23:01:16 The giant frog lashes out with its tongue in an attempt to get the dead fly you are holding, and eats you right along with it! 23:01:16 You are OUT of the game of Bait-the-Frog.
(Tells): The Divine voice of Keroc echoes in your head, "Jeez." (Tells): The Divine voice of Keroc echoes in your head, "I guess that frog was super hungry." (Tells): The Divine voice of Keroc echoes in your head, "I think that deserves a prize. I've never seen someone lose so miserably."
EDIT TO ADD:
A sharp clash of violent red energy streaks into the air, molding together to create the form of Keroc. Keroc says, "For you." Keroc gives a gold star to you. Keroc says, "For a mighty 2 seconds in the arena against the frog." Keroc says, "Let's hope you do better this time!"

In the Daru Monastery talking about potential oaths to imbue into the new Oath-Pillar thingy;
Valingar rubs two fingers absently along the line of his jaw, as if distracted. "Good thing you are going first," he muses to you. "I can only improve on whatever you come up with, so less pressure on me."
Nola says to Harudhiel, "You're getting a taste of something common that should be labeled as, 'when Daru men get together'"
Harudhiel giggles happily.
Whispering, Nola says, "I think it's some kind of bonding ritual."
With a slight nod, Harudhiel demonstrates her understanding.
Kylan says, "Well, we have to have something that is ours."
You have emoted: Benedicto crosses his arms and leans against the pillar, a wry grin upon his lips at Valingar's words.
You set your palm against a warm obsidian pillar veined with fire.
You say, "I could say that I pledge to defend the Monastery and the Daru ways against the ugliness of Valingar's face and from the rapier wit of the aged master Kylan-DHARS BALLS!"
You have emoted: Benedicto jerks hastily away from the pillar, his face slack with horror. Balance Used: 0.93 seconds
The temperature around the Pillar rises to uncomfortable heights as fire blossoms within it, heat and light erupting from the surface beneath your touch. You feel an answering heat flare within your soul as your spark responds. The Pillar draws hungrily on your inner fire, testing your resolve.
Kylan snickers under his breath.
You lean forward to consult the Pillar's graven surface. It bears the oaths of: Kylan, Nola, Melantha, Tenshyo and Tylera.
You breathe a sigh of relief.
Nola relaxes, the sudden bout of tension easing from her muscles.
Smoothly, Nola says, "I would have killed you."
You wryly say, "I think we narrowly avoided a complete and utter balls up."
As the last words leave your lips, your spirit flares, suddenly fed by the fire of generations past. The remnants of their convictions sear into you from the Pillar's heart, sitting heavy on your soul and bolstering your will.
The Pillar flashes with incandescent light, spilling forth a wave of heat from its glowing form; words burn themselves into the stone, seared indelibly into the Pillar's surface.
Valingar says, "Well."
Nola says, "And now I have to.."
"You can be a warning example to future generations," Valingar muses to you.
Kylan says, "... Hahaha."
You read the oath of Benedicto: 'I think we narrowly avoided a complete and utter balls up.'
Backstory: The Daru got a new pillar to record member oaths as part of their initiation to the guild. All of the older Daru have made an oath of their own.
Benedicto sets his palm against a warm obsidian pillar veined with fire.
Benedicto Silverain says, "I could say that I pledge to defend the Monastery and the Daru ways against the ugliness of Valingar's face and from the rapier wit of the aged master Kylan-DHARS BALLS!"

Harudhiel sits down in a meditative position.
You say, "Well.."
You say, "Future generations will know we narrowly avoided a.. "Complete and utter balls up"."
Bottom line? Whoever coded it was wise to add a delay between touch/say command acceptance. It made Benedicto's attempt to troll all the funnier.
Ah, and so we have two of the five people I predicted would actually find that shout witty and hilarious. Bound to be a few of them out there, I suppose.
I'm just grumpy you didn't even try and fight. Lame, @benedicto. Laaaame.
I guess so. With the way this game works and as many relationships as have been had, it's pretty easy for like.. three quarters of the mud to be able to say that to one another for an easy laugh and a win. I'd expect something like that out of Ingram, not Bene. I maintain: Laaaaame.
I'd expect something like that out of Ingram, not Bene. I maintain: Laaaaame. Pfft.
Not sure what you were expecting from a man who has made people hallucinate an old, nude flasher running around Enorian, or that they were seeing giant, dancing penii (plural). When Bene's feeling whimsical or in a certain mood, he can be just as childish or prepubescent as anyone else.

(Spirean Hunters): Rashar says, "So uh."

no but srsly
there isn't a darkie equivalent of revive?
(ilu @Alexina. And @Aithene. And I guess you too, @Lin. Maybe.)
And Rashar, undead can be revived by vampires cannot. For undead, you use their husk and revive like normal.
