About

I'm an Australian user, so I seem to very rarely be online at the same time as, well, anybody else. Joined the game very late in Tale 2. Very slowly getting the hang of things - I'm hoping I'll be a little more useful to my guild in the next telling.

My primary guild is Paradise Plains, who adopted me after I set up camp in their back yard, and have generally been very awesome.

This kept up for hours, very gradually wearing the thing down, and ever so slowly reeling it closer and closer to shore. Right around dawn it had finally had enough, and although my arms felt about ready to fall off, I brought it in, closer and closer. It was there, ready, and just as I was bending over to pull it out of the water... my rod broke! Snapped clean in two! Big Phagrus flipped a fin, and he was off, just like that! Never again will I go after the big game fish with a Basic Fishing Pole. :-(

Goals

By the end of the Tale, I'm hoping to:
