Not sure if this is the proper forum but I was wondering if there were any updated House stats. I know they are posted for house weekends but I was curious as to the rest of the time.

Hello all,
With some regret, I deleted my chars since I no longer have the time (once again) to continue playing. Despite the small playerbase, I have not made much of an impact. I made about 5 chars that I ranked up to 30-40ish range.
Coming back from a few years hiatus, I still was not really able to recall the eq knowledge I once had and that was frustrating on its own but then I was not able to put in enough time to play to get it back either.
Just wanted to say thanks to Valor for this time around.
I think this is my 5th time leaving Darkmists. Hopefully I won't be back but if I do decide to come back, I hope Darkmists will still be around.
Later all,
Carlo

I'm sorry my presence has been lacking as of late, we are still finishing up with the home buying process. The inspection was today and everything went well, were comin' around the home stretch finally! I'm still not going to be able to make it to this house war weekend unfortunately. For those of you who do not know yet, my Grandma died on August 5th and we are going out to CA to spend some time with my family. I will be back Monday.
Conclave should do better this weekend, we got some new Wizards and hopefully we can put up a good fight  Have fun for me!

Yall were fun, I saw many folks pass and go but, I guess I'll talk at ya, I still got a few things running around!

Since for some reason I can not post on the map forum. Would anyone be willing to make a map for the sewers of glyndane since the guilds down there are difficult to find if you are a newer player

Was wandering through this place, orienting myself with it, and found out that you could kill at least one of the merchants. Is it intentional or bug?

