You see Lady Shalla Askanni.
She appears to be a Dhe'nar Dark Elf.
She appears to have come of age and average height. She has sultry stormy grey eyes and dusky skin. She has long, windswept ruby-beaded silver hair that softly caresses her cheeks and falls in a graceful cascade down her back. She has a delicate face, a classical nose and slightly upswept pointed ears.
She has a black chain tattoo on her neck, a lightning bolt tattoo on her finger, and a striking serpent tattoo on her finger.
She is in good shape.
She is wearing a lustrous crimson ruby circlet, a carved ora broach, a thick ruby-studded collar, a ruby-eyed black skull pin, a braided spiked leather armband, a linked ruby demon miniature bracelet, a sultry hourglass contoured black leather corselet with tight v-shaped front silver lacing, an exquisite long black leather cloak accented upon the hood by swirling patterns of silver and ruby, an oversized white skull ring, a jewelled engagement ring, a well-oiled braided leather belt with a braided leather bullwhip hanging from it, an ink black spidersilk bag, a supple black leather gem purse, a slim black leather skirt, a thin black leather thigh-band inset with faceted rubies, some jet black silky hose edged in tiny shimmering rubies, and some sculpted thigh-high leather boots with diamond dusted spiked heels.

>look in my bag
In the spidersilk bag you see an inky black leather purse, a small white jade-rimmed mirror, a spearmint leaf, an iridescent milky potion, a giant skin and a bottle of gardenia perfume.


**The contents in my bag I hardly ever use.. but for some reason I have kept it there. Aside from wearable fluffs, do you keep items in your containers just because it goes with your character even though you hardly ever use it? Do you keep items with you even though you have to drag yourself? If leaving it in your locker means a better percentage of your maneuvering, Or are you a powerhunter only keeping survival necessities?


When choosing between better dodge skills, and keeping roleplaying items that you feel your character should keep.. which is the best? I mean I do hunt, and I socialize and roleplay.. so I'm having a dilemma. But to be honest, I think I'm trying to rationalize and justify me wanting to keep the bag on my character

Bag probably weighs like what, 5 lbs? Keep it, won't make much of a difference.

You should have seen Edaarin about a year ago. Went a few months wearing like 4 things (amulet, full plate, cloak, mask).

If you never use it, there's no sense in carrying it. I only worry about it when I'm script/cash hunting, personally.

You remove a well-oiled braided leather belt with a braided leather bullwhip hanging from it from around your waist.

weigh belt
You carefully examine the braided leather belt and determine that the weight is about 10 pounds.

Er, the belt too.. but please someone tell me it looks good? :embarrassed:

If your base weight is not encumbered, I'd keep it. Just be careful what you pick up or how many coins or whatever it takes before you begin to feel the effects of the stuff.

I stuff my overalls with items I rarely ever get to use... but whenever I put them away I hit a situation where I'd want to use it but it isn't there. It drives me nuts! So I try not to locker anymore.

It's real snazzy, Shalla, no error, but 10 pound fluff? A single item? Man, if you can handle the weight, go for it, but in OTF, I wouldn't dare.

:scared2:

It weighs 10 because of the weapon in it.

Personally, Ax stays as light as possible, but there are some things that he's worn forever. Everything just fits together. Still no encumbrance though, so that works out nice. He won't add anything without losing another.

I don't understand why, if you are wearing armor, let's say full plate, why are some people insistant on wearing clothes as well. The plate covers all. Do you really need a fancy poet's shirt and silk leggings to go with that metal? I mean, c'mon.....

2 item

You unsnap the leather strap holding your bullwhip in place.
>get bullwhip
You deftly remove the braided leather bullwhip hanging from your belt.
>glance
You glance down to see a braided leather bullwhip in your right hand
>put bull in my belt
You carefully hang your bullwhip from your belt and reach over and snap the belt closed.

Well if it makes you feel any better I wear my bow around and I dont even have any training in archery... Then again the longbow only weighs 1lb.

You could simply change before hunting. Alot of people hunt in the most ridiculous outfits. Having hunting clothes is certainly believable RP.

Im sure you could have someone make a changing script, or type one up yourself.
