Mapping the Passes
Posted on June 9, 2001 in UncategorizedDay 96, Year 542 of the Ascendancy
Today I got to do a little more exploring in the Devilish Passes of
Devil’s Isle. However, since I couldn’t seem to get a party together, I
decided to explore the Passes with no healers. Instead, I called upon
the aid of my clan mate and good friend Drue’Dreemi, and together we
explored the Devilish Passes, armed with only a red healing potion. We
almost died at the entrance snell of the Passes, and Drue’Dreemi did
actually fall, but he was saved via the afore-mentioned potion.
Together, injured and bleeding, we fled to the north. There, we healed
up, and slowly explored the Devilish Passes, while I sketched out a
rough map of the place. We almost died several times, and we had to set
up Kudzu walls to heal up, but we managed to survive.
After some more exploring, we decided to get more
help. Drue and I had discovered a suspicious looking pool of lava
during our explorations, and we decided we needed a healer to explore
it further. This would lead to our eventual demise.
The brave souls that decided to join our party
were Alknelt, Quinix, and Lark. We met them at the entrance to the
McBolie Caverns, and together we made our way to the Devilish Passes.
We eventually made it to the pool of lava, and everyone agreed that it
looked suspicious. There was a dark spot under the rocks on the other
side of the lava, that could possibly lead to a cave of some sort. So,
we all said our prayers, and bid each other good luck, and made a run
for it. Drue was the first one to make it, and comfirmed that there was
indeed some sort of cave there. Drue’Dreemi fell to a Bolok, and Lark
followed. The rest of us attempted to as well, but we were felled by
the hot lava.
Lark and Drue’Dreemi fought valiantly in the cave
on the other side of the lava, but were eventually felled. The whole
party ended up departing. I later reviewed the Vision Stones that Lark
and Drue’Dreemi were able to make of the cave, and found that it led to
what I like to call the “Upside Down ‘T’ Cave”, which can be reached
through one of the Dark Caverns on snell D2 of Devil’s Isle. Anyway, we
all had to depart, but it sure was fun trying to run across molten
lava. My map of the Passes is really coming along, and I should have a
copy of it posted sometime this month, so stay tuned.
