Xenofizz the Underfoot -- Intro
I opened my eyes to the world for the first time. Unlike other children, what I saw was pure black, not light. I was a gnome of the Underfoot, born under the guidance of Brell Serilis. I looked around for my mother, but she was no where in sight. First person I noticed was a doctor. Now you gotta understand, gnomes aren't born without any capabilites like your average human. Gnomes are born and can be kicking in no time. I hopped off the platform and started to walk around for my first time. I mumbled something that the doctor seemed to understand about finding my mother. He explained to me the truth as it was. My mother had died giving birth to me. My father, well, let's just say he was too much of an adventurer to witness my birth and was far from Ak'anon. Ak'anon. Oh yes, the grandest city you will ever see, my true home.
As the years passed I learned many things. I could now speak my language fluently and could also do a bit of tinkering. But one thing was missing. I don't know what it was, but I felt I had my father's blood. The blood to go outside the city walls. The blood to adventure and it couldn't be held anymore. I could not go out unprepared though, I needed some training. That is when I turned to the Deep Muse. They were also worshippers of Brell and kind people. They would teach me an art that I would cherish the rest of my life. The art of being a healer, one who aids in keeping another safe and alive. A Cleric if you will. The High Priestess at the Deep Muse taught me many skills, such as the ability to use blunt weaponry, the ability to wield a shield and use it's skills, and most importantly, the ability to channel my mind power in a way in which was beneficial to others or myself, healing their wounds and filling their sores. I was but a minor when I stepped out into the light. I greeted Guard Prenn and stepped into the light for the first time. My eyes were blinded at the beautiful sun. I went a little down the path and heard a miller yelling.
"Goddarn rats, get over here and help me kid"
I quickly rushed over to the man, and introduced myself. I am Xenofizz Chronofyre, at your service.
"Good then kill off these infesting rats"
I took out my splinted club and took a swing at a large rat reared for the attack. I knocked him back against the wall into a painstaking death.
"There sir" said I
"Thank sonny, take this as a token of my appreciation."
He gave me a locket to wear around my neck. It was pure golden and had the Symbol of the Underfoot engraved onto it.
"You can open the front there, there is a suprise!"
I opened the front to see a picture of a gnome. A very strong Gnome indeed.
"Who is this fine looking Gnome sir?"
"Why that is your father."
"My FATHER?!"
"Yes, I knew him well, and when I first saw you step out here, I knew you had his blood, so I put you to the test with that rat there. You certainly got his blood and better make good use of it. The legions of Norrath need people such as you."
"Thank you sir, I will remember you and your gift always."
I then continued to help people around the Steamfont Mountains area. I slayed a many large rats and spiderlings and even some deadly skeletons. My healing power seemed to give me an advantage over the undead. An advantage I would like to defintely use on them. As I traveled the steamfont mountains and learned a many skills, but twas time to move to somewhere else. Just then, I heard a man scream.
"Adventurer, dear god help us, the Minotaurs have run loose from their caves and are slaying a many of our people! You must help my hunting party in this fight, I heard you have strange healing powers. Join us in this fight."
"Yes of course to save my people, but could at least introduce yourself. I am Xenofizz Chronofyre a Cleric of the Deep Muse and follower of Brell."
"I am Centripetal Force, a Wizard of Brell, and this is my two friends Cinumbenu, a Magician of Brell, and Sabo, and Enchanter of Brell."
"Pleased to meet you" said I, "Let us go slay the vile beasts then!"
We hurried on past the Windmills where a stout guard by the name of Mylz tried his best to keep the windmills safe. We reached a large gear implanted into the ground and took cover.
"Over there is the caves, we must rush inside and kill all of the minotaurs we can, but beware the Dark Gnome, Meldrath, who is a Necromancer of evil power!"
We charged the caves and engaged a Minotaur slave. He was tall, kind of looked like a Human, but with cow-like features and huge horns on his head. Cinumbenu summoned an elemental of the Earth to do his bidding. Centripetal gathered energy and toss it at him with extreme force knocking the Minotaur back. The elemental finished the slave and we hurried along the cave line. We came accross a female Warrior in full platemail. A Gnome indeed. I saw she was dead and we all wept. But I had an idea. I toggled through my spell book and happened accross a risky idea.
"I can revive her back from the dead!"
"But you are but a minor, can you perform such an action?"
"I can try!"
"But messing with the dead is a bad thing, we do not want you to become like the Necromancers are!"
"I won't try then.. I will SUCCEED!"
With that I began chanting and channeling energy through my body and conjured to corpse's soul to return to it. And it did. Twas my lucky day and the corpse now turned into a full fledged Female Gnome Warrior. Her name was Goldgem and had no time for introduction as we rushed down the hallway til our goal.
Suddenly approaching us was a very large Minotaur.
"You do not enslave or kill my people, we kill yours!" snarled the Minotaur.
"Who are you and of what importance to the Minotaur army?" asked I.
"I am the Hero of the Minotaur people, and I will have slain you where you stand."
"No you won't again", Cracked Goldgem.
"W--w--WHAT!?",exclaimed the Minotaur,"But, how do you live?"
"No need for talk now" said her.
She rushed into action swinging her valiant 2-handed sword at his mid section a many times. He took a huge step back and charged her, with that, his horn pierced her platemail. I quickly went to work and conjured and channeled until I had the will power to heal her wounds and I did. She went back in and took another blow at him. With this, Centripetal went and threw and immense ball of fire at the Minotaur. The Minotaur was finished. Dead. We had slain the Hero of all Minotaurs and the slavers spread across the country-side in fear. What lay ahead may be more dangerous, but I am ready to take it head-on.
