Backwards avenue.
Superimposed over this location, an ethereal forest reaches up to the sky. A
flowering archway rises up from the ground. A sigil in the shape of a small,
rectangular monolith is on the ground. A hornbeam sapling clings tenaciously to
the ground here. A wiccan broom floats here, vibrating with energy. A wall of
briars has grown here in a tangle, blocking passage to the southeast. Seeker of
the Dawn Kalodan Caelicus, Golden Faechild is here, shrouded. He wields a
mystic cudgel in his left hand and a golden sickle in his right. Asmodea
Ale'nyi, the White Witch is here, shrouded. She wields an athame dagger in her
left hand and a tree-emblazoned heater shield in her right.
You see exits leading southeast and southwest.

Squirrels chitter madly but remain unseen in the trees. You are pelted by
acorns that leave welts and bruises.

You bleed 99 health.

With a grim smile, Kalodan touches the trees and sap courses out in a thick
syrup that lunges at you, coating you in the viscid liquid.

<3 you.

EDIT: And you seriously need to learn how to heal in a demesne. Even *I* don't die in a druid demesne!

EDIT 2: Oh, didn't see the subtitle. Har. Iunno. It's been working on the ground for a while, and I believe we've all bugged it a ton. It's been this way since well before Ecology. And Twirl isn't stopping Hexagram, so we're even.

twirl has a change to stop hexagram

and I didn't have a cleanse enchantment so i did ok for being aeoned

EDIT: If the bloody skill is buggy, DONT FREAKING USE IT

Meh. I'm going to use it when I need to. Should get a cleanse enchantment. 90% of the time you were in the trees because I didn't put up Treebane. I actually hit the wrong macro. Hah. I was going for a smudge burn, actually.

And twirl isn't stopping at *all*. I've not blocked it ONCE. Gonna stop using Hexagram now?

it should block it, it works on munsia.

She was saying on GT she wasn't blocking them, either. Although I just asked her. It just seems we're realy unlucky people. In all of the hexas, I've not blocked one. Ixi can attest, he hit me with quite a few. Munsi said out of about 10 or so, she blocked... one, which was towards the end. Meh.

Okay, so, sap works on the ground in forest rooms - I bugged it (again), for good measure.

If a skill is bugged, it's abuse to use it and you know it.

So don't, regardless of whether you need it or not, or we could be seeing a Kalo shrub.

I agree. I dislike when people abuse things, and as Seneshcal would make a point of telling people off who did abuse them. If Sap is bugged, and this is the first I have heard of it, people really need to inform their envoy when things break, then you should not be using it.

On the otherhand if Sap is not bugged and was changed, the admins should inform us. They do really well most times, but on occasion there is ninja'd changes and then we end up all over the place trying to figure out if there is a bug or it was meant to be this way.

S'not my fault my shoddy system bounces raise cudgel off an off-eq. Meh.

Still should use a cleanse enchant more, Murphy. Especially now.

Oooor, you could just not use sap. I stopped using swoop when it was bugged, after all

Twirl stops hexagram 50% of the time when I tested it.

Why quit using a viable tactic because it works in some situations when it shouldn't? I try to not use it when I'm on the ground - but I also am a cruddy fighter, so a lot of my macros are set up on timers. So I RAISE CUDGEL, and after some time (I forget what it is atm) I forestcast sap. But sometimes I hit it a lil early, and raise cudgel bounces off-eq, and I'm buggered.

This would be like telling people not to use snakepits period, when they can make them in the water. I'll just stop using my shoddy excuse for a system until we know if it's a bug or not, and do things slightly more manual.

It's a lot like us telling people not to use the demesne Crows because they fling people to astral and into Mother's guards, or us saying "don't use demesnes" because they attack people on different planes who aren't even IN that demesne. Sometimes you need to give up something for a few days until it's fixed :/ They're USUALLY pretty good about isolating and fixing bugs like that really quickly, though.

No, not like that. To compare it to demesne Crows and flinging people to astral/mother's guards, Sap would have to be doing it's normal stuff, and cleanse ignoring it or something.

It's more like the trap thing.

Murphy and my own curing is quite similar.. and I didnt have any trouble taking 5 of you alone in demesne. He just didnt have cleanse (bad Murphy!)

Edit: And twirl stopped a ton of my hexagrams.

Yea, but in one combo you knock off 1.9k of health. Which is like, all of mine. >.> Damn Faeling con. I kept trying to sap you. But you kept falling out of the trees, and after Murphy flipped and started screaming about how if I used sap again he'd issue me, I was avoiding ground combat.

And, Murphy was having obvious problems in a demesne. We were laughing about it on SEG at one point. And a cleanse enchant is a part of taking a druid demesne on. >.> He's just lucky I didn't darkseed, too. I thought it was sad when he heartstopped because he got sapped. Laaame. Steal my XP.

You use his curing.

I don't have a problem with any demense in the game, i only have problems with having a cleane enchant go missing because i lent it out and didn't get it back

Syntax: FORESTCAST SAP
Power: 5 (Commune Nexus)
Casting this curse on a target who is in the trees will cause sap to coat your
victim, causing any action to be delayed from the stickiness of the sap.


IF IT IS WORKING ON THE GROUND, IT IS A BUG UNTIL WE ARE TOLD OTHERWISE.

THIS MEANS DO NOT USE IT, BECAUSE IT IS BUG ABUSE.

I did tell you just you dont receive half the tells I send you
edit: And hexagram is completly random to me on a good day I block all on a bad day I dont block any
