Merry Christmahanukwanzastice to all, and hopefully nobody's tree/chanukkiyah/kinara/sacrificial goat will light their home on fire. Though I suppose it wouldn't be a total loss with the goat...

They'd be hard to deal with, I imagine. The death animation would be... strange, and they'd have to leave chariots behind upon dying (or so I'd guess). In fact, all the graphics for them would be... strange. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

It all happened so quickly that Sequoia felt only a flash of pain in his mind... the others had moved so quickly that he could only find them after standing still and concentrating for a few minutes. This clearly irritated Filbert, but Sequoia didn't care. "Cain took them," the druid murmured. ------- Sequoia strode down the stairway, flanked by Filbert. There were no more torches. Thin strands of purified ice formed in the druid's wake, the bright blue marking his path to any creature with eyes. Sequoia knew this was happening, and reassured himself with the knowledge that the rest of the party could find him easily. If Orloki doesn't keep shifting the tunnels, that is. Sequoia could tell that the passage he was in ended in a dead end, but he didn't change his pace. If his mind was leading him correctly... A rumbling sound echoed down the passage toward him. Filbert had been right. Hopefully, the others could bring the Curator to help in the fight, but for now, it was clear that Sequoia had the luck to reach Orloki (or Cain...) himself. An open tunnel ground into place at the end of the passage, and Sequoia started chanting, more words he did not know. He could see an open chamber just beyond the newly-moved tunnel. The halves of his staff glowed a blinding blue again, and Sequoia felt more magic flow from the stone of the mountain through his body and out his hands. The spell fired towards the opening in a flare of icy tendrils, and it created an icy seal around the entrance to the chamber where Sequoia assumed that Orloki waited. And we shall have an exit... he thought, quickly shoving aside the thought that he could very, very easily be overmatched before the others rejoined him. If they ever rejoined him. Sequoia could feel the presence of the demon in his mind, as the taint still clung to the mountain's power. Though Sequoia now had the power to push it back, the weight was growing heavier... and he still had no idea how long he could contain the mountain's raw power. Then, he felt their presences... Melora and Edith, two faint glimmers of life in the chamber ahead. They couldn't be doing very well right now. And then... "Cain. He has turned," the druid said to Filbert, who had fallen a few steps behind. "He has been possessed completely." "So what now, brother?" Filbert asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "We have no choice... we need to slay Cain, and then free Edith and Melora..." The druid staggered as he reached the entrance, the full force of the demon's presence hitting him. But what hit him harder was the relative plainness of the chamber. No massive gilded throne, no piles of skulls... quite a subpar lair for a demon of Orloki's power. Filbert cautiously stepped into the chamber behind the stunned druid, holding his sword at the ready. Though it probably can do little or nothing to Orloki... Then Sequoia saw the chandelier... full of blood-red candles, it was much more the sort of thing that the druid had pictured when thinking about Orloki's lair. But there were also stone platforms, arranged in a predictable pentagram. Two platforms clearly held bodies, which Sequoia immediately identified as Melora and Edith. The back of the chamber was blanketed in darkness, though the druid could feel a presence there. The worst part was how quiet it was. And then he saw the twisted form emerge from the ceiling, the body's shape shifting from moment to moment. The vast expanse of demonic energy settled in the middle of the pentagram, and its shape solidified into a body very similar to Cain's. Sequoia wasn't sure what to do. After all of this time, he was face-to-face with the source of the mountain's evil, which had touched him personally too many times. It had endangered his life, his companions' lives, and was generally speaking, something to be removed from existence. And it was now in the body of one of his former allies. But he had no idea what he could do to this thing... it had left the last fight without a scratch. Surprising himself, Sequoia started chanting again. He felt a charge building in his body, though he knew not to what end. Well, I suppose I should aim... And then the ground moved. Sequoia felt it coming, or rather, the mountain did. So he luckily dodged out of the way as a spike of black ice shot up from the ground, striking through the spot where he'd just been standing. But the charge was still building. Filbert took this moment to slip along the wall of the chamber, over to where Edith lay on a platform. Cain didn't seem to notice, and Sequoia just hoped that Filbert did not take this time to turn on his companions again. The chandelier flared, and Sequoia saw the whole chamber bathed in bright red light. A retinue of hooded figures and undead warriors stood behind Cain, all of them bowed in the undead equivalent of meditation. Lisha, Tuulentekija! I need you here now! Sequoia thought helplessly, as he dodged another spike of black ice. Hopefully, whatever the mountain has in mind will happen soon, and then I will stand a chance of finishing this before the power chars me from the inside out... -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

ALR: You do need to fix the un-spawned boat, or add a special encounter rectangle to move you out of whatever town you end up trapped in. NM: Set it to easy, load up on Heroic Brews, use Slow, and hope for the best. :P EDIT: For clarification, Shipwrecked is finishable, but you'll come up against a forest-y town where you need to find a key, otherwise you'll have to backtrack an insane distance later. This key can only be found by triggering a special encounter on one square of this forest-y town. The editor should be employed here.

Besides, Alorael is normally close to the top... we're all still getting used to Randomizer and Nioca taking the top spots, though I'm willing to attribute a decent portion of it all to G4's release. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Shipwrecked is not appropriate for any level party, and should not be taken internally. Shipwrecked may cause side effects including but not limited to intense nausea, moderate to severe depression, spontaneous combustion, migraines, allergies, upset stomach, occasional vomiting followed by blurred vision, and radiation poisoning. Ask your doctor about Shipwrecked today! (Seriously, I think it took like a level 60 party when I tested it. Make sure your PCs all have Strong Will, because otherwise they'll kill themselves halfway through.) -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Gah, I'm willing to admit that I'm losing a bit of faith in the Spidweb community as well, but it's mostly to do with the fact that oldbies tend to waltz in and act like they know exactly how everything here should work. or shud i tip lyk thes & than itll be bettr? ya rly zomg111 And to be perfectly honest, I never even bothered to look at Synergy's thread, because I've learned that anytime Synergy has something to say outside of a clever one-liner, the flames are only minutes behind. I'm proud to have found the obligatory Hitler reference on page three as well. When a topic like that hits 70 posts in just under a day, it's a clear sign that people aren't trying to sit back and have a civil discourse, they're just waiting for Alec to post his next diatribe so everyone can echo it. I don't want to defend anybody here, and I doubt Synergy wants my defense. I'm just sick of it all. The spambots haven't helped my view on things, nor have the departures, bannings, and topic-deaths. I'd like to see somebody prove me wrong for once, and I'd also like to see a thread where I feel like I can present a point of view without being insulted. Then again, this probably isn't the time, and this definitely isn't the place. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.