For those who are curious about how it went:
Isimsiz has transferred you.
The Realm of the Dead
You are standing on an immense, grey stone floor that stretches as far as you
can see in all directions. Rough winds plunging from the dark, starless sky
tear savagely at your fragile body.
[Exits: north east south west]
(Bloodstained) (Black Aura) An amorphous blob of pure malevolence is here.
Vasae arrives from a puff of smoke.
You tell the group, 'off to workshop'
Perashxan arrives from a puff of smoke.
Vasae waves happily.
Lisyn arrives from a puff of smoke.
Ryune arrives from a puff of smoke.
Lisyn sits down and thinks deeply.
A heavy looking sack slips out of Ryune's pocket, but he swiftly catches it in his hand.
[ANNOUNCEMENT]:One slot left. Going once...
Twice...
Perashxan smiles happily.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'All right folks.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'This isn't going quite as I had planned, but as this is my first event this will do fine.'
Isimsiz chortles mischievously.
Perashxan grins.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Two no shows, and no IMP support.'
Ryune cheers and sings... he is just BURSTING with joy!
Ryune says, 'Yes we can'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Hence doing this in 1212 as opposed to transfering you someplace more desireable.'
Perashxan snickers softly.
Perashxan mentally projects, 'This works just as well'
Lisyn says, 'What better place than the realm of the Doom?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Okay, so let's go through this.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'First, leave your skills down.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Anyone tries to kill you, they deal with me.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'And it won't be pretty.'
Ryune throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!
Vasae nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Second, be civil. This is meant to be a CONSTRUCTIVE environment.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'let's try not to tear each other down; everyone's on different levels.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Third, we'll be going through all of the types of descriptions and providing you an opportunity to completely re-write or simply enhance what you do have.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Questions thus far?'
Vasae shakes her head.
Rixaral tells you, 'did you go to the seminar?'
You shake your head.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'The rest of you?'
You tell Rixaral, 'aye'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'I'm good.'
Rixaral tells you, 'Has it started yet?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Good.'
Ryune agrees absolutely.
You tell Rixaral, 'just starting now'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'So let's start...at the beginning.'
Isimsiz grins.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Your physical description. When are you required to have one?'
Rixaral arrives from a puff of smoke.
Rixaral bows deeply.
You say, 'lvl 6'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Someone update the corporal here.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'On what we've discussed thus far.'
You say, 'keep skills down'
You say, 'no violence'
Vasae says, 'By level five.'
You say, 'be constructive, not mean'
Lisyn says, 'Seven I thought'
Rixaral nods.
Perashxan shakes its head.
Ryune says, 'before reaching 6'
Perashxan nods in enthusiastic agreement with Ryune.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Correct.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'What is the minimum acceptable length a description should be?'
Rixaral mulls over the idea at hand. Please be patient.
Perashxan mentally projects, '6 lines.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Other guesses?'
Ryune nods in enthusiastic agreement with Perashxan.
Lisyn says, 'I'll go with...5'
You say, 'i would guess 5'
Vasae says, 'Six lines, yeah.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Lisyn is correct.'
Ryune snaps his fingers.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Five lines.'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'Help file should be changed then'
Perashxan winks suggestively.
Your description is:
A wiry looking little gnome at just over three feet in height is here before
you. His pale grey colored skin is dry and flaking all over. Thin stubby
arms dangle at his sides. His round face is fixed with beady black eyes
that lie below dark hair that is greased flat, parted and combed to the left.
A sharp hatchet of a nose sits above a mouth filled with crooked teeth.
He stands on legs that are chubby and have the appearance of links of
sausage.
Lisyn chuckles politely.
Vasae nods in enthusiastic agreement with Perashxan.
Ryune agrees absolutely.
Your research into that topic reveals the following:
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION COMMANDS
Syntax: desc + <text>
desc -
desc clear
desc show
desc showlines
desc <number> -
desc <number> ++ <text>
desc format
Lisyn says, 'Psh, my guess was purely based on skill'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Helpfile specifies six in case people truncate lines.'
Ryune falls down laughing.
'desc + <text>' adds a new line to your physical description
'desc -' removes the last line from your description
'desc clear' deletes all lines of your current description
'desc show' displays your current physical description
'desc showlines' displays your current physical description with
line numbers
'desc <number> ++ <text>' inserts a line on the specified
line number
'desc <number> -' removes a numbered line from your description
'desc format' wordwraps your description to 80 characters per line
To read more, please see 'help DESC POLICY'.
Perashxan nods.
You nod.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Anyway.'
Your research into that topic reveals the following:
DESC POLICY
A physical description tells others what you look like. It is your
appearance that provides a first impression to other characters and
gives a representation of the race to which you belong.
A good physical description contains information relating to a
character's size (towering, tall, small stature, etc,); build (muscled,
skeletal, medium built, et.); body covering (skin, fur, scales,
tentacles, etc.); facial characteristics including hair, eyes, nose,
mouth (or lack thereof).
Distinguishing features such scars, tattoos, deformities, and defining
clothing, weapon or accessories add depth to the character's physical
image.
A physical description must be completed by rank 5. It must be at
least six lines long and be relatively free of grammar and spelling
errors. Take pride in your character by taking enough time to make
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'How many of you feel that you can adequately get a robust description across in five lines.'
Rixaral starts moaning.
You say, 'It's possible'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Not a trick question. I'm being sincere.'
Your description is:
A wiry looking little gnome at just over three feet in height is here before
you. His pale grey colored skin is dry and flaking all over. Thin stubby
arms dangle at his sides. His round face is fixed with beady black eyes
that lie below dark hair that is greased flat, parted and combed to the left.
A sharp hatchet of a nose sits above a mouth filled with crooked teeth.
He stands on legs that are chubby and have the appearance of links of
sausage.
You say, 'But hard'
Rixaral says, 'It would be difficult'
Rixaral nods.
Ryune says, 'possible, but not preferable'
You nod.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Most players fail miserably.'
Perashxan snickers softly.
Vasae says, 'I can write a generically acceptable description in five lines.'
Perashxan chuckles politely.
Lisyn says, 'I think in trying to condense it to that much, it..doesn't work'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'I was going to give you some examples of horrible descriptions I've seen lately.'
Vasae says, 'But, they're pretty boring.'
Rixaral nods in enthusiastic agreement with Vasae.
Perashxan looks at Vasae.
Rixaral utters the word, 'aculazihz'.
Rixaral's spell fizzles.
Isimsiz growls at Rixaral. Better leave the room before the fighting starts.
You poke him in the ribs.
Rixaral winces in agony.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'No affects.'
Ryune says, 'ruh roh'
You say, 'no skills/spells up'
Rixaral blushes.
Rixaral nods.
Lisyn says, 'Bad Puppy?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'No cookie!'
Rixaral frowns.
Rixaral chortles mischievously.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'How many of you are prepared to completely rewrite descriptions.'
Isimsiz grins.
You say, 'I would, mine is pretty short.'
Rixaral peers around himself intently.
Ryune says, 'I'm not averse to the notion'
Rixaral looks at you.
Rixaral nods.
Perashxan nods.
The Realm of the Dead
You are standing on an immense, grey stone floor that stretches as far as you
can see in all directions. Rough winds plunging from the dark, starless sky
tear savagely at your fragile body.
[Exits: north east south west]
A large grey wolf is here.
Ryune the Quick is here.
Lisyn the Master Mystic is here.
Perashxan the Archmage Summoner of Demons is here.
Vasae the Armor Splitter is here.
(Bloodstained) (Black Aura) An amorphous blob of pure malevolence is here.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You can, of course copy your description over to notepad to keep your ideas cohesive.'
You nod.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'All right. On my mark.'
Lisyn says, 'I can'
You feel yourself speed up.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'you'll all type "desc clear"'
Rixaral gasps in astonishment.
Your description is:
A wiry looking little gnome at just over three feet in height is here before
you. His pale grey colored skin is dry and flaking all over. Thin stubby
arms dangle at his sides. His round face is fixed with beady black eyes
that lie below dark hair that is greased flat, parted and combed to the left.
A sharp hatchet of a nose sits above a mouth filled with crooked teeth.
He stands on legs that are chubby and have the appearance of links of
sausage.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'So copy to notepad if need be.'
Rixaral nods.
Lisyn says, 'Awh, I cleared my prematurely'
Lisyn pouts.
Ryune says, 'premature descripclearation?'
Rixaral snickers softly.
Rixaral says, 'Ive got three descriptions to write'
Ready.
Set...
Go!
Rixaral sighs.
Ryune says, 'that's a word right?'
Rixaral stops using a suit of blood-red armor.
Rixaral stops using some hard chitinous armplates.
Rixaral's fur shrinks away to nothing as it slowly stands up and takes on a new form.
Rixaral's body suddenly seems to flow into a new shape!
Your description has been cleared.
Your description, which is too short, is:
Lisyn looks at Rixaral.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Nod when you've done it'
Ryune stretches luxuriously. Kinda makes you want to, doesn't it?
Perashxan nods.
Vasae nods.
Ryune nods.
You nod.
Lisyn nods.
Lisyn says, 'Step it up Rix.'
Rixaral's thick brown hair recedes as it fluidly changes into a new form.
Rixaral's body suddenly seems to flow into a new shape!
Rixaral chuckles politely.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'All right. Now, there's no order to describing what you see.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Generally, your description should include the following:'
Rixaral's wings fold away and a new form takes its place.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Name em off, boys and girls.'
You say, 'race'
Ryune says, 'height, weight'
You say, 'eyes'
You say, 'hair'
Vasae says, 'Physical characteristics.'
Ryune says, 'clothes, gear'
Ryune says, 'posture, scars'
You say, 'are clothes supposed to be in there?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Don't forget any unique characteristics.'
Isimsiz nods at Ryune.
Lisyn says, 'Scars, tats'
Ryune says, 'scent?'
Ryune shrugs helplessly.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Some clothes are acceptable.'
You say, 'nose'
You say, 'fingers/arms'
You grin.
Lisyn says, 'Awesome relic of magical awesomeness?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You want to cover the spectrum of everything someone might experience when approaching you.'
You say, 'build'
Rixaral chortles mischievously at Lisyn.
Ryune says, 'quality of movement?'
