Vives is difficult - No one said it would be easy..
Posted: 17 Mar 2004 05:44 AM |
The days and life of a girl named Nova Seclorum
well it all started on nova's first day out adventuring.. with a few cantrips and alot of confidence.. she steps out into the world of Vives.. a beautiful land, with rich colors, sounds and the occassional hungry wolf tearing up deer. She loves the scenery and wishes life would stay as it is for all time. But such.. is not the case for this poor soul *evil grin*
She grabs her wizardly robe, and boots, and steps out the door of her family cottage...
feels how cold it is and steps back in.. putting on her robe and boots..
Later that day outside of Midor.. she memorizes her few spells and begins her journey of exploration of the world and herself.. she.. then...
travels just outside Midor and spots a bandit near a cave entrance, demading the gold from a local farmer.. being the lawful person she is, and confident in her spells.. she approaches the bandit.. The bandit spotting her and seeing the look on her face begins to cast a spell.. something Nova hadn't heard before. A large ball of fire flys across the landscape and explodes directly on Nova's chest.. throwing her many yards back...
Every hair on her body burnt off.. smelling of burnt flesh... she goes into shock and dies..
soon she awakens at the temple of Midoran .. a local priest had found her burnt body and drug her back to the temple... first of many times.. after awakening.. she takes a few days to rest and regains her determination..
she then..
Went to a kobold lookout post near Midor.. 3 Acid arrows immediately shoot out.. Nova dies.. becoming a puddle of acid and flesh.. A midoran priest scoops whats left of Nova into a little cup and brings it back to the temple.. There she sits as a puddle of ooze until the head priest who was out of town returns and shows pity on our wizardress.. returning her to life..
She spends a few days recovering.. but soon gathers her confidence back.. (the church is great for confidence and motivation).. then...
Nova goes out into the bright city of Midor looking for adventure, fame and friends..
She is first greeted by an evil being claiming to be immortal, and the being asks if she has any friends.. she says not yet, and the being says "Good, you will not be missed then" she fears for her life and runs... terrified of the new city.. she wanders the woods alone..
Maybe she will have better luck with wild game.
Nova ventures out into the outskirts of town, a little trek into the outlands.. and finds a few little cute badgers.. but then! the badgers enter a rage upon seeing nova enter their domain, they charge and nova tries to run, but a blade of grass trips her.. she falls, and the world seems to freeze for what seems an eternity.. she is released from whatever hold was grasping her.. the badgers nip at her legs.. she slows.. and barely within reach of the city guards.. but a larger badger gets in a vicious bite.. and Nova falls.. the badgers continue their vicious assault.. they chew her eyes, her nose.. even pulling on her leg hairs.. oh the agony! She goes into shock and all is black, she awakens in the temple of Midoran.. with priests all around her. Praise be to Midoran.. she is alive.. so..
Nova then..
Went to the sewers.. she is surrounded by rats, unable to move in any direction, tries to get a spell off but in the course of the spell the rats notice an extra oppertunity and attack yet again.. she dies with a 1000 bite marks.. and becomes rat food.
Nova wanders the city and a visits the Unicorn inn, and a small girl pleads for her doll.. and being stout of heart, with less common sense than a bowling ball, she promises the girl to go get that doll back from the dreaded sewers.. again.. she ventures down into the sewers a little more prepared.. she memorized her mighty flaming hands spell.. oh the smell of burnt rat fur.. just sent chills down her spin.. the revenge.. she craved was coming.. Nova steps into the sewers and notices dead rat corpses everywhere.. "hmm interesting" she thinks.. she lights her torch and continues on.. then out of no where.. around a bend comes a little green spider.. She steps on the vile thing and it lets out a strange scream like noise upon death.. she thinks nothing of it and continues.. a few seconds later.. another small green spider appears.. but this one was tougher, and fought for it's life.. but Nova was victorious.. she squashes the thing.. she continues on.. with confidence.. she can take on anything this place has to offer and WILL return that doll.. a few moments later she opens a big steel door and notices small bits of web.. "oh the little spider's home, this will be too easy".. she steps inside and rushes forward only to be greeted by what appears to be the mother of all spiders... it quickly rushes towards her!.. and before Nova could react.. she is bitten.. poison and pain shooting toughout her body.. barely able to move.. she attempt to cast her spell, but like the rats.. the spider notices an opening in her defenses (like she has some), and bites her again.. Nova falls, and the spider quickly spins a cacoon.. her world goes black..
