Ok here's a little encounter with a Geomancer I had on the highway.

Tainted soil suddenly clogs your vision and you feel a disembodied, muddy hand
grab you by the nape of your neck and roughly pulls on you.
You see Revan as you are pulled up through the ground.
Great Southern Highway approaching Magnagora. (road).
The corrosiveness of the taint sickens the land. Filling the firmament is a
lattice of heavy grey clouds. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular
monolith is on the ground. A huge archdemon looms here, surrounded by black
mist.
You see exits leading northeast and southwest.

A violent tremor rocks the land, causing the earth to shake and the ground to
buck beneath your feet.

Dust clouds rise as the earth shifts and sharp rocks slide and bounce, some
flying into the air. You yelp in pain as several of them smash into you,
bruising your flesh and cutting your skin.

The corrosiveness of the taint sickens the land. Filling the firmament is a
lattice of heavy grey clouds. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular
monolith is on the ground. The fossilized remains of Aris are here. The
fossilized remains of Kelly are here. Pausing to rest, a taurian pilgrim looks
off into the distance.
You see exits leading north and southwest.

Fumes rise up from the tainted earth and make you cough. Ugly cankerous sores
break out on your skin, dripping with pus.
At the Southern Magnagora Gates. (road).
The stars twinkle in the clear night sky. There are 13 Ur'Guard Grand Marshals
here. A statue of Brona stands here, memorializing his noble spirit. There are
13 plague lords here. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is
on the ground.
You see exits leading north, southeast, south, and southwest.

Junction at Atropos Way and Clothos Lane. (road).
The stars twinkle in the clear night sky. A battered old signpost stands here.
A monument to Gorgulu casts its long shadow over the filthy flagstones here. A
statue of Brona stands here, memorializing his noble spirit.
You see exits leading north, northeast, south, and west.

suddenly slammed into the ground by an irresistable force.

There is no exit in that direction.

Your movement causes your magical shield to dissipate.

Ok, so the rooms in bold were to point out which rooms were tainted or not. Looking at the log many times, I've come to the conclusion that I DID exit the demesne, but he (Revan) could still use his demesne powers on me. Is there some special ability or something that allows this? I'm confused.

Magnagora is tainted urban, therefore Geos can meld to it. He probably had that area melded and outside of the city too. That's why you were still getting hit.

Revan's demesne is stupefyingly huge, he's got much of Glomdoring melded too. There should really be a limit on demesne size.

OHHH I get it. Hrrmmm

Thanks

What what what? It's just a wallpaper minimized in size, currently working on an aWsOmE avatar by myself (after I learn how to draw and animate)
Shiri2005-01-18 12:52:46
Wallpaper is what I meant by background. My desktop background was that exact same Sesshy pic. (Now it's Kodama, yay.)
Unknown2005-01-19 13:18:28
*gasp* Another person who used InuYasha wallpaper? *resists urge to flood character with messages*
Shiri2005-01-19 18:09:35
Well it IS a cool background. It's now Kenshin Himura. ('cause it looks cool, even if Rurouni Kenshin does suck. tongue.gif)
