Teras Isle, Crossroads]
A few ramshackle structures have been thrown up here, most little more than leather tents pitched by fishermen to protect their skiffs and nets during the winter. The Hog's Pen Tavern with its walls of stacked tanik logs is the sturdiest structure in sight. At the rear of the tavern, there is a pile of refuse and a trough that overflows with left-over meals and rain water. The sounds of a bustling town echo down the best-kept of the various roads and paths that meet here.

With 3 back to back warcries from the same creature, he put me into RT for 12, then 17 then 20 seconds and it all stacked. Warcries needs to have diminishing returns. That's pretty fucking ridiculous to have to stand there for nearly 50 seconds while another creature dispels you and the third is attacking you with impunity. If that happened inside a warcamp (often it does) its auto death for me, pretty damn irritating considering that's the only way I can die in there besides a void. That's some of the most irritating and ridiculous shit I've seen in gemstone in 16 yrs.
