A river of lost souls.
Miles of blood make up a river that laps hungrily at a singular beach of ground bone fragments and
black sand. The sounds of Nil are all but overbearing, as they mix with the beating waves on the
shores of the beach. A constant eerie crimson fog causes the reflections from the river to produce a
quixotic affect that mirrors the many faces that lie beneath the water. A sea of hands can be seen
reaching for something to carry them from their eternal torment, souls of the damned that have been
damned to the eternal torment of drowning in their own burdens. A malevolent demon prowls here.
Ur'Mage Revan n'Kylbar, Avatar of Destruction is here, shrouded. He wields a twisted staff in his
left hand and an iron shield in his right. There is an aetherways portal here.
You see a single exit leading south.
9579h, 5061m, 6600e, 10p elrxk<>- (M- 21)
The aura of divine fire seethes around you, restoring you fully.
A Divine wave of healing washes over Desitrus, and he looks heartier and more aware.
The divine aura of curing around Desitrus hums briefly as it draws an affliction from his body.
9579h, 5082m, 6600e, 10p elrxk<>- (M+ 21)
A malevolent demon slashes at Desitrus with a barbed tail.
9579h, 5082m, 6600e, 10p elrxk<>-
The space around Desitrus twists strangely as you attempt to attack, and somehow your aggression
meets only air.
9579h, 5082m, 6600e, 10p lrxk<>-
Revan's aura of weapons rebounding disappears.
Revan points at the tainted earth beneath Desitrus's feet, willing the earth to swallow him whole.

The ground begins to tremble.
9579h, 5082m, 6600e, 10p lrxk<>-
You must regain equilibrium first.
9579h, 5064m, 6600e, 10p lrxk<>- (M- 18)
The aura of divine fire seethes around you, restoring you fully.

You have recovered equilibrium.
9579h, 5082m, 6600e, 10p elrxk<>-
9579h, 5082m, 6600e, 10p elrxk<>-
Desitrus begins to tumble towards the south.
9579h, 5082m, 6600e, 10p elrxk<>-
The divine fire wreathing your body shimmers away at your action.
You move over to block the south exit.
9579h, 5082m, 6600e, 10p elrxk<>-
You slam your forehead into the skull of Desitrus, who reels backwards and is stunned by the blow.
9579h, 5082m, 6600e, 10p elrk<>-
You must regain balance first.
9579h, 5082m, 6600e, 10p elrk<>-
A malevolent demon slashes at Desitrus with a barbed tail.
9579h, 5082m, 6600e, 10p elrk<>-
A Divine wave of healing washes over Desitrus, and he looks heartier and more aware.
9579h, 5082m, 6600e, 10p elrk<>-
A beam of moonlight comes down from the sky and bathes Desitrus in light.
9579h, 5064m, 6600e, 10p elrk<>- (M- 18)
Revan's finger trembles and he bares his teeth in a hideous grimace. A small crack appears in the
ground beneath him.

9579h, 5064m, 6600e, 10p elrk<>-
You have recovered balance on all limbs.
9579h, 5064m, 6600e, 10p elrxk<>-
The Fields of Injurious Schemes.
A stunning fiend stands here, playing with its hair. A black-skinned imp squats here, long tail
twitching.
You see exits leading east, southeast, and south.

9579h, 5064m, 6600e, 10p elrxk<>-
A squat imp exclaims, "Your screams will echo for eternity, enemy!"
9579h, 5064m, 6600e, 10p elrxk<>-
The Fields of Crooked Lies.
A palpable, seething hunger - endless, terrible, and awesome to behold - distorts the air in a
gibbous miasma, heralding a war shrine of Morgfyre nearby. With forest green eyes, a glossy wyvern
with multi-coloured feathered wings prowls around here. Thrusting her sapphire tusks in the air, a
silver haired mammoth with feathered wings stomps about here. A black-skinned imp squats here, long
tail twitching. Ser Shuyin is here, shrouded. He wields a blackened justiciar's rapier in each hand.
You see exits leading north, east, south, and west.
9579h, 5064m, 6600e, 10p elrxk<>-
Ahh, I am truly sorry, but I do not see anyone by that name here.

The Desert of Incalculable Grief.

the air from the tainted earth of Nil.

The Mists of Nil.
A palpable, seething hunger - endless, terrible, and awesome to behold - distorts the air in a

The Desert of Incalculable Grief.

A malevolent demon howls at Desitrus and smashes a clubbed foot into his knee.
9579h, 5082m, 6600e, 10p elrkp<>-
Laughing maniacally, Revan clenches his fists in triumph as the ground splits open beneath Desitrus,
releasing foul smelling vapour and a blast of fetid heat. He hovers momentarily over the gaping
earthen maw before being sucked screaming down into its darkness, his cries abruptly ending as the
stinking chasm rumbles shut.
Desitrus has been slain by Revan.
Having been too much for the mortal threads of Desitrus, he screams in agony as flames engulf his
body and burn it to a crisp.
Desitrus has left the area.

I...suppose you could call that superior tactics...:|
Ixion2009-01-16 08:40:56
This is just a snippet for this part. I looped and died later (lulz I need to update curing) but that wasn't impressive.

Yes, it certainly was. I timed charge to get him back in before chasm resolved, and springs/pit in the room would have ensured no regular running. I had to bait them out first and semi-feint a divine fire, but it worked nicely thanks much.

Edit: Got my answer, figured it was the elevation avoidance.

Headslam : Useful at any level.

Ixion2009-01-16 09:08:49
Actually in this log the headslam was 100% useless and a waste of a balance. I entered the command right as he tumbled, so.. useless.

...wouldn't it stop the tumble by stunning him?

I suppose I'm just missing something.

No, you have to stun BEFORE the tumble starts.
Desitrus2009-01-16 10:10:41
I don't know about "superior tactics" and all that. It was more like a dumb move on my part considering I didn't make a forced dive alias yet, I forget I have domination and can just stop his insta. Also could have shielded on the other end or reflected and your charge would have failed. The timing was questionable at best, considering that I was out of the room for over 4 seconds and Chasm didn't stop, it finished in .7 of the tackle. If anything, superior tactics is Shuyin killing you 1v2 in an inactive demesne on an Enemy Plane.

Just poor play on my part not forcing him to drop the instakill instead of tumbling out, then not shielding, reflecting, icewalling north, or any multitude of options available. Self back patting not deserved, no puppy treat today. sad.gif

My end, with timestamps. Of note is chasm not making a body check for over five seconds, you getting in a tackle with .65 to spare, me not dominating or going defensive after tumbling. I don't have the log of you dying to Shuyin with a partner though and no channeled instakill, must have been some crazy tactics he employed.
Llandros2009-01-16 13:51:44
Well, i think the real question here is pretty clear.

Why would Desipuss have puppy treats? confused.gif
