Melodie

Still my favorite pet project.

Aegoth said:

Unknown Area.

You say, "Duanathar."

You quickly utter "Duanathar" and your wings flare with power before swiftly carrying you up to on 

the clouds.

On the clouds (indoors).

A ladder of long, soft leaves comprises a wispy Weaver's Fern along the ground. There are 2 comical 

jack-in-the-boxes here. A noble hippogriff flaps its wings in agitation here. A pike with the 

decapitated head of Avianca has been erected.  Blackthorn General Rangor Corten, Guardian of Nature 

is here. He wields a Shield of Absorption bearing the House arms of the Sentinels of Nature in his 

right hand.

You see exits leading north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, up, down,

 and in.

You greet @Rangor with a sincere smile.

Rangor says to you in a deep, rumbling voice, "Greetings Aegoth. I have a number of topics I can 

tell you about. Are you here to learn of Nature or our enemies perhaps? Or what about our dieties. I 

can tell you about the Coven or Lady Artemis herself. The most interesting lesson might be to learn 

of my perspective of the urban cities."

You greet Rangor with a sincere smile.

Rangor says to you in a deep, rumbling voice, "Greetings Aegoth. I have a number of topics I can 

tell you about. Are you here to learn of Nature or our enemies perhaps? Or what about our dieties. I 

can tell you about the Coven or Lady Artemis herself. The most interesting lesson might be to learn 

of my perspective of the urban cities."

You put your hands on your hips and go "Hmmm!"

You say, "Artemis."

 

Rangor says in a deep, rumbling voice, "Alright then, let me find the correct page in my manuscript.

"

Rangor ruffles through an old manuscript, searching for the correct page. He smiles brightly and 

puts his finger on the first line, when he finds a page titled -Nature for the young-.

Rangor says in a deep, rumbling voice, "Born of a seed of Destruction within the temple of Gaia and 

Propasia, the exiled spirit of the forest which once lay beneath Cyrene's cobblestone, the 

personification of primal, violent nature has come in the form of Artemis. She manifests within the 

raw force of the rumbling in the earth and the heart of a volcano. She is nature at its cruelest, 

its most unrelenting and fiercest. Like a building tremor in the earth She comes, raining down upon 

those who do Her charge harm."

You say, "Coven."

Rangor says in a deep, rumbling voice, "The Cataclysm is a dispassionate force, set apart from the 

ideals of 'Good' and 'Evil'. There is only what 'is', and with nature in particular, that 'is' 

constantly redefines itself. Artemis embodies the unpredictable ferocity of Nature and is a guiding 

force to those who seek to maintain the natural balance with spear, sweat, and blood. She often 

appears as a fiery jungle warrior, and Her Divine symbol is that of a yew tree, split by a bolt of 

lightning. Like that bolt, the Cataclysm comes sudden and strong - She is the Warrioress of Nature. 

Woe to the fool who crosses Her and invokes Her wrath."

You say, "Cities."

You say, "Urban cities."

Rangor gives you the once over.

You say, "Perspective."

Rangor begins to chant a rapid mantra.

Rangor lets fly at you with a snap kick.

He connects to the right leg!

Rangor ceases to wield a Shield of Absorption bearing the House arms of the Sentinels of Nature in 

his right hand.

Rangor lets fly at you with a snap kick.

He connects to the left leg!

Rangor balls up one fist and hammerfists you.

He connects to the left leg!

Rangor balls up one fist and hammerfists you.

You dodge nimbly out of the way.


Guess I know now what he thinks about cities. Jerk.

I love how you end up treating Rangor everyone does quest givers:

You greet Rangor with a sincere smile.

Rangor says to you in a deep, rumbling voice, "Greetings Aegoth. I have a number of topics I can 

tell you about. Are you here to learn of Nature or our enemies perhaps? Or what about our dieties. I 

can tell you about the Coven or Lady Artemis herself. The most interesting lesson might be to learn 

of my perspective of the urban cities."

You put your hands on your hips and go "Hmmm!"

You say, "Quest."

Rangor says to you in a deep, rumbling voice, "Bring me a shrubbery!"

Khaibit

You rip into a fierce brigand with your massive, deadly claws.

