Glowing blue-green lines flare into existance forming an archway. Mathuna strides through the archway. Then the archway begins to flicker and fades away.

>Mathuna begins to toss metal bits in.
Wanderstar peers quizzically at Mathuna.

>Genuvar stands up.
>Genuvar just went out.
>Elliara exclaims, "Yay!"
>Mathuna says, "We have seen that wands are being refine tuned on damage."
>Pamico raises an eyebrow in Mathuna's direction.
>Mathuna says, "the goal is to make them a viable but not only tool for an alchemist to use in a hunt."
>Elliara says, "Good goal."
>Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
>Mathuna says, "we as promised will be reworking, Hermes, Nike, Athena, and Ares."
>Pamico asks, "Not Hesita?"
>Mathuna says, "and Hestial."
>Pamico grumbles.
>Mathuna says, "err hestia."
>Pamico says, "To what"
>Mathuna says, "I expect that when we are done, potency will determine duration, but how it affects you after drinking it, will depend on your alchemy skill."
Gloomthryn nods.
Pamico says, "So basically making them more maker only than they are now"
>Cutpurse Sheera came through a wide archway.
>Cutpurse Sheera just went out.
Pamico says, "So why not just get rid of the dextox"
>Mathuna says, "when that is done, the will be removed from the maker only limitation we currently have on them."
>Doron nods.
>Pamico says, "Peachy"
>Gloomthryn says, "good"
>Elliara says, "Hexellent."
>Mathuna says, "The goal is to find some better use for the gels, than removing the maker only limitation."
>Gloomthryn says, "course thiers bound to be a down side, thiers always a down side"
>Pamico asks, "Okay Now the ones in the storys same way?"
>Arakne nods to Mathuna.
>Pamico says, "Err stores"
>Pamico chuckles to herself.
>Mathuna says, "this change will also resolve the problem of a powerful alchemist over powring a younger one."
>Wanderstar grins.
Pamico says, "So also means for training that you can jack your skills in reallocation and be a god "
>Mathuna chuckles.
Arakne rummages around in her pockets.

>Heartsong grins at Pamico.
>Goldenmane hugs Apollonius.
>Doron says, "with all the wands and such we don't really need the other draughts anymore"
>Elliara grins at Pamico.
>Mathuna says, "that will change with reallocation."
>Arakne nods to Mathuna.
>Mathuna says, "there are some who prefer to use weapons Doron."
>Arakne says, "and explosives"
>Mathuna says, "we never wanted to remove that option from alchemists."
>Arakne cackles to herself!
>Mathuna says, "but we needed more than one path for them to advance."
>Pamico says, "Yeah but as an older alchemist"
>Pamico says, "Never trained in weapons"
>Pamico says, "My weapons are useless"
>Mathuna says, "before it was only by making heavy duty draughts that you could advance."
>Gloomthryn says, "i once asked a raider if he thought my rod was a weapon, you can bet that the aswer was yes"
>Gloomthryn says, "course i killed him for he could nswer"
>Elliara chuckles.
>Artist Aviran just arrived.
>Mathuna says, "weapons training is always an option, but it should only be that Pamico."
>Heartsong asks, "so when you guys are done an alchemist could be a weapon user with some potions and stuff thrown in or a formula/bomb/wand user?"
>Mathuna nods to Heartsong.
>Doron shudders.
>Pamico says, "At the amount that it costs to train no it isnt really a viable option and still have decent potencies"
>Mathuna says, "or possibly use a combination of tactics."
>Pamico says, "Expecially with the way you are now going to figure draught"
>Gloomthryn nods to Pamico.
>Mathuna says, "Training paths will be reevaluated as part of the reallocation."
>Gloomthryn asks, "which end are you supposed to hit them with again?"
>Doron grins at Gloomthryn.
>Wanderstar says, "the pointy end"
>Mathuna asks, "I think its the hilt?"
>Pamico says, "God only knows I havent touched a regular weapon but to skin with in over 18 trainings now"
>Gloomthryn says, "ahh, yes, now i remember"
>Pamico chuckles at Gloomthryn.
>Mathuna grabs the blade of his longsword and swings the hilt at Wanderstar.
>Grindan chuckles at Mathuna.
>Gloomthryn chuckles.
>Elliara says, "It seems to me that when all the changes are made everyone will have to re allocate..."
>Elliara rubs her chin.
>Mathuna says, "yes, thats why reallocation will be happening."
>Wanderstar grabs a claidhmore and shows you a little rune on it saying this end toward enemy.

>Mathuna says, "unfortunatly neither of us are working on smithing."
>Doron grins.
>Wanderstar says, "ya stop kissin that frog"
>Pamico asks, "Yeah what ever happened to that cure Wanderstar?"
Apollonius chuckles at Wanderstar.
>Gloomthryn asks, "is it being worked on?"
>Pamico says, "Asked for it at the last gig"
>Pamico grumbles.
>Wanderstar points at Mathuna.
>Pamico turns toward Mathuna.
>Pamico asks, "Well?"

