Nardo Lala

Suggestions, suggestions.... This idea has been in my head a few days: What about improving the mouse pointer in the game so it fits better in style with the in-game graphics ? maybe even make it animated ? I have no knowledge of re-vamping this thing myself but i bet there are some people out there who can. What do you think ? :roll:

and they taste better too...*coughes up a fur ball*

Tumoros was completely drained of all the energy he had. His face was pale and his breathing was in raptures. Slowly he got up though and said with a smile on his face. “Well that should do it…†Nardo just grinned and handed him a small glass bottle. “No more than three swigs…maestro…know your level.†he said with a warning frown. “I think you just reached a higher level of your magic knowledge.†“Wow! man!†Killerlamb came closer and said with an apologetic look on his face “Normally I don’t believe in that hoky-doky-wimpsy-pimpsy-whatever-u-call-it….thing you call m-m-magic…an I trusted only my mighty sword, but this has opened my eyes.†Tumaros just brushed off the dust of his jacket and looked back at group of humans and elves standing around him, some with smiles, others with concern and others with a non-understanding look on their face. “Hhmmm.†Tumaros laughed while he rubbed his pointy ears. “We have come across quite a few creatures before…and I also rely a lot on my weapons but sometimes…sometimes nothing beats the use of some great balls of fire!†Laughter broke out among the group and somehow with that also the ice broke between some of them. “Well,†Geelef spoke “We have had two occasions already in this strange forsaken valley and we are not even halfway. “I don’t trust this place, suggest we double the guard tonight and have a search party that will have a prowl around while others make camp.â€

Thank you Roja for your asuring words. :lol: I look forward as always to the development of it, knowing now that it has your touch also makes me even more anticipated.

Ha, see if you can find the others and let me know what you think :lol: What about books ? My dessert island toppie is: The complete works of J.R.R. Tolkien. Satan ( his psychotherapy and cure by the unfortunate dr. Kassler J.S.P.S. ) by Jeremy Leven. The 120 Days of Sodom by D.A.F. de Sade Skinny Legs and All by Robin Williams* * I have lost this book and dearly miss it. If any of you ever stumble across it send me a pm, i´ll triple the purchase price and refund postage with my eternal gratitude. 8)

O Mighty one, please reveal your oracle and riddle just outspoken... Will it be the pointer or the names above our heads ? :roll:

I nod in compliance to the above :roll:

Excellent idea that casino... :lol: I also thought about this: An auction hall where you can bid on rare items. And a Dungeon of Death, maybe one located in the Evil Castle (?) where you have to pay to get in the deeper parts. Depending on your skills ( and cash ) you can choose your quest and destiny. A teleporter to a fighting place where the amount of monsters will be random. Maybe even a random boss monster once in a while. You can enter alone or with friends.

Nardo looked at Killerlamb and noticed his questening eyes. "The magic gates are always different, and so are the roads and perils behind them. My guidance or knowledge would be no use to u." "Thrust thyself and thy friends thy shall meet" He examined the sturdy figure. "The question is do you accept thy quest...and will you step through these gates...?"

Nardo looked at Killerlamb with interesting eyes. "I wish you well my friend..." He noticed that he had grown in the time they where apart. He seemed more....improved... in mind and body. "You have heard of the tales of the knightning...now is thy day. "The road ahead is dangerous and full of hazards. I am confident though that thy shall be succesful." Nardo slid his hand in his pocket and took out a shiny blue jewel. "I found this after the skeleton king was defeated in a magic tower. Not figured the true meaning of it yet... but I am sure it will be usefull" He handed the crystal over to Killerlamb and gave him a firm hug. "Be wise and fruitful so we may hear of your stories too." With those words a large door magically opened in front of him.... :roll:

