[Hero's Welcome]

The air held in by the high ceiling is dim and steamy, soft music with a heavy beat playing in the background.  A large portrait hangs over the autograph-covered counter, portraying two warrior men and a warrior woman standing together.  Heroic souvenirs from all over Greece hang in cases above rows of tables along the crowded walls, the back wall covered with memorabilia of the famous.  You also see Sid, some old thigh length boots, a rotted mahogany coffer, a green curtained doorway, a brightly painted menu and a wide archway.

Also here: Barrett, Dementius who is sitting, GameMaster Nommo who is sitting, Bladesman Graeyson, Onduty GameMaster Quantum who is sitting, Zousa who is sitting, Aricia who is sitting, Guard Malicebane who is sitting, Bladeswoman Mynthia who is sitting, Bladesman Rryan who is sitting, Tyyr, Tkeeri who is sitting, Dancer Phalo who is sitting, Gerett who is sitting, Posidea who is sitting, Sunder who is sitting, Leanna who is sitting and Markswoman Angelia who is sitting.

>Quantum says, "In the short term, I suspect it won't stay in."

 

 Tyyr just arrived.

 

>Quantum grins.

 

>Quantum says, "I'm working on overhauling some parts of weapon bonding right now."

 

>Tyyr says, "fog grimlins realy are a pain in gatherings "

 

>Quantum says, "Particularly in light of the dual natured weapons."

 

>Quantum says, "And I was going to remove the part about knocking them out of combat."

 

>Silvershadow raises his hand.

 

>Quantum says, "Temporarily."

 

>Posidea grins at Quantum.

 

>Quantum says, "Once things have settled down, I will look at adding that again."

 

>Posidea nods to Tkeeri.

 

>Xanthian says, "Ah, good, I'll get some slaughtering in temporarily."

 

>Bowhuntress stands up.

 

>Aricia nods to Malicebane.

 

>Liye stands up.

 

>Fighter Liye just went out.

 

>Hawken hugs Bowhuntress.

 

>Llorien puts a slender black iron longsword with an intricate gold gryphon wrapping around a mother-of-pearl pommel in a dusty black leather weapon harness embroidered with steel grey gryphons.

 

>Gerett says, "Whew, I am soooo tired of backflipping and releaping."

 

>Quantum says, "If it gets to be a problem, I can also reduce the chance of that happening."

 

>Gerett mutters something under his breath.

 

>Aricia grins at Gerett.

 

>Posidea giggles at Gerett.

 

Quantum says, "Okay, after Xanthian we had Sunder."

 

>Angelia holds hands with Hawken.

 

>Heemor says, "you can switch target until it comes back close to you"

 

>Quantum draws attention to Sunder.

 

>Posidea says, "go back to Egypt, there's never enough critters to have to backflip."

 

>Silvershadow nods to Heemor.

 

>Tkeeri makes a shushing noise.

 

>Hawken grins at Angelia.

 

>Sunder asks, "can you give a general explanation on how adrenal skills will work?"

 

>Hawken snuggles up close to Angelia laying his head on her shoulder.

 

>Quantum says, "Sure can."

 

>Quantum says, "Obviously, the big central determining factor will be adrenal skill."

 

>Xanthian gasps!

 

>Xanthian chuckles.

 

>Zephyra grins.

 

>Quantum says, "Warriors have a slight advantage in this skill over everyone else."

 

>Quantum says, "But not as big as you might think."

 

>Quantum says, "Rogues come close."

 

>Quantum says, "There will be different abilities available depending on your level of skill."

 

>Xanthian snuggles up close to Lamira laying his head on her shoulder.

 

>Shadow Lady Bowhuntress just went out.

 

>Lamira just left.

 

Quantum says, "Unless you train in adrenals, you will probably be eligible for some moves around level 25."

 

>Quantum says, "Obviously, race and god play a part in that."

 

>Shanaira just left.

 

Hawken nods to Angelia.

 

>Sunder says, "but not for too long"

 

>Quantum nods to Sunder.

 

>Gahromicus just arrived followed by Claudine.

 

Lamira just arrived.

 

>Quantum says, "Anyhoo, once you have the skill, you have to learn the move."

 

>Claudine sits at Gahromicus's feet.

 

>Gahromicus sits down.

 

>Gahromicus tickles Claudine.

 

>Quantum says, "The only freebie is berserker rage."

 

>Claudine leans on Gahromicus.

 

>Gerett asks, "Ohhh...quests?"

 

>Gerett ducks his head.

 

>Quantum says, "Not quests, actually."

 

>Quantum says, "I had a different idea that looked more amusing."

 

>Quantum says, "You can simply try and adrenal move you want."

 

>Tyyr raises his hand.

 

>Quantum says, "If you don't have the skill to do anything, it fizzles."

