that... was surprisingly fun:

You come out of hiding.
You pull the string of your confetti popper!
The confetti popper explodes with a bang, causing colorful confetti to spray forth and cover an infested river scavenger from head to toe!

So this just happened. (facepalm) But got to love Bone-White's response. I giggle snorted my drink. Sorry again guys!

20:06:09 [ESP-GRAY - Wild-Strawberry]: Impressive breast.
20:06:29 [ESP-GRAY - Bone-White]: Pardon?
20:06:35 [CHAT - Kelsus]: lol
20:06:39 [CHAT - Kelsus]: beast?
20:07:06 [CHAT - Evelyn]: OMG. Sorry1 :0
20:07:09 [ESP-GRAY - Bone-White]: I take it you've had significant success with a breastplate?

Done!

[ESP-GRAY - Deep-Carmine]: Ack!
[ESP-GRAY - Cinnamon]: Damn it, someone attacked the main one, this one is attackin me.
(Chaos follows)

Any timing of my "bugfix" command with someone attacking the red-nosed caribou was purely coincidental, however, I love the reaction. :-)

Speaking to Saeda, a bored-looking bouncer asks, "What is he on about?"

You fold your arms across your chest.

For screen readers this shows a black t-shirt with the words, "SAVE THE NETHRIM!" all in caps.

[Kiyaani]

For the VI group - his post is a picture of a t-shirt that says "save the nethrim!".

You hand over 720 riln and purchase 4 fauteuil ebonwood chairs, which you put into your sizeable ebon leather rucksack with a silver capped leather cinch.

I'm pretty great.

Yeah.

Just let me shove the tea table in there and I have a portable party! Tea, anyone?

[Zahrah]

An old man who lies fast asleep by the stage suddenly awakes again, this time with a yell of, "MORE WINE!" The finely dressed waiter hears the call but this time chooses to ignore it. Again the old man awakes and yells, "MORE MINE!". The waiter also ignores this. And again the old man yells, "BOAR VINE!" By this time everyone is ignoring him and his wife comes up and drags him away via his loose coat shoulders.

(Hakon's eyes sharpen at the sound of the word "boar," but he loses interest almost immediately after seeing no such creature in the immediate area.)

I literally loled.

Gralkik, the knight in shining armor, arrives to save the day! Fear the mighty spider slayer!

You peer into a web-covered tunnel and see ...
[Complete Darkness]
It's too dark to see anything here!
Obvious exits: unknown

a hairy green-brown spider arrives from the north.

For the record, the next one hit. Is it my fault? It was a very nimble spider!

This made me giggle! <3 Zoe.

You hear the voice of Zoe ask, "Can you attack things with your candle?"

An inky black shade attacks you with its chilling touch!

Marl gazes at you before raising his hand in a rude gesture.

Cute!

Here is Rook. Look at Rook. Rook must cook. Rook needs book. Rook needs book to learn to cook. Rook needs to get a Rook Cook Book.

Hakkon says, "I shall find a different spot to make my hunt. Apologies. If I can I shall send one your way."

Hakkon heads south.

A dirt-covered scavenger comes hurtling in from the south and lands on the ground with a crash!
31 crush damage to the left eye!

Just perfect. Thanks, Hakkon.

The ranger Relyna says, "We've heard that a lot of people have been harvesting skyroot in the wilderness. Head out to the Forgotten Meadow area and see if you can find some to cultivate."

How forgotten can a place be when you're being told to go there to cultivate herbs for the "lot of people" that are frequenting it?

[gralkik]

Chione says, "There was a castle, and in it, there was a great feast and a prince. And a man came and bowed low before the prince, and an eye of the man's was missing. the eye-hole was bleeding."

Zeldryn nods slowly.

Balein nods.

Chione says, "The prince inquired of him, 'What has happened to you?' and the man replied, 'Prince, I am a thief and this night, there was no moon. I went to rob the riln-changer's shop, and I climbed through the window. But because it was dark, I went into the weaver's shop, and ran into the loom. My eye was plucked out.'."

