Thread: What in the Actual * Happened here?

  1. Default What in the Actual * Happened here?

    Can anyone explain how a 101 roll on whatever this is kept me bound for what is apparently like 1 minute?

    The nedum vereri looks expectantly at you. You feel your resistance melt away!

    [Temple, Altar]
    The old altar sits overlooking the sanctuary. From here, the shadows seem deeper, the silence more ominous, as if the sonorous breathing of a majestic life had suddenly ceased, leaving you alone and afraid. Set into the wall behind the altar is a massive glass window, not yet broken, although a creeping dark stain has spread over it, turning the colors an unwholesome red-black. Some marble stairs lead down into darkness, providing an alternative to going back to the sanctuary itself. You also see a nedum vereri, a nedum vereri, a nedum vereri and a nedum vereri.
    Also here: Geovekn
    Obvious exits: none

    The air calms down around you.

    You return to normal color.
    You become solid again.
    The powerful look leaves you.
    The light blue glow leaves you.
    The bright luminescence fades from around you.
    The silvery luminescence fades from around you.

    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.

    ...departing in 14 mins...
    The vereri laughs triumphantly and says, "Rest in peace!"

    Just taking a guess but sheer fear is a pretty old spell, no? Maybe it doesn't really have a granular roll and it's more yes/no.

    These are some very old critters. Low rolls pwning the shit out of you are one of the reasons GS used to just suck like that back in the day.

    Their fear/bind severity isn't based off of endroll. If you catch it, you're stuck for a while. That entire area is very old/buggy.
    You had better pay your guild dues before you forget. You are 113 months behind.

    You were in a room with a non-standard exit. I am told that completely fucks you if you get hit with a low endroll fear attack.
