At long last...the beast's lair...

I saw that place strolling downtown Toronto a month ago.

Megale made any place with his presence feel awesome, like when with Amak, my gnome and Kzeruh wandered the tunnels, it was a strange and awesome travel group.

A delicious Illuminaughty quest, alot of screenies! (He insisted I post them all. :( )

-The Begining-

A member of the 'First Fleet' (Nawti got it wrong, what a noob) called for adventurers to explore an island, after arriving the meet an elf that explains to them his tribe was cursed to be absolutely delicious by a wizard and his gnomish hunter tribe, who began hunting down the elves and getting fat off their feasting, asks the group to find a Tome of Gnomish Virility and bring it to him to prevent the gnomes from getting it first, details in the screens.

With alot of detail and silliness, the placeables were funny to read.



-The crypt-

A dangerous crypt filled with delectable and delicious elven ghosts and remains.



-The return-

Having obtained the Tome of Gnomish Virility they head back and decide to 'ambush' the gnomes by luring them over a few traps, but during the 'planning' the gnomish cook ran down each trap, evading each one as he went towards the group, without realizing what was going on, eventually running as the group surrounded him.



Having defeated his hordes of Urdlen Fanatics the King Gnome Hunter emerges from his house, having spent perhaps 10 minutes fighting him, because the group wouldn't actually back down or find another way to kill him as he absorbed most attacks and regenerated HP, he was finally killed and the tome given to the elf they met earlier.



-The End-



And so a trippy quest by Illuminaughty is concluded, the only loot given for all the supplies we used was this:

Have lots of cake, and all that! Happy birthday. ^_^

Not to sound too negative, but it doesn't seem to make very much sense that a group of souls would somehow manage to escape Kelemvor's realm and magically appear with their flesh intact on Ymph for some vague reason, in my opinion.

I've not encountered a single lag spike what-so-ever, which is practically a miracle when it comes to my poor internet.

Well, I may not have ever created any memorable legends or been successful in many ways at all throughout my years on the server or been a noticeable forum warrior, but I felt that I had to make this posting.

I've been on this server a long time, always trying to strive and succeed, and usually fail and give up. I've made alot of friends and had alot of good times due to DM courtesy of adventures.

Real life now calls and I must put this part of my old life behind me for good, it was a pleasure to have known and played with you folks! So for whomever it concerns, I hope you continue to have fun! Thanks to all the DMs and players whom have made this server a great place to roleplay.

I may occasionally pop into IRC now and then over time.

Adios!

This is a PC title I enjoyed immensely long before finding the NWN PWs. It's a first-person RPG set on the world Arx, where the sun has died and has forced all the surface races underground or else they would freeze to death from the perpetual winter. The game has an amazingly atmospheric setting to it and the underground areas could be likened to how EfU in the UD and Sanctuary would, from a higher graphical and first person perspective, feel, and I definitely recommend it to everyone in the community. The gameplay is of course very good, in my opinion, and the magic casting system is more involved, requiring you to draw symbols in the air to prepare spells. Story and voice acting are quite good, as far as memory serves, and will provide a decent amount of hours.

There's a free demo to try it out and if you like it enough, the game can be bought and downloaded via Steam for only 5$. You can create a Steam account for free and download the demo, links provided below. So think about it and check it out! I don't think you'll regret it.

I've taken a few screenshots of things run by Mort, but been too lazy to post them until now.

First off we have a DM quest Mort ran on Halloween, it was filled with epicness and spooky atmospheres.

The Fleet of the First Bolt recruits adventurers to explore other islands in the archipelago with them for treasure.


After being forced to land ashore, here is the group as they get ready to explore.


Encountering an army of gnolls on the cliff ahead of them, their chief challenges Murien to a duel for safe passage to the tower they spotted a ways back on the boat.



Unfortunately I was too wrapped up watching the intense battle that followed to take any screenshots, suffice to say it was amazing.

Murien defeated the chief in a close battle to the death, the group proceeded towards the creepy tower they saw, unfortunately I forgot to take more screenshots again, except for these two. :(

We battle through a creepy village filled with zombies and skeletons popping out of the ground.


After more fighting outside the tower and entering the base level, with no way up we discover a treasure room, filled with ph4t lewt.


A great and fun event.

Second is event run while I was fooling around on a gnomish barbarian of Urdlen. I didn't get any screenshots until the end of the event when our guide betrayed us as a million slavers appeared.

They all got crushed.






Thanks to Mort for the fun times.

As the title reads, selecting the Dispel Beneficial Spells option in the player menu removes the class bonuses of damage immunity and 20% speed for barbarians. Though it may not be worth reporting this because relogging fixes the issue, I thought I may as well as report it anyways.

While venturing out into the wilds as part of Otula's many exploration adventures, the whole group was overcome by sleep inducing mist, which resulted in the following vision.




After waking from the vision the group travelled half-way across the island into the mountains and confronted the basilisk, obtaining means to unpetrify the two statues. The result was this.




We soon travelled back to the Ziggurat with them, on the way watching Gaeseric beat the shit out of a ogre bandit, which unfortunately I did not get a screenshot of. :( Thanks to Howland for running this leet quest.

I don't know if it is just me, but I've noticed that in alot of areas including the Ziggurat and wilderness areas during night, the fog seems too bright and grey, not matching the darker colors of the night and so do the areas themselves, appearing to look more like just a cloudy day than actual night time. Does anyone else think this is true?
