A Day on Red

[Feanol]

I found myself again in Kelethin. At first I thought these people were mad, but I see now the message these Elves intend for their young citizens and warriors: between life and death, there is but a fine line...

[Cecily]

We just like it because it's safe up in the trees.

[Feanol]

A local fisher informed me the Sea King had departed for Faydwer a mere hour before my arrival at the docks. She also told me to watch my back, since a Barbarian was about that had stolen something from her. Clouds rolled in as evening became night. I placed a worm on my fishing hook...

[indiscriminate_hater]

I know what you're going through. I too once fell under the spell of opium. It was 1979. I was travelling the Yangtzee in search of a Mongolian horsehair vest. I had got to the market after sundown, all of the clothing traders had gone, but a different sort of trader still lurked about. "Just a taste," he said. That was all it took.

[Feanol]

The scent of rotting flesh filled my nostrils. The others of my pack tore viciously at the exposed bones and skin of our fallen prey. Lupine howls echoed through the halls, rivaled only by the moans of countless undead...

[Feanol]

Wind tore at the the walls of the large hut. These Northern Men sleep like savages with no door to keep out a draft. It took several checks to find a bed, most rooms containing nothing more than an animal's hide draped on the cold floor. A hardy folk indeed...

[Feanol]

I was weary from my journey from the Northern mountains, laden with the trinkets and weapons of slain foes. Such things seem to fetch a good price in the Human city. The grass below my feet felt soft and welcoming, unlike the volcanic ash that still clung to my pant-legs. The setting Star was so striking I had to sit and observe it's recession...

[Feanol]

My cloak did little to keep me dry in the pelting rain. Soaked to the skin, I came across a small encampment of Humans making their stead by a river. Just a few buildings in all, but each one had exactly what I coveted: A roof.

[Nirgon]

We made a wall of ogres so the scums couldn't get into fear

Lol'd hard

[Hailto]

Role playing on red, you're gonna have a bad time.

[Feanol]

The sheer cliffs ended. I came to the base of the serpentine causeway, glad to be rid of the unnerving specter of a long fall to death. The pass through the mountains is dangerous to the inattentive, but the coming dark portrayed new threats. Creatures that wait until it's just dark enough...

[Aesop]

These are good posts Feanol. I like Norrath through your eyes

[Feanol]

Thank you Aesop! I'm always hovering a finger over F10, waiting for the right moments =D

[Aesop]

You roam Norrath, the lowliest of places and wait for moments when all the pixels conspire to make a man love a place that only exists in the mind.

But how many men love things that only exist in their mind? Perhaps all,

It matters not, the beauty is inherent and you do some other man justice by noticing what care he took with this world.

Even this, project 1999 is a poem to a Norrath that was created imperfect, and thus perfect. This is the true draw.

[Feanol]

The Djinn stood guard as I took rest. The treeline seemed to go on forever. Enormous hills would excite the thought that my journey was over and the fields near Qeynos lay just over the next crest. Rather than civilization, a small stone ring with a chiseled focus stood at the bottom of yet another valley.

[PVP Cleric]

Role playing on red, you're gonna have a bad time.

Seems like he's having fun to me.

This thread is pretty damn awesome.

Why would anyone want to play any other MMO? Those screenies are all so great. <3 EQ.

[Confit]

Sirken DTing the ogre wall made me lol.

Look forward to more screenies Feanol!

[Feanol]

Erud had made this crossing. Disgusted with the barbarity and petty rivalry of his fellows, he gathered those possessed with greater insight and higher knowledge. He took them onto the sea, leaving behind the squabbles of other men. As the breeze shook the white sail, I wondered what he must have felt upon making first sight of Odus...

[Lyrith]

I really like these! Keep it up!

[Videri]

Moar screenshots and stories! You remind me there's more to this experience than exp.

[Dynamo]

Great thread. Good luck on your journey!

[Feanol]

The smell was awful. A sulfurous haze filled the air of the old mineshaft that had been left to the Goblins. I couldn't decide which was worse, the scent of scarred deep earth or the exposed innards of the creatures we left split open.

[Feanol]

I couldn't believe I had made the climb. The surface of the ancient carving was covered in ice. I stepped carefully onto the outstretched arm, my paws padding softly on the Fresh snow. The view was incredible. I kept an eye out for my foe...

