Sajeek, what druid? You have me confused.
Revery |
Oh, the druid was mentioned in the following post. Are you psychic????

He was out with Bast, then was seen approaching with tiger (when Xiblin left the door open a bit longer than need to be) and was ported with you cats.

I really enjoyed reading that Iksar history. If you wrote it all yourself, Xehn, great job!
Disclosure to the others: Russ and I have had the pleasure in a previous life of experiencing a slice of that life as Iksars. For me, it was a monk and for Russ, a shadow knight. We went through some of those rituals mentioned. It was awesome!

I'm traveling on business, on the Left Coast so three hours later than normal for me. Do not adjust your set. You may experience technical difficulties. Product may settle in transit. All your base are belong to us!

But my bases are where I keep my stuff.
Thanks for the heads up that your posting might be erratic. That coast is notorious for mayhem.

Yar, playing the iskar shadowknight was a blast. Despite everything going against the iskar, they still survive and thrive. And if they ever have/get a Emperor, they will reclaim Kurnak once more. The council is only barely holding them together. Of course, their more interested in their own ambitions, as opposed to rallying the iskar. The war that is taking place is a perfect opportunity for the rulers to near open attack, and then blame the elves.
Getting all the softskins out of Kurnak, namely the elves, would probably do a lot to return them to there current war against... everything else on Kurnak, lol.

Let's get the Google Document is up-to-date.
Now that the group has seen 10 levels of play and has opened up their city for all races/classes, I'm doing the same for the game. I am now permitting any class, race or alignment, but the onus is on you to come up with the strong reason why your character wishes to join the group. Ponder it and let me know if anyone wants to don a different outfit.
In the interim I'm going to throw the game on a brief hiatus.
Xenh |
EverQuest has a long tradition of alts (alternative characters distinguished from one's "main" character), and in latter years of "boxing" (one person running two characters at the same time).
Now that the group is smaller, I am going to consider taking your guys up on previous offers of running two characters, as well as considering character changes.
Please post here if either is something you are considering, and if you're going to pull the trigger this would be the time to discuss what class/race that new character could be. Don't take Fenris into account in your decisions, my NPC is mainly an intro to a race/class, rather than a permanent fixture in the game.
Aside: if the group wants to fight about the phial, discuss their strategies, or whatever, feel free to do so while the game is on pause. You can get up the ramp, out of the water, and have a few minutes before anything happens/someone comes by. I'll describe the sights when I put the game back in gear.

Ooh, Kspress! Iksar monk may be fun.
Kwen |
Urg, kk when do you want the second character? Sorry super tired, even just working an 8 hour shift still leaves me drained. How bout an Iksar wizard? I'll prop dual class monk with wiz

No rush, I know we're both pretty slammed right now. Ponder it and throw some ideas in here.
Iksar is an option, but so are all the other races/classes, just make sure that the race you want to play can be the class you want.
Kwen |
kk I'll think of something
Xenh |
Keep in mind: The onus will be on you to create second characters that have sufficient motivation to join Pravus and will also not be complete headaches to the others. I will give you an opportunity to find each other (the second characters will be in an iksar jail) and then after that the magic is yours and yours alone.
Tentacledone |
So Mike, I was thinking, if you are planning on playing a certain iskar monk, that being jailed was our reward. They had collected the emperor's beating heart. Instead of being part of the glorious return of the Emperor's bloodline, they were thrown in jail to rot. They weren't killed on the off chance that they might come in useful as cannon fodder or something.
As far a Velkuriss is concerned, that would pretty much be the final straw for the shadowknight. He already knew that the Council was tearing the Iskar apart with their petty scheming. After their "reward," he wants to see the Council torn apart. I'm sure his resounding defeat at the hands of whomever captured them clued him into the fact he isn't able to help his people.
As far as I remember, the 2 were not particularly hateful towards non iskar. Both were interested in trying to help their race in their own ways. And they did travel successfully with non evil softskins :)
I think that a key for V joining Pravus Mortis would be the Shissar. While on Norrath, they are the bogeymen from lone ago. However, as Sajeek knows, they are alive and well on Luclin. And of course, there is that whole "They are Returning" thing with the Shissar :) Other then that, V's only real plan if he got of jail would to be join the Outcasts. Not a whole lot of options on Kurnak otherwise :P
Revery |
Interesting idea - I like it. I was thinking either Kspress, or someting completely different like an Elf Ranger. But Kspress was not evil, I think, or doesn't have to be.
The two Iksars would have to effect change in their race in a different way - maybe a grassroots movement. Someday...
Xenh |
The world is thine oyster, play whatever race/class you want (any race of slaves could be in the jail), as long as they can play nice with the group.
Kwen |
I might be thinking about a wizard, just have to choose what race I am going to be and build him up. Oh in case anyone wanted to do shoping in the evil game, before we start the answer is yes. 25% higher than book price for purchasing, September 30th is creeping closer and closer
Tentacledone |
I could see them having a glimmer of hope in the thought of at least attempting to help their people that way.
If J goes the Wizard route that would be nifty :) Of course, whatever he picks is awesome. I'm glad we are all on board for the x2 characters. Should make Loki's life a bit easier. Less adding and dropping of players.
Looking forward to the continuation of the Evils game.
Oh, and sorry I missed yesterday. I had a total slacker day :)
Kspress |
Okay, having a kicking martial artist will be a nice change from a wimpy enchanter.
I still have Kspress here.
What adjustments in equipment, abilities, training points, levels should be made? I guess if we're prisoners, then I know what equipment we'll have....

