Chase follows you south.
Animal trail through an open area.
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. The bright sun
shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. A mound of fine sand
lies on the ground here. A demented, three-legged jackal stands here, panting
ravenously.
You see exits leading north, east, and southwest.
A pair of muscular arms bursts forth from the mound of sand and, grabbing hold
of your ankles, pulls you down into a pit.
Chase follows you ether.
Bottom of a sand pit.
The slime-covered muscular form of a gravedigger stands here, hissing
aggressively.
There are no obvious exits.

You fall to the ground as the last drops of life-giving blood drain out of your

body.

An iron flask falls out of your inventory.

pray for salvation

your mind, though memories of the afterlife are becoming hazy. Except one
memory lingers and nags at you. Why did Atropos say that she

Before the Portal of Fate.
The corrosiveness of the taint sickens the land. A comforting feeling of
privacy pervades the area. A spacious cave has been carved into the hard
granite of Avechna's Peak. The walls are smooth and cool, adorned from floor to
ceiling with tightly spaced sigils and symbols. These hieroglyphs glow of their
own accord, twisting and squirming, casting undulating fronds of gold and
purple light flickering over the walls and ceiling. A strange sense of
expectancy radiates throughout the chamber, as though the air is pregnant with
momentous events and possibilities. Seething with arcane energy, the Portal of
Fate floats before you. Ur'Guard Initiate, Chase is here. She wields a wooden
practice shortsword in each hand. Aethil is here. Teist, Child of

Light is

here.

You see a single exit leading out.

1672h, 1588m, 1420e, 0p, 7260en, 6840w ex-

Chase searches the air in front of her, then tugs upon an invisible strand of

force.

You tug upon the aether strands around you, searching for one
that connects to

the Megalith of Doom.

motes of light.

1672h, 1588m, 1420e, 0p, 7260en, 6840w ex-

You teleport along the aether strands to the Megalith of Doom.
Centre of the Necropolis.
Rising up from cracks in the floor, the Megalith of Doom towers above
everything here, polluting the air with its foul fumes. The Keeper of the
Megalith stands here radiating a tainted presence. A rune bag has been
carelessly left here. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is
on the ground. A painting of an Ur'Guard Grand Marshal is proudly exhibited on
a nearby wall. A massive black warthog stands here, snorting and bearing its
tusks. The fossilized remains of Curudan are here. The fossilized remains of
Xavius are here. There are 7 Ur'Guard Grand Marshals here. A huge archdemon
looms here, surrounded by black mist. Acolyte Jelaludin, Aspirant of the Abyss
is here. He wields a shield bordered in moonstones in his left hand. Trooper
Asarnil, Blademaster of the Ur'Guard is here. He wields a exquisitely crafted
draconic broadsword in each hand. Death Drill Sergeant Daganev Treeripper,
Shaper of Steel is here, sprawled on the floor. He wields a tormented spectre
flail in each hand.
You see exits leading north, east, south, and west.

Centre of the Necropolis.
It is difficult to detect any features of the room, due to the powerful field
of energy that is put out by the Megalith of Doom, absorbing all but the
darkest of colours and dominating everything else in the room. The architecture
of the room is designed to accommodate the Megalith of Doom with a high dome
that forms the entire ceiling. A circular series of steps descends three tiers
down to the indentation in the centre of the room where the Megalith stands.
Four archways lead out of the room to the other areas of the Necropolis, where
candles and other illumination can barely be detected through the powerful
force of the Megalith. Rising up from cracks in the floor, the Megalith of Doom
towers above everything here, polluting the air with its foul fumes. The Keeper
of the Megalith stands here radiating a tainted presence. A rune bag has been

Unknown2005-01-21 17:14:51
do you know what pedophiles are??? I died, my body was down there... *twitch* More likely necrophiliacs than pedophiles.
Laysus2005-01-21 17:53:57
not really amusing though.
Unknown2005-01-21 17:59:06
Not really. More like sad. But hey, if you hadn't left Serenwilde, you might have been able to burrow out tongue.gif
Unknown2005-01-21 18:11:16
...

Don't get me started on why I left.

And if I had not left, it wouldn't have mattered, I was doing a power quest for Magnagora...

I've had some bad experiences with gravediggers. Once, I had I think five credits on the market, and they all got sold while I was dying to a gravedigger and I lost all my gold... Rrgghh...
Shiri2005-01-21 21:59:07
OW. OW OW OW. I saw a log of someone losing about 90 once, though. Geesh.
Unknown2005-01-21 22:38:28
I know what pedophiles are, and it doesn't make sense. Are you a child?
Raguel2005-01-22 22:24:05
Gravediggers aren't all that bad - whats hard is tanking a full pit of gravediggers AND morslade with no curing system and no idea he's there and making no attempt to fend him off
Ok mebbe i shoulda run but ... meh
Nicodemus2005-01-25 08:31:12
Not to easy to run. To my understanding, you can't leave until the gravedigger is dead...
Annelia2005-01-25 16:21:38
Make sure you don't run down either. I killed one once and looked down. Two gravediggers and the Gravedigger Queen.. I wonder what they were doing happy.gif

You can still teleport out/get summoned out/whatever else. As long as there's no monolith.
Shiri2005-01-26 00:35:18
And there are plenty monoliths.

Only on the hole right next to Magnagora dry.gif.
Shiri2005-01-26 01:22:56
*squint* Maybe s'more decayed. There were a tonne a while ago.
Maedhros2005-01-26 02:33:06
That's probably mine. And if it is, it's not flamed.

What I do, since once Marsu jumped me while I was sleeping and browsing forums, is I carry around a monolith, bash Blasted Lands, then fall into a Digger pit. I kill the Digger, drop the monolith, go to sleep then go read forums. I have a trigger that when I auto-wake, I pick up the monolith, but half the time I manually wake and go up without picking up my monolith. So I have to wait till that Digger respawns dry.gif.
Unknown2005-01-26 02:40:36
Or you could jus tbuy a new monolith..
