So I was hunting the Maaghara tower, and I was ambush attacked by major ewave by a shricken killing instantly for the lack of the spine, then this moulis came and did this.


A moulis sends one of its fibers slinking along your chest. Suddenly it begins to burrow into your chest cavity. Even while dead you can feel what would have been excruciating pain as the fiber moves around your insides. The fiber flips away from your body and retreats back into the moulis leaving only a small hole where it had entered.

I didn't realize what happened till later. I decayed and thought that it would heal everything anyways. I started feeling lots of shooting pain in my stomach and all over my body.. I initially thought that it's a new feature of dying.. feeling hungry ( duh!) it turns out to be something else.

Log was cut out because I didn't log it and was only able to cut and paste the ending. But I had people casting remove curse and undisease and unpoison and healing me and all those attention to no avail


[Ta'Illistim, Hanging Gardens]
The platform is sitting at a distinctly downward angle facing due northward, its deepest edge firmly planted into the center of Shimmarglin Court's cobblestones. The plants all bow in curious angles. The canopy's fabric lays in crumbled heaps. You also see an engraved modwir coffer, the Kapera disk, a jocular sunburst spirit that is flying around, the Celeerial disk, the Glimmin disk, a rotting modwir chest, an enruned steel box, an enruned fel chest, an ornery potbellied rock muzzlerat that is sleeping and a glaesine arch.
Also here: Dayun, Harliegha, Ewthanasia, Fushugro, Kapera, Vazzim who is sitting, Celeerial who is sitting, Mordja who is sitting, Bevy who is sitting, Gallahan

You say, I will try to fight it, but I'm afraid that it might cost me my life.

You sigh.

Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, Most likely, but some people have survived it.

You beam happily at Kapera!

Gallahan says, "Did she give birth to the moulises yet?"

You glance over at Gallahan and wince.

(Shalla touches her stomach in disgust.)

You cringe.

Speaking to gallahan you say, Don't make me waste my last remaining strength just to pinch you.

Pain shoots up and down your chest.
Roundtime: 3 sec.

You nervously say, I will try and disperse it from within.

Your eyes darken as you lean softly against your adorned orase runestaff gathering your power.

You close your eyes for a moment.

You angrily say, "I can't take this anymore."

The voice of Semiera asks, "What the hell is wrong with her?"

Speaking in broken common, Kapera says, "Moulis got her.. ."

Gallahan deeply says, "Baby moulis."

The voice of Semiera says, "Ah."

You say, "I'm going outside."

Gallahan nods.

>look

[Ta'Illistim, City Gate]
A cavernous opening in the cliff's steep face dominates the crest of the hillside, serving as the nearly impenetrable entrance to the great city built by House Illistim. A raised portcullis is barely visible at the top of the stony gate. Intricately carved columns flank the entrance, their crowns adorned with delicate silvered glyphs and toothily grinning gargoyles. Daylight shimmers across the glyphs, highlighting their curves and contours with subtle grace. You also see a yellow tent.
Obvious paths: southwest
Gallahan followed.

>wait
Time drags on by...
Roundtime: 2 sec.

Gallahan deeply says, "Hopefully it will come out."

A searing pain hits you and knocks you prone, your body jerking spasmodically. As you watch, your body rips open and several moulis scrapings burrow out and drop to the ground!
The deep blue glow leaves you.
A dark shadow seems to detach itself from your body, swiftly dissipating into the air.
The light blue glow leaves you.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.
The silvery luminescence fades from around you.
The air calms down around you.
Your breathing becomes more shallow.
The buzz of thoughts in your mind subsides.
The white light leaves you.
The very powerful look leaves you.
The bright luminescence fades from around you.
The powerful look leaves you.

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

...departing in 10 mins...

Gallahan closes his eyes for a moment as he slowly raises his hands to shoulder-level. You hear and feel a resounding low thrumming sound just as a multitude of sharp pieces of debris splinter off from underfoot, savagely assailing the area!

Ugh.

Always fun to see the reactions of people who witness it for the first time.

If you manage to catch it in time, there's some way to get Maaghara to clean them out of you before they hatch. Although few people know it and it'd take FAST moving to get the process to work.

Heh, yea, its always interesting to see first reactions of those who experience that.

I always get drug outside of town prior to being raised so the moulis will hatch before I'm resurrected. That way I dont waste another deed. Once the moulis hatchlings are killed then all you need is healed up and raised. Using this technique will save you a deed when this happens.

When my Empath's mother was impregnated by moulis, my empath took her outside of town and killed her, then killed off all the babies. Was fun.

ROFFLE. Touche Dazmar, touche.


Well, one still has a huge amount from the flower/deed place on Teras. The rest I use worn out vaalin picks and scarabs for.

I think Jungle trolls rip off your head right after they kill you and you can see it when you LOOK in the room for a short while after.

Anyway, congratulations Shalla on that Alien reenactment ... :weird:
