[Wehnimer's, Cheridin Ave.]
The intersection of the broad avenue with the narrower byway connecting to the bazaar to the west creates a fleeting bottleneck in the foot traffic. Older wood and stone buildings, mostly small shops and offices with upstairs lodgings overlooking the street, predominate here.

[Wehnimer's, Cheridin Ave.]
On the west side of this narrow stretch of Cheridin Avenue is the wooden back of the Moot Hall, and the dour building that houses the local constabulary and its jail looms along the other side of the street. To the southeast, a stone dome rises over the compound that surrounds the Landing's largest temple. The traffic here flows quickly north and south without much pause. You also see a large black vulture that is flying around.
Also here: Krumble

Several small shops crowd along the street, which is composed of the back walls of the high buildings bordering the central square. Each storefront vies with the others for street space and the attention of the many travellers who pass through here. Other traders, hoping to take advantage of the traffic attracted by the nearby temple, have set up stands and pushcarts spilling over with clothing, trinkets and souvenirs gathered during their travels far and wide. You also see the clerics' shop.

Your surroundings blur into a white fog . . .

[Courtyard]
A well maintained and healthy garden occupies the entirety of the courtyard. The air here is cool and crisp, though the sun's strong rays beat back any feelings of cold. In the center of the garden is a natural spring bubbling up several inches above the surface of the encircling pool of crystal clear water. A large stone and iron gate blocks the entrance to the monastery flanked by a statue of a woman carrying a crystal staff and a set of crystalline keys facing a second statue of a kneeling young man bedecked in battle-worn black chain armor. You also see a large fel tree and a polished marble bench with a rose-marrow potion on it.
Also here: Toussaint who is sitting, Biodes who is sitting, Anemegus who is sitting
Obvious paths: west

[A Silent Path]
A chilling wind pursues the trail here causing several small plants to sway to and fro, caught in its unyielding grasp. To the east a flourishing garden unfolds from the edges of the rich forest. A stream of clear water flows out from the garden paralleling the path for some distance. Sunbeams dance and refract off of the windows and sides of a monastery, lending the appearance of a rainbow like aura enshrouding it. Hushed sounds, like garbled voices, whisper upon the wind.
Obvious paths: east, west
>prep 717
As you begin to prepare the spell the wind blows small objects at you thwarting your attempt.

[A Silent Path]
The sun's rays penetrate through the umbrage here and are baking the path into a cracked and rocklike surface. The beams dance across a small stream as it bubbles and turns northward being split into irrigation channels to be consumed by the monastery's fields. In the distance, monks wearing robes of pure white, labor in a field while a lone monk, adorned in a silver trimmed black robe, watches their toil from a balcony.
Obvious paths: east, west

[A Silent Path]
Animated leaves skitter west on the wings of a light breeze, catching every so often on the small stones that protrude from the red clay surface of the path. Imprints, marring a soft section of the clay, provide evidence of recent passage. Traesharm bushes flourish along the fringe of the woods, though their bounty has already been harvested by the small woodland creatures that hastily scurry about. You also see a trail leading out of the forest to the west.

[Wehnimer's, Exterior]
The smell of the sea is quite strong here and you can hear the sound of crashing waves to the north. The logs that make up the high palisade that surrounds the town have been treated with oils but small cakes of salt, deposited by the moist saline air, still can be seen clinging to the wood. You also see a trail leading east into the woods.
Obvious paths: north, south

nice... but what was it for?

Oh. Well, Krug was raising me the other day after I got hanged on Teras and sent to the landing. He decided to use the ACT command to spit on me and cover me with dirt. That's why he died. Krumble, on the other hand, stole from me while I walked through the Park. Fancy catching them both in the same room like that, eh?

This happened last night too. I get disconnected then ghosted in the game. I manage to get back in within 10 or so seconds after power cycling my router, but then I have hell to pay for "slamming." As far as the game's concerned I'm only gone for a fraction of a second. Man, this is really starting to piss me off. Anyway...

