Selling Sorrow - sentient greatsword

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

I find I play less and less, so am putting Sorrow up for sale again.

The website that had all the info on it is down I'm sad to say, and I've no log of it anywhere that I can find anymore. Most of you know what it is and does, but I'll do my best to describe it here.

take sword
You remove a massive vaalorn sword from in your threaded carryall.
>look sword
The sword is forged out of the darkest metal you have ever seen. Thin tendrils of blinding violet light dance their way from the haft and along its length. For a brief moment you think you hear a slight moaning coming from the sword itself.

It has a ton of mood messages, it screams, shudders, etc.

Casts a few spells, void, call lightning, and tremors probably the best.

Is a real bitch until you bond with it (not the cman bond) -- you have to own it for I think 180 days before it "bonds" to you and you get this messaging...

>attack
You feel the sword submit fully to your will.
As you attack, your vaalorn sword seems to tug at your hand, as if subtly guiding your strike!
You swing a massive vaalorn sword at an Illoke shaman!
AS: +433 vs DS: +333 with AvD: +36 + d100 roll: +39 = +175
... and hit for 31 points of damage!
Blow leaves an imprint on the Illoke shaman's chest!
Your sword pulses once with a blinding violet light.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

Looking for 95m or 900 bucks.

[SHAFT]

You have a private message. I am interested, no bs.

[Khariz]

Here you go, sir:



Some years ago at one of the grand pavilion auctions I saw a two hander come up and Bankur won the bid on it. I waited years for this blade to come into my hands. Keeping track of its owner and whereabouts. Finally I own the weapon, and it has indeed caused Celtar much sorrow. Hence the name he has given it.

Bard Song: Done by Merryleon at much danger to himself.

You sing:

"Sword with a value untold

What price gets you sold"

The first thing you notice is that the sword is of normal

weight for a weapon of its type, yet there is something

irksome about its feel in your hand.

You sing:

"Sword that I find myself singing to

What purpose do you faithfully do"

The sword suddenly turns on you, lashing out!

The sword starts to pulse with a dark rhythm, drawing you

closer. You begin to feel your soul weakening as you start

to submit to the bidding of the sword. Rage builds within you

driving you bezerk!

You sing:

"Sword with a value untold

What price gets you sold"

An aura of great magic surround the sword, its vibrations

lashing back at the sound of your voice. The sword begins

to vibrate in your hands, nearly uncontrollably. You realize

with a start that this weapon has a life of its own.

Merryleon struggles to hold on to the sword as his sings.

You sing:

"Sword before I toss you with the waste

Is there a purpose to your taste?"

As you sing, you sense resonant vibrations coming from the

sword, matching pitch with yours. Soon a harmony is

achieved, and a brilliant display begins to materialize before

you...

Dark skies loom overhead and thunder-bursts roll though a

blackened valley. Two lone figures stand locked in mortal

battle with monstrous blades. War songs fill the air, brilliant

flashes of lightning obscuring your view. When they have

cleared, the battle is at an end, one of the fighters impaled

upon his own sword. Suddenly a horrible shrieking deafens

you, as the fallen figure is seems to be consumed by his

blade...

You sing:

"Sword with a value untold

What price gets you sold"

Your breath becomes labored as you try to coax yet more

out of the sword...

Images race past with unbelievable speed! Foes falling in

battle... Friends turning against each other... Thousands of

faint voices, echoing through the sky... Hundreds of years

passing in mere seconds... All the while a horrid screaming

fills your ears. As you attempt to delve deeper into the

sword's history it suddenly lashes out at you!

You are stunned!

You sing:

"Sword that I find myself singing to

What purpose do you faithfully do"

The sword suddenly bathes you in a warm red light, pulsing

with your breaths in a hypnotic rhythm.

You learn nothing new about the sword.











Ok besides being x6 enchanted. This is everything I've learned about the blade. Its a "he" as well. From what I see from the bard song. Will it ever attune to Celtar? No idea. Fun roleplaying item but damn deadly to the weilder. A few typos I note in its abilites as well. New note: The sword starts at +18 the min training to hold it is 9th. The AS goes up on the sword as you train. I do not know the max bonus at this time. Though Celtar at 18th was getting a bonus of 36.