Lisyn says, 'Weight'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'This includes everything mentioned so far.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'I challenge you all to engage all 5 senses.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'With your descriptions.'
Ryune says, 'expression'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'What are descriptions NOT to have?'
Rixaral says, 'movements'
Vasae says, 'Actions.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Remember, you want your character to be unique, without being over the top.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Actions are a big no no.'
You say, 'things that change regularly so cannot be always the same'
Lisyn says, 'Things that make the other person feel something'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Quick show of hands.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'How many of you change your character's descriptions as the character ages.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Or as RP events occur.'
Vasae raises her hand.
Ryune shows his hand
Perashxan nods.
Rixaral says, 'occasionally'
Lisyn shows his hand "For the latter"
Perashxan mentally projects, 'Usually.'
You say, 'very rarely, i would say no in general'
Lisyn says, 'I usually play elves'
Rixaral nods in enthusiastic agreement with you.
Lisyn says, 'Elves, are...hesitant to age'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Fair enough, lisyn.'
Lisyn says, 'But Rp events do shift the desc sometimes.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'I say this because descriptions should be dynamic.'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'New scars and what not.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Besides say and emote, they are one of the primary ways players interact with you.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Let's face it, what do you do when you see a char in the room.'
You no longer see invisible objects.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You "look"'
Ryune says, 'peek at it's inventory'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Or if you're greedy, maybe you "glance"'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'But generally you get a flash of the description, right?'
Ryune nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'It should tell you something significant about the character.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'So here is my challenge to you all.'
Rixaral nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Engage five senses. Be unique, without actions or CAPS. and spell it right!'
Ryune says, 'I've a question regarding actions'
Lisyn says, 'I speel it gud'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Ask away'
Ryune says, 'what if a char has a particular emote often employed, could a corresponding description be put in? For example...'
You say, 'isn't taste one of the 5 senses?'
You boggle at the concept.
Ryune says, 'Descrip says: Ryune is often seen flipping a coin in the air.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'It is. I said it was a challenge.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'That would be considered an action.'
Ryune says, 'and always bad?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'What happens when you are knocked out, or swimming underwater?'
Ryune says, 'That's why it says often?'
Rixaral says, 'sleep flipping?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'We want to stick primarily to what can be experienced in a glance.'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'How about something like this....'
Ryune nods.
Lisyn says, 'A variant of the question'
Lisyn says, 'I am a time mage, I do time things can things related to time, be in affect on the description'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'Upon noticing this creature, your eyes begin to burn from the acrid haze surrounding it.'
Lisyn says, 'Similiar but not same, for the elemental forms'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Nope.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Quick.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Someone make Perashxan's line work as a description line.'
Ryune says, 'This creature emits a burning acrid haze.'
Rixaral nods in enthusiastic agreement with Ryune.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Good.'
Lisyn says, 'This creature exhibits a burning acrid haze that lingers around it's form.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Also good.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'And acceptable.'
Perashxan nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Before I let you have a few minutes to begin re-writing, let's brainstorm a bit.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'I'll ask each of you to offer up your own individual thoughts, and then open up the floor.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Let's do this alphabetically.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Lisyn. You're up.'
Rixaral looks at Lisyn.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'In one "say", tell me the most distinguishing features you wish to portray with Lisyn.'
Lisyn sits down and thinks deeply.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'The rest of you can start thinking about your own answers to that question when I call upon you.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'To cut down on wait time.'
Isimsiz grins.
Lisyn says, 'I'm unsure if this is a physical feature, but his youthful exuberance, and the fact that he is still young in elven terms. He's very, bright, soft looking.'
Your skin feels soft again.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Good. The rest of you. What might that entail. Suggestions please.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You can take these or leave them, of course.'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'Smooth skin/ no wrinkles'
You say, 'bright eyes'
Vasae says, 'Soft eyes. A clear expression. Soft features, no facial wrinkles. Good posture.'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'full head of hair'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'straight posture'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'What about a clean smell, perhaps of some kind of flower..'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Something fresh.'
Rixaral agrees absolutely.
Perashxan mentally projects, 'Lavender'
Vasae says, 'Lilacs or lavender.'
Ryune says, 'The woods'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Attire?'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'Modern clothing?'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'whatever that would mean'
Perashxan chuckles politely.
Rixaral says, 'mage clothing..robes'
You say, 'doesn't clothing in a description contradict what we wear?'
Vasae says, 'Something that a young adventurer might wear.'
Ryune says, 'Tight fitting, bright colors, items gleaming'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'There's a gap to bridge between description attire and worn attire.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Generally my personal rule is to keep description attire simple and focus on a few distinctive items.'
Rixaral nods.
Lisyn says, 'Something I've always imagined, is typically a tight set of clothing so one isn't..well, nude. Leather armor'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Leave the rest up to what is worn physically.'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'Also you talk about how the equipment is worn'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'What about other senses. We've got sight and smell down'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'Whether its well kept, loosely fitting..'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Taste...well, heh, we'll ask a flayer.'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'That's what i was trying to get at with the acrid haze'
Lisyn flirts with Perashxan, flutters his eyelashes at it.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'What about other senses.'
Ryune says, 'His clothing could be of a certain material--touch'
Vasae says, 'He's an Elf, so he's probably pretty quiet. Maybe something akin to the wind.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Good. This is solid.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'next.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Perashxan'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Get it out in one say.'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'I wanted to focus on the leathery texture of skin'
Isimsiz holds up 1 tentacle.
Perashxan mentally projects, 'And also my satchel and all the gorey goodies it contains'
Perashxan looks around and whistles innocently.
Ryune says, 'by the way, if i'm quiet it's cause my pinky is in my baby's mouth'
Isimsiz nods at Ryune.
Rixaral gasps in astonishment.
Rixaral looks at Ryune.
Rixaral chuckles politely.
Perashxan snickers softly.
Ryune apologizes profusely.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Anything else Pera?'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'And I like the idea of the acrid haze that stings the back of your throat'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'and makes your eyes water.'
Perashxan shrugs helplessly.
Perashxan mentally projects, 'but that's probably too active'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You could allude to it as an acrid smoke that makes breathing difficult.'
Perashxan nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Allright, opening the floor up.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Any suggestions to the flayer.'
You say, 'skin is good to compare to things. rough like tree bark or something'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Simile is good. Compare colors and textures to the familiar.'
Lisyn nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Mauve is abstract. what else do we experience as mauve in color.'
Lisyn says, 'A question'
You say, 'what's in the satchel that you want people to see?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Right.'
Isimsiz nods at you in agreement.
Lisyn says, 'Mindflayers are very psionic'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'Bones sticking out'
Lisyn says, 'Right?'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'aged leather'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You're permanently flying, likely some slime.'
Ryune says, 'This creature's flesh, with a sticky texture of cow hide, emits an acrid haze that...'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'What do you smell like.'
Your research into that topic reveals the following:
ILLITHID
The history of the Illithids was well documented by the historian Thomas
Wright around 1000 years ago. It's too bad he was a mindless slave of the
mind-flayers at the time and was fed to a group of bugbears shortly
thereafter. Little is truly known about Illithid society, but what
knowledge we do possess has been pieced together from more fanciful tales
than fact. It is known that the Illithid race centers itself about a
central brain entity, but not a trace of this being has been seen. Little
else is known about the Illithids except that every encounter with them
has lead to death and destruction. Never speaking a word the creatures
have communicated one thing very clearly...their hatred of all other
races. Since they have let themselves be known to Therans, it has been
noted that Illithids who were influenced to live a life of balance or
goodness cannot perform magical incantations.
Illithids stand about 6' tall with hideous mauve skin that glistens with
slime. Their heads resemble an octopus, with white pupilless eyes and four
tentacles protruding from where a mouth would normally be. The creature
has three fingers and a thumb on each hand; its fingers have a reddish
cast, though the rest of the hand is mauve. It is unknown how these
creatures reproduce or if they even have different sexes. Illithids have
weak bodies, but their mysterious ability to affect the minds of others is
said to be unstoppable. One Psionic Blast from an Illithid can
incapacitate a victim enough to turn the tide of a battle. They are
capable of flight through psionic levitation, and are resistant to all
types of mental attacks, as well as magical effects. These attributes make
them some of the most powerful magi in all of Thera yet their weak bodies
prevent them from taking part in any "warrior" guilds. Having evolved
far beneath Thera's surface, light is one of their true banes, and it is
said they cannot abide the warmth of flame.

