Oh Faithful Brown Steed, You Shall Be Missed.

Old Abandoned Barn
You are inside an old abandoned barn. The sod roof is torn and broken in
places, allowing rain to gush in, leaving the interior all smelling dank
and musty. Old clumps of hay, blackened with mold dangle over the
collapsing loft, while patches of sodden straw cover the ground, leaving
other spots bare. The tool racks are broken and collapsing, and of course
the stalls are empty, no farm animals kept here for a long time. The view
through the broken roof makes it an excellent place to observe the local
area from.

You flee head over heels.
Quiet Pastureland
Around you spreads pastureland of dry grasses cropped short by herds of cattle
Room Found, Teleporting
and flocks of sheep that graze here. The pastures here are fairly empty though,
with only a few herds and flocks, and only a couple farms dot the landscape.
Greater numbers of farms and livestock can be seen to the east, but westward
the pastures are replaced by a mixture of empty fields of tall dry grasses
intersparsed with small copses and groves of native oaks and fir. Directly
north of here the Caemlyn Road runs past, coming from Whitebridge and the
river Arinelle off in the distance eastward. Just south of here an old barn
stands empty and alone.

Circle of Light
High amidst the heavens, the Circle of Light is the hallowed ground of the
friends of the Light. From here, some of the major destinations around the
world can be reached, as shown by a large sign. A permanent fountain in the
center of the Circle gives a soothing backdrop to ponder mortal matters.

Ok, so it's not actually pk, but I'll tell you, I sat in shock for a while. I was trying to kill the rats in the barn for the crier, and since I was so low I kept fleeing so I wouldn't get hit too much. I did that several times, then all of a sudden, I was dead! As I fled out, at critical, a trolloc hit me once and it was all over for me! It all happened so fast, I barely knew what hit me. The best part? When I went back to where I died, all my belongings were still there. Thanks guys! Of course, my faithful brown steed was dead, but I'll get over that.

So, it's not much to look at. I'm not the hero I imagine myself to be when I think about my eventual introduction to pk. But as this is a blog about my experiences, I thought I'd share with you my first experience with death :).
