Livin' Lepida Loca

hung-over and thirsty in the land of the ice and snow
[Current Language is Dark Elvish. (5)]

Wake up, in a guest room in Ice Well Keep. Oh, my head. What DO they put in that Dire Wolf Pale Ale?

Wander around the Palace, greeting the Courtiers and Councilors. Inexplicable urge to open forbidden door. Probably genetic.

Suddenly...

Adeara tells you, 'Hi there' You told Adeara, 'hello'

Check /who all Adeara. [13 Cleric] Adeara, (Dark Elf) ZONE: overthere No clue. Check /friend list. No such person listed. Wrack memory. Not a sister (assuming she's female) or close cousin. Do I owe her money?

Note to self: Take down those "personals" advertisements you put up on the message board in Highpass for the various members of your former Guild, Legions Romanus.

Oh, my head.

Adeara tells you, 'How are you doing?' You told Adeara, 'i will never understand Dwarves' You told Adeara, 'aside from that, i do well enough'

Adeara tells you, 'simple solution - just kill them'

You told Adeara, '...and let Innoruuk sort them out' Adeara tells you, 'yep'

(Who in the Plane of Hate IS this person? Besides a Priest(ess) of my God, one whom I am bound to respect and serve, of course. Oh, well, zone ahead.)

LOADING, PLEASE WAIT... [Wed May 23 05:56:36 2001] You have entered The City of Thurgadin.

You say to your guild, 'good morning, you all'

Adeara tells you, 'Innoruuk doesn't waste his time sorting dorfs.'

Sithan tells the guild, 'Goodmorning Lepida'

Adeara tells you, 'it's not like they are worthy of his time'

Valarion tells the guild, 'what's that city in iceclad btw?'

Seeate tells the guild, 'the gnome camp?'

You told Adeara, 'yes, Priestess Adeara'

Valarion tells the guild, 'dunno...' Valarion tells the guild, 'dwarf thingy or something'

Adeara tells you, 'I am glad you understand child :)'

"Child". From a 13th season Cleric. Why, when I was HER age... *fuming*

Sithan tells the guild, 'Thurgadin?' Sithan tells the guild, 'That's not in IC though'

You say to your guild, 'Thurgadin... i'm in Thurgadin'

Oh, my head. I need a Flask of Water. All this frickin' ice, everywhere, you'd think there'd be water.

Valarion tells the guild, 'nope, the one in ic'

Seeate tells the guild, 'thurg is off GD :P' Seeate tells the guild, 'the tower?'

You say to your guild, 'there's a Gnomish encampment in the Ice Clad Ocean, and not far from that, a Tower of Frozen Shadow'

Seeate tells the guild, 'yeh '

Adeara tells you, 'it is nice to see that you understand your position in the services of Hate'

I am noted for my pieties, if I do say so myself.

You say to your guild, 'it's a stretch to call either of them a City'

Seeate tells the guild, 'with boring little gnomes heh'

Valarion tells the guild, 'no i mean that dungeon ice thing, lol now i started a discussion'

Betti Frostweaver says 'Greetings Tygran you look like you could use a Boot Pattern'

(Greetings, Tygran, you cute little treemonkey. You look like you could use... down, girl. Husband, 'marriage', the proprieties, remember?)

Seeate tells the guild, 'lemme check my map heh'

You told Adeara, 'i endeavor to serve my purpose with a will, Priestess'

Seeate tells the guild, 'hmm dungeon ice thing? :P' Valarion tells the guild, 'aye, sorry fighting against Ankhefenmut hehe'

Sounds like a fungal foot disease.

Seeate tells the guild, 'the only 'dungeon' is the tower as far as i know' Valarion tells the guild, 'the one in eastern wastes'

Devina tells the guild, 'morning'

Morning. Oh, yes. Have to get going. What can I kill? Anything to quiet the pounding in my head. ~Woke up one morning when the sun didn't shine / picked up my Mace and I walked to the Mine~ ~Fought 16 spawns in a little dark hole / The NPC said "Well, bless my soul"~ (Sorry, just indulging in some of that music my people sing when we're feeling sorry for ourselves... we call it "the Blues".)

