Ardrak's Death

I'm not having a rant, or anything, I would just like to say, those who killed Ardrak (I know who they are, as do others.), actually made me realise Something.
I <3 Divine.

Hard.

You say to Captain Avarath, "Greetings, Captain. I seek a boon of ye."

You say to Captain Avarath, "Whether ye know or not. Ardrak appears t'ave been
slain."

You say to Captain Avarath, "The Megalith shall surely wither without 'eets
Caretaker..."


Captain Avarath says, "He will return as he always does. The Fates don't want to
have to deal with him so they send him back."

You say, "That might be the case, but it unnerves me that such a thing could
happen."

You say, "The mere chance is...unsettling, that it might be his time, and as
such, mayhaps the Megalith's time."


Captain Avarath says, "It is Magnagora's mistake for not watching over him or
hearing his calls for help."

You say, "We nary had a chance t'blink. However, aye, 'tis our fault."

You say, "M'thanks Captain, for the insight as t'Ardrak's reputation with the
Fates."


EDIT: Sorry, obligatory rant: WHAAAAAAA. They killed our NOVICE TEACHER. AWESOME WORK GUY. And gal.

I really think the Megalith needs to be able to have a statue at it.
Shamarah2006-12-10 12:12:06
Psh, it's been done before.

And yeah, the Megalith does need to have a statue.
Rakor2006-12-10 19:18:08
Who was it!
Aiakon2006-12-10 19:46:53
I really would rather that the whole city scape of Magnagora is not changed so that the Megalith can have a statue. What about just buffing Ardrak.
Ildaudid2006-12-10 19:53:26
If they buff Ardrak, people will want Meleris buffed... it will serve no point... but if every room around the megalith had statues... that may help some -shrug-

edit - also If standguard permanent would actually make guards stay in place.... as it is now, it gives the same line as standguard and I think the system catches only standguard, not the permanent part of the syntax, so the guards tend to run amuck when people move through... An easy, easy fix would be to make the guards say something different when ordered to standguard permanent, this would at least let people know that the syntax they typed went through.
Aiakon2006-12-10 19:58:01
Personally, I don't really care. It's not like Ardrak disappears for too long. It's not like it happens the whole time, and it's not like we don't have real people to teach the novices - which is better anyway.

Just leave it as it is, and slay Alodia so many times she doesn't know whether she's alive or dead.
Ildaudid2006-12-10 20:01:25
I am still curious how Alodia of all people can tank guards and Ardrak at the same time... thought they fixed Trueheal. biggrin.gif
Soll2006-12-10 20:09:46
There weren't guards there when we killed Ardrak. There was also a (small) group of us.
Ildaudid2006-12-10 20:11:55
Ahh that explains it then smile.gif damn you and your little dog toto too!!! biggrin.gif

Since you can't have a statue at the Megalith, you should be able to rune the Megalith dry.gif It's a statue, of a sort, isn't it?

Good luck trying to stick a rune on the top. ninja.gif

Otherwise, it seems like a good idea.

Umm, fly up with those bat wings? tongue.gif Or is it attached to the ceiling of the chamber?

Then Celestians should be able to destroy it with Critique. And chop down the Great Trees with axes.

Celest is able to have a Statue at the Pool, are they not?

Glom and Seren can definitely have totems at their nexus.

And if you're smart and keep guards at your nexus... guards + totem/statue == essentially invulnerable.

Yeah, we know you would find a reason to complain to fairness in a game biggrin.gif

Celest is able to have a Statue at the Pool, are they not? Yes, yes they are able to since it is considered outside and they even have a room above their nexus that has a statue, on top of rooms leading to their nexus.

Glom and Seren can definitely have totems at their nexus.

Yep, you are right Xenthos, Meleris is basically unkillable, unless you send 40 people into Celest, but why not just take over Celest then smile.gif

Frankly, what does it matter. Let's stop suggesting 'quick fixes' to negligible problems.
