Announcements / EC - Friends of the Pyrimo
October 30, 2018, 06:57:32 AM
This is the relaunching of the EC in Sanctuary as a far more secretive group of agitators, gladiators, spies, and others that work on behalf of Intryzz to witness, record, and harvest the memories of those that have accomplished great and unlikely deeds so that he can ostensibly defeat his Rival's ultimate gladiator: The Monument of Hubris. The faction would appeal to those that wish an actionable way to combat the Dread, cowards seeking release into the Illithid pleasure dreams, former gladiators wanting glory in the pits, Targus conflict raisers... and I'm sure many more.


Owing to the more elite nature of this faction an application will be required, though not onerous, it should simply state a bit about your character and why you would serve Intryzz, and why OOCly you're excited by that or the faction.


Players must be comfortable with conflict, and be prepared to be treated as 'monstrous' in terms of PvP, though actually being good at PvP and partaking in it is certainly not a requirement.


Alignment: Non-good, non-druid.


Reach out to DM Gippy with more questions.

Announcements / Player Assistance Requested
February 09, 2014, 06:25:23 PM
Greetings,

In the next month EFU:R is adding a region system that will give starting PC's a brief synopsis of what is happening with their homeland as they choose to descend into the Underdark. For example you want to know what's up with Cormyr you merely have to ask the last player that escaped through a portal from the region and he'd tell you something like this:
  • You have heard tales that the Cormyrian capital of Suzail still stands, and you believe these rumors as with your own eyes you have seen the periodic foraging parties led by the War Wizards. Yet the War Wizards do not bring aid or fight the Dread. They take what supplies your people have stockpiled and disappear back into their portals offering little more aid to you than a bandit would.

I would like a player, or set of players, to help me come up with all the likely regions that a player would come from. The DM team will then pour through sourcebooks and feed in appropriate region specific rumors for the consumption of players as they start out their adventurers in EFU. I would hope that this would give reasons for many PC's to catch up on surface gossip from all new PCs and players.

#Regions on IRC to help out with this project.

Thank you,

DM Gip

Announcements / No more Smogsons without app
November 04, 2012, 10:06:13 PM
While incredibly fertile, the Smogsons are not actually a majority of the town, and as such there will be no more Smogson PCs without an app for background. For more information on the Smogsons please feel free to PM me or El Groso.

Announcements / Looking for concept?
November 04, 2012, 03:10:18 PM
I know I have not been very active in DMing for quite awhile now except here and there, but next week I would like to introduce a new faction to Mistlocke.

I would like any interested players between concepts to PM if they are interested.

Some tidbits about the faction:

They will be led by a charismatic Ilmateri turned mercenary.

They will gain all sorts of strange bonuses from being withered.

They will have a Goad as their second in command.

They will all come from Old Port.

They can be any alignment, race, or class except for paladin.

Their agenda is primarily neutral or good.

- Gippo.

Announcements / Alchemical Research
December 10, 2010, 07:17:54 PM
Do not use alchemical recipes developed on one character with another PC. If you are caught doing this then your PC will be deleted. Some overlap may be inevitable but for the most part research should be new. Use your judgement and if in doubt ask a DM.

If you're a serious alchemist then you'll have notes. Toss these notes out when you start a new PC navigating the world of alchemy and herbalism.

Screen Shots & Obituaries / Jackin Hoxie
January 06, 2010, 11:54:04 PM
Jackin was a fun PC for me to play. He was always up for wild adventures and sticking it to the man, just like I am in real life.

This is the last stand of Jackin Hoxie about 9 seconds after the fighting started.

General Discussion / Sharboneth Dialogue
November 24, 2009, 11:25:51 PM
Over the next few days I'm going to heavily update the module to reflect changes that have been made over the last two months. There are still many NPCs that have not been updated, especially their dialogue, to reflect the new changes. I am asking for the assistance of the playerbase to report dialogue that does not make any sense anymore. Feel free to just list the NPC's with poor dialogue and their locations here. Other things that don't make sense anymore can be posted here as well. Do not comment on other peoples contributions. Heavy contributors will have my appreciation which is a good thing to have.

An example would be:

QuoteFredoc Hedger, Island - Colony - Ziggurat - Mythallar, standing infront of the Mythallar. References Zakarias as Governor

Yes, I'm leaving for school and will not be around for the next 2 1/2 months. If I have left you or your character with any loose ends please send me a forum PM or if it is not spoiler related you can post it here and I will try to get them sorted out before I leave in two days time. Ciao for now buck-o's.

Announcements / Hey guys!
August 14, 2009, 12:36:14 AM
I'm back from a hiatus as a player and I have but one pledge to you: Every day I am back I shall run a DM quest. My schedule, as always, is funky but when it works it works and I'll be there to help you out in any way I can and better your play experience on a server that's been good to me and I hope good to you. I will usually run stuff afternoon GMT. Let the dead hours not be dead any longer.

Suggestions / Quest Level Changes
May 05, 2009, 03:16:36 PM
I suggest the following changes to these quest level ranges.

Harpies; 2-6 (from 2-7)
- This quest is pretty easy, gives solid payout every time. Hardest part's getting there.
Kobold Mount; 2-6 (from 2-5)
- This quest is fairly difficult/draining even for better parties. Allowing level six players would see it done more often.
Wolves pt 1; 2-6 (from 2-5)
- This quest is easy but does not give a large reward from what I've seen, which balances out the difficulty. Raising the level would allow more people to do the excellent second part of this quest.
Ilythiiri tomb; 3-7 (from 2-6)
-Difficult quest with little payout, a long distance from the colony.

Junk Town says it charges 5 gold, but actually charges 10 to rest.

Suggestions / Get rid of perform
May 01, 2009, 04:27:04 PM
Currently all bards must take perform to get the most out of their class. They're the only class with this skill and it essentially means that to get their class benefits they only get 3 skill points a level. Remove perform as a skill and they get their full four skill points.

No other class uses perform so I do not think it is an accurate judge of an artists ability in things. Instead I believe persuade, bluff, or intimidate are all better judges of how well a performance went -- or just actually doing a sweet, interesting show. Thus as a social skill it is pretty useless.

Suggestions / Ranger Duel Wield In Chain
February 01, 2009, 04:40:53 AM
At level six give rangers the ability to duel wield while wearing chain. This would be a boon to pure rangers and probably not useful to any multiclasses. Reason? Duel wielding is sweet and rangers are hardly overpowering in combat as it is.

Suggestions / NPC chat spam
January 30, 2009, 06:41:11 PM
Please make a great deal of the NPC chat in the Kingsmen/Hanged Goblin only heard by the conversationalist. Especially the Royal Dragon, and Peter's quest.

Suggestions / Counterspelling/Player Tools
January 25, 2009, 03:44:08 PM
Please add Counterspelling to the Player Tools, so it can be set to the inventory as a quick slot and then clicked on an enemy caster. Currently you have to go through a number of awkward radial menus to counterspell.

Suggestions / Camp fires
January 24, 2009, 11:45:49 PM
I personally love setting fires. However, there's a number of areas where one can't set fires. As an RP tool it would be nice to set fires (using oil) on top of the ziggurat, on the docks, and outside the gates.

Suggestions / Too much rain
January 24, 2009, 02:53:37 AM
This rain is a serious downer. It is all the time. Please, modify the scripts just a bit, so there's less of it. A lot less.

General Discussion / New Kiaring Character
January 02, 2009, 02:09:32 AM
Kiaring recently came to me for some advice, and she gave me a few character options, one of which she is now playing. She turned down my number one pick! I am now asking EFU to weigh in on this travesty.
