Deaths

[Astray]

Golems of all types have that squishy meatbag messaging too.

I've noticed.

Yeah, but honestly of all things the GMs need to do. This is a little bit low priority. I do agree, however.

Meh. It's a minor annoyance at best, sure.

[Methais]

I died, but I didn't die. Symbol of transendence ftw.

[Elemental Confluence - 23288]
Great nebulous clouds encompass the sky, each one's billowing black surface charged with dozens of arcing bolts of bluish-white lightning. Enormous pieces of frozen rock fall from within the murky depths of the clouds, each time sending a shockwave of tremors along the ground upon impact. Vein-like streams of water curve along the patchy ground, winding off into the distance.
Obvious paths: south, northwest
>stance offensive
You are now in an offensive stance.
>stand
You stand back up.

The cooled rock clinging to you crumbles away.

You peer south and see ...

[Elemental Confluence - 23288]
The energy in the air is electric, with tiny bolts of white and yellow lightning dancing through the sky like the spindly legs of a thousand spiders. The ground is a wide expanse of broken greyish-brown dirt, where tiny pebbles and stones float haphazardly above the surface. You also see a huge lightning elemental.
Obvious paths: north, east, south, southwest, northwest
>You peer northwest and see ...

[Elemental Confluence - 23288]
Vibrations undulate through the ground, the charged pulses tearing up dirt and rock and crushing entire swathes of boulders as it travels outward in all directions. Moments later the ground reforms, healing itself as giant stones claw back up to the surface, only to collapse again beneath each additional wave of crippling energy. You also see a point of elemental tranquility.
Obvious paths: southeast
>stumble s
You begin to walk south but trip over something and end up stumbling your way there.

>go t
As you push yourself up against the elemental tranquility, you suddenly feel it give way! You tumble through a black void, illuminated only by a rapidly approaching pinprick of light. Just as you are about to strike the source of the light, it wraps around you, and you realize that you are back in Elanthia!

[Mercantile, Back Room - 12641]
Worktables and chairs were reduced to kindling in the great fire, and are now little more than blackened sticks of wood. Ruined barrels line the room, their contents of flour, sugar, and salt, now mixing with soot to form a black, sticky paste on the floor. You also see a point of elemental instability.

I'm pretty sure I've been incinerated before and not died due to that symbol though. Or maybe it was vaporized. It was in plat so it was superior RP.

Why do you hate America?

[Methais]

Why do you hate America?

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

I'm trying to figure out why anyone hunts the Confluence at all, wacky vaporization hijinx aside.
