Yeah I doubt that would be quietly included. It seems like it would be at the forefront of the announcement. Personally, I lean towards liking it tbh...

Keorin

I didn't like much of anything that was actually in the post, but this is pretty cool.

Namino

You can't sanction Azdun as there's no allied PCs to kill to build to it. Only allied places to cities work. This is a huge advantage because expecting nomcoms to avoid Jaru during a raid is a lot less disruptive to their playstyle than their home city. Anyone in Jaru during a raid is most likely looking for a fight, so it's more likely that everyone's there by choice.

Also removes guard stacks. I did see a Deuc worldburn on the Jaru raid last night which felt a little icky to me, but besides that, super cool.

Don't remove it.

Atalkez

Worldburn in a village is so much easier to deal with than in a raid itself. Most shrines have a guard stack on them so dusting it or using the DW anti-shrine ability is very difficult.

Within a village you have many more options to handle it.

Skye

Hoisting his pickaxe, a dwarven labourer swings at a large chunk of rubble, crumbling the stone into a more manageable size beneath his powerful blows.

Striking with an overlarge shovel, a dwarven labourer hoists a load of stone and dirt over his shoulder.

A dwarven labourer sifts through the rubble, shifting aside stone after stone.

A dwarven labourer departs, only to return a moment later dragging a sling full of supplies behind him.

Setting hammer to nail, a dwarven labourer continues the arduous task of rebuilding what once stood.

All these hardworkin dwarves making me thirsty.

(Targossas): Kaios says, "Ha! Did not realize mending douses fire... I've been carrying around several buckets of water."

I've always loved some of the things real novices do. Brings back such fun memories.

Rackham > Jayden, Sonje, Telinus, Astarod, Archaeon, and Vinzent raided and blew tank. Chubbs, Messa, Maajida, Lorath, Jocindi, and myself attempted a defense.

Fair enough.

Wouldn't call it memorable, but we're trying.

Never led a raid defense before, and it's painfully obvious how much I don't know.

You did great! You got a group of people to try to get outside their comfort zone and stand up for their city. Not many other people can do that, and I'm excited to see how you grow with each fight we have.

You can DM me on discord if you want to ask for any tips/tricks on how to improve as a Depthswalker/Raid Leader. 

[also, not being sarcastic, I mean all of this]

Lots if it is experience, and also adapting to changing circumstances. Good luck and great job!!!

Me telling the group I may be sparse due to work over the next couple weeks. Got a genuine chuckle out of this response:

(Party): @Cobault says, "A trial? What are you a fucking gladiator?"

Ismay

(Removed cause, I don't know why, but I did) says with a mesmerising, shallamese accent, "She deserves a good dicking too."

^^ The kind of stuff you run into while harvesting/extracting. Don't know the context, and I don't wanna know.

Archaeon

The accent gives it away too

In case the Siren tag was too low key

Reyson

Your aura of weapons rebounding disappears.

The world dissolves around you as you step across the boundaries between planes, settling upon the legendary battleground of Nishnatoba.

Inside a small tent. (indoors)

You see a single exit leading out.

As you somehow find yourself within a disassembled bundle of cloth and wood, you find yourself without room to breathe or move, and you rapidly suffocate to death.

You have been slain by misadventure.

Storytime!!

Astarod tilts his head and listens intently to you.

You say with an archaic, Eastern accent, "It was about... Fifty years ago, now. I was a novice in Targossas, but had made great strides in hunting and trying to push myself to be as strong as I can as quickly as I can. I felt incredibly confident in my ability, due to how swiftly I was progressing - I felt like a natural. At the time, I was an Unsworn in the Dawnblades."

You say with an archaic, Eastern accent, "There was a festivity similar to this one ongoing at the time, and someone - Tesha, I believe? - suggested an arena game. A free for all, for instructing methods of sparring other adventurers."

You say with an archaic, Eastern accent, "There were those who had achieved dragonhood, and those who hadn't. The groups fought those between themselves. It went well, for a while. People fell, people learned. I watched, contributed what I could in the chaos."

You say with an archaic, Eastern accent, "Then, there came a piece of silence wherein people wanted to see what the two most promising novices were capable of. I was pitted against another of similar standing, and we were told to have at it and see who could kill the other first without using methods such as, say, cleaving."

