Official: Ongoing Landing Invasions

[Fallen]

eath is a part of living...or something? Hehe.

It's my first time breaking up an invasion into level zones. There's five different zones, between Trollfang and Mestanir. It's up to everyone to figure out the ones they can survive in, hehe. I also want to thank GM Tamuz for helping with some of the invasion as I got called away with some family issues.

The portals are open, and minions roam to and fro. Who knows when or how they will be closed. Happy hunting.

Killed a Vathor this evening, with help from Nuadjha. Good fun. Go check it out if you're looking for a challenge.

[Drew]

Vathors are serious business, they are really tough.



A huge incarnadine vathor suddenly throws its head back, baring its fangs as it raises its . The flames whirl around it in a tight vortex, then turn black as night as the vathor brings it down sharply, tearing open a rip in reality!

A huge incarnadine vathor casts into the air above its head and a rip appears in the sky! The fissure begins to feed on the air around you!
A war hammer is sucked into the void, missing a great brown bear along the way!
A cudgel is sucked into the void, striking you along the way!
... 1 point of damage!
Strike hits close to your right eye making you flinch!
A chain hauberk is sucked into the void, missing a great brown bear along the way!
The vathor is unaffected by the void!
A pure white sparrowhawk maneuvers deftly away!
A massive bearded white tiger firmly stands her ground!
A barn owl grabs hold of the ground to keep from being sucked into the void!
Giogionni is knocked over by the wind!
Giogionni scrambles to avoid being sucked into the void!
Perivan is knocked over by the wind!
Perivan scrambles to avoid being sucked into the void!
Tebon is knocked over by the wind!

Cryheart is knocked over by the wind!

You are knocked over by the wind!
You are sucked into the void!
Rather abrupt decompression causes you to explode!
Billions and billions of tiny bits of flesh shower everything.
Quite severely dead.

Vathors are serious business, they are really tough.

But..do they cast implosions, though?

[Androidpk]

We should start a "Killed a Vathor" fanclub.

Don't feel too bad. I don't know if anything will knock this GS3 throwback off my profile.

Strongest foe vanquished: a large spider

[Androidpk]

You can manually clear your strongest foe vanquished.

[BriarFox]

Strongest foe vanquished: a rolton

[Fallen]

You can manually clear your strongest foe vanquished.

Nah. That's cheating.

[Asha]

I was sad when my Lithe Black Abyran'sa (forgot how to spell it) was replaced by a grizzled War Griffin.

[Drew]

Abyran'sa are back in this invasion.

[Drakefang]

Does anyone know the monsters present in the five portals? My guess is vathors are in the fifth. Is it possible to learn at cap in the fourth portal without getting vathored in the butt?

[Jace Solo]

Damn it! Why'd I have to work a 10 hour day...followed by 14+ today! I wanna swing on a Vathor!

[ClayBeadGirl]

Anyone have a log of Mestanir?

[Ivex]

I'd like to say I was the first to step through the portal and explore :D

For the love of God, please proofread your invasion creatures, Kenstrom.

[Drew]

To be fair vathors have been used in several earlier invasions before Kenstrom was a GM.

It's probably coded as @weapon and generated a null string since there wasn't one.

I think I got ya: a massive slime-covered rolton.

[Fallen]

I think I got ya: a massive slime-covered rolton.

Atleast it is massive and slime-covered. I think once or twice GMs released just, "a rolton", at the town with insane stats.


Strongest foe vanquished: a rolton

[Drew]

Atleast it is massive and slime-covered. I think once or twice GMs released just, "a rolton", at the town with insane stats.

They must have because even if you don't have a toughest foe vanquished a rolton won't fill the slot if that's the first thing you kill.

[droit]

A huge incarnadine vathor suddenly spreads its membranous black wings and ascends into the air, sending forth massive currents of wind buffeting the surroundings!

A gust of wind tugs at your sleeves. Suddenly, a fierce wind rips through the area, scattering everything in its path and making it difficult to remain standing.
The wind then subsides.

The incarnadine vathor disappears into the sky.

You look up in horror as the vathor descends straight towards you, a massive spear wreathed in flames clutched in its claws!

The vathor's flaming spear impales you savagely as you're slammed into the ground!

[Androidpk]

Have they made any zombies out of PCs latey?

[Drew]

Have they made any zombies out of PCs latey?

You mean the necleriine? Those things are brutal, but no I haven't seen any. Also one of the reasons I was using a crap weapon yesterday is the cleric necleriines do a mass curse spell.

[Fallen]

You mean the necleriine? Those things are brutal, but no I haven't seen any. Also one of the reasons I was using a crap weapon yesterday is the cleric necleriines do a mass curse spell.

Yep. I killed one yesterday. They don't allow you to use Pain Infliction on demons, which I thought was crap.

[Drew]

I forget, are vathors subject to the 8x requirement or not?

[Androidpk]

I forget, are vathors subject to the 8x requirement or not?

No.

[Androidpk]

Anyone try to animate one yet?

[Archigeek]

I forget, are vathors subject to the 8x requirement or not?

I thought they were, or alternatively needed to be phased.

[Androidpk]

I thought they were, or alternatively needed to be phased.

It's a lesser demon.

[Drew]

Isn't it a 'lessor demon which is really a greater demon' because our terms make no sense? I know I've fought some demons that need 8x weapons, I just can't remember which.

[Archigeek]

Either way, if they're phased in, you don't need an 8x weapon to hit them. They'll phase in entirely on their own eventually, or the phase spell will quicken the process. My recollection is that your 8x weapon needs to be blessed too, but I can't recall for certain if that's the case.

[Drakefang]

Yes and yes...and yes.

Vathors do need an 8x blessed weapon to hit. After they get phased or once a set amount of time passes, you can hit them with a 4x blessed weapon.

