Energy wreathes itself about your body to heal your limbs.

It looks like you're on fire from third person.


It's more like the kamehameha beam of Novice Killing Doom. I mean, fire isn't exctly crackling lightning-energy. I used to have a restore;growl %1 alias to intimidate troublesome novvies tongue.gif

I was talking on Skeleton Hearth about melting jewelry to get comms back. It used to be that you'd get back an alligator if you used one in the item, and they'd be alive.

(Skeleton Hearth): Leiliadhe (from the Prime Material Plane) says, "I didn't get any alligators back."

Tridacna along a row of shops. (road).
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. The bright sun
shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. A statue of Trysalis
stands here, memorializing her noble spirit. An attractive young dealer is
standing here, wearing a nametag that says, 'Laura.' A dragon turtle rests here,
an air of majesty on its features.

Laura has sharp eyes and long slender fingers. She has blonde tresses that
cascade down over her shoulders, and is slightly tall for a woman. Her figure
competes with the blackjack table for the attention of most male and some female
gamblers, no doubt.
A fine whiskey exudes a quiet confidence.
She weighs about 150 pounds.
You see nothing in it.

WTF?

The same people who buy enchantments from the characters of players who don't know the first thing about magic.

Though on that note, it's sometimes frustrating that so many players of a -text- game seem unable to muster up English skills. It would be like participating in a bike race without knowing how to wear spandex. You can do it, but it ain't pretty.

I can understand that for some people, English is a second language. But really... you all know who I'm talking about, right? You've met them. You've cringed. You've read and re-read trying to make heads or tails of what they say. Most of you. Some of you?

Anyhow!

I don't have a handy good quote, but I'll use a quote out of context.

QUOTE(Death of Pie)
You see Tervic yell, "I like cheese!"


RIP, pie obsession.

PUBLIC NEWS #1079
Date: 12/16/2007 at 14:18
From: Kalas Derian
To : Everyone
Subj: Public Service Announcement

Explorers of the Basin, I write this to inform you of a new sort of
venom which has recently been discovered. Since it does not yet bear an
official name, I shall refer to it from this point simply as
'celestenemy'. Do not take this venom lightly - it is the most
contagious of any I have yet seen. Whereas most poisonous substances
require a blade of some sort to reach your bloodstream, celestenemy
seems to possess the unique ability to travel through your skin itself.
It is carried by many creatures, who seem themselves immune but happily
spread the condition around as they can.

Some of you may wonder how a Serenwilder such as myself would know of
such things. Yes, for those of you who guessed, it is true - e'en I have
been infected. My condition was caused when I came into contact with a
beast known as The Talkan. I did touch this Talkan only twice with my
bare hands - patting him on the back. Before I even knew what had
happened, I was infested with celestenemy, even with such minimal
exposure. The condition did result in my death, among other afflictions.

There is not yet any known cure for celestenemy. It is suggested that
the condition might be forced into remission if you simply find the
creature which infected you and pour buckets of gold down its throat.
However, this is not guaranteed to lead to a permanent cure; remission
is unfortunately common.

Beware, good people of the basin, should you encounter The Talkan or
others of his kind! Simply to touch him may very well leave you a victim
of celestenemy. Keep on your guard at all times; do not underestimate
the threat of the terrifying creatures which bear this venom. I have
heard they might even spread it through the air or possibly even the
aetherwaves, should you anger them.

If you have any further questions, do feel free to contact me. I am
considering forming a group to discuss and research this issue further,
as well as to support others who have fallen victim to celestenemy.

Your kindly public service announcer,
Kalas Derian

Maybe, maybe not. I think it's great because Derian expressed his unhappiness in a very creative, funny and IC method. Satire FTW!
