On to marleybone!

Hey

So today i finished the vigrid roughlands in grizzleheim and i went to try the next area. turns out i cant until i am level 30. im level 28. so, i went to marleybone and accepted a few quests.

marleybone is a very interesting world.

it looks alot like the parts of london where my cousins live, except for the whole airship and rooftop thing going on. the buildings are accurate, and i enjoyed playing in hyde park and looking for stray cats.

i accepted a quest which had me looking for baxter, some sort of cat thing who has info on the o'learys, a mob of rodents and felines.

one thing about marleybone: how all the dogs have really strong british accents and the cats sound like my grandfather(who grew up in chicago in the 20s and 30s).

my grandpa has an accent which sounds like mobsters on all the 1960's movies about them. he also sounds exactly like the cat thugs.

my cousin(who lives in london) sounds exactly like felicia(the craft lady)

so congrats kingsisle on making the people sound realistic!

The First...

Yup.

The first. Of a blog. About the spiral. About a wizard.

A Necromancer to be exact. Named Corwin Shadowmancer. That's me.

I've been playing Wizard 101 for about 2 weeks now, and i reached level 25 today. I've been meaning to start a blog documenting my adventures for some time, but i never had the time. Which is funny, cuz i have a lot of time on my hands nowadays.

Well, anyway, today i was questing in Krokotopia, and i got this quest to defeat some champion of the arena. After fighting a ton of hall servants, blue manders(salamander-like people), i thought i had it easy, but alas, i had to go and fight three bosses again. after doing that, i fought a different boss, and talked to Shalek the Wise, expecting the "great" champion to be a piece of cake. I thought i was going to be fighting insignificant monsters for ever.

Boy was i wrong.

The great champion was (at least for my level), truly great. My deck was not prepared for a monster with 2000 health(800 more than me), + 2 other monsters of 300-something health each. I made the mistake of going for the smaller fish first. While Grummish Greataxe(the boss), did 500 damage a hit, i was concentrating my attacks on the two sokkwis(crocodile-like people).

I went down within the first 6 turns.

I went back to the oasis, healed, and decided to try again.

8 turns this time.

So, i decided to call on a friend. I am a soloist by nature, but this was too much. When my friend, Jacob Deathhammer came, we took those monsters down like nobody's business, and when i finished the quest, i was level 25! Halfway to the top(lvl 50(at least until the level cap is raised with Celestia))!

So, i decided now was a good time to start a blog. I had signed up for blogspot a while back, and so i clicked create blog. And then i started typing(as soon as i chose a template and all that).

So, this was the first post.

I hope anyone who reads this enjoys it, and clicks follow.

Later,

Corwin
