It reminds me of a shardblade wound from Stormlight Archives. Just severs the soul from that portion of the body and causes no overt wound.
The cull instantkill does just that. You basically scythe through them and rip out their spirit writhing in agony, all as their body crumples lifelessly to the ground.
I wish I could put a death scythe on my shadow scythe.
Yeah it's infinitely weird to me that you can't upgrade the death scythe to an L3 DW scythe. Having two scythes is weird. Then again most talismans and their complete lack of customisation is weird and one of my biggest gripes right now.
@Makarios said they were considering it a long while back, but I assume they either decided against it or that the idea slipped through the cracks.
I've never posted on these Forums and probably never will again... but I wanted to share this
Bending your will upon Arcturus, you raise your hands, bringing them together in a resounding clap.
Blood begins to run from the nose and ears of Arcturus as his face contorts in horror. Two sickening
pops sound as his eyes explode in their sockets, fluid dripping from their ruined confines in a
parody of tears. Then with a definitive crack the skull of Arcturus crumples inward, his corpse
dropping bonelessly to the ground.
You have slain Arcturus.
You have learned a new Attainment ability: Dragonhood.
Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 99.
You have completed the Ashaxei's Brood resolution! Congratulations!
You just received message #1274 from Achaea.
You just received a group of 15 mementoes!
You have reached the illustrious level of Greater Dragon.
"Fond
thoughts of your homeland, Mhaldor, fill your head as you leave it, ready to
embark on new adventures elsewhere."
Did this way too late at night after months of stalling. It was Magical while it lasted, Mhaldor. Seriously, this experience has changed both my character and myself in all kinds of crazy, mostly positive ways - Ilira has grown so much, and I know I didn't know many of you ic or ooc, but you've genuinely impacted me in real life. Thank you for some fun, absolutely wonderful times, and unforgettable interactions.
Remember when you were young? You shone like the sun. Shine on, you crazy diamond.
Today I learned that if you headslam a dragon trying to devour you, the fraction of a second of stun you inflict will interrupt devour. Found this out after a particularly troublesome dragon kept repeatedly blocking me from getting away and then cornered me to start a devour, and I decided "Screw it, if I'm gonna die, I'mma do something silly."
For bonus points, this was roughly my reaction when I discovered it actually worked.
I also realize that curare will work, but the amusement inherent in "I'mma eat you!" -headslam- "NO!" is just too great not to use it.
She foiled the plot against the Lion Throne of Istarion and saved the royal family.
This series of quests was soooo much more intuitive than the ones on Yggdrasil.
Thank you @Alycia for inspiring me to do this. Now to see if I can't finangle a spider mount!
Yo, congrats! I've been stuck on one particular part of that for nearly a year now and endlessly confused, but I'm glad to see someone else grab it. Serious props.
So as for what I've done today... Didn't read documents thoroughly enough and realised far too late I couldn't put -'s in family clan suffixes... meaning my attempt to retain my old suffix without a city just wasted a million gold total. Oh well, lessons learned?
Just wanted to give a shoutout to @Thaisen, @Tarvius, @Elyra, @Zbaco and @Lyvia for working with me for the Dragon Lair. Cannot wait to finish the foray! You guys are amazing!

I think I got lucky in that our normal murder hobos were for some reason absent from Istarion all of Saturday afternoon (Pacific) so I pretty much an uninterrupted run to do the entire quest twice (once to learn and botch, the second to actually do).
Penwize has explorer rank #1 with the title a Worldwalker.
Didn't think this would ever happen. Thank you explorers change!
That's cool. What were the changes?
<div>ANNOUNCE NEWS #5047 (05/24/2019 at 18:23) </div><div>From : Nicola</div><div>To : Everyone</div><div>Subject: Exploration!</div><div>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div>Exploration has been in a bit of a sticky situation over the past many years, and we've finally sat</div><div>down and decided to revamp it. This comes in a few separate changes of varying degrees.</div><div><br></div><div>First, the dreaded rule of threes. Bane of explorer and coder alike. Some of you know about the</div><div>rule, some of you don't, but previously only one in three rooms in Achaea counted for exploration, </div><div>and which rooms were selected was a bit arbitrary as far as their actual placement was concerned. </div><div>This led to a lot of areas being worth significantly more or less than they should have been, in the </div><div>grand scheme of things. This rule is no more! Now, some of you may realize that this causes a bit of </div><div>an issue, with what was and was not tracked being moved over to the new system. Fear not! Your </div><div>current progress has been updated based on exploration in rooms that were nearby, or that were pre-</div><div>requisites to reach your current room. Keep in mind that there are a few exceptions, such as special </div><div>exits, hidden rooms, and a few more, so if one of your top-secret hidey-holes didn't count for </div><div>exploration before, you'll likely have to revisit it.</div><div><br></div><div>Second, old areas. From the single rooms lost to a building collapse, to the large temples lost when</div><div>a Divine was slain, countless rooms have lingered in a state of limbo, counting towards exploration </div><div>progress while being inaccessible to the entirety of the game. This has been rectified, and in most </div><div>instances should no longer be the case. Our goal is for exploration to evolve alongside the world of </div><div>Achaea, and this change should help your ranking more accurately reflect your standing within the </div><div>Fellowship of Explorers. For those of you who own an Explorer's Tome, feel free to keep an eye out </div><div>for any rooms or areas that we've missed in our cleanup, and BUG them accordingly.</div><div><br></div><div>Third come stockrooms. Some of the most highly-guarded and valuable-filled rooms in the game that,</div><div>as far as the Fellowship of Explorers is concerned, amount to little more than a dusty cabinet full </div><div>of boxes and bins. Given the strict security in place for these rooms, the lack of meaning tied to </div><div>them, and the extremely low turnover rate of shopowners, the Fellowship of Explorers has decided to </div><div>stop considering stockrooms when evaluating a member's progress.</div><div><br></div><div>Lastly, for those of you without an Explorer's Tome, keeping track of your progress can be a bit of</div><div>a hassle. Fear not! A cartographer has set up shop in Delos, where you may purchase blank maps for a </div><div>measly sum of five thousand sovereigns. These single-use items can be used to gain a rough estimate </div><div>of your exploration progress in an area, via SURVEY FOR MAP.</div><div><br></div><div>So, what does this all mean? All in all, your exploration ranking should now be a much more accurate</div><div>reflection of your status as an explorer within the world of Achaea. It should mean that your hard </div><div>work to worm your way into every last crevice of a particular area won't go to waste due to a room </div><div>that simply isn't tracked by the system. It should make exploration more inclusive, and competitive, </div><div>across the entire game, and bring a system that's been long overdue for an overhaul much more in </div><div>line with more recent systems.</div><div><br></div><div>Best of luck, explorers!</div><div><br></div><div>Penned by My hand on the 21st of Miraman, in the year 801 AF.</div>

Reaching down with a massive hand, Sartan lifts your head and draws a taloned finger across your throat, the wound closing as He does so.

This is what I love about Hashan, caring enough to rescue people from drowning even if they are enemies.
300 credit cache. Nice.
As you open an interlocked cache a bright light shines from within.
Nuff said.

We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.