Perashxan mentally projects, 'Death.'
Perashxan chuckles politely.
Perashxan mentally projects, 'Musty'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You can also include references to your guild here'
Lisyn says, 'Rotted'
Rixaral says, 'rot'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Do you wear robes of undeath'
Rixaral glares at Lisyn.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'are they neat, tattered?'
Lisyn flirts with Rixaral, flutters his eyelashes at him.
Perashxan nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Etc.'
Rixaral snickers softly.
Perashxan mentally projects, 'As for mauve, I would compare it to the color of a bruise.'
Vasae says, 'Fetid. Repugnant.'
Your force shield shimmers then fades away.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Good.'
Ryune says, 'Ooh repugnant, nice'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Feel free to go into detail about your minor features. Clawed hooked hands.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'club feet.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'And of course use words with lots of texture when possible.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Next.'
Lisyn says, 'Flipper hands!'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Rixaral.'
Rixaral nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Ine one say, spill it.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, '*in'
Isimsiz grumbles and growls. You wonder what's wrong...
Rixaral says, 'A short stocky creature with amorphous features, emitting a strong and confident personality.'
Rixaral says, 'A base changeling is humanoid, correct?'
Rixaral shrugs helplessly.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Correct.'
Rixaral nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Frail, pale, weak in constitution from eons of enslavement and inbreeding'
Rixaral nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You could even be albino if you want'
Rixaral nods.
Rixaral says, 'At first, my instincts were that descriptions like that should be in the psych part'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'All right, this is just for base form. What about wolf and bear forms. We'll leave bat because it's mostly obsolete at hero.'
You say, 'base changeling i always like to see as almost jelly like bones, flexible looking'
Rixaral nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Rubbery, almost?'
You nod.
Rixaral nods.
You say, 'No hair'
You grin.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Okay, fire off wolf and bear, so we can provide complete feedback.'
You say, 'bald as a baby, ready to change shape into something'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'The goal is to be on psychs by 30 past'
You say, 'featureless in some ways'
You nod.
Rixaral nods.
Vasae says, 'Wolves and bears. Fur, muscular. A wolf is graceful; a bear is strong and powerful. Sharp fangs and deadly claws.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Do you see teeth, or no teeth.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'tongue and mouth in general?'
You say, 'keep similar features among all forms, same hair color or eye features...something'
Rixaral says, 'claws, whiskers, and such'
You say, 'or scar the same on all creatures'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'If you choose albino that should follow through the other forms.'
Rixaral says, 'color of fur, smell of breath'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Right.'
Rixaral says, 'ah, i didnt think about unifying all creatures with a similar color'
Rixaral says, 'good idea'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'How about distinguishing features.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Scars, deformities, etc'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Abnormal size'
Rixaral nods.
Vasae says, 'All four forms might be missing an eye. Or a a finger.'
You nod.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Also, do your animal forms smell like "dog"'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Or you know, unbathed animal'
Rixaral says, 'would limps, or tics..be appropriate in descriptions?'
Rixaral nods.
You say, 'should be'
You say, 'limps when he walks or something?'
Rixaral says, 'yes'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You shouldn't describe the limp as an action'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'But rather the cause of the limp'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'A short leg'
Rixaral says, 'more of ..ok'
Rixaral nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'A wound'
Rixaral nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'whatever'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'That restricts movement'
Rixaral says, 'ok, that makes sense'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You're obviously not limping while sleeping'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Any other suggestions?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'seeing none...'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Moving on.'
Rixaral nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Next.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'ryune.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'one say'
[ D-Elf ] Ryune the Quick
Ryune disappears into the void.
Ryune has left the realm.
[ Ilthd ] Perashxan the Archmage Summoner of Demons
Vasae quirks an eyebrow.
You shrug.
Rixaral blinks.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Baby issues.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'He said he might disappear.'
[ Chnge ] Iqaruys the Cut-Throat
[52 Ilthd AVA] (PK) Isimsiz the Black, Avatar of Anguish
A hideously deformed purple oozing mass of slime, rot and mold floats
here absorbing light, heat, and emotion from its environment. It
appears about the size of a large human but lacks any defined form. A
bulbous and amorphous blob, the...thing feasts on any positive energy
that comes within close contact. A strange black aura of pure hatred
surrounds this bizarre amalgamation of a creature. While its physical
form lacks much in the way of definition, a bulbous head periodically
appears, revealing a pair of yellow-ish white creamy eyes, about the
size of a dragon's nostril. Just below the "eyes", several writhing
slimy tentacles with shark like razor-edged teeth form around a beak
shaped "mouth". As the creature moves, other vague shapes appear and
disappear within the ooze: a pair of skinny appendages with hooked
claws, perhaps "arms", and some club "feet", propeling the mass from
place to place. A sickening squishing sound is heard whenever it
moves, followed by a hollow crunching sound, as if a giant were gnaw-
ing on some bones. Occasionally as the form shifts, various clothing
becomes evident that might fit on different normal body parts of a
bi-pedal creature: a purple cloak of freeze-dried elf veins, a warped
and cracked shell of an enchanted ancient tortoise, and various other
things catch your eye. Those who continue to look at it too long will
surely experience a growing sense of sheer terror overwhelming their
senses as their hopes and dreams, along with any will to go on living
eventually slip away.
Isimsiz is in perfect condition. (100%)
Isimsiz is using:
<worn around neck> (Quiet) shroud of Silence
<worn around neck> (Blue) a brittle cloak of freeze-dried elf veins
<worn on torso> essence of the Void
<worn over eyes> an opaque lens of eclipse
<worn about body> a dark robe bathed in moonless midnight dye
<wielded> (Bubbling)(Oozing) a slimy tendril ending in a mouth of razor-sharp teeth
<held> (Glowing) (Humming) a still-quivering elf brain
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'That means Torel's up.'
You say, 'I would say that he is physically unimpressive, pudgy, not intimidating in that way. But also has a devious look, cunning, dark unholy'
Isimsiz nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Pudgy, perhaps with greasy skin?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Food stains on clothing?'
You nod.
You say, 'not dirty so much'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Acne?'
Isimsiz grins.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Devious looks to me usually implies small beady eyes'
You say, 'More scars than acne. I'm a punching bag, so want to show my battle wounds in some way'
You snicker softly.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'All right, come up with some distinctive scars perhaps then.'
You nod.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You can go into detail about fat folds.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Rosy cheeks?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Clean and neat hair and appearance, slightly disheveled?'
You nod.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Are you in cleric garbs, soldier garb?'
You say, 'cleric'
You nod.
Vasae says, 'Might want to put a chevron on your shoulder indicating rank. That was a big thing in Covenant.'
You nod.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Good idea'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Definite emphasis on diminutive size'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You can allude to the fact that he is easy to overlook.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Glasses also may add to your unintimidating look'
You nod.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'As for the mischief/devious side'
Rixaral nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'you might rely on accessories'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Something foul in a vial.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Like unholy water'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Tied to a belt around your waist'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Or a prayer shawl with a crescent mooon'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'moon being with two os'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Long day.'
Isimsiz sighs.
You grin.
Your research into that topic reveals the following:
Name: Rungekutta
Rungekutta was once a mortal; a magus in the service of the
House of Arcana, leading it to glory alongside Lord Riallus, who is now
the Lord of Neutrality. As a mortal, he studied the path of Necromancy,
working tirelessly to extend his life through the process of lichdom.
His research brought him knowledge of the universes deepest secrets, and
an understanding of death, life and unlife beyond that of any mortal. He
always sought to learn more, finally giving his mortal body up to live
out eternity as a lich. He sought the advice of the legendary Nel'Shadan
in the lands of Nightfall, but instead of finding a contemporary, he
found a crazed entity, driven mad by centuries of sloth and isolation.
Seeing the false eternity lichdom offered, he renewed his
studies into the workings of the universe, finally impressing the
Pantheon enough with his knowledge that they granted him a place among
them. In exchange, he utilized his unique understanding of the universe to
shape it as the heavens deemed appropriate. Now he is the Lord of Worms;
patron and master of all the forces of Decay and Corruption in the world.
His power stems from the inherent impurity of all living things; all
things rot, whether physically or through hypocrisy regarding their
beliefs. So long as men betray each other or flesh rots, the Lord of
Worms shall flourish.
He is also the deal-maker; he offers power and forbidden
knowledge to all that will pay. The only currency he will accept,
however, is that of souls. Those who seek to follow him should be
prepared to offer their souls unto him; it is rumored that those
who accept his blessing are granted life eternal. Those of any path
