Liberi Fatali
08-19-2006, 05:16 PM
I was on the boat to Vaalor today, and I noted that you can no longer attack the captain (and it's sancted). Someone asked why, and I said it was probably due to my killing of the captain. A few people requested the log, but when I came here to show them, the original version is mucked up (due to the change to these new boards, I reckon). Instead of bumping the thread and having people say, "WORST BUMP EVER!11111111" I'm just going to repost it.
Most of you have probably read this already, so just ignore it, etc.

I reported and asked why the gear couldn’t be picked up…
SEND[Khaladon] looks like meant for the captain only, and searching NPCs to strip them of their gear just adds work to the GMs which really isn't needed
Khaladon seemed like an unhappy camper today! But he’d get his revenge…

An elven captain asks, "Going to do it again?"

An elven crewman raises the gangplank onto the boat.

Jenovadeath says, "Let me contemplate momentarily."

Dracidjed murmurs a simple, mystical chant...

Dracidjed gestures.
Dracidjed's head looks better.

An elven captain says, "Take your time"
>
"Cast off the bow line!" shouts the captain.
>
An elven captain asks, "Got an amulet?"

An elven crewman leans over the side of the boat, unties the line and pulls himself back into the craft.

An elven captain says, "I want to see what this sword is worth."
>
Jenovadeath says, "You have ten seconds to hand my weapon back, and I just used five of them telling you so."
>
Jenovadeath glances at an elven captain.
>
The boat slowly pulls away from the dock.
>
The boat gently rocks as it heads out across the lake.

An elven captain holds the sword out over the water.

You sense the link to Jenovadeath's soul slip peacefully away.

Jenovadeath says, "..."

Dracidjed put a tincture of aloeas in his raw silk pack.

Jenovadeath exclaims, "O, okay!"
>You feel less drained.

Jenovadeath says, "I was... ah... a bit hastey with that response."

Dracidjed says, "This should be interesting."

As the dock slides away, minute ripples expand slowly through the opaque, dark waters surrounding your small transport.

An elven captain drops the sword.
>
Jenovadeath says, "..."
>
An elven captain catches it at the last second.
>
Jenovadeath swoons.
>
The boat rocks suddenly as something large breaks the water and splashes back down into the depths.
>
Jenovadeath says, "That was TRULY not funny."
>
Jenovadeath exclaims, "Okay! I apologize!"
>
Jenovadeath drops all defense as he moves into a battle-ready stance.

Jenovadeath moves to a kneeling position.

Jenovadeath exclaims, "Look?! One knee!"

Jenovadeath gazes at an elven captain, silently begging it to spare his life.

* Svardin just bit the dust!

An elven captain hands the sword to Jenovadeath and at the last second says, "Nah, I got an offer of 8 million already."
>
One of the elven sailors calls the captain over and points to the nearby shoreline. Shaking his head the captain says, "No, ignore it. Just keep rowing."
>
Jenovadeath says, "..."
>
Dracidjed asks, "Captain might I examine the swor a bit closer, without you using it on me?"

An elven captain shows Dracidjed the longsword. Truly, its the ugliest weapon ever created.

Jenovadeath stands up.
>
You do not feel drained anymore.
>
Jenovadeath says, "I beg to differ! You just have to have an acquired taste for it."
>
The elven captain shakes his head and says, "Anyone who wanders around the lake is quite a brave soul. You won't catch me wandering around those swamplands."
>
The feeling of weakness leaves you. Your spirits are somewhat rejuvenated.
>
An elven captain offers to exchange the longsword with Jenovadeath for 10000000.
>
Jenovadeath growls ferociously!
>
A couple sailors stop rowing for a minute to admire the nearby western shore, before the captain sees them and prods them both back to work.
>
Speaking to an elven captain, Jenovadeath says, "Blast you and your estrogenical treachery."
>
An elven captain says, "Hey! You stripped me. I thought your were trying something, funny. You know, a little light in your boots.""

Jenovadeath says, "It's not my fault you were too weak to fair against a mere void."

The northern lake bank coalesces slowly in front of the boat, appearing silently through the mist. A wooden dock juts out into the water.
>
Jenovadeath says, "Oh? You seem to be standing there naked with nothing but MY longsword."
>
An elven captain says, "No, thats something else."

An elven captain says, "The longsword in my hands."

The elven captain gestures at the dock and says, "Up Sylvarraend Road, you'll find our brothers, the Illistim. A bit bookish, but generally hospitable."
>laugh
You laugh out loud!
>
Jenovadeath hurls an especially vitriolic spasm of oaths in an elven captain's direction, probably managing to offend the gods if not the captain.
>
The boat slowly heads towards shore.
>
Jenovadeath says, "Verily, if you don't return that weapon to me..."
>The whites of Jenovadeath's eyes go dark as he chants forcefully in an archaic tongue.
>
The boat carefully pulls up to the dock.
>
Dracidjed says, "Well you might have to enlist some assistance from the spirits during Ebon Gate. ."
>
An elven crewmember picks up an end of a rope and scrambles onto the dock. He quickly and securely ties the rope to one of the pillars on the dock.
>
Jenovadeath grins at Dracidjed.
>
Jenovadeath says, "I don't think I need any assistance in taking this ignorant dotard out of the picture."
>
Dracidjed says, "Until then I think the sword might end up being his."
>
Jenovadeath says, "It's keeping my weapon safe that I'm worried about."
>
An elven crewmember scrambles back onto the boat and lowers the gangplank.
>
Lutiono just arrived.

* Kaladriel just bit the dust!
>
The boat's elven captain shouts, "All ashore for Sylvarraend!"
>
Dracidjed says, "Well, attacking while in the middle of the lake is not a sure way to do that. It might flip overboard."
>
An elven captain says, "Let me try this."
>
An elven captain asks, "Anyone got a cloth?"
>
Jenovadeath says, "..."
>get cloth
Get what?
>'Not on me...
You say, "Not on me..."
>
An elven captain says, "I think I can work out the blood stains on this."

Jenovadeath exclaims, "...!"

Jenovadeath exclaims, "You wouldn't!"

Dracidjed says, "Me either."

An elven captain exclaims, "Just trying to help!"

An elven crewman raises the gangplank onto the boat.

You laugh softly, trying to hide your amusement.

An elven captain says, "Do swear to never attack the captain again"

"Cast off the bow line!" shouts the captain.

Lutiono coughs.

An elven captain swishes the tip of the sword in the lake.
>
"Did ya hear about Aerhseth?" the captain asks. Snickering, he continues, "He showed up for work covered in flour and humming, and he's not the humming type, if you get what I mean." The captain winks at you slyly and falls silent.

Jenovadeath says, "If this isn't the most preposterous statement I've ever had to say..."

Lutiono shifts his weight.

The elven captain grumbles, "Those Vaalorian soldiers nowadays, mighty fighters, but too concerned about their drills and fancy maneuvers to do anything about what's living nearly on their doorstep!"

[Lake of Fear, Ferry]
The thick wooden planks of the ferry provide solid footing. Along the center of the ferry, wooden railings have been fitted with a row of long planks for rudimentary seating arrangements. Several elven crewmen line the sides of the ferry, each grasping a thick wooden oar. You also see an aquamarine gem, a spiderweb turquoise, a piece of white marble, a green errisian topaz and an elven captain.

Water laps about the pilings that hold up the greying surface of the wooden dock, the only sound to be heard across the dark and eerily silent lake.