The world before you dissolves into a grainy montage of color...

You find yourself wandering amidst endless streaming light and vast nothingness. This place feels torn between two powers, polar opposites vying for your loyalty. You are surrounded by the spirits of those who could not choose. The only way out seems to be through light or darkness.

Time has no meaning as you wander aimlessly amidst the uncomfortable tugging for your attention. Hopelessness washes over dreams you once held like the creeping tide of doom.

After what could be moments, or perhaps an eternity, the goddess Lorminstra finds you wandering in the endless space and speaks soothingly to you. She gently reassembles the pieces of your tattered soul and then, taking you by the hand, the goddess leads you back to mortality...

You sense the link between you and your narrow-winged falcon begin to slowly weaken.
You feel drained!

They guys on the officials have all but proven that crit padding on armor does not assist with maneuver attacks.

I have independantly verified this as well. If it *does* affect maneuvers at all, it is certainly way different than the way it affects physical attacks.

Level constant, my chance of death percentile did not change with standard non padded armor, heavy crit pad armor, and exceptional crit pad armor. Three suits were used to test the effects on maneuver attacks. The attacks tested were Roa'ter burrow, stone fist, boil earth, and rock slapping.

If griffin drops are somehow different in nature and we know for a fact that padding actually does assist those, I apologize for wasting space in this thread.

Who are these "guys on the officials"....anyone credible? I can't believe it is, because crit paddings effect on maneuver attacks is completely obvious, against all the maneuvers you mentioned, including the griffin head drop. It's not a guarunteed survival feature, but you are much more likely to get shorter stuns, less instant death crits, etc.

You're a pure caster right? You've already got a boatload of negatives going into any maneuver attack equation, so it's possible it's not as noticable to you. Are these other pure casters doing this research?

Other than profession, race, and training, padded armor (and I guess ranger armor in some cases nowadays) is the ONLY way to increase your defenses against maneuver attacks. I'm calling bullshit on their research...with nothing but anecdotal evidence to back it up, so there!

It's so easy to test with a few boil earths, and the results are glaringly obvious that the padding is having an effect. Testing it on roa'ters, one of the critters in the game notorious for killing characters 60 levels it's senior, is probably not the best way to get accurate data.

Other than profession, race, and training, padded armor (and I guess ranger armor in some cases nowadays) is the ONLY way to increase your defenses against maneuver attacks. I'm calling bullshit on their research...with nothing but anecdotal evidence to back it up, so there!

It's so easy to test with a few boil earths, and the results are glaringly obvious that the padding is having an effect. Testing it on roa'ters, one of the critters in the game notorious for killing characters 60 levels it's senior, is probably not the best way to get accurate data.

Just about the opposite. I'm a warrior. The armors I tested were suits of full plate. Standard, HCP, and ECP.

No bullshit whatsoever. Everyone seems to get the same results.

Edit: Oh, all the other number crunchers are warriors too.

This is all I can confirm with 100% certainty though: No matter how much padding you wear, maneuver attacks always retain a possibility of killing you outright.

Well shit, I could have told you that without wasting my life looking at numbers. In my experience, crit padding helps against a variety of maneuvers but not all. It doesn't help for shit in the Stronghold, but I've never died from a fall, boils, a drop, or a roa'ter burrow.

No idea who "Mark" is, but then I still laugh at Anathemususus simply because he was all gung ho about dodge adding to maneuver defense when it clearly didn't. I even proved it didn't. But then I won't listen to research from a character who hasn't seen the second half of the game level wise, or used armour beyond somewhat padded, either.

I think your point about how low level he is, is very valid. The Stronghold and Bowels maneuvars are certainly much more lethal to me than Roa'ters and Boils. I concede that point.

As a percentile of how often I hunt, I also die much less overall from wearing ECP full plate than wearing regular, even though I'm a warrior with 60%+ redux and never get more than a rank 1 crit from anything but maneuvers anyway.