[Feanol]

Over 2000 views and a five star rating!!! Thanks you guys for reading, more adventure to follow!

[Feanol]

The giant collapsed, bereft of it's life. A cloud of snow filled the air as the impact of it's weight hit the ground. In the nearby caverns an unearthly screech could be faintly heard; the cry of an ancient Wurm. The Queen sensed the felling of her attendant, and even our hardy grey fur did not preserve us from the chill upon hearing that voice...

[Feanol]

The man was kind enough to lend me a stack of hay. He kept an eye on me though I could not blame him. I pulled off my boots and laid my mail to the side, glad to feel light and natural again. Outside this sanctuary lay a world of fear and danger.... but the next few hours were mine alone.

It was quiet. So quiet. No one else appeared to have left footsteps here. The water tumbled gently, but a dull roar could be heard in every step. The original Men stood about, and I decided to try the waters with my own skill in Fishing (178)

Well, I don't use floating names by default as you may have noticed in my portfolio.

I'll tell you what. Next time I come across a corpse, I'll /kneel next to it and post that. You savages won't be able to tell the difference. Cheers!

Thread is pretty accurate to the r99 experience pre 50.

Barely any pvp at all outside of twinks trying to grief.

(Love r99, just saying)

[Purdee]

screenshots look good :)

[Feanol]

I couldn't feel my right leg. Blood leaked over my eyes, blinding me. We snarled and gnawed on each others flesh in a desperate contest for life. Could this be it? Will this be the last day I watch the sun fall on the horizon?

[Pint]

Still the best thread on the boards

[Feanol]

A channel into the cavern poured sunlight from above. The design included a base that hung just below the portal, showering the light to the sides. A small fort sat atop a massive rock to our right. I wondered what kind of people built such a city, it seemed too elegant and intricate for simple human minds...

[Feanol]

A passerby informed us the Sea King had disembarked shortly before our arrival. The Halfling and myself were not interested in passage however, only the catching of fish. A cask full of Ale and a bucket of worms set the scene for laughter and stories. Even a Troll awaiting the boat could not help but join in and try his luck with the water.

[Pint]

you would think being a red troll that he would eat the two of you and use your innards to bait his hook.

[Susvain2]

[Heebo]

How was prison?

[Feanol]

He had just passed the barn, heading up the hillside. I glanced over my shoulder from behind the tree, careful to make my presence unknown. Kneeling I swung forward a quiver, taking count of what arrows I had left. I would wait until the stars appeared and the country fell dark. Then I would attack.

[Feanol]

People never look up. They are so accustomed to having all their needs, their friends, their world at eye level. The Empire of the Combine had left these four monoliths here. They now served as my vantage.

[Nune]

i like it - his first instinct to PvP was straight troll cats porting in from the top of the spire.

Well if its literal cats from the moon then he's doing gods work I guess

You know that moment when the sky turns purple? There has to be just the right amount of clouds. It only last for a few minutes usually. Depends on the season as well, I seem to notice it more in Autumn.

[Feanol]

A little late on this one, but FOUR THOUSAND VIEWS!!!

Thanks to everyone who keeps checking for new images, I'm amazed at the response I've gotten for this thread that I assumed would be buried in a week or so.

My "Computer Monitor" is a Vivitek D554 Projector (http://www.vivitekusa.com/productdetail.php?product_id=100&vertical_id=2) so when stuff looks pretty I take note quickly and hit that screenshot button fast.

I'll continue capturing moments that make my heart skip a beat, I hope you all continue to enjoy them!

[Byel]

5☆ for ogre wall. Awesome

[Feanol]

The Old King was dead. Dark blood pooled beneath his mangled corpse in the atrium of the throne room. I did not suppose, nor desire, the rule of Guk for myself. I would move on as I always have.

[Feanol]

When I first spotted it beached on the sand from afar I nearly turned back. My curiosity got the better of me and I approached the massive carcass. I know not what it fed upon to become so large, but the rows of jagged teeth and gaping maw must have made nearly everything that swims into prey.

[Clark]

Good thread. :)

[Feanol]

The Blade felt light in my hand. The pommel was balanced very well, obviously the craft of an Elf. The sword has a Dwarven lineage as well. I could feel the ancient power, the coursing strength the spirits embedded in this weapon.

