r.i.p MKO bug with promo items, where I opened one and a good ~2500 mounts/pets came out all at once and crashed game whenever I logged in, and made GMCP parse that room. Couldn't play for a day or so, until they fixed me
So I'm reading through an older log of me vs. @Mizik to try and learn some serpent stuff, and I see something I missed in the combat spam...
[Curing]: TOUCH SHIELD You touch the tattoo and a nearly invisible magical shield forms around you. 4557[100] 3963[100] [100] [98] XX [.15.] [[asth clum nau stu shy reck ]] Lethe, a great white bat hurls herself futilely at a red lollipop's shield, becoming enraged as she is unable to strike at a red lollipop.

(A few IC months ago, Melodie was given a small present in the form of a puppet, much to her delight. Unrelated to that, she was also given a firecracker sometime later on. In the course of her day this month, she got an idea. An awful idea. A wonderful, awful idea.)
You ponder the situation.
You begin to wield a small firecracker in your left hand.
You begin to wield a puppet roughly resembling Tahquil in your right hand.
A puppet roughly resembling Tahquil, it is crude and does not yet show evidence of much craft.
It has 28 months of usefulness left.
It weighs about 2 pounds and 0 ounce(s).
Archai Ainly Sar'vet, Magna Araneae says to you in Mhaldorian in a deep voice, "Are you trying to obliterate that puppet?"
You say definitely in Mhaldorian with a flowing, cultured accent, "Yes."
Ainly snickers softly to himself.
You have emoted: Melodie begins the tedious process of trying to pry open a puppet roughly resembling Tahquil to place a small firecracker inside of its fragile body.
You say in Mhaldorian with a flowing, cultured accent, "Admittedly I haven't seen it done in the better part of two centuries, but I'll figure it out."
Archai Ainly Sar'vet, Magna Araneae says in Mhaldorian in a deep voice, "Bring it back Melodie."
You say in Mhaldorian with a flowing, cultured accent, "I will. And she will be the first to go."
You have emoted: Melodie shakes a puppet roughly resembling Tahquil roughly.
Dusk steals silently over the horizon and crimson and ochre engulf the firmament, their seductive tones beckoning the sun to its nightly repose.
A puppet of Tahquil explodes in a bright red flash!!! (Note: Text coloured bright red)
You have slain Tahquil.
You cackle hellishly.

Crazy weather we're having in Ashtan.
They wanted to freeze over Ashtan. No, I said. We can't let that happen; it would be wrong. I am the only one not to blame in this travesty.
