Again, with the same motif as the last room; all dirt walls with fire
braziers on the wall at regular intervals, Trinity and I walked into the
next room.
Another one of those monster portals was located at the far end of the large rectangular shaped room. I started running toward it as the monsters began to appear. Before I started fighting the monsters, I notice a strange carving on the wall; it looked as if it could have been a door.
WHACK! I got hit with a Goblin's club. I retaliated with my staff and hit it in the middle of the head. It winced as it fell backward. I jumped back a few feet and yelled "VAK KRUZ". As before, the fireballs surrounded the goblin and in one instant, came together on the goblin. The goblin fell back, faded, and a treasure chest took its place.
"Very good," Trinity said, sounding impressed. "I think you are getting the hang of this. Pretty soon you will be as good as me." She said the 'me' with a certain hint of confidence.
"You really think so?" I asked in amazement. Trini . . .I mean Chloe never compliments people.
"Yup," she replied encouragingly.
All of a sudden, I hear a sound, like the cave is going to fall and I look to the other side of the room, where I saw the carving, and it instantly opened, revealing a doorway.
"What is up with that, Trinity?" I asked.
"Ok, in almost every room in the dungeon there is at least one magic portal. You must clear all the magic portals in the room before you can move onto the next. It isn't that tricky."
"I get it," I mumbled to myself. "Well, onto the next room?"
"I don't see why not," she said, and we walked through the doorway.
This next room had a set of stairs going deeper into the dungeon on the far side. This room was squarer than the previous one.
"As you go down deeper into the dungeon, the monsters get harder. I will help you from now on," Trinity said.
We went down the stairs and came to a room that really didn't have much to say. It was just a pathway to a door. Trinity and I went through the door to come to a rather large, 'plus shaped' room, with doors on each end.
"Which way do you want to go?" asked Trinity.
"Umm. . ." I said to myself as I thought about it. "Lets go straight," I said spontaneously. We, Trinity and I, started ran to the doorway on the far side.
This room was a large square with a magic portal right square in the center. The portal flashed and the monsters were released.
This time it was a goblin and a triad of floating weapons.
"You go after the Goblin and I will handle the Dark Blades," Trinity shouted.
I silently agreed. I started running toward the goblin with my staff ready to strike, but it dodged my strike. I managed to nip it with my staff as I pulled it out of the ground. It jumped, as if to strike me, but all of a sudden I heard "VAK DON" from across the room and a large stone appeared above the goblin and fell directly upon it and killed it. The goblin left no treasure.
"You ok?" I heard. It was a rather high-pitched male voice. I looked over and noticed it to be a twin blade. "Lucky I came along, or you would have been toast," he said rather egotistically.
"I'm fine," I replied. "REPTH," I yelled, and I was healed.
"That was a waste" the high-pitched man. He dashed forward, and struck my throat with one of his blades, and I blacked out.
"WHAT WAS THAT!?" I screamed as I came to, in the real world. I should probably log back on and see if Chloe is ok.
I turned my focus back to the computer screen and went to log on again. I clicked the login button . . .
I am back in the watery city of Mac Anu. I look around for a while to see if Chloe is nearby, to no prevail. I walk over to the wall and lean against it to ponder.
What was that that killed me? This always happens to me. I don't think I should play this game any more.
I reached into my item pouch and noticed that a lot of my stuff was gone. Everything I obtained in the dungeon was like it had never been there.
Just then, Chloe came through the Chaos Gate and looked around for a while.
"Over here!" I yelled. She looked my way and ran over to me. "What was that?"
"That is your everyday PKer," she said, sounding kind of annoyed.
"PKer?" I said sounding confused.
"Player killer," she elaborated. "A player killer is someone who has no life within the world, so they go about killing other players, and taking their stuff. It brings them excitement, or so they say"
"Is there any way of avoiding them?" I asked, hopefully
"Nope"
"Isn't there rules against it?"
"Not really, no one enforces them"
"That's not right! If they have the guts to put rules upon us, they should also have the guts to enforce them."
"PKers aren't the easiest people to track down, you know!" Trinity explained. It is getting pretty late, I think I am going to log out for the night."
"I am going to stay and explore for a while, talk to people, maybe make some new friends." I replied.
Trinity walked over to the Chaos Gate and logged out.
I sat there for a while and thought about things. About how player killers can even be legal in The World. If they have rules, shouldn't they be enforced? I know! I will post a topic on the BBS. That is a sure way to get me something.
I walked over to the Chaos Gate and logged out . . .
I clicked the button, from the login screen, that took me to the BBS Message Boards. And started typing
SUBJ: PKers and The World
Hey everyone. I am brand new to The World; in fact I just
started today. There is something that bugs me though. While I
was being escorted around a dungeon today, someone saved me, but
that someone turned around and killed me. I had gotten a lot of
valuable items, and I lost them all. I never did find out who
this person was. If there rules against PKing than why aren't
they enforced? This really ticks me off, and if anyone has any
information than please let me know.
Thanks
I shut down my computer after clicking post, and turned my light off for a good nights sleep.