Kerl, as I recall, made an 8x returning waraxe just for this purpose. It was basically a demon killer. Sick weapon.

[Drew]

Yeah I thought the whole "chaotic vapor swirls around the vathor stopping the attack" (paraphrase) was because people weren't swinging with an 8x weapon. Next time I'm up against one I'll swing at it with a 4x maul and my 10x mattock.

Have we ever seen a major demon in game? Also what is "summoned" when a player catastrophically fails 740?

[Drakefang]

I don't believe we have nor do we ever want to see one, since Koar is the only thing that can defeat one...assuming he doesn't lose to it. As the story goes, they were fair equivalents to the drakes either due to numbers or power singly, I don't know.

That is indeed why I made that weapon. I traded that to Tep by the way, after I made my new one.

According to Simu lore Kai killed more of them than Koar in the Ur-daemon war.

[Suppa Hobbit Mage]

IIRC Tayvin had a cool strongest foe... something like "an elven commander" or something from the Krovlin wars I think.

[Fallen]

Have we ever seen a major demon in game? Also what is "summoned" when a player catastrophically fails 740?

No. They are the equivalent to Drakes/Arkati, as others have mentioned. However, Marlu is rumored to be one. Lesser Demons are what is summoned in a failure from Planar Rift.

[droit]

So, what are an archer's options versus vathors and abryan'ras? Will 5x blessed arrows hit either of them? Will 4x ebladed arrows?

[WRoss]

I am regretting selling my 10x maul. I can't have any fun against these.

[Danical]

Abyran'sa and Vathor both simultaneously make me wish there were and weren't post-cap rewards.

[Androidpk]

Abyran'sa and Vathor both simultaneously make me wish there were and weren't post-cap rewards.

Why's that?

[Danical]

Why's that?

(1) It would be awesome to use your post-cap exp to wield your mighty e-peen vs the coolest creatures in the game.

(2) It would suck that the coolest creatures in the game would fall easily to your mighty e-peen, thereby not making them the coolest creatures in the game. IDDQD, etc.

True. Unless you're not capped when you kill one. Then it's awesome.

[Fallen]

Nope. But there's 5 zones, per se. Upper Trollfang is broken into 3 areas, with different level ranges, and then there's 2 areas in Mestanir, which are the two highest.

-GM Kenstrom-

For those curious as to how the temporary hunting is broken down by level.

.

[Fallen]

Nuadjha I think was using Archery on the Vathor we fought, so that should work, as so long as they are blessed arrows.

[top shottah]

5x blessed will. E-Bladed will not. (Thank Nuadjha for the info)


Edit: Late as always to the party.

[WRoss]

Welp, seems the log was too long. Basically, if you want to get involved in the RP with me, you are more than welcome as long as you don't go running to the GMs when you you get killed.

He's pissed that the Haven crew showed up at his party. Well, that IS it to a degree. I don't know how big of one. Rogane, are you seriously going to make it a pain in the ass to hunt the Mestanir portion of this event? If so, that's about as retarded a thing as I can imagine anyone doing during a quest. Even the DA wasn't that blatantly ridiculous.

What IS your RP behind this. I'd like to know.

Actually, the DA was pretty cool, just annoying in their badness.

I have no intention to grief anyone hunting in these areas. As it has been from the beginning, this about the empire. If you want to find out more, come by tonight.

Will bring you up to speed, but it is VERY long.

Short version? Summoners of an order called the Arcane Eye? are attacking many different cities using Demons (not automated, GM Dropped) and Constructs/Golems/etc (spawn randomly in Upper Trollfang and in the new portals). I don't know the "why" of it, maybe others do. They are attacking cities players can and cannot go to, but recently a portal to a human city of Mestanir (not usually available to players) was found and is now basically a new hunting ground. The major figures are the Landing Mayor Walkar, this guy named Grishom Stone, who I think is owner of the bathhouse, and a few others. There are about 6 different factions of PCs in the storyine, and I couldn't begin to tell you their aims.

It is a very cool storyline, but mainly I just go there to smash the random Vathor when I see it kill someone.

[Androidpk]

Awesome. Where are these portals to Mestanir and is it a permanent new hunting ground or just temporary?

[Fallen]

Awesome. Where are these portals to Mestanir and is it a permanent new hunting ground or just temporary?

Temporary. No bounty tasks or anything, just a smattering of creatures all the way up to cap to mess with for the time being. There are also defender NPCs that range all the way up to cap. You COULD hunt those too, but you'd piss off the locals. The portals are in Upper Trollfang. I really should get the Lich ID #'s the next time i'm over that way, but I don't know them off the top of my head. Anyone have the info that can post?

1203 for the near-cap area portal, 7761 for the lower-level portal (second-hardest area).

[WRoss]

If you attack one of the defender NPCs, even with e-wave or sympathy, you will permanently be an enemy. Kill enough and you get a big ass knight with 1000 AS/DS/TD

[Fallen]

Fallen, have you tried to animate a vathor yet?

I have not. I usually don't get the killing blow when they attack. The one time I did I forgot to even try. You don't often get to do one-on-one's with the demons, which is understandable. I will try next time I come across one. Might ruffle a few feathers, though.

Virilneus may have tried to do so.

[Androidpk]

That would be incredibly awesome if it's possible.

[Asha]

1400 AS?

[Fallen]

Thank you all for the compliments, and I'm very thrilled to see you're having fun. I was a bit disheartened at first, because the evening I opened the portals, I almost crashed the game because I made some errors in the background ( oops! ) and then of course, PvP's never fun for anyone either. So it's a breath of fresh air to hear people still enjoying it all and has renewed my confidence and ego, hehe.

