Spotlight
This weeks player spotlight is with Kehl the Healer, Number One Guardians.
This gnome is known for his deeds around the realms and deserves a bit
of recognition.
Q. Well then, Kehl the Healer. How long have you been playing muds?
A. “Four years, I believe.”
Q. All that time on Darkstone? A. “I took a hiatus from Darkstone
but have spent the majority of my time here.”
Q. Do you have any advice for other clerics that are a bit lost in
the realms? A. “What all clerics need is mana and the way to get
more mana is intelligence.” “It's okay to take risks, sometimes
you come out on the winning end, sometimes you don't” "Ask
for help."
Q. I hear that the guardians have recently changed their role in the
realms? A. “Aye, now we exist purely to help the young adventurers”
“Bring us your huddled masses and we'll...teach 'em the sword.”
Q. So your favorite area in the realms, what would it be? A. “Shagrim”
Q. Why is that? A. “Such an exotic place, and there is so much
to see and do.”
Q. If there was one thing you could tell someone new to Darkstone what
would it be? A. “Have fun.”
Kehl also runs a small cartography on the side, with maps available
for over 30 areas. A complete area and price listing can be found posted
on note boards around the realm
Strange happenings in Windy Bluff...
Reports of streakers frolicking through the town square of Windy bluff
have been strangely high lately. Many adventurers have reported seeing
these people walking about the area without clothes, like it's perfectly
normal . T don't know about the rest of you but I think it's downright
absurd. Put some clothes on people!