may request his mark, but those who are not of the Darkness must prepare
to suffer the consequences for abandoning their path to follow that
of the Lord of Worms, thereby giving themselves up to Darkness.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Any other suggestions?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'half these sods are too busy writing their own descs to offer input.'
Isimsiz smirks.
Perashxan looks around and whistles innocently.
You chuckle politely.
Vasae looks at you.
DESCRIPTION WRITING TIME!
Ready.
Set...
Go!
*you hear a whip crack in the distance*
Perashxan mentally projects, 'You told me to!'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Get to it.'
Lisyn says, 'Hrm'
Lisyn says, 'Okay'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Okay Vasae.'
Vasae looks at Perashxan.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You're up. one breath.'
Vasae says, 'Elegant, beauty, and grace. As a Dark-Elf blade dancer, it absolutely permeates everything the character is. When I describe then, I want them almost tangible.'
Lisyn looks at Vasae.
Lisyn says, 'Oh, your a female. Hrm.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Okay.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Opening this up for inpute.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Posture is key.'
Vasae nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You may also want to include descriptions that highlight a dancer's physique'
Rixaral nods.
Lisyn says, 'Some time spent on how your body is'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Slender and shapely legs'
Lisyn says, 'Muscles, build, etc'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Perhaps revealing enough to be tantalizing, but also demure.'
Rixaral says, 'well toned,'
Vasae nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Clothing should likely be free flowing, and minimal.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'PG-13 of course.'
Lisyn says, 'aka, chainmail bikini'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'Well defined calves.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Well. Depends on how reserved and chaste Vasae wants to appear.'
Vasae nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'But certainly a loose fitting blouse makes more sense than plate armor.'
Lisyn says, 'Leather, it can be more covering, but still offer decent freedom'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Hair, skin and nails.'
Vasae says, 'Yeah. Something that's easy to move about it and won't restrict or block movement.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Perfectly manicured?'
Lisyn says, 'less on jewels and baubles'
Vasae nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'It's hard to capture movement and elegance without action, right?'
Perashxan nods.
Vasae nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You can describe it as regal in some sense'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Head held high'
Vasae nods.
Perashxan mentally projects, 'Straight back.'
Lisyn says, 'in mid-writing, it is very hard to convey grace without action'
Isimsiz nods.
Vasae says, 'Lithe and perfectly proportioned.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'It will have to relate back to how she carries herself.'
Vasae nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Dark skin, what about hair color, eye color'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Eyelashes, extremely feminine?'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'How is the hair styled.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Confident, reserved?'
Isimsiz looks at Rixaral.
Vasae nods.
Perashxan tickles you - ho ho ho.
Vasae looks at you.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'What about smells, sounds, etc.'
You grumble distractedly to yourself.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Does she perspire? is she clean and neat, grimy from combat and training?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Are her legs longer than typical?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Or arms for that matter?'
Vasae nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Fingers, hands and nails.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'It's worth discussing all of it.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Okay. That should be good.'
Isimsiz looks closely at you.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Who is still working on theirs?'
Perashxan nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Obviously Vase.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Vasae.'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'I am almost done.'
Vasae says, 'I am.... I haven't even started yet! I was listening!'
Vasae says, 'I'll whip one together really fast.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You get more time, don't worry.'
Isimsiz looks closely at Perashxan.
Lisyn says, 'I'm about done'
Lisyn says, 'Doing clothing'
Vasae looks at Lisyn.
Lisyn says, 'Imputing it into the game has always troubled me'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Pera. Line 9'
You say, 'still working, almost there'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'you misspelled waist, "waste"'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'Good call'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Also, line 12'
Lisyn says, 'Two distinct things that.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'What little "of its skin" not "skin of its"'
Lisyn says, 'Is wordwrap at 72 characters or 80?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Should be 72'
Isimsiz mentally projects, '80'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Nevermind.'
Isimsiz looks closely at you.
Isimsiz looks closely at Lisyn.
Isimsiz looks closely at Vasae.
Vasae says, 'Eep. I'm workin in wordpad.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'I strongly recommend using notepad++ for anything DM related.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'It's freeware'
Lisyn says, 'Is that the same as note-pad note..nevermind'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Psychs should be easier. They're really for IMM use. So don't worry about taking a little extra time on your description.'
Isimsiz looks closely at you.
A pudgy little gnome of about three feet in height is before you. His
skin is a pale grey color and is dry and flaking all over. His arms and
legs are so chubby that they have the appearance of links of sausage.
He has a round face with a hatchet of a nose that sits above a mouth
filled with crooked, broken teeth. The smell of his body odor is
strong and reminiscent of the smells one would notice in a butcher
shop. The midnight black hair on his head is cut short, greased flat,
parted and combed to the left. Beady black eyes that seem filled with
hate and cunning are close together beneath a single bushy brow that
runs above them. He is covered in scars that have been mended with
the very best healing possible. A small tattoo showing his rank in
the army is at the base of the left side of his neck. His flowing black
clerical robes are marked with a crescent moon which radiated an
unholy aura.
Torel is in perfect condition. (100%)
You say, 'Ok, that's what I have right off...'
Isimsiz looks at you.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Line 13, Torel.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Radiated or radiate'
Isimsiz nudges you.
You say, 'radiate, got it'
Isimsiz nods.
A young student of channeling asks Lisyn to teach her the proper method of empowering weapons.
The skeletal remains of past victims appear before Perashxan, and begin to chant rhymes of death!
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'We all posing now?'
Isimsiz casually summons a lesser demon from the astral plane to wipe the sweat from its brow.
Lisyn nods.
You nod.
Long golden hair drapes down the back of this youthful looking elf. The
shimmering tresses frame the soft looking eyes which shine a brilliant
sapphire when open. The youth's expression seems to be commonly clear,
exhibiting an essence of pure youthful optimism. The youth emits a
strange scent of the forest, a clean scent like that which follows a
spring rain. The build of the elf is lithe, the grace attributed to his
race is shown in the way he carries himself, with a minimalistic
approach to movement, and a softness to his steps. He is clad in an
leather outfit, solid black; the darkness of his clothing contrasting
with his pale skin. Around his neck, lies a small pendant, within is a
hourglass made of diamond.
Lisyn is in perfect condition. (100%)
Isimsiz looks closely at Vasae.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'We'll let vasae Wrap up.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Meanwhile, I'll run through psychs.'
Breathing becomes difficult when in proximity to this strange creature, due
to the acrid haze that surrounds it. The dark, foglike aura seems to
completely enwrap its body which makes discerning features difficult. A strong
stench of must and rot, however, is pervasive.
The creature itself is tall and thin, always floating a few inches from the
ground. It wears loose-fitting ebon robes that cover most of its body
and only stay in place due to a thin belt made of elf skin that cinches
around its waist. It also wears a dark cowl over its head, and through the
haze little can be discerned of its facial features. Only burning red eyes
can be clearly seen as they glow from underneath the veil. What little
of its skin that is uncovered, is of a very odd texture and color.
Its skin is colored similarly as to if it was permanently bruised, yet it
is not swollen. The texture appears to be similar to cowhide, with
an overlay of clear mucous that occasionally drips to the ground below.
Over its shoulder, a worn satchel loosely hangs. Cracked and burnt in various
in various places, it is apparent that this relic has endured many eons.
The material seems to be damp towards the bottom of the satchel and a strange
viscous liquid seems to leak from it. The satchel itself is closed with a
skull shaped clasp, yet still various bones such as femurs, tibias and
rib-bones stick out from the opening.
Perashxan is in perfect condition. (100%)
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Looking at all of them you all have the gist of it.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'The rule here, is to keep psychs neat, orderly, and easy to read.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'I encourage people to use outline form.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Bullet points. Clauses rather than full sentences.'
Perashxan nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Subheadings for related psychological issues.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'For instance:'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Xathen's psych may have read something like'
Isimsiz mentally projects, '-->Xathen is extremely full of himself'
Isimsiz mentally projects, '---->Refuses to take orders from anyone.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, '---->Will not join any group he does not lead.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'etc.'
You tell Perashxan, 'in the last paragraph the end of the firs sentence ends in various, then repeats in various beginning the next line'
Lisyn nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You want to paint a clear picture of your character's actions and decisions.'
Perashxan mentally projects to you, 'thanks'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'The more succinct you can be, the easier it will be for us to decipher your character.'
Your description is:

