Yeah, so did I, woulda made a cool Geomancer. (But NOOO, you had to go Nihilist again.)

I *used* to, but I've grown out of that. Thankfully. The 'Hug' is a reference to an old horror book I found in my grandfather's house a long, long, long, long, long time ago. About a large bear that killed people, but first, they always got a letter saying 'Hug'. I wonder if I can find that title. Or if Daganev is inside my brain.

How does a bear write..?

That's like asking how does a blob grow. Its an old horror thing.

Or one of them swirly eyed Devil Bears. (Anyone else read Scary Go Round? )

(Children): Rauros says, "This may sound like a dumb question, but what can you do besides push and pull?"

Another display of my stunning maturity.

You tell Seditionist Jack, Torturer of the Sodality, "Hile. How much gold do
you have, total?"

Jack tells you, "480,000."

Jack tells you, "Technically, I've got 490,000.. But.. 10,000 is 'Jack gold'."

You tell Seditionist Jack, Torturer of the Sodality, "Eww."

...I don't get it.

Jack is way too rich though.

The word 'jack' has a special other meaning. Also, this just in...

(Grunts): Please welcome Fokk who joins as a novice freshman!

Nope. When he finally reaches 500,000 gold, he's going to do something quite marvellous.

Quite, quite marvellous.

Like buy a clan? That's what I'd do.

... Yes.

You say, "Mrrrrrr."

A single mote of light shimmers to life in a flash before exploding out into a
heatless shower of sparks which coalesce into Isune.

You blink.

The Fulcrux of Isune.
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. A comforting
feeling of privacy pervades the area. The summit of the mountain stands tallest
among many in a volcanic range which breaks the barrier of white clouds below,
and the shallow caldera of this one in specific has been cleared to create a
terraced courtyard which stands open to the air. Distantly, some of the
volcanic peaks glow with an inner heat, and one or two throw trails of smoke to
the sky. Sweeping clouds of the barrier below the peaks stretch on to a crystal
clear, aquamarine horizon, bands of soft white waves ranging across a sea of
dusty blue-grey through which hints of lands below can be seen. Above that sea,
the sky fades from aquamarine at the horizon to a cool and star-studded
blue-violet overhead. Across the courtyard within the caldera, however, small
and reflective tiles of all types, sizes, and materials have been arranged in
patterns of clouds and feathered creatures. Echoing the patterns, twisting
outcrops of metal with a platinum sheen rise in shapes loosely resembling
flocks of interconnected birds or singular birds of prey, their eyes marked
with small precious and semi-precious stones. Shifting and shimmering in
undulating waves, heatless sparks rise in a rippling fountain of light. An
empyrean, opaline white statue of a falcon with its eyes turned towards the
heavens shines with an inner light here, living motes of luminescence dancing
along the intricate feathers of its powerfully downflapping wings. The Lady
Mysteria, Elaeni Feyranti is here. Isune, the Wings of Compassion floats just
above the ground, sparks of light dancing upon the air which ripples around
Her. She wields an overstuffed ham sandwich in Her left hand.
You see a single exit leading .

Isune tilts Her head curiously.

You say, "Ham?"

Elaeni beams broadly.

You blink.

Isune, the Wings of Compassion says, "... I'm still wie--oh, bother."

Isune eats an overstuffed ham sandwich with obvious gusto.

The Lady Mysteria, Elaeni Feyranti says, "Mmm."

Isune, the Wings of Compassion says, "Proper dramatic effect quite ruined."

admit it, when you get 500K your going to go to the casino and bet it all on 00

I'm sorry. Isune is still my favourite Goddess simply for the things She does.

Now that you mention it..

.. Nah, I'll stick with my original idea. Y'know, the one that doesn't cripple me financially?

When told to change it he said he was going to change it to Bobmorbid.



Skath has been slain by the might of a knot of spore grass.
That mean grass..

I basically gave away all of Jack's... ideas.

(Magnagora): Murphy says, "Anyone tried out rowena yet?"

(Magnagora): You say, "Visaeris may have, in the past. They always seemed a bit
too close."

(Hysterics followed)

Actually, I tried kicking grass before, it afflicts like nuts. I almost died, a healer had to help me.