[Feanol]

They just hung there in midair. Incredible. Entire landmasses lashed together by enormous shackles and free-floating. I could not grasp why such a place would exist...

[Pint]

Gratz on your swiftwind feanol!

Feanol, YT screenies please. It is red afterall

[Feanol]

He told me he had been banished. He did not say why and I did not ask. It seems customary for the Iksar to exile their criminals and heretics. Perhaps it's a reason why they hold such power over this continent... the weak are abandoned. Leaving only the strong.

[Feanol]

I floated perfectly still. I left my eyes open against my better judgement, careful to hold them steady. It did not appear to have acknowledged me... but who can fathom the mind of a shark.

I left the tunnel and was greeted with a strange sight. A small beach lay before me, sand already working it's way into my boots. Men lived in a single hut built upon stilts over the strange saltwater pool. My own guess is a falling star had wrought this, or perhaps an eruption from the soil of Norrath...

[klant]

reds never looked so blue

[Feanol]

Simply massive. A single rib was five times my own height at least. I wanted to gauge the size of a tooth but... well... I kept my distance from that jaw. I've seen dead dragons move before.

Peace at last. So much combat... My legs were weary. Exhausted I sat on the small thatched hut these Northmen had built in the water. I always liked these Original Men, ancestors of old. Citizens of Qeynos, I last heard.

The marble stonework reminded me of Tunarian times. The Combine Empire of old, so strong in their magic and their craftsmanship, had fashioned these portals. Wizards know their secrets, but only the history remains for me.

[Babass]

You, good Sir, have the eye and the quill of a poet !

I felt a chill in the breeze. Likely signs of an incoming storm. And yet, the sky was especially clear.

[bakkily]

Feanol, you have your ss's looking so crisp.

[Feanol]

Steam... steam and a massive spinning maul. Ingenious, even for a Gnome. The sound was deafening.

[Feanol]

My swing had missed. With my weight off balance and my guard down, the opponent readied his killing blow. Those soulless green eyes seemed to relish the moment that would be the severing of my head.

[Feanol]

A tiny gnome just ran past at an incredible speed. A lone robed human approached in the vale walking with confident calm. This odd hieroglyphed pillar was attended by a beetle with mandibles large enough to cut a man clear in half. Norrath is strange.

that's a myth, had a full group in Kurn's Tower the other day... shit was awesome, we're all great chums.

[Feanol]

A Necromancer. A Cazic-Thule Cultist. We arrived at tenuous truce after sizing each other up. I think he was shocked to see an Erudite in the Tower.

[goldlush]

I kinda wished you posted the names of the locations, too :/

[AxerJ]

It's your writing, Feanol! Refreshing art. You seem to have a generous helping of the poet's gift, as it's been said. Thanks for your creativity!

Favorite of mine so far is the latest wizard spire. Looks immense, high-fantasy, and love how you reference the Combine Empire. Looks like that shot could have been a promo screenshot. Second favorite is the latest one with the Erudite Necromancer, mostly because you identified him as a Cazic Thule cultist. For whatever reason the fact that Paineel Erudites are all worshipping Cazic Thule is especially cool to me. Pretty badass god to worship, and really changes the Erudite persona.

[Feanol]

I took in the evening air. I had not drawn breath that did not reek of corpse for many days. The movements of the Sun and Moon had no meaning inside the ancient Iksar tower; I could not say how long I had stayed. I was glad to be traveling again.

[Feanol]

You could still feel the heat emanating from the body. Getting close enough to swing a blade seared the flesh. The Iksar did not seem to mind with its hardened scales. It crowed over the corpse in animal blood lust.

[Efwan]

Why do I look so weird in your screenshot? :(

[Videri]

We traded traveler's stories. Some meat roasted over the flame as he recalled time spent in the North before it was overrun by Goblins. I enthralled him with descriptions of faraway Kunark and the strange life that grows there. The fire turned to embers in our distraction.

[Feanol]

I love to come here. The valley is idyllic and without the dangers of the populous towns. The odd but friendly catfolk offer both equipment with which to fish their fine waters and flavorful brews of a most potent fermentation. Tucked away in the far West, one can be at ease.