 

>Quantum says, "If you are close to the skill, then you attempt to learn it."

 

>Quantum says, "Fail the learning, you get berserker rage instead."

 

>Quantum whistles tunelessly to himself.

 

Quantum says, "Which can be . . . inconvenient."

 

>Rryan blinks.

 

>Lamira grins at Xanthian.

 

>Xanthian says, "Yeah, biting and more offense."

 

>Gerett pouts at Zephyra.

 

>Quantum says, "And less defense."

 

Zephyra gives Gerett a good pinch!

 

>Gerett yelps!

 

>Quantum says, "And . . . irrational behavior."

 

>Gerett mutters something under his breath.

 

>Hawken grins at Zephyra.

 

>Rryan gently strokes Mynthia's hair.

 

>Posidea asks, "are warrior's ever rational?"

 

>Posidea peers quizzically at Quantum.

 

>Quantum says, "You can trigger the skills whenever you want."

 

>Xanthian says, "My defence can't get much work."

 

>Zephyra says, "Posi's asking too many questions."

 

>Aricia grins.

 

>Rryan chortles at Posidea.

 

Posidea whimpers pitifully like a lost puppy.

 

>Aviran nods to Zephyra.

 

>Quantum says, "But you can only use adrenals so much."

 

>Gerett exclaims, "Kill her!"

 

>Gerett gets an impish expression on his face, and lets out a hearty cheer.

 

Llorien tickles Posidea.

 

>Posidea says, "am not"

 

>Quantum says, "Based again on your adrenal skill."

 

>Tyyr raises his hand.

 

>Posidea dissolves into a fit of giggles.

 

>Quantum says, "Attempt to over use them, and you get very very weary."

 

>Gerett mutters I'm trying to shut up...honest.

 

>Posidea nods to Gerett.

 

>Sunder asks, "can you measure your limit?"

 

>Aricia grins at Gerett.

 

>Quantum says, "You will have a verb (I haven't decided what yet), for assessing roughly how much adrenal OOMPH you have left."

 

>Sunder nods.

 

>Llorien grins.

 

>Quantum says, "Maybe I should make it "oomph" ."

 

>Quantum chuckles.

>Quantum says, "Overdose tolerance."

 

>Epoclaen nods to Tkeeri.

>Gahromicus mutters vitality

>Heemor nods to Angelia.

>Posidea nods to Angelia.

>'have ya had yer daily constitution?

Gahromicus rubs his chin thoughtfully.

You ask, "have ya had yer daily constitution?"

>Gahromicus chuckles at you!

>Silvershadow tilts his head toward you.

>Aviran frowns at you.

>Mynthia giggles.

Quantum says, "If anyone hear has ever been in a dangerous situation, and felt that shaky panicky feeling of coming down from adrenaline, you know what I'm talking about."

>Llorien grins at Sunder.

>Quantum says, "Okay, we have Fiannah, Graeyson, and Silvershadow."

>Llorien flails her arms about.

>'Knowing very little about adrenals, can ya ballpark how much adrenal training you will need to at least be able to use it on a beginner level?Quantum says, "Everyone, please remember to keep the actions to a minimum to keep the scroll manageable for everyone."

You ask, "Knowing very little about adrenals, can ya ballpark how much adrenal training you will need to at least be able to use it on a beginner level?"

>Tkeeri grins at Silvershadow.

>Silvershadow points at Tkeeri.

>Silvershadow points at Tkeeri.

>Ogdem hugs Llorien.

lean arc>You lean on Arcrest.

Graeyson asks, "Is this boxed in format of targets front, sides and rear going to improve either before or after new combat arrives?  If I'm holding a blade and attacking target one at melee, why would I a second arriving at ranged suddenly be my target when I can't walk away from the first?"

>Quantum says, "That's more of a combat question really."

>Quantum says, "So I'm not the appropriate person to answer that."

Graeyson nods to Quantum.

>Llorien holds hands with Ogdem.

>Quantum says, "But in general, I believe there's a lot to that system that will only be completed by new combat."

Quantum says, "And that's all I got to say about that."

>Quantum grins.

>Sunder says, "do not specify a target and you will not re-aim your attack to the next critter that walks in"

>Angelia grins at Quantum.

>Quantum nods to Sunder.

>Posidea says, "cause yer probably not facing the one yer attacking and the ranged one probably advanced in front of you."

Quantum says, "These are easy because I don't have to answer them."

>Posidea asks, "can you get him at yer next forum then?"

>Posidea peers quizzically at Quantum.

>Quantum says, "I help them with dirty work, but they call the shots."

>Posidea says, "cause I got a book for him."

>Tyyr peers out.

>Xanthian says, "Umm, her, Posi."

