Okay, so I was in fairly early this month. Ack…I can’t seem to figure out this time to time conversion. For some reason Iron Realms has us assume that one month is one 24-hour day. But for some odd reason, the “new-month” day shifts from one hour to the next. Using their conversion in the help scrolls I have calculated one Achaean month to be 1.2 days, but for some reason the math is off or I don’t take something into account.

So, anyway, early this month (I think), I was in the Realm butterflying and ratting to try to make money because my health vials had run dry. I learned last month that Mhaldor consists of a city AND an island. I can’t go to the city, but I can go to the island, which I did and found this wierd creature called a Lycopod. A probe of it showed that it is a huge carnivorous plant that can attack you, knock you off your feet and web you. I’m going to have to create a reflex for it.

On the way back was a small path to the Dakhota Hills, where I discovered a quest involving Flemming, the Ka’ah Botanist. That’s all I’ll say for that.

Doing a vanity search on myself showed that this blog has not been spidered yet, but my name HAS showed on a listing on the Achaea forums! Click Here to see. Of course, this was just a QW (quick-who) in a log, and nothing more.

Okay…from here out I probably should journal in first person, rather than third as I have been doing.

So, last month, I was hanging out in Dun Valley. Of course, there, there are creatures that will attack because they are hungry. I have found that some places just leave you alone, while others attack for no reason, and still others attack if you stay too long.

Dun Valley is one place that for the most part leaves you alone, except for the occasional mountain lion or jaguar. These cats will attack because they are hungry. Alas, against a house recommendation I got to daydreaming (I left the MUD open without actually playing), and a mountain lion got me before I had time to get back to it. I mean, these things hit fairly hard, so it made quick work of me. This keeps happening to me. I’ll start attacking something and then I get sidetracked out-of-character and the animal finishes me off.

The only creatures that will eventually leave are rats. If you are strong enough, you can attack any rat and then sit there and it will eventually leave. Everything else, however, will keep attacking to the death.

I have this feeling that my fellow druids are getting pretty fed up with me always dying (at LEAST once a month). Fortunately I think I’ve gotten a system down. The idea is that if you write in a journal or in the news, thus starting the text editor, you technically enter another plane where nothing can bother you. Unfortunately you must have full mana and health to write anything.

So my idea is to create a sort of reflex that will restore health to 100%, meditate to 100% (or sip mana), and then enter the journal as a sort of “pause.” Of course, that will assume that something will not come along right then and attack me, which would throw off my 100% health. Iron Realms does not like auto-playing. In fact it’s a BIG violation, so I don’t know how far I can go (such as “sip health” whenever HP falls under 100%).

That’s all for now. I hope to be able to do this rather frequently.

Monday June 2, 2008 – About Sama

Posted on June 2, 2008September 5, 2019 by samakhulis

Samakhulis of the Druids started out like any other adventurer. She passed through the flame. Of course, everyone knows that…everyone has to do this in order to enter Sapience. During her Trial of Rebirth, Sama chose to become a Druid and to join the city of Eleusis.

Being fairly familiar with the aspects of Achaea, she immediately traversed to New Thera where she began initial learning from Tyrandiel, the Wise. From here she travelled to Minia, where her training began. Hunting the evil there (in order to gain a Sepharic alignment of course), she was soon promoted to the 21st Circle. From here she was permanently banned from the Newbie areas and had nowhere to go, and nothing to do except hunt. Of course, her skills in the Druid Class were slowly being increased, but the potential was yet to be unlocked, as she did not know why she had them.

Deciding that the best option would be to join the Druid House, she did so. Upon induction, she was immediately greeted by Nixxe, a senior Druidess and leader of the newcomers of the Druid House. As with any house, there was required reading, which was immediately set to work.

A few days into her reading, she received a personal invitation by Druidess Aohara, a Rajamala, aide to Nixxe, to receive initial learning. Upon reaching the grove (the home) of Aohara, it was discovered that Sama had already used all initial lessons in learning much of what was required.

In short, Sama learned all the required abilities, and completed the required assignments and was shortly (to the chagrine of Nixxe, who didn’t like newcomers to rush) named Apprentice Druidess Samakhulis, Gatherer of Mistletoe. From here she joined the Green Thumb Institute, a required training clan of all members, and began her learning of the love of Nature and knowledge of how to protect Her (nature).

Here, experiences will be written in first person, just like the actual experience in-game.

Welcome (First Post)

Welcome to this edition of Blogspot. Here I’m hoping to create a decent blog based off of the MUD Internet game Achaea, primarily the character Samakhulis of the Druids.

So…the deal is that I can’t stand surfing and finding AngelFire and Yahoo Achaea sites with all of their advertising and bragging, such as “My name is Smiktethor and I have (somehow) transed in all of the skills and have 5000000 credits to my name and I’m the strongest ever, even though I can’t prove it and blah, blah, blah….” Also, I’m tired of searching for help on certain aspects of the game and finding someone’s forum thread that gives some big log on the fight they had last month (yesterday).

I hope to accomplish a little more than the above, such as giving a detailed history/personal log without all of the extra junk.