the army is at the base of the left side of his neck. His flowing black
clerical robes are marked with a crescent moon which radiate an
unholy aura.
Your psychological description is:
Greedy and prone to scavenge and save money and other things he finds.
Low on trust, only comfortable with those he's known a long time or followers of his god.
Cowardly, afraid to fight alone in general unless he has an advantage.
Enjoys watching other suffer and inflicting suffering when he can.
Looks to the future, planning for personal control over his safety, influence and comfort.
Though he can create plots and lie well enough if he wants to, more often he tells the
truth as he sees it, even when not socially or politically acceptable to do so.
He often uses his prayers to make new allies to fight for/with him and gather him wealth and power.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Torel, you're a good example of a well written psych that could be broken into more subheadings.'
You say, 'subheadings?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Right'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Heading1: GREEDY'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'subheadings: scavenges things he finds'
You say, 'heading as in put it before the sentence or something?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'subheadings: tries to squirrel his money away'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Right.'
You nod.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'I'll give you some snippets of mine from when I was a mort.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, '---The Very essence of Evil---'
Isimsiz mentally projects, '---Lacks all emotion---'
Isimsiz mentally projects, '---Exists solely to cause pain, despair and suffering---'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Short, easy to understand.'
Dark Mists will automatically save your character for you from time to time and when you quit the game.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'When you start writing long sentences.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'It gets muddled.'
You nod.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Lisyn, you've done a nice job numbering yours.'
You say, 'so skip the sentences all together is better way to do it?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'However, you could make these more brief.'
Lisyn nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'It is easier on imms trying to get a snapshot of your character.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'That's why fizzy implemented the background section'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Which we'll discuss shortly'
You nod.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Much of your psych right now could be moved into background'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'We're talking about highliting nuances about your character's behavior.'
Lisyn says, 'Whose?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You'
Isimsiz points excitedly at Lisyn!
Your background description is:
Raised in the city of Glyndane, this small gnome was constantly picked on and
beaten by other kids around his age. He had no great skill physically and was
not very well educated, either. Cut, bleeding, sometimes to the point that
would have resulted in his death, Torel was constantly being healed by
the local healers. One day, upon growing a bit older, a strange sensation
overwhelmed him. To this day he cannot explain why, but he was drawn to worship
The Lord of Worms, Rungekutta. A sense of his future, of power, security and a jumble
of other emotions lead him to obey the calling and become a cleric of the dark lord.
Since that day he has come to power through his worship and prayers. Learning
to use his god granted abilities for self protection, to harm enemies and to make allies
who need his talents to strengthen themselves, thereby being there to fight for him, as well.
The same kind of people that beat upon him as a child, now call to him for help.
He takes great pleasure in manipulating them to his gain, watching blood be shed and death
being dealt to his enemies or random strangers at times. And in the meantime he can hide behind
them all and become more powerful by the day, seeking a truly secure and mighty future.
Lisyn says, 'Ah. Aye..I think I had Lis before the Background..but maybe not hrm'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Unless a specific event triggered a behavior.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'The events themselves should be in the background'
You say, 'Huh, didn't even remember I had written a background'
You boggle at the concept.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Leaving just the behaviors.'
Isimsiz chortles mischievously.
Isimsiz looks closely at Lisyn.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Looking good, pera'
Perashxan nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Feel free to flesh out more psych issues as you come up with them'
Vasae says, 'If I may, I do have a quick question regarding descriptions now that I've thought of it. It can wait, too.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Ask away'
Vasae says, 'When is long too long? Is there such a thing?'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'There's a line limit to descriptions.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Mine is about 25 lines long.'
Vasae nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'But I wanted to be completely macabre.'
Vasae says, 'I think the limit is something like fifty lines. But, I've never reached it before. That would be an incredibly massive description.'
Vasae nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Chances are only hardcore RPers will read a full description.'
Vasae looks at Isimsiz.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Of that length'
Lisyn nods.
Lisyn says, 'I like long descriptions, but at some point...well, in a actively PK environment'
Lisyn says, 'You could be dead by the time you finish'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'I think 30 is a good cap'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Even that can be intense.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'It's a lot to digest'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Vasae, your psych is creative, but you get a little lengthy with your justifications'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Vasae will not make a trophy from a body-part given to her. She will only craft from her own kills.'
Smaller than her high-borne cousins, this Dark-Elf woman stands no more than
five and a half feet tall. While her body is smaller than most of the other
sentient races of the land, the drow's beauty and flawlessly formed frame makes
up for any lack of size. Every muscle, line, and curve of her body is in per-
fect proportion to every other, making it seem as though her flesh and bones
were wrought and forged by the hands of the gods and goddesses themselves. The
black skin that adorns her body is as lightless as a vein of unearthed coal,
while the long, flowing hair that slips down her shoulders and back shimmers in
a way that only freshly fallen snow can. The slender ears that jut forth from
the sea of ivory strands mark her as obvious faerie-kind and the lavender eyes
that sit within the sockets of her skull glow warmly from within. It would be
impossible for even the most daft and inept to mistake her for anything besides
the gender to which she obviously belongs, given her abundant bust, gracious
hips, and long, curvacious legs. Her youngest years behind, she could no longer
be refered to as an adolescent, but the lack any wrinkles upon her form and
her perfect posture would indicate that she is many decades away from middle-
age. Upon her left shoulder she bears the tattoo of a simply-crafted dagger.
The ink, formed of various shades of whites and grays, contrasts very starkly
against her colorless flesh, giving to the artistic creation what almost appears
Vasae is in perfect condition. (100%)
Vasae nods.
Vasae says, 'It is a bit long.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You could easily shorten that to - Will only make trophies from her own kills.'
A pudgy little gnome of about three feet in height is before you. His
skin is a pale grey color and is dry and flaking all over. His arms and
legs are so chubby that they have the appearance of links of sausage.
He has a round face with a hatchet of a nose that sits above a mouth
filled with crooked, broken teeth. The smell of his body odor is
strong and reminiscent of the smells one would notice in a butcher
shop. The midnight black hair on his head is cut short, greased flat,
parted and combed to the left. Beady black eyes that seem filled with
hate and cunning are close together beneath a single bushy brow that
runs above them. He is covered in scars that have been mended with
the very best healing possible. A small tattoo showing his rank in
the army is at the base of the left side of his neck. His flowing black
clerical robes are marked with a crescent moon which radiate an
unholy aura.

Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Maybe that imm will bring the bully back to life for you and now that you're a big hero, you get some comeuppance.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'And so forth.'
You nod.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'The more creative you get, the more creative we can be in response.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'As a general rule, we try not to roleplay AT people but WITH them'

Your character has an OOC notepad on which you may write and save certain

Isimsiz nods.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'All right, now the best part.'
Lisyn says, 'I've got it all in my buffer'

==========[LOTS OF LOOKING AT EACH OTHER]==========
Long golden hair drapes down the back of this youthful looking elf. The
shimmering tresses frame the soft looking eyes which shine a brilliant
sapphire when open. The youth's expression seems to be commonly clear,
exhibiting an essence of pure youthful optimism. The youth emits a
strange scent of the forest, a clean scent like that which follows a
spring rain. The build of the elf is lithe, the grace attributed to his
race is shown in the way he carries himself, with a minimalistic
approach to movement, and a softness to his steps. He is clad in an
leather outfit, solid black; the darkness of his clothing contrasting
with his pale skin. Around his neck, lies a small pendant, within is a
hourglass made of diamond.
Lisyn is in perfect condition. (100%)
Smaller than her high-borne cousins, this Dark-Elf woman stands no more than
five and a half feet tall. While her body is smaller than most of the other
sentient races of the land, the drow's beauty and flawlessly formed frame makes
up for any lack of size. Every muscle, line, and curve of her body is in per-
fect proportion to every other, making it seem as though her flesh and bones
were wrought and forged by the hands of the gods and goddesses themselves. The
black skin that adorns her body is as lightless as a vein of unearthed coal,
while the long, flowing hair that slips down her shoulders and back shimmers in
a way that only freshly fallen snow can. The slender ears that jut forth from
the sea of ivory strands mark her as obvious faerie-kind and the lavender eyes
that sit within the sockets of her skull glow warmly from within. It would be
impossible for even the most daft and inept to mistake her for anything besides
the gender to which she obviously belongs, given her abundant bust, gracious
hips, and long, curvacious legs. Her youngest years behind, she could no longer
be refered to as an adolescent, but the lack any wrinkles upon her form and
her perfect posture would indicate that she is many decades away from middle-
age. Upon her left shoulder she bears the tattoo of a simply-crafted dagger.
The ink, formed of various shades of whites and grays, contrasts very starkly
against her colorless flesh, giving to the artistic creation what almost appears
to be a surrealist quality. The clothing she wears is free-flowing, doing very
little to restrict any movement she may desire to take. The necklace of a shield
imprinted with a rabbit hangs from her throat and adorns her bust, while a soft,
almost imperceptable aroma of lavender emanates from her form.
Vasae is in perfect condition. (100%)
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'if you email it to me I will post it to the announcement.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'So everyone can benefit vicariously.'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'You guys get prizes though don't worry!'
Isimsiz grins.
Perashxan snickers softly.
Ryune has entered the realm.
Perashxan cheers and sings... it is just BURSTING with joy!
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Welcome back.'
Ryune blinks.
You grin.
You see nothing special about him.
Ryune is in perfect condition. (100%)
You say, 'we're all pretty now'
Ryune sheepishly bows.
You cackle gleefully.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Feel free to finish that description up'
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'If you want to be voted for.'
Your description is:

You nod.
Ryune chuckles politely.
You tell Vasae, 'was just changing the last two lines when you looked  '
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Ryune, unfortunately you missed the remainder of the workshop, but torel is going to send me the log and I will add it to the forum for you to read.'
You nod.
Ryune says, 'Much thanks, sorry I had to duck out'
Ryune looks at Perashxan.
Isimsiz mentally projects, 'Not a problem. Want to finish rewriting your description here or back out in the world.'
Ryune says, 'I'll stay, I've got some good inspiration here folks'
Isimsiz cloaks its presence.
Isimsiz nods.
Lisyn says, 'We gonna wait for him to finish?'
Ryune shakes his head.
Vasae looks at Ryune.
Ryune says, 'please dont, may be awwhile'
Isimsiz says, 'Waiting for the other votes.'
Lisyn says, 'ya sure?'
Ryune says, 'I still may have to duck out if the baby demands my attention'

===============[MORE LOOKING]================
Breathing becomes difficult when in proximity to this strange creature, due
to the acrid haze that surrounds it. The dark, foglike aura seems to
completely enwrap its body which makes discerning features difficult. A strong
stench of must and rot, however, is pervasive.
The creature itself is tall and thin, always floating a few inches from the
ground. It wears loose-fitting ebon robes that cover most of its body
and only stay in place due to a thin belt made of elf skin that cinches
around its waist. It also wears a dark cowl over its head, and through the
haze little can be discerned of its facial features. Only burning red eyes
can be clearly seen as they glow from underneath the veil. What little
of its skin that is uncovered, is of a very odd texture and color.
Its skin is colored similarly as to if it was permanently bruised, yet it
is not swollen. The texture appears to be similar to cowhide, with
an overlay of clear mucous that occasionally drips to the ground below.
Over its shoulder, a worn satchel hangs loosely. Cracked and burnt
in various places, it is apparent that this relic has endured many eons.
The material seems to be damp towards the bottom of the satchel and a strange
viscous liquid seems to leak from it. The satchel itself is closed with a
skull shaped clasp, yet still various bones such as femurs, tibias and
rib-bones stick out from the opening.
Perashxan is in perfect condition. (100%)
Isimsiz says, 'We have a winner.'
Isimsiz rubs its hands together in greedy anticipation.
Isimsiz says, 'Drumroll, please'
Ryune does a drumroll on his legs.
Isimsiz says, 'Perashxan!'
Isimsiz shows its approval by clapping its hands together.
Lisyn pulls out a base guitar and plays.
You clap at its performance.
Ryune gives a round of applause.
Lisyn shows his approval by clapping his hands together.
Perashxan beams broadly at nothing in particular.
Isimsiz says, 'You get...'