>Gloomthryn tilts his head toward Mathuna.
>Grindan says, "if people didn't take the easy way out of Hades, they wouldn't have to worry about them"
>Mathuna says, "At this time no the cure is not being worked on."
>Grindan whistles tunelessly to himself.
>Wanderstar says, "its all his fault"
Mathuna reaches out and gives Wanderstar a shock!
>Gloomthryn says, "i agree, not a big issue"
>Wanderstar hums!
>Doron asks, "what about them flash paper thingys?"
>Sid carefully rearranges the glasses behind the bar.
>Mathuna grins.
>Mathuna says, "well, thats held up for one reason."
>Mathuna says, "but since I saw a post on that reason..."
>Mathuna ponders.
>(Grindan carelessly unarranges Sid's glasses)
>Wanderstar says, "I have worked a bit on flash paper"
>Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
>Mathuna says, "I've been wanting to keep the effects of flash paper in line with the use of Blinding light."
Gloomthryn blinks.
>Mathuna says, "currently its um 4 times as effective, which is the main reason its not been released."
>Doron nods.
>Wanderstar cackles!
>Anaxamander just arrived.
>Anaxamander sits down.
>Pamico asks, "What about the Spirit formulas? Any future on those?"
>Mathuna says, "and since I saw the note, I am probably going to move the two of them closer in effect."
>The faint glow leaves Goldenmane's hands.
Koronis just arrived.
>Doron asks, "i imagine since Wanderstar had somthing to do with it it's going to kill us too?"
>Tuxolm says, "Wanderstar stokes the fires of creation to the exploding point and Mathuna makes the creations fit for mortals."
>Mathuna says, "once I'm happy at how the two, compare to each other, then I'll release flash paper."
>Pamico chuckles at Tuxolm.
>Mathuna chuckles at Tuxolm.
Grindan mutters since when have alchemists been considered human?
>Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
>Elliara says, "I would like to see the difference in grey and brown powder increased because at this moment they are almost the same, at least in my tests they have been."
Grindan mutters or at least mortal.
>Mathuna says, "I also think we might see more of the spirit formula. We do have some serious holes in the formula list for higher level people."
Wanderstar coughs.
>Pamico says, "Ayep"
Astraea says, "Flash paper is made with boiling a couple different types of acid in real life. I can see all sorts of potential comical preperation fun."
>Astraea cackles!
>Pamico says, "Noticing that myself"
Mathuna grins at Astraea.
>smile astrYou smile at Astraea.
>Anaxamander asks, "We ever gonna have to evacate a small part of Athens due to an alchemial mis-hap?"

>Mathuna lights his smiley paper and throws it at Wanderstar!
He is badly stunned!

>Mathuna grins.
>Pamico chuckles.
>Arakne ponders.
>Mathuna nudges Wanderstar with his elbow.
>Astraea says, "I like the stun."
>Zacariah says, "Just a tad perhaps."
Astraea nods.
>Gloomthryn says, "could we get some of that, it looks like it could be put to good use if someone starts to annoy you"