Seeate tells the guild, 'i was trying to solo the oracle in oot .. didnt have much luck heh' Sithan tells the guild, 'Goodmorning Devina' Seeate tells the guild, 'oh in EW .. that's crystal cavers and .. err the giant dungeon' Regardless, my Husband the Reverend says "We must minister to these Miners, Mother, in their hours of danger and need". Translation: Lepida, drop your knitting and go kill rats.

Nothing around this corner.

Nothing around this corner. Ahah!

Your target resisted the Engulfing Darkness spell. Your skin returns to normal.

Figures. Little beast hasn't even bitten me, yet. Charging back towards Mine Entrance, rabidinous rat chomping at my heels. Don't like to fight right over the spawn points.

A scuttle rat bites YOU for 14 points of damage. A scuttle rat tries to bash YOU, but misses! A scuttle rat bites YOU for 43 points of damage. A scuttle rat bites YOU for 6 points of damage. A scuttle rat bites YOU for 20 points of damage. Auto attack on.

Finally.

[Wed May 23 06:03:34 2001] You can't see your target from here.

Innoruuk take it, YES, I CAN. It's right here, in front of me.

A scuttle rat tries to bash YOU, but misses! A scuttle rat bites YOU for 16 points of damage. A scuttle rat bites YOU for 69 points of damage. You crush a scuttle rat for 52 points of damage. Lepida steals some of a scuttle rat's strength, and adds it to her own. A scuttle rat tries to bite YOU, but misses! You beam a smile at a scuttle rat. You say, 'Ahhh, I feel much better now...'

And it's true. I've temporarily forgotten my headache, as I bleed from a score of rat bites.

(About teasing: With Dwarves, you pull their beards; Halflings, make rabbit-shagging jokes; Gnomes, insult their shoes. Rats are trickier, as there's not much one can say to a rat that matters personally. )

(Note my inclusion of Rats with the other Short Races. I believe in the taxonomy of the cook book: the only three things one may prepare using the Skewers are Rat, Lizard, and Gnome. 'Nough said.)

How many bashes DOES it take to get to the squishy center of a Scuttle Rat? The world may never know.

A scuttle rat tries to bite YOU, but misses! A scuttle rat tries to bite YOU, but misses!

Valarion tells the guild, 'no i mean CC... that's it, there is a dwarfen city in it'

A freaking scuttle rat can kick? And I can't? There IS no Justice.

Adeara tells you, 'anything worth doing is'

Reverend Priestess, a lot of things NOT worth doing are, too. Like soloing this rat. No, don't say that, they'll say you're ranting, again.

Adeara tells you, 'just don't let any of your offspring become soft.'

Little chance of that; we've been bathing him in icewater every morning and nursing him between battles since he was a month old. I wonder how he is, right now... Vorona has been saying what a handful he is, since he's started toddling everywhere. One quarter Barbarian and half-Teir'Dal. Gonna be a chick magnet, that one is.

Seeate tells the guild, 'it's called city o dorfs or somethin ;-P' Bresh tells the guild, 'Thurgadin?' Seeate tells the guild, 'no .. the little city in CC'

You told Adeara, 'the child was more effort than i thought possible; he seems promising, though'

(Yes, and his father is determined that his son will serve Rodcet Nife, as he does. Furthermore, and this is no light decision, I am going to allow this.)

Valarion tells the guild, 'what's about it?' Valarion tells the guild, 'what's the deal with it?' Seeate tells the guild, 'i dunno really ,, only been there once'

Adeara tells you, 'good well, we all have to suffer through the task eventually'

You told Adeara, 'most of us are spared giving birth to an eight pound infant'

(Eight pounds, at only ten and and a half months of (pro-rated) gestation. Normal weight for a Teir'Dal baby is 5 pounds, at a year and a day in the womb. You do the Math.)

Adeara tells you, 'well, you chose the hard task :)'

(Can we say OUCH?)

You told (name changed to protect the innocent), 'i am half dead and under attack on a spiritual level... if you know where Joyless is, please tell him i need him'

(name changed to protect the innocent) tells you, 'k'

You told Adeara, 'no male understands it, truly, and you know how unintelligent Humans are'

Your stolen strength fades. Your Siphon Strength spell has worn off. You no longer have a target.

