Avelorn nods to Tojgii.

Kuzko is no longer protected by the shimmering field of energy.

Tojgii holds out the palm of his hand and watches intensely as a perfect black rose composed of swirling essence begins to form in the center of his hand. It takes shape but dissipates a few seconds later.

Tojgii holds the palm of his hand out and concentrates for a moment but nothing comes of it.

Kuzko gestures at Tojgii.
Tojgii begins moving faster than you thought possible.

Avylore just went through a narrow opening.

Tojgii holds out his hand, palm facing up, and concentrates on its central point. Slowly, particles begin to coalesce with a unified will in his hand. One by one, petals dark as twilight begin to blossom up, taking the shape of a rosebud. Specks of colorless pollen appear within the flower as the rest of the details are filled in. After a moment, a perfectly-shaped black essence rose lies across Tojgii's hand.

Kuzko appears somehow different.

Avelorn blinks.
>
Tojgii carefully places the black essence rose into his mouth and chews down on the black essence. Slivers of the dark matter can be seen slithering up Tojgii's face under his skin, moving in a direct path for his eyes. Tojgii briefly closes his eyes, but when his opens them, they have taken on a solid black hue.

Whoever coding them should be shot. I hate that crap. Audience guild reps are annoying, and with this the messaging is ridiculous.

Squelch is your friend.

The Gm behind it is bogged down for HSN, supposed to be cutting that down soon enough.

Is it that hard to cut down messaging? Jesus Christ.

And was he doing it just to be a dick?

To be fair, I doubt the guy doing it got any enjoyment out of it whatsoever.

The guild system is a piece of shit. And for some bizarre reason, the GM's behind illusion decided to make them hard as hell unless you've got the perfect stats to pull it off.

If they'd just get rid of audience reps, none of this would be a problem, as illusion work could be contained to private areas. Sorcerers have begged to have audience reps removed from the training requirements, but to no luck.

But, I agree, if the guy was doing audience reps, he should have been polite and spaced his attempts 20 or 30 seconds apart. He didn't need to be an ass and get hasted and doing rapid-fire attempts. The only reason he should ever need haste while doing illusion work is if he were doing speed reps.

All it needs is a delay on audience reps...like warcry.

no.. it needs about 1245 words taken out of the description on every attempt.

While it really was done well and very descriptive.. it turns into annoying screen scroll.

X holds out his hand and concentrates. Slowly, a translucent rose begins to form. After a moment, a deep black pervades the petals and stem.

Same thing, lots less words.

A few ended up in the consolution lounge for a lecture.

Or, code a wait into it like rogue gambits, and lower the amount of audience reps needed.

Tojgii was an asshole about it last night too. He was asked to move, and he called the person a stupid bitch and to shut the hell up.