More information, speculation, rumors, etc will trickle out over the next two weeks as to exactly what perhaps caused the invasion and whose spearheading it. So happy hunting in the meantime. But my main goal of this was to give YOU all the chance to finally take the fight to the summoner's minions for once. It's always been random invansions at the gates or in town, so I wanted a little change of pace. Now you have to purposely go fight them, and of course by doing so, your heroes in two cities!

[BriarFox]

Any portals in the 30-40 range?

No, but like people posted, there are three other 'zones.' Try outside the AI in hill trolls.

[Drakefang]

Not exactly. Creatures in that level range are leaking into the areas of Upper Trollfang, I believe it is. There are 5 level ranges for critters. Each has it's own region that they gen in. The two highest must be gone to through portal and they should be anything over level 50ish. The others have a good range for lower level to Great Lords.

I'll have to keep exploring. All I was finding was really low level shit in the AI area.

[Fallen]

So I just realized many of the lower level minions are not populating properly in before Danjirland and in Danjirland. I think it's fixed. Please let me know if you don't see steel golems, dark spirits, human corpses, etc beginning to appear. Thanks!

-GM Kenstrom-


This may help the people looking for lower level stuff.

[audioserf]

Steel golems = fuck my life as a Boneshatter/Wither empath! Completely immune. The spirits and corpses are too lil'. Oh well, it's still fun seeing unusual things walking around. :)

If you can use elemental wiz wands, test 'em out, when used with Spirit Strike. I'm finding with the big guys (gargoyles, constructs) that they laugh at fire, but nice ice chunks from blue wands work quite well. Should be the same for lower level critters.

[Fallen]

Fire Spirit? Unbalance? Not amazingly effective, but should work.

[audioserf]

Nope, I'm a straight CS caster. Triple spells ahoy. No spell aim. But anyway, that's off-topic, I'll be alright. Thanks for sharing info on this event in a fashion that saves us all from traversing the Officials. :)

[Beguiler]

Fire Spirit? Unbalance? Not amazingly effective, but should work.

E, fire spirit wasn't having much effect on stuff, switched to the blue wands and bingo. Might just be the particular critters. I am ashamed to say I didn't even try unbalance <duck>. And with the vathor, all I did was cast nonstop dispell at 'em until everyone else killed 'em. Pretty good at stripping spells, though :)

[Drew]

What part are the spirits and corpses located in?

[audioserf]

I'm not sure if they're inside a portal but I saw them wandering around in the immediate vicinity of the AI last night, amongst the hill trolls. Spirits had a 93 TD, non-corporeal undead, I think the corpses were even lower. Definitely for the younger folks.

[Fallen]

>>Nothing seems to be spawning at all in Mestanir (highest zone). :(

Unfortunately, these are temporarily disabled as I've still got some n00b blood in me, and am having them fixed because I was still breaking things. What's a war without uncertainty and headaches? Sorry! Trying to get fixed ASAP to keep things on schedule. Please, no pitchforks and torches.

-GM Kenstrom-


That sucks.

[pabstblueribbon]

They saw all the excitement about the Rift game and copied it.

New grimswarm type deal. I heard it from a GM friend.



Thats not true at all.

Welp, seems the log was too long. Basically, if you want to get involved in the RP with me, you are more than welcome as long as you don't go running to the GMs when you you get killed.

Apparently your idea of RP involves failing repeatedly in your attempts to kill people who want nothing to do with you. I had no idea who the hell you even were until you tried to wipe out our whole group last night. If there had been some sort of lead up to the attack, or at least some reason given as to why you were attacking us then it could have been at least interesting. Since all you did was cast spells it was just a display of douchbaggery on your part. Can't say I have any desire to be involved in your "RP".

[Ryvicke]

Whoa Jack! That's totally legit RP dude! Didn't you hear him say that you should show up tonight to find out why he did that? His motivations are in the future and shit. And I think he said the word "empire" or something. Makes perfect sense to me. Now don't go run to the gm's cause I'm sure he was dutifully mychar'ing the whole time.

In closing: dildos.

[Stry]

Looking at those logs, that entire group has a legitimate reason to file complaints against Rogane...

Chivalrous even tried talking to Rogane before retaliating, and was ignored. (Kudos to Chiv)

Not sure what you are talking about with Drew trying to talk to me before I retaliated (to what?). And yeah, the only person in that group to not file a complaint was Drew. Kudos to him indeed.

As for an explanation. It's pretty simple, a GM char, as a member of the Human Empire, has issued a KOS order on me twice before I've killed anyone. I'm responding accordingly.

I could sit here and explain to why I've felt very shafted from participating in this entire RP by GM failures with coding and QQ, but instead of doing that, I'm trying to RP the position that has been given to me.

As Kvet was so kind to explain to me, what I did last night was in the grey area as a KOS was issued for me. If I want to play the villain, I need to do it within policy. She also hoped that the player's of the knights wouldn't use mechanics as a shield. Not calling anyone out on that, yet, but that has been a typical MO of many of the Solhaven crowd in the past. I'd really hope that isn't the case in future.

Anyways, you'll have to wait until tomorrow. I've got real life to attend to. Have fun ripping my a new one.

A GM tried to do that to me once, it didn't end well. Some BS storyline on teras, I walked into their "secret" meeting just minding my own business. They told me to leave. I said I have ever right to be there, it wasn't like, someone's house, and tried to get in on the conspiracy. It was an area of the game anyone could have wandered into. Fag GM teleported me to the eye of V'Tull (this all took place on teras) and had the dark assassin cut off my head, and strip 10 col ranks.

I killed every last one of the people at that secret meeting at least three times that afternoon. All the GM's poor favorites.

So ya, I get it Rogane. I hate it when GMs prescript their little events and when you're lucky enough to randomly stumble into it, block you.