The new characters will be raised up to level 10 and have the same influx of cash that the group did. You'll knock over an armoury, or find their gear, or whatever on the way out.
45,000 gold pieces!
Class Titles:
- Wizard would be an Evoker
- Monk would be a Master
- Shadowknight would be a Revenant
We have Kpress' MW link, please toss out the other links when the sheet is set up.
One thing to consider, and I hate to lubricate your parade, but 6 player characters will result in me exiting Fenris and likely any useful character in the group. That will leave you without a healer. Russ, if you were wanting a porter you can have Fenris if you want (my version has spent nearly all his money on spells though).
Tentacledone |
okay, so I should have the document up to snuff in the next couple of days, and Velkuriss should be could to go tomorrow :)
Sorry, had sorta slacker weekend, and looking for a new job. I have been a bit scattered brained, sorry about missing a yesterday :)
Oh, and did you mean a teleporter Loki? We could set Fenris up in/near Justis :) Keeping a druid around and happy for teleporting strikes me as a good idea. As far as lugging stuff around, I think Sajeek and V are big enough to carry their stuff :P

Sorry, using EverQuest vernacular.
Porter = One who can teleport.

Working on Kspress too, mainly equipment, and potential feats. I haven't forgotten about you all... :-)
Xenh |
No rush cats.
I normally am behind you guys with the prodding stick, but going for ~11 months straight it's nice to have a bit of a break myself.
Kwen |
lol, I will try to dig something from the far corner of my frontal lobe, no real healer eh, hmmm methinks multiclass character might be happening. Or I just might be pulling a cleric out of the ether... anyway, gods I think I've made more new characters in the last week then I have in a while.
Xenh |
<leaves out some breadcrumbs for Torchbearer>
Crazy, wonder what happened.
Kwen |
Maybe he got deported?
Xenh |

He pulled an EJ Nubbins.

That is soo mean... Just cuse work is occupying my whole existence, and the fact that they have just extended my temp service for another month. That makes me a sad panda face, due to the 'critical' development, I will still be with both jobs for a little longer.

All good, RL trumps the game, and damn them for liking you enough to keep you around.
Grats man!
Kwen |
Yeah but I'd rather they hire me so I can quit Lowes... still it means work all the overtime...
Kspress |
Xenh, could you remind me of the house rules on training points? Inquiring iksars want to know...

Do you mean the bonus points to even the group out?
If so we take the XP negative for certain races and give it as a bonus to the attributes of the others in the group.
Xenh |
I thought there was a separate bonus for non-spellcasters?
Ah, I was trying out a double training point thing for pure melee for the first 10 levels.
Jeremy was going to report back about whether he saw a significant difference or not.
Jeremy?
Xenh |
I think he'll check when he gets out of work today. In between he sometimes gets a couple of hours off.
Sorry I have been silent for a few days. Ended up travel upstate to a buddy's wedding and whatnot. Good times :) Although, I think I might need rinse my liver out.
With alcohol!

Is there any other way to rinse ones liver out, other then more booze? I think not!!

Please post your new character here once they are done.
Mike please let me know when they've been vetted.
Revery |
Will do.
Are we starting out as prisoners, truly?
Xenh |
Are we starting out as prisoners, truly?
Yes, the second characters will start together in a prison, and can introduce themselves. You've all been in there for years, and have been brutalized your entire time.
You're all in the same cell, and have nothing. You are naked, skin and bones (no stat loss, just roleplaying flair), covered in your own filth, and are malnourished.
For ease you have all been thrown together within the last few days, and have not talked yet.
Kwen |
Okay so I am making a wizard in case anyone was wondering
Xenh |
As a heads up my NPC, if there is one, will be a non-combatant and really only for roleplaying fluff, so don't expect ports or heals or buffs or anything (might be a madman, or a ghost, or a fey, or an imp, or...).
Just wanted everyone to know that you're minus a dedicated healer : )
Kspress |
Kspress is ready!
(He knows Velkuriss, though, right?)
Xenh |

Yes, he has all the information that came of the previous game, though he was arrested shortly afterward, his mission a failure, and is considered a traitor by his people.

Question about multiple ranged attacks: Are the EQ rules for throwing javelins, for instance, the same as PF, I.e., you can throw two in one round as a full round attack if you have multiple attacks per round, but only if you have the quick draw feat? I looked through the PH but couldn't find anything. What about if you have the javelins in hand already?
