Sorrow. It finally happened.

[Khariz]

>get swo
You feel the sword submit fully to your will.
You remove a massive vaalorn sword from in your mithril alloy harness.

[Asha]

Oh. Party.

[Sean of the Thread]

yippy fucking woo hoo

[Durgrimst]

Congrats

[Khariz]

Hey it's a big deal to me. I'm tired of it kicking my ass!

[Mtenda]

I can't remember. Does this unlock some more stuff or just stop the backlash?

[Khariz]

I can't remember. Does this unlock some more stuff or just stop the backlash?

Pretty sure it just stops the backlash. I haven't seen anything new.

[Tolwynn]

That alone is something. Having your hunt stop before it even starts because you drew your sword totally sucks.

[Mtenda]

No doubt. Congrats.

[NocturnalRob]

hey, congrats, man. no more getting punked by your own weapon!

[Khariz]

Yeah, I'm gonna re-bond it with CMAN now too, now that I can finish that bond without it kicking my ass. Nothing like swining over 600 with a twohanded sword based weapon (plus the goodies obviously).

[Donquix]

hey, congrats, man. no more getting punked by your own weapon!

I can just imagine it now....mid hunt, he'll go to attack something and get the message...

"Just kidding, Sorrow don't submit to no one...you MY bitch"
<backlash>
* Khariz has been vaporized
* Khariz has just bit the dust!

[Androidpk]

How long did it take and how many times did it kill you in the process?

[Stanley Burrell]

Oh mad one:
We see your trap.
You can never escape your fate,
Submit, with honor, to a duel with my son.

The Shogun Assassin would probably be a Rogue, but still, congratulations. You won GemStone.

[Asha]

Ahhh I don't know about the Shogun Assassin being a Rogue, B.

[Latrinsorm]

Yeah, why would an assassin be a semi? Makes no sense.

[Khariz]

How long did it take and how many times did it kill you in the process?

Took 6 months, as advertised, but it was my second go with it, as I didn't manage to not sell it the first time I had it.

As to the deaths, there was only one DIRECT death, and about 4 additional indirect deaths. The only reason there wasn't more is because I have 270 hitpoints.

Here's the direct death:


You rage across the battlefield, striking with unrelenting fury!

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 13 mins...
DEAD>
* Madmountan just bit the dust!

Other than that, it was pretty well behaved. I think it's because my TD and HPs were so high that I didn't get too hurt by it. I'll actually miss the tremors and berserking backlashes.

[Loyrl]

270 hp? damn oh, congrats!

[Baelog]

Too bad the sword itself is made out of shitty ass craptastic pansy Vaalorn instead of a real metal.

[Asha]

Say that when he waves it at you.
Too bad you weren't made out of metal.

[Baelog]

Mad will agree with me about it being made out of a shitty, craptastic, pansy Vaalorn instead of a real metal. I imagine he'd much rather have it made out of...Rolaren, Golvern, Veil Iron just to name three.

[Martaigne]

Real men wield glaes.

Insert chortle here.

[Khariz]

Mad will agree with me about it being made out of a shitty, craptastic, pansy Vaalorn instead of a real metal. I imagine he'd much rather have it made out of...Rolaren, Golvern, Veil Iron just to name three.

I do indeed agree.