But on the otherhand, taking it out on random people isn't cool, unless they're in with the GM's NPC, not really much legit motivation there.

No, I don't actually. I never seek out violence.

I'll only kill another character for attacking me or stealing for me. Period. And it doesn't happen often. Killed a couple people at EG for attacking me.

Previous to that, can't remember the last time.

Sometimes old age causes us to forget things, and then, just like that they come back to us.

[Archigeek]

FYI: I think some good character vs character conflict is a good thing. This place would get very boring if everyone got along all the time. Spices up a story line nicely on occasion, if it's done right. There have been some absolute masters of it, though I can't think of any that still play at the moment. It always impresses me when people are able to pull it off with style.

While I'm no master of it, I would say, laying the ground work is your responsibility. You can't just assume everyone knows your story and then just walk in and start killing people. Well you can, but where's the fun in that? Anyway, injecting yourself in the story is just fine. Go for it.

[audioserf]

All of this looks fun, even the CvC shit. Invasions are the only time it bugs me that I've never had a capped character. Hearing stories about demons in Mestanir is cool and all, but it would be a different level of fun to be able to fight them myself...

How is me retaliating for being murdered and having 10 col ranks stripped (which took like 2 weeks to get back) seeking out violence?

If someone fucks with me I am ruthless, I'll admit that all day long, but I won't instigate it. Someone else starts it, I finish it.

[Stry]

I'm not going to 'rip you a new one'.

I said he tried to RP with you before retaliating against you for attacking the group. Him retaliating. Not you.

...

As for the rest of the story, I've heard it before. And yes, it did end with an NNNNGGH-Baelogbanned. Why? Because someone couldn't let go of a pointless OOC grudge and now he's stuck playing LOTR.

Though, you said you're not going to grief people which is good and I hope you hold to that.

I honestly don't see how you can blame the GM's coding for you killing Walkar or attacking people. You know what V-fury does and you still chose to use it, repeatedly. Yes, it's a very fun and useful spell but so are open implosion/meteorswarm/1630 and a miriad of other spells aren't exactly group friendly either but you don't see people spamming them in the middle of an invasion unless they want trouble.

I simply think it's a potentially self destructive path you're starting on, and while you claim to be trying to RP... you really have to ask yourself. If it's really good Role Play... why isn't everyone else around having fun too?

Just a thought.

Just pointing out that the two statements are way out of sync. You never attack someone unless they attack you first, and yet you killed 10 characters at least twice each... for attending a meeting.

Sounds like the GM screwed with you, and you took it out on the players because you can't do a thing to the GM. I'd be pretty pissed as well if that happened to me, but I've seen your temperament in events before --- so I'm not surprised if you got booted for rubbing a group of PCs and the GM the wrong way.

Chiv trying to kill Rogane was so cute!

I was just trying to do something constructive, Rogane is 21 levels higher than Chiv. What I was doing was smarter than the less than capped people who were trying to hit him with AS/DS resolutions.

PS: Love your member title bro, it took me a second to notice then I lawled.

Carefully laid cobblestones form this narrow street, the tilework pleasantly complementing the wide expanse of greenery just off the path. A few non-descript buildings along the east might be homes, the dwellings quite small and simple. A pudgy black cat naps atop one of the rooftops, content to soak up the sun. You also see a black granite gargoyle, a massive tenebrous oculoth that is flying around, a black granite gargoyle, a black granite gargoyle, a huge granite construct and a black granite gargoyle.

Oh, and nice job Briar, that's pretty damn awesome. I know Astari and Shize took one down just the two of them last night.

Then immediately died to an Oculoth and Abyan'ya running in as they finished the Vathor off.

[Archigeek]

Does anyone know if, after they've been completely phased in, is a blessed weapon even needed at all? I am presuming yes, but it just occured to me that I've never had to check. Anyone able to hit them with something weighted/non-blessed after they've phased all the way in?

Can't use sonic weapon on them.

Actually, to clarify a little, this storyline is broken up into chapters. This "chapter" is done, but the storyline is not.

Just noticed this thread. Figured I'd post my own soloing of a vathor. I usually never got the chance to try this tactic, because fucktard rangers and wizards breeze and call wind my clouds.

I edited the fuck out of this... because it's long. The important things are still there. Me chasing the vathor, the vathor running.

Kenstrom posted on the boards that he has more planned for The Landing, so it is good to hear that he wasn't like, "I'm Effing TIRED. See you when I see you."

[Archigeek]

To be a little more specific, he said we should expect a bit of a lull till after the Spitfire.

Figure I should stop being lazy and just update the thread properly.



On the eve of the 8th of Charlatos, military aid from Vornavis and Hendor arrived in Mestanir. The forces from all three baronies struck hard against the demons and constructs in the streets and the tide of victory was unable to be pushed back.

While only a few golems and gargoyles remained in Mestanir, it was reported that some red robed summoners and their minions were then forced to flee into the area known as Upper Trollfang. The mindless horde then invaded Wehnimer's Landing, where demons walked the streets feeding on victims unable to escape in time.

Citizens and defenders of Wehnimer's Landing fought against the demons and golems and even battled a wave of undead Mestanir corpses. A woman using the name Odilia was seen leading some of the constructs and meteor swarmed many parts of the town. Witnesses claim that the off and on ally, Thrayzar the orc, helped the heroes track down Odilia in the military barracks where she was eventually killed, her body being consumed in flames.

Shortly after Odilia was killed, the portals between Trollfang and Mestanir grew unstable and eventually closed, followed by an explosive red flash and the ground trembling. A few Mestanir soldiers were stranded far from their lands and Mayor Walkar offered them food and shelter so they could rest before returning home in the coming days.

