(where is the questgiver for this? I didn't get the same 'quest complete' message I saw quoted)

Dicene

There are two quests associated with the Slithering Beast. One in Celidon, one in the Blue Knuckles(that's the place's name, right?). Don't remember which is the beast quest and which is the child rescuing quest.

Caelya

The beast quest isn't exclusive to any one org. I won't spoil how to start it because I think that's frowned upon, but there is certainly a mystery to be solved and the perpetrator roams.

I heart talking to @Baasche:

You tell Baasche Krax'ai, "The FINAL BETRAYAL."

You tell Baasche Krax'ai, "INIAR REDEMPTIONING."

Over the roaring of waves, Baasche tells you, "Lol."

Iniar

Rofl.

(Ring): You say, "Aakrin."

(Ring): You say, "I know you love Mage."

(Ring): You say, "But don't love it that much."

(Ring): Aakrin says, "It cannot be helped."

(Ring): Aakrin says, "Mage was my first love."

(Ring): Baasche says, "My first love faked being pregnant."

(Ring): Baasche says, "Second loves are better."

More lol...

(Ring): You say, "How you liking Mage, Salish?"

(Ring): Salish says, "Eh."

(Ring): Baasche says, "Salish, that's the universal response."

(Ring): Baasche says, "Every time we ask that question."

(Ring): Baasche says, "The response starts with "eh"."

(Ring): Salish says, "Well, that's where it ends for me."

Shou

It's been creeping in slowly over time, but I feel like a period of severely reduced playtime has finally arrived. I'll probably browse the forums out of boredom, but I doubt I'll see many of you in game.

It was fun all these years, and I HEART all the people that have made it enjoyable (you know who you are).

Don't hold too many celebration parties.

Aww, I thought someone had forced you to go on a vacation where you have to go outside or something

I heart all of demonic for sacrificing the bulk of their day in the conquest of the egg, and for not giving up despite buggy implementations, poor odds and battle fatigue (I have been logged in for literally 12 hours straight now).

Khizan

Poor odds are relative; your team vastly outnumbers the AM fighting force and you absorbed basically everybody with real skill out of the magick fighting force already.

Your combat team is pretty much the size of the AM/Magick combined team, and you're at least equal in terms of throw weight. It is not like this is a case of the underdog triumphing or anything.

Kabaal

I love how surprised Baasche was today that Eldreth was the only one online in Demonic with a Veil.

Khizan

Eldreth is one of the primary reasons I have a Veil.

Jules

AM for whatever reason doesn't seem to have strong weekend midday turnout, even when we weren't in a bit of a lean time as we seem to be just now, but anyway, deathsight looks impressive .  Also, I hope your egg grows up big and strong and eats you.  And that it can move faster than 5 minutes per room.

I heart being back home! 3 months in Singapore, feels good to pay less than $18 USD for a good beer. No more tiger please

CELIDON NEWS #3497

From: Iniar Nullheart

To  : Everyone

Subj: stormweavers

Dear Celidon,

I write to you about a matter of concern. In recent times while I have been away from this mighty council, I have been approached by several relatively inexperienced people who have sought advice as to choosing a second guild. Their common story has been the absolute lack of interaction with higher ranking individuals within the Stormweavers. Less recently, you may have noted the fact that I was unceremoniously and inexplicably dumped by the leader of Stormweavers from the guild without warning, much less any semblance of interaction.

What the leader of the Stormweavers wishes to do with a lifeless guild is his prerogative.

What is less than ideal is the fact that the Stormweavers, to a degree, represents this council by supposedly being a member of it. I know you are all proud of this Council, who we are and what we stand for. While any guild should be allowed to choose their leadership and their code of conduct, ineffectual or not, no guild of this council should be permitted to continually misrepresent and erode the confidence of younger members in it. Conversations struck up spontaneously in the last month or two have certainly not allayed my suspicions that this guild has been inexorably driving out younger people by being inaccessible, intolerant and incompetent.

Loss of long-serving members of the Stormweavers such as Skye and Glijije, as well as the refusal to look toward the future by ejecting myself and ignoring younger or inexperienced members has leeched the vitality and future of this guild. In and of itself, it is a relatively minor concern, but when the leadership of said guild as a member of this council puts Celidon in a position of weakness by being a reflection of our practices, the only conclusion is that the inclusion of the Stormweavers in Celidon has become a liability.

I urge that the Council consider the forced assimilation of the Stormweavers into either the Silvari or the Hunters, or the immediate ejection of this liability from this council.

It is time to stop the rot, Celidon.

Take action.

I went on Aetolia's forums to try and pull a character creation sheet I remember being there. So I searched for my old character since I know I filled it out.

Five years after quitting there, I am still being mentioned, and it feels like the wasted MUDing years of my youth&young adulthood has at least left an imprint on those who were there to see it.

I'm not sure if I HEART it, actually.
I might be really ashamed.

Random crap.

The ball finally settles down on 27 (black).

Mana Lost: 30

You take 2 ice, bringing the total to 64.

The corpse twitches as you utter the word of power, and a bright blue glow surrounds it momentarily. 

You place two cubes of elemental ice around the corpse, and the magickal light envelops them too. 

When the glow fades, the two cubes of ice have melted, and Zith is standing in front of you, 

returned back to life by the power of raw magick.

You sense that Zith has returned to life.

A chorus of music rises up from the corpse of Jules and you feel a sudden surge of vitality.

A beatific look of bliss appears on Jules's face as her ears begin to harden and turn to pure marble.

 The marble quickly spreads over her face and down her neck, turning her entire form white. After 

her entire body has been completely transformed, a fine skein of thin flame wreathes over the chest 

of the statue, imprinting a short passage onto it.

You have slain Jules.

 A stunning statue of Jules, carved from pure white marble, stands here, eyes closed with an 

expression of absolute bliss upon its face. A fearsome lion prowls around here and greets you with a