>Astraea says, "Sort of like a large posable action figure."
>Wanderstar shakes off the stun.
>Astraea coughs.
>Wanderstar says, "oks maybe that is slightly overpowered..."
Zacariah chuckles.
>Pamico says, "Give him his coins back Fiannah And stop rolling the Gms"
>Wanderstar coughs.
>Pamico chuckles at you!
>Mathuna says, "anyway that right there is the reason the flash paper hasn't been released."
>Boldly jumping to his feet, Wanderstar shakes his head and bellows, "Gahreeeergh!"
Mathuna chuckles.
>shush pamYou glance at Pamico and hold up one finger to your lips.
>Grindan rubs his ear.
>Pamico chuckles at you!
Mathuna asks, "ok, questions?"
>Pamico asks, "So gents? What is on the agenda for alchemists under the new engagment system?"
>Wanderstar asks, "death death and more death?"
>Mathuna says, "ah, well, in part thats why the reworking of the draughts."
>weaYou have 11 dinars with you.
>Gloomthryn nods.
>Pamico says, "Yeah we know that"
>whistleYou whistle tunelessly to yourself.
>Koronis whistles tunelessly to herself.
>Mathuna says, "and the wands are being retuned to better work with it."
>Koronis hops up onto the counter and sits down.
>Gloomthryn asks, "hwere are the new wand thingies going to fit in? between wands and rods?"
>Pamico asks, "How will retuning the wands better work with the new system?"
>Pamico asks, "Less damage is better even though Critter health is increased?"
>Pamico rubs her head.
>Mathuna says, "well they where producing to much damage."
>Pamico says, "Yeah in this system maybe"
>Gloomthryn says, "they just want to see us all die"
>Gloomthryn lets out a mournful sighing moan.
>Mathuna says, "we also are looking at ways to combine the 20 vials of X that you carry into one."
>Wanderstar nods to Gloomthryn.
Mathuna grins.
>'they arent the only onesYou say, "they arent the only ones"
whistle>You whistle tunelessly to yourself.
lean glooYou lean on Gloomthryn.
>Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
>Gloomthryn frowns at you.
>Gloomthryn says, "but i already knew that fia"
>Pamico says, "Well I am just wondering if the critters are getting more powerful just how many things we are going to have to carry and make to compete on an equal playing field with the rest of the professions"
>nod glooYou nod to Gloomthryn.
>Elliara nods.
>Sid carefully rearranges the glasses behind the bar.
> Metallic spikes bristle as Doron pets a small dragon resting on him. The dragon briefly opens one glowing eye looking around the area before shifting and falling asleep again with a contented purr.
>Pamico says, "Unless we are just going to be able to make jugs of the stuff"
>Pamico chuckles.
>Elliara chuckles.
>Mathuna grins at Pamico.
>Mathuna says, "the jug idea isn't bad."
>Apollonius exclaims, "Jug bombs!!"
Pamico says, "Or maybe an IV drip"
>Gloomthryn says, "then they would get hit by a creature swing ing at us and blow up"
>Zacariah chuckles.
>You hear someone chuckling.
>Gloomthryn says, "you just wait and see"
>Apollonius exclaims, "Toss them and blast the whole room to smithereens!"
Mathuna whips out a jug, pours a small bit into a flask, caps it and then hurls it at Wanderstar.
>Wanderstar flails his arms about.
>Elliara says, "Uh oh."
>Gloomthryn mutters they will be throwing bombs at me soon, you just wait and see
>Wanderstar hums!
>searElliara raises her hand.
>Roundtime: 3 sec.
You notice Aviran who is quite obviously attempting to remain hidden.
>Astraea says, "And you can form bands to play in the off season."
>Pamico says, "Never did really answer that question though"
>Grindan looks at Apollonius and grows pale.
>Mathuna asks, "yes Elliara?"
>Pamico grins at Mathuna.
>Astraea says, "jug bands I mean."
>Apollonius grins at Grindan.
>Astraea coughs.
Mathuna says, "yes we want you to use more of your tools."
>Elliara asks, "Right now I see no difference between grey and brown powder, savwe for one can be loaded into a warhand... will there be a change?"
>Mathuna says, "and yes we want to make them easier to carry and use."
>Elliara says, "Save even.."
Mathuna says, "and yes we want to at the same time reduce the preperation time."
> The warstaff Gloomthryn is carrying suddenly starts to shrink and shimmer! Within seconds it is a whirl of moving plates and spikes and then it forms into a cat sized dragon. The metal dragon crawls over Gloomthryn then with a contented stretch goes to sleep on a choice spot.
Gloomthryn puts a heavy steel dragon's breath warstaff on.
>Astraea says, "unborify."
>Astraea nods.
>Astraea beams!
>Wanderstar nods.
>Mathuna says, "they are different, but you would have to compare powders from a very high level difference."
Mathuna says, "I think several fo the formulas where originally released with steps far to close together."
>Wanderstar says, "In time I plan a warthingy for each powder"
>Mathuna says, "you cap out in the first one, a bit above the beginning stages in the second one."
>Gloomthryn says, "course once your a high enough level to see the differance, you wont use anything but red"
Mathuna says, "so comparing the brown and grey powder you make isn't good until your much older."
>Elliara asks, "Silver warhand?"
>Elliara gets a hopeful expression on her face.
>Mathuna says, "and its far to late to fix the formula steps."
>Mathuna sighs.
>Jacqueline just left.
>Arakne asks, "why?"
Jacqueline just arrived.
>Elliara says, "Tis alright, I was just curious."
>Mathuna says, "but yes. Really the powders should have been stepped out further, as should the poisons."
>Astraea says, "Mmm Warhandpeace""
>Mathuna says, "because they overlap in power right now."
>rub warYou rub a heavy bronze dragon's breath warhand.
>Pamico chuckles at Astraea.
>Arakne asks, "why can't you fix the steps?"
>Arakne asks, "why is it too late?"
>Wanderstar says, "because that would mess up stuff"
>Apollonius says, "Hmmm...warhand, wararm, warleg, wartorso, warcorpse...etc"
>You hear someone snickering.
>Mathuna says, "ah, I would think rearanging the formula levels would be bad at this stage."
>Elliara exclaims, "Warhoof!"
>Gloomthryn says, "i think you missed warstaff"
>Elliara says, "Wartail.."
>Wanderstar says, "some formulas we prolly can swap about but others..."
>Mathuna nods to Wanderstar.
>Wanderstar says, "warbunny"
Mathuna says, "there is room to move them some."
>Wanderstar coughs.
>Astraea says, "Warhammer, warsaw"
>Wanderstar splutters.
>'demon warbunniesYou say, "demon warbunnies"

>Astraea whistles tunelessly to herself.
>Apollonius says, "Warhounds, warhogs, warfrogs, wartoads"
>Wanderstar says, "warhall"
>Astraea asks, "Warhell?"
Zacariah raises an eyebrow.
>Arakne dissolves into a fit of giggles.
>Heartsong says, "Wargoingoffthedeepend."
>chuckle hearYou chuckle at Heartsong.
>You hear the voice of Aviran say, "warhel, from the Northlands"
>Wanderstar says, "naa thats a given"

>Pamico chuckles.
>Zacariah chuckles.
>Elliara giggles.

