...monty python and other references
References to Wikipedia, Monty Python, Zork and other such sources aren't different from similar references in movies and literature. The less you try to explain it in-character, the better.

Anyway, what's the rule with food names. If you wanted a hamburger, would you have to call it "meat in a bun"? What of chicken alfredo. I might not know who the dish is named for, but I know it isn't anyone from The Basin. What if I want chicken kiev, baked alaska, bananas foster, caesar salad, french bread, or cheddar cheese?
Viravain2006-03-17 23:24:33
That's obviously something, that if you are in a craft that needs designs, you should ask the Charites. In game. You know, not here on the forums.

I was going to say that Jungles clearly exist outside the basin, but nobody seems to have a means or desire to go outside the basin or search for things that exist out there.
Anyone want to mount a chocolate-finding expidition? Diamondais? Ialie?

You'd be swarmed under by Serenwilde snugglies the moment you returned; they'd steal your haul, devour it and disappear to wait for the next idiots to try finding it.
That, or Aesyra would return for the sole purpose of stealing at eating your chocolate.

We simply need to steal a few of those divinely-made chocolate-including foodstuffs, devise a way to reverse-engineer them back into chocolate beans, put them into an inverted timeslip and wait till we get the plant. Then we can plant them in Oleanvir valley, and force Gwylifar to return from inactivity so he can guard the chocolate saplings.
Then we can watch him destroy the Basin in an annihilating rage when the first noob comes around and "harvests" it all to zero.

Hey, wait, who told you the plan?
One of the running jokes in my realspace RPG group is "Cthulhu's Chocolatiers", a Lovecraftian cult whose intent is to get the world coated in chocolate so when Cthulhu comes back to devour it, it'll be so creamy smooth and tasty that Cthulhu will be pleased and reward them. Their motto is, "Everything's better covered in chocolate!"
So be careful when you go discovering chocolate in Lusternia. Kethuru might have a sweet tooth!

Sure..chance of finding those tigers and reason to fuel saving up for a pet dum de dum..
Chocolate, white chocolate, mint chocolate, etc. are all chocolate so there shouldnt be any until weve discovered jungles with cocoa plants.
Sylphas2006-03-18 18:10:35
I can magically yank a silver torc from thin air, but I can't make chocolate? No fair.

Eh, that would cause Lusternian cocoa to be a re-annual plant, IE, one that grows a year before it is planted. And if you don't pĺant what you harvested earlier, you cause temporal distortions that might destroy the universe.
I don't think I trust Lusternian herbalists enough to let the fate of the Universe depend on their replanting.
Unknown2006-03-18 22:35:49
Of course it'd be re-annual chocolate. The kind that gives you toothaches and makes you fat -before- you eat it.
(Which is cool for two reasons, one, You have a great excuse to eat a lot of chocolate so as to not create any dangerous time paradoxons, two, Lommy can pick up the then soon-to-be-introduced dentist trade, which shouldn't cost me any lessons seeing as he's technically there already. )

Of course. Chocolate is comfort food; you eat re-annual chocolate to comfort yourself because you're fat and have bad teeth.

It's been checked, and the only items with chocolate/coco(excluding coconut)/cocoa in them that exist belong to divine - who obviously can just imagine up a temporary jungle if need be.
You are holding:
a figurine of Viravain, 20 master's paint palettes, 10 deck of Tarot cards, a vial,
a slice of luscious chocolate and strawberry swirl cheesecake, the forest
of Ackleberry, the lost city of Hallifax, the lost city of Guadiguch, a black lacquered
box, a painting of Isune, a painting of Lacostian, and a wickedly curved scythe.
Ialie2006-03-24 19:45:21
Viravain is holding the lost cities hostage!
Viravain2006-03-24 19:45:55
And I'm not giving them back.
Ialie2006-03-24 19:47:08
Yeah pooh on the cities. Just return Ackleberry and all will be well

I think chocolate is like one of these:
Just because we don't have access to them anymore doesn't mean we don't recognize them and laugh about them.
