A night on Kizmia Island
76 Summer 549 (26 March 2003)
- The last zordiacs were pretty busy as you saw in my last
updates. By now I am a bit resting, and there is time to tell about some
big journey I was happy to parcitipate. It was a summer day like everyone
else so far - I was getting some pertly sprigins near the tree giant
breeding grounds or had some fierce battles at lily pond. (By the way,
lots of thanks for the rescue *blush* 8)
 
Usual business first... |
- As it turned dark and night was still young I was contacted by
Talin if I wanted to join a night KI raid! Wooh! Believe it or not,
I never been inside KI before. But I had heard a lot of stories and hoped
to have an opportunity to go there myself soon. It was a very nice group
gathered by Jade and everything was very exiting! Of course I fell
within the first five seconds after entering that narrow gap which gives
access to the island. *chuckle*.
 
Welcome to Kizmia! |
- We had a bad start, but Natas had no trouble to clear the way
for us, so our group could recover safely. With some careful scouting and slow
progress we started to explore the island snell by snell without much
difficulty. Soon I also witnessed how useful the catsbane necklaces are -
Zhirem was almost infected with the lyfe disease. Yuk. Lets be thankful
for the modern medizine! 8)
On the other side for the first time! |
- Being the newbie on that trip I had to learn a lot - like
proper tactics about the hordes of lyfes and the optimal route to
all the important spots. I certainly liked to see Fat Alices hut from
the other side! Kinda weird to have crossed that boundry at last...
I knew already that you can only leave the island by boat which needs
to be built first. The required materials include two logs of wood and
a barrel of tar. So we went to some nasty smelling tar pit hidden beyond
two flashy statues, where we could fill our barrels. Next we had to find
our trees (a special one for each profession and species) in which hidden
tunnels brought us all to the northern part of the isle.
  
Display of art, lots of furs, and a whirlpool! |
Now there was the worst part. In order to proceed we all had to jump
into some ice cold pool of water. Yikes! That was not fun! I was whirled
around several times and became all soaked and miserable. It took me
days to get dry again. There seems to be a lot of bridge building on
that island - I propose to start one there!
Well, beyond the pool there was a scarmis hive which was nicely
protected. And when you take not great care then there is the danger to fall
down underground which might be unpleasant. I skipped that experience 8)
Yikes! There are scarmis there? |
- Soon we reached the northern shores, where we found a
blue thoom Wyeth who offered to build boats for us. Because we were
all well prepared we could leave KI shortly after. On leaving the first time
I was rewarded with a whole rank! (On top of the few others I made inside 8) Yay, and not to mention all the coins... thank you Miss Skea! And
of course big thanks to the group who took me with them - I will be ready
for a next time. 8)
 
Going home with another rank! Har! |