You applaud.
>Goldenmane mutters I think those alchemists passed around something potent before this began.
>Zacariah mutters something about wanderpoodle bits.
>Pamico says, "Good way to get rid of all the chocolate from easter"
>Grindan chuckles at Goldenmane.
>Tuxolm offers Wanderstar a towel.
>Arakne grins at Pamico.
>Gloomthryn asks, "where are the other wands going to be placed?"
>Wanderstar flails his arms about.
Elliara says, "And when..."
>Wanderstar says, "healing and laterations skill wands"
>Wanderstar says, "er alterations"
>Gloomthryn ponders.
>Mathuna says, "yes those are the two remaingin wands. They are in developement."
>Gloomthryn asks, "wave a wand and poof i'm healed?"
>Wanderstar says, "2 remaining wand clusters"
>Pamico says, "Ooooo There is something on my wish list"
>Gloomthryn asks, "whats the alteration one going to do?"
>Mathuna says, "sort of Goomthryn."
>Wanderstar grins.
>Gloomthryn grins.
>Elliara says, "Hopefully they will be refillable."
>Mathuna says, "the healing wands are interesting."
>Wanderstar beams!
>Apollonius says, "Oh great. Wave the wrong wand, instead of healing, you just blew your head off."
>Arakne mutters I just can't wait.
>Pamico says, "Since we can carve wands from wood and scarabs from gems Would it be possible to carve wands and rods from gems please I am so sick of looking at these wooden things"
>Mathuna says, "and thats all I'll say on them until they are fully approved."
>Mathuna grins.
>Gloomthryn chuckles.
>Mathuna grins at Apollonius.
>Pamico gazes hopefully at Mathuna.
>Apollonius grins at Mathuna.
>Mathuna says, "no one ever promised you alchemy would be safe Apollonius."
>Wanderstar says, "well"
>Apollonius nods to Mathuna.
>Wanderstar says, "healing wanda wont be wood;/"
Gloomthryn says, "good"
>Wanderstar says, "neither will alteration wands"
>Apollonius says, "It's a cruel world out there."
>Wanderstar hums!
>Elliara removes a ruby tinted glass wand from her canvas backpack.
>Elliara says, "I want the new wands to be refillable"
>'it isnt as bad as that priest thing where if they die so does everyone and everything around themYou say, "it isnt as bad as that priest thing where if they die so does everyone and everything around them"
>Mathuna grins.
>Heartsong mutters about being glad she's a 'teller.
>Mathuna says, "those where a special case."
>Apollonius cackles!
>Gloomthryn says, "maybe metal"
>Pamico asks, "Or at least make stone rods buyable?"
>Apollonius exclaims, "Apocalypse Now!!"
>Pamico asks, "Or metal ones?"

>Gloomthryn says, "then we can transmut them into more effective versions and make the metal change"
>Elliara tosses aside her wand.
>Goldenmane mutters Shun the alchemists.
>Wanderstar says, "everyone loves alchemists"
>Wanderstar hums!
>Cindi comes out of hiding.
>Mathuna says, "oh, fair warning, at some point I'm going to get the formula for batching fixed right."
>Astraea laughs!
>sigh wistMathuna says, "its not right now."
You gaze off into the distance and let out a wistful sigh.
Mathuna mutters something under his breath.
>Goldenmane says, "Not if they will blow up everyone in a five block area."
>Apollonius asks, "Bernaise sauce anyone?"
>Apollonius grins.
Mathuna says, "its still to generous to the maker."
>Mathuna says, "but there will be lots of warning when that one gets fixed."
>Astraea says, "Like see if a alchemist is hunting wolves and their new want fails it could kill everyone else in the wolf area. "

>Astraea beams!
>Apollonius grins at Astraea.
>Gloomthryn says, "well with the death cost, don't get to carried away"

>Astraea says, "But mathuna wont let me do that I dont think."
>Elliara asks, "Will all wands eventually be able to be pulled and made stronger?"
>Astraea winks.
>Wanderstar says, "well we didnt say it would kill alchemists"

>Mathuna says, "No Astraea, I won't let you do that."
>Mathuna grins.
>Grindan glances at Wanderstar.
>Koronis says, "I certainly hope not"
>Goldenmane asks, "Will we know who the culprit is so we can really kill him?"
>Koronis says, "Alchemists or anyone else except critters"
>Gloomthryn says, "okay"
>Mathuna says, "Just like I wont let Wanderstar make some of his ideas either."

>Bowhuntress hugs Apollonius.
>Pamico asks, "So what are the biggest problems we should be looking for with new combat and our current fighting styles till reallocation?"
>Apollonius hugs Bowhuntress.
>Wanderstar says, "oks enough evil thoughts for now"
>Apollonius gives Bowhuntress a lingering kiss.
Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
>Bowhuntress gives Apollonius a lingering kiss.

>Apollonius gently strokes Bowhuntress's hair.
Pamico asks, "Unless the draught fixes will be in place before new combat?"
>Gloomthryn says, "sorry, i'm just naturally gloomy"
Pamico says, "So then we are working with the detriment in current combat"
>Grindan glances at Gloomthryn.
>Astraea says, "I suspect though critter warstaffs probably wouldnt be rechargable or ready to crumble after limited uses. I know its terrible but we try not to have the critters drop super expensive stuff every time you get em."
>Elliara says, "That is fine, just to use their warstaff in revenge for awhile is satisfaction enough for me."
>Gloomthryn says, "maybe they would have copper warstaffs"
>Gloomthryn says, "can't hold up as well as the steel ones under all that pressure"
>Anaxamander says, "or maybe it could be a natural weapon...like the breath explosive breath."
>Anaxamander says, "Then they'd drop nothing."
>Pamico says, "Garlic breath"
>Pamico snickers.
>Anaxamander nods to Pamico.
>Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
>Elliara says, "I just want to trade this in for a lighter model, that's why I am waiting for the next auction."
>With a loud purr a gauntlet on Elliara transforms into a a blaze of whirling plates and spikes becoming the much larger form of a full size warhand as it settles down.
Elliara removes her dragon's breath warhand.
>Gloomthryn mutters thats probrably how it will end up, they drop nothing, and i get poorer just for being there
>Elliara mutters cursed heavy bronze thing
>poke glooYou poke Gloomthryn in the ribs.
>Elliara puts a heavy bronze dragon's breath warhand in a sweeping etched leather cape.
>Zacariah asks, "So combat is getting harder, what's changing apart from draughts to balance is out in the hunting field?"
>Wanderstar says, "hmm cursed evil warstaff of doom"
>Wanderstar cackles!
>Zacariah says, "us out even."
>Wanderstar laughs quietly to himself, an odd gleam in his eye.
>grin wandYou grin at Wanderstar.
>Malicebane stands up.
>Foot Soldier Malicebane just went out.

