《Gaming on a MUD is difficult.》CH.3 Goblin Stronghold
Advertisement
The goblin stronghold started one room north of the west road. Two goblin gate guards were in the first room and they auto attacked. Unlike rats, these goblins had gear equipped. They wielded some goblin pikes and wore some goblin boots.
I was expecting my new longsword that light had bought from the weapons store for me to clean these guys up with my 18 strength but it didn’t go that way.

I made a quick escape back to the south. Apparently, I was not getting hit by the goblin likely because of my new leather armor and high dexterity. However, instead of me killing the goblin my attacks were doing 0 damage to the goblin and 1 damage to me. Something was not working right. Taking a moment to collect thoughts it became obvious what the problem was. Light’s advice should have been followed. Light said to go and train with a trainer in shadow with the sword.
Isaiah’s player felt bad. She gave him some good advice and took some time to set him on the right path and he just decided to do his own thing. Well, it was time to fix this right now. Isaiah made his way back to shadow and started going up and down streets. He found a church, a weapon’s shop, a library, a bank, a general store, a healer, and finally a trainer.
The trainer’s name was Masjock and he was a burly man. Looking him over his description ended with a highlighted ‘attack Masjock with the weapon you want to train in’.
You slash Masjock in the right arm.

This went on for a while. Not wanting to test if masjock would kill those who came to him for training, the elf left for the next room. It was at this point that having healing spells would have been nice. A wave of regret passed over Isaiah’s player for having given up the priest class. It was not enough to force him to suicide and try to re-create as a fighter/magic/cleric though. Trying to level 3 classes at once just seems like too painful of a grind. However, there was a ‘heal’ command. It was not great, only healing one to four hit points and froze the character in place for a few seconds. Also, it seemed to fail as much as it succeeded. After a couple minutes of mashing ‘heal isaiah’ he was back to full health. Using the command ‘profs’ to check his weapon proficiencies it showed he was at 15%. This was very time consuming. After some painful grinding he got longsword to 100%. However, there was another thing that popped up in the ‘profs’ command.
Your parents taught you in spears and you feel most comfortable with that weapon.
What did that mean? Isaiah decided to try out the gamewide OOC (out of character) line and ask.
Isaiah (OOC): What does it mean your parents taught you spears in your weapon profs?
Someone (OOC): It means you can get spears to 120% in that weapon.
Isaiah (OOC): Are spears good?
Someone (OOC): You’ll just have to find out.
Well that was a bit frustrating. Who is someone? Have to ask Light when I talk to her next. Next up goblin stronghold round two.

The goblin gate guards were not too difficult with a proper weapon. They did a little damage but died. This time Isaiah remembered to bury the corpses before moving it. It gave him a few HP so he didn’t have to go back to using that heal command. Things were going well and in continued into the innermost part of the goblin stronghold.
Goblin King is here.
3 goblin royal guards are here.

Iron and Wood - A Tale Of Empire and Clans
For centuries, the Midlands had been split into fragments. A once glorious, united Empire has become a shadow of its former self. Unity has not returned, and not for the lack of trying. The greatest of these successor states were the Li Dynasty to the south, the rulers of old, and the Emerald Empire to the North, with its vibrant vitality. Unity is the end goal, and both will sacrifice anything to attain this elusive dream. For unity would surely solve the conflict that had long plagued this once prosperous continent. The Ironwood Clan was a prime player. Some would consider them the ones holding the reigns to the horse named 'Unification'. Iron and wood were the backbones of civilization; similarly, the Ironwoods were the backbones of the Northern Empire, and by extension, the people of the Midlands. Their methods, as questionable as they might be, had strengthened the North. Yet, were they enough? In the midst of it all, a young Ironwood who had lost his path must once again find his way. For the sake of his own wellbeing; for the sake of his clan; and for the sake of the Empire and its subjects. However, is he willing to sacrifice for the good of all? Is he willing to condemn some for the sake of others? Is he willing to make the right, albeit harsh, decisions? Only the heavens would know. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, events and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. Additionally, any views and beliefs expressed by the characters are not the author's own. The story is also not an endorsement of any actions taken within. The 'profanity' and 'sexual content' warning tags are there to be safe (and to leave room for potential future changes), but for now these two things are not inside this novel. This is my take on 'cultivation', though it might be somewhat disconnected from the general idea of the genre. Release schedule: Two chapters a week. The cover was created using wombo art. While I believe that creations using the app are in the public domain, if that is not the case, I will take it down.