Hours after the portals closed, Baron Chydenar of Mestanir addressed his people and their allies, "I am eternally grateful for our allies in Vornavis, Hendor and of course the people of Wehnimer's Landing. We have sacrificed much, but we have proven much as well. The Empire is strong, its people are strong, and our will is strong. May all of our enemies far and wide remember this day, reflect upon it and wisely remain in their shadows. To all of our allies, you have a lasting friend in Mestanir and whenever you need our help, you will not need to call, for we will already be at your side."



With tired eyes, Mayor Walkar commented on the closing of the portals to Mestanir.

"Six months ago I did not even recognize the actions of so many of our own citizens, as evil stood at our gates demanding Mirayam, threatening innocence. I was disheartened with the divide among people. Yet now we have defeated another threat from those same enemies and I did not see division, only united resolve, within our walls and with our allies. I am honored by those who bravely fight, whatever the battlefield may be, when evil rises. Now is a time for sorrow as we mourn those we lost at home and in Mestanir. But in the coming weeks I will hold a public ceremony to honor sacrifice and remind everyone that while we may count this a victory, let us not grow complacent because it is not over."

Walkar continued, "And within our city still lurk those who call themselves allies with the summoners. We know your names. Our tolerance is expiring. If you remain by the occasion of our ceremony, we will ensure there is plenty of time for public hangings. So run, no, slither away."




With the closing of the portals and the death of "Odilia"/Arleasta, the chapter "Beyond the Arkati" is officially over. Of course the chapter itself is merely part of the bigger theme for the rest of this year. I eagerly await the next chapter, "Man Among Orcs" which will likely kick off full throttle after the Spitfire, but there may be some minor developments before hand. Everyone likes some teasing.

I'm also planning to hold a public ceremony in the future, probably a weekend day near the end of March so everyone has some advance notice. People should attend.

I'd also like to list below the number of "critters" that auto-dropped while the portals to Mestanir were open. Of course this number is not a true reflection of how many things you all killed, because it does not record the thousands of monsters I dropped on all of you manually over the weeks, or the demons. But I figured I'd show what I could. I hope you all had fun and I'd love some feedback on my first attempt at making invasion zones. Since hint hint, something similar will be happening again.

Anyway, it's been a blast to watch all of you role play, scheme, share secrets, fight demons and of course, die. Enjoy your temporary respite, death is not done with you.



Thanks for the feedback. I enjoy where things are going, and love seeing you all have fun as well. I like the extended invasions because in my mind it helps everyone to get in on the action, even though I can't be around 24/7. I'll definitely be using this style in the future.

As for the levels, here ya go!

That should be all useful info. Underlining is my own. Tweaked the table to be somewhat less garbled.

[Jhynnifer]

Okay, the coffee-snorted-through-the-nose moment was priceless.

...there any indication that this storyline is actually moving forward?


Riend is still possessed so the storyline part concerning Grishom Stone, the ghosts and the noble families of Mestanir is definitely still ongoing. I haven't had anything happen in the past week but I haven't been around during the normal storyline times. I assume he's taking a few days off (esp with the Maze going on) to recoup but he's been very good about keeping the storyline going.

Whisker has been helping to make potions and such in an effort to "exorcise" the spirit of Madelyne Cross, daughter of Elithain Cross who was one of the two noble families in Mestanir pre-Jantalarian conflict.

From what's understood Madelyne killed Sebastian Stone, Grishom's father. The visions suggest it was some kind of rite of passage for her to join the summoners. However now the ghost is demanding Grishom be killed. At the same time there is talk that Elithain Cross may still be alive (the reason Walkar went to Mestanir in the first place) so between that and the next mini storyline entitled "An Orc among Men" (which I assume has to do with Thraznyr)

Considering Kenstrom's goals included a mini storyline for the end of the year called "Set in Stone" or something, I'm assuming the conflict with Stone is going to be on-going for a long while.


So in all the convoluted nonsense is some kind of answer, I think?

I hate Daylight Savings Time. =(

Yes, thanks, and Amen Sister! I hate Spring Forward....

[Fallen]

I figured I would put this up here, as it is the summary of all the events which happened in this storyline.



So I posted a storyline recap of my ongoing drama in Wehnimer's Landing a few months back, which encompassed everything "major" from August 2010 to Jan 2011. Well, I've updated the recap and will post it below. It will be the entire recap, but the newest additions will be from February and beyond.

I've included as much as I can, which characters could have learned from official announcements, or solid rumors. There's of course a number of other minor incidents, or small encounters, all of which I leave to the players to reveal, but feel confident that nothing is detracted from the storyline that would keep it from moving forward. My theory has always been an evolving storyline, that can shift and change to how players react, and in many, many cases, it has. I'm along for the ride as well.

So I wanted to do a little refresher and give folks a chance to catch up before I kick off the next "chapter", Man Among Orcs, in May. Have a good weekend and a great time at the Spitfire!




Phoenatos 5110 ( August 2010 )

* During Frontier Days, Mirayam appears in Wehnimer's Landing, alone and without memories beyond two years ago. She claimed to be from Ubl, in the small territory of Allace in the Turamzzyrian Empire, where she was discovered by an elderly couple who took her in.

* Local citizens hear a cry near Town Square Central and rush into a dark alley, where Mirayam has been beaten up by some thugs. Two rogues are killed, but one escapes with Mirayam's journal.




Imaerasta 5110 ( September 2010 )

* Thrayzar, an orc assassin shows up in Wehnimer's Landing. He is discovered on the streets, and is attacked by some local militia men, all of whom the orc kills.

* The orc Thrayzar later finds Mirayam's lost journal and uses it to negotiate a meeting with her. Some locals organize the meeting, the orc sniffs Mirayam, drops the journal, and then slips into the shadows.