SO I guess what I'm saying is from my gut feelings alone, it seems that my armor helps me awesomely, but when I try to chart it out, I can't find the benefit against the maneuvers at all.

I'll keep wearing it no matter what.

I've had a totally different experience, although my experience is based on a ranger that always had mobility on, was never encumbered, and was only wearing heavily crit padded brig. FGB made stone fists a non issue for me--and I mean a super noticable change. The only way a stone fist could kill me (when I was like level) was an open roll. 9/10 it's just a short stun.

Other maneuver attacks, like those exploding glaes soldiers that used to appear during invasions, can be nearly impossible to survive if you aren't wearing padded armor. If you are, you just get minor wounds (assuming you don't dodge outright).

You might have a different experience wearing heavier armor, but that might just be the armor penalties outweighing the bonus of the padding, or making the padding's effects less noticable. It would be like a warrior attempting to test crit padding, and only testing it with crit padded plate, and non crit padded plate (plate has the worst maneuver penalty in the game).

Anyway, crit padding is the best defense against maneuver attacks (that anyone can acquire). Don't listen to warriors that research crit padding in this case. They are completely wrong.

So useless, yes. Misinformation, no.

It's testing done without tracking all of the relevant factors (race/profession/encumberance/wounds/scars/armor/skill training/stats/probably 50 other factors), which means it's completely invalid.

They guys on the officials have all but proven that crit padding on armor does not assist with maneuver attacks.

This statement you made earlier is simply completely false. I've tested crit padding THOUSANDS of times, mostly in GS3 I'll admit, but plenty of times in the GS4-Test Realm as well as GS4-Live. It helps against maneuver attacks. I haven't found any maneuver attacks it DOESN'T help against.

You are right, my quoted text should have had the phrase "with death percentiles" at the end of it. If it had that, it would have been accurate.

Everyone certainly sees reduction in pure damage numbers on things like boils, and reduced stun times. I've seen no effect, numerically, with tracked percentages, on the ability of manuevers like stone fist to generate a death crit. It may very well be that such maneuvers can ALWAYS induce death crits on high open rolls (which we can't see), and that no level of padding can prevent that. In fact, I'm nearly certain that's true.

When you are tripled in dodge, wearing ECP full plate armor and are 10 trains over a Shaman, and a stone fist can do 25 damage and kill you...that's gotta be some kind of open roll mega crit.

He's a warrior in full plate (worst maneuver penalty in the game). I realize he has more padding than the average warrior, but my point is that it might be the maneuver penalties outweighing padding benefits.

Padding definitely had a huge effect for me with stone fists (ie. no more dying to them 50% of the time). I only died to open rolls after wearing FGB, whereas before it was a nightmare in there.

Because instead of dying half the time an Illoke got off a stonefist, I suddenly lived through 95% of them (after equipping FGB). My hunting partners (wearing unpadded armor) still died left and right, which is a tradition I've attempted to carry on to this day.

I hunted there in GS3, not GS4...as a sidenote.

I imagine you survived stone fist by not getting hit by it. Yes I completely expect anyone in heavier armour to get whacked by stone fist, as they would by any maneuver over someone with identical training in brig. I don't see how padding has an effect on that.

No, I meant actually being caught in the first. Before FGB = curtains. After FGB = some bruises.

I played there in GS3 before any kind of reallocation, etc...and my stats dex/agi stats blew. I wasn't dodging much, if anything.

Just noticed that was an attrition death, not a crit death. Not that it matters.

I almost always dodge that shit outright, worse I get is a light stun, maybe a pair of minors. It's not so bad though; my DS actually goes up while bound w/ the stone fist, and it's easily broken via berserk.

Kaelowyn gazes up into the heavens.

The Guard Captain, leading a group of guardsmen, strides purposefully in..

