The commanding voice of Terentia, the Even Bladed resounds across the firmament, "Nothing about you is divine, Murphy. Do remember that."

Telrath opens the reinforced door to the down.
3611h, 3842m, 3611e, 10p elrxkdb<>-
Telrath looks about himself, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

You shout, "My combat skills are nothing BUT divine. You can ask hajamin about his two mangled legs and the divine brain splatter he left twice upon the grounds at the megalith."

The Catacomb Gate.
Archmage Telrath d'Murani is here, shrouded. He wields a twisted staff in his left hand and an iron shield in his right. You see exits leading south and down (open door).

You say, "Lets see how that happens."
3611h, 3842m, 3611e, 10p elrxkdb<>-
A precise lance of scorching blue flame shoots across the heavens.
You have barely a fraction of a second to feel a dread foreboding before the lance of flame slams directly into your chest, filling your mind with white-hot pain and seeming to set every nerve in your body aflame. When you finally begin to breathe
again, there is surprisingly no mark upon your form, but a weakness of mind and body remain to attest to Terentia's anger.

The commanding voice of Terentia, the Even Bladed resounds across the firmament, "Nothing about you is divine, Murphy. Do remember that."

Dreadlord Murphy, Divine Wrath shouts, "My combat skills are nothing BUT divine. You can ask hajamin about his two mangled legs and the divine brain splatter he left twice upon the grounds at the megalith."

A precise lance of scorching blue flame shoots across the heavens.

The commanding voice of Terentia, the Even Bladed resounds across the firmament, "Do not test My patience. The next one will not be a warning.."

You see Trooper Yuniko Saitama shout, "Bad aim?"

The unearthly voice of Viravain whispers upon the ether, "Now, Now, Terentia. Such light shows are hardly needed."

The unearthly voice of Viravain whispers upon the ether, "There are far more simple ways to remind a mortal just how mortal they are."

Meshora Tel'Runya shouts, "Right, Next time just mangle their brains....wait, nothing to mangle, nevermind."

The commanding voice of Terentia, the Even Bladed resounds across the firmament, "I find death to be quite an effective reminder, Viravain.."

The unearthly voice of Viravain whispers upon the ether, "But there are things so much worse than death, dear Terentia."

Crimson Psionist Mederrach Feyranti, Planar Physicist shouts, "Such as the sight of the Even Bladed's naked body?"

2 seconds later...

A stream of crackling blue fire sizzles across the sky.
Mederrach has been seared to death by the divine flame of Terentia, the Even Bladed.

Props, i dared him to do it, and he did.
Terentia2006-05-30 04:25:56
Just a reference-


That's also not a zap. It's a warning.
Viravain2006-05-30 04:26:05
I fail to see how his shout was cute, or funny.

No idiot, save for someone suicidal, would shout to a being, much less a God that they know can incinerate them without a second thought - only his outside knowledge that he could come back to life for certain allowed him to be that disrespectful.

Is it intentially designed to take 50% of someone's current health, or was that just a fluke?
Unknown2006-05-30 04:33:19
Hrrm, when I've been warning zapped it's done no damage. huh.gif
Revan2006-05-30 04:35:43
Oh hush, Vira. it was funny. Get a sense of humor tongue.gif Just because it's aimed towards the Divine does not make it any less hilarious. And no, it's not OOC. I fail to see how it ever would be.
Terentia2006-05-30 04:37:01
There's two sets of warnings. One which does damage, one which does not.

The one Murphy had does 50% of damage to health, ego, and mana.

so, your saying disrespecting divine is OOC? wow, you have to learn to unplug from the game a while I think your character is finally getting to you sweety.

Taking an OOC dare to shout such a thing is IC, now? unsure.gif

I don't recall being pally with you, I'd ask you not to call me 'Vira' in such a carefree manner. Viravain is not terribly difficult to write.

And for the record, it is not that a jab was made at a Divine. It was that something that in any other case would get said person slammed very harshly for sexual harassment was used against a Divine, due to an OOC Dare, also using OOC knowledge that his character could not truly die as a result of Terentia's wrath for saying such things to Her. Forgive me, as I have never found sexual harassment towards another player, or another fellow volunteer 'hilarious'.

I believe I summed my explanation up just above, as has Xenthos just below. Forgive me again, as I fail to find your opinion of myself worth much, if anything. Especially considering you've made it apparent that such a gross display of disrespect is perfectly acceptable, even funny as long as it is towards a Divine, especially one who is a volunteer.

Last time I knew Bellator was an OOC clan. I guess the fact they use it for IC means will have some very interesting repurcussions.

... No, it's definitely OOC. unsure.gif quickexit.gif
Yuniko2006-05-30 05:26:12
Not really OOC, he thought it, spoke his mind on an OOC clan, then was dared. He didn't have to and his character technically "thought" of it, and was taking time to think on what to do. It's not OOC information he shouted.

Me thinking of something != Xenthos thinking of something, by the way. I sometimes have OOC comments on certain situations that Xen would never even dream of thinking, much less saying.
Rhoan2006-05-30 05:31:08
His character didn't think of it. His OOC self thought of it and asked to be dared to say it. It wasn't until he was dared that he did in fact say it.

Meaning that based on "OOC clan" discussion he acted IC.
Unknown2006-05-30 05:33:54
I think the real issue is the idea that you can disrespect a being ingame knowing full well that you will not suffer any real long-term permanent damage. In all truth, unless you're playing an extremly F'ed up (and I don't think any of us know how to really roleplay someone so mentally abnormal that we do not fear beings with practically infinite power to destroy us) then your character should be acting as though what they say and do towards the Divine can have grave impacts on his or her life.

Can you prove his character wouldn't have thought of it? No.

Everything his character thinks his player obviously has to think. So, saying he OOCly thought it does not mean he didn't think it IC.

You people REALLY need to get a grip on how characters and players are connected.
