Okay, so it's been a while, and I figured I should probably put up this stuff that I'd been meaning to post for a while now!
THE SABROUSIAN ADVENTURES OF ADAGIO, BASKER, AND VENO!
Adagio = Human Thief played by
this person.
Basker = Shaerkien Ranger played by
this person.
Veno = Cypher Gaki (
go look it up :P) played by ME!
We are all at single-digit levels at this point, and I am the leader of the party, since I have played Sabrous for a while on other accounts and theoretically know what the heck I'm doing. Basker at this point has played Sabrous with me once or twice before, IIRC, and is still getting the hang of the commands. Adagio has never played Sabrous before.
With that said, ONWARD!
- - -
You say 'type 'follow veno' and I'll group you basker?'
Basker now follows you.
(Adagio and I try to move to a different room, but Basker stays put, so we go back.)
Basker stops following you.
Basker now follows you.
(Again, we try to move, but Basker stays put.)
You say 'TAHT'S REALLY WEIRD'
(Yet again, we try to move, Basker stays put. (This is why I said I theoretically know what I'm doing))
Basker says 'Why can't I follow you? o__o'
Basker says 'I mean, I'm following you but I'm not going anywhere'
You say 'Maybe because I'm lower level. Just go the way it says I'm going?'
(SOME TIME LATER %D)
You say 'Basker? Just go the direction that the text says we left in. I.E. if it says we went up, go up.'
Adagio says 'Can you only have one dude following you?'
You say 'I...don't think so.'
Adagio says ''Cause I'm plenty of dude right here.'
Adagio strikes a dashing pose.
You sigh.
You say 'Ready Basker?'
Basker says 'I suppose so..'
(Adagio and I go up the nearby cliff.)
Basker tells you 'I CAN'T GO UP'
You say 'ALTERNATE ROUTE IT IS.'
Adagio says 'Is Basker actually standing up first?'
Basker tells you 'why can I not go anywhere'
You say '. . .'
(I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE EXPERT HERE, ADAGIO)
Near the Small Cliff
Gazing upwards, one can see a rather easy shale made pathway leading
up the short cliff and into the arid desert lands to the east. Down
here, the air is considerably cooler and more moist. The elevated desert
has always had the brunt of bad weather. Tall grasses grow around the
base of the shale cliff at the edge of the field.
Exits: south west up.
A box wrapped in brightly coloured paper lies here.
Basker the Tracker is sprawled out here.
A purji-bird hops along the ground, pecking.
Adagio arrives from the west.
You say '...Basker?'
You say 'Stand up.'
Basker stands up.
Basker says '...'
The Merchant Path
Ah, here we are. Standing atop the edge of the cliff face and staring
down, not too far below, one can see the lush green fields. It's strange
how isolated from eachother these two areas are, how a simple cliff face
can make one land complete desert and the other quite green and clean. A
rather rough stone staircase leads down.
Exits: east south down northwest.
A large orange and black gila lizard slithers along.
Basker arrives from below.
Adagio arrives from below.
Basker says 'W-was... was I sitting the whole time?'
You say 'I'm such a moron sometimes.'
Adagio says 'Bam. I'm good.'
You say 'Yeah.'
- - -
(One of the more insane modes of transportation in Sabrous is the giant sewer worm:)
Basker says '...Worm usage?'
Adagio says 'Where're we headed?'
You say 'WE'RE GONNA RIDE THE WORM :D Ew Ork.'
Adagio says 'Ew Ork'
Rumbling through the tunnels, the giant worm appears.
The giant worm says 'You want to ride the worm, eh?'
The giant worm says 'YOU WANT TO RIDE THE WORM?'
The giant worm says 'You can't HANDLE The worm!'
Basker says '...'
- - -
(In previous sessions between the two of us, Basker had come up with a system for figuring out what items were for:)
Adagio says 'How do I use an item?'
You say 'Which item?'
Adagio says 'Balloon.'
You say '...No idea.'
Basker says 'EQUIP IT!'
Basker says 'Actually no wait'
You say 'OR EAT IT'
Basker says 'What was the system?'
Adagio stops using The Adventurer's Guide.
