Gregar700 (DayZ) 14 Posted February 20, 2014 (Events transpire on a 40/40 server) As with any day in Chernarus i awoke with nothing but my clothes and my flaslight. I chunked the light but kept the battery just in case, i then tore my shirt into rags in case i needed a quick bandage.I ran across the coast passing many buildings and looking at the dismay this apocolypse had caused. I came across a warehouse and found a fireaxe and a hoodie. As i walked out a man holding a pistol told me to put the axe away and get down on the ground. I oblidged as he put the handcuffs on me, i didn't even protest when he took my axe. Because while he was busy robbing me, a man with a gun was creeping up behind him.It only took one shot and he was down. My savior never said a word, he only took off the cuffs with a key and dropped me some food and water and went on his way. I left that city with hope, something i havn't felt in a while in Chernarus. As i ran to Berezino i encountered many zombies but they were no match for my trusty axe. I aquired more clothing and food and even a rifle! I felt on top of the world as i ran through the forest avoiding the players on the road.That's when i saw it, two innocent citizens were being held hostage in handcuffs by two bandits. My heart broke at the sight as they shot near them and laughed at the fear in the young men's eyes. I pulled up my Mosin, calmed my breathing and shot. It only took on shot and he was down for good. Before the other scum had a chance to react he was lying dead by his friend.As i walked up the two men thanked me for saving them and told me they had never been here before. I explained the situation and told them to be more careful. I allowed them to take some guns from the two dead thugs but i held on to the ammo as you can never be too careful these days. I told them i would leave it all in a building and they would have to look for it. This would give me time to get away just in case they had blood lust.I got away safely and decided i should start calling it a day. I looked and looked and finally found it. A high rooftop where i could see all around me and be out of reach of the zombies infesting these lands.I entered the building and made sure all the rooms were empty. I made it to the top floor and found a ladder leading to the top, perfect! I started to climb but as i had a long day my sight was fuzzy and i missed a rung and fell back down to the bottom. I realized my legs were broken when i could feel the excruciating pain coursing through my body. I forced myself to work trough it and stood up and pulled myself up the ladder and onto the roof. Thankfully i was safe, tomorrow i will face this unforgiving land in search of a way to fix my legs. For now though, i will sleep. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicko2580 398 Posted February 20, 2014 The ending of your story sounds almost exactly like the ending to my first run in DayZ. Spent a good while looting up. Found a rifle, some other nice bits and pieces and then climbed a building and lay prone on the roof to log out safely. Logged back in the next day and went to climb down, ladder glitched out and I fell to my death. Didn't know about ladder bugs at the time. :blush: I don't go up ladders when I have decent kit now. :p 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregar700 (DayZ) 14 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Well this ladder made you stop climbing and fall back down the hole once you got to the top :P But somehow going prone (because of broken legs) made me not fall through the hole xP Edited February 20, 2014 by Gregar700 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