You have scored an OBLITERATING CRITICAL hit!

You have slain a fierce brigand, retrieving the corpse.

Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 101.

You have reached the illustrious level of 5th Heir to Ashaxei's Legacy.

*** Congratulations, you've just completed the Greet Constable Beck or Blaan the Troll task! ***

A pile of golden sovereigns spills from the corpse of a fierce brigand.

A jagged iconic shard appears and clatters to the ground.

A small pile of sovereigns spills from the corpse.

phew, that task is done finally

A touching moment of family bonding in Mhaldor:


@Taraus says somberly with a throaty, lyrical accent, "My apologies if I've disrupted a solemn moment."

@Saeva Aristata, Purifier says vulnerably in Mhaldorian, "It was not disruptive..not if you revel with us."

Saeva gazes out onto the horizon, her eyes distant.

You place your hand on Saeva's shoulder, gazing out toward the horizon.

Turning her head to follow their gaze, Taraus squints as she accidentally glances up into the sun.

Saeva Aristata, Purifier says sincerely in Mhaldorian, "My sons. Today you have witnessed true beauty in the fog that stretches to the horizon."

You say to Taraus, "I agree with my son, my son."

Saeva Aristata, Purifier says quietly to Taraus in Mhaldorian, "Brother."

You place your hand on Taraus's shoulder, gazing out toward the horizon.

Saeva's lower lip begins to tremble as her eyes fill with heavy tears.

Taraus whispers meaningfully with a throaty, lyrical accent, "I never had so many dads."

Melodie

So a normal skirmish with Eleusis, nothing out of the ordinary. Doing pretty good, avoiding a lot of tricky deaths, feeling good, then...

Khaz raises his broadsword over his head and begins to swing it in a wide circle, gaining speed as he goes.

(svo): Careful: Khaz started behead!

(Ignore while focusing on attacking)

Khaz begins to bear down on you with his whirling broadsword.

(svo): Careful: Khaz is still beheading you!

(Keep attacking someone else like a dork. Realize belatedly I need to get out. Try to get out.)

Screaming out a warcry of pure strength, Khaz brings his broadsword crashing straight down on your head. Blackness fills your vision and the screams of pain exploding in your head find no outlet as your entire body is clove asunder.

You are no longer known for acts of infamy.

You have been slain by Khaz.

With your final, dying breath you utter the single word, "Vengeance!". Spears of jagged bone materialise out of thin air, and plunge themselves into your enemies.

A ginseng root falls out of your inventory.

A bloodroot leaf falls out of your inventory.

A skullcap flower falls out of your inventory.

Some irid moss falls out of your inventory.

A bloodroot leaf falls out of your inventory.

A piece of kelp falls out of your inventory.

 

Lideron's nostrils flare wildly with a great rush of air as his sinuous body contracts and his mouth opens wide to emit a rippling, unbroken roar at Khaz. (Well, at least he tried)

(Oh well. Dumb reason to die on my part, but it happens. Time to pray!)

Sitting up from your supine position, you glance at your body and realise it is healed and whole once again. Still reeling in wonder from your experience, you quietly ponder the Endbringer's reasons for restoring you to life, and leave the cave. (Yay I'm up, are we still fighting?!)

(Suddenly before I even say anything aloud or have been up for five seconds...)

(Party): Hasar says, "You got cleaved there, Melodie."

Welcome to the Mhaldorian Education System, folks! We deal in sarcasm, ironic statements, and occasionally Captain Obvious pays us a visit to remind us of our solemn duty in keeping the apparent visible at all times.

Caoimhaen

@Melodie I love when people do this...it's like really?! Are you sure? I couldn't tell that I died/that was a bad idea. I never would have figured that ,had you not told me. Thank oh great wise one. out..even better...You finish a  spar that you lost and they treat you like you do not know what happened and/or that you are a beginner to combat.  

Edit:I do understand the purpose though

Santar

Well, if you knew you were being cleaved, why did you let him cleave you? Huh Melodie? Why'd you do that? 

Cidusii

Everyone just wants a bit of cleavage sometimes.

Tahquil

I hope at least one other person gets this.