Adeara tells you, 'true, almost as bad as Ogres'

Valarion tells the guild, 'hmm, think i am gonna check out velious a bit, a bit boating won't hurt, or go to oot or, hmmm'

Sithan tells you, 'Hello there, what are you up to?'

What fresh hell is this? Oh, hraka, he's speaking Common, too.

Joyless tells you, 'where are you?'

You told Adeara, 'Ogres are accursed, or they would be greater intellects'

Now THERE'S a frightening thought.

You told Joyless, 'i'm near a shop, sitting, on the main walkway somewhere'

You told Sithan, 'one moment...'

Who IS this, I wonder?

Players in EverQuest: ---------------------------[ANONYMOUS] Sithan <Keepers of Honor> (A Guildmate. W00t.)

Current Language is Common Tongue. (1)

Joyless says, 'Hail Lepida'

Adeara tells you, in Dark Speech, 'They are created to be a useful tool'

You told Sithan, 'sorry, i was listening to someone from Home'

 You say, 'Hail Joyless' You invite Joyless to join your group.

Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'That's alright.'

You have formed the group. Current Language is Dark Elvish. (5)

(Someday... you will ALL be speaking it-- or at least taking orders in it.*eG*)

Adeara tells you, 'speaking of which here comes my ogre warrior to kill at my behest'

You told Sithan, 'i've just met Joyless, so I suppose we'll be hunting, now'

Joyless tells the group, 'what's up?'

You tell your party, 'i'm in very much trouble, i'm afraid'

Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'Interested in doing the Ry`Gorr fort?'

AM I? Is Ortallius Orcish? Does a black bear __ in the woods?

Joyless tells the group, 'why, hon? what's going on?'

You told Adeara, 'good hunting to you'

Adeara tells you, 'and you :)'

You tell your party, 'it's complicated... please, i will tell you later.... but for now, Sithan would like to ask if we are interested in hunting at the Ry'Gorr fort?'

Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'I'm 49, but you should still get exp with me I believe' Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'I just need some backup, I always get trained soloing.'

Adeara tells you, 'going off to kill? or explore?'

You told Sithan, 'i'm asking the Reverend about it, right now, sir; i would be very interested, if he is'

He'd better be, or there will be very little affection in the House of Saliatus, tonight. ; )

Adeara tells you, '(ooc) you do know who this is right?'

You told Adeara, 'we're being invited to besiege the Ry'Gorr Fort'

Joyless tells you, 'it is more important to me to know what is going on, we can catch up with Sithan in a few minutes' Joyless tells the group, 'but yeah, if he thinks we'll survive it, i'd be happy to'

You told Joyless, '(just roleplaying trouble, sugar, but let me wallow in it, k?)'

Joyless tells you, '(k'

Adeara tells you, '(do you wish to play the guessing game?)'

You told Joyless, 'i am being... counseled... by a Priestess'

Joyless tells you, 'i wanted to play (censored), we not gonna do that? not that big a deal, just wondering if you don't want to for some reason'

You told Joyless, 'we can, dear, if it's more important than learning the Ry'Gorr '

...she said, smilingly sweetly. (I WANT TO GO HUNT RY'GORR ORCS BEFORE I GET TOO OLD. Preferably with someone who knows the layout.)

Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'Let me know, we should be able to get some nice loot and you two will get exp.'

Adeara tells you, '(or should I just tell you?)'

You told Adeara, '(my friend the writer, Miss Cailean(sp?))'

Adeara tells you, '(nope)'

You told Adeara, '(perhaps, lol, you see what i'm like when i just wake up)'

Joyless says out of character, 'anyone know if i can buy invis potions someplace in this zone?'

You told Sithan, 'certainly, sir; he's all for it! where shall we meet?'

Adeara tells you, 'I am distantly related to ...(omitted)

You told Joyless, 'okay, i told him yes'

Adeara tells you, 'another of the Tool races...'

You told Adeara, '(...name omitted... ?)'

