In defense of her newbies, Lasuna, Guardian of Mount Gheladan has roasted Llywncwmdwyd to a crisp.

Come now, you're not even trying.

That name looks like it needs at least 15 more vowels.

It looks Welsh to me - that means it needs about five more consonants before it has the vowel:consonant ratio right!

You step through a sonic portal.
Lukaus follows you outside.
A warmly lit hall.
Marhisa, Priestess of Virtue, stands here in quiet thought. Shining in silver armour, Lady Talarna, Paladin of Learning, stands here deep in thought. Weary but unbroken, the templar Sir Gladius lingers here, alert to his surroundings. A sleek pony grazes nearby. A gilt-framed portrait of Draekar hangs upon a wall. A gilt-framed portrait of Silas hangs upon a wall. A heavy wooden chest reinforced with steel plates rests in the corner of the hall. Jaydus stands here, practicing defensive manoeuvres with a focused expression. Zalas stands here, his head slightly cocked as he considers his surroundings. Colourful ribbons flutter about a wicker basket. Dripping quietly, a waterlogged humgii has chewed through its leash. Intricately detailed, a wooden model of a guardian djinn stares into the surroundings with beady eyes. Corporal Cazin stands guard. A small grey mouse noses about here, looking for cheese. A silvered reindeer stands here with his antlers held proudly aloft. Gleaming slightly, a steel shortsword is here. Resting here with a haughty expression is a golden gryphon. Preening its metal-edged feathers, an enormous Stymphalian bird glares about itself with beady, red eyes. The sound of a low growl draws attention to Gunholf, a winged wolf. A mottled Mhojave Desert falcon glides effortlessly to and fro. Wings flaring, a pegasus tosses his regal head impatiently. Stretching its wings in an impressive display is an ebony pegasus, its dark coat absorbing the surrounding light. A giant tortoise sits here like a rock. Lying on the ground is a steel Theran broadsword. A small grey-brown rattlesnake is coiled here, rattling menacingly. There are 2 inquisitive bear cubs here. A sonic portal, edges vibrating madly, is here. <-- uh oh Spreading its majestic golden wings, a giant eagle searches the ground with piercing eyes. A mottled desert asp is curled and ready to strike.  The Golden Dragon Goggo's imposing form looms. Lady Aldair d'Vast is here. She wields an ornate steel rapier in each hand. Alexius Comnenus is here. He wields an iron-tipped whip in his left hand and a buckler in his right. The Red Dragon Shunsui's imposing form looms.
You see a single exit leading up.
Gunholf's ears perk to your arrival as he acknowledges you with deep amber eyes.

Halos

You see Aurora, the Lightbringer shout, "Refugees. Wanderers. Devout servants of Good, of Light, of 

Righteousness. We promised you a home."

You see Deucalion, the Righteous Fire shout, "It is time We fulfilled that promise."

Standing upon the shore of the Zaphar, Aurora wields the Sword of Dunamis in both hands, the blade 

pointing downward.

The Lightbringer gestures to Deucalion. At once, He moves to Her side, grasping the sword's hilt 

below where Her hands rest.

As the bedrock stirs, the Zaphar River begins to froth and foment, rising to its banks with torrid 

savagery.

Thaumas tosses back and forth in restless slumber.

The continent shifts suddenly, and a fissure tears asunder the quiet expanse to the east of the 

Zaphar. The split widens as it races towards the sea, stone and silt crumbling inward to form a dry, 

empty riverbed.

Wicked claws gleaming dangerously, Delphinus prowls in from the south.

Delphinus prowls out to the northeast.

Large chunks of stone shear away from the cliffs along the eastern coastline, plummeting into the 

waters of the Eusian Sea as the fissure reaches Sapience's edge.

Aurora and Deucalion release Their hold upon the Sword of Dunamis, which remains firmly implanted in 

the riverbed.

Visible from dozens of miles away, the vibrant colors of the immense sword fade as it turns to stone,

an enduring monument to the permanent alteration of the landscape.

Eager and strong, a wall of water surges around the sword and along the channel, thundering towards 

the coastline.

The newly born river rushes toward the cliffs, splitting itself around multiple spits of higher 

ground and forming islands in the midst flowing water.

The water reaches the cliffs and leaps free, forming a triad of waterfalls that carry the river 

downward to reunite with the sea.

In the crystal-clear night sky, the stars twinkle and glow brightly.

The churning river calms and slows as it fills its new banks.

As the moon shines brightly within the heavens, the newborn river begins to calm and settle along 

its course, reflecting an argent light within its banks.

You see Aurora, the Lightbringer shout, "Behold: Targossas, the Dawnspear!"

You see Aurora, the Lightbringer shout, "Let it be a stronghold, guarded by silvered water!"

You see Deucalion, the Righteous Fire shout, "To the devout We entrust Targossas. Upon this sacred 

ground the servants of Light and Righteousness find shelter."

Aurora, the Lightbringer says, "Go now and claim your new home."

The sweltering heat of the forge spills out across the land as the rumbling voice of Phaestus booms, "Nice bit of land you got over there, you scraggly good for nothings. Think you still know how to work? Too much playing dice and admiring each other's skirts, if you ask Me."

The sweltering heat of the forge spills out across the land as the rumbling voice of Phaestus booms, "It's not a kilt if it's got a lace ruffle, Silas. You can't talk the lads into 'em that way on My watch."

You hear the disappointed cries of a throng of stick-wielding pixie children after learning that their newly acquired party toy, Antidas isn't stuffed with candy.

Wysteria

Antidas

(Party): You say, "Is spraeth an enemy?"

(Party): Aisling says, "Occultist I believe."

(Party): Aisling says, "Not welcome."

