It has become as popular<br \/>\nas the Snaggle Wood once was, before the chests that the orga carried<br \/>\nwere toned down. Now, exiles go to the Dal&#8217;Noth Isle for the rich<br \/>\nbounties of the &#8216;Noths, and the plentiful experience provided by the<br \/>\nmany monsters. As a Journeyman Mystic skilled in the arts of portal<br \/>\nopening, I am often called forth to let exiles into the rich hunting<br \/>\ngrounds of Dal&#8217;Noth Isle. Today, I was called to do just that. It was<br \/>\nquite early in the morning when Natas sunstoned me, asking me to come<br \/>\nto Dal&#8217;Noth Isle. I was still groggy, and my body still ached from the<br \/>\ncountless hunts I&#8217;d been on in the past week, but I agreed to go<br \/>\nanyway. I reluctantly trudged to the docks, and rented one of the<br \/>\nrowboats from Captain Barnac.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>When I reached Dal&#8217;Noth Isle, I was rather<br \/>\nsurprised to see a small party; only seven members, including myself.<br \/>\nHowever, my surprise soon faded when I saw the party in action. The<br \/>\nparty quickly cleared out the beaches and the passes, and made it&#8217;s way<br \/>\nto the Dal&#8217;Noth Town. Even the Town provided little challenge, and we<br \/>\nheaded to the northern parts of the isle, then headed west. We even<br \/>\nexplored the territory where just days before, the enigmatic Tuz&#8217;Noths<br \/>\nhad been spotted, but fortunately, we did not see any ourselves. We<br \/>\nthen cleared out the Dal&#8217;Noth Outpost, then returned to the surface and<br \/>\ncleared out the Dal&#8217;Noth Isle once over again.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><font><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/dalhunt.gif\" alt=\"Hunting on Dal'Noth\" width=\"274\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>The sun was just beginning to rise over the<br \/>\nhorrizon now. We made our way to the beach, and bid farewell to<br \/>\nRent-A-Hippie, who retired herself for the day. We were now down to a<br \/>\nparty of six. We continued to hunt the Dal&#8217;Noth Isle, but this time<br \/>\nwith more caution. With so few hunters, the profits were even greater<br \/>\nthen before, for there were less people to spilt the money with, from<br \/>\nthe bounties. We were doing quite well, dispatching any &#8216;Noths that<br \/>\nstood in our way, and it seemed like I was going to chalk one up as<br \/>\nanother successful Dal&#8217;Noth hunt. However, when we entered the lake<br \/>\narea, disaster struck. We were fighting two Zol&#8217;Noths, and doing quite<br \/>\nnicely, when four more Zol&#8217;Noths appeared out of nowhere, and joined in<br \/>\non the fun. I was down on the ground in no time, and I was but the<br \/>\nfirst to fall.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><font><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/fallenbylake.gif\" alt=\"Fallen by the Lake\" width=\"186\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Several Vel&#8217;Noths soon appeared, drawn to us by<br \/>\nthe comotion, and soon, more than half of us lay fallen at their feet.<br \/>\nThe few that did manage to escape soon fell as well, and things looked<br \/>\npretty bleak. Several rescue parties were assembled, but they were all<br \/>\ndisseminated before they even reached us. Soon, all of the healers in<br \/>\nthe lands lay fallen on Dal&#8217;Noth Isle, and I was forced to depart. Many<br \/>\nof the exiles fallen on Dal&#8217;Noth Isle departed as well, and went back<br \/>\nto rescue the many fallen exiles still fallen on the cursed isle. As<br \/>\nfor myself, I turned over the portal openning job to my fellow<br \/>\nJourneyman, Valtrim, and headed back to the Academy to catch some &#8216;z&#8217;s.<br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Day 140, Year 538 of the Ascendancy Hunting on Dal&#8217;Noth Isle has become one of the most favorite pastimes of exiles, as of late.
