...departing in 16 mins...

Blasted into a thousand pieces your remains speed through a limitless void for several moments before you feel a tugging on your remains by some unseen force. You realize you are falling rapidly when abruptly your remains come to a crashing stop.

[Ghorsa Isle, Tower]
The view from the tower is spectacular. The city is huddled in a valley beneath the great mountain Stormbrow. A white glaes statue of a dwarf stands tall on a podium, gazing over the town. You also see an enruned modwir coffer, some marble stairs, a marble ledge and a wooden charity bin.
Also here: the body of Eiderfleur (prone), the body of Alerus (prone)
Obvious exits: none

need i say more?

[Rogue Slayer]

oh yeah after we died only some of us ended up in the tower?" whats that al about? odd

[Bobmuhthol]

The tower is assumably the TSC of the Landing.

When you get sucked into or walk into a void, you're instantly vaporized, with no chance of survival. You also fall through the sky into whatever room its set to, TSC for the Landing, and apparently the tower for Teras.

[TheEschaton]

The other ones who died were part of the caster's group, and died from the crimson wave from the skayl.

You three died from the open implosion.

-TheE-

[Eiderfleur]

Actually Daegal cast a major ewave at it..... I asked him about it later on... it was a major ewave not implosion of any kind.. the skayls reflect certain spells.. I guess that was just one of them....

This is what happened later....

We had just killed a skayl..... and it was lying dead on the ground when we got swarmed........


Its long and there is extra stuff in there you might not be interested in...

[TheEschaton]

A) That's not the same log

B) He cast open implosion. THat's not Major EWave.

-TheE-

[Eiderfleur]

The other ones who died were part of the caster's group, and died from the crimson wave from the skayl.

You three died from the open implosion.
^^^^^^^

We were all in the same group.... Daegal, Philo, Alerus, Evoz and myself... he cast major ewave that first time.. the second one.. where it was just myself and him.. THAT was the open implosion.... just to clarify

[TheEschaton]

What part of this log (from the first post) do you not understand? He cast open implosion. Skayls, apparently, when sucked into voids, explode in a giant crimson wave (Major EWave, Fire attuned).

If you're all in the same group, how is it three of you died from the implosion? Implosion doesn't affect the members of the caster's group, last I checked. Like it didn't effect the people who got crimson wave'd.

Edited to add: Reading the first log again - it does seem like open implode affects group members, it's just that the crimson wave effect took place before the implosion.

[Eiderfleur]

Its not HIS open implosion... its what ANY open implosion does against skayls I believe... they have some form of cloak of shadows retaliation thing which backfires on everything in the room....

Yes I know it isn't cloak of shadows as such.. It's an example......

Then who the fuck's open implosion is it?

[Eiderfleur]

Look mate don't get so frigging het up over it... I am simply stating that the same thing would occur if the person who posted just before me cast open implosion..... that it isnt the mere fact Daegal has a different type of open implosion...

^^^^^

That was the reason why I was specifying that it wasnt just HIS open implosion.. that ANY open implosion against a skayl would have the same effect.....

Latrinsorm if your sorcerer friend were to hunt skayls and cast an open implosion it would have exactly the same effect as Daegal's open implosion...

[Eiderfleur]

Ok before you come back and tell me I'm wrong yet again... showing the log to my fiance.....

He basically says that sorcerer area spells start hitting your group when you die because you are no longer part of that group, so from the start Daegal Implodes causing the Skayl to explode causing a major ewave, Daegal dies and since he is now no longer part of the group his implosion finishes off the people who survived the ewave of which Philo wasn't part of as he died from the skayl's ewave....

If that makes sense......
