I've decided to Start doing a monthly Archery Contest and after the 12th Competition I will put together a Tournament of the champions with a bigger prize there will be twelve seats and you will be able to win more than one seat. This months tournament Will be held the 15th of January at 7:30 PM. All are welcome role players to PvPers and anything in between and outside of it. The contest this time will be held at the Trinsic Archery Range Near Palidan Island. The rules are: 1. Come in clothing no armor and no robes, dresses, Skirts, or tunics and anything of the like. ( If you are confused just wear a shirt and pant) 2. No rings or bracelets. 3. Bows will be supplied to participants and only bows. (arrows may be supplied if you do not have your own)

Almost no one comes to them Saturday isn't big most nights it's just me and James or just me standing there for an hour than closing up shop.

You people and you're all purple I mean I can make the dyes but seriously some of you other people better start bringing me black seeds if you want to the dark purple! So start running the solen quest haha I also except white seeds need those to make lighter colors. I literally have enough venom to make almost 400 fixatives enough to dye the whole legion active and not at least twice the problem is the black seeds so if you want purple armor that's pretty much how you get it Black Seed + Purple Seed + GM Alchemy + Green Thumb.

Katherine will eat your soul if you come back watch out bring your shield.

Well I'm glad Eban didn't decide to shoot as he makes a good meat shield and Julia got back right in time bows do a lot to an unarmored person and taking 2 arrows to the back for 53 and 38 damage didn't help my chances of survival. haha

Um If you schedule it a Monday night starting anytime between 6-9pm that would work. I can also so any time after 12pm on Saturdays, also can do early evening on Sunday preferably near 6pm. Tuesday is my only real weekday I have no classes so I try to catch up on anything that needs to be done then and get a good nights sleep for my Wednesday classes which explains why Monday would work well but I guess I could do Friday for the same reason. Basically I don't pack my schedule that heavily far ahead especially during school months so as of now I have nothing scheduled those weeks and I only know my school schedule and a predictable essay that I will most likely be writing at the time so Monday or Friday night would be best. P.S. Sorry for the long explanation.

I wasn't oblivious I just didn't care and I was taming for you guys.

So calli when you coming back?

THOM USES VISTA!

All the cool people are born in January they are cool because they froze there butts off shortly after being born.

Rotep had gotten to the hall early for what he knew would be an unorganized messy battle. When Dawn and Owain finally got there they wasted no time. Owain Opened a moongate to a maze like corridor with manifestation littered all around and within seconds the pack of dragons descended on them into a fierce battle. Rotep could barely move and could barely see the the manafestations to attack them. He quickly realized his talents would be put to better use preventing damage from being done as he saw the masses of revenants being summoned he readied his left hand with the power to dispel them and his right with the power to heal the wounded and quickly teleported through the crowd he couldn't move through tapping each revenant as he passed and helping up any one who had fallen. He had reached the front lines only to see owain retreating back to what Rotep thought was the front lines. Rotep looked on at a small group who had been fighting ahead and holding off the brute force of the attack among them Sharkeye Pike, Clive Dauthi, and A pirate women he didn't recognize. He decided to go over and try to help although he felt of little use and decided he needed to do something more productive so he put on a kasa he had found and he rode into the mass of manafestations ignoring the spells cast at him and dodging there bodies until he got to the source a red ruby on a pedestal emitting a force field and all three of the shadow lords themselves feeding on the waning life force of the battle. He suddenly got hit in the back as he turned he saw a fiendishly large unseen and after throwing an energy bolt at Nosfentor. He returned to the front lines continuing to heal people and dispelling the evil summoned arms until they got back to the Red Ruby. He had stationed a spot for the injured to come and didn't get to see the shadow lords fall. After they had fallen there was talk back at the castle of the Lord British. Some wanted to keep the crystal others wanted to use it for there own gains. While some wanted it destroyed others wanted it studied. Owain decided it would be best to study it to see what should happen to it and a more permanent solution to it's disposal.

I was talking to James and I got an idea maybe a scavenger hunt.