Nardo looked among his friends. "Hold on for a sec.." "Lets rest a bit...I think the time is right to tell you why i am here and what happened with my good friend here. “To tell you the story of Zabar is not an easy one. I can not guarantee you wont have bad dreams,†said Nardo while he sat down and took the frog out of his pouch. He held it up “Zabar is really a mighty magician, he has been transformed in this state upon his flight. It was a tremendous fight, i know, for which I was also thereâ€â€¦ “He was caught like me when he was very young and kept prison for years in a dark dungeon led by the one who’s name can not be outspoken†A shiver ran again though Nardo´s veins. “Zabar was there for one and only one purpose. He, together with 7 other chosen ones of all different races where drained of their blood and powers to feed the black crystal that was dangling in front of their eyes. To stop them from escaping they where chained and buried in a circle up to their necks. They were fed and brainwashed for six days and for the seventh it was drainage, torture and mutilation.†Nardo coughed and blushed “I amongst others were forced to feed and heal them. In his other state he looks now like a terrible mutant ogre, with an third horse-leg, three eyes, a broken horn and a large hump on his back. His skin is swollen and infected by all the poisoning…†“Blood they needed…and anger.†I was tortured if I did not comply but not worth of any other use to them. This went on for years…Zabar was the only one not completely brainwashed and whenever possible we had secret conversations and bit by bit plotted our way out.†“I studied whenever possible, learned to improve my skills until one day I managed to make the best sleeping herbal tea ever. For the rest I can be short. The guards where fast asleep, I dug up Zabar and together we fled into freedom.†“That was until we bumped into the Head of the Dark Prison Guard. She awaited us close to the gate…wide-awake. Her nostrils were wide and steaming. Her claws razor sharp and the charging of her magic gave a strange electricity in the air. We had no chance. Both of us where shackled and Zabar had no chance of running with his third leg dangling behind him.†“I quickly hid behind a statue and concentrated on protecting Zabar with any magic shield I could think of. It worked and I noticed he was fighting back with whatever magic power he had left. It was no use though. With a flash and a haunting laughter the shield shattered and Zabar was hit with a bursting electric ball. The screeching laughter continued “ “You have done your purpose…the crystal will be ready on time. But a frog they shall be fur the rest of your days…until you’ll get kissed by a prince of darkness’s... Muuuahahahahahaha...†The screeching laughter continued. Until it suddenly stopped and she appeared with in a puff of smoke in front of me. “And you…thou shall have the same faith, for whoever knows the story of this frog will suffer the same…thou shall loose thy memory bit by bit, your thoughts and willpower.hahahaha…and don´t think there is a cure. “ Nardo looked up to the ones around him. “I have travelled a lot and managed to improve myself with the help of others. Without them it would have been impossible to reach this far. In his thoughts he longed for his friends who where not now among him. “Let me show you this...†He dug into his bag and held out a large black shiny bauble in the palm of his hands. This is a dragon pearl. We found this on our travels. Normally it is white, clear and shiny. But look.†Inside the glass where strange furious dark gasses whirling in a wild frenzy. There are more of these and the dragons are more and more behaving strangely, getting aggressive.†“Zabar and I have to go back and stop this evil. But first we must fight this curse. I can be of help to any traveller who wishes to travel along with us as much are we in need of your help.†I am not much of a fighter, my travelling stick is a fine weapon, with poisonous ends if the needs is there. And there is thisâ€. With a smile he stroke the old wooden stick and it transformed into a razor-sharp fine bladed sword. The sunlight reflected the blade and gave it a mysterious rainbow coloured aura. He winked at Geelef. “Only in defence I shall use this though.†“I must find the dragon of Myst for he can bring us to an large island floating in the sky. Up there is the key to our salvation. Anyone not scared of dragons and heights, monsters and puzzles and those who are willing to travel through all kinds of conditions which we will be meeting along please join. Your wisdom or might could be the decisive thing. But who knows who or what we will meet.†Nardo scraped his throat and took a gulp of his flask. “Anyone some iced herbal tea? “
