[Spooky]

The character is Leland. Sorry guys, I'll miss you all. Please, the people I owe money, contact me . I'll make it up to you. I've been playing this game 12 years, and everytime I've come back its been a terrrible addiction, consuming my life. I value this game more than real life. I need to stop. I tried to moderate it, I can't, even shattered. So, It's time to go. I hope you guys understand this is the best for me. I need to move on.

Comes with the following:
+4 bonus (+7 stat) logic orb, +8 stat discipline orb (or bonus, I don't remember. It is a high bonus.), +8 dodge bonus, +8 two handed bonus, all orbs. Alot more in the locker I don't feel like dealing with.

A massive lag swatter - +1 , hits magical, max weighted claidh. Weighs 50 lbs.

a kroderine battle axe. Fully bonded, weighs 9. Can flux flares (see below) especially combined with the kroderine armor (see below), mass dispells, r, immune to weapon fire. takes some mana (But not all).

a suit of angelic battle plate divinely crafted and covered in flame

Full plate, fusion armor. Weighs 20. 10% impact resist, Leland can add 50% puncture resist fittings to it, mass dispell on creatures vs player hitting me, mass dispells on me doing a cman against another player (But, note: Does NOT dispell another player if they swing at you or hit you) . Also has the ability to block area webs, making them useless. Also has the ability to completely negate casts, which is completely random. This armor does well in OTF. I don't get cast at succesfully too often. The armor can also flux. Similiar to Major dispell flux flares. This happens when one spell of major circle dispelled, then another one is dispelled of another circle in sequence.

Some examples of it in work:

You wave your bloodwood wand at yourself.

Moving forward, you get too close to the rippling, sticky web!
Your angelic battle plate rapidly consumes the magical power of the attack!
The web turns away harmlessly from you.

Also, it's spiked.

More info:
Here's some more info on it. It has a nifty loresong (Don't try it!)

If the creature has multiple spells, depending on the roll, it can dispell multiple spells at once . (I've seen 4 max). It works just like major dispell. Therefore, if you attack something, it flares . Say you mstrike something, and it flares again. Now, assume the first time it flared, it dispelled a spirit spell. (It should give it a coat for spirit, or a waver for elemental). If the next time it flares, it dispells another spell outside of that circle (For example, wizard or ranger), it can flux. This can be quite devasting.

Example:
You crush the priestess mercilessly!

...27 points of damage!

** Your angelic battle plate glows brightly for a moment, consuming the magical energies around the Arachne priestess! **

Blade slashes across the Arachne priestess's face!
Nice nose job.
The Arachne priestess is stunned!

** Your battle axe glows brightly for a moment, consuming the magical energies around the Arachne priestess! **

Blow to back removes the spinal column!
The Arachne priestess slumps to the ground and dies.

A subtle light fades from an Arachne priestess's eyes.
Roundtime: 5 sec.

Loresong:
Ifor sings:

"Plate that I hold
Let your value now be told"

Ifor's eyes roll back into his head and he collapses to the ground, looking extremely drained!
>Ifor glances around, looking a bit less confident.

The magic of your song begins to penetrate the angelic battle plate when something goes horribly wrong! The normally faint resonating vibration is instead a cacophonous roar that not only readily consumes the magic of your song, but also begins to work its way into your very being. Your mana is ripped away from you in an instant as you collapse to the ground, drained and feeling a horrible emptiness inside you!


(Empties all mana, maybe dispells one spell the person was wearing, and the bard cannot regain mana for 10 minutes+)

It also destroys the AI Crystal:
You touch the crystal with one hand, your battle axe in the other hand.

Suddenly, you feel a continuous rush of mana shooting up your right arm from the crystal, tearing across your body, and then emptying into the battle axe. The surge of mana is more than your body can take as your right hand explodes in a grisly shower of bone and flesh! You collapse to the floor in a dazed heap.

The crystal sizzles for a moment and then rapidly blackens over.

Roundtime: 30 sec.

