Wands in Avernum 4

When Avernum 4 was blended with the Geneforge engine, this facet remained in effect for all combat wands. Wands take up the primary weapon slot in A4. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews!

Wands in Avernum 4
Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Monday, September 10 2007 15:42 Profile Homepage #2 Wands go in the weapon slot. If you already have a weapon like a sword or a spear equipped, you'll have to remove it before equipping the wand. If that doesn't work, make sure you aren't trying to equip a beneficial baton. Those are used in the inventory rather than being equipped. That said, anyone can wield a wand. AMEND: What Iffy said applies if you're playing any other Avernum game currently released.

Down to Earth IC in General
Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Friday, September 7 2007 08:15 Profile Homepage #5 A small snap echoed to the bartender as he approached an elderly Aesin who was drowning his sorrows in Aesinian ale. He poured the man a drink, then went back to the rack where he kept the bottles of waiting alcohol and selected a particularly vicious-looking one. He brought it back to the man who had made the bid for the drink, where he found several small coins lying on the counter. The man thanklessly took the drink and downed half of it with a single swig. He then returned his attention to the bottle-rack, staring one down almost as if it had done him some unknown wrong. There was the sudden tinkling of a bell, and Marxis stared more fixedly at the bottle for a second. The reflection shone briefly, and then vanished. It was enough for him, though. He watched the Aesin's progress through a mirror behind the bar. Eventually, he choose a small table in the corner. Marxis waited. He was sure this was the man who had wanted to meet with him, but he wanted to make sure he wasn't followed. So Marxis continued to wait. After half-an-hour or so, the man got impatient. "Typical. No, frickin' wonderful. I finally get someone skilled enough, and he's decided not to show." The man made to stand up. "One must be careful, Povell," Marxis said quietly, seating himself across from the man. He was short and plump, looking like something that had been compressed by an elephant. However, he also wore the robes of someone who knew money, and lots of it. "And late. Didn't I promise good pay, Helios?" Povell asked. After further thought, he added, "And how do ya' know my name?" "I already answered both. Only an amateur or a fool would openly greet the interested party. The latter are in the business for but a short time, if you catch my meaning." Marxis watched his quarry carefully, amused at both the use of his street name and the expression on Povell's face. It wasn't everyday that you learned that the person you were trying to hire has been spying on you. "Well I'm not comfortable with this... place," Povell said delicately, "and I'd prefer to conclude our business quickly." "Really?" Marxis said, falsly incredulous. "I was under the impression that you came here almost daily. And not because of the liquor." Marxis glanced at a nearby pillar, which had the figure of a succubus carved at the top. Povell shook his head. "Anyway, I'm looking for someone to recover an Aesin artifact from someone who doesn't know or understand it's worth. A gold ring, one that's not particularly pretty, but it's a piece of Aesinian history. I'll pay well for it to be placed in my possession." "How well?" Povell was silent, then pulled a large sack of gold from under his coat and set it on the table. "This should be sufficient." Marxis looked at it carefully, then opened it. He shuffled a few of the gleaming gold coins inside the sack. He eventually closed it again and leaned back to survey Povell again. "This is quite a bit of gold for the simple matter of getting a trivial item. What's the catch?" "It's location is a bit... tricky. It's in the Havior mansion, and I think you know where that is." Marxis sighed as he thought about it. A blatant foray into hostile territory was not what he had in mind. But, it was still a living. "Fine. Expect the relic tomorrow." Marxis got up and left the tavern. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews! Please rate these scenarios at the CSR after playing them!

