You start to climb up.
You travel a long distance northup.
You nearly got half the way up to the peaks but you know in comparison to
climbing one of the summit the way up to here was just a nice walk. Proudly
you look back on the way you made up to here. A bit higher mist arises and
hinders your sight.
To the northeast someone has carved stairs into the mountain slope, leading
up to the very top of this mountain, On a buff over the stairs is a round
tower, guarding the stairs and the junction here.
There are three obvious exits: northdown, northeastup, southdown.
A corpse of Aragog, a corpse of a bow-legged childlike male dwarf, a crude
longsword and a steel arrow.
> Old, very slight and very bloody tracks of a human leading southdown, coming f
rom northeastup.
A steel arrow hits your right foot, slightly wounding you!
Your wounds start to bleed.
You deflect a steel arrow with your boneshield.

As the a steel arrow drills into your left foot it leaves an

You shouldn't test your luck by removing HIS Holy Symbol.
Your ghost state allows you to travel 'start'.

LOL

I can just say:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

After all, this weird death was worth every stat lost temporarily.

Someone uninstalls photoshop from Abh's computer, please.

You had it ready Abh, didnt you?

Perfect ..

Oh my, if I would have known what I didnt know and what I found out now...

I wouldn't have done anything different

FUN

That is downright amazing.

Absolutely made my morning

We mastered the martial arts and started trying our hands at a little Ranger archery to the side.

Lesson for rangers:

Stop messing around with backstab and master your bows, you'll be able to crit Jezz twice even shooting from another room!

.oO(If that doesn't motivate them to use bows, I don't know what will)

Good news - I found a 'cure disease' for the Crusade-Virus that had us in its claws yesterday

Bah! It is not as easy as it looks. Even as a "master" with missile, I have only hit one player (bigger than an orc) with an arrow (elven arrow). That was a big tshahark, probably an easy target

Those steel arrows look nice though. Are they available to all, or do we have to kill some Shaolin to get them?

I know I shouldn't wonder but...did it never occur to you to ask for this cure disease instead of thinking about going for Shaolin? Must be one of the symptoms of the virus...

Stop messing around with backstab and master your bows

From what I take it, there were really only 3 of us seriously using backstab. The rest were suggesting interesting ideas like being able to shoot 2 arrows at once....

I mean, seriously, check the log. From another room they critted me 2 times and with only a slight hit at my right foot they brought me "not feeling very well". You don't need to shoot two arrows if you can do what they did to jezz shooting only one.

You don't need to shoot two arrows if you can do what they did to jezz shooting only one.

Hence the exclamation point.

The really incredible part is the fact that they were so successful despite Jezz's shield. Where can I get some of those steel arrows?

"Only" three? Out of, what, six?

*sigh* See, that's what happens. You show them how powerful they could be and they just ignore you

I am quite surprised if the bows are really that powerful, I mean Delia had archery at around 80 at somepoint and it was REALLY hard to seriously damage or even to hit anything with elven bow + elven arrows. Guess something must have changed since then. Good for the Shao Temple atleast, to know that the bum-lazy archers aren't paid for nothing

And if bows did that...imagine what a group of crossbows could do...
