A sense of palpable malice thrills you as the implacable Will of Fain turns to cast His shadow once more upon mortal things.

(Order): Morvior (from the Midnight Coliseum) says, "Hail, My Lord."

(Order): You say, "Hail, M'Lord."

(Order): Fain says, "In the arena once again, Morvior?"

(Order): Fain says, "I am pleased you have put aside your bookish ways."

(Order): Morvior (from the Midnight Coliseum) says, "Yes, My Lord. I aim to improve and please You."

(Order): Fain says, "I am unimproveable, knave."

Morvior (from the Midnight Coliseum) says, "I meant I improve and please You, M'lord."


Lolol. <3 fain&morvior

Before the Master Ravenwood Tree.
The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth. The dark heart of Glomdoring Forest is almost audibly beating in this, its shadowy centre. Tall, blackened trees surround this clearing, pressing together into an imposing barrier of rotten vegetation. Moulds and fungi are smeared across the plants, their pungent stench suffusing the forest. The branches are coated in dark slime, slick tendrils that hang downwards. Although a variety of trees might actually grow here, the black tar that coats them renders them indistinguishable. A thin black mist creeps between the trees, hanging low across the ground. The floor of the clearing itself is simply bare earth, cracked and dry. Overshadowing all is the Master Ravenwood Tree itself, jutting into the sky like a twisted fist. The sound of laughing crows echoes down from the treetops, a harsh sound for the ears below. The atmosphere vibrates with a palpable power. A marjoram bush flourishes here, spreading its delicate scent. A sedge of galingale is firmly planted in the forest floor. Brennan Stormcrow paces here, his cadaverous body twitching with sudden jerks. An animated skeleton stands here with a ghostly outline of a bat around its skull. An animated skeleton stands here with a ghostly outline of a spider around its skull. An animated skeleton stands here with a ghostly outline of a beetle around its skull. An animated skeleton stands here with a ghostly outline of a wasp around its skull. The Master Ravenwood Tree towers over everything here, pulsing with an immeasurable yet dark power. There are 10 shadowlord widowriders here. Casting darkness all around, a shadow totem thrusts up from the ground, chilling the air. There are 10 dark nighthags here. An ancient and skeletal tree surrounded by bushes of glittering black roses stands tall against the test of time. There are 2 giant bats here. A black direwolf is here, blending in with the shadows. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the ground. In the shape of an open palm, a metallic sigil lies here. A blackthorn sapling clings tenaciously to the ground here. A very small milestone lies here, bearing the name 'Daedalion'. A nut from a ravenwood tree leaf rests on the ground. Ciaran is here. He wields a long black chain with steel scythes with both hands.
You see a single exit leading north.

You feel the temperature around you to be about 115 F. The air is nearly completely still. The bright sun shines down, blanketing you with its life-giving warmth.

^--- I feel faint in my plate.

======================

Forren's lost it.

EDIT: more stuff



You have emoted: Tervic draws himself up to his full height, and, gazing
fiercely at Forren, raises a defiant fist in the air and proudly shouts out,
"Glory be to pie!"

Admiral Forren Shervalian, Herald of Knowledge says to you, "You are a strange,
strange man."

You say, "I know."

Arkzrael quickly clamps her hands over her mouth.

======================

Forren tells you, "Doom."
======================

Wow, up in the Serenwilde we're lucky if we stay above 50 F most of the time-- highest I've seen the Northern Wood has been 70+.

Never knew shadows and darkness made so much heat. I thought all of that shade would help.

Choke is a blanket of shadows. Blankets inhibit thermal transfer. Nerf choke.

Well, Tervical, you've done it, you've finally done: you've broken Forren.

I hope your happy.

hmm... Tervical... is that like testicle?

Only if you have Tervical cancer.

To that, sir, I must say... "Boo."

You die. Plus that's old. REALLY FREAKING OLD.

Yes I'm happy.



That's a new one....

...now I want to know who said all that.

THE MOST ADORABLE NEWBIE SONG EVER!
Performed and Made by Teneway

Dedicant Teneway, Hart's Praise sings, "When I first found Lusternia/ I saw some
crazy sights,/ Like Dracnari breathing fire/And Totems that invoked Night."

Teneway winks knowingly.

Dedicant Teneway, Hart's Praise sings, "Now I take it all in my stride/ And can
adventure brave,/ 'Cause if I'm in a pickle/ Skein is on the newbie waves!"

Dedicant Teneway, Hart's Praise sings, "I like you, Skein and Spindle;/ You
taught me how to pout./ You never grow impatient/ And you never scream or
shout!"

Dedicant Teneway, Hart's Praise sings, "Glomdoring is a scary place/ And Tainted
some would say./ In Innocence I wandered in/ When I had lost my way./ Spindle
was there to save me:/ The mistake might have been mortal/ If he had not sent me
a tell/ Saying "BACK TO THE PORTAL!""

Teneway kneels onto one knee, demonstrating his humility and respect.

Dedicant Teneway, Hart's Praise sings, "I looove both Skein and Spindle;/ They
lead us through our doubt./ They never grow impatient/ And they never scream or
shout!"

Dedicant Teneway, Hart's Praise sings, "Now I am safe in Serenwilde/ Learning to
save my hide,/ But soon I'll risk the Basin/ And I'm sure I'll need a Guide!/
Spindle and Skein are there to help,/ Their hearts are deep as wells./ I just
hope when I'm 20/ That they'll still return my tells!"

Dedicant Teneway, Hart's Praise sings, "I adore Skein and Spindle;/ They're
cooler than my Trout./ They never grow impatient/ And they never scream or
shout!"

With a flourish of his arm, Teneway bows deeply.

Dedicant Teneway, Hart's Praise exclaims, "The END!"

That's awesome.

This just goes to advocate my old argument.

Spindle > Bobbins.

Everyone knows that already.

It also advocates my old argument that all Serenwilders are moderately to severely disturbed.

A small hut.
This location is flooded with shallow, crystal clear water. Occasional drops of
rain fall to the ground from a sky grey with pregnant clouds. Hidden deep within
the environment lies a mystic pathway. A shrine stands here.
You see a single exit leading east (open door).

You squat down and narrow your eyes, finally finding a mystic pathway that
twists and turns in the distance. Before it slips away, you dash forward and
rush along its winding tracks.

Not really a quote, but funny nonetheless. And here was me thinking someone had installed the be all, end all escape route of all time, only to find a never ending loop

That kid is good... you can pick up the tune he set it to with the rhythm and meter of the rhyme alone... Wish I could do that :-p
