The Mountain of Shadows RP in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, February 12 2006 20:11 Profile Homepage #517 IC: Sequoia brandished the halves of his staff like a madman, clubbing and zapping wolves. The anger had seized control of his limbs, unaware of the fatigued state of his body. As Sequoia lunged to club another wolf with a glowing chunk of his staff, the demon lunged down at him. The druid turned around to find the demon a foot from his face. It shrieked, and then clawed Sequoia across the chest. The pain was intense, and Sequoia's mind lurched in its rage as the demon retreated a few paces. The druid bellowed out a spell, and launched a blinding lance of light at the fleeing demon. Aim deadly to the end, the beam pierced the demon's hideously-twisted flesh, and it dissipated in a cloud of black dust. Sequoia collapsed, clutching his bleeding chest. Tuulentekija reached the druid as he hit the ground, as the few remaining wolves fled the room. Sequoia could hear a few wolves yelp as they left (probably hit by Melora's knives, he thought), and soon all was quiet again, save for the sound of smoldering paper. "Brother! Are you alright?" Tuulentekija shouted. Sequoia muttered something under his breath, and felt himself slowly losing consciousness. The anger subsided as his body focused on the stinging slashes across his torso, and his mind slowly quieted down. There. Perhaps I can rest now... Sequoia thought, all thoughts of Orloki draining from his mind. Before the darkness closed in, Sequoia heard footsteps from the corridor they'd come in from. He saw the light in his staff fade away, and he felt himself fade out. OoC: For the record, Sequoia's not dead, I just needed a way to end his current rampage. EDIT: Sorry it took so long, and sorry for throwing you off, Aran. But in all fairness, you've had something like two weeks now...

What to be added in Avernum 4? in The Avernum Trilogy
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, February 12 2006 14:44 Profile Homepage #4 I wondered why this topic had returned... But really, there are just two things from your list that made it directly to A4: Area spells and improved lock-picking systems. Regrettably, there are actually fewer spells in A4 than A3, but there are far fewer useless ones. On the plus side, Unlock Doors is finally more difficult to use than straight-up Tool Use (but combining the two is insane...). Honestly, 90% of that list was entirely too far-fetched for inclusion in A4. EDIT: Well, yes, some monsters can do the strange attacks you spoke of.

It's a charity event where people can volunteer to auction a lunch date with them... in the school canteen. Just like any normal lunch except you have to pay lots more + you get confetti hearts sprinkled on the table. We used to get candles too but not anymore, too dangerous =/. This is so painfully lame. Agreed. Originally, reading it made a little bit of me die inside. Confetti hearts really have just one serious application: kindling. karin, I personally hope you were never subjected to this. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. quote: Originally written by A guy who can't access his account: I guess it's the principle of the holiday I like not the holiday itself. Also agreed. Building a holiday around pretty much anything invites people to miss the point completely. It's not about the chocolate (though chocolate is good), it's not about the flowers, and it's not about the idiotic valentines. It's about love, and it shouldn't be confined to a single calendar day. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, February 12 2006 12:30 Profile Homepage #47 quote: Originally written by Slartucker: Yeah. Death gets a bad rap. It's kind of hard to say what modern society fears more, death or old age. Think of the insane measures taken to avoid both... from Botox to depressing nursing homes ("They check in, but they don't check out"). In our desperation to stave off death (instead of trying to live with it and cope), we've created a new age group consisting mostly of people who are too frail to truly enjoy life, and who fall victim to a host of age-correlated diseases. The longer we try to stay on this planet, the more our bodies and minds decay, and we keep pushing this back further. Sure, a lucky few stay healthy 'til the end, but who wants to live to 100 if it means you'll probably have Alzheimer's and arthritis (or some similarly unpleasant condition)? Thus, any kind of ad devised to play off of those fears will be ludicrously successful among the general populace... particularly among women, who've been unjustly burdened with such societal pressures for ages. ...It's all junk. And on a very literal level, I don't know any girls who are actually attracted to the smell of Axe. I've only ever seen it used as a way to cover up cigarette smoke, anyway. The stuff smells horrible... EDIT: Removed some questionable phrasing, even though it's still quoted in David's post.

You say that as if it'll make Valentines' Day worth it. I can say from experience, it doesn't. In fact, I think it's a sign of a solid relationship when neither you nor your significant other feels the need to do anything differently on the 14th. I mean, why limit the love to one day a year? Honestly, I feel lucky. I'm in a loving, honest relationship where my girlfriend hates Valentines' Day as much as I do. :P It's irretrievably commercialized, meant to guilt-trip both genders into revitalizing their relationships for one day, after which they're more than happy to let them slide again. And let's not forget the average single person's perspective on the holiday... I think we can all remember feeling a bit left out of the festivities (regardless of whether or not we agreed with the principle of the holiday).

Snow! in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, February 12 2006 11:29 Profile Homepage #19 Missouri's kinda weird about snow... St. Louis doubly so. When we do get snow, there can be a ton of it. But it's generally rare for snow to stick around for more than a weekend here. This year, we've gotten our biggest snowstorms when it technically wasn't cold enough for it to stick to the ground, but we still got a few inches of accumulation (very strange to have the snow literally melting off the trees while it's still snowing fiercely). Example: It's kind of flaking down right now, but I doubt it'll accumulate much. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.