>l[Hero's Welcome]

The air held in by the high ceiling is dim and steamy, soft music with a heavy beat playing in the background.  A large portrait hangs over the autograph-covered counter, portraying two warrior men and a warrior woman standing together.  Heroic souvenirs from all over Greece hang in cases above rows of tables along the crowded walls, the back wall covered with memorabilia of the famous.  You also see Sid, some old thigh length boots, a green curtained doorway, a brightly painted menu and a wide archway.

>Sunder says, "I have something else for him if what I hear is correct"

Posidea says, "I'm bad."

>Quantum says, "Hecuva question."

>Tkeeri raises an eyebrow.

>Quantum says, "I'll probably include stance modifications into the weapon bonding stuffs."

>Tkeeri beams!

>Tyyr stands up.

>Tyyr stretches.

Quantum says, "And Berserker rage will definitely peg your stance at the most offensive and keep it there."

>Quantum grins.

Tyyr cracks his knuckles!

Apollonius grins at Catzronu.

>Gerett says, "Not you."

>Silvershadow grins.

>Quantum says, "However, a lack of a magic defense is logically a feature of our profession."

>Apollonius gently strokes Catzronu's hair.

>Tkeeri says, "alchies still can't use their goodies in the arena it seems"

>Llorien nods to Quantum.

>Tkeeri leans on Posidea.

>Silvershadow grins.

>Posidea says, "wait till they hit ya with boiling blood Xanth."

>Xanthian chuckles.

>Quantum says, "Keep in mind that Adrenals might tip the balance more in the warriors favor as well."

>Democritis shifts his weight around.

>Gerett says, "Blackcloud still manages to promptly wupp my bottom."

>Quantum says, "Hmmm."

>Posidea asks, "what is?"

>Xanthian says, "Though he was holding a harpy..."

>Angelia says, "maybe they could bond with their foot or something"

>Hawken removes a mug of Sweet Oblivi ale from his cotton satchel.

>Angelia looks thoughtfully at Gerett.

Gerett says, "When we parry with it, if we could do like a return thrust."

>Sunder says, "of course Astraea is supposed to have something up her sleeve regarding combat"

>Quantum blinks.

>Quantum says, "Interesting thought."

>Angelia asks, "Don't we already have that? With the slash thing?"

>Quantum ponders.

>Arcrest says, "Parry Strike"

>Gerett says, "No, thats an addition to swing."

>Quantum squints.

>Gerett shakes his head.

>Quantum narrows his eyes.

>Angelia says, "Oh"

>Posidea says, "some of don't."

>Quantum crosses his eyes.

>Salba stands up.

>Salba just went out.

>Zephyra says, "My goodness, give the boy a rat cake and he's full of ideas."

>Gerett glances at Zephyra.

>Zephyra pats Gerett on the shoulder.

>chuckle zephYou chuckle at Zephyra.

>Quantum says, "Hmm, I don't think it's technically possible without a heavy re-write of current combat."

Apollonius chuckles at Zephyra.

>Heemor says, "hey it could work like the arm bar"

>Sunder says, "which is going on"

>Heemor says, "just with weapon"

>Quantum says, "However, I can request features for new combat, and maybe even get them."

>Angelia raises her hand.

>Quantum says, "I'm putting that idea on my "Bug Astraea and Mathuna about this" list."

>Gerett chuckles.

>Angelia says, "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what Gerett is asking for"

>Quantum says, "No promises of course."

>Quantum asks, "Gerett, want to give some examples?"

>Quantum grins.

>Gerett asks, "Have you ever parried with your weapon?"

>Gerett peers quizzically at Angelia.

>Angelia asks, "I don't know. What's parry?"

>Gerett says, "Deflecting an attack."

>Angelia says, "Oh, of course"

>Angelia nods to Gerett.

>Posidea says, "it's automatic like the armbar."

>Sunder says, "blocking an attack with your weapon rather than dodging it"

>Apollonius says, "Intercepting a sword thrust."

Gerett says, "So instead of just parrying, add a little bite to it."

>Gerett nods to Angelia.

Angelia asks, "Like?"

>Angelia tilts her head toward Gerett.

>Gerett says, "Stab em."

>Gerett grins.

Angelia says, "Oh"

>Angelia grins.

Quantum asks, "Riposte?"

>Quantum grins.

>Gerett chuckles.

>Angelia asks, "Like when an animal does it, and they get damaged?"

>Arcrest asks, "But we have that already, dont we?"

>Angelia tilts her head toward Gerett.

Arcrest nods to Angelia.

>Gerett says, "No we dont."

Silvershadow asks, "if your parrying something doesnt that mean your busy parrying it?"

>Angelia rubs her face.

>Gerett says, "At least not that I know of."

>Faile just left.

>Aviran smirks.

>Posidea says, "they only get thrown down at best, not hurt."

>Angelia says, "I know if, say, a bear attacks me and I have a weapon in my hand, the bear takes damage"

>Quantum nods to Angelia.