* The interim mayor, the Chatelaine Chambeli announces that Lord Grishom Stone has purchased the old Cholgar's Bathhouse in an attempt to rebuild it and erase the dark taint that existed there before.

* Mirayam, after befriending many locals, is offered a job by Chambeli in the museum. A woman named Bridonna is also announced as the new curator of the museum.

* Albright, a red-robed summoner appears in town and begins making demands that Mirayam be handed over.

* The town council of Wehnimer's Landing votes, and by the majority's decision, they agree to hand over Mirayam. Unfortunately the girl Mirayam had gone missing.

* Believing the town to be deceiving him, Albright opens up dozens of red portals in town and around the environs, and armies of constructs and golems invade over the course of a week.

* Councilman Walkar Wellington defies the will of the council and fights with local heroes against Albright's minions. Finally with some more political backing, Walkar is able to convince a few council members to agree to revoke their original agreement on Mirayam's fate. The council then votes to challenge Albright and fight him, even though Mirayam is still missing.




Jastatos 5110 ( October 2010 )

* Councilman Walkar Wellington, along with the aid of local defenders, orchestrates the illusion of an exchange with Albright, with all intentions of staging an ambush. Albright, believing the city intended to hand over Mirayam, foolishly meets with them in the forest. Albright is killed by a defender and many of his seedy allies are dispatched as well.

* The red portals in the sky above Wehnimer's Landing do not go away, but instead begin to slowly expand. Mindless golems continue to drop from them into the streets.

* The seer Kailashandra appears in Wehnimer's Landing, tired and worse for wear. Some locals find her in a trance and when she awakes she tells them the vision she had, of a group of red-robed summoners called the Arcane Eyes, who performed a dark ritual to create a sentient urnon golem. The ritual involved the mass execution of dozens and dozens of women, whose spirits were imbued into the urnon. The urnon came to life and took the form of a featureless woman, killing two summoners before escaping into the night. The golem would later take on the form of Mirayam years later, and arrived in Wehnimer's Landing. The seer noted that in her vision, the main summoner's face was unclear, but she caught sight of his dark sea blue eyes before she was thrown from her trance.

* The orc Thrayzar meets with some local heroes and offers them Mirayam, who he said he had found and kept hidden because he feared what Albright would do to her. It was then learned that Thrayzar was originally hired by the summoners to hunt down Mirayam, but when he learned more of the summoner's evil nature, he abandoned them and sought to protect the girl. In exchange, the orc asked that the heroes plead with the local authorities to pardon him for his crimes in murdering local militia.

* Mirayam's body had become unstable, her eyes and flesh constantly reshaping as the chaotic nature of urnon began to return. The heroes told her of her past and creation, and of the threats still facing their town. Seeking to protect the people who so willingly took her in and fought to defend her, Mirayam sacrificed the remainder of her magical force to close the red portals above Wehnimer's Landing. The exertion robbed her of any last shred of stability, and she crumbled into pieces of urnon, many of which were retrieved by the heroes present.




Eoantos 5110 ( November 2010 )

* Bandits began to strike outside of Wehnimer's Landing, some making it inside the town.

* In response to the bandit activity, the town council increased the militia patrols.

* A memorial statue in Mirayam's likeness was erected in Town Square, Northwest. ( It has a loresong!)

* The Mayoral Elections were announced, with the candidates being the Chatelaine Chambeli Malatina, Tykel Rone, Lord Grishom Stone, Councilman Walkar Wellington and Councilman Barnom Slim.

* Plague begins to effect denizens of Wehnimer's Landing, the witch Raznel, another red-robed summoner, is thought to be the culprit.

* The bandits are discovered to have been hired by the summoners.

* The local merchant guild endorses Grishom Stone for Mayor.

* Bandits began to appear to be suffering from the plague, or even carrying it into town. Unrest forms among their ranks and some of them turn on their summoner employers. As the bandit threat begins to die down, the town council begins to hand out magical rods, imbued with Undisease, to help people fight the still spreading plague.

* Tykel Rone cites lack of funds and drops out of Mayoral race.

* Days later, Grishom Stone drops out of Mayoral race, giving vague reasoning for his actions. Some speculate blackmail.

* In a battle in the streets of Wehnimer's, Raznel summons hordes of undead, as local defenders fight on, pressing them back. Raznel is slain numerous times, but her body breaks into bugs and reforms again and again. Finally the heroes use the Undisease rods and wave them at Raznel, and she begins to fall apart and crumble into a pile of scorched bugs. The plague is instantly lifted.

* Mayoral Debates are held between Chambeli, Walkar and Barnom.

* The election results are announced and Walkar Wellington is elected the new Mayor of Wehnimer's Landing. He is sworn into office. Days later, he publicly hangs known allies of the summoners.

* Chambeli decides to travel after losing the election and sets sail for Brisker's Cove. A week later her ship is reported destroyed at sea and no survivors found.




Eorgaen 5110 ( December 2010 )

* Mayor Walkar pardoned the orc Thrayzar, and praised his efforts in helping the city after turning on the summoners. It was also rumored that the Mayor secretly hired the orc to hunt down known allies of the summoners.

* Acting on information given them, town officials inspect Chambeli's residence, finding where she had stashed away some red robes and blackened silver eye medallion matching ones the summoners had worn. With Chambeli lost at sea, officials could only speculate that she may have been involved with the summoners.

* Grishom Stone attended a ball in Wehnimer's Landing, with a woman named Odilia, supposedly a cartographer from Ta'Illistim.

* Days later, Odilia is found by some local heroes in the street and was suffering from a stomach wound and claiming Grishom Stone tried to kill her.

* Grishom Stone is arrested.

* Representatives from Ta'Illistim met with Mayor Walkar and the town council, addressing concerns about Odilia and Grishom Stone behind closed doors. There was no love lost between the two governments.

