Well my fellow adventurers, Recently, I had the random urge to go and get
me a Fire Axe. After asking around, I discovered that it could be found on
an island south of Haven. This island is called Rimaga. Being the
prepared explorer that I am, I made sure to bring some Vials of Antidote,
made for me by my friend Jangles, the White Cleric. Then I set off.
I arrived at the Island in not too long, and entered my dinghy and rowed
ashore. A walked for a very short distance, and came to a blank wall.
The path I was following seemed to continue right on through the wall, and
the wall was connected to shear cliffs on either side, eliminating the
possibility of going around. I was stumped, but I knew I had to get past
this wall
On the wall there were many pictures, along with being overgrown with moss.
The pictures didn't help me very much, but after searching around, I
discovered the moss could be moved, reveiling a hidden button, which I
pushed. With the button pushed, the wall disappeared, and I walked
through.
I continued on down the path, and saw the ugliest half-orc children you've
ever seen. 4 of them, all standing around. Naturally, I killed them, and
without any trouble I might add. As I continued down the path, I came
across a small hut. Inside this hut was a half-orc mage. I decided to not
take any chances and kill him quickly, so I charged him. My charge severed
his arm, and as he died, he cast a final spell at me which drained my mp to
-200.
Then the path split off, and I took the southwestern path, leading me to
another hut. It had a half-orc family in it, and I killed them all.
Fairly uneventful there. Then I came accross a cave. I went in and was
attacked by 4 cave snakes. After killing them I noticed I'd been poisoned
in the battle, so I quaffed one of my antidote vials, and continued down
--More-- (27%) [hit <enter> or <space> to continue or <q> to quit]
the cave, where I found countless more snakes. I wasn't sure how long my
antidote vials would last at this rate, so I decided to make a mental note
to come back to this cave later, and left it.
Near the southern end of the island was a half-orc Apothacary. As I killed

him, his last dying wish was to see me poisoned, so he splashed me with
some unknown liquid. I just quaffed another of my antidote vials and
continued on my way.
Looking back over what I have written so far, I realize I left out one very
important detail. This entire islands inhabitants are cannibals. The next
hut I came to was a cannibal doctor, along with his assistants. They
seemed to be dismembering an already dead corpse. After disposing of them,
I left and continued on to a small shop, where they sell monkey brains, and
things of that sort. After killing the shopkeeper, I continued on my
exploration.
I also found what appeared to be a "Fierce Warriors" hut. This Fierce
Warrior is named Vityr, more about him later, as he seemed to not be home
at the time.
In other areas in the island I found randomly assorted huts, filled with
unimportant monsters, such as monkeys, squirrels and the like.
At the very south end of the island I found a cliff, leading down to a
--More-- (77%) [hit <enter> or <space> to continue or <q> to quit]
beach. I climbed down safely, but I discovered at the bottom of the cliff
are very jagged, dangerous rocks. I walked along the beach and found a
beached whale. As I climbed back up the cliff, a gust of wind blew me off,
and I landed on the rocks. This hurt a lot, (about 600hp), so I healed and
tried again, and again was blown off. The third time I made it up safely.
Travelling northwest from the cliff, I found a half-orc Necromancer.
During the fight, he cast a spell of poison on me. After I killed him, I
--More-- (54%) [hit <enter> or <space> to continue or <q> to quit]
quaffed an antidote, and realized I was still poisoned. So I quaffed all
of the remaining 5 vials of antidote, and was still poisoned. So
unfortunatly, I had to sail all the way back to Haven, where my friend
Jangles was waiting for me with Purify.
This is the End of Part 1.

I again sailed to Rimaga, and this time was set on finding my Fire Axe. So
I landed on the island, moved the moss, pushed the button, and set off.
I took a different direction this time, and came accross a bonfire. Around
this bonfire were 5 cannibals, each armed with Crude Wooden Staves, and a
half-orc named Fire Guardian. I wasn't sure if the 5 cannibals would join
in the battle against the Fire Guardian if I attacked him, so I killed the
5 cannibals first, which all died without much problem.
As I examined the Fire Guardian, I saw he was wielding the Fire Axe! I did
a quick measure of his strength, and saw he was quite a strong warrior (at
level 40, he conned Pretty Even, if my memory serves me correctly). So I
attacked him. It took a long while, but eventually I managed to kill him.
I thought the Fire Axe was mine, but then a monster named the Fire Goddess
suddenly appeared. She took the Fire Axe from the dead corpse and attacked
me. Since I was quite unprepared for this suprise, I ran from the room,
where, to my even greater surprise, she followed. I saw that she was a
--More-- (40%) [hit <enter> or <space> to continue or <q> to quit]
greater fighter than I was, and was prepared for my death, as I cannot run
from her. That was when she used a spell called Flamestrike, which knocked
me out of the room, where she didn't follow. I thanked my Gods and ran
away from her. She had beaten me fairly, and I didn't attack again.
But naturally, I was quite angry at not getting what I came here for. So I
went through the island in anger, and destroyed every single hut on the
--More-- (81%) [hit <enter> or <space> to continue or <q> to quit]
island, saving the hut of the "Fierce Warrior" Vityr for last. At every
single hut I destroyed, 3 half-orc cannibals came out and attacked me, but
they were disposed of rather easily. When I destroyed Vityr's hut he came
out and offered me a challenge. He taunted me, and said he had never had
anyone accept his challenge. He was equiped with a half-orc blade, and a
tri-prong, both of which I knew to be very strong weapons. Now if I had
been thinking, I would have walked away, as this warrior looked to be quite
a bit stronger than I. But in anger, I charged toward him.
He easily evaded my charge, and warshouted that I should "Prepare myself
for death!" I was stunned from his powerful shout, and he simply took me
apart. In 5 rounds he took me from 1350hp to -250hp, where I died a
painful death.

After my death, I was given my life back by Hades, and returned to the
island, got my equipment, and left in defeat.
It wasn't until I was on the boat back to Haven, that I realized that I
never did explore that cave....
