Leading by Example
by Mizu-No (1/25/00)

I agree Miko
After Reading the messages the consensus seem to be this

* Drop Mules From The Tree
* Do NOT reorganize The Source
* Put Restrictions on Incoming Members
* And Forget about the whole Vassal is higher than Patron thing. I remember a time when both me and leggs were Higher than Druss
* Put Rules in Place For Messaging the Monarch 1.) Don't do it

I never have a problem with People Messaging Me
I am Lucky every one beholden to me is a veteran player or likes to figure it out for them selves
A Side note:
* I have removed Doorman and Shandalar from the Source
* I have gained level 26
* I have fought and killed in single combat a Great Mattekar and taken his hide (MuttFyre is in line for this one)

 

 
The Story  

I run north to Arwic to pick up the new bow gryff has gotten for me. I run to the coast to give it a try.
I come around a corner on the beach and BAM Othoi IMPALES you for 35 and a give a free ticket to Ride at the Lifestone Water Slide
Hmmmmm. Back to action. Damn Attuned (like a dumbass) in yanhsi. My dogs are really barking now. Run back. body recovery.
Think to myself hmmmmm I Can take them!!. BRING IT!!
You impale Othoi for 38 (HOW DOES THAT FEEL!!! YOU LIKE IT!!!)
Othoi Worker Impales you for 42 (ok that hurt but im ok)
You Nick Othoi Worker for 15 (chip chip chip)
Othoi Worker Impales you for 56 (Ok Time To Cheat. Whip out Life Magic wand HEALHEALHEAL BACK TO ACTION)
Othoi SOLDIER Impales you For 56 (DAMN he brought friends)
(at this time Mizu-No realizes he brought a Knife to a gun fight and seeks creatures less attached to living)

Run North up the beach a piece and find a spawning point with a chest the breeds Shore Dillos. Hmmm some good anti viatiea machine.
In the course of the next several minutes Mizu-No kills everything that move and some of the things that don't
A person previously just off radar range comes running in and stands infront of Mizu and he thinks great I just ran into this guys hunt and yep sure enough the dude start to cuss our hero out put it is IN GERMAN. (and im all like Dude, and he was like Dude and I was Like DUDE! And hes like duuudddeeee)
Ok time to leave before and international incident occurs
I loot the bodies of 12 Shore dillos and come up with
* Ring Of Str III
* Ring of Coord III
* Ring of Regen III
* Braclet of Magic Resist III
* Necklace of Armor III
And so on and so on and so on Shore Dillos Poop magic items
Time to head out
I eventually make my way to Mayoi and start out by the Mage tower and go south

IN CHARATCER REPORT FOLLOWS

Mizu-No does not sleep well at night to many deeds trouble his soul. He decides on a WalkAbout to find himself and his purpose. He Journeys to the north perhaps Arwics beaches will sooth him . And it works....For Awhile. But then people are here and every time he sees them they start asking him to destroy them. They do this subtly by being discourteous and rude. He hates that. But he likes the beaches he has found many a shiney stone in the sand. So maybe a Trip in the South? He has always liked the warmer weather. So to Mayoui and its resort like feel. But again he sits and waits in quiet ambush on The Great Mattekar and a young mage comes wandering by and disturbs the beast and ruins the days hunt. Again too many people. So to the South even further past the mage tower and beyond. After several days travel he again spots the beasts and starts to slink in for the kill but he is tired and not at full fight capabilities and he remembers how incredibly strong the Beasts are so a rest is in order. BUT when he wakes up the beasts are gone!! Hmmm Again his hunt is disturbed. This is not as relaxing as he thought it would be. So onward perhaps a new beats to hunt? Again after many hunts and raids on everything from wasps to lugians he comes a cross an inlet where a river meets the ocean. He follows it up to the mountains and finds a City hidden in the Crags and Boulders. He asks people he meets about the City. It is Named KARA and is a quiet lonely place. Perhaps this would be a good place to rest. Prices are high but a wandering bowyer has set up camp right outside the city and sells Armor piercing arrows for only 650 a 100 not bad at all. Especially with the inflated economy and there is even a portal that when peered thru opens on familiar territory for Mizu-No. He recognizes a road he has walked on before near Shoushi. He wanders out to the Hunt and finds a LIFESTONE he prays he may never see it again as he binds his spirit to the magic rock. Onward to the west and the beachs. Damn a mountain stands in his way. Ahh a valley opens to his left. Onward. HALT. He hunkers down behind a tree. What is that sound? Ahh there they are Mossworts and a gathering of Shamans at that he counts 4 in all plus 2 Barkers. Hmmmm. The hunt begins. He Softly quietly strings his favorite Yumi. Leans out behind of the tree and Fires direct hit.. He ducks back behind the tree as he knows what is coming.. Mossworts are so predictable he thinks as he feels the tree Shudder under the impact of mighty war spells the smell of Burnt bark and ferns fills the air. All is quiet. They think they have driven me off. Stupid mossworts now they are out of spell power too. I attack in a few minutes all is quiet again but the echo of their screams lingers. They have many items I can sell in town for food and shelter and to replace the arrows that inevitably break. I turn to go back but a pebble rols down the mountain near me. There is no wind. Every sense alert I creep to see what is causing the disturbance. YIKES!! Ash Gromnies DAMN DAMN DAMN. I can still feel my muscle tearing themselves apart from the last time I was attacked by one of them. I think I should go now but as I turn to run it occurs to me that THIS is my problem I run from creatures that are not my equal because I am afraid. It is time to meet myself this walkabout ends here! NOW!! "BRING IT!!!" I scream The Sources Battle Cry as I charge there are 2 of them but my Bow Sings a lullaby of death to them and the first falls before he reaches me they other is close now his ozone laden breath hot on my skin I will NOT run this time I am MIZU-NO of The Source and this creature will not sway me. I fire and fire ahh the enemy is almost gone. I reach for one last arrow only to discover my quiver is empty!! NO TIME. Shield up Magic Neokode in hand drop the bow. Get it later if I live. Switch to hand to hand mode and BRING IT!!!!. I will not run not even to reload. This is the test. I skulk around the dires like a coward and it shames me NO MORE. I am a leader of men and women now. It comes down to this fight if I make it I will be justified in my belief that I am fit to lead. Should I fall then perhaps it is time I step down and let someelse have a chance. Ahhh VICTORY is Mine. The life seeps out of him and sit on the ground next to the fallen enemy and I am glad that it was me instead of him. I decide then and there that if I am to lead I should at the least be the best Leader I can be.

Mizu-No

New skill Leadership Rating 71

I will tell the tale of the Great Matty a little later TO work!!!!
