Arbre was trying to communicate with the spirit attached to the wolf icon in Duiran. Right before we left it I took a chance and did this just because.
You have emoted: Meyvitch picks himself up, studying the icon. Unselfconsciously
he throws his head back and makes his best imitation of a howl, loud.
And got this!
"A chilling howl resounds throughout the whole of the Heartwood."
The massive core of the Great Oak.
Raest stands here, clasping a great spear in his right hand as he overlooks the primordial heart of
the Great Oak. A large, blood-splattered totem has been erected here, formed of obsidian, ivory and
red-wood. Facing outwards and surrounding the totem are a large ivory bear, an obsidian raven and a
red-wood serpent. There are 2 monolith sigils here. Fell green energy emanates from the pulsing core
of the Great Oak, a massive pillar erupting from the earth to tower over the Heartwood. A cot with a
simplistic clockwork mechanism is here, a plain wooden pot atop it. Leather and steel, a suit of
scale mail is here. There are 3 burly centaur crossbowmen here. Blending in nearly perfectly with
her environs, a cloaked wilderness warden waits here for potential trouble. The sublime glow of the
core casts an effulgent green light over the surrounding area.
You see exits leading north, east, south, and west.
outc 10 ashes
You remove 10 elemental ashes, bringing the total in the cache to 31.
You discern that you are standing in Duiran.
Your environment conforms to that of ancient forest.
You stand upon the Continent of Sapience.
You are in the Prime Material Plane.
The Holy Power of Haern pervades this area.
exterminate
You become very still as you stretch out your arms, feeling out the living essence hidden in the
nearby plant life. Satisfied, you bring your arms back together and grind the ash between your hands,
sprinkling it about the ground.
Finally being in tune with the life essence of the surrounding area, you let loose your dark power
in a rush. It quickly consumes the plant life and returns the energy to you.

The massive core of the Great Oak.
The land and plantlife here have been blackened and burned. Raest stands here, clasping a great
spear in his right hand as he overlooks the primordial heart of the Great Oak. A large, blood-
splattered totem has been erected here, formed of obsidian, ivory and red-wood. Facing outwards and
surrounding the totem are a large ivory bear, an obsidian raven and a red-wood serpent. There are 2
monolith sigils here. Fell green energy emanates from the pulsing core of the Great Oak, a massive
pillar erupting from the earth to tower over the Heartwood. A cot with a simplistic clockwork
mechanism is here, a plain wooden pot atop it. Leather and steel, a suit of scale mail is here.
There are 3 burly centaur crossbowmen here. Blending in nearly perfectly with her environs, a
cloaked wilderness warden waits here for potential trouble. The sublime glow of the core casts an
effulgent green light over the surrounding area.
You see exits leading north, east, south, and west.
You tell Scout Master Angwe Arcan, a'Bainidhe, "I left you a gift."
Angwe has declared you an enemy of the Duiran Council.
The Duiran Council has placed a bounty on your head for 3000 gold. Reason: Exterminating at the
Core
You tell Scout Master Angwe Arcan, a'Bainidhe, "Didnt like it then?"
Also, I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be able to exterminate in Duiran because if I recall, Haven once tried to set the Heartwood on fire and found that he wasn't able to at all as an anti-griefing mechanic. I kind of assumed it'd be the same with extermination.
Oh and as for it not seeming amusing, I guess you would have to know the full story about Cali's relationship with the Duiranites of late, but in general let's just say it was her way of payback.
Now, this?
[spoiler]A merchant swathed in black says, "You know, I picked up this trade from my
grandpappy. Mean, abusive old man, but -- HERAGH!"
A merchant swathed in black abruptly brings the bottle into the side of Sryaen's
Ard-Dhasani Sryaen Cardinalis, Scion of Chaos says, "Oh, you little (poo)."[/spoiler]head, smashing it before he runs off.
^ This is an example of funny. An oldie but goodie.

"If it makes you feel better, just checking your artifact list threatens to crash my mudlet."
Huh. We hardly noticed. >.>

(The Front Line): Daskalos says, "<-- artifacts."
(not directed at you @Phoenecia)
An aged cask has been set by the bar here and atop it rests a wooden tray that has been littered with cups. A large, blood-splattered totem has been erected here, formed of obsidian, ivory and red-wood. Facing outwards and surrounding the totem are a large ivory bear, an obsidian raven and a red-wood serpent. A sigil in the shape of a small, rectangular monolith is on the ground. There are 2 strange oak chairs here. Muria bustles about the tavern with flagons of ale and mead in hand, a smile touching her warm features. Prowling about the area is a feral bahkatu predator. A flagon with the image of a hideous zombie carved into it has been left here. Scout Laquanda is here. The Force of Nature Illidan Aresti, The Unleashed is here, hidden. He is riding on a colossal, winged sapphire toad. You see a sign here instructing you that WARES is the command to see what is for sale.
You see exits leading north (open pine door), southeast, and southwest.
Look laquanda
She is a typical Human and is a strong, independent black woman and she don't need no man. She is wearing:
a plain grey robe
Also, you didn't 'exterminate the Great Oak'. The Great Oak is miles tall and it's roots span the entirety of the valley called Duiran and beyond. The trunk is a massive deal that's as wide as several city blocks. What you exterminated was a part of the Heartwood where the spiritual 'core' of the Great Oak meets the ground. The actual tree hovers overhead.
Now, there's been some lore about the Heartwood that suggests that damaging it is an impressive accomplishment that could potentially wipe out all plant life on the planet, or Sapience at least. But nothing has been heard of that lore in ages and IDK the Heartwood's real significance if that got ret-con'd.

There's quite a few more, but I think my point is made.
