For Your Perusal: Reruns

One will find, in this location, brief snips of things that happened in the game, once upon a time. A brief glimpse of something bizarre, words of wisdom that went awry, or something else that just wenty screwy.

The "You" in these, except where noted, are me, Nevrek.

Enjoy, or don't.

Mnar nods.
>
Mnar removes a sturdy fel trunk from in his Dhe'nari scout cloak.
>
You nod.
Mnar drops a sturdy fel trunk.
>
You carefully begin to examine a sturdy fel trunk for traps...

At first glance, the fel trunk appears to be covered with hundreds of tiny metal scales. Closer
examination reveals the "scales" to be razor sharp at the edges and possessing of a downward-facing 
needlelike tip.  However, you should be able to avoid cutting yourself if you are careful.

It looks like a somewhat difficult trap (about -120).

You still have a good enough picture of the trap in your mind, that you could try to disarm it.

Roundtime: 10 sec.

You say, "Don't open it."

Mnar opens a sturdy fel trunk.

   He is stunned!

The trunk's casing is blasted into hundreds of tiny flechettes!

Bits and Pieces of Voraviel (New Year's Eve, 2001)

[Ahhh! Lawn Gnomes!]
An enormous pile of various lawn gnomes rests here, and the room is quite cramped due to all the little buggers just laying about. Each one of them has some sort of cheesy grin on its face and a various gardening tool in its hand. You also see a jar of murky green pondwater, a striped grey garden slug, a glossy brown potato beetle, an angry lawn gnome, an angry lawn gnome and an angry lawn gnome who is lying down.

Fudli the Gnome.

When the smoke dissipates, the symbol appears quite different, and Fudli quickly snatches it up.

> Fudli shrills, "Dis is what you wants?!"

You see Fudli Dudli the Gnome.
He appears to be in his 100's, has lank, oily ebon hair, dark beady eyes, and filthy, soot-covered skin.
He has a long grey beard that nearly reaches his ankles.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a small pink emerald Luukos symbol adorned with pretty hearts and flowers and sporting a big fluffy bunny with cute little pink pearl eyes in his right hand and a knobby gnawed-on staff in his left hand.
He is wearing a raggedy and droopy conical hat, a pair of dusty patched leather breeches, a blue linen shirt covered with a multitude of oily stains, a pair of dirty boots, and a tattered blue cloak stitched with faded yellow stars.
Iahn laughs!

Legs: the spider who traveled with Nevrek for years, before Boggles ate him. The uneaten portion of Legs was laid to rest within FrostAcres.

(Here I am showing off Legs to people on the porch, but he's sleepy and unsociable.)
A small opening in the egg appears and a tiny head sticks out exclaiming "Go away!" before it goes silent again.

(Come on, Legs, just come out and introduce yourself!)

Another opening appears in the egg and a tiny head sticks out, biting Nevrek's thumb! It exclaims, "Leave me alone!" before disappearing back inside.


Damn you, Starsnuffer! part II

You whisper quietly to Starsnuffer, "The world has apparently stopped rotating, and it has been Day for weeks now. No night."

Starsnuffer nods to you.

Starsnuffer whispers, "yes I have been keeping abreast of it"

You whisper quietly to Starsnuffer, "You keeping abreast sounds wrong."

Starsnuffer whispers, "I have three in my pocket right now"

You groan at Starsnuffer.

The First Time I Met Artuero

[Amphitheater]
The faint whisper of the wind through the tall modwir trees surrounding this natural atmosphere drowns out the noise from the festival shops nearby. The ground slopes toward a large flat rock near the center of the clearing, its surface cracked and scorched from numerous fires. Rows of logs set a fair distance back from the central stone provide ample and comfortable seating. You also see a hunk of moldy blue cheese, a golden ash leaf, some haphip root, some haphip root, some haphip root, some haphip root, a slice of raw eel aspic and a pile of burnt wood.
Also here: Artuero
Obvious paths: south.

You see Artuero Bresnahanini the Elf Thief.
He appears to be in his 80's, has short, straight dark brown hair, blue eyes, and fair skin.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a laen falchion in his right hand and a mighty shield in his left hand.
He is wearing some translucent eye-guards, a handsome cloak clasp, a hooded color-shifting cloak, some sturdy fighting leathers, a pair of rugged trousers, and some quicksilver boots.

You give your eyebrow a little workout.

You say, "Hm."

Artuero says, "The cheese is here."

You say, "It is moldy."

Artuero nods.

Artuero waves.

Artuero just went south.

On the Foehn's Promise - Consolation Cloaks

A man stops and looks at a cloak and whines, "Marnie! You paid 950,000 for a cloak like this on the amulet! And here it's going for 100..." He sighs and is dragged off by his eye-rolling wife.

This circular chamber contains a single bench which runs along the wall. No other seat is available, except the floor, in order that everyone may look into the eyes of every other person here.

Sewers = Tres Chic
The amusing part of this is that the chick sashays EVERYWHERE. She's one of those people that reset her Numerical Macros so she'd be sashaying constantly. No sense of moderation. No sense of location. No sense.

[Abandoned Sewer]
The trickle of sludge begins to move a bit faster, as the slope steepens. The small pipes in the walls grow fewer, but no less filthy. You can feel a touch of moving air, perhaps a bit fresher than that which you've grown used to breathing. You also see a giant rat.

Yes, you WISH you were half the rogue Nevrek is!

An Icemule Deputy approaches the bars of the cell and waggles some keys. After spinning them around his finger a few times, he pops them into the lock and swings the door open. He reaches in and grabs you by the arm with an amazingly strong grip! Yanking you out of the cell, he doesn't even give your muscles time to uncramp before he hauls you off to the Constable's office!

The sheriff looks you up and down and scoffs, "Lemme tell you a little something about the way we run things here in Icemule Trace. Some folks git some idea 'bout a "jury of their peers" or some odd thing. Well, you can jest forget about that here. I'm the judge and the jury 'round this town, and I say one thing."

The sheriff shuffles through some papers on his desk, then looks up. "Nevrek stands before me accused of, theft, high crimes against the state, treason, disturbing the peace."

The sheriff slowly turns to you and says, "Not a bad find there, Deputy! I'm tempted to let him freeze up on the glacier, but then we'd have to thaw him back out later when his mother bailed him out. Guilty as charged then! For the crimes specified, the fine shall be 1252250 silver pieces. Your belongings, if any, will be held for an hour, until you come up with the silvers to pay off the fine. If, in that time, you are unable to pay the fine off, your belongings will be traded for mule fodder. You are now free to go. "

The Sheriff hikes up his belt and says, "Looks like we're 'bout done then." With a lopsided sway, he moseys out of the room.

You hear the sounds of a deputy holler from the next room to get back out there and get your belongings before he feeds em to one of the town mules.

**NOTE: You have one hour -REAL TIME- to pay your fine and retrieve your belongings or they will be sold off.**
