Xaden

Deeming him ripe for culling, Rarahi Ahura Penwize Baker, the Relentless has reaped the soul of 

Silvaspinae with a single silent swing of her scythe.

Surely that should be 'his scythe' ?

ETA: Unless Penwize became Penny midway through that deathsight?

Bleak

He missed on the first swing and caught his fruits. The second hit. 

Antonius

Looks like the gender pronouns are coming from the wrong person in each position, assuming Silvaspinae is female.

Sobriquet

Why doesn't it surprise me that he has a Scythe already

Asmodron

A young fisherman has opened his veins, ending his own life.

@Atalkez, wishing he had never humgii'd Waking Echo:

Murad exclaims, "I give you Three Geckos!"
Atalkez attempts to stifle his amusement but cannot help laughing aloud.
You roll on the floor, laughing.

AND DEN?

Murad exclaims, "I give you Perfect Abominations!"
You snicker softly to yourself.
Atalkez rolls his eyes.

:dissapointed: NO AN DEN 

Kresslack

Within a portable potbellied stove, a tiny, sudden squeak is cut short by the vicious sizzle of the 

fire.

You stare implacably at a small cooking stove.

Armali

ATALKEZ runs the tip of a vulture's talon over the back of his hand.

Atalkez's eyes lose their focus suddenly.

Aerek blinks.

You say with an aristocratic, Hashani accent, "ATALKEZ."

You exclaim with an aristocratic, Hashani accent, "ATALKEZ!"

Aerek nods his head in agreement.

You say with an aristocratic, Hashani accent, "It's very emphatic."

Atalkez puts his hands on his hips and says "Huh?"

Aerek Ancyrion, Samathan Shieldwarden says, "I'm glad that ATALKEZ is visible when ATALKEZ does that."

I swear those death talismans are worrying me with what they'll do to combat balances.

Umm...

 A goblin guard rattles his tail in warning before he slithers forward to bite you.

A goblin guard arcs forward to sink his fangs in your ankle.

Your hearing is suddenly restored.

You are confused as to the effects of the venom.

Tahquil

No. You are not confused as to the effects of the venom. You are just confused.

One talisman acts like a caloric salve but without using salve balance, which alone can cause some upsets.

Crucible currently does some pretty good damage and if used correctly can splat a group. I can definitely see this thing used in Sanctions. Hoping it gets nerfed next classlead

The deathcape, if used right, can allow someone to have 150% increase of max health. I only see this as an issue for someone preparing themselves beforehand to go jump someone.

The quicker behead is only an issue with UW, so any future balance concerns will only be addressed there.



These while small do worry me about the beginning of a slippery slope. If certain perks like this that can affect combat are introduced, then there is a chance for more in the future. This would open the doors of "Get this for better offense/defense" which is just not a nice image for Achaean combat. We already have Arties that enhance speed and damage, I think that is as far as it should go, imo.

Aegoth

talon doesnt apply caloric over freeze. Health is largely moot in pvp due to % based attacks, and it's a 4min length anyway (most fights can last longer). If you're dying to a scythe behead, you're dying to a normal behead. 

What is there to worry about, aside from holo/crucible traps?

Thornspray / crucible traps.  The tears will be delicious.

Asmodron

Crucible + Deliverance. Imagine 5 Hit, then 5 waves of crucible, other members popping.

Cynlael

Don't see how crucible will be too hugely gamebreaking. Will only realistically be able to use one each raid (unless multiple people in a single group has one), and since the owner has to be in the same room as it, chances are they're dying with everyone else.

Talon is crap and has a fairly long cd anyway. Cape/scythe is exactly what Aegoth said.

Exelethril

Haven't really been in the loop but is the crucible taking the P2W model a bit too far or..?

Then again, subjectivity, I guess. It's the first time an artefact like this has been introduced and I don't know how it functions.

Antonius

You don't have to stay in the room with the crucible, just the same area, but if you want to spam room attacks to trigger it then you're going to die (unless you get the rest of your group to do it while you stay safe).

The concept is, I think, fine. Numbers may need to be tweaked but we'll have to wait until we've actually seen it used first.

Valkyn

Can the crucible be picked up by others and removed?

Never underestimate the players' ability to find ways to abuse things.

Kaillian burns to death at the searing behest of Antonius's soulfire.
Kaillian dies gasping for breath, asphyxiated by the power of Caefir Fist Will Rian-Nahundi's kai.
Rohalla burns to death at the searing behest of Antonius's soulfire.
Rohalla has bled out, slain by the might of Sir Antonius Agarwaen, Inquisitor of Heretics.
Rakkaro burns to death at the searing behest of Antonius's soulfire.
Rakkaro has been slain by the might of Minister Atalkez Al'Jafri, Exemplar of Truth.

(Order): Deucalion says, "I am quite pleased by all these fiery deaths."

Rohalla

Gilt says, "Gilt needs a gf. Poor bastard has yet to get laid. Probably why he dies so often."

Gilt says, "Mis..."

Valkyn

So that's how the death threats started?

They only think they have seen the last of me. My songs of terror live on. Fwahaha.