>Astraea says, "Combat isn't getting harder. Combat is getting better. "
>Apprentice Cazzy went through a wide archway.
>Pamico asks, "So what are the biggest problems we should be looking for with new combat and our current fighting styles till reallocation?"
>Apprentice Cazzy came through a wide archway.
>Apprentice Cazzy just went out.
>Wanderstar says, "not many realy"

>Gloomthryn nods to you.
>Pamico says, "But under the current system utilizing wands that is taken care of by Hesita"
Wanderstar says, "you may wish to carry those nice hidie vials"
>Mathuna removes a heavy steel dragon's breath warstaff from his belt pouch.
>With a deranged cackle Mathuna points his warstaff at the ground and fires!
With a loud *WEEEEEEE!* Mathuna soars into the air in a blaze of flailing limbs.
Somehow Mathuna manages to control the crash landing and stay standing.
>Mathuna puts a heavy steel dragon's breath warstaff in a small fox skin pouch with the tail still attached.
Wanderstar says, "and be ready to do that more often"
>Wanderstar points at Mathuna.
>Arakne mutters I really want one of those.
>Mathuna chuckles.
>Gloomthryn says, "hestia probrably wont work against things that get behind me, and some rogue in tiamat will probrably rob me before i get back to town"
>Elliara says, "I carry vials of dischord and hiding vials."