[Mordyth]

Still an A+ thread. Thanks for the entertainment

[Gilder]

Awesome thread. Would love to see some Lavastorm pictures/stories.

[Feanol]

The water was brisk. I would make camp with the Peoples of the Karanas once I reached the Northern Plains. With my body rested and my clothes dried by the morning Sun I would set upon the road again East, to Freeport.

The Goblins were not unfriendly if you relaxed and made conversation. Quite a few of them spoke the Common Tongue, which I was surprised to hear. They certainly knew how to drink and we spent long hours discussing the length of Rat Tails...

[Feanol]

The infighting between Iksar clans was legendary for it's brutality and scope. I did not have all the details, only what I had learned from ancient texts and oral recounts. At times the entire continent was stained in the blood of war. These fallen monuments lay like bones whispering a violent past.

Every now and then I lay in the grass. Normally I scan the trees, the cliffs, the waterline... any movement can signal a life and death battle. The monsters roaming the wilderness are nothing compared the aimless bloodlust of other travelers. Sometimes I get away with ten or twenty minutes of calm breeze across my face...

I wondered if they had names. I knew the Gnomes had constructed optical machines for observing them, going so far as creating maps of their wandering paths through the sky. Luclin is certainly the most dramatic of these bodies, but the other points of light held more mystery for me.

My back was wet. I think I had fallen over again. I stared up at the trees spinning above me and I could feel I was about to vomit. Some sled dogs watched me curiously as I tried to stand up out of the snow but my balance was too poor. I fell back over and dropped my stein on the ground, draining what was left of my ale. Probably for the better...

It gets dark. Underneath the canopy in these rent and smoldering woodlands the night falls early and falls deep. It's within my blood to maintain a clear sight in these cases, but I've heard of traveling Humans becoming lost and disoriented.

It must have some kind of significance. I assumed it was a sculpture, but I could have been convinced a powerful Wizard simply turned a live brood into frozen obsidian. The orb pulsed with an unnatural light. It seemed to me I could hear faint growling from the platform. I kept moving.

Many works of stone and wood are abandoned to the wastes of time in the Timorus Deep. The people from the cities make use of sailing boats that cross these waters but stray not from the docks. There are many secret places, little alcoves, quiet homesteads... Above and below the waves are things few have seen and fewer understand.

[Feanol]

I have always felt an affinity for the rolling dunes of Ro. It's my understanding that beneath the shifting sands lie ruins of the greatest Elvish society to have lived on Antonica. Its still possible to see some of their masoncraft protruding from the ground. It was a forest of particular beauty with abundant life. Today there is nothing but the wastes wrought by divine wrath...

I had finally reached my limits. The Druids taught me all they could. I could not imagine how my strength might go beyond what I possessed already. Instructed in the arts of martial combat as I was, my masters told me there was nothing left to teach. I was a true Warder, a soldier of the Surefall Glade. With my weapons light in hand I would demonstrate the will of Karana.

Thank you for 24,000 views. So much love to all of you.

So many gains to be had!

Oh I remember OP so clearly, grouped wit buddy in KC. He stopped DPSing so he could regen mana. I whipped his back to get to work. He kept medding so I stoned him. Rezzed him in, he was stubborn. So I stoned him again and left his body in Rcy

[Cecily]

Congrats Feanol!

[indiscriminate_hater]

awesome

[Begather]

she's gorgeous!

She is really very cute.

[Gardur]

God I'm so immersed right meow.

[Feanol]

We prepared as best we could. I fortified my friends with all the magick I knew. Many had come, yet my sense of unease would not abate. Everyone knew where the portal would lead...

[Agecroft]

/ooc Youre bringing back so many memories of Fear! Thanks Feanol!

[Nirgon]

Look at Telin's spell effects work right there

Just great, really

[fan D]

neat looking sword, you are a powerful outrider

[Smurn]

Thanks Feanol

He stood among the sepulchre as a judge of souls. The battle had been brief with causalities on both sides. Appearing from nowhere as we carried our bodies off the field, this strange Gnome observed us. Then as suddenly as he had appeared he was gone. The Planar Realms are always home to strange sights.

[Tameth]

yussss!