With great ease, the Guard Captain grabs you and shackles your wrists.

"There you are! We don't tolerate your crimes in Ta'Illistim, no we don't! Come along now!" says the Guard Captain.

With a keen eye, the Guard Captain glances over you quickly. He says, "We'll not have you dying before sentence is carried out. Let's get you healed up, though there will of course be a slight charge for it." With that, a demure looking city official, evidently an empath, comes forward and heals all your maladies.

The Guard Captain then drags you off.

Arriving at the Hall of Justice, the Guard Captain gestures to a nearby guardsman who strips you of your possessions and tosses them into a box. The Guard Captain then drags you over to a metal grate that he quickly opens and throws you through. "Enjoy your stay until the judge is ready to talk to you!" he snickers softly.

With a dull thud the grate drops back into place, leaving you trapped.

In the distance you hear the Guard Captain say, "There are clothes on the floor if you want them, but I expect them to be returned. You have two weeks time to clear out of here and collect your belongings. After two weeks I like to clean out the clutter in my office."

[Hall of Justice, Oubliette]
Silence. Loneliness. Despair. Here you are lost, with no clear idea of when you will be found. The oubliette is a round, featureless room, with no visible entryway or exit, save for a tiny grating some thirty or more feet above you. Water drips down steadily from the metal grate, causing a faint rhythmic tapping noise to penetrate the ever present silence. You also see a pair of drab grey pants and a shabby buckskin tunic.
Obvious exits: none

Rusteek had shot Revon several times before this incident, all while remaining hidden. Revon just finally caught him out of hiding.

Revon, you forgot to mention the fact that you had someone else help you to get Rusteek out of hiding, so dont be a hypocrite.

Also, If I was helping rusteek to the point where you are suggesting, you would of been dead far before you had a chance to swing at Rusty.

Revon, you forgot to mention the fact that you had someone else help you to get Rusteek out of hiding, so dont be a hypocrite.

So many people offered Revon help just so they could see Rusteek die. Basically, that brings me to the conclusion that he pulls the same crap with almost everyone in illistim. Revon denied every bit of help that was offered to him because the outcome was still going to be the same.

Also, If I was helping rusteek to the point where you are suggesting, you would of been dead far before you had a chance to swing at Rusty. This was the first instance where I unstunned him, but since you decided to swing at me you have brought my character into this squabble. I was merely watching prior to your attack.

Actually, YOU brought your character into the squabble when you did that. Revon warned Malaekai previously not to get involved and he obviously ignored it so dont complain about whatever the consequences may be.

Also, Revon was already prepared to fight more than one person. That is how your group (Apoc, Jamus, Malaekai, Rusteek) works. One of you start trouble just so the rest can finish it and Revon was ready to take out all four of you as soon as the situation started.

Malaekai

03-25-2007, 05:35 AM

I am a cute little island, as a matter of fact.

Getting your little ranger buddy to cast sunburst sounds like denying help alright. And if you consider the random stare, grunt, and glower to be a significant warning then you are correct. Other than that I have no recent recollection of a 'warning', let alone any other interaction, from Revon.

As far as me unstunning Rusty? Consider it on par with the ranger revealing him from hiding. The only difference was I, nor Rusty I would imagine, felt the need to take a swing at him after the fact. Which may be why it is Revon who has the larger group of people who would like to see him dead. And because Revon acts on impulse alone, those people may get a purposeful chance to see that through.

Please do not confuse this with complaining, Malaekai is happy that he can now finish some unsettled history between he and Revon. I am just concerned about Revon's well-being, as he may have bitten off more than he can chew.

Oh and the log proves that I was in a rush and made an error in making it readable on the forums. Let me correct it.

So many people offered Revon help just so they could see Rusteek die.

Don't go thinking people like Revon much better, cuz they don't. Rusteek is just a blatant thief and few like people like that. Revon is a loud mouth asshat, and they aren't much more popular.