>Zacariah dashes a smoky vial against the floor!
It shatters at his feet. A thick cloud fills the air, making it hard to see.
>Pamico asks, "Is Discord becoming more effective as a hunting partner? and will we be able to direct her position or will she still have a friggen mind of her own?"
>Mikial says, "i bet these forums are allways a bang"
>Mikial sits down.
Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
>Elliara coughs.
>The fog thins and clears away.
>Mathuna says, "actually, I've been thinking on that."
>Mathuna grins at Pamico.
>Pamico chuckles at Mathuna.
Mathuna says, "some of the formula will benefit from the change to engagement."
>Healer Starhawk came through a wide archway.
>Starhawk sits down.
>Mathuna says, "right now we have two states. Engaged, not engaged."
>Elliara nods.
>Pamico asks, "Is there going to be a pole range?"
>Mathuna says, "and Discord mearly finds the first target in the room."
>Pamico asks, "And are stances going to be included in the wizard?"
>Mikial stands up.
>Mikial just went out.
Jacqueline peers out.
>Mathuna says, "not pole range, but there is a period between it advancing and it reaching you."
>Pamico says, "Pole range in the other worlds "
>Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
Mathuna says, "I'm not certain of the status of the wizard right now."
>Astraea says, "Maybe sometime but not initially."
>Doron asks, "does that mean we wont get smacked as soon as we walk in anymore?"
>Gloomthryn asks, "can i really turn into a five foot tall bunny some time in the future?"
>Pamico asks, "Since stances will be effective somewhat will some of the alchemy tools be based on current stance?"
>Mathuna says, "correct Doron."
Mathuna says, "its a good Idea Pamico."
>Mathuna says, "I would also like to see some depend on Range. Ie, are you engaged with the target or not."
>Gloomthryn nods.
>You hear the voice of Zacariah ask, "So will be hidden in the cloud of smoke make it easier to retreat from combat?"
>Anaxamander asks, "Will we be able to keep the critter from engaging us...and use are ranged weapons on them?"
>Mathuna says, "yes Zacariah."
>Mathuna says, "you can, but remember some will know ranged tactics as well."
Astraea says, "usually enaged couples fight more viciously than those that are not."
>Astraea nods.
>Anaxamander chuckles.
>Astraea says, "or was that enraged."
Astraea furrows her brow.
>Gloomthryn asks, "does that mean some creatures will avoid entering melee?"
>Arakne peers quizzically at Astraea.
>Astraea nods to Gloomthryn.
>Gloomthryn grins.
>A mime walks in carryin a tuba. Fweeeeep! stunned for 15 seconds!
>grinYou grin.
>snicker mimPamico asks, "Will there be some type of changes to Spirt forumulas that will assist us more in combat?"
I could not find what you were referring to.
>Mathuna says, "the will try Gloomthryn."
>Astraea says, "Definently there are plans for arrow firing critters eventually... if a creature had a warstaff... why would he want to engage you when he can sit back and blast you to bits."
>(Gloomthryn gives the mine a sypathitic lok)
>Mathuna says, "I want to eliminate the problem I had when I invaded with robbers armed with bows once."
>Mathuna says, "they clubbed people with the bows."
>Mathuna mutters something under his breath.
>Wanderstar cackles!
>You hear someone chuckling.
>Apollonius chuckles.
>Astraea grins.
>Arakne grins at Mathuna.
>Doron grins.
>Goldenmane's claws retract back into their normal finger shapes.
Gloomthryn chuckles.
Apollonius says, "Hasan chop."
>You hear the voice of Zacariah ask, "Guess they don't know one end of a bow from another huh?"
>Pamico asks, "So in otherwords Four winds will be a more effective forumula?"
>Mathuna says, "yes."
>Gloomthryn says, "they sound like alchemists"
>Mathuna says, "any formula that enhances or limits things will be more valuable."
>Pamico asks, "What about the spirits is their application going to be changed to make them a more usefull tool in combat?"
>A crier belts out from somewhere nearby, "Mentor Cindi of the Warrior profession is available to answer questions for new heroes and heroines! Cindi can be found in Athens NW Quad at the Sweet Oblivi Inn Sitting Room. To get there, go to the northwest quadrant of Athens and use DIR INN, then GO INN, and move EAST."
Mathuna says, "anything that can modify your stats is valuable to have."
>Pamico says, "Right but it also does damage"
Mathuna nods.
>Arakne asks, "toasted?"
>Pamico says, "Meaning not a really effective combat tool"
>Arakne shudders.
Arakne asks, "new trap?"
>Arakne peers quizzically at Astraea.
>Pamico says, "Unless you have the time between getting your butt kicked to cut yourself pour it on you and drink an elixer all before you die"
>Mathuna grins at Arakne.
>Wanderstar says, "you should try using things like that before combat starts"
>Wanderstar coughs.
>Doron says, "but they don't last long enough for that"
>Astraea nods.
Astraea says, "I think it is."
>Mathuna says, "well durations can always be modified."
>Pamico says, "Yeah but only to have them end maybe 20 mintues out of the gate possibly 30 in the middle of a swarm"
>Apollonius gently strokes Bowhuntress's hair.
>Gloomthryn mutters if i cound grind a few gems i might try
>Starhawk just left.
>Pamico says, "And then not in conjunction with certain draughts"
>Pamico says, "So you are back to sqare one"
>Pamico says, "Err square"
Starhawk just arrived.
Mathuna says, "generally stat enhancers should not work together on the same stat."
Wanderstar coughs.
Wanderstar says, "we wont kill you all"
>grin wandYou grin at Wanderstar.
>Wanderstar says, "least not all at the same time"
>Doron grins.
>Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
>Wanderstar says, "have some faith in us have we ever steered you wrong... more than 40 times..."
>Wanderstar hums!
>Doron removes a tiny walnut helix from his satin large sack.
Pamico says, "So what is the difference between getting hopped up on Hermes and Athena and then drinking a skin potion being pretty much invincible compared to using hestia and a rod or wand"
>Mathuna leans over and whispers to Wanderstar, "wasn't that 50 times?"
>Wanderstar flails his arms about.
>Doron asks, "will this be changed anymore?"
>Goldenmane says, "Just hope you suspend death penalties for a time when this whole thing starts."
>Doron points at a tiny walnut helix.