Adagio holds a balloon in his hands.
Basker says 'Try eating it, then try drinking it, then try wearing it'
You say 'Eat, drink, wear?'
Adagio stops using a balloon.
Adagio starts to nibble on a balloon... (he must really be hungry)
Adagio lifts a balloon up to his mouth and tries to drink from it...
Adagio holds a balloon in his hands.
Adagio says 'I can wear it!'
Basker says 'LET'S HEAR WHAT ADAGIO SOUNDS LIKE ON HELIUM'
- - -
(Obviously, different races have different abilities, with some exceptions. Cyphers can fly, and Shaerkians can breathe water, for example...:)
Basker says 'Being a walking shark is really frustrating at times. '
You say 'IT WON'T BE ONCE WE REACH A RIVER BASKER.'
Adagio says 'Then we'll be the unlucky ones.'
Adagio says 'I don't know how to swim. :['
You say 'Yeah. ...Well, Adagio will. I can fly. :3'
Adagio says 'I can WALK.'
You say 'You don't have to; you can breath water automatically, and everyone moves normally in water.'
Adagio says '...what. That's ridiculous.'
You say 'What?'
You say 'I was saying that to Basker.'
Adagio says 'I can breathe water automatically? The heck kinda human am I?'
You say 'NO, Basker can. :P'
Basker says 'XDXD'
Basker says 'I was going to say, um, are you a pure human? XD'
You say 'Yeah, Adagio's the only one of us who'd drown at surface level. XD'
Basker says 'ROTFL'
You say 'Deep water, though...I'd probably be doomed too.'
Adagio says 'Thanks, guys. Feeling the love.'
Adagio says 'You better watch your backs.'
- - -
(There was at least one point when the group got separated; in this case, Adagio tried to steal from a rat and got me murdered by a guard in the process. Once I returned and we found Basker...:)
Basker says 'So shall we go about killing stuff here? :>'
Adagio says 'I don't know. Mother here told me not to pick fights.'
You say ':P'
You say 'Junior here murdered me with a guard, so. XD'
Adagio says 'Hey! It wasn't my fault it decided to spring into action when I pickpocketed a rat!'
Adagio says 'Friggin' rat didn't even have any money.'
You say 'THAT RAT HAD NO VALUABLES'
You say 'HOW DARE HE'
- - -
(Finally, though, we made it back out of the city, and were ready to begin our EPIC JOURNEY:)
You say 'LET'S DO THIS'
You say 'LEROY'
Basker says 'Can we kill the cactus?'
You miss a cactus-man. [0]
- - -
(If you ask anybody I've talked about Sabrous to, they'll probably tell you I'm a HUUUUUUGE Nikitak fan. With one exception:)
The yodeling Nikitak yells 'YODELAY HEE HEOOOOO'
You say '. . .'
Basker says 'o___O'
Adagio says 'Huh.'
You say 'I WILL HAVE YOUR BLOOD, YODELING NIKITAK'
You say 'ONE DAY'
- - -
(LEARNING TO CLIMB IS FUUUUN 8D:)
You say 'Hi.'
Adagio says 'Hi.'
Basker says 'We fell.'
You say 'Ah.'
Adagio says 'Yeah. We can't all fly.'
You say 'Sorry.'
Adagio goes XD
(I go up, Basker manages to follow, but falls when we go back for Adagio.)
Adagio says 'Ow.'
Basker says 'OW darnit.'
You say 'We'll get this eventually.'
(I go up, nobody follows.)
Basker says 'OWWW'
Adagio says 'say Ow.'
Basker says 'Dude I am going to get brain damage.'
Adagio says 'That kills 10 HP each time. :['
You say 'CURSE YOU NORTH TEK AND YOUR EASY CLIMB'
You say 'You guys okay?'
Basker says 'I have 92 HP'
Adagio says 'I have 48'
Adagio says 'Now 63.'
Adagio says 'Let's rumble.'
(And up and down and up and down and FINALLY...)
Basker arrives from below.
You say 'SIT'
Basker says 'I got EXP for climbing @___@'
You say 'Yep. You got a little better. Now sit so you don't fall again?'