As far as me unstunning Rusty? Consider it on par with the ranger revealing him from hiding. The only difference was I, nor Rusty I would imagine, felt the need to take a swing at him after the fact. Which may be why it is Revon who has the larger group of people who would like to see him dead.

Except one of you decided to take Trils hand twice.. Who knows if you would have gone further without someone bringing up a sanct right after.

Tayre says, "Whoops."

Xeroz winces.

Suddenly you have the strangest feeling that you are being watched.

Your ghostly voice screams out that you wish to drop all charges against Tayre! A townperson jaunts off, proclaiming that he'll inform the authorities.

I wasn't taking it further was just proving a point, both times were aimed at the arm. Tris was the direct result of me dying that time so he had to have something done to him...

I love when people talk about me. Yes I lie, steal and kill. I'm a thief.

The trail is almost vertical here, and travel would be impossible if not for the metal rings that some long ago hand has hammered into the rock to serve as handholds. They seem to have held steady for years as they themselves are covered with layers of the black ice that is everywhere. You also see a storm griffin that is flying around, a storm griffin that is flying around, a yeti, a lesser griffin that is flying around, the Akari disk and the Senja disk.

I did, and I let him kill me 2 more times just to make my case stronger :)... by the way grhim, just because I kill a retard like you, it doesn't mean I'll get locked out, I didn't even get an official warn, they didn't even mention it to me

(August 2006, Brazil) August brings us a winner from Brazil, who tried to disassemble a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) by driving back and forth over it with a car. This technique was ineffective, so he escalated to pounding the RPG with a sledgehammer. The second try worked--in a sense. The explosion proved fatal to one man, six cars, and the repair shop wherein the efforts took place.

Theres a death log.

Grhim was mad that the Gods didn't lock me out, that's why he came back attacking after putting me on WARN. In his fantasy land, if he reports someone, they need to be locked out.

Drisco

04-01-2007, 09:29 AM

With Allen on this one, GM's do what they see fit dont try and take matters into your own hands.

You passed it onto a GM if they dont see it fit for somone to be spoken to or locked out, you should see that there is no fault and should continue on whether you think they made the right or wrong desicion GM's are the authorities not the players.

Plus in my opinion Warning somone is the last result. After you try and to RP it out and doesnt work you whisper to them in OOC to stop and if still no results then you can warn them.

Maybe Allen was at fault but by doing what you did its now just as mutch your as his.

[Old Ta'Faendryl, Foothill]
Disordered piles of huge granite blocks lie strewn down the side of the hill, making navigation below the tower challenging at best.

A narrow path along the edge of the hill leads to the north and back eastward toward the center of the city. You also see a twisted crystal-tipped staff and a gleaming steel longsword.

A flight of cracked stone steps lead up the final slope of the hill, ending at the base of a large tower.

After what seems like an eternity, you feel the griffin's grip loosen and it drops your hapless corpse in an awkward heap.

When you've got a real bad start in GS:

>116 oldtez
*** TypoHelp: Converted "116 oldtez" to PREP 116 and CAST oldtez

You gesture while calling upon the lesser spirits to aid you with the Locate Person spell...
Your spell is ready.

You gesture into the air.
Your vision begins to become murky and clouded. You have a sensation of rapidly passing distance. Eventually your sight begins to clear and a vision of Oldtezren's surroundings fills your mind...

