Preoccupied folk make their way along this wide and busy avenue. A crew of broom-wielding dwarves sweeps the street clean of rubbish, working quickly under their supervisor's glare. To the west is the Company Store, which draws a steady flow of traffic to and fro. You also see a swirling whirlwind, a fire mage, a black-robed battle mage, a massive glaes club, a massive glaes club and a massive glaes club.

You feel the extra courage wane.

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.

A quick gesture from a fire mage produces a fine, blackened pouch. With a wave of her hand over your corpse, the fire mage scorches your hand! Reaching down, the fire mage pries loose a few of your fingernails, catching them in her pouch. With a pleased look on her face, the fire mage attaches the pouch to her belt.

The Symbol of Need begins to burn in your mind and an image appears before you of Hammerrhead...

[Ghorsa Isle, Tower]
The view from the tower is spectacular. The city is spread out before you, huddled in a valley beneath the great mountain Stormbrow. Far to the northeast, beyond the walls, the sky is lit with a dim, red glow. To the northwest, you see only mist. A white glaes statue of a dwarf stands tall on a podium, gazing over the town. You also see a wooden charity bin, a marble ledge with some stuff on it and some marble stairs.
Also here: the body of Drevenn who is lying down, the body of Hammerrhead who is lying down
Obvious exits: none

The street widens into a circular plaza several hundred feet across. Dwarves and giantmen lounge on stone benches by a massive granite fountain in the center. The burbling of the waters, the low mumblings of the dwarves and the booming laughter of the giants somehow blend together into a vibrant harmony. You also see a white cat, a moldy raisin cupcake, a massive pyrothag, a yellow sapphire, a red granite statue and a wooden table with some stuff on it.

Ouch, you got....PWNED! I saw all the deaths and wondered what happened...it looks like Teras got slaughtered.

I really, really hope this is some kind of intro into a high level hunting area on Teras.

That would be sweet.

I wouldn't get your hopes too high up, I mean they've stated repeatedly that higher level hunting grounds aren't even on the long term radar. Unless of course you believe that the polls jump started development.

First of all--Mekthros and Menos roxz0r. :heart:

Secondly, I would have been up kicking ass if someone didn't keep me. I'm all about the 1k DR decay right now.

And thirdly, I think all these invasions are just like training for the 17(I think) new GMs they signed on. I know the one from Vaalor was by a new GM and this black-robed battle mage was just kinda hokey. He was saying, "I will kill you" and "Get off this isle or else" and we are all like..."Um, we're dead. How much 'or else' can you get?" Ah well. It was hella fun at least. I miss invasions were everyone gets taken out.

Menos...isn't he the one that speaks only in elven? I remember he saved me in Teras once, he used his last LK on me or something. I could've kept myself with Voln. But, he told me to replace his LK. Ran around Teras trying to figure out where they sell them and they didn't have any at the pawn!!! Nice of him to save me though, but dayum...it was a mission to get that LK.

HouseofElves
05-15-2004, 11:54 AM
Yeah. He only speaks in Elven because the lesser languages shouldn't pass his tongue or something. I'm all about the Elven elitism tho. But I'll give him a good kick for making someone replace his flask. That is just being a weinie.

TheEschaton
05-15-2004, 12:01 PM
I love Elven elitism. My picker only speaks Elven and up ("up" being dark elven). If they can't understand them, too bad. He outright refuses to pick for dwarves and humans. If a halfling or a giant needs picking, he'll nod to them, use body language to indicate his willingness to pick.

Doesn't accept tips from dark elves.

I expect that this is something for the Griffon Sword Saga, though that's based only on the facts that those fire-mages were one of the strongest creatures in Zerroth's Army that attacked Solhaven and Mekthros is one of the most heavily involved players on the Alliance.

Apparently canceling my account a few days ago was a bad idea.

Suppa Hobbit Mage
05-16-2004, 11:09 AM
Isn't Mekthros the ass open imploding during the invasion, with critters that disarm?

What's to like about that?

Edit to add: I really wish they'd neuter the fuck out of that spell, if some peon sorcerer causes me to lose anything, I'm going on a killing spree.

Why would you want to RP with elitist jackasses anyway?

HouseofElves
05-17-2004, 07:09 PM
It had nothing to do with the GSS, the DA just happened to be there to make a little bling.

And, no Mekthros was NOT the person opening imploding in the Solhaven invasions.

Also I'm sorry you closed your account Zen, I had an awesome time RPing with you and I hope you decide to come back.

Beth--:heart: always.