Perashxan smiles happily.
Lisyn says, 'I'm good'
Lisyn bows deeply.
Lisyn says, 'Thanks!'
Perashxan mentally projects, 'It was fun.'
Ryune waves happily.
Isimsiz says, 'Thanks all for your participation. I hope you got some benefit from this.'
Perashxan agrees absolutely.
Perashxan mentally projects, 'Very much so.'
Lisyn says, 'I look good'
A small army of animated ice-cream and cookies arrives to serve Lisyn.
A divine presence has transferred you.

I am in need of someone with some graphics design abilities. Specifically to mimic some graphics in use on various pages of the DM website. I want to put the finishing touches on the current website, but as I am not a graphics expert myself, nor do I currently have the proper tools needed to work with these images, I am hoping a player or two will step forward to help out. If you are interested in helping out and have the stated ability, please PM me, and we can discuss.

I recently checked the poison helpfile and noticed
several interesting factors. I do know that it was
split into physical, magical and divine poisons.
Having attempted to check both aps, necromancers,
and clerics, I notice that 'poison magic' and 'poison divine'
spells are not available to the players. Was this
intended or forgotten?

Only interesting thing last week was a Housed guy who -- upon seeing that his House powers were gone -- quit out, logged in with an alt, and raided the enemy House with that alt. Both characters were denied for the multicharring.
While this case was clear-cut, a fuzzier situation can occur, where you use more than one character to forward the goal of a House/clan that your alt is in. For example, it would be pretty disgusting if the alt of a Crusader was an enchanter who occasionally donated alchemy funds to Crusader.
This is why sometimes people come up with this social rule that you can only have X number of characters in Houses and so forth; unfortunately, it is very difficult for most players to separate their characters. Sometimes it crosses the line.

I was listening to this song by Disturbed and I thought of a Berserker in Valor immediately. Here's the lyrics to see who else agrees with me.
"I'm Alive"
Never again will I be dishonored
And never again will I be reminded
Of living within the world of the jaded
They kill inspiration
It's my obligation
To never again, allow this to happen
Where do I begin?
The choices are endless
Denying the sin
My art, my redemption
I carry the torch of my fathers before me
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Change again, cannot be considered
I rage again, dispelling my anger
Where do I begin?
The choices are endless
My art, my redemption, my only salvation
I carry the gift that I have been blessed with
My soul is adrift in oceans of madness
Repairing the rift that you have created
I am not alone, brothers, give me your arms now
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm no slave
Are you feeling brave?
Or have you gone out of your mind?
No more games
It won't feel the same
If I hold my anger inside
There's no meaning
My soul is bleeding
I've had enough of your kind
One suggestion, use your discretion
Before you label me blind
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
To change myself, I'd rather die
Though they will not understand
I won't make the greatest sacrifice
You can't predict where the outcome lies
You'll never take me alive
I'm alive

No, they're not deleted. They were moved though (so immortals can still access them for old information as needed).
The "World of Thera' forum was also added to the bottom of the list. I expect these maps to also hit the main website, but for ease of use I put them here, too!

This week's Wall of Shame was almost blank, but we had a couple last-minute entries.
Our first incident was with a guy who killed mobs with his high level character and then switched to his low level character to grab the equipment that was on the ground. He had something like seven characters that had all done this kind of thing, and we happened to look at the logs and see his most recent action, leading us to the larger list. We like to look to see if someone has a habit of a particular rule-breaking; most of the time, people do. At any rate, he politely and voluntarily deleted the characters involved. He has other active characters that are uninvolved and still playing, so this is a positive case where a player was caught breaking a rule but did not throw a tantrum, mass delete, and post a goodbye note.
Our second incident was a little less mature. In order to get around the MUD's description requirement at level 5, Kopekolduren copied the description from a mob in the gym and pasted it multiple times. He was hauled into the Realm of the Dead to fix the description, and he quit out. Later, he logged in in front of an Immortal who, as part of her RP, was level 2 at the time. He looked at her and proceeded to copy her description.
The shocked Immortal said, "Uh.. No you don't."
Kopekolduren responded, "Uhh, yesssss. Go kill yourself."
I imagine if he was a native English speaker, "kill" might not have been the word he would have chosen. Regardless, the Immortal wizied up, forced Kopekolduren to clear his description, and demanded he do it right. He eventually did and was released from custody, where he may continue to terrorize other female players with long descriptions. Hopefully he contributes to the game's RP atmosphere in other ways besides his description.
A quick note on our RP atmosphere... Immortals can only do so much. The playerbase is largely responsible for the kind of gameplay they want on the RP spectrum. It is always much easier to get into character when people playing with you are also in character. We have a lot of OOC here for the tiniest things that could easily be RPed and not break the mood. I am not sure how to approach that situation other than to, myself, be an example when I play mortal characters. And please... if I have my OOCs turned off, don't force your way around it. That's just rude.

I don't know how, or why, but my computer ker-died. I have been unavailable as I have had to requisition an old tower (i'm talking 7 year old tower MINIMUM) to get back online. I'm going to attempt tower-to-tower transplant surgery to try to resussitate my new Tower, and hopefully not screw up parts on both towers.
Here's hoping I don't end up offline for a long time.

Thanks

So I tried raiding Saelnalis and it was fun for the first 30-40 minutes... and then I got hit by major lag:
<1258hp 377mn 331mv> ooc saelnalis
[OOC] Saelnalis: Good fights none the less.
<1258hp 377mn 331mv> ooc saelnalis give me like... 10 minutes... hopefully it'll go back or something, yea good fights. I almost died this
[OOC] Saelnalis: I'll let you go just this once!
<1258hp 377mn 331mv> ooc saelnalis give me like... 10 minutes... hopefully it'll go back or something, yea good fights. I almost died this time.
Kug yells, 'Chargem!'
Your nerves begin to settle down and you do not feel as invincible.
<1258hp 397mn 375mv>
[OOC] Saelnalis: I need to quit as it is, so no harm no foul.
<1258hp 397mn 375mv>

You are able to recall again.
<1258hp 407mn 419mv>

<1258hp 407mn 419mv>
Nododoci yells, 'Hrm.. what?.. oh.. rrraaaaaaooooorrrr!!!!'
<1258hp 407mn 419mv>
Nododoci has arrived.
<1258hp 407mn 419mv>

<1258hp 407mn 419mv>
[CRUSADER] Nododoci: I do not see anyone in my range

Do you play DM and live in the bay area? You want to hang out tomorrow, December 30th? If so, PM me. I am driving up to visit some DMers in Santa Cruz, so we could all hang out. Sorry for the short notice!

I apologise to Conclave and the Players aspiring to the House for my absence of late. Between a side project and my recent promotion to assistant manager at International Clothiers, I haven't had a lot of time to get onto the Mud as I would like to, or that I had when I was just a part-time associate.
So do forgive me for the next little bit while I try to get everything arranged. I don't promise my playtimes are going to return to the levels they were at historically, but I won't be far from the realm either.

I would like to note the area changes made recently to an area formerly known as the Blight. If people haven't been here yet, they should go and see the hard work some of the Imms have been up to.

I notice SGuides for a few classes in the idea forum. Can anyone some for warrior subs. Specifically berserker. Kudos to Vinnesh and Kargeth for their experiences that helped me thus far.