[Kevynne]

this thread tugs at my nostalgia strings like whoa. i want to play with you. more plox

This place again. The Orge must have been oblivious to how close he was to the edge. I don't think anyone could glance behind them and remain in place after failing to see a bottom in the sky. I've studied in the Libraries of Ak'Anon and Erudin and I considered myself a learned man, yet what I thought I knew about the properties of ether offered me no answers. It would figure that only Wizards know such madness exists.

[Gardur]

Got dayum I'm immersed right meow.

You could feel the ground tremble from time to time. Small drifts of loose snow would begin to slide downhill. The Yeti would pause for a moment and sniff the air. She stalks these frozen hills, regal and terrifying. If you happen to see Her from afar it may already be too late to run.

[Kevynne]

gratz in sky, heard it was fruitful

[Feanol]

A suspect meeting indeed. The Troll unconsciously licked his lips yet kept himself restrained. It seems that neither hunger nor hatred carries greater weight than business. The Halfling handed over the items being bargained, careful to maintain an arms reach from the enormous creature. It is not every day such a conference doesn't end in death or consumption.

[Videri]

Curunol keeps PC names off. Dude probably doesn't bat an eyelash at a character in AON/skeleton form because no one else in his world has a nameplate either.

[Feanol]

A light breeze jostled the leaves leaving a moist and sweet scent in the air. It was clear overhead but dense clouds lurked at the horizon. Small animals began to hurry their business, most heading for their humble holes in the soil. It was going to rain.

This was my all time favourite thread

WHERE DEM PICS AT?!

[indiscriminate_hater]

bump. come back Feanol

[Feanol]

A Sickness has come over the land. The fields run afoul with beasts not of the Rain Lord's make. Sullied and diseased these plains have become. My efforts to hunt yield no avail yet I continue to fight.

[India]

He's back!! yay!!!

[Zade]

Fight the good fight, sir!

I have left the golden deserts, bubbling swamps, mountain passes... the rolling plains of Antonica behind. I come to join the migrates and settlers in the beachhead city of Firiona Vie, where I will make my home. These ancient lands hold many secrets for those willing to seek them out.

The Lizardmen had summoned Him. I waited patiently for hours, hidden in a corner watching the ritual take place. I allowed them to complete the invocation of their God so that I might test myself against It. In His own Plane I would not dare challenge Fear alone, but here in Norrath I felt my powers were more than a match for this Avatar.

[Feanol]

Long since fallen, the Empire of the Combine still dominates the landscape. This Hidden City must have provided refuge from the howling winds of the nearby Tundra. Tucked away in the mountains of Western Kunark, safe from the Ring of Scale.

[necro316]

love it!

[India]

Best part of these forums is reading your posts Feanol

[Feanol]

I killed him. The Kobolds were weak, but I thought if I fought them the Heretic City might look upon me more kindly. I fought my way to the halls of nobles and found their King. I laid him to rest and sat myself upon the throne. Hopefully the powerful inside Paineel will recognize my feats.

[Muggens]

Tremendous thread!

[Animated0]

I dare you to smell the seat of that throne.

This is what a real day is like for a red99 player:

http://i.imgur.com/5OkpMor.jpg?1

[Feanol]

Energy surged from my body irradiating the air. My control of manna has reached such a level that it surprises even me. Months of study in the great libraries of Erudin on Odus, the Academy of Arcane Science, and Mechana-Magica on Faydwer has brought me to this. No single book or ancient scroll pushed me to this new plateau however, it was the teachings of life in Norrath and my countless battles that unlocked the potential I never knew I had.

[Zade]

I wish there was some sort of tie between these epic posts. Tell us a story, precious.

Grouped with Feanol in KC a week or two ago. Feanol still walks among Red Norrath.

[Feanol]

I removed the soiled bandage and inspected the wound. The gash was extremely deep, it had surely severed many layers of muscle. The loss of blood was making my thoughts fuzzy and distant. I cleaned it the best I knew how. Lying against a tree in the evening quiet of the dimming forest I made a small prayer to Karana. Perhaps I should have been appealing to Rodcet Nife...

