trapped in the scree caves in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, January 26 2006 10:52 Profile Homepage #3 I think I know what must have happened here, so let me take a guess: -You went to Fort Saffron and cleared out the bandits -You exited through a narrow passage that drops you in the Scree Caves -You got Demonslayer and killed the drake ...in that order. I assume that you never talked to the commander of Fort Emerald about the crystal box quest? That's the only way to get the barriers lowered (assuming you have the fixed version where you can't just dispel them). Thus, backtostart wouldn't mess up the plot at all. Just go talk to Advisor Houghton about the crystal box, then talk to Fort Emerald's commander. EDIT: Drat. Beaten by a full four minutes.

Romeo and Juliet. Thoughts? in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, January 25 2006 17:25 Profile Homepage #13 Personally, I prefer the Reduced Shakespeare Company's interpretation of the play... and they raise an excellent question: why don't the idiots just get married via the friar and leave town?! Seriously, I think R & J was a pretty good play, but not as good as Hamlet. Midsummer Night is also pretty fun, but the last time I was near a production of it, it looked like it had been hallucinated via an impressive group of illegal substances.

Stuck. in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, January 25 2006 07:46 Profile Homepage #14 quote: Originally written by Contra: I'v tried to agument him, to keep him alive. He still dies. He always takes 73 damage, and he always dies. It's supposed to happen. After some exhaustive shielding, augmenting, blessing, hasting, and reloading, I managed to save Houghton once. He still dies in a dialogue box, from some slight nick he gets from a blade when the vahnatai enter (also in a dialogue box). So rest assured, there is absolutely nothing you can do, even if you technically do save him. (Not even my level 4 Curing could've done the trick) quote: Originally written by Mimi: I don't know if this is important but not far from Starrus there is another barrier that I can't dispell, the spell is too weak too. I believe that is the Castle treasury. So no, it's not really important. EDIT: Agh! Quote tags!

That's what people said about dynamite. And the atomic bomb. Heck, people probably said that about the invention of bronze. Haven't people realized that making war more deadly doesn't deter people? It just makes it more deadly! quote: Originally from the article:"History has shown that, without investment in high technology, fighting the next war will be done using the 'last war' type of technique," quote: Originally from the article:"It’s a matter of priority," Beason said. The time is now to identify high-payoff, directed-energy projects for the smallest amounts of money, he said. As if it wasn't bad enough, it's always about the money... what ever happened to killing people for the sake of killing people? This kind of stuff honestly scares me.

The Mountain of Shadows RP in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, January 22 2006 18:47 Profile Homepage #494 OoC: It's been a while... IC: The demon's laughter faded from the passage, leaving a rough echo in the druid's mind. Sequoia silently walked over to Edith, knowing that Orloki was in full control. We can't give up on her... we can't lose anyone else to Orloki if we want to get out of here alive, much less if we want to slay the beast, he thought, as part of his mind throbbed dully. "Demon, what do you want from us?" Sequoia half-yelled, trying to restrain himself a bit. The earlier sight of the demon's form had yet to leave the druid's memory, and it had stirred up a bit of anger in him. The possessed alchemist replied with another booming laugh. "Foolish one, always so direct! My purposes are known to me alone, and I feel no need to reveal them to my prey." Sequoia could feel sparks leap from his fingers as another cloud of anger welled up in his mind. When it passed, he muttered "Then why have you not simply slain us? You must be afraid of us!" "Silence, mortal! You are tainted as well, so I fail to see the threat in you. You will fall like all the others will, if the mountain does not take you first." Orloki's voice replied. At this comment, Sequoia seethed for a moment. He felt magic pulsing in his veins, and he felt the taint course through his brain. Leave her, she is of no use to you, he thought, slowly losing control again. Better yet, slay her, and force Orloki to flee or show himself! The druid snarled and started reaching for the broken halves of his staff, right before Lisha reached out and pulled him back, shaking him back to reality. "Don't prove him right, Brother," she said, turning him away from Edith. Sequoia stepped back from Edith, fervently clutching his charm to his chest. His mind slowly resolved into clarity again, and in a flash he remembered his actions. He tried to focus his mind away from the taint, but it lingered, a few strands of concentrated evil flowing among his thoughts. In spite of this, he could still feel the mountain's power in him, and where it flowed, the taint was burned away. He could maintain control as long as that power held, and he could probably tap into the mountain again if he needed (though the risk frightened him). So the fiend is afraid of us. That must be it! Why else would he have avoided a direct confrontation? First that cursed suit of armor, he thought, silently cursing Caecus, then that fool Filbert. Now, Edith. And to some degree, myself. His pulse quickened for a moment, as if the mountain's power was surging. He felt the taint weaken a bit, though its continued presence strengthened Sequoia's headache. Slowly, his body and mind returned to normal (at least, as close to normal as the druid was now willing to accept), and he turned to watch Edith. While her eyes retained their demonic appearance, her body appeared to be resisting now. Every so often, she twitched in a way that suggested a bit of struggle, which gave Sequoia a bit of hope. He has underestimated us, and he will pay dearly for it. The fiend must die, so that we may be free again.
