You notice XXXXXX reach into your pockets and remove 1 silver.
You turn quickly and grab XXXXXXX\'s wrist, causing her to drop your silvers back in your pocket!


You leap from hiding to attack!
You swing a blackened invar-hafted cleaver at XXXXXX!
AS: +432 vs DS: +320 with AvD: +29 + d100 roll: +65 = +206
... and hit for 57 points of damage!
Hard blow breaks the femur!
She is knocked to the ground!
She is stunned!
Invar-hafted cleaver clashes with fighting leathers!
[STR/DU: 89/224 vs. 27/227, d100(Open)= 25]
A dark shadowy tendril rises up from XXXXXXX\'s skin, writhes its way up a blackened invar-hafted cleaver towards you and lashes out malevolently...
CS: +435 - TD: +248 + CvA: -21 + d100: +73 - +15 == +224
Warding failed!
You feel a surge of intense energy suddenly tear violently at your body! You feel drained!
... and hits for 36 points of damage!
... 2 points of damage!
Minor burns to left hand. Ouch.
... 49 points of damage!
You fail to avoid the icy blast and that, as the story goes, is it!
Your SIGN OF SWORDS is no longer effective.
Your SIGN OF SMITING is no longer effective.
The brilliant luminescence fades from around you.
Your SIGN OF MADNESS is no longer effective.
You become solid again.
It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...



The judge studies you carefully, then motions toward the bailiff who cries out, "Here before ye is the malefactor Falgrin. Falgrin is charged with 1 count of impropriety. This 1 crime carries a total fine of 1090 silvers."

The judge glances at you and says, "The monotony of my day continues on. And trust me, you're not spicing it up. Moving right along... You think you're innocent, eh? Well...let me ponder the eviden...NO! Guilty as charged!"

He continues, "In order to make reparations, you may settle your debt one of three ways. You may either pay the fine of 1090 silvers plus any other outstanding debts you may have, serve a total of 20 minutes of incarceration, or do 20 minutes of community service around town. You may ANSWER me either FINE, INCARCERATION, or SERVICE as your choice. Choose quickly, now, lest I hold you in contempt of court for wasting my time."
>

>answer Incarceration

The judge nods curtly and says, "As you wish. I hereby sentence you to serve your time in prison. Perhaps being locked up for a while will show you the error of your ways. Remember that after you've served your time, you need to pick up your items as soon as possible. We're not your locker, and we'll sell the items to the poor if you leave them. Guards! Take this man away!"

A number of burly guards come in, set you in some manacles, and drag you away. You are taken to a small wagon and set in the back under guard. After a short ride, the wagon stops and you are escorted into the local prison. Soon, you find yourself locked in a cell to serve your sentence.

(note to self... incarceration sucks)

The muffled voice of a guard echoes from beyond the cell door, "Roll call! Time to make sure you're still alive and causing me grief! Falgrin, ANSWER me these questions in order, one at a time, and within two minutes. What is today's month, the number of the hour of the day in elven time, and the year?"

(Seems to come on every 5 minutes when in jail to make sure you don't simply go afk I guess)

The log wasn't to show how cool or uncool I was... was just showing some changes to GS4.

Everyone here already knows how cool I am. :smug:

What spell hit you when you hit her with cleaver?

Looks like a sorcerer was chanting DC.

Parkbandit

It's a spell that is cast upon the sorcerer... and if that sorcerer is hit by anything that stuns them, it will lash out at the attacker automatically.

Son of a bitch.. I was like HOW THE HELL DID I DIE??

Fun night all in all though.

Like I can do shit about that... jackass!

Sure, I could go get my wizard to spell me all up.. but why? I'm there to test.

And I CERTAINLY wasn't expecting that to happen...

Side note - She got thrown in jail for killing me in town.. looks like that spell could be abused alot by careful aiming folks.

I also like the changes to stealing, particularly that if you catch someone you will grab their wrist and force them to drop your loot back into your pocket/container. It'll make for some very interesting RP. :)

I didn't play around with it much.. but I think maybe they have given too much power to folks spotting thieves.

I only played for a little bit.. but no one was WATCHing me and I got caught nearly every time. Maybe it was bad luck and all.. or the crowds were down.

I plan on playing alot tonight there... testing out some stealing techniques.

Sure could use useless blind folks with plenty of silvers, gems and items in the park ::whistle::

Fully doubled for 75 trainings.

I need to do some digging tonight with people that won't mind being stolen from for me to make a true determination.

Hopefully there will be more than 24 people on tonight.

Everyone's invited. It'll be a steal fest in the park.. bring your own coins.

Hell.. since it's OOC anyways.. Falgrin will even give them back! WHAT A DEAL!

Tell me when Falgrin, and I can get into the test server to help.

Yes.. combine this with what I said... and it's true.

Sorcerers can now CHANT a spell after casting Cloak of Shadows. There's a list of the spells they can CHANT somewhere, but they basically include all the offensive Sorcerer and Minor Elemental/Spiritual, along with fog (I don't know why) and others. When they're struck it casts the spell once and I think the effect diminishes. I think the defense aspect of Cloak of Shadows remains, but they have to chant again.

StrayRogue

Not all the spells. Chant list I think works. Plus there is a chance it won't work, possibly even a chance of failure. Demonology helps the effect fire off.

Drew2
10-17-2003, 03:28 PM
I'm almost possitive all the OFFENSIVE spells are listed, which is what I said.

StrayRogue

Then your wrong.

SO I MISSED 4 SPELLS. FINE.

So then you are wrong, aren't you? Basically, all the spells bar Area Effect Spells can be chanted.

Here's the actual documentation:

712 Cloak of Shadows [SHADOWS]
Duration: 600 seconds +60 seconds for every Sorcerer spells known

Type: Defense/Attack

Cloak of Shadows does two things. Firstly it acts as a defense to the caster, cloaking him or her in shadows by providing the caster +25 Defense Strength (DS) and +20 Sorcerer Target Defense(STD), +1 DS/STD per Sorcerer spell ranks over 712, max at level. Due to the increasing bonuses of this spell, the mana cost is a base of 12, +1 for every 3 additional DS.

The second benefit of this spell is its retribution effect. The Sorcerer must cast Cloak of Shadows at themselves, then CHANT RETRIBUTION <spell number>, which causes the chanted spell to be cast at the target if the Sorcerer endures a physical attack. This retribution effect is a result of Demonology, which is not a sure science. The Sorcerer will not be able to always ensure that this retribution will be willing to strike the attacker for him.

Increased training in Sorcerous Lore, Demonology will aid the Sorcerer in ensuring the demon does his bidding. The Sorcerer well-versed in Demonology Lore may also find that this retribution is more easily able to strike his attacker. If the retribution is used in conjunction with a spell that does not allow the Shadow to strike out against a target (such as 130), it may still feel the need to do so and will turn upon its master.

Area affected spells, such as Quake or Major Elemental Wave, will not work with this spell.