Pamico says, "There are two more wand forms coming out "
>Doron says, "its annoying"
>Anaxamander stands up.
>Anaxamander just went out.
>Pamico says, "That they are working on"
>Doron puts a tiny walnut helix in a black satin large sack.
>Gloomthryn asks, "how much of a roll are stats going to play in wands and wand like devices?"
>Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
>Wanderstar says, "each wand is different"
>Wanderstar says, "some very much so"
>Goldenmane removes a brass swan figurine from her ivory velvet backpack.
>Goldenmane puts a brass swan figurine in a large ivory velvet backpack with a golden owl clasp.
>Sid wanders over to the memorabilia wall and straightens the frames before going back to the bar.
>lean hearYou lean on Heartsong.
>Wanderstar says, "but I still look at the average alchemist when seeing what should count"
Heartsong smiles at you.
>grin hearYou grin at Heartsong.
Wanderstar says, "I wont require 500 coord when no alchemist has that"
>Pamico asks, "Average alchemist being?"
>Apollonius gently strokes Bowhuntress's hair.
>You hear the voice of Zacariah ask, "How exactly do you judge an "average" alchemist?"
>Wanderstar says, "easy"
>Elliara asks, "What about a fortuneteller, to reveal hidden stats like luck and appearance... something like ten dinarii per stat or something...?"
'average alchemist only blow themselves up 50% off the time>You say, "average alchemist only blow themselves up 50% off the time"
>Wanderstar says, "I look around and see"
>Apollonius says, "Take Turbanhead, chop him up fine, and mix with distilled water."
Gloomthryn asks, "what i meant, is will the effectivness be skill based or level based?"
>Elliara says, "Sorry just came to mind."
> * BOOM *
Smoke pours in obsuring everything, as it clears a clump of wild-eyed alchemists is revealed. They look around for a moment then spotting Mathuna leap upon him. Quickly they wrap him in vines then one of them throws a vial on the ground and smoke pours forth. When it clears Gamemaster Mathuna and the alchemists are gone.
>Wanderstar says, "all wands have a massive level base in them"
>Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
>Wanderstar says, "and a skill base as well"
Apollonius chuckles.
>Wanderstar says, "that way if you overhunt you die"
>Wanderstar says, "but as long as you hunt near your level and train well you will do well"
>Pamico says, "I got to be honest I am not seeing the damage tweaks to the rods"
>Pamico says, "I am doing what I did before the change"
>Wanderstar says, "with different wands needing different levels and types of training"
>Pamico asks, "Should we have noticed a difference?"
>Wanderstar says, "not if your underhunting;/"
>Pamico says, "Nope not underhunting"
>Arakne asks, "are we going to get any guidance on what kind of training will be needed for the path we choose to follow?"
>Pamico says, "Hunting within my range"
>Wanderstar says, "then most likely your skill is making up the difference"
>Pamico says, "Ahh"
>Wanderstar says, "the rod is easy to use"
>You hear someone grumbling.
>There is a loud *THUMP* as something falls to the floor. When you turn around Mathuna is slowly standing up dusting himself off slowly.
>Wanderstar says, "ah there he comes"
Foot Soldier Malicebane just arrived.
>Malicebane sits down.
>Apollonius gently strokes Bowhuntress's hair.
>Goldenmane stands up.
>Sage Goldenmane just went out.
>Apollonius snuggles up close to Bowhuntress laying his head on her shoulder.
Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
>(Bowhuntress knocks gently on Apollonius' helm.)
>Apollonius chuckles.
>Apollonius removes his bronze helm.
>Wanderstar says, "I made the rods so that even a weakly trained alchemist would be.. ok with them"
>Apollonius puts a bronze helm in a billowing midnight blue cloak.
Bowhuntress smiles.
>Apollonius cuddles up next to Bowhuntress.
>Bowhuntress runs her fingers through Apollonius's hair.
>Pamico says, "What is considered a weakly trained alchemist"
>Gloomthryn says, "personally i think the wands and warstaffs are a little to restrictive, i would thing we should be able to hunt critters that are dangerous with them without killing ourselves"
Arakne says, "that's what poisoned weapons are for."
>Doron says, "well thats what dangerous means"
>Doron grins.
>Astraea ponders.
>Wanderstar says, "well my target was so that even if you wrere a poor god choice who didnt train all that great you could hit something"
>Gloomthryn says, "i wouldnn't mind if i was killed by the critter"
>Pamico asks, "All that great meaning?"
>Arakne says, "Those of us that did choose such a god do seem to be at a slight disadvantage"
Wanderstar says, "well say great is all 30 points"
>Pamico nods.
>Wanderstar says, "no all that great is 15-20"
Pamico chuckles.
>Gloomthryn says, "and actually, rods are good, the warstaff is down right dangerous"
>Elliara asks, "Are Gods going to be made merely an RP choice or are they going to aid in skills?"
>Pamico says, "Now there is a question I want to ask"
>Arakne nods to Pamico.
>Mathuna says, "They will be primarily an RP choice."
>Arakne beams at Mathuna!
>Doron mumbles something under his breath.
>Mathuna says, "you will no longer gain benefits in training from them."
>Astraea says, "The original game concept was to not force you to train 3 ranks on top of your 3 ranks per level... but rather tha 3 ranks per level ought to be normal. Of course no one did that which forces escalation of skill requirements for various functions. In this case not that great of training means that you might not have maxxed out the particular skill or picked the perfect god."
>You hear the voice of Zacariah exclaim, "Thank Demeter!"
>Grindan says, "now in Greek please Astraea"
>Wanderstar says, "we screwed up and intend to fix it "
Gloomthryn asks, "could there be some other type of benifit?"
>Astraea says, "that means that Wanderstar took into account normal skill versus superskill."
>Elliara asks, "So where are you expecting us to make up all of the missed points gained from our god choice, are you going to raise the amount of skill points per level or are we just getting training points and class gains?"
>Grindan grins.
>Pamico asks, "With reallocation and the useage or warstaffs and hands What is to stop someone from cranking on explosives and becoming a god with the powders?"
>Wanderstar nods to Astraea.
