Zip the Cartographer (Very NSF56K)

[Zippyy]

Recently, my adventrous spirit took advantage of my better judgement. Grinding ground to a halt. Level 50 must wait, foreign lands are afoot!



I had just finished the last segment of Cortello's Riddle, and was thus on the east coast of the Hinterlands. I began swimming north along the coast, along and past the plaguelands. A vast mountain range separates the ocean from the monsters.

As I swam, I swam ashore wherever the land would permit. There wasn't anything interesting for the most part. I noticed that the mountains and land formations started to repeat. Copied and pasted inlets and the like. H2G2 anyone?

I was somewhere around here.



Then, something strange happened. I swam ashore, mounted up, and fell into the land!



At first I thought I had fallen into the world, but then I realized it was actually just a bunch of square holes. I know these to be freshly dug graves, for they had the aroma of impending cadavers.




I wanted adventure and not corpses, so I continued. The repeating mountains were becoming tedious, and also very steep, and there didn't seem to be any opportunity to cross them.



I had come a long way, and had a long way to go.



The ocean was infinitely deep. I wanted to explore, but an ugly beast blocked my path.



I swam and swam along the north coast, until I met a miracle.



A way across, or so it seems. I had to investigate. The repetitious mountains had ceased and my true adventures could begin.

I ran, rode, climbed, fell, slid, and jumped my way to whatever lay behind those mountains.



I roared with victory.

Which unexpectedly lead to my death at the hands (?) of my own sword.

There was a vast expanse of not much. Some of the ground had strange white spots, and there were also very unusual land formations reminiscent of Bolty's beta adventures.









There were some REALLY steep and deep cliffs.









Would I survive?

[Zippyy]

Yes! TGMSSWO! There were several of these cliffs.



One looked like my mind's eye of Mordor's Black Gate.



I had an elaborate story planned out for this thread, but I gave up. Ignore the text. I assume this is some sort of prop from the plaguelands. It looks funny from this end. :)



I couldn't climb up to it no matter how hard I tried, nor could I escape from the crater I had leapt into.



I made it to this general area.

But it was an imposter. :rolleyes:

Yep, I've noticed that the randomizer name function just seems to grab names from the other servers, and present them. I've come across my "troll shaman" on Stormrage as a human female paladin a couple of times.

On a related note, my current boss's is named Henry Bringham, and he goes by henryb. That is dangerously close to Thenryb.

I think he should go by BringHam.

I think he should go by BringHam.

Question: How come your font looks different? The "Artega challenges you to a duel" and "Fatigue" looks different than my font.

Hax. :shuriken:


But seriously, it's Insomniax mod. At first I didn't like the new font, but I was too lazy to change it and by now I'm used to it.
