And I was being chased by multiple things while sailing, and they were very large and of a nasty disposition.

Killing Cahin in raid defense is an Eleusian rite of passage.  There are probably more who have than haven't.

Jespar

Fitz

Moghedu finally allied with GoM, now it doesn't look like a bunch of rogues!

Verily

There are so many things I could rave about lately, but I'd look crazy if I were to list each individual one. Most of the involved individuals know how amazing they are without needing my word for it, anyway. So! @Lianca, thank you for being so exceptionally helpful and engaging these past several weeks.

^Speaking of characters who rp an accent.  But not everyone can be Gnaash, and I rarely mind those who are trying (in reference to the last page or so).

The reason it works so well for Gnaash is that he's not really typing out a particular accent or voice. He speaks as a troll whose first language wasn't Achaean. He doesn't butcher words to try and convey emphasis or inflection, or throw in a ton of apostrophes so that there's more of those than letters.

pull item from stocking

You reach into your stocking and pull out a card wrapped in a piece of paper. You quickly unwrap it

and as you read the words written on it, your understanding of the world improves.

show xp

You are level 85 (1st Circle of Celestial Power) and 40.0% of the way to the next level.

Welp, that's today's hunting done.

I want to like this more than once: I'd completely forgotten about my stocking!

The ground trembles underfoot as a huge wagon is drawn into the city, seventeen buffalo pulling the massive weight its progress aided by guards moving citizens out of the way.

Slowly the covered wagon disappears deeper into the city and only loud shouting can be heard as dust rises, and the crack of whips echoes.

A much lighter wagon retreats out of the city, the bellows of buffalo spilling into the air.

The Hashanite Menagerie at a statue of Ashaxei.
Swept and kept clean, the ground within this part of the menagerie remains charred and pitted, though free from rubble. The various noises of other contained beasts echoes throughout, bringing with it the scent of raw meat and fresh grass. A shimmering light reflects from the walls, the colours subtly changing as time passes. A runic totem is planted solidly in the ground. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the ground. Huge in size, a resplendent statue of Ashaxei is displayed. Damaris, the Learned stands patiently, ready to share her knowledge with those who seek to truly learn.  Verily Ravensong, Lunar Gaze is here. She wields a cavalry shield in her left hand. Azarak Alaric is here. He wields a Shield of Absorption in his left hand and a gleaming scimitar in his right. Wytch Queen Shirszae de Rothschild, The Poisonus Nynniaw is here. Her face is partially concealed beneath a raised hood.
You see exits leading north and west.

Sitting regally upright, the opalescent marble of this dragon statue glistens with a multi-hued sheen of colour. Although white, the minutely-fractured surface reflects the colours of various dragons depending on where the artistic piece is gazed from. Painstakingly etched from snout to tale, the intricate latticework of scales only heightens the realism, their pattern continuing to the majestically spread wings behind. Contrasting to the pale stone, two swirling orbs of black glass stare endlessly ahead, reflecting inner light through flakes of silver captured within. A small plaque of gold rests against one claw, its surface inscribed with scrolling words.

You read what is written on a statue of Ashaxei:
Ashaxei, the White Dragon of Han-Tolneth. Designed by Verily Ravensong and Lacertix Xenophidex.

For some reason the uneven number of buffalo is driving me insane. I can only assume one was way up front to make it more symmetrical but it's not specifically stated aaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Zeon

Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Kill them all for their horns.

For larger horse drawn carriages you'd have that Rudolph Red-Nose Reindeer thing where one's at the front of the pairs to act as the main guide when you yank the reins to make a turn. I've seen some like that for dog sleds too actually.

Tvistor

But what if it isn't, then everything is lopsided.

Tvistor said:

"But what if it isn't, then everything is lopsided. "

It isn't. There were 9 on the left and 8 on the right. So uneven, so asymmetrical, so lopsided. 

Edit: Added quotations, because forums is eating the quote box

Tvistor

Now return to your regularly scheduled raving.

Jonathin

@Tvistor: You're doing it wrong.

Daslin

@Tvistor bro, it's eight on each side, and one lead Buffalo.

Sena

It's actually three rows, with six on the left, seven on the right, and four in the middle.

Mannimar

@tvistor

I apologize for providing a clip in English

Anyway, quote: This isn't quotes. This is a rave now.

Trasiva tells you in Mhaldorian, "Bite with camus, then stab them with random venoms a few times."

Trasiva gives Seradai the once over.

3807h, 3689m, 18110e, 15800w cexkdb-12:56:09:051

Trasiva sinks his fangs into Seradai's body.

Seradai screams out in agony, struck by the effects of a vicious venom.

3807h, 3689m, 18110e, 15800w cexkdb-12:56:18:136

Trasiva pricks Seradai twice in rapid succession with his dirk.

Horror overcomes Seradai's face as his body stiffens into paralysis.

3807h, 3689m, 18110e, 15800w cexkdb-12:56:21:748

Seradai lies down and stretches himself out on the ground to take in the sun.

3807h, 3689m, 18110e, 15800w cexkdb-12:56:22:631

You glance over Seradai and see that his health is at 2165/5924.

[Harbinger]: Enemy health set to 5924

3807h, 3689m, 18110e, 15800w cxkdb-12:56:27:251

Seradai screams out in agony, struck by the effects of a vicious venom.

Seradai stiffens and drops dead as the venom proves too much for his system.

Seradai has been slain by Trasiva.

A starburst tattoo flares and bathes Seradai in red light.

Herbsies.

3807h, 3689m, 18110e, 15800w cxkdb-12:56:28:454

Malevolence Street.

A noxious, red-hued fog overwhelms the area with a thick, palpable vapour. Some graffiti has been 

scrawled here. It reads, "Our duty is to carry out His will." A runic totem is planted solidly in 

the ground. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the ground. There are 38 

bloodroot leaves in 38 groups here. There are 9 sileris berries in 9 groups here. There are 24 

pieces of kelp in 24 groups here. A vicious death adder is here, hood flared in warning. There are 3 

ginseng roots in 3 groups here. There are 2 goldenseal roots in 2 groups here.  Dreadborn Seradai is 

here. He wields a Wyvern's Lash in his left hand and Thoth's fang in his right.

You see exits leading southeast and northwest.

3807h, 3689m, 18110e, 15800w cexkdb-12:56:30:668

"Oops!" Trasiva exclaims with a bashful expression.

Talking to Tirac about falcon startle and all that, Calaurn thought it proned people and took their balance. When it was proven that it doesn't:

Calaurn says in Mhaldorian in a steady voice, "Bloody hell! All this time I was helping Sir Arador
to get off his mount for vivisect!"

I lol'd.
