Achaean Raves

Suicide rushing giant entrance stacks is more fun than strategically picking off small stacks, imo. If you're going to go in, you go all in.

Agreed.  I mean we could all go find some remote room away from guards and shrines (hi bathtub).  But wouldn't seem fitting for an event of this magnitude.

Cooper said:

Yeah. Pretty pissed off that the main thing I've developed Cooper's RP about in the last 100 IC years just got destroyed. I don't know if I'm gonna stick around or not, that is pretty ridiculous. Dormant orders being destroyed, w/e, but an active order with ~10 active members and an active, important divine? That is just ridiculous.

I think what you mean is: "other orders being destroyed, w/e, but MY order? That's just ridiculous".

Rave: I always find it awesome whenever someone responds to my OOC messages or talks to me in tells after a fight (win or lose). I like being able to keep things in perspective so I don't get too caught up in bitter.

Skirting the hills along the Highway (road).

 Naga Warrior Kupo Bayt al-Azhan is here, shrouded. He wields Wrath of Aegis, a sinister war bow in 

both hands. Naga Antidas Wintermourne, Cultist of Vengeance is here, hidden. His face is partially concealed beneath a raised hood. He wields a Lupine bow in both hands.

You see exits leading northeast and west.

Your movement causes your magical shield to dissipate.

3456h, 4155m, 15798e, 18292w cexkdb- 03:40:15.544

Kupo moves over to block the west exit.

3456h, 4155m, 15798e, 18292w cexkdb- 03:40:18.107

Kupo ceases to wield Wrath of Aegis, a sinister war bow.

3456h, 4155m, 15798e, 18292w cexkdb- 03:40:18.459

Kupo begins to wield Desolation, savage fang of the Warlord in his right hand.

3456h, 4155m, 15798e, 18292w cexkdb- 03:40:18.715

Kupo begins to wield a blackened mithril buckler shield bearing the Divine Order arms of Aegis in his left hand.

3456h, 4155m, 15798e, 18292w cexkdb- 03:40:18.717

Kupo has just tried to perform an aggressive act on you.

3456h, 4155m, 15798e, 18292w cexkdb- 03:40:18.720hi

Raising your hand in greeting, you say "Hi!"

3456h, 4155m, 15800e, 18298w cexkdb- 03:40:19.344

Kupo utters a deep, rumbling laugh.

3456h, 4155m, 15800e, 18298w cexkdb- 03:40:21.254

Antidas moves over to block the northeast exit.

3456h, 4155m, 15800e, 18304w cexkdb- 03:40:23.744say nice to meet you both

You say, "Nice to meet you both."

3456h, 4155m, 15800e, 18304w cexkdb- 03:40:26.182bow

With a flourish of your arm, you bow deeply.

3456h, 4155m, 15800e, 18310w cexkdb- 03:40:27.482w

Kupo stops you from moving that way.

3456h, 4155m, 15800e, 18310w cexkdb- 03:40:28.256

Kupo moves over to block the west exit.

3456h, 4155m, 15800e, 18310w cexkdb- 03:40:28.958af

stand;get corpse;astralform

You are not fallen or kneeling.

3456h, 4155m, 15800e, 18310w cexkdb- 03:40:29.698

I see no "corpse" to take.

3456h, 4155m, 15800e, 18310w cexkdb- 03:40:29.955

You summon all your will to focus your aura. In a flash of blazing light, your aura consumes your 

body and nothing is left except your disembodied presence.

3456h, 3905m, 15800e, 18060w cxkdb@- 03:40:29.957(-250m, 6.0%) 

Antidas shakes his head sadly from side to side.

3456h, 3905m, 15800e, 17966w cxkdb@- 03:40:32.898

Kupo raises his hands dramatically and summons an icewall to the west.

3456h, 3905m, 15800e, 17966w cxkdb@- 03:40:33.313

Your grace is automatically removed.

The shimmer of divine protection fades from around you.

3456h, 3905m, 15800e, 17966w cxkdb@- 03:40:33.573

Close call trying to be cordial. Had a lot of fun with these guys hunting me down. Good first "real" combat experience I suppose. Wasn't sure how hostile they'd be upon me empressing my friend, but they came full force.

Edit: Reading over this I feel that walking in and greeting them with grace up is really childish, but it felt amusing at the time. Oh well.

Tvistor

That is an interesting complaint Cooper. "It's okay for change as long as it isn't really affecting anyone", eh? I recall that being the exact problem that led to this (amazing) event.

Rovelda

The event was out of my time, but I've enjoyed reading it now, and I love the style in which it is written. Big Hurrah for the writer!

I also love that there are changes. Truth is that I have nothing to lose with any possible change.

Shallam, it is not like you don't have any God. You have several, and one is the God of Valour!

With righteous fury Pentharian roared a challenge to Bal'met and his
allies. "You hide like a coward behind your filthy worms," he shouted.
"Come face us, dog! You and your fog-addled masters."

Was checking house help for my term. Then I realized Shaitan sneakily added himself as patron. Checked the other Houses.. and the patrons were all replaced. Checked HELP MHALDOR, and realized Shaitan's now patron as well. Does this mean... !!!!! 1) Keresis goan be eaten 2) Twin Lords are properly back now?

Obviously that means Apollyon's next on the chopping block...oh crap, I hope that's not on one of the realized timelines.

Ruth

Haha. It's not only Shaitan who's been replacing. Apollyon too. I'm highly expecting gods to be eaten anyway.

I think the rant is more of that Miramar's Order was considered one of the more active among the Te'Serra. With a rather unfortunate series of events that have crippled the Order prior to this(losing their Order priestesses, having their first temple destroyed, their goddess getting kidnapped, then getting a new temple only for it to be gone due to Miramar getting Bal'metted, Order members have experienced a severe case of Yank the Dog's Chain.

That's right, four tropes in one post. The late Miramar deserves that much.

Tahquil

If Apollyon gets chomped does that mean I'm perma-enemied, or that I'm unenemied without further fuffle?

Tvistor

I'm going to cry a little bit if my Keresis dies. We had good last words at least, and she gave me a new title.

My Vengeance lies over the ocean, 

My Vengeance lies over the sea, 

My Vengeance lies over the ocean, 

Oh bring back my Vengeance to me, to me!

It means you're perma enemied.

Was that from exposure to Achaean language or from a city language?

And for me personally, it was the amount of time I put into the order and the millions of gold I put into it getting us a clan, history for order, events, etc.

Tvistor

Okay, when you include the millions of gold, that definitely blows.

Sue them.

Cooper

I don't like to talk about what I -actually- do in the game, because then people won't think I'm an asshole who does nothing on the forums.

Achaean language. If it was Mhaldorian, would have eaten it.

Idelisa

@Ruth.  I lol'd just reading that.  Yay for inappropriately timed laughter at work!

Kaden

At the behest of Auriela. I logged in and got this letter:

---

You wish to consummate your marriage with blood? So be it.

Interfere with true Strength one more time and your wife dies for it.

We are always watching.

---

She seems particularly giddy about this. Or maybe that's just her being hyper at work right now? Hrm...

Surviving a seven minute mark assault while I was AFK eating dinner. "keep curseward" is so OP. (I'm so glad he didn't think of eliminating.)

I...did...Cooper just posted something word for word that I might post.

I think I need lie down.

Cooper

Do you want me to spend an hour looking through the forums showing you how many times you actually agree with me, too?

Tagg

I never agree with anyone ok, I'm a rebel.

Nizaris

@Iocun: Dammit. Why didn't I think of that? Lol.

I bet that when the Caspiite cultist hears Achaean speech, this is what he would hear:
