  • Was wandering around, exploring the shiny new temple, when this happened....
    A shaded olive grove (55966) - the City of Enorian (183)
    The walkway ringing the very edge of the Temple comes to an abrupt end here, giving way to verdant greenery and tangled undergrowth that shades the stepped garden from sunlight and starlight alike. Rows of olive trees arc around to match the Temple boundary, their gnarled trunks and branches rising up as if to brush against the sky. The marble Temple walls stand at one side of the grove, and at its other edge lies a wrought iron fence, overlooking the gardens below and the canal which surrounds the Temple and its overlapping marble and greenery. There are 4 gnarled olive trees here.
    You see a single exit leading north.

    probe tree
    Almost as wide as it is tall, its shade brushing the ground where it grows, this olive tree's gnarled branches spread outward and upward, permitting ample space for its fruit to grow.

    A gnarled olive tree is currently bereft of ripe olives.

    It weighs about 625 pound(s).
    A gnarled olive tree is holding:
    50 gold sovereigns.
    Nothing.

    You blink.

    You get 50 gold sovereigns from a gnarled olive tree.

    You feel overcome by awe and cannot keep it from showing on your face.

    You say, "Money really can grow on trees."
    ...Praise Varian!

    Sarcastically, Kanivara Cardinalis says, "Right, people are a commodity, how
    dare I forget that."

    You smile and say to Kanivara, "We give them teddy bears and shit."

    Kanivara Cardinalis says, "That doesn't make cages any better."

    Trikal says to Kanivara Cardinalis, "He didn't say they were commodity, they're
    being adopted into stable living conditions."

    Kanivara Cardinalis says, "In cages."

    Trikal says, "Housing units..."

    You say, "Cages are just smaller, barred rooms really."

    Kanivara Cardinalis says, "The name makes no difference, a cage is a cage, a
    cell is a cell. That's not -right-."

    You say, "We even stretched to make them high enough the kids can stand upright
    in them."


    Kanivara's expression turns to one of fury.


    You have emoted: Ingram brushes a hand down the front of his tie, squinting at
    the wall with a smile. "Because Ingram's Corner for Wayward Wee Ones is a corner
    that cares."

    Love these sleeping poses! Good efforts to remain IC whilst idling. (I assume that's what's going on anyway, or maybe this is all an elaborate ruse to gather intel while pretending to snooze! Hmmmmm..)

    You bestow your cityfavour upon Yveria.

  • @Yveria is smart
  • I laughed. My thought process after that was this is the darkest chicken or the egg scenario I've run into.
    "Don't say another word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say anything else - word one - I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one. When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming - as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth."

  • You follow Yeras to the north.
    In a wide junction (19070) - the Fengard Keep (42)
    A large, split archway stands imposingly here, its smooth gray stone worn by time and engraving. Upon it, hundreds of strange symbols have been carved deep into the rock, spiraling upon the pillars of the archway in dizzying patterns with no apparent cohesion. The corridors below the archway stretch southward and to the southeast, while the earthy pathway continues off into the northwest, brightly illuminated with torches at regular intervals. Oozing pus, a horrid basilwyrm rests contemptuously here. Hovering several feet in the air, a necromantic construct of thick ribbon gyrates chaotically. Grinning with a wily bloodlust, an ogre berserker stands here, growling loudly.
    You see exits leading southeast, south, and northwest.

    An ogre berserker snarls angrily at the corpse of a young troll and moves in for the kill.

    (Web): Yeras says, "Target: Ogre."
    t Ogre
    [Source]: Info: Target set: Ogre
    An ogre berserker puts his full weight behind the length of steel in his hand, slicing into Yeras with his bastard sword.
    Yeras eats some irid moss.

    (Web): You say, "Apparently you are the corpse of a young troll."
    (Web): You say, "This is your life now."

  • MarienaMariena By a lake.
    Entering the fishing shop, doot doot.

    Beside a ramshackle fishing sloop.
    The sun sinks toward the cloudless horizon, shining out radiant and fiery from the western skies.
    Hagriphim sits atop the pier here with legs dangling beneath him and fishing rod in hand. A shrouded
    angel floats here like a drowned thing, surrounded by a chill aura. Phendegwen Tanarian, The Engineer is
    here. He is riding on a large war elephant. He wields a spiritual mace in his left hand. You see a sign
    here instructing you that WARES is the command to see what is for sale. A rickety fishing sloop, laden
    with fishing rods and other supplies, bobs alongside the pier here.
    You see a single exit leading west.

    The deepening night provides hope for the coming of the dawn as the moon traces its path across the sky.


    Phendegwen beams broadly at you.

    Phendegwen pats a bamboo fishing pole in a friendly manner.

    Phendegwen Tanarian, The Engineer says, "Fishing!"

    Atticus gives Phendegwen a tight hug.

    Sir Atticus Sinclair, Reaper of Harvests says, "Fishing!"

    Phendegwen beams broadly at Atticus.

    Mariena looks back and forth from father to fiance. She is clearly confused by the appeal.


    Ahhh... Male Bonding Experiences?

    (Liaisons): Lim says, "Then we should be able to catch him."
    (Liaisons): Obyn says, "Also, people more versed in the lore than me may
    correct me, but I'm pretty sure kelki aren't actually fish either."

    A few hilarious things while fishing... because, you know, breaking things is fun.

    You carefully investigate the area, looking for details about the fish you might find.
    You are standing within Shallows of the Beryl Sea.
    The shallow waters teem with unfamiliar creatures.
    You sense that you will be unable to catch any of the fish that remain here. Your Fishing
    ability is not yet advanced enough!
    You have not fished here before.

    -> DANG those are some outrageously difficult fish to catch...

    You reel frantically against the fish's bulk, trying to bring it closer to you.
    With a mighty heave, you lift an ocean sunfish out of the water.
    Added an ocean sunfish to your bucket!
    At 0 oz., this falls below your heaviest catch of an ocean sunfish at this hole by 0 oz.

    -> But not as elusive as the non-existant-yet-existant fish!
