Three events, memorable for me, happened in Candera: I fought Shadow Death, Sir Rolan, and a halloween-special Jason Voorhees (he would die and get right back up) in Candera.
I don’t recall Sir Rolan, but remember Shadow Death and Jason (was that not for a Friday 13th?). I remember killing Jason and thinking “Phew! That was close” just before he ressurected himself. I have a vague memory of Lycanthropy + Jason = Combat Spam City
And Shadow Death....*sigh*
One day he attacked me in Candera and he hurt me pretty bad. So I run out of the city, chug down an alc and nip off to the bathroom while I heal up. Of course, I didn’t realise at the time that Shadow Death would come out of Candera to hunt a player. I return to “All you can do is PRAY”
Just typing that reminded me of something else - was there a big worm or something that would attack people idling outside Candera entrance?
I also remember corpse running on a lower level char and killing some npcs - of course, what I hadn’t realised was that city guards had been introduced to protect citizens (I think it was Paradeck in this instance). The next corpse I ran to the processor with was my own.
Candera was also the scene of one of my many stupid moments....coming back to the game in ‘98, I didn’t know about the new necro skills and their need to make preserved corpses. So, anyways, I find a preserved corpse at one of the High Priest spots, grab it and process it. I think to myself “Wow - that corpse was worth a lot of silver! Must go find some more”. Minute later a shout of “Ok, who took the preserved corpse?!?”. Fortunately, the necro took pity on this fool.