Chione says, "The thief continued, looking up with his remaining eye, 'Prince, I ask for revenge upon the weaver.'."

Zeldryn nods slowly.

Balein nods slowly.

Chione slowly says, "The Prince sent for the weaver and he came, and the Prince said he must lose an eye."

(Zeldryn looks a bit confused, at that, but nods further, listening closely.)

Balein eyes Chione speculatively.

Chione says, "The Weaver laid down in front of the prince and cried, "Prince, what you say is right. But I need both eyes so I can see either side of the loom when I weave. But I have a neighbour- a shoeman- who also has two eyes, and he does not need both of them.'."

Chione says, "So the prince nodded and sent for the cobbler instead, and the cobbler came. And one of his eyes was removed to avenge the Thief."

Chione slowly says, "And so he was avenged."

(Chione goes back to patting her horse as she finishes the strange tale.)

Zeldryn slowly asks, "I.. Don't believe I understand. If the man plainly admitted himself a thief, then why, by all of the names of all of the immortals, was he given vengeance for his own blunder?"

Chione simply says, "Because Life is unfair, and sometimes it is those that do not deserve it that get things undeserved."
Zeldryn rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Balein say, "Ah, yes. Life is most certainly unfair."

Chione rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Speaking to Chione, Zeldryn slowly says, "Interesting words from an interesting lady. That's certainly food for thought."

Chione says, "But I think the story has many meanings even if it is an unpleasant one."

Balein say, "But, that's the element of the game. Knowing it is unfair."

Chione nods to Balein.

Balein ask, "So.. about the feast. What happened to it?"

Chione asks, "The story asks many questions. Why did the Prince listen to the thief? Why did the Weaver seek his neighbour to be hurt? Why did the cobbler not defend himself?"

Speaking to Balein, Chione says, "I am guessing it continued, and that it was not a good one for the cobbler."

Speaking to Chione, Balein say, "Oh, that's simple. The Cobbler had a sole."

(Chione blinks at Balein, before slowly nodding.)

Zeldryn stares at Balein.

Speaking to Balein, Zeldryn asks, "Did.. Did you really?"

(Balein holds his compsure, remaining silent.)

Zeldryn politely says, "A moment."

Chione says, "It is those that do not speak for themselves that are sometimes hurt."

Chione nods.

(Chione seems to have missed the pun, but nods thoughtfully.)

(Zeldryn removes his rucksack, puts his head inside of it, and proceeds to scream a lightly muted scream for about five seconds before putting the bag back on his back without a second word on the matter.)

Zeldryn politely says, "Alright. Fine now."

(Chione glances to Zeldryn with a raised eyebrow.)

Chione concernedly asks, "You are okay?"

(Zeldryn nods easily, looking relaxed.)

Zeldryn plainly says, "That pun was just a bit too much for me, that's all."

Chione rubs her chin thoughtfully.

Balein chuckle at Zeldryn.

Chione confusedly asks, "There was a pun?"

Zeldryn groans.

Zeldryn slowly says, "The.. The cobbler. He.. He had a.. Oh, nevermind."

(Chione nods slowly.)

(Chione reaches over and pats Zeldryn gently on the shoulder.)

Zeldryn sighs dramatically.

Surely, a tale that should sit next to "The Legend of the Frigid Cuirass" in the Annals of All Legendary Stories of Legend and Legendary Yore and Stuff and Things - coming soon to a shady bookseller near you.

I don't know why I am amused by this:

clean pelt
A treated poor rabbit pelt shies away from you and backs away.

It's still sentient!

Yes, it's funny to see the 'haunted pelt' behave like that. Bets are on as to how long this bug will go unsquashed.

[Mirazia]

We have this bet amongst the GM Team. We think a year, because when we go to fix the non-gamebreaking bug, we just start giggling far too much at it becomes impossible. It's almost like the pelt is really haunted and controls us!

That's some pretty scary shiz you guys have to deal with!

I'll stay where it's safer, for example, The Shadgard Mine.