[Feanol]

There was something strange about Her. Given the fathomless depths of power She possessed and the fact She was reposed in a reality of Her own making... Why then this small and slender form? Many Deities chose an appearance reflective of their incredible abilities and magick, taking on enormous and imposing manifestations. She smiled, confirming for me that my thoughts were as an open book for the Mother.

[SamwiseRed]

Drugs?

[Bones]

Haha, what is this?

looks like a 3d version of the old runescape game kids played in computer class in the 8th grade

[Feanol]

There was an Ogre in gleaming gold plated mail. He turned to face me and I began to feel a sensation of shrinking, of falling toward the ground yet my feet remained in place. It was a strange day.

[Feanol]

Traversing the Rathean Mountains always brings one to a state of exhaustion. The thin air does not help. I found myself in a small vale between ridges when it appeared, emerging from behind a massive boulder. I froze in place unsure of whether to flee or draw blade. It closer the distance between us with unnatural speed and I felt a drowsy sensation as it gazed into my eyes...

do the sphinxes in rathe mountains

[Feanol]

The canyon winds endlessly into the hills, hewn by some ancient people lost to time. Mosaics carved into the granite walls depict the visages of old kings. Small towers built by modern cultures keep watch along the precarious ridge, home now to bandits preying on travelers. Here at the apex of the road a rising sun welcomes my weary legs to the Human castle of Highpass.

[Shrubwise]

Love the thread man, keep it going.

Keep the RP alive!! Fun thread =)

[Rygar]

I thought of you when I was running through Beholder's Maze to check out the zone and update some wiki stuff some weeks ago. I was at that unique rock structure and looked straight up and it was dusk or something. The gorge walls were zig zagging and putting a nice juxtaposition to the sky, then the moon slowly came into view. I waited until it eventually was perfectly positioned between the gorge cliffs and above the strange monument.

It was one of the few times on P99 I just was in awe of the beauty in such an old relic of a game. Also made me wonder if that monument was somehow connected to Luclin as the moon passed perfectly over it.

I hope I took a screenshot, not sure though.

[Kaeru]

Nice thread man.

[Llandris]

unlocked!

[Feanol]

I scrambled gasping onto the the sands of the beach, sounds of sloshing water just behind me breaking still and silent night air. A low gurgle slowly became the frustrated growls and exhalations of my pursuer as it searched the shoreline waters for my presence. Belly-first I inched further and further toward solid land leaving the enormous serpent to thrash seawater in it's failed hunt.

[mickmoranis]

hmm I dont see anyone in those screenshots, definitely a day on red!

Sadly that visible moon in the night sky is Drinal not Luclin! It was called Shadows of Luclin because it was hidden from the eye.

The Necromancer rose from the floor of his citadel, the pure force of his magic causing him to ascend. My compatriots fought desperately. Any of us alone would have been no match for the Undead Iksar Lord so we had come to the Castle in great numbers. The legendary Acetylene took point against the Spectre, drawing his attention while the rest of us caused damage carefully and subtly. Could we possibly achieve what the Iksar Empire could not? Could we kill that which is already dead?

His rotted form filled the cave with unbearable stench. During our combat with The General many of my comrades were felled simply by the force of his incredible rot and decay. My swords were covered in a thick bile that would surely require some kind of magick to cleanse. His enchanted teeth were ripped one by one from the maw, as requested by the shade of Emperor Ganak.

i always wondered how raids would work. what's stopping some others from just smashing you and taking VS? nothing right? madness.

When risk of this is high you create a PVP group to stand guard. There are successful raids every day. Sometimes it’s more fun when the raid isn’t as successful as planned but there is large scale PVP.

His gaze, ancient and terrible, froze the blood in my veins...

[putrid_plum]

It's pretend PvP so they can soak up the sweet XP bonus and then raid holding hands all day / night long!

where is teh pv p?

I get the joke but this is obviously a roleplay/artistic screenshot thread..

He said his name was Allus. He grew up farming in the Karana Plains, far from my own childhood home of Freeport. We both recognized the similarity. He was raised by his Father only, whereas I came from a house of five. I wondered perhaps...

A Generation of dutiful guardianship had made him weak. Standing sentry outside the very gates of Dragonkind's home, the Lord grew complacent in his power. The foes that had come before to challenge him in the Wastes were utterly destroyed. He was not expecting my own incursion, or that of my sturdy companions.