Basker sits down on the ground.
You say '...wait. *checks map* ...FFFFFFFFFF'
You say 'I'M GOING THE WRONG WAY.'
Basker says '...'
- - -
(This doesn't even need context:)
Adagio says 'BRINSTAR.'
Adagio says 'BRINSTAR. REALLY.'
- - -
(And this:)
You wave to Samus Aran.
Samus Aran slaps you.
Adagio says 'And here I am without-- WHAT.'
Basker says 'LOL'
- - -
(A little later in THE SAME CAVE:)
Adagio says 'Could we get the morph ball?'
Basker says 'ZOMBIES'
You are not nearly as experienced as a Farm Zombie.
A Farm Zombie looks about as strong as you.
An Armored Frog arrives from the north.
Adagio says '...This is an EARTHBOUND LEVEL'
You say ':3'
Adagio says 'WHERE'S MR SATURN'
You say 'I CAN SHOW YOU THAT'
(A little later!:)
The stalagmites here all have tiny red ribbons on them!
A little red ribbon lies here, forgotten.
Adagio arrives from the northwest.
Basker arrives from the northwest.
Adagio gets a Mr. Saturn Ribbon.
Basker says 'Can we take some of the stalagmite and make a POINTY ROCKHAT?' (<== Nobody outside of BChat is going to get this reference. XD;)
You say 'Sadly no'
You say 'BUT WE CAN GET THE RIBBON'
(Finally we reach Saturn Valley!:)
A Mr. Saturn walks along here with an occasional "BOING! ZOOM!"
A Mr. Saturn would make a great teacher for you!
It would take a bit of luck...
Basker says 'LET'S KILL IT'
You say 'Yeah, these are all too tough, so no.'
Adagio says 'NOOOOO'
You say 'They'll murder us.'
Adagio says 'Plus, they're Mr. Saturn. :[ Why kill them?'
Basker says 'can we kill something? D%'
You say 'WELL YOU WANTED MR. SATURNS :P
Adagio says 'Not to KILL :[
- - -
(Basker is...well, Basker:)
Basker says 'Can we kill a guard? :D
You say '...I wouldn't.'
Adagio says 'BAD END'
You say 'They're too high level for us.'
Adagio says 'And Veno would know.'
You say 'YES I WOULD!'
- - -
Basker says 'I AM SHARK. I NEED MANY WATERS'
- - -
(And then we discovered the giant bees!:)
Adagio hugs a giant bee.
A giant bee acts like Adagio doesn't even exist.
- - -
(There are many strange things in the world of Sabrous. For example:)
You sit on the wheelchair.
As you rest upon the chair, a strange vision clouds your
sight...A girl? Covered in bandages? With short, black hair...
You stand up.
Basker sits on the wheelchair.
Basker's eyes cloud, as if recieving a vision...
You say 'Okay, sit on the wheelchair. XD'
Basker stands up.
Basker says 'That was weird. o__O'
You say 'Yep'
Basker says 'I hereby call thee...'
Basker says 'DRUGCHAIR.'
- - -
(We are strange but harmless people, I promise:)
Basker says 'I will equip everything car related'
Basker says 'And then I will be...'
Basker says 'CAR SHARK MAN'
- - -
(Later, after trying (and failing) to organize everyone, I finally get Basker and myself to the town square:)
Basker says 'Are we gonna find my stuff? %<'
Veno tells the group 'Adagio where are you?'.
You say 'As soon as I'm done herding cats.'
- - -
(At one point, one of the older players dropped by to say hi and give us stuff! (Sabrous players are notoriously helpful and awesome):)
Talon drops leather boots.
Talon drops a longsword.
Talon drops a tin cup.
Talon says 'all yours, if you want any of it'
Talon says 'I'm evil.'
You say 'That's not evil at all! :P
Talon says 'Killing guards is just idle amusement for me'
Talon says 'no, but that is'
You say 'True.'
You get a tin cup.
You say '...As is killing beggars on the street. :P
Talon >.>
Talon <.<
Talon says 'you saw nothing'
- - -
And that was it for now. Hopefully there will be more escapades in the future!