Well there are like 4 piper characters haha and I wouldn't be opposed to being the riddle giver for a group of people if it is set up in teams I mean after all Rotep has nothing better to do depending on when I have my surgery and class time and book reading and paper writing and general fatigue that is.

Or for the Hera Event we could round up Pipers haha And aneirin can go for the most dangerous game ... Cupcake aka Laurana

I'd actually like to run the archery contest for the fact that I honestly didn't like the system the EM used and I could employ a better one and I want to start doing it every month anyway. As for coming up with event Katherine basically said mine for Hades except It would be a naked dungeon run from the bottom up. Forcing people to get along or die. Ceres- A Drinking contest (if we go by ic context I'd so take paul to start a drunken brawl) Or... A feast followed by some activity maybe a peerless or champion spawn.

Well I Finally found Sutek thanks to James and a map he made me showing me how to get to a place I didn't think existed. After his crazy quest which I suggest being mounted for you get the mechanical life guide. Anyone can get it which means you don't have to take your tinker down just to get it in fact I'd recommend taking a stealther with an ethy. I made a gargoyle which in the classic client looks like a man who needs to get some sun. Making the assembly is one thing then you have to add stuff to it. In the case of the gargoyle pet it is 50 leather and 25 white scales. The original reason James was down near sutek was because he was told that's where you catch a mud puppy for a quest but it turns out you catch them in the other part that is above ground or at least the lighter side. We started fishing and after about 5-10 minutes I caught two mud puppies in quick succession and gave one to James after going to turn it in I got a Fishing Pole that turned my into a green goblin. We continued to fish for at least 10 minutes until James caught a red herring which is used to get a ring that turns you into a gray goblin after he caught one he stuck around for a minute until I got one too. Here is Green. And here is Gray

In the 2d client the cloud is the Sparkles Of Death. And what spiders? wolf spiders? Oh and I think the healer spawner went wacky. Well at least you'd have no problem getting a res unless they started fighting about who gets to do it.

Well I found one last route I hadn't explored and it lead me to an abandon town split in half by a massive crag. It had only one monster in it. The Slasher Of Veils, I though i had read in one of the dev meeting chat logs where they answered question that you shouldn't try to fight the slasher of veils and to be honest the stealther I was using took a half of a minute to kill a green goblin due to lack of hci and dci and was only meant to have insane hp regeneration. After getting the screen shot I had to come back with a gargoyle to see if the crag was crossable in hopes I might find surtek, the only mystery I've heard of that I couldn't find, but it wasn't crossable to my knowledge. I did however come back with my mysticism template that I had done the most exploring on and see if i could at least damage The Slasher which I didn't he completely destroyed the collosus. On my three trips there I saw they added Fairy Dragons which when i clicked them to see if they were tamable I got nothing. I think this ends my exploration Of the Stygian Abyss until it comes out or until some one gives me better information on where surtek may be as I really did want to see the mechanical pets. This is the biggest dungeon yet and I really hope I only scratched the surface as being able to figure it all out in about 8 hours total makes me think something is wrong. Side Note: The Slasher has the same ability that paralyzes you and makes every mana cost 25% more as the crimson dragons did.

I wanted to profile the Abyssal Infernal but unfortunately there isn't much to profile. In fact I can do it in one picture. You see the alter and the two starting creatures, chaos demons and familiars, for anyone who likes to see sights in the world this spawn is not for them it is barren except a bridge that goes over a small half stream of lava that waterfalls into a hole in the ground. (I never thought I'd use waterfalls as a verb.) The is also a rock mountain like thing that is maybe 8x8 tiles with a line you can't cross in between it and the edge of the spawn. Unless this spawn some how actively changes the environment I doubt it is anything but running around killing crap in a big circle. I was far more impressed with the Primeval Lich spawn and it's various sights. When I look at this one and what they could have done I think they just wanted to add another spawn for the hell of it and decided to not put much effort so they could gloat at two more champion spawns instead of one good one. (although there are a few tiles missing in the primeval lich but it does look solid) This will probably end up either a killing field or a place no one goes except the occasional safe spawn. (Well I just read that throughout the spawn there are environment changes in both the new champion spawns some of which you are able to take out of the spawn. I just hope the spawns environment resets each time.)

