[edit] Day 61
Huh. Found a new bit of a new recipe. Interesting intro. I've written it here:
This pasted bit of papyrus is too heavily burned to decipher.
Other than that, not much notable stuff today. Also, I'm in the floating islands place again. Maybe I should go about finding out what this place is called, at least.
[edit] Day 62
Found an interesting bit of parchment today. It looks to be a piece of a autobiography or something, written by some fellow named Haldos. Wonder if there might be other parts to it? It looks like the complete collection might be an interesting read.
Other than that, not much happening right now. Maybe later today I can find something neat.
[edit] Day 63
Today started out even slower than usual. Found nothing of importance, and spent most of the day fixing up my rifle. Found a lot of graffiti about "infusing" and "counter-infusing" and how these things were bad. Weird... maybe some kind of magical gang warfare thing?
[edit] Day 64
It's kind of amazing how much dying becomes part of your daily life in this place. I don't even know the majority of these people, and they just stomp and slash me like nobody's business. Ah well, s'why I started making armor. Speaking of which, tuned up my current armor after a rather nasty arrow impact. You wouldn't think those things could hit with such strength, but there you go.
[edit] Day 65
Wow, my armor's been really torn up and I hadn't even noticed. I decided to spend my morning fixing it up all the way. I got pretty far, it's still a bit lackluster. In other news, I've seen a lot of graffiti that contains aphorisms about that Firdauth guy. Why is it I've seen all this graffiti about him and his great words and deeds, but I've not once actually seen a record about what he's done? Maybe it's just an elaborate story. If so, it's a pretty poor one. I should see if I can't put up some aphorisms about someone.
[edit] Day 66
Slow day again. Repaired my rifle and tuned up my armor. I'd write more here, but I'm feeling decidedly uninventive. Ah well.
And more aphorisms by Firdauth. Really starting to get on my nerves.
[edit] Day 67
Went spell-scrounging today. Didn't turn up much, except for some spells that seemed to be wards. From what I can tell, these are meant to block off an area for people of a certain moral outlook. I don't particularly find that to be very friendly, and as I have no ill will against the majority of the denizens of the Nexus, I shall refrain from using this particular breed of spells. Also, found one called Tiger Claw, but as I don't fight with my fists, that hardly seems useful to me. Maybe I should find a group that is capable of trading spells with me so I can get the sorts of spells I want, while other people benefit from my searching.
[edit] Day 68
Man, some of these spells have weird names. The Thousand Razors? Fist of Burning Rage? I wasn't aware spellcraft and cheesy anime were so closely intertwined. Other than that, not much happening today. I should really get out and start doing stuff more. Like, say, making armor for the weak or laying the thunderous smack-down on some demons.
[edit] Day 69
Stop sniggering.
Today was rather plain. Just fixed up my armor. I'm stil kind of groggy, so maybe I'll have more info later today after I find a toaster and some bread in this factory.
[edit] Day 70
Interesting, no death today. I went back to the Wrench again, fixed up my rifle, and sat down in a big nest of Angels. I figure I'm probably safe here, until such time as I can get some spells. Say, that gives me an idea. Maybe I could bargain with these angels for magic? Hmmm... if I had a beard, I would be stroking it right now.
Rather than bargaining, I decided to get to the old stand-bys today: making armor and studying. Today was particularly fruitful: I made a decent fireproof jacket and I think I've got two new spells down in my mind: Reveal and Open Lock. I should test these out tomorrow.
[edit] Day 71
Didn't have much opportunity to test out Open Lock, but I did try out Reveal. It was so cool. I could see every single nook and cranny of the entire building I was in at once. Nobody is gonna sneak up on me ever again!
Also, floating place again.
I was greeted by a warrior later today. Definitely strong, but not much magical ability, from what I could discern. They claimed they were evil, but they actually gave me a potion and a greeting rather than killing me. Hm... interesting, that those who claim to be evil would be so hospitable. The potion, interestingly enough, turns out to grant a form of levitation. That's too cool to not try.
Also, I got a request to join another faction (coupled with some blows by a sword made of lightning, but I digress). It's called the Soldiers of Duat. They appear to be a faction aimed at the proliferation of the dead (not sure if proliferation's the right word, but eh) in the name of the Egyptian god Osiris. The main thing prohibiting me from joining them in good conscience is not that they're evil, but rather that I can't actively help them achieve their goal. I've got three goals of my own: defend myself, help the weak, and learn more about magic. None of these really relate to the bringing of death, and one of them very much conflicts with it. Still... maybe I can offer them armor for their newer soldiers in exchange for spells?
[edit] Day 72
Found a library in this place of floating islands. It's not exactly a normal library though... the books all seem to deal with demonic subjects. I found another piece of that Haldos' writings, but it seems disconnected from the previous piece. I stashed it into my toolbag for now.
[edit] Day 73
Interesting morning today. First, I found a powerful spell called Kiss of the Clouds. It's too complicated to just sit down and read, though, so maybe I can trade it for something I can use. Also, made some deals with another person. I offered to get them some armor, but they already had some decent armor. They did give me another potion of cold resistance, however.
Another bit of a potion recipe. I've listed it here...
This page seems to have been ripped out completely. Eerie, to say the least.
[edit] Day 74
Got another faction invite from... well, I'm not even entirely sure. They claim to be awesome, and speak in ALL-CAPS. I'd like to know just what the devil the faction I join actually does before I go ahead and sign up. As far as I can tell, they go after all sorts of people.
I saw someone standing outside of a building near where I respawned. I figured I could help them, so I gave them my extra fireproof jacket. Afterwise, I went into the nearby gun store and fixed up my backup pistol. Nothing much else to say for right now.
[edit] Day 76
Hmmm... the whole death place (state of mind?) is really quite relaxing. If it weren't for the fact that getting there is always rather painful, I'd recommend it as a vacation spot.
Anyway, just looking for reading material today. Not much beside that to say.
[edit] Day 78
I don't know why, but I'm finding myself less and less willing to return to the Nexus each time I die. It's not that it's tougher, it's more that I'm not willing to expend the energy to do so.
Repaired my two parts of my armor today. Nothing else really worth noting.
