Yesterday Salan and Taki were venturing in the northern lands of Thule to reach a cold place called Diabolan Valley. They heard that some intrepid avdenturers might find glory and wealth in such a land and that was a good reason for travelling so far... and they moved on.
After a long walk in the freezing rocky lands they finally arrived near the valley. But they didn't imagine what was lurking in the shadows. As they moved along to the north, a fierce beast attacked! They didn't know what it was but for its rage and fury they called it 'the berserker'... Taki jumped to protect Salan, as the beast had attacked her at first, and yelled at her to flee for her life! She could run away as Taki got two blows that almost shattered him to pieces. In a last moment of lucidity he recited a scroll of recall and magically reached safety. But Salan was still in the wild... in desperate conditions. Taki had one scroll left so he reached for it and as he was to utter the magic words he felt that Salan had succumbed to her unlucky fate. The beast's bloodthirst had led it to its wounded prey, and there Salan had but too little chances...

After that, [b:2endn7x9]Stryx[/b:2endn7x9] and [b:2endn7x9]Blaise[/b:2endn7x9] came to help rescue the corpse. (Hope i didn't misspell their names) - Blaise even killed the berserker and so Salan could get back all her equipment. A big thank goes to both these helpful players and to those who answered our distress call.
Notes:
- Taki is a 19 monk/thief, Salan 19 monk/cleric - both have very little knowledge of Sloth's world but are willing to (and are) learning.
- The berserker, and some other nasty spits of acid that helped killing Salan and almost Taki were not mentioned in the map... if they would have been, we'd probably have gone elsewhere... Are those some random roaming mobs? What level (and xp) is approx a berserker? What are those acid spits coming from nearby rooms?