This will be a long one first I'll point out I had to go in twice so these weren't taken in order that I will be posting but in order of in and out of the spawn to give a general idea how it is set up along with a few comments and things I thought were interesting. These were taken by another character I had made for more pvp related purposes and that could survive longer. This is the Primeval Lich The blood fountain is one of the first things that I thought was interesting. These were kind of odd and I noticed when i was coming back from the first trip because the night sight went wacky and the potion wasn't working so I had to go back for some reagents and a spell book to get a mage night sight which worked a bit better but there were still some total black spots so when i came back I got them For those who didn't notice the grave is the same and each picture is put together Then I went into the crypt which was kind of cool but on the first run through I experienced a lot of problems with the potion night sight that didn't happen with the Mage night sight. I found eight levers I'm not sure if they will serve a purpose or not during the spawn. Then there is the Death Vortex which any one who has gone to ice fiends has seen one but I figured it's a new one and it might actually have a practical purpose at release. Up a bit farther is a shrine which I had to come back for with the mage night sight. Outside the crypt as I have called it you can go south to see the alter. Unfortunately in the beta they didn't bother to make the spawns no housing areas so there are three house by my count placed in the spawn and unfortunately as you can see one was placed here. After I rounded the corner I found something humorous. Evidently the developers didn't feel like tiling the ground. And after getting a mage night sight I was able to see inside the house. That is the Primeval Lich spawn site it is shaped as a U if you are curious.

When I do that it errors on me and it doesn't work either I just think the board hates me. There I started a tinypic account so I could do it so no more bothering kodoz haha. Now time to go on an insane crusade maybe take screenies of the new champ spawns. If I could surtek it would make my day.

Well I was looking to see if I missed anything around the gargoyle Holy City. When I got there I noticed undead gargoyles (not there full name but you get the idea) and I decided to see what i could do about it. I found that Hail Storm was good against them and proceeded to round them up and slaughter them with it. After words I thought it would be a good time to take a picture of it and Nether Cyclone.

Well I went out yet again this time with James after he completed a new suit with high resists lrc and some lmc at my advice. We found out that either you can't sail the Stygian Abyss or the devs don't want us to yet as I kept getting the message " You can not reach the water" even when I was on sand next to it while the water tiles are cracked in some places I saw a boat under it which I'm hoping they will fix. While exploring James found a mountain cliff gargoyles could fly up but it didn't seem to special because with a bit of walking I was there too. We ran into a spawn of Skree which I quickly wanted to tame but wasn't successful with the invis after trying method even with James help. So in a Rube Goldbergesque way only James could pull off he made a hatchet which I then used to cut some wood (with my human automatic 20 in lumber jacking) which he than used to make a flute which I then used to peace the Skree and after about 4-5 trys and a lot of "You have angered the beast" which is funny when you see the picture I got it. I also got one for James which was much better and only took two tries which was kind of ironic. James says they are the dinosaur from Primeval. This is the picture of after the first one. Again if someone could fix this up and thanks Kodoz for last time and James told me they were alpha models and that is the trolls loincloth but I still say it doesn't look like one.

Upon finding out how to get void essences I set out to get a clockwork assembly and a power crystal afterwords only to find I needed to talk to Sutek who I still can't figure out where he is even with all the vague instructions I've received. Only to find they changed what enslaved gargoyles look like. After that I wondered the gargoyles Royal City and only to stumble upon what seemed to be a museum with statues in it and outside of it were statues of four of the five current peerless. Inside I say statues of terathan and a lizard man and there weapon then I went down and saw statues of evidently an ettin an ogre and a troll with there respective weapons after about 2 second I was horrified by the troll the picture will tell it all. I quickly polymorphed into an ogre to see if these were actually the new models for the monster and thankfully they are not. {Kodoz Edit Note: Those are the original UO: Alpha models for the Repond monsters.} If someone could fix that I'd appreciate it but for now it may be for the best as the second one well my writing pretty much says it.
