... continued from Adventures of a noob - levels 5 to 8
=======
Level 9
=======
I have come back to Strongwind.
Apparently you can have professions and, looking at them, I think Mage is the best. Imagine me doing magic and stuff!
I asked some people to tell me where the Mage trainer was and they kindly told me the way.
After climbing a funny tower (I fell off again, doesn't anybody know that spiral ramps without hand rails are dangerous?),
I found several trainers in the same room.
For the next hour I have tried to get any of them to teach me how to be a Mage, but I don't see to be able to convince them.
Dissapointed, I gave up and wandered again on the streets.
========
Level 10
========
Today I tried my hand at a new experience: the Battleground. With my obvious talents and armour it'll be like a walk in the park.
I went to the Strongwind Keep to talk to the battlemaster for Wallsome Gunch, as it is called.
When I first entered the battleground I was a bit confused, as many people started to yell at me to leave it. I don't see why I should. So the first thing I did was to walk around and explore the place. There's a blue flag where I started, but as I walked out of the building I saw some people I knew: the ones who keep saying "kek" at me. But these ones did not seem so nice: They killed me without stopping, so I ended up in our graveyard. As I came back to life, I jumped down with the rest of my team, but I died from the fall
Now I have to go the long way round.
Eventually I followed a nice rogue in my team. He had goggles and glowing weapons, so I think he may have been good. However, he was quite slow (and transparent, for some reason), so I kept next to him to protect him. He didn't seem very happy about it though, and he kept whispering to me to go away. But my duty as a strong warrior is to make myself useful.
After a while, we managed to get to the other team's area, where there was a red flag.
Wait, I know this: You have to hold it and you win ! I ran ahead and grabbed it.
The rogue didn't seem happy again. He told me to drop the flag, but I don't see how a weak character should hold it.
Eventually he said, "come on, let's go". "Eh? where?", I said. "Just bl**dy follow me!" he yells. Oh, well. Better keep him happy.
We started down a long tunnel, and were immediately attacked by some of the other team. "Help me", the rogue said. "But I can't", I said, "I'm holding the flag, see ?".
Eventually we both died. The rest of the game went pretty much similar, although the rogue left the battleground after he saw me coming again with him (some people are just quitters, aren't they?).
We lost 3-0. And all I got was a mark that you can't sell anyway :-( I just got rid of it. I don't think I'll be doing this BG malarky again, thank you very much !