Further note: I think this is the message that starts when it starts attuning to you. (pure speculation on my part though)

The sword suddenly bathes you in a warm red light, pulsing with your breaths in a hypnotic rhythm.


p.s: baring the Thingol Diamond, Ive never seen such a heavly scripted item. Actually its much more scripted then the Diamond. And til I learn if it attunes or not, I wont be using anymore spirit draining powers if you follow. Three decays via spirit death were enough to teach me.<Grin>

(1. Violent light, Focused implosion)

You point your sword at a cold guardian. Suddenly a dim

violet light lashes out at a cold guardian!

A void rips open in the area, but not very close to a cold

guardian.

Air sucked from a cold guardian's lungs.

+10 Hits.

The cold guardian screams evilly one last time and goes still.

The cold guardian dies an abrupt death.

A number of items ranging from 8 to 19 feet from the void

were picked up and sucked toward the blackness. The items

did an accumulative damage of 70 as they caromed off a

cold guardian. The void disappears without further incident.

(.B Other properties:)

(1. Berserking.)

The sword suddenly turns on you, lashing out!

The sword starts to pulse with a dark rhythm, drawing you

closer. You begin to feel your soul weakening as you start

to submit to the bidding of the sword. Rage builds within you

driving you bezerk!

Like warrior berserk. Also adds 9to AS during berserk as if I

had ranks of berserk at I think its 30 ranks. Minus to AS after

the berserking rage leaves that wears off like warrior

berserking. All the berserking verbs work as well.

The sword begins to glow with a deep crimson. Thin tendrils

of light reach out and grip you, passing through your body.

After a moments you feel the strength rush out of your soul

[Summertime]

Wowzers... amazin blade!

[Durgrimst]

Do you have to log in for the 180 days to count?

[Khariz]

I'm pretty sure you actually have to use it for it to bond to you, not just log in.

[Durgrimst]

I figured, but didn't know if there was a way to get around the time limit while I am deployed.

[Danical]

This is easily the most famous weapon in GemStone.

I'm fairly certain the true black ora weapons Paul created were based, at least in part, on this blade.

Additionally, at 90m . . . it's a fucking steal compared to what it's sold for before.

[Durgrimst]

I really want this, but then I would have to sell my maul. And I love mauls... Damnit!

[radamanthys]

yea, 90m is a steal, what with inflation being what it's been, plus the discount in pure silvers from what i've seen it on sale for.

[Drew]

It's an awesome blade, but not that awesome mechanically. I still want it though ;)

[Asha]

Stay points his sword at you. Suddenly, a blinding red light lashes out at you!
You notice a small cloud form above you.
Stay put a massive vaalorn sword in his armor-plated harness.

You hear the rumbling of thunder as the cloud turns an ominous dark hue!
>
Suddenly the entire world explodes! You are blinded by intense light and deafened by a tremendous explosion! By some miracle you maintain enough of your mental faculties to realize you've been struck by lightning from that cloud!
... 60 points of damage!
Electric shock causes a strong enough convulsion to snap your neck.
The powerful look leaves you.
The opalescent aura fades from around you.
You return to normal color.
The deep blue glow leaves you.
The air calms down around you.
The white light leaves you.
The very powerful look leaves you.
The light blue glow leaves you.
The dim aura fades from around you.

Seen from the eyes of the mighty Chica :) Muaahaha

[SHAFT]

While I'm still interested in Sorrow, this is completely different then the coraesine bastard sword on Krakiipedia huh? Does this turn into an orb or double strike?

[Khariz]

While I'm still interested in Sorrow, this is completely different then the coraesine bastard sword on Krakiipedia huh? Does this turn into an orb or double strike?

It's not even in the same universe as coraesine. This is much more impressive, but no, it doesn't do that stuff.

Edit: I mean it doesn't orb, or teleport, other neat things that coraesine does. It might double strike though. That tugging message he pasted is a bond-like message, so it could do that too.

[SHAFT]

Thats right, didn't the coraesine weapons attune to the player?

Not sure why I was confused. I've seen Sorrow in action many time when Celtar had it. I still want Sorrow though. Hopefully he accepts my offer.

[Khariz]

Well...Coraesine...only the pure perm-attuned stuff really bonded. The impure will behave if you have proper stats. It's messy.

[Some Rogue]

Well...Coraesine...only the pure perm-attuned stuff really bonded. The impure will behave if you have proper stats. It's messy.

No, not all impure is like that.

I have an impure one, it's attuned in the fact that no one else can ever use it but me but it hasn't bonded yet either. Eventually it will bond and stop backlashing or preventing me from swinging.

