Seem to make sense to have these useable by outcast PCs or at least by Druids as she does offer a special shop via dialogue check for Druid Class. Perhaps non-druids can pay a fee to use them? NPC is the Sandstone Caves in the zone directly to the left of the Gate of Roses when exiting the Krak.

THE TIDE RISES



Recruiting ELVES for the ELVENTIDE (Yes I am stealing the name Gordan came up with cause he is gone for now).

Other non-humans welcome. You can be part of the Elventide or call yourselves your own race-tide. The Hintide, the Dwarventide, the Gnomentide. Whatever works. Could just call it the Pondstide? Either way.. The Tides shall Rise!

PS: Explicitly and outwardly Non-establishment (read: non-ward) humans also welcome. Bandits, druids, freaks, weirdos, what-have-you...

- Anti-Establishment/Ward/King/Count
- Nature Oriented. Druids, feylings, and savages of all kinds welcome, bust out those Loincloths!
- Working to protect the Land and prepare for as much of it to be saved as possible when the Nothing Breaks through, it is said there are many "islands" in the Dark Sea of the Nothing... we will work to make this "island" as big as possible
- Band together to resist the tyranny and oppression of the Ward and/or Countsmen (They are just edge-wards anyway)
- Band together to resist Ishmenka and his Bonersmilers despite their generous offer to kill us all and make us undead

SKRATTI FACTION OUTLINE

THE SKRATTI ARCH-PACK

These are the gods, the pantheon, that the Skratti follow. Gnipir and his Brood are ancient gods that take the form of a pack of massive wolves, whom originated in the same world as the King and Count and were able to somehow follow their trail to The City.

Many of the Arch-Pack were believed to be lost in the transition, but these are those whom we know of now.

GNIPIR
(The Winter Wolf. The Father of Stories. The Wyrdfather)

Patriarch of the Skratti Arch-Pack, Gnipir is a wise old wolf that has long sought to guide and protect men and other races. The Father of Stories would often take the form of a man and come down from the mountains in the depths of Winter acting as a traveler. He would join them as they sat around their fires telling stories to pass the long nights to hear their tales, and to share some of his own. Thus did he teach them of Gnipir, of Hroth, of Valgeri and so forth without them ever realizing who it was among them. In the end times Gnipir shall let loose one great and final Howl that will summon to his hall all those Scribed in the Book of Bones.

HROTH
(Hroth the Black. The Black Wolf)

Gnipir's firstborn, whom found cause to disagree with his father long ago,  though he lost the ensuing conflict and was unable to prevent Gnipir's will from being done. Since then he has always contended with Gnipir's decisions, and is known for seeking out forbidden knowledge and aspects. It is said that we experience nighttime because Hroth's incessant seeking pierced the veil and allowed darkness dominion over half the sky each turning. He beleives he does what must be done, when others are unable and willing to do so.

VALGERI:
(Valgeri the Immoveable. The Ironhide. Valgeri Ironhide)

The second son of Gnipir, ever loyal to his father and though slow to anger his ferocity in battle is unmatched once fully roused. Valgeri lays astride the path to Gnipir's Den, his Hall, in order to prevent the passage of Hroth or anyone else deemed unworthy. Even larger than his father, Valgeri's hide is studded with the weapons of the countless who have tried to pass him and failed.

THE STORMDOTTIR
(The Forgotten Daughter, Actual Name Unknown)

One of Gnipir's daughters who was though lost until she appeared to Solomyn in his dreams to enlist his aid in freeing her as his family holds ancestral ties to her. She reveres the sudden twist of fate, where all things change and souls are stripped bare for their truth to be seen... the moments that remind one that anything is possible. Her aspect is the Storm, both of the mundane types and as a sudden storm of fate that leaves everything in its path changed.


-----------------------------------------------------------

ROLES

Runekeepers: Protectors and Scribes of the Book of Bones. Spiritual guides and mentors to the Skratti as a whole.
Wyrdseekers: Gather stories of the fallen to be given to the Runekeepers for Scribing. Seek out and try to guide Wyrds of great potential among the yet living.
Wyrdspeakers: Teach of, speak of, or perform works derived from the stories in the Book sharing the Wyrds within to ensure they are remembered truly.
Sentinels: The Martial guardians of the Skratti. Often dedicated to Valgeri.
??Fangs??: Some rumors are whispered regarding the existence of an order of assassins in the Skratti whom call themselves Fangs, or the Fangs of Hroth. But... those are just rumors... right?


