[Town Square, West]
Here in the midst of the town stretches the cobblestoned main bazaar, its serpentine lanes abuzz with traders bartering, bickering, and hawking their wares. The freewheeling vendors in the bazaar provide a lively alternative to the somewhat stodgier merchants whose shops border the square. The gilded but peeling stone facade of the First Elanith Bank dominates this side of the square. You also see a basket of rotting fruit.
Also here: Klaive, Kurapira, Eylanthriel
Obvious paths: north, east, south, west

You did two things wrong.

You left the original quaker alive.

You didn't eat the fetus.

You suck, but not half as bad as you did before that encounter.

Drew2
03-24-2004, 04:38 PM
Well Klaive knew better. I've killed him once before for quaking the park and then I shattered him again after he was alive for good measure. Then he does it again.

This was her first offense, so I didn't kill her. That, and her and Tayre are sorta friends, and I'm friends with her player... REGARDLESS of who she chooses to be 'in love' with. ::mutter::

Wezas

I don't think he is. I just killed Rarr so much he doesn't like me, really. We're on 'civil' terms on Psinet, though.

You still didn't eat the fetus.

LMAO. Awesome Tayre. I enjoyed killing him for quaking as well :)

Galleazzo
03-24-2004, 05:53 PM
Besides it's more impact. Tell her every time she quakes the park, you're killing Klaive. Tell Klaive that too that every time you kill him it's cause of what she did. Quickest way to break a relationship up.

Tsa`ah
03-24-2004, 05:54 PM
That, and eating the fetus!

DAMN YOU TAYRE!!!

You're letting some bad RP and a bastard child live!

True, but Klaive would be more pissed off if Tayre was killing Kurapira since she's "pregnant" with his child and all.

No, actually I was responding to Galleazzo, I know you said the same thing... well, I left out the whole eating the fetus part because that's just nasty. :lol:

They're all a bunch of tools. Although, I thought Callinar killing Kurapira and Klaive running off was funnier. Alarke only casts at 256, now that's funny. He tried to kill me, I should have killed him for it now that I look back at it.

1 Question: If she is role-playing pregnant, why would she do something that would get her a hard fuckin kick in the stomach from most people?

Klaive's offense was weak. I'm surprised he didn't expect the attacker means business. Kurapira should've unstunned Darien instead of just e-waving.

I personally think that empathic dispel is more of a CvC spell than against critters. Very few.. if not rarely do I encounter creatures that use "all" their spiritual defensive spells in field that would make it very useful for a player to cast it at them. At the most, critters only use about 1 or 2 spiritual defenses.

With boneshatter being like the old mana disrupt, and empathic dispel to top it off.. empaths are quite formidable.

If you look at the two instances of either of them getting "pwnd" in each other's company it's really funny.

Kurapira wants to show she wears the pants; hence she tried to jump in on the attack against Tayre. Call it defending her man if you want, I call it trying to be the Alpha.

Klaive, being the bitch in the relationship, runs when his woman is "pwnd". Sure he'll play it off as living to avenger her, or staying around doing her no good. The bottom of the barrel truth is that Klaive couldn't bare the shame of him and his woman getting nuked within a minute of each other.

Those two are a pathetic dichotomy, each one fighting for some sense of superiority yet she is the only one with a spine to do it. Both express their devotion to each other; yet never show it when it counts.

He's taught her to quake; next she'll start slamming when she gets one-upped.

Shari
03-25-2004, 03:28 AM
<---would have killed Kurapira first for being a smartass. Would have killed Klaive next for jumping in the middle.

I mean seriously, you whispered to her and told her not to, and then she has to be a miserable bitch and do it just for spite?

And that whole rp'ing pregnant just bugs the shit out of me for some reason.

That's why you pluck the fetus out with a pike and feast.

Geeze people, start listening to my wisdom.

Methais

Try it and find out. After her entrails spill out, scoop up the fetus and beat it against the ground in front of her.

Then shove it up Klaive's 234 IQ fat ass.

* Klaive drops dead at your feet!

I wonder how long he'll be quaking the park for after DR is implemented. I imagine he'll have about 872093479 DR points within the first week, if they even keep the DR points idea.

It also only showed that empathic dispell is useful on opponents of a similar level or younger. Unless you like spending 40 mana to dispell one or two spells. I'll take rapid fire dispell over empathic dispell anyday.

Yeah, Empathic Disspell doesn't do much to people that are quite a bit older then you. Though it does piss off Bhambi when someone my age can make 1 or 2 of her spells fall.
