An Adventurer's Diary

Aerfalle Quest Done Nekkid
October 12th, 2001

A few friends and I decided to try something new, and what better challeng than doing the Island Quest naked? No clothes and no armor. This is the first nekkid run on Solclaim, and maybe the first one anywhere.

Looking at a Cultist Altar
October 27th, 2001

Strange rumours emerging from the newly opened Marae Lassel lure adventurers from all over Dereth. While exploring the island, Av and Nakamuro Zataki discover a Cultis Altar. With foul words they defill the altar. Enraged a Black Breath suddenly spawns...

First Queen Quest on Solclaim
October 28th, 2001

We got swarmed by a tremendous amount of olthois. At first it was impossible to move away from where we had landed, but after a few minutes of hard fighting their lines slowly started to give way.

Olthoi Queen Quests
November 3rd, 2001

The Olthoi Queen stood there majestetically, completly unaware of what was about to happen, or maybe she just couldn't be bothered, judgeing us to be no threat?

Shendolain Quest
Janurary 7th, 2002

We decided to do the old Shendolain Quest with our clan. Then after most people had left strange things started happening...

Nekkid Queen Quest
January 30th, 2002

Bat says to your fellowship, "can i try tank her nekkid?"
You say to your Fellowship, "sure bat"
Bat says to your fellowship, "without shield"
You say to your Fellowship, "ooookay ;p"

Nekkid in BZ Dungeon
March 3rd, 2002

Ihuma II says to your fellowship, "F*ck I confirm that Av is mentally unstable! :P"
Av says to fellowship, "lol one should not jump down naked as the first peep"
Av says to fellowship, "Trial and error :)"

The Pilgrimage
March 22nd, 2002

One of the most memorable things we ever did was travel to the Edge of the World. Touching the invisible wall and seeing the boundaries of the virtual world before us after over a year of playing was special.

Nekkid and Unbuffed Coral Hunting
April 4th, 2002

Have you ever tried hunting on Aerlinthe nekkid and unbuffed? We did!

Your fellow Sakkara has died! Your fellow Tumitac has died! Your fellow Av has died! Your fellow Dahls has died! Coral Golem beats you to a lifeless pulp!

OP Nudists
August 8th, 2002

We went and hunted nekkid on the Obisidan Plains in a big fellowship. Suddenly Panzerfaust accidently recalled, and shortly after we could hear "umm -- i don't know where i tied my primary -- but it's snowy and i'm naked"

Sakkara's Harem
August 13th, 2002

Sakkara, Tumitac, Tumzeus, Phade, Whiskeyjack and Nakamuro Zataki are back on Aerlinthe hunting nekkid and buffed. During the fighting Phade dies and we make a very interesting find when we loot his corpse...

Who do I remind again?
August 25th, 2002

Dereth Deathteam Questing was the name on some of the tutorial runs that we did. The idea was to let the new quest leaders learn the quests by trial and error. Bat and I were just along as backup, dropping the odd tip now and then.

Mad Golem Dungeon
August 28th, 2002

Each patch brings new challenges to Dereth and this one was no exception. The Callous Heart Dungeon was filled with rapidly respawning Crystal and Coral Golems that could keep any group busy for hours, so we decided to check it out.

Trying it out Nekkid
September 8th, 2002

After warming up with some hyssop both golems and clothes started to drop on the dungeon floor to Flute's delight.

Bat says to your fellowship, "im the snake man!!!!"

The Battle at Gaerlan's Citadel
September 19th, 2002

I wonder where the castle crashed? His young voice echoed across the mountains.
You mean to tell me you lost the big castle!!
Yes, mum... I .... uhm... he stuttered.
Jeeze, you are a bad son. *mumbling* He lost a castle, what will the boy loose next?

The Hyssop Cult
September 20th, 2002

The land is full of secret societies, some are small, others are large, but none is as addictive as the Hyssop Cult. This is the story of Rhaman's followers.

A Silent Shadow Speaks
October 7th, 2002

We sat meditating. Our minds silent, listening to the deep voice speaking far below us. She spoke of a time before the human invasion, a time of happiness and peace.

A Meeting with Ulgrim the Unpleasant
October 16th, 2002

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "Nakamuro Zataki?"
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "I have heard some weird names, but..."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "What were your parents thinking?!"

Pink Queen Quest
November 3rd, 2002

In the darkest depths of Marescent Plateau on far Marae Lassel, the party of the bold Ishamael has slain the young queen of the island's Olthoi brood! As one, the Olthoi swarms recoil from her final burst of terror, and slowly begin to withdraw back into their hives.

Trout Wars
November 4th, 2002

"At 3PM Pacific I got a tell saying our mansion was being TROUTED. I quickly returned to the house to find Ellen Ripley and Bat waving Fish Flags and dancing on the roof. The worse was yet to come .... "

Aerlinthe Nekkid
November 7th, 2002

Just before Awi'tch scatters the petrified bones across the ash of the port, it attempts to cast a portal to retreat! The ancient port of Aerlinthe is peaceful again... or at least as peaceful as it ever gets. But now the party has only ninety minutes to find and destroy the Lady of Aerlinthe!

Virindi Shroud and Caul
November 30th, 2002

"Wow.. what a view!" says Sassy.
"What are you behind me?" ... "LOL" ... "Beeno!!!"
"I know, I know, you cant take me anywhere!"
"Not going to either if you keep it up!" says Sassy, "um.. let me rephrase that."

A mysterious man clad in blue leather appears in Tou-Tou and saves the day... or does he? What is really going on? Is this just one big orgy that ends in tragedy?!

Asheron's Isle
July 23rd, 2003

The ground trembles, casting stones from cliff faces and snow showering from the highest peaks. The quake originates near the city of Eastham, but the shockwave can be felt as far away as Marae Lassel A piercing wail echoes across the ocean waters near Eastham, and a groundswell of Olthoi can be seen pouring over the Island to the east of the city.

Other Adventurer's Stories

Yen Mei's Battle
June 13th, 2003

Bat portals into the dungeon, covered in dust from another desecrated Menhir ring, and is recruited to the fellowship, shortly followed by Panzerfaust. "Is it just the four of us?" I ask, trying to keep my voice even, "it isn't that I doubt your abilities, guys, it is just that there are only four of us." Bat grins and starts dancing. That would be a 'yes'.

I am invincible!!
March 4th, 2003

The day started out fairly normal. I'm at the mansion to see what's going on. Thunderblade needs something imbued, so I do it after blowing two up... — Panzerfaust

Drive by Ni-ing
May 20th, 2003

On a fateful Tuesday, the 20th of May, a band of intrepid Ni-sayers once again set forth on the never-ending quest for a shrubbery. They were a small, but determined band of adventurers, and they would not be denied! — Awi'tch

Successful Brain Transplant between Laris and Noriko

Back at the mansion, with me as Kethrie and Laris logged on as Nori, I quickly snapped into the Nori mindset, by stripping her butt naked and making her dance.

Naked OP Hunting Screenshots

So, Laris, Mattius, and Noriko were the highest level members in the fellow, so Laris orders us to go naked, while the rest could wear armor.

At the End of the World

Noriko Takaya has been deleted.

Yep, thats right!! Deleted!!

Halloween retaliation against Faile!!!

On the night of Halloween one sad year, the mischievous Faile's Bandits raided our beloved Laris' mansion. "Trick or treat", they said! When no treat was given to them, they decided to pull a biggest trick on us all! Each of them producing dozens of rotten eggs, they proceeded to litter our mansion with them!