>Wanderstar asks, "the fact that when they backfire there arse will be in 500 charred bits?"
>Wanderstar coughs.
>Pamico says, "Not a real big deterent since they can get stone skin from another who has trained in it"
>Heartsong says, "I'm sure there will be some sort of cap to stop people from super-training one skill."
>'how much warning will we have for reallocation?You ask, "how much warning will we have for reallocation?"
>Pamico says, "Unless you are making that skill based as well"
>Astraea says, "Now god skills will be taken out at the time of reallocation so that you wont find your training lacking in anything."
>Pamico says, "For useage"
>Astraea says, "You will have lots of warning for reallocation."
>Mathuna nods to Astraea.
>nod astrYou nod to Astraea.
>Bowhuntress asks, "guess I shouldn't ask when?"
>Mathuna looks over at Bowhuntress and shakes his head.
>Elliara says, "You still haven't answered my question..."
>'good i dont want to come in one day and boom have to reallocate without proper planningYou say, "good i dont want to come in one day and boom have to reallocate without proper planning"
>Arakne grins at you.
>Arakne nods to Elliara.
>Wanderstar says, "then ask it again please"
>Mathuna says, "The exact details are not available for release yet Elliara."
>Gloomthryn says, "i'll probrably miss reallocation"
>Gloomthryn sighs.
>Apollonius gently strokes Bowhuntress's hair.
Elliara says, "Hmmm..."
>Astraea says, "The gods wont be taken out until reallocation. AT reallocation all skill points for everyone will be set up correctly, there will be no missing skill points."
>Mathuna says, "as with the last one, you won't be able to miss it."
>Cindi just arrived.
>Cindi sits down.
>Cindi whispers, "There. Welcomed everyone."
>Gloomthryn says, "oh, i was just being gloomy"
>Arakne asks, "unless you are gone from Greece for a real longtime?"
>Apprentice Cazzy just arrived.
>Wanderstar says, "we arnt all evil meanies "
>Apprentice Cazzy went through a wide archway.
>grin cinYou grin at Cindi.
>Apprentice Cazzy came through a wide archway.
>Bowhuntress ponders.
>Astraea asks, "I think that was sort of Elliara's question?"
>Cazzy says, "oOo i heard evil meanies.."
Cazzy grins.
>Cazzy leans against a wide archway and slowly sinks down to the floor.
>Astraea says, "ER answered it I hope."
>Elliara says, "When we reallocate do we lose what was in our mules aND THINGS."
>Bowhuntress asks, "i have no god now... So there will be no change?"
>Pamico asks, "So should we expect this before con so we can chew on your leg there?"
>Wanderstar says, "no"
>Pamico grins.
>Gloomthryn says, "note, he said they aren't ALL evil meanies, he didn't say he wasn't one"
>Pamico says, "Or at least pack the silly string"
Pamico chuckles at Mathuna.
>Mathuna says, "actually Bowhuntress you will benefit from it."
>Mathuna grins.
>Cazzy stands up.
>Apprentice Cazzy just went out.
>Bowhuntress asks, "how so?"
>Elliara asks, "Okay, so all my mule is carrying stays mine?"
>Wanderstar points at Gloomthryn.
>Pickoer just arrived.
Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
>Bowhuntress asks, "i'm used to the hit?"
>Bowhuntress chuckles.
>Wanderstar says, "hes learning"
>Mathuna says, "right now you get a tiny bonus to all skills."
>Bowhuntress nods.
>Bowhuntress says, "yes"
>Astraea says, "No your gear and stuff will still be the same. When you reallocate you keep your current level... so you lose no experience. You will just be able to redistrubite your skills in accordance to a revised skill system. OF which we are not prepared to discuss further "
>Mathuna says, "with reallocation, you control how your skills are bought."
>Bowhuntress says, "well look me up when the time comes and give me a hand with it"
>Bowhuntress smiles at Mathuna.
>Gloomthryn grins.
>Mathuna chuckles.
>Pickoer just went out.
>Pamico says, "Where some of us get some bonuses that we dont even really think about"
>Elliara says, "Thank you that answers my question completely"
>Pamico says, "So you are more ahead of the game so to speak cause we will have to think about it now"
Pamico chuckles at Bowhuntress.
Astraea says, "but ideally after reallocation we would love to make an on going benefit and interaction from the gods that produce small bonuses... (rather than a third of your skill in something)"
Pamico just left.
Pamico just arrived.
Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
>Astraea asks, "ick?"
>Wanderstar says, "eew wow um "
>Bowhuntress smiles.
Wanderstar coughs.
Apollonius says, "Errr bad."
Apollonius snuggles up close to Bowhuntress laying his head on her shoulder.
Bowhuntress says, "not choosing was kinda a goof"
Cindi snickers at Bowhuntress.
Bowhuntress says, "didn't know enough at the time to fix it"
Astraea says, "well not from a role play standpoint it ought not have been."
Astraea smiles at Bowhuntress.
Astraea says, "ick"
Pamico says, "So what you are saying Bow not having a god will have an advantage of the new system because some of us are not noticing the actual bonus we are getting as we age"
Arakne rummages around in her pockets.
Bowhuntress just left.
Wanderstar asks, "so while they wonder what the heck just did that...any complaints?"
Bowhuntress just arrived.
Wanderstar says, "eew ick lag"

Cindi asks, "Someone tripped over the T1 again?"
>Pamico grumbles.
>Apollonius snuggles up close to Bowhuntress laying his head on her shoulder.
>Bowhuntress asks, "how many will make it to hades on that one?"
>Apollonius gently strokes Bowhuntress's hair.
>Gloomthryn asks, "can we have a big hunt and kill that fog monster once and for all?"
Astraea grins.
>Wanderstar hums!
>Wanderstar says, "I didnt do it"
>Doron says, "he's even too powerfull for gods"

Bowhuntress rubs a socra stone.
Bowhuntress stares off into space looking astonished.
>Astraea curtsies.
>Apollonius gently strokes Bowhuntress's hair.
>Gloomthryn nods to Wanderstar.

[Athens, Peiraic Gate]
Near the gate, a bubbling fountain in a recess of the wall provides refreshment to travelers entering or leaving the city. Heavily laden mules plod toward the commercial areas while a number of folk on foot head north and south on Apeiros Circle. You also see a smooth rock, a well, the Peiraic Gate with an engraved brass placard upon it and a brightly painted bar.
Also here: Silverdragon who is sitting and Viper Pickoer who is sitting.
Obvious paths: north, east, south.