* In Ta'Illistim, local citizens found the body of a woman, who later is discovered to be the real Odilia. After days in jail, Grishom Stone is freed and the fake Odilia is captured and escorted by a convoy of the Sapphire Guard back to Ta'Illistim for trial.

* While en route to Ta'Illistim, the convoy is ambushed and destroyed by a fiery aerial assault. The soldiers are killed and Odilia is nowhere to be found.




Lormesta 5111 ( January 2011 )

* New renovations are announced for the Wehnimer's Landing Museum, funded primarily by Lord Grishom Stone.

* Some heroes traveled to River's Rest and struck a deal with a landlocked pirate named Thanden, who had found and enslaved Chambeli and intended to sell her. He had made some currently unknown demands, and the heroes temporarily returned to Wehnimer's Landing in an effort to accommodate them.

* Meanwhile, invasions of golems, gargoyles, constructs and even some demons began to hit both Wehnimer's Landing and River's Rest on and off for days.

* A goblin appeared in Wehnimer's Landing, with extraordinary mastery of the common tongue, asking many citizens for the whereabouts of the orc Thrayzar. Reportedly, the goblin was worried that something bad had happened as the orc had gone missing longer than usual.

* A troll scout was seen near Wehnimer's that same evening, but killed rather quickly.

* Some heroes traveled back to River's Rest, where invasions of constructs and golems picked up, as forces from both Wehnimer's and the Rest fought them off. Amidst the chaos it is said a few of the heroes met with the pirate captain Thanden, made their exchange, and set off back to Wehnimer's with a physically broken and mentally unstable Chambeli in tow.

* Spouting insane ramblings, Chambeli was escorted back to Wehnimer's Landing, where witnesses account that the orc Thrayzar appeared from out of nowhere, ran his sword through her gut, and then dragged her off into the shadows.

* Two days later, a nearby citizen alerted everyone to the corpse of Chambeli outside of Moot Hall. Shreds of clothing hung loosely to her broken body, and her head had been cut off and was missing. Local militia removed the body from the streets.




Fashanos 5111 ( February 2011 )

* Grishom Stone holds a public unveiling of the new bathhouse, the Stone Baths. At the end of the tour, he is murdered by a blind adventurer Vylina who claims to have attacked him out of insanity. A priest resurrects Grishom, and the adventurer is banished from town.

* Claiming to seek fairness, Grishom convinced the town council to revoke the adventurer's banishment, if the blind woman would be subjected to some initial observations by some hired clerics and healers, to ensure she was safe to be free. The deal was made, the banishment revoked, the observation complete and Vylina walking free.

* A red-robed summoner arrived to warn the Silver Gryphons that there is power Beyond the Arkati, and that they respect their order and give them the civility of a warning, to not stand in their way.

* Rumors circulate that the pirate Thanden, from River's Rest, arrived in Wehnimer's Landing looking to collect his reward for handing over Chambeli. The reward he was "promised" was a small fortune to retire, the Drake Vanguard's ship, and sanctuary within the town. He arranges an upcoming meeting with Mayor Walkar.

* Over the course of several months, many women had reported hearing a ghostly woman's voice, whispering to them at night and warning them of a deadly man and the siren's song. It was eventually discovered the spirit was named Madelyne Cross, and when some heroes tried to further communicate with her, she came forward and possessed the adventurer Riend, turning her eyes from violet to hunter green. It was later learned from Madelyne that her father is Elithain Cross, a man suspected to be involved with the summoners in some way, but is in hiding.

* Albert the Hearthstone Doorman, informed some of the heroes that the public believes Mayor Walkar to be sick, but that in truth he had the pirate Thanden captured and escorted him, along with some hired mercenaries, to Mestanir. The pirate was a wanted man in the Empire and Walkar had hoped to gain some favor in trying to learn some information about the leader of the summoners, whether it was a mysterious man named Elithain Cross who may be hiding in Mestanir, or to confirm his own suspicions of it being Grishom Stone.

* Grishom Stone gathered some local adventurers on the porch of Hearthstone and informs them that he originally lied to them when he said he did not know of Elithain Cross, and that he was a rival of his father's, ages ago, when they were among the noble court of Mestanir. He told the heroes that he believes Elithain was responsible for the death of his father, Sebasation Stone, and that he had never met Madelyne.

* Days later, rumors reached Wehnimer's Landing that there has been attacks in Mestanir, the invaders fitting the descriptions of the same constructs and golems that had previously attacked Wehnimer's and River's Rest.

* Within the week, red portals opened in Upper Trollfang and lead to Mestanir. Hordes of golems, constructs, gargoyles and demons poured out of them and wage battle against both Mestanir and Wehnimer's Landing.

* One night in Wehnimer's Landing, citizens reported of being attacked by ethereal women specters, all sobbing as they try to kill the living. They all eerily shouted and warned those looking on to "Kill Him, Kill Stone!" The specters are eventually dispatched, but meanwhile battle still rages around the portals from Trollfang to Mestanir.

* Hordes of golems and demons made their way to the gates of Wehnimer's Landing, and members of the Dreadnaught Alliance traveled from the east to help the defenders of the west. In an attempt to send their forces back home, golems and constructs attack Ta'Illistim, but the ploy failed.




Charlatos 5111 ( March 2011 )

* It is publically learned that Mayor Walkar is not sick, but is indeed missing after he traveled to Mestanir. Many tried to search him out while battling demons and golems in both lands.

* Lord Grishom Stone offered highly enchanted weapons to the Knights of Mestanir, to help them better fight the demons that appear.