[A Dark Cave]
This narrow ledge high up the cave wall affords a perfect view of the lake below. The stone bridge curves back to the shore, almost invisible in the dim, green light. Piles of bones and metal scraps fill the crevices, making it difficult to tell what is and is not solid ground. You also see a falchion and a carrion worm.
Also here: the body of Oldtezren who is lying down

[Town Square, Small Park]
A small, shady park fills an old vacant lot behind a row of buildings, the bustling sounds of the square filtering through the passage to the north to animate the area despite its appearance of peace and serenity. A weatherworn grey marble statue of a stocky human in pioneer's clothing overlooks the park, his stone hat encrusted by the gifts of decades of passing birds and his right hand half-upraised as if it once held some now-missing object. You also see an animated falchion, the translucent Wizlo disk, the Emmra disk, a long-haired charcoal cat that is sitting, the Ositha disk, the Leyvhar disk and a large gold-trimmed wagon.
Also here: Khamaseen, Mahkeahel, Lady Foxs, Gemley, Apprentice Blagruth who is lying down, Risra, Wizlo who is sitting, Emmra who is sitting, Domnal who is kneeling, Lord Leviathoar who is sitting, Simbul, Bransen, Ragnad, Ositha, Zeoweb who is sitting, Leyvhar who is sitting, Drasyre, Riffington

Xandalf sarcastically says, "Oh yes, your guards did a wonderful job of cowering beneath the tables at the Inn while We killed the invaders."

Ponter glances at Xandalf.

Signamtocs agrees with Xandalf.

Xandalf dismissively says, "Alive because of you."
Xandalf shakes his head, totally at a loss.

Speaking to Xandalf, Ponter says, "I will give you this one chance to amend your words before I have you arrested for disturbing the public."

Xandalf dismissively asks, "Have Me arrested for defnding YOUR town?!?"

Xandalf kicks some dirt on the corpse of Ponter.

The Guard Captain stiffly marches in, with a number of weapon-wielding guardsmen behind him.

With great ease, the Guard Captain grabs Xandalf and shackles his wrists.

"Aha, rapscallion! I have you!" the the Guard Captain cries out.
The Guard Captain then drags him off.

Xandalf glances appraisingly around the area.

Xandalf warily asks, "Arrested for speaking the truth?"

Xandalf looks thoughtful for a moment, then shrugs.

Xandalf says, "The Vaalorians are a truly intelligent bunch."

He has a small scar across his left cheek, and a small crimson raven tattoo on his neck.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a lustrous crimson steel shield in his left hand.
He is wearing a crystal amulet, a flowing scarlet cape traced with arcing gold patterns, a gold-bound crimson leather scabbard, a gold-traced scarlet tabard, some crested deep crimson leather, a pair of ruddy crimson leather pants, and a pair of tall crimson-swirled boots.

The Guard Captain stiffly marches in, with a number of weapon-wielding guardsmen behind him.

With great ease, the Guard Captain grabs Xandalf and shackles his wrists.

"There you are! We don't tolerate rabble like you in Ta'Vaalor, no we don't! Come along now!" says the Guard Captain.

Ceyrin duels dirty in my mind. I only fought him a couple of times at the dueling pits during EG but he used every outside spell and imbed in the book and stated that since we never said they weren't allowed it was fine. Not cool in my book.

Well, while we are posting lengthy Boulder Duels with Futtilo in them, I'll do one. The other day I was challenged to a 3 v 1 duel against Futtilo, Ranil, and Vivaldi.

Please keep this in mind while looking at this: I was trying to NOT use guild skills, as it would have made it even more rediculously unfair than it already was. This is why I chose to use Madness at the possible result of crippling my attack (which occurred). I was basically just goofing around, but this was fun nonetheless.

A 3 v 1 duel to the stun:

[Upper Dragonsclaw, Boulder]
The crest of the towering boulder affords a good view of the surrounding countryside. To the north, you see the dense forests of the Lower Dragonsclaw. Looking northeast, the verdant grasslands sprawl down towards the coast. Gazing southward at the slopes, in the distance you see the snow-covered summits of the Dragonsclaw mountain range, shrouded in perpetual mist. You also see the Futtilo disk, the Necrotix disk, a blood red chemise, a tall glass of cold water, some ephlox moss, a spiced cigar and the Vivaldi disk.
Also here: Fenrift, Necrotix who is sitting, Erlena, Betyar, Wizricky, Ranil, Vivaldi, Sarvia