Adeara tells you, 'yep :)'

You told Adeara, '(=))'

(The Few, the Proud, the Roleplayers.)

Joyless tells the group, 'i need to bank' You tell your party, 'k, i'll be right here'

Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'I'm currently in the commons, I'll need to gate to Iceclad and run to the Eastern Wastes.' Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'Or I can go to Great Divide and meet you there, and make the run with you.'

You told Sithan, 'we could easily meet you by the bridge, i am sure'

(Famous, far-flung last words.)

Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'Alright.' Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'I'll head for the bridge then.'

You tell your party, 'shall we meet Sithan by the bridge in the East Wastes, then?'

Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'I zone very slow in Velious, so will take me a bit.'

Joyless tells the group, 'yeah, what is his class?'

You told Sithan, 'i'm sure it will take us a while, too'

Players in EverQuest: ---------------------------[ANONYMOUS] Sithan <Keepers of Honor> There is 1 player in EverQuest.

Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'Actually, I forgot, I am bound in Eastern Wastes'

Joyless tells the group, 'bridge in east wastes? no, that is clear on the other side from us' Joyless tells the group, 'the orc camp is in the middle'

Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'So I'll just gate there, want to meet at the fort or bridge?'

You told Sithan, 'my Husband is afraid he's forgotten your class, sir, and I didn't know it...?'

Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'I am a wizard M'lady.'

You told Sithan, 'we don't have a good idea of where the fort is, sir, unfortunately'

You tell your party, 'he's a Wizard, Reverend'

You told Sithan, 'thank you, sir =)'

Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'Can you make it to the bridge to Iceclad?'

You told Sithan, 'yes, absolutely'

Sithan tells you, in Dark Elvish, 'Then I shall await you there.'

You tell your party, 'he's 49, but thinks we can still get experience hunting with him'

You tell your party, 'and he's gating soon, so we should start'

Joyless tells the group, 'i guess we can meet him at the bridge in EW' You say, 'Hail Joyless' You will now auto-follow Joyless. *WARNING*: Do NOT use around lava, water, cliffs, or other dangerous areas because you WILL fall into them. You have been warned. Also, auto-follow works best in wide open areas with low lag. Twisty areas, lag, and other factors may cause auto-follow to fail.

Joyless tells the group, 'make sure you have your GD tooth' You tell your party, 'i have my Tooth' Joyless tells the group, 'k, me, too'

Beginning to memorize Gather Shadows...

Ah, a quiet moment of meditation before we start. Om sri Innoruuk jai Innoruuk jai jai Innoruuk...

Adeara tells you, 'you have Clinging darkness don't you?'

You have finished memorizing Gather Shadows.

You told Adeara, 'my Darkness engulfs, Reverend Madam'

Grr.

Joyless tells the group, 'we'll sow up outside' Joyless tells the group, 'rdy?' You tell your party, 'yes'

You told Adeara, 'it is very effective, if i say so myself'

Adeara tells you, 'mind educating me of that limited form of darkness?' You told Adeara, 'yes, it is a lowly version of what i use now'

[Wed May 23 06:25:37 2001] You have entered The Great Divide. You have formed the group. You tell your party, 'hold, please' You are low on drink. Whipping out well-worn and blood-stained spellbook, The Cover has, er, a navel-- most appropriate. The title, in large, unfriendly-looking letters, reads "Yee Big Book of Ye Spells for Little Shadowknights". I have loved this book since I was a mere stripling. Thumbing quickly to the back, where are the pages where I keep those spells I don't use anymore... Ah, yes, here it is. Clinging Darkness. ~Hello, darkness, my old friend / I've come to talk with you again~ You told Adeara, 'both are Alterations of things....'

You are low on drink. You told Adeara, 'i acquired Clinging Darkness at level 15, but those who study pure Necromancy attain it much sooner'

Adeara tells you, 'I see...' You told Adeara, 'the 'mana cost' is 20, and the cast time 1.8 units' You told Adeara, 'sorry to get technical, ma'am'

You tell your party, 'k, ready'

You are low on drink. (I never did get that Flask of Water. Oh, my head. No more drinking and dancing on tables; this time, I swear it.)

