Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

[Spatzimaus]

Moreover, at this point he had been officially "on duty" for nearly a year and a half without break, and he was exhausted. He became increasingly cranky and snippy, wanting nothing more than to get back to the surface, report in to the Chapel, and be Done With It All.

Sounds like someone needs a fluffy bath towel.

Whatever the secret of the girl is, it must be strange indeed - I mean, she noticed Priggle! She. Noticed. Priggle! She cannot be normal.

My favourite part of the update. It's about time the little guy got some respect! Even if she did quote a bunch of drowish insults at him.

It shows she's got a really high Spot bonus too.

Out of interest PC, at which point did KidC take over the running of the girl? Was she running the girl from the very beginning of the meeting, or after first "pleasantries" were exchanged? I'm always interested to see how different people introduce new PCs mid-stream.

Cheers

Along both sides of the long, narrow hall stand dozens of unmoving zombies. Male and female, elf and dwarf and human and giant, they stand there mutely waiting for Soder to inhabit them. Malachite can see an undead version of Mara half-way down the line on the left, and an undead Priggle next to her.

“What are these things?” asks Malachite to the girl, already knowing the answer.

“My father’s clothes.”

Got to love Soder's 'wardrobe'..

I've attempted to create "Old Friends"! Come see it in the Art Thread!

Come and see all the other awesome artists as well.

Just out of curiosity, KidC, did the fixation on Malachite begin as a way to keep the PC alive by getting on the good side of the most inflexible paladin 'round these parts?

Duhh--everybody knows Malachite is the sexiest DoD of all. (Sorry, Nolan, but a man can be too pretty, you know ). Too bad his heart is made of stone...or am I wrong, Mara??

I've attempted to create "Old Friends"! Come see it in the Art Thread!

Awesome, but ahhhhhhh, change the link from the cyberstreet addy!!!

 

[Steverooo]

So, PC/DoDers, did anyone ever go over and peek into the Elder-hole, to see where it went to? Ask "Weal or woe", or anything? Anyone ever ask what happened to the other big-bad worm?

So how much do we (the readers) and/or the DoD know about the history of their world, for sure? I mean, the blind elf presented them with a story, but the veracity?

According to ol' bloody-eyes (the elf, not Stone Bear), the BBEWorms ruled the world... Of course, also according to his tale, there were people (of some sort) here then, too, but the last one died before they (Imbindarla, Aeos, et al) got here... So who does Spira rightfully belong to?

Thangs that makeya go "Hmmm"!

Duhh--everybody knows Malachite is the sexiest DoD of all. (Sorry, Nolin, but a man can be too pretty, you know ).

Let's find out! Continuing the "showcasing art with a theme" approach, here are two pictures of Malachite (one new) and one new picture of Nolin.

Here's Malachite (now) by Amal Shukup. . .

Note the way Karthos glows, and the emerald on Malachite's chest. You'll find out more about that in the upcoming posts.

And Malachite two years ago, by (contact), up in the belltower of the Mother Church of Corsai. It probably goes without saying when you're discussing a paladin of Aeos, but I love the use of light in both of these pictures.

In comparison, here's (contact)'s new "Nolin comes Unlive." You'd think he was playing to a crowd of rabid fans, then you look again -- and the glowing eyes make you realize exactly what's happening. . .