* The battle within Mestanir raged on for weeks and many brave adventurers from all over Elanthia arrived to aid the Mestanir knights in their war. When many of the heroes died, a red-robed summoner arrived among the chaos, and was reported to have been dragging them to safety. Many heroes were confused, wondering if there was a turncoat among their enemies.

* The dwarven Marshal of Wehnimer's Landing, Khylon Oakspear, organized a group of heroes to push into Mestanir to fight back the demons and constructs, while trying to find Mayor Walkar. Their mission went on for a grueling hour or more before they finally discover the Mayor, who was forced into hiding in Mestanir as some of the creatures had been looking for him. Mayor Walkar was safely escorted back to Wehnimer's Landing, but the fighting still continued.

* Defenders reported seeing a black-haired woman appear from the shadows in Mestanir, blowing off the limbs of Mestanir knights and meteor swarming adventurers as they arrive to help. Eye witnesses claimed she looked exactly like the fake Odilia who showed up in Wehnimer's months ago, and went missing from the envoy back to Ta'Illistim.

* It was discovered by some heroes that Thrayzar, the orc, had been captured by the summoners and tortured, tormented, and then finally broken into submission. Such control was explained as to why Thrayzar had previously hunted down and killed Chambeli for the summoners, before she was able to reveal more information. In the end, the adventurer Greganth was able to arrange the release of Thrayzar, and the removal of his thrall.

* The orc Thrayzar, physically disfigured and mentally scarred, told the heroes he would return to his people to ensure them he was still alive, but he would eventually return. He spoke of a black-haired woman who tortured him and he recalled smelling ink on her fingers. He vowed to see the day of her demise.

* Days later, Hendorian and Vornavian troops arrived in Mestanir and with their added support, the demonic and golem hordes were able to be pushed back significantly. As such, the final waves moved out into Trollfang and marched on Wehnimer's Landing, having little where else to go.

* While the attacks in Mestanir lessened, defenders rallied to the aid of Wehnimer's Landing and fought to push back the demons, constructs and golems. Citizens claimed that the "fake" Odilia was then spotted within the walls, meteor swarming Town Square and killing many innocent people and healers and clerics. Shortly after, Thrayzar the orc was seen, seemingly tracking someone and so many heroes followed him.

* The orc finally tracked Odilia to the town barracks, where she was found blowing off the limbs of militiamen. The adventurer Soullslayur was able to kill Odilia, and everyone surrounded her corpse while her spirit shouted in protest. She begged to someone unseen to spare her lover for her failure. Deep shadows arrived along the ground and Odilia's body burst into flames, leaving behind her scorched red robes, her runestaff and some burnt parchment that had barely survived. The parchment were letters written from a man named Nysorm, to a woman named Arleasta, who was in fact the woman pretending to be Odilia. Nysorm's letters warned of Arleasta's further involvement with the nameless leader of the summoners, and that they had nowhere else to go now, and begged for her to leave with him. The letters also revealed it was Nysorm who was the red-robed summoner who had been dragging dead heroes to safety.

* After Arleasta/Odilia's death, the portals in Upper Trollfang closed and the straggling invaders left behind were finished off. Some Mestanir knights were also left behind, and shelter and food were provided for them by the Mayor until they returned to Mestanir a week later.

* The orc Thrayzar left to seek out his people and possibly arrange for them to move to a new location, as he fears his recent involvement may expose his hidden settlement to the summoners, or his old nemesis, the troll Drangell.

* With the conflict seemingly over, Baron Chydenar of Mestanir and Mayor Walkar of Wehnimer's Landing gave public statements, thanking each side in their efforts to work together to overcome their shared enemy, to honor those who fought and died, and to swear their commitment to seeing the summoners and their minions finally destroyed.

* In an attempt to help Riend be freed of her possession of the ghost Madelyne, Grishom Stone offered to contact some of his connections in a plan to create some kind of potion to expel the entity. Riend agreed to try, as many others' attempts have failed, and gave Grishom a vial of her blood. Later, citizens witnessed the spirit of Madelyne emerge in a fit of rage that the blood was given and was later calmed by those present.

* Mayor Walkar held an Honor Celebration in Wehnimer's, where he thanked many during the recent months of conflict and wanted to publically honor a few individuals who had been helping him since Mirayam first appeared the summer before. Greganth, Seomanthe, Fremie, Cyrroc, Karibeth, Soullslayur, Allanano, Svardin and Riend were named Defenders of Wehnimer's Landing. Sir Cryheart and Sir Tebon were presented with specially crafted signet rings and accepted roles as advisors to the Mayor. The Mayor went on to banish Demyse, Maetriks, Anru and Shalaora, for their roles in helping the summoners, labeling them Outlaws of Wehnimer's Landing. The Mayor thanked the groups of the Silver Gryphons, the Drake Vanguards, the Dreadnaught Alliance and the Order of the Azure Sun for their help in recent conflicts, and would be commissioning a plaque in their honor.




Olaesta 5111 ( April 2011 )

* One night, early in the month, an explosion was seen in the sky over East Ring Road. Heroes rushed across the bridge to find a warehouse on fire, with an elven corpse outside of it. The corpse's face is nearly melted off, with shards of glass stuck in his burnt hands. A planar shift rune book was found on the body, with various rune locations set around town or in other cities. The heroes soon discovered a horde of blood red globules that appeared and attacked them, quickly followed by two colossal blood golems. The golems and globules were eventually killed off and the elven body, later discovered to be Athseld, an apprentice alchemist, was carted off by town guards. The entire incident was written off by local officials as a failed magical experiment.

* A ceremony was announced in Mestanir, where Baron Chydenar praised citizens of Mestanir, thanked Mayor Walkar for his support and commended the heroics of the people of Wehnimer's Landing. The Baron also went on to honor Grishom Stone for his aid to the knights and labeled him the Hero of Mestanir.
