I'm still rather new to the game and Divine interaction. I keep seeing this message:

Without warning, agonising pain stabs you in the chest. It spreads down your limbs and up your torso in squirming icy tendrils, and your eyes are blinded with a crimson radiance as Fain's mind momentarily touches yours.

Of course Shiawas grovels in the dirt, straightens herself and asks what he would ask of her. But I never get a reply. Does this happen just randomly to let Shia know he's there and watching?


Does this happen to anyone else?

Try praying to Fain at a shrine and ask him about the sensation. He had a curious notation when I commented on it.

Pretty sure that's how Fain lets you know he's paying attention to you.

I said something on an OOC aether once, and he did that, and talked to me IC about what I said. I felt like an idiot tongue.gif

Okay. Good. Now I know.

Thank you. :]

Heh. He did that to me awhile back after I stopped offering corpses. It was the first time, and it scared me into committing a merian/elfen genocide.

Ja. Actually, if memory serves, it's Fain Scry 2.0. Essentially seeing the room through your eyes. It's way more fun to pray and ask him or one of his about it. Jigan essentially got told that Fain was borrowing his eyes to see for a moment and that the pain and discomfort was something he was unaware of. He hasn't changed it to dull the pain, if you will note.

Several times Jigan hit the ground and Hail Fain'd and then he started asking around and got told that. Since then, he uses it as a method of Fain taking notice and thus an invite to listen to him babble. Hasn't had that message in awhile now.

It's a Fain scry, yes.

I generally get it before Fain summons me.

.. really. I always thought it was just "I'm watching you."

Well I can't be absolutely certain as I'm not Fain, but I'm pretty sure he is checking out where you are so he doesn't summon you in the middle of hunting or while you're afk in a manse.

pft, he's done it before. Last time it was in the middle of a guild meeting.

Well he's not always thoughtful. Sometimes he want you now, and you just have to deal with it.

That's his intro message for when he lets order members know he is there. Everyone sees it. All divinity have one.

edit: or a scry, I guess. I think it's more like a farscout biggrin.gif

His intro message is different.

No it's not. Eventru has one too. He has the one where he shows up, and another which is completely different, his scry/farscout/"I'm watching your ass" emote only for the order.

Hehe, if Eventru needs me he does one of three things: summons me out of nowhere, appears out of nowhere, or starts illusioning himself as me at the Pool.
Celina2009-03-24 03:40:58
Eventru does have piss yellow paragraphs to announce his return, which Fain is lacking.

It all evens out in the end.

Wow. Fain is kinky. RAWR hiss hiss.

Well, I hear Eventru enjoys golden showers.