---------------------------------------------------

THE BOOK OF BONES

The mysterious Tome in which are Scribed the Wyrds of the Fallen. The Skratti believe any whom have their story so scribed within has their soul protected from joining the faceless sea of the Forgotten Dead that is the Nothing.

Alignment: LN, CN, TN, CE, LE, NE,  and perhaps CG... LG and NG prolly a difficult fit.
Class: Any (We currently lack a true tank, and do not have any Sorcerers or Wizards, Cleric also a role in need of filling)
Theme: Viking-Esque, Winter Aligned, Winter/Wolf Cultists
PvP/Conflict: PvP Heavy Player-Faction, Enemies of the Ward, Many unaligned PC also unfriendly due to onset of Winter blamed upon Skratti Founder, and long time Augur of Arrhenius, Sverri.

This item says it gives dodge in the description, yet the feat does not show on character sheet when equipped. Obtained from Bog Ogre quest in Ring 94

#5
Moonspear ranks have been thinned of late and are in a prime state for new blood. We are currently hooked into multiple plots with potentially significant server impact and I strongly encourage anyone who has considered rolling up a Retainer of this House to do so now! Feel free to reach out to Glyph or VP if you want to discuss potential concepts, but there is plenty of room for many types of PCs.

Plots currently related to The Nothing, The Throne of the City, Prince Trystan... plenty of political subplots if that is your thing... and some juicy secrets.

Alignments: LN, LG, CN, CG, TN for the most part. Some Evil concepts might fit as well, maybe.



#6
Most of the Ancients have a Ritual Site where Druid PCs can perform scripted Ley Rituals.  Ring 98 is the only Ring in which the Ley Roads currently work for passage around the ring. It would be neat, and make sense for a Ley Road Gate (opened via Ley Ritual like the other such Gates) near the Mushroom Court as it lays in the same Ring.
#7
Quite frustrating to lose the guardians/henchmen/companions one can get from the various druid ritual altar to a crash. A reclaim tool like used wit undead would be grand.

Screen Shots & Obituaries / BAD TOM WAS HERE
November 25, 2020, 09:27:22 AM
My first Obit!

A nod to my other PCs that didnt get one but maybe should have: (V4: Manyfaces, Jen'isand Rul, Bidithak Ishthix, Eniash Diskanya,)  ( V5: Kowl Rhavan, Druss Irontone, Bruhklan Gearshatter, Ahm Lobhadh. )


Bad Tom was born to the Clan  Lochlan in the Highlands of Ring 94. Given to constant drinking and fighitng in his youth, the clan elders dubbed him with his namesake moniker. He had served Lord Glitt before, working under William Coldshanks of Findlay's Glen, but was forcibly retired when he got on the bad side of Steward Skudge. Upon hearing the Steward had finally been ousted, and finding his supply of drinking coin drastically low, Bad Tom decided it was time re join the Noble and Aulde House of Glitt.




Soon after he arrived he met Valatina of Glitt, Blessed of the Waters, who converted him to her faith. Skeptical though he was of faith in general, upon her death attemptng to lift a curse from Dorian Raventree he pledged to carry her faith onward when he returned her legendary sword to The Waters.





He was then witness to the death of the first Moonspear Champion, and the taking of Isabela as the new Champion.





He did some things. Tried to help out in the Tourney. Watched Gawen die and more...One of which was stumble upon a battle between Eupraxia and the God of the Renunciation. The Razor Web. No pics sry ;)

He also.... earned a KILT.





Bought a weapon for a rediculous price that definitely did not turn out to be a cursed item cherished by a certain sleepy god.





Did his best to make big daddy Bernard proud.





And died alongside allies with his weapon in hand... which was all he truly wanted in life.

The Findlay's Glen area has a few campfires but PCs are unable to rest near them. There is also no merchant that sells food/oil. This makes it a bit frustrating for PCs who decide to Set Spawn to Findlay's.