[Khariz]

No, not all impure is like that.

I have an impure one, it's attuned in the fact that no one else can ever use it but me but it hasn't bonded yet either. Eventually it will bond and stop backlashing or preventing me from swinging.

Okay...too much hangup on pure and impure. My point was that only the permanently attuned stuff actually bonds. The sellable ones will always backlash unless you have proper stats. I have the formula and have verified the truth.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

Sorrow is sold on a generous buyout. Thank you everyone for your interests.

[Xaerve]

Can you say who bought it? to keep track of it, etc.

[Khariz]

Can you say who bought it? to keep track of it, etc.


I did.

[Some Rogue]

Does this mean we get 100 more logs of you hunting with it now?

:wink1:

[Tolwynn]

Or until it sells again.

[SHAFT]

I'm calling next on Sorrow.

[Fallen]

Seriously. This blade needs a good home. Some Wizard involved in Militias needs to pick it up to own stuff during invasions. Seems like a good item for Rimalon.

[Drew]

I'm gonna eventually pick it up, when I do I'm gonna make my war wizard my primary character.

[Tolwynn]

I bought it too early, myself. Figure somewhere down the line I'll take another shot at it.

[Khariz]

Does this mean we get 100 more logs of you hunting with it now?

:wink1:

I'm sure you'll get plenty of those.

[AestheticDeath]

More like death logs...

[Khariz]

More like death logs...

That too, yes.

[AnticorRifling]

I'm gonna eventually pick it up, when I do I'm gonna make my war wizard my primary character.

I hate you.

[Khariz]

>go path
[Warcamp, Approach]
A dirt path leads over a rise of earth and down towards a collection of mismatching tents and huts. The rotting stench of the encampment's inhabitants lingers in the air, mixed with the aroma of cooked flesh and burning wood. A heavy grey haze of campfire smoke hangs over the warcamp and drifts down behind the rise of land, creating a pocket of concealment from the eyes of the nearby Grimswarm. You also see an obscured path leading out.
Obvious paths: north

[Warcamp, Entrance]
The entrance to the warcamp consists of nothing more than a large gap in a wall built of broken trees and shrubs haphazardly stacked upon the other. In the turned up earth by the entryway, a bloody child-sized hand reaches up toward the sky, a forgotten or discarded prize of the Grimswarm. Inside the entrance, the path separates into three directions, wrapping around several poorly constructed huts. To the south, a path leads to a small rise in land, blanketed in a haze of campfire smoke.
Obvious paths: north, south

[Warcamp, Outside]
Three beaten paths break off in a northerly direction, curving around a number of poorly built huts and tents. A pile of broken bones and rotting flesh compete with a pile of steaming offal for the most nauseating odor available. Over the top of the tents, a tall wooden flagpole marks the center of the warcamp just ahead, while a broad dirt path leads south to the sole entrance and exit of the encampment. You also see a Grimswarm troll guard.

[Warcamp, Outside]
Three beaten paths break off in a northerly direction, curving around a number of poorly built huts and tents. A pile of broken bones and rotting flesh compete with a pile of steaming offal for the most nauseating odor available. Over the top of the tents, a tall wooden flagpole marks the center of the warcamp just ahead, while a broad dirt path leads south to the sole entrance and exit of the encampment. You also see a Grimswarm troll cleric.

Roundtime: 4 sec.
[Warcamp, Entrance]
The entrance to the warcamp consists of nothing more than a large gap in a wall built of broken trees and shrubs haphazardly stacked upon the other. In the turned up earth by the entryway, a bloody child-sized hand reaches up toward the sky, a forgotten or discarded prize of the Grimswarm. Inside the entrance, the path separates into three directions, wrapping around several poorly constructed huts. To the south, a path leads to a small rise in land, blanketed in a haze of campfire smoke. You also see a Grimswarm troll guard.

[Warcamp, Approach]
A dirt path leads over a rise of earth and down towards a collection of mismatching tents and huts. The rotting stench of the encampment's inhabitants lingers in the air, mixed with the aroma of cooked flesh and burning wood. A heavy grey haze of campfire smoke hangs over the warcamp and drifts down behind the rise of land, creating a pocket of concealment from the eyes of the nearby Grimswarm. You also see a Grimswarm troll scourge and an obscured path leading out.

Who owns Sorrow now? I had a few gin and tonics tonight and am actually considering returning to play some fucking text.

No one is as bad as Krakii. About anything, not just hoarding.