(a lot of chasing Spraeth around Targossas, until he flees back to Pandora's temple. A matter of seconds after he finally unastrals…)

Entrance to a grand temple.

A runic totem is planted in the ground. A mischievous pixie hovers in the air. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the ground. An obsidian eye sigil is here.  Spraeth Sinaire, the Murine Miscuri is here. He wields a cavalry shield in his right hand.

You can see no further.

You train your expert eye on Spraeth and let fly an arrow with breathtaking precision.

Your aim augments the flight of your arrow.

Your arrow strikes true!

You have slain Spraeth.

(about 10 minutes later)

The world goes out of focus as you hear the impish laughter of Pandora ringing in your head.

When you regain your senses, you find yourself bound, hanging from a tree, and surrounded by a throng of stick-wielding and blindfolded pixie children who then proceed to beat the living daylights out of you.

(Another 10 or so minutes later…)

The world goes out of focus as you hear the impish laughter of Pandora ringing in your head.

You have been slain by a throng of pixie children.

A small grey-brown rattlesnake falls out of your inventory.

A Siroccian fighting kitten falls out of your inventory.

Slippery elm falls out of your inventory.

A group of 2 pieces of kelp falls out of your inventory.

(ok fine, two can play at this game)

Chamber of Cacophony.

Echoes of delighted feminine laughter fill the air around this towering shrine to Pandora. A small journal entitled "Marbles of Mischief" hovers here in a green nimbus of light. A grubby little humgii sits here, making a great display of appearing innocent. A runic totem is planted solidly in the ground. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the ground. An obsidian eye sigil is here. A garron mare paws at the ground, impatient to be underway. A brown stag wanders about here, its head held regally. A blue roan ambles about here, tail swishing.  Spraeth Sinaire, the Murine Miscuri is here, shrouded. He wields a cavalry shield in his right hand.

You can see no further.

You train your expert eye on Spraeth and let fly an arrow with breathtaking precision.

Your aim augments the flight of your arrow.

Your arrow strikes true!

You have slain Spraeth.

(sorry Spraeth, I feel a little bit bad about that one, but you can blame Pandora. Anyway, a couple minutes later...)

Poof! You have been turned into a Toad!

Your race is now that of Toad.

You feel your tongue lengthen and your body simultaneously shorten and widen, and warts pop into 

place across your skin. A deep desire to devour a fly overwhelms you.

(looool)

…ok then. I suddenly understand why Bonko constantly destroys Pandora's shrine network. Delete pandora plz.

Triak

You were killing someone in her temple.  It would seem reasonable that she would not be happy with you. 

Initially she just killed you in a fun amusing way which should of been the end of it.  But then got all huffy and puffy and went back to kill Spraeth again and got toaded. 

Sounds about right.

For reference she maggoted Hirst for killing  Spraeth in there as well.

Cahin

Pandora serves the purpose of allowing people to hide behind her to avoid conflict.

Vaehl

As much as I agree that some of Pandora's actions are uncalled for, killing one of her order members in her temple -may- lead to repercussions such as death. Only a fool would do it again after that warning, really.

Antidas

@Triak thats just as lolworthy as what happened to me. Spraeth was trespassing somewhere he wasnt allowed to be. He was killed seconds after he unastraled, its not like I went back ages later to kill him for it. There was no reason to kill me. no matter how "fun" the deathsight was for the rest of you to see, it was still just a random message and me dying, no RP involved apart from pandora saying "stay out of my temple." It was a little lame for me to kill Spraeth for it, I freely admit. But I can hardly kill Pandora for it, so I took the next best option. I could have understood a disfavor for that, but being toaded is a bit extreme. @Cahin is right when he says people just use her to hide from conflict, and she lets them. I do not say that to insult anyone who uses her to hide behind, its Pandora's responsibility to prevent that from happening.

Iphis

@Antidas you wouldn't know RP if it hung you from a tree and beat you like a pinata.  Oh... wait...

I keed, I keed. STFU. 

Tanaar

Sounds like Pandora needs to have a chat with Spraeth about hiding in her temple to avoid hunters. That's even worse form than killing in a temple.

Spraeth

I wasn't hiding in her temple to avoid hunters.  I hang out in her temple all the time.  I briefly left her temple to go check out the new area -- I wasn't an enemy to either Aurora or Deucalion, and in fact had a little chat with Aurora the other day.  As soon as I showed up in the new area, a squad of people attacked me on sight, and Silas enemied me to Aurora.   All without anyone speaking to me, or me to them.

I then said to myself, "screw this, I don't want to explore this area that badly," and went back to where I was before -- Pandora's temple.  Antidas, one of the people in the squad of six that were attacking me, hunted me down and killed me for the grand crime of... walking around?  Idk.

I had no real reason to believe I would be attacked when I went to the new area, being as I was completely non-aggressive, didn't say a word, and not enemied to the new proto-City or to either of the Divine responsible for it.    And I certainly had ZERO reason to believe that, after I did nothing offensive in the slightest, that people would consequently hunt me down for ... wandering around, getting attacked, and leaving immediately.

Yue

@Triak @Vaehl

lowat?

I think if a temple should be non-violent, than combatants should have the decency not to run there to get out of combat.

Antidas

@Spraeth you are an occultist. You weren't allowed in Shallam when it was standing, why do you think it would be any different now?

This post shows a remarkable amount of ignorance of how the world works.

You are an Occultist that has run from Ashtan to Hashan. In what world do you think you're going to be welcome in our new sacred homeland? Must we tattoo it on our foreheads that WE DON'T LIKE CHAOS?

Then again, Miscuri. I shouldn't expect more.

ETA: "The grand crime of running around" = "The grand crime of conspiring to bring about the end of the universe." *Shallamese Targossians don't need any more excuse to hunt an Occultist down, trespass is just provocation.