Down to Earth OOC in General
Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Monday, September 3 2007 21:00 Profile Homepage #20 Name: Marxis "Helios" Ciotha Occupation: Freelance work, of a less-than-legal nature. Prefers transfer of exotic goods. Race: Aesin. Height: 6'1''. Weight: ~140 lbs. Age: 24 years. Eye color: Bright gold. Apparel: Generally wears the dark and dramatic cloaks of those involved with shady business. Current Condition: Reasonably healthy, but recovering from recent illness. Marxis has been working the darker sides of the Aesinian Kingdom for sometime. He was born and raised in the Meher Empire by his Aesin parents, now deceased. Despite his Aesinian descent and Meherian life style, he considers his loyalty only to himself. His most recent assignments have been on the Aesin/Meher border, where a new smuggling ring is emerging. Marxis hopes to take advantage of the new situation, giving both sides what they need (and earning a retirement fund in the process). His recent attempts at exploiting the recent conflict has lead him to Somala. Being a city of two divided races, it's a natural highway for contraband. However, Marxis has also heard that Somala is also home to several crime syndicates, which he'll have to tread around lightly. His exploits in the Kingdom have earned him the nickname of Helios. Through a combination of brains, brawn, an uncanny knowledge of Aesin anatomy, and sheer dumb luck, he's managed to evade the law and remove almost all traces of his identity. As such, he's currently one of the most mysterious figures in the Kingdom, and his exploits have even reached Meher ears. He relies on stealth to carry the day, but will frequently use poison and trickery should the job or his life depend on killing someone. He also carries what he claims to be a set of heirloom scissors with gold handles, but the scissors actually separate into a set of serrated battle knives for a situation from which he can't get away cleanly. He's known for ingenuity. Marxis has a few moral lines he'll refuse to cross, but if the price is right, you can get him to do almost anything else. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews!

Man or God in General
Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Friday, August 31 2007 19:46 Profile Homepage #49 quote: Originally written by Stillness: “GE 3:1-7, 22-24 God allows Adam and Eve to be deceived by the Serpent (the craftiest of all of God's wild creatures). They eat of the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil," thereby incurring death for themselves and all of mankind for ever after. God prevents them from regaining eternal life, by placing a guard around the "Tree of Eternal Life." (Note: God could have done the same for the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil" in the first place and would thereby have prevented the Fall of man, the necessity for Salvation, the Crucifixion of Jesus, etc.)” Being deceived does not justify criminal activity. Obedience would have prevented the fall of man. God gave them an opportunity to express their love and appreciation for his gifts and they betray him and steal. He is not to blame. Before eating the fruit, they were like children. In fact, God frequently references that humans are his children. Children can easily be led astray by outside influence. Tell me, do you know anyone who'd punish a child with death for taking a small step out of line? It does happen, but not frequently. And those that do it are generally not perceived as holy, fatherly figures after it happens, once everyone learns about it. Your message is that God is a loving being; doesn't love involve forgiveness? GE 6:11-17, 7:11-24 God is unhappy with the wickedness of man and decides to do something about it. He kills every living thing on the face of the earth other than Noah's family and thereby makes himself the greatest mass murderer in history. Murder is unlawful killing. God does not murder. As the Sovereign Lord and Judge of the universe he has the right, even the obligation, to get rid of wickedness. Otherwise he is wicked.[/quote] This might be plausible if he didn't cause so much collateral damage. How many innocent bystanders did he annihilate when the flood came? The bystanders I refer to are the animals who couldn't know or understand wickedness, and perhaps a few men who were not wicked. If God does not commit murder, than the floods could not have come. If the floods came, which you claim, then God committed murder. quote: 1SA 6:19 God kills seventy men (or so) for looking into the Ark (at him?). (Note: The early Israelites apparently thought the Ark to be God's abode.) Num 4:20 “And they must not come in to see the holy things for the least moment of time, and so they have to die.” So he killed, no , murdered 70 people for doing something they were unaware of being wrong. You can't have it both ways. The only way God can be the ultimate being of love and commit mass-murder is if he loves homicide. quote: 2KI 2:23-24 Forty-two children are mauled and killed, presumably according to the will of God, for having jeered at a man of God Disrespect of Jehovah’s representatives is disrespect of him, no matter the age. These children were reflecting the apostate mentality of their parents and the nation. It was not just childish silliness. First, I'd again like to point out a lovely little word that keeps cropping up here: Murder (which God supposedly does not do). Besides, wouldn't it have been more appropriate (not that it's appropriate by any means) to go after the ones who taught them the disrespect? quote: EX 12:30 The Lord kills all the first-born of Egypt and there is not a house where there is not at least one dead. (This means that there was not a house in Egypt that did not include at least one first-born---a most unusual situation.) Never heard this one before. My guess would be a difference in the definition of “house.” In the Bible and even in some modern languages like Mandarin Chinese, “house” conveys the meaning “family.” Also extended families occupy one literal house in many cultures. I don’t really see a problem here. Here's yet another account of God committing murder. For a being that doesn't commit homicide, he certainly has a lot of bodies piling up at his feet. -------------------- Scenarios need reviews!
