A story behind all this...

As I always wanted to become parrotologist, I start my bird observing journal today.

• 2007-06-06 10:44 spotted a parrot. Starting observations. Parrot looks much like a parrot, it has two wings, a beak and some legs too. And many colors.

• 2007-06-06 11:21 Parrot moved 1SE

• 2007-06-06 14:16 Almost lost track of a parrot! It moved 3E, 2NE and 1N. Phew, that was close. I must watch it better.

• 2007-06-06 15:25 Parrot moved 2E

• 2007-06-06 16:18 Parrot moved 2E

• A parrot squawks "hey bird" (2007-06-06 16:35)

• 2007-06-06 17:11 Parrot moved 1E

• A parrot makes a sound remarkably similar to a human cough. (2007-06-06 18:05)


After that, I lost a track of the bird. but tomorrow I'm going to find myself a new one :D Parrotology is fun!

2007-06-10 22:21 Being ghastly observer is quite comfortable, yet loosing a bird means starting everything again. I need tracking skills! Signed: Devoted parrotologist.


And that's when I got an idea of starting a Society, devoted to exploring wonderful world of Shartak fauna, namely parrots.

Facts about parrots

Shartak parrots - their HP and AP

Wandering around you will probably meet some parrots. They are known to have low health and their beaks aren't the most efficient weapon in the world. Really? Read below for some less known truth about different kinds of parrots.

  • a parrot - 1 DMG, 5 HP. Your daily parrot. Yawn...
  • a vicious parrot - 2 DMG, 6 HP / 3 DMG, 7 HP - who would've expect? These little birds can be annoying, so you better watch your sleep when a vicious parrot is near.
  • a man-eating parrot - 4 DMG, 8 HP - a little threat during a daytime it can make you visit your home-camp shaman in the night. Man-eating parrots were never spotted in their natural habitat, but lab tests prove that there is a possibility such a monster appears one day and terrorizes our dwellings.


Below you can see photos of the parrots:

Beautiful, yet vicious
Give me back my leg!









Roger's Diary...

2007-06-12 - Preparations for field research started

Hut

From inside, you can see this is a trading post. There are numerous supplies stacked along shelves and a sign hangs near the door indicates you should beware of the guard dog.

I cannot wait to hit the jungle again. Good I still have some money, this way affording faks and herbs for my first trip into wilderness as a parrotologist wasn't a problem; furthermore, I believe I bought all of the medical supplies in stock. That's not much though... I also tried a mango juice, must say it was very refreshing. If everything goes well and evil spirits are not going to bother me, I think I can move in about 3 days.

For my travel plans, I decided to take the north coast until I leave highly populated areas. I hope there are some parrots there. Sadly, it is getting harder and harder every day to meet any birds in close vicinity of settlements (if you agree to call shipwreck a settlement, for that matter). My next entry will appear here when the 1st official parrotologist expedition blasts off.


2007-06-22 - Advanced tracking

After 10 days of a hard work I earned enough to afford mentioned skill. Now it is only 532 experience points and I will get another tracking skill. Preparations are pretty boring and do not give me all that excitation I feel when observing parrots from behind the big banana leaf but I keep telling to myself that without these necessary abilities my work wouldn't be of much efficiency. Back to XP gathering then!

2007-07-04 - Expert tracking

Not much to say. Sorry for all the folks scared to death because of my urge to research and explore. Science is something more important than simple stupid human morality. Life, death, doesn't matter. Hope they understand...