- 2015/01/31 14:20:04 - Maintaining order in the court, a liveried constable has forcibly expelled 

Lanarai from the bounds of Hashan.

Except, y'know, there are no court constables there. None. They're elsewhere in the City.

Unless a court constable heard of her intrusion and promptly sprinted to her location, beating the other 5 guards in the room to getting the final kill...

Hashan's court constables must secretly be Serpents or something. Give that man a Lupine bow.

General log for the Vashnarian Shield:
2015/01/31 22:25:10 - Credits +100. Reason: Member purchase.

WTF, who in Cyrene even needs this many credits.

Kyrra

@Cynlael should have seen the city logs when I came back to playing after being dormant. I bought something like 8k credits in a day. 

Plenty of artifacts for hunting and other things of whimsy.

Somebody in Eleusis bought enough to get a +150 result just a couple of days ago. I did a slight double-take when I saw it.

Which gets more from a purchase, again? House or City?

Cynlael

edit Nevermind. House gets more.
Cyrene log:
2015/01/31 22:25:10 - Credits: +60. Reason: Citizen purchase.

Maybe we're seeing a trend, in which Cyrenians rack up credits, artefact up, and claim their place as rightful guardians of the galaxy.

I am Groot.

it's not for the credits, it's for the chocolates. DEM CHOCOLATES.

Valaria

well 100... i wonder how many credits equal to +100 at the moment.. 2000?

Silas

Yes. Houses get 5% of credit purchases, cities get 3%.

My guess is for a recently purchased shop...

Xith

"Additionally, we've added another brand new functionality! If you FEED one of 

the chocolates to a denizen, you'll receive a bonus to all experience gains from 

killing denizens of that type for 24 hours! Feed the chocolate to a Mhun, and 

all Mhun denizens will grant you additional experience!"

Behind the crypt (indoors).
There are 2 wights here. A decaying zombie stands waiting with a chocolate ring around its mouth.

Overlooking a pool of rot and decay (indoors).
A ghoul is busy devouring its Valentine's Day present, but it looks up from its meal as you approach.

Valaria

Silas said:

Yes. Houses get 5% of credit purchases, cities get 3%.

then that 'citizen' must have brought around 3000 to 4000 credits.

Skye

That's a lot of chocolate

Your math is horrible. 100 * 20 (100%/5%) is 2000.

where that 20 and 100% come from? by the way, i thought that +100 was in the city log, not house log. just oversight on my part.

by the way @Astriel, your math is too complicated. I simply do this to figure out the answer: 100 / 0.05 and the answer is 2000.

Nim

100 / 0.05 and 100 * 20 are the same equation.

(teehee)

((it's funny because @ernam))

Sena

The (100%/5%) is explaining where the 20 comes from, it's not part of the math.

Erhon

100 credits, not percent.

Arador arrives from the east.

Zuysheam greets Arador with a sincere smile.

Zuysheam says to Arador in a rasping voice, "I have come up with a very short and happy tune."

(We don't do happy in Mhaldor @Zuysheam )

Zuysheam says in a rasping voice, "And it does have ale and... well, would you like to hear it?"

Arador says with a guttural, trollish accent, "Excellent. Let's hear it."

Zuysheam nods his head emphatically.

You frown at Zuysheam.

Zuysheam sings happily in a rasping voice, "I practise dwarven alechemy."

Zuysheam sings happily in a rasping voice, "Since humour never fails for me."

Zuysheam sings happily in a rasping voice, "I laugh and watch while you decease,."

Zuysheam sings happily in a rasping voice, "You are no match for my disease."

Zuysheam sings happily in a rasping voice, "Forgin seng, kelp and goldenseal."

Zuysheam sings happily in a rasping voice, "Are powerless in your ordeal."

Zuysheam sings happily in a rasping voice, "And once you croak - not resurrection."

Zuysheam sings happily in a rasping voice, "Awaits you but instead dissection."

Your eyes sparkle with amusement.

Zuysheam bows to the audience.

Arador gives a round of applause.

You laughingly say in a clear voice, "I...I'm speechless."

Arador says with a guttural, trollish accent, "An excellent song."

Saibel gives a few slow claps.

He's one happy thrall.