Potentially relevant is work done by a few players IC to help settlement efforts in the Glen and establish some mercantile presence as well. (Thomas MacLochlan, Etzio & the Rough Cuts, Desir, Tarn Horacio etc)
#10
Seems to be an issue with an item in Glitt Favor Shop (Glitt Warding Cloak, Hidden). Item requires Generic Favor rather than Peerage Favor
#11
House Glitt is seeking PCs of all types to join us in shenanigans and quite possibly some malarkey as well.

Current PCs: Thomas MacLochlan, William Mason, Dougal Maclaren

(All of us are melee focused non-caster classes that tend to use 2h weapons. A shieldbearer, mage, cleric, rogue or bard would be a great fit. )

We are forming up a Ringrunning crew to explore deeper into the City in search of answers, gold, glory, and many other things!

There are also quite a few interesting Glitt related plots being pushed by DMs that would certainly be a blast to participate in,  some of which will be in the 99th and some of which will require some ringrunning as well as a few based around Findlay's Glen in Ring 94.

Come join the good ol' boys of Glitt and help raise this once storied House back to Honor and Prominence.

Check out this awesome post by Forum Archlord RwG for a peek at the history and legacy of House Glitt. They are far more than just a bunch of sloppy drunk louts, especially after their recent makeover following the efforts of PCs like Geno and Mairead.

There is great potential for a wide breadth of characters and a rich underlying story that can be the foundation for some great experiences IG.

Plus you get to wear a kilt.

Introductions and Group Management / GLITT GLITT GLITT
September 20, 2020, 02:24:02 AM
As you may be aware Glitt has taken some heavy losses lately after losing Gawen and Valatina. There are a total of four of us left: Bad Tom, Dorian Raventree, William Mason and Fergus. You will notice, perhaps, that while all of us are fairly capable melee fighters we have a distinct lack of magics... anyone who considered rolling a Glitt bard/sorc/wiz/cleric would find themselves showered in glitt-like love and affection in all its many forms ;)  (Note we will welcome non casters as well, of course... byob)

We may be out of the Toruney for now but are 100% angling to get back in. All it takes is one successful duel for a house to go from 1 point to being a serious contender, and we intend to make use of supplementary events as well.

There are also quite a few interesting Glitt related plots being pushed by DMs that would certainly be a blast to participate in,  some of which will be in the 99th and some of which will require some ringrunning. Come join the good ol' boys of Glitt and help raise this once storied House back to Honor and Prominence.

Sometimes when I equip my Greenmask of Willowgrove it un-equips my complete Symbol of the Ancients. Think it has something to do with the Disguise feature. If I try to equip the ring with the mask on it says I am unable to use this item. Happens often when wildshaping.
#14
If you activate Power Attack while wildshaped and forget to deactivate the mode before you shift back to your normal skin you will be stuck in power attack without any way of dropping it
#15


The successful climb roll in this image is from another climb i attempted a moment before. the node my cursor is on can not be accessed
#16
Greystone Company is open for new members. Small Folk only (dwarf/hin/gnome). Alignment thus far leans toward LN/LG/NG/CG/CN but open to others if it makes sense RP wise.

Lost a few players due to Abala's feasty trickery and retirement due to personal reasons, looking to shore up the ranks! Got a few neat plots running!

Suggestions / Set Ally Playertool
August 16, 2019, 11:23:32 PM
I think such a tool would be very useful. hard to type out names in combat some times
#18
Whenever my PC Druss Irontone uses a stack of vials that is down to 2 remaining both vials disappear though only one is actually used by my PC . This happens if use from inventory or from hotbar. Another PC Tealeaf (GSID SpaciousQ) was experiencing the same.  See video.

In Ring 99 there is a small wall that creates a cul de sac near Door to 98. This is the area in which the two puzzle chamber quests are contained. There is a spot in the wall near the corner where it connects to the Ring Wall in which players and npcs can walk through the wall.

Bug Reports / Food Consumption Script Bug
March 30, 2019, 12:49:58 AM
I have noticed that when you attempt to rest while the Rest Timer is still active, and you are in a rest area that requires food, you will consume food even if the rest is cancelled due to the timer. Has put me into multiple frustrating situations.