>Sunder shakes his head.

>'Parrying would be simuliar to going to a defensive stance wouldnt it?You ask, "Parrying would be simuliar to going to a defensive stance wouldnt it?"

>Angelia asks, "Isn't that damage from parry?"

>Quantum says, "Perhaps some more spectacular effects could be arranged for a bonded weapon."

>Quantum says, "But only perhaps."

>Heemor beams at Quantum!

>Quantum says, "And definitely not until new combat."

Posidea grins at Quantum.

>Gerett nods to Quantum.

>Angelia smiles at Quantum.

>Quantum says, "I do like the idea though, it has style."

>Quantum grins at Gerett.

>Gerett says, "Of course, came from me."

>Gerett gets a silly grin on his face.

>appl gerQuantum says, "Posidea has the floor"

>You applaud Gerett!

>Quantum draws attention to Posidea.

>Posidea grins at Quantum.

>Gerett leans on Posidea.

>Posidea says, "okay I said I wasn't gonna bring this up here but it's not the complaint part so it don't count."

>Posidea says, "thanks by the way for your quick response."

>Posidea grins at Quantum.

Posidea asks, "but can ya give the other weapon types their own moves?"

>Arcrest waves.

>Mad Bomber Arcrest just went out.

>Posidea asks, "instead of givin us what onehander and twohanders have?"

>Posidea peers quizzically at Quantum.

>A young artist stands in awe before the memorabilia wall, sketching a quick copy of the handprints.

>Quantum says, "Well, as part of the overhaul I'm talking about for weapon bonding, I'll probably tweak a few things."

>Posidea asks, "you know what I'm talking about right?"

Zelos just left.

>Angelia nods to Quantum.

>Posidea nods to Quantum.

>Quantum says, "One thing, as I posted, is an overhaul for the dual-natured weapons."

>Quantum says, "So when used as melee weapons, they act like bonded melee weapons."

>Posidea nods to Quantum.

Kedalion just arrived.

Posidea asks, "so ranged could have it's own effect?"

>Kedalion waves.

Kedalion waves.

>Kedalion just went out.

Posidea asks, "if you do that, can you make it automatically return to us or we get it back right away?"

>Quantum asks, "Anyone here bonded a crossbow or longbow?"

>Posidea asks, "so we don't lose it?"

>Sunder chuckles.

>Gerett asks, "We have longbows?"

>Gerett blinks.

>Posidea nods to Gerett.

>Angelia asks, "Like a boomerang?"

>Windel pokes a brass-banded longbow.

>Quantum winces.

>Angelia peers quizzically at Posidea.

>Quantum says, "No, I can't."

>Posidea says, "in the southeast quad I think."

>Quantum says, "And I know that for a fact, because I tried."

>Aviran joins Catzronu's group.

Posidea asks, "you can't what?"

>Posidea peers quizzically at Quantum.

>Quantum says, "However, the current combat system doesn't allow it."

>Quantum says, "I can't auto-return your weapon to you."

>Gerett says, "Make it return to your hand"

>Posidea says, "oh."

>Posidea asks, "so what happens if we lose it beyond our abilities?"

>Posidea asks, "like a boot or crash?"

>Silvershadow asks, "anychance those dual wielded weapons could get their own SEPERATE style of effect? based on what it is.. trident, spear, WARHAMMER, hand axe, warhammer, dagger, did I mention warhammer?"

>Quantum says, "Yeah, that would definitely be a problem with valuable thrown weapons."

>Silvershadow ducks his head.

>Posidea nods to Quantum.

>Quantum says, "In that case, you better hope you registered it."

>Angelia grins at Silvershadow.

>nod catYou nod to Catzronu.

>Posidea says, "it was first day we could."

>Posidea nods to Quantum.

>Quantum grins.

>Aviran winks at Catzronu.

>Catzronu nods to Aviran.

>Posidea says, "Ironheart's best work."

>Quantum says, "I honestly don't recommend throwing a bonded weapon."

>Aviran kisses Catzronu on the hand.

>Posidea nods to Quantum.

>Aviran tilts her head toward you.

Quantum says, "Throwing weapons is the weakest category of bonded weapons."

>Quantum says, "And you take risks when you do it."

>nod aviYou nod to Aviran.

>Artist Aviran just went out.

>Quantum says, "Hmm, by my watch, we've been at this an hour and a half."

>Quantum says, "I'd say forum time is up."

>Quantum asks, "Any closing remarks Nommo?"

>Posidea asks, "time to show ya what yer bonding feels like huh?"

Zephyra leans on Nommo.

>Posidea cackles at Quantum!

>Nommo says, "Just glad to be back"

>Posidea removes a coral inlaid silver trident from her doeskin sheath.

>Quantum says, "And we'd better nominate someone to lead us to the arena."
