An interesting development.

Post by Jaster »

The following is an account of a recent experience I had in Tarueka that may bring about some ethical and moral implications:
[Tarueka, River Bank] (WtrPlGrFoMu)
Along this area of the river the bank is now several feet overhead. Soft clay m
ixed with rock shores up the wall of the small cliff.
There is a cloud of fog here. The area is mostly quiet.
The area is flooded with shallow water.
Also here: an infested carrier.
Obvious exits: east (shallow), southwest (shallow).

You leap from hiding and attempt to thwack an infested carrier on the back of th
e neck!
3 crush damage to the neck!
Roundtime: 4 seconds.


dirt
You kick a clod of dirt at an infested carrier! (Off: 875 vs Def: 100)
A direct hit to the face!
An infested carrier draws back, squinting and blinking in an attempt to clear
his eyes.
Roundtime: 3 seconds.


foot
You stomp your foot at an infested carrier! (Off:875 vs Def:100)

You ask, "Why?"

say An interesting development.
You say, "An interesting development."
I would like to hear other peoples thoughts... and has anyone experienced similar incidents? It was my prior understanding that those who are infested are lost and become nothing but the monsters that we have all fought against. This, however, seems to suggest otherwise.
Speaking to Garith, you exclaim, "Ban' baaan'!"
