Great PC! 162 Bells, man. Send off to an Agent.

People that run in Upper, often end in Lower, if you get my drift.

I would like to see it more common and a random drop on all quests. Surely after thousands of years it would have disseminated across this section of the UD. Then it could be more readily available to power amusing things. Of course it's value would be diluted but for the best. A+ suggestion.

I am back.

Going to Utah for a week to attend a mass marriage ceremony and hopefully find a wife. I'll be back in a week, with more time to play, as hopefully my wife will take care of my day to day business.

Great PC! Really enjoyed interacting with her. Very reasonable character & courageous.

Looking forward to the next one!

Great PC! I am sorry I did not interact with her more.

Merciless spellguard fun ruiners.

I must be boring but I love pencil pushers.

Once it's scheduled I'll do my best to attend. Hope for rain!

I interacted with this PC across a number of mine - he was a nice mover and shaker that was always up for the next thing. While my future PCs will miss his prescience, I look forward to the next one.

For example: Doing a basic rat quest with just me and a new player. I know the quest OOCly, and I know the boss is a wererat, for which we'll need magic weapon to hurt and defeat it feasibly. As we are approaching this boss, my character might say something like "Something unnatural is causing all these rats to appear. We might need to enchant our weapons to face this threat, so keep that spell/scroll/rod of magic weapon at the ready" (or more likely, "we must be close to the main threat, let's enchant our weapons now, just in case").

I must disagree with this strongly. I remember when I was a new player on an entirely different server and a very talented roleplayer took me under their wing and chided me for meta gaming traps in a low level quest. This sort of reinforcement of good play, at a low level when the consequences were small, helped keep me honest later on.

The best thing a veteran player can do is take a new player under their wing, speak to them OOCly about the server etc, and teach them proper play from the very start.

The nightmares already affect your character - EFU gives PCs 32 starting ability points - but because of the nightmares, you only receive 30. PCs are expected to place these points and RP their stats accordingly.

Ichabod Sykes has kicked the bucket after his brief return. Which is OK by me as playing an SG agent requires a great deal of time to be done properly (which I do not have these days.)

His bio:

Ichabod Sykes was a devout follower of Mask hailing from the lands of Dambrath, a land ruled by females and drow. There he served as a soldier of fortune roaming the Swagdar with his company of rough and tumble mercenaries and turning the various tribes and criminal bands against eachother to keep them from trickling over the border. He attempted to do the same with the various enemies of Sanctuary. If he was successful in this IG, one can only conjecture and I'll say no more for fear of execution by the Spellguard. I do not have any screenshots (though there are some scattered around the forums of him in action) so I will post this excellently formatted dialogue from Valo of one of his first days in the Spellguard:

: ::[  Unauthorised Dunwarren Sending by Perigo Pipes : It is with greatest  hunger and greatest regrets, that I sing to you now on Abala`s Tits. So  Tiny and Small, never to droop or to fall, for they are miniscule, at  best. - ]::
: ::[  Unauthorised Dunwarren Sending by Perigo Pipes : Now few men spy, with  their own eye, the curve of those tiny bug bites, Not even in the baths,  shallow or clear, can they be seen in the depths.  ]::
: ::[  Unauthorised Dunwarren Sending by Perigo Pipes : And those who have  seen it, can scarcely believe it, there are few things that can compare.  Like ants, or gnats, or teenie tiny sacks, this short list is bigger  than her little rack. ]::
: ::[  Unauthorised Dunwarren Sending by Perigo Pipes : Now you remember  before of my first little score, on how I speak with greatest hunger and  regret- and that is because I am abuzz and appaled to find that I want  to squeeze that tiny bitch`s tit. ]::
: ::[  Unauthorised Dunwarren Sending by Perigo Pipes : One can`t quite  explain it, and can barely contain it, it`s enough to make on pitch a  fit. We have the good looks, we have the fine grit, to make any woman to  swoon and to drip. ]::
: ::[ Unauthorised Dunwarren Sending by Perigo Pipes : But that doesn`t matter to the little whore Abala, the tiny-breasted frump. She wants only one thing twixt her nethers, and that is Tyr`s bloody stump!  ]::
: ::[ Unauthorised Dunwarren Sending by Perigo Pipes : *panting*  Wow. I actually felt nervous about that one, folks! Oh, special thanks  to Acacia for the inspiration... and Abala`s freakishly tiny breasts, of  course. ]::
: ::[  Unauthorised Dunwarren Sending by Perigo Pipes : Oh dear, this -is-  emberassing. The force field shut behind me. Guess I`m stuck here. Um.  Lots and lots of gold to anyone who can get me out! Unless you`re an  auxillary or watcher. If you`re either of those, screw you guys! ]:
:: ::[  Unauthorised Dunwarren Sending by Perigo Pipes : Seriously. Um. Lots of  scrap. And gold. Probably. I actually don`t have that much gold, but  I`m sure there`s lots of things here that can help you. I could also  tell you secrets. And stuff. And any scrappers hearin this oughta be  ashamed. You lot know where I am. ]::
: ::[  Unauthorised Dunwarren Sending by Perigo Pipes : I guess while I have  the time I could sing, if you lot really want to. It`s sorta poetic  really. You all have been a captive audience and this here is ]::
: ::[ Unauthorised Dunwarren Sending by Perigo Pipes : Well there`s a joke here, somewhere. ]::
: ::[ City Sending by Sigfried Iglacious : By all the gods. Please no. ]::
: ::[  Unauthorised Dunwarren Sending by Perigo Pipes : [Death] I was killed  by Ichabod Sykes in  Dunwarren - Travelling. (NOT PVP?) ]::
: ::[  DM Shout : The final sending heard was the death rattle of Perigo  Pipes... and the faint sound of burning flesh. Nothing further. ]::

Shoutouts to Abala, Robal, Narvis and all the others that I played with. Good times and I'll catch you on the next one.
