Edit - I know that on a City vs City basis we are in a weak position combat wise, we just don't have the firepower against Mhaldor, but of course IC Sobby isn't going to think that.
I hope that this can turn into more back and forth rather than a repeat trouncing, but time will tell.
I dunno, I'm not actually worried about facing Mhaldor, it goes back and forth with them.
Ashtan, on the other hand...is terrifying...I wince every time.
This is probably true and here's my opinion why. When Ashtan raids you, you know exactly who it is going to be and they are bringing the heavy hitters. Mhaldor has quite the spectrum of people (newbies to experienced) who like fighting and we just show up with what we got.
I'd rather it go back and forth than being a stomping everytime, that way both sides are getting enjoyment!
Same, we went in tonight as 3 (alrena, myself, kiet), just to drop a couple of shrines in the City as a response to @Sobriquet news post, but we managed a sanction and thought we should send a bigger message. Just so happened between shrine 1 and sanction more people logged in so we had a few more than expected for the tank, though we blew it at 1 since we already level 2’d earlier.
"More people logged in". I'll add that definition to the urban dictionary I think.
The Mhaldorian Siren, brought to you by Sartan and co. Home installation for free per heart extracted and offered.
Which, ironically, completely reinforces my point.

About damn time........
Shout outs to @Atalkez@Solnir@Xandir@Seragorn@Penwize@Halos@Farrah@Aralaya@Mathilda all for helping me out and keeping me sane throughout this whole process. I can't begin to explain how fun and rough this was at the same time. I wish I could do it all over again because of how much fun that was. Finally the crystal boi has turned into the crystal lord!!!
09:19:19 Upon a platform high in the clouds. 09:19:19 Sunset falls upon the arid landscape, the reddish light filtering across the horizon. A runic totem is planted solidly in the ground. The Disc of the Nocturne rests here, resplendent upon a circular pedestal. A transparent glass dome set upon six widely spaced silver rods curves over the centre of the platform. A mounted tsalmaveth watches this area carefully. A hooded nocturni, crackling with blue streaks of electrical discharge, patrols this area. A knight of the Atrament guards the area, hands poised on the pommel of a broadsword. There are 2 spectres of the Shadow Court here. 0:19:19 You see a single exit leading down.
09:19:35 You pet a spectre of the Shadow Court ingratiatingly
09:19:39 You say to a spectre of the Shadow Court in a modulated, silvery voice, "You should chase them down sometime."
* I move down a few rooms. *
09:20:50 The distant screech of a very displeased spectre echoes throughout the planetarium.
09:20:56 You crease your brow in a frown.
* I move back up. *
09:21:28 You say to a spectre of the Shadow Court in a modulated, silvery voice, "I wasn't serious about the chasing part, unless you really want to."
09:21:30 You scratch your head in confusion.
09:21:58 A series of screeching wails arise from the spectre in response.
09:22:42 You tilt your head to one side, rub your chin, and thoughtfully declare "Hrm."
09:22:50 Sobriquet arrives from the down.
09:23:11 You say to a spectre of the Shadow Court in a modulated, silvery voice, "Not sure if that's a yes or no, heh."
09:23:45 Once more, the spectre shrieks incoherently. Its partner turns and looks at it for a moment, then also joins in the screeching.
09:24:05 Sobriquet bows his head slightly and covers his ears.
09:24:37 You look about yourself, rubbing your chin thoughtfully.
09:24:45 You say to Sobriquet in a modulated, silvery voice, "What do you think?"
09:25:24 Sobriquet says with a heavy Delosian accent, "I think it sounds painful."
09:25:35 You say to Sobriquet in a modulated, silvery voice, "True enough."
09:25:58 You look over at a spectre of the Shadow Court and ponder him for a moment.
09:26:11 The spectres cease their insufferable screeching, and return to a more guarded poise upon the platform.
Finally got my hands on a tiger-skin pack. I just like the way it looks, and it’s hard to find.
give desc!
a tiger-skin backpack
Made from a soft, supple pelt of a tiger, the orange and white fur that covers this pack is streaked with those recognisable black stripes running down the length of it. Free of complex adornments on the outside, it has a single leather strap on the front allowing the owner to loop it over his or her shoulder for carrying, and a bit of cord for holding it closed. On the inside are sewn many pockets allowing the owner to store away a vast amount of items.
It weighs about 3 pounds and 0 ounce(s).
It bears the distinctive mark of Otoji Kanu Mei-ling (a denizen).

Let's preface this with the fact that this is my first ever MUD and everything is very new to me, after about four years of roleplaying I thought I wouldn't be surprised by this, but I was.
So I went to the black Warren at level 12 I'm a druid with plenty of health and mending, so I figured it wouldn't be a problem! So my companion Phoenixx and I started killing rats, and for some reason multiple of them agro on him, and he falls within seconds. For some reason they are all very weak to me, and I kill all of them within a few seconds, I mediate to recover some Mana and another rat comes in, so I try to fight it. Apparently someone up above didn't like me because they gave this rat way too much protein, because it killed me in two hits. So I don't and have my first run in with the Lord of the underworld and come back. I'm in a cool Forrest but I'm so lost.
So to regain my bearings I dive head first into the ground (like any sensible adventurer) and appear in my Grove near Eleusis, which contains a cairn stone. Curious about it I read it to find an incantation which when I read aloud seemed to have an unknown effect
After solving the riddle (I won't be posting and spoilers as to the solution) I found myself in the presence of Titania, the queen of dryads herself! But finding that location only brought more mysteries for me to solve, and now I spend way too much time there.
I’ve realized that responsibility is what keeps me playing Achaea. That is, I derive my fun from having IG responsibility. I had most fun when I was Regent or HL and when I wasn’t anything, I very nearly quit playing because I stopped enjoying it. So that’s what I did today; I had an epiphany.

You give a block of armour clay to Ggan'loth, the smith.
TWO HOURS of questing, 8 deaths, lost 4% of level 99. "tangible increase" of less than .1%
No kiss and tell @Puxi

Also retired Alyxeri. Thanks @Rangor and @Lyrin, squadding was fun while it lasted. Unfortunately the rest of the playing, not so much.
Apparently I am an arrow shooting goat....
Oh another one for you, after much heckling in Targossas:
I -think- it has something to do with PREVAILing while you are a goat. I think it's hilarious, not going to lie. I am no longer human, but a goat.
Oh yez
