You look off to the north and dash speedily away.
The Valley of Blissful Rapture.
Shafts of blue light form crisscrossing patterns here. The corrosiveness of the
taint sickens the land. A beatific cherub flitters in the air, giggling with
delight. A stinking noxious cloud floats here. A taint wyrm is coiled on the
ground here, spoiling the air with its corrosive stench. Hovering in the air, a
seraphic angel warms the surroundings with his inner light. Drill Sergeant
Lusien Ookamizoku is here. He wields a spiked abyssal flail in each hand. Drill
Sergeant Marcalo De'Unnero is here. He wields an elegant silver rapier in each
hand. Acolyte Erion, Apprentice of Nil is here. A ghostly apparition floats
here.
You see exits leading northeast, south, and northwest.

Funny, with you all posting at the same time, it's like I'm playing Lusternia, at work, with no Lusternia.

I'm looking into this, myself. Those guards weren't standguard permanent... no one ever thought it mattered, since they weren't supposed to be able to leave the Pool. No one ordered them to move, or either didn't fess up.

Things like this really screw up the rhythm of the game, if you know what I mean. It's almost like we should have a time-out button, for when bugs or possible abuses happen. But that would throw off the suspension of disbelief, meh.

Put all of Celest in the Time.
