"Hi Dacendoran,
Welcome to the Path of Exile Beta!
I wake up on the beach as "Dacendoran", a pissed off giant warrior fresh off of a now sunken ship. I grab the nearest bludgeoning object (A 3 slot "Driftwood club" and have a brief conversation with some loser on the beach before bludgeoning the guts out of a slew of zombies
UNDEAD CARNAGE, as I fight my way past hordes of undead to the "big daddy" on the beach known as "Hillock"
And after a brief scuffle he is quickly dispatched and is kind enough to leave me with a new better helmet =D
(16 armor +1 mana after a killing blow +21 Max life)
I continue my lesiurely stroll up the beach past some dead (dead for good dead) bodies and into my first town in this joy forsaken coastland.
In town I learn from a man who has very shaky hands there is a chest on a shipwreck somewhere (cha-ching) that has medecine on it for his shaky hands and he would quite appreciate if I brought it back to him for a small reward. I take note and venture off into the next area
The next area is very pretty and after murdering some of the local fauna I run into this nifty hoozamawhat in the wall and take note for later.
Back to murdering more angry animals and zombies!
Somewhere amongst the slew of corpses I'm making behind me I piss off a rare beast an dispatch it for some nifty Magic-find gloves and decide to call it a night.
Terms of the NDA for anyone curious