Nova again awakens in the loving arms of Midoran priests .. very weak and shaken.. but determined as always.. Nova..
Went to the graveyard ... oh boy.. I can run faster than the vile undead.. but her foot trips over a loose bone of an unfinished grave, she trips and the world seems to freeze.. for just a moment, and WHAM, many half decomposed fists slam down upon the hapless wizard.. she dies and become food for zombies.. until the priests find her torn up corpse and drag it back to Midor temple for healing.. Nova was determined not to let this upset her ...
soo.. after many days, she finally saves enough to purchase a scroll of invisibility, and thinks.. OH boy! I can sneak out and explore the world.. but no sooner had she casted the spell and crossed in the kobold territory north of Midor.. a kobald shaman spots her through the cloak of invisibilty and alerts the rest.. she runs.. but a twig on the ground trips her and the world seems to freeze yet again.. the pain! poisons, arrows, and wolves, all rip her to shreads.. but the priests of midor find her dead, poisoned, limbless body and restore her.
(I bet the kobolds are using her arms as clubs.. someone return her arms, there's a valuable ring to be returned).
well.. Nova then hears about a planned Tour of the lands.. OH BOY! she thinks.. the best oppertunity to go out and actually see the world.. with armed guards and other adventurers...
Just the oppertunity she was looking for.. and it's FREE! excitedly she visits the tour guides outside of town as the notice said and begins her trip.. oh it was exciting, she visits new location after new location.. 1... 2.. 4.. she felt that she was learning so much of the world..
but the air grew hot.. thick ash and dust made it hard to breath.. where was this guide taking her.. The brave adventurers started coming under attack from Giants of the hills.. a volcano loomed ahead.. straight ahead.. ahead of Nova.. but the brave adventuerers seemed more than capable.. and the mighty wizard Balthor appeared.. there could be no stopping them..
she ventured on with confidence in her companions.. They reached the volcano, Nova barely able to breath, scaled down the rope that lead to the inner depths of the volcano.. scared a bit but confident. No sooner had they reached the inside of something.. a temple maybe.. small drakes appeared out of the shadows.. it was HOT.. very HOT and nova hid in the shadows.. this was way beyond her... her companions easily dispatched the young wurmlings.. On they continued.. they dispatch giants of fire.. and vile hounds of flame and fire, they pressed on.. then finally a larger, much stronger, seemingly unstoppable giants steps forth to challenege the adventuerer.. one by one they fall.. the giant turns its attention to Nova.. she beings to run, but the giant raises his mighty size 80 shoe and steps on our senseless wizardress.. smooshing her to a flat stain on the ground.. all goes black.. then she hears voices.. is it a dream? is she imaging this? .. (a long while later)... she awakens .. fully healed and re-inflated.. The brave adventurers restore her and they all fought their way back to civilization, where they went their seperate ways.. when she was interviewed about how she enjoyed the tour.. she reponded... *censored* *censored* and you can *censored*.
The moral to this story is, do not go out into the world ill prepared for death.. and Vives is not a world to take lightly, it is very dangerous and you should stay home and knit sweaters.
oh but there's more! much more... stay tuned..
This story was meant to be humorous, please take it as such and have fun with it.. as much fun as I had writing it. I love my character and love interacting with all of you who make up Vives.. best roleplaying experience I've ever had.. oh and fun too..

| Lovely satire, (if a woman can be satirical) I enjoyed the read. Well done. Please post some more. |
Never argue with an idiot.
They drag you down to their level
and then beat you with experience.