Joyless tells the group, 'sow up' You tell your party, 'yes, sir' Respect and trust are two of the most important qualities in a marriage, so far as I can tell.

Adeara tells you, 'it seems I shall be taking much longer than that to use the gift from Hate.'

Your 10 Dose Blood of the Wolf begins to glow. (I can't wait until Djoodi can make these. We spend the gross regional product of, say, the Eastern Plains of Karana on these, annually. Worth every penny, too.)

Adeara tells you, '...as my symbol takes 6 seconds to invoke'

You are low on drink. The Blood of the Wolf cloys on my tongue. Oh, well, no one said it had to taste good.

You were hit by non-melee for 69 dmg. YOU were injured by falling. You were hit by non-melee for 45 dmg. YOU were injured by falling. Joyless was injured by falling. You were hit by non-melee for 4 dmg. YOU were injured by falling. Joyless was injured by falling. You were hit by non-melee for 1 dmg. YOU were injured by falling.

(My husband doesn't know how to WALK down a hill.)

You are low on drink. You tell your party, 'i'm thirsty'

Adeara tells you, 'and the effect of the darkness is?'

IT'S DARKNESS. I would demonstrate, girl, if only you were on this continent, anywhere... Down, Lepida.

You tell your party, 'but don't stop' Joyless tells the group, 'i have milk or can summon some' Joyless tells the group, 'i wasn't going to :)'

You told Adeara, 'it blinds and snares the victim'

You are low on drink. Adeara tells you, 'making them less likely to hit us and makes them slower?'

I swear, the thirst is driving me insane with rage. Fortunately, this is what I'm trained to invoke and handle. Don't try this yourself at home, you lesser races.

You told Adeara, 'exactly, Priestess'

Joyless tells the group, 'when we get to EW why don't you gather shadows so we don't have to worry about something cutting between us?'

Adeara tells you, 'wonderful'

You are low on drink. You tell your party, 'yes, Sir' Why don't you... Oh, never mind. My frickin' head. If I fall down ONE more hillside... You were hit by non-melee for 27 dmg. YOU were injured by falling. LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...

You have entered Eastern Wastes. You have formed the group. You say, 'Hail Joyless'

... prying my bloodied tongue from between my sharp little white teeth. At this point, the bleeding is the only moisture I have in my mouth. Oh, well. Could be worse.

Could be snowing.

It begins to snow. You are low on drink.

Joyless shouts, 'Hail, Keepers of Honor'

You will now auto-follow Joyless. *WARNING*: Do NOT use around lava, water, cliffs, or other dangerous areas because you WILL fall into them. You have been warned....

Yes, yes, I know. (Why the HELL can't we shut that warning OFF, I ask you?)

Joyless was injured by falling.

You tell your party, 'following, Reverend Husband, sir'

*Sigh*.

You were hit by non-melee for 4 dmg. YOU were injured by falling. You were hit by non-melee for 8 dmg. YOU were injured by falling. Sithan shouts, 'Greetings, Joyless'

You told Adeara, 'it is very effective when combined with putting the Fear of Innoruuk into a foe'

(But to really injure someone requires having them hit F2 and then /fo.)

You are low on drink. Joyless shouts, 'Hey, Sithan' You shout, 'Hail, Sithan' You were hit by non-melee for 3 dmg. YOU were injured by falling. You were hit by non-melee for 13 dmg. YOU were injured by falling.

Yenlo shouts, in an unknown tongue, 'hia ya inka, uddenstank xhis?'

I think I just heard the "I word". Please tell me I didn't hear the I word.

You were hit by non-melee for 2 dmg. YOU were injured by falling.

Adeara tells you, 'ah a tactic I have seen a Necromancer use'

You are low on drink.

You told Adeara, 'and, should you be reduced to cooperation with a Druid or Ranger... best to know that it does not stack with their pitiful snares'

Yenlo shouts, 'master linguist seeks orcish and faerie'

Hmmm. I could spend a delightful hour or two swapping tongues with a cunning linguist. *eG* All in the interest of learning, of course. *small lantern appears over my head*

Adeara tells you, 'why I would depend on them I do not know :)'