>look cry
A blackened crystal in a dented brass setting in a battered brass setting lies on its side, wedged into a corner. The crystal looks badly blackened, almost as if it had been scorched by fire.

You also see the barbed Leland disk, a trapdoor and a blackened crystal in a dented brass setting.

Note: Does not appear to damage the weapon as far as I know.

The crystal will no longer work for about an hour after you do this. But it regains power.

And yes, you cannot be weapon fired with it. Very handy. Fails everytime.

Hope this helps. And they're great weapons, I think.

You are wearing some ornate spiked invar arm greaves (+4 logic bonus),a late-night shattered ring(40 rub call familiar, non crumbly..has about 35 charges left), a gornar-bound ironwood badge(+4 logic bonus), a pale white eonake bracer inset with a faceted soulstone(+1 spirit recovery, non crumbly), a faintly glowing dead rolton set with a blue crystal(Hands free crystal holder, altered), a tattered and torn warlord's vest(altered with show, fluff), a suit of angelic battle plate divinely crafted and covered in flame, a pitted steel flagon(Easter egg from spitfire), a jagged ingot of razern(Disk changer), a sanguine-hued leather bandolier(fully unlocked weapon sheath), a snake-shaped metal pin, an adamantine studded combat belt clasped with a shifting urglaes orb(Pin worn, VLA, max/lightened/deepened.

Skull ring:
>listen skul ring
You bring your skull ring to your ear and listen carefully to it. From within the haze you hear a ghostly voice wail, "My soul has left this world! I go to the Everafter Help Desk for work, and now look at me! Only job I could find was to be bound within this ring as your stupid servant and open containers for you."

It then whispers, "You are so ugly that I'll bet blind people run from you!"

The skull ring is surrounded by an ethereal haze. Peering within the swirling shadows, you see a pair of ghostly hands and other less identifiable objects.
>

>turn skul ring
A ghostly hand snakes from your ring and closes, then points mystically at your shamwow.
From within you hear a grating *click*.
>open sham
It appears to be locked.
>

You poke your skull ring hard. Suddenly, a ghostly hand stretches forth and delivers a pair of ringing slaps to each side of your head.
A suit of angelic battle plate divinely crafted and covered in flame partially deflects the onslaught of the impact attack.
... 5 points of damage!
Blow grazes your temple.
S>poke skul ring
You are still stunned.

[Drunken Durfin]

Damn...hate to see you go, but totally understand.

[Hilts]

i should get that axe.. since you fucked me out of the ironwright and all, just sayin :P

[Jinsem]

Isn't the point of Shattered to not have to "play" it all the time? Set up your scripts and come back in a week?

EX Jinsem

[Asha]

Why people say it takes over their life or is an untreatable addiction escapes me.

I believe Leland said he has Aspergers. One of the symptoms can be described as "intense preoccupation with a narrow subject". I'm no doctor, but I think GS could easily qualify. So, if he does indeed suffer from this syndrome, it may well be as he says. I'm sure there are plenty people with addictive personalities that play and toss that around, but this is probably a different situation.

[Reltov420]

Leland Gaunt is an awesome character in an awesome book. Win.

[Alerick]

Can I have the +8 THW orb i bought you back!

Also are you selling everything with Leland for only $?

If you are interested in selling gear for silvers... I'll buy some stuff!

oh and sad to see you go, but completely understand

[Spooky]

You're welcome to have it back, no worries, I just am kind of disappointed as I thought it was a gift out of kindness.

I'm looking to sell for cash really...for anyone saying "Poll that he'll be back" I know its in good humor but don't really appreciate it. It doesn't help me stop this addiction.

And yeah,subzero is spot on with the aspergers thing. I have a couple narrow intense interests, and GS is one of them. Often times I would read obessively for hours about different GS attirbutes, warriors, padding, redux, how it all interacts, etc.

I'm glad a few of you understand. I've been playing for 12 years, everytime I've come back and tried to moderate it, I can't. If I come back, it'll be a shame, because I want to get on with my real life.