You say with an archaic, Eastern accent, "Now, prior to this, I hadn't actually... fought another adventurer. I didn't know how. ...In truth, I believed it to be just like fighting a denizen."

You sway back and forth.

Icraa's eyes sparkle with amusement.

You say with an archaic, Eastern accent, "So... I just... swung. I only swung. Whack, whack, whack, over and over. No venoms. ...And the one I sparred did the same to me."

The corners of Martien's mouth turn up as he grins mischievously.

You say with an archaic, Eastern accent, "This went on for... about three minutes. Straight."

You say with an archaic, Eastern accent, "Whack. Sip. Whack. Sip."

Martien whispers with a measured Hashani accent, "Oh -no-."

You say with an archaic, Eastern accent, "Eventually, we were told to break and instructed to study kill paths. It was... quite awkward."

You say with an archaic, Eastern accent, "The entire city at the time saw us doing this in the arena, watching us, expectant."

You say with an archaic, Eastern accent, "...But... it was a learning experience."

You blush furiously.

Absolutely no idea what happened there. Don't even think Vinzent had all the relics. Relics aren't something I really keep track of. Hence the 'No, what?"

Targ hit the big 2-0-0 this morning so I threw together a special prayer on the fly. Because I care about this big bunch of dingbats, I guess. Joke's on me, because mid-prayer:

You say quietly, "We remember Your sacrifices and those of Your followers."

@Sothantos says, "We remember in Your names."

@Tesha says sothantosly in a mellifluous voice, "We remember in Your names."

(people echoing)

You say, "We honour Your centuries-long legacy."

Sothantos says, "We honour Your names."

Tesha says sothantosly in a mellifluous voice, "We honour Your names."

(people echoing)

You say warmly, "We vow to work in Your names for Creation, above all else."

(clan): Sothantos says, "Did you trigger this to me."

Tesha says sothantosly in a mellifluous voice, "Did you trigger this to me."

Jayden smiles and chants with a refined Shallamese accent, "We work in Your names."

Ygia chants with an archaic, Eastern accent, "We work in Your names."

(clan): Tesha says, "Omg wait."

(clan): Tesha says, "Omg wait."

(clan): Tesha says, "Omg wait."

(clan): Tesha says, "Omg wait."

Tianondria says in a soft, sweet voice, "We work in Your names."

Yellara leaves, following Tesha to the west.

Aelius says with a rural, eastern accent, "We work in Your names."

Sothantos says, "We work in Your names."

Yellara arrives, following Tesha from the west.

(clan): You say, "I am dying."

(clan): Sothantos says, "Lmao."

Tesha clears her throat in an attempt to gain everyone's attention.

(clan): Sothantos says, "Lmao."

Tesha says in a mellifluous voice, "We work in Your names."

You have emoted: Lyndee pauses, collecting her thoughts for but a moment.

You say, "So mote it be."

(Amens)

(clan): You say, "I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU."

Tesha says in a mellifluous voice, "Ahem."

(clan): Tesha says, "Rofl."

Sothantos says, "Amen."

Amen. 

Cobault

Tesha is one of my favourite people in Achaea, yet  never really get to interact with.
Didn't even get to interact much when I was in Targ. It's unfortunate.

Sothantos

(Party): Astarod says, "Achilles stay here."
(Party): Achilles says, "Ok."
(Party): Achilles says, "I can manage."
(Party): You say, "Oh."
(Party): You say, "Oh no."
(Party): Astarod says, "Do you see."
(Party): You say, "It tilted."
(Party): Astarod says, "It stopped tilting."
(Party): Astarod says, "I think."
(Party): You say, "You two don't move."
(Party): Astarod says, "Soth, go west."
(Party): Astarod says, "I'll go east."
(Party): You say, "One or two?"
(Party): You say, "Alright."
(Party): Astarod says, "See."
(Party): Achilles says, "Stable."
(Party): You say, "Hm."
(Party): Astarod says, "Killing caddis."
(Party): You say, "Achilles, do not move."
(Party): Achilles says, "I've been training for this day all my life."
