Monster Island From: skydiver@bluemoon.rn.com (Ashley Taft) Date: Wed, 08 Jan 1992 15:02:08 +0000 Well! Got my 66th turn today, and I am happy to say: Cancel my request for data on Porqubeasts! I found two of the critters and an Ancient Cemetery. Not to mention the two Jungle Rattlers, but it'll be a while before I can use the darts... I am also in Middle Kunbar now. Haven't seen any creatures yet, but they're there...I know they are... TO NEW MONSTERS: Head about 30-40 squares inland, and begin exploring in more detail. Of course, you might be finding structures closer to the shore now than when I was starting out, and if that's the case, check THEM out first! Contact the monsters who started out in your square. Write to them and try to start organizing your turns to cover more territory. It's amazing what you can miss if you are exploring by yourself. Any path or trail that you find will lead someplace. Check it out, I think you'll like it. Weapons practice. Definitely WP. It is good to get your Bashing skill up to level 2 ASAP. It shouldn't take long. I had it on turn 2 or 3. Don't worry TOO much about lack of water. I have gone 8-10 turns thirsty, and was only losing 1-2 Health a turn. Water is now much more plentiful. I know this. I met somebody who started out in the same area I did, and found water in squares where I found nothing a year earlier! Ashley Taft Lord SkyDiver: Save the island... Have your Viper neutered now!
