| 8/21/2000 | Wagon Update |
|
At about 12:30 Elven the polished wooden wagon I hae reported on earlier,
has now made it alittle east of the north gates of the landing. I believe
it has traveled as far as it will go. People again were knocking and
pounded on the wagon to my dismay. I again tried to comfort the wagon and
asked everyone to quiet down. The lady inside made another appearance
though again it was hard to get a good look at her. She asked everyone to
quiet down so that she may rest and closed the shutters on the wagon again.
I beleive whatever her purpose is, we shall find out tomorrow.

| 8/17/2000 | Wagons West! |
|
Well first off, I'd like to state, that yes I am sane. Yesterday, at about
midnight, I heard a report of a polished wooden wagon near the AI. I went
to check it out, because I had seen a similiar wagon to the one describe
near Tree Spirits. My brother and I proceeded to head towards the AI and we
found the wagon. Sure enough, it was the same wagon I had seen near tree
spirits. It had moved a good distance in one day. Needless to say, a good
size crowd started gathering around the wagon, knocking on it and trying to
get it to open. My brother, Shangarr, charged the wagon in an attempt to
bust it open. He shoulder charged for all his worth, and to my amazement,
was able to rock the wagon. He repeated this a couple of times but all he
could do was cause the wagon to rock again. After, he finished the wagon
gave out a groan. It startled most of us, who had heard of a groaning
wagon? I quickly gave the wagon a rub, and apologized for my brother,
letting it no we meaned no harm. The wagon then shifted slighlty towards
me. I then grabbed out my rag and began to give it a rub down, feeling
sorry for the poor thing. Evidently, the wagon was alive, and that did
explain how it was able to move without aid of horses. It seemed content
to remain where it was, and I wasn't sure what else we could do for it.
Shangarr played a song to the wagon with his shawm, it recated a bit to the
music by swaying side to side. After that, a few more people came, and
started to knock on the wagon and make noise. A troll and orc came by and
hence there was a brief scuffle. After making all this noise, sudden a
window opened on the side of a wagon, and a maiden stuck her head out and
informed us we were making too much noise for her to get her rest. We were
all astonished that someone was inside. She then said she was going back
to bed and we better all keep it quiet. After that, we decided to give it
a rest, and let her slept. I gave the wagon one last polishing, which it
again leaned towards me. Hopefully, today perhaps the maiden will be up to
let us in.

| 8/10/2000 | Mother Rat Sighting |
|
At about 3:30am Elven today (Thurs Aug 10) There was a sudden surge of
rats in the catacombs. I just happened to be down there to check on the
newbies when this happened. After the sudden surge of regular rats a
mother rat came into the nexus. It didn't act hostile and it had some
intelligence. It could communicate by shaking his head or nodding,
otherwise it just drooled alot. I went to go get it some cheese which it
drooled at the idea, when I got a thought from my brother that someone was
attacking it. When i made it back to the nexus the mother rat was slain
by a lord who thought it looked different, hence it should die. After he
said this suddenly there was thunder and an earthquake. The lord was then
zapped by a lightning bolt from above. I dropped about 15 pieces of cheese
and begged the gods to take that offering and not anyone's life for the
wrong that had been done. A warm breeze blew through the area and took the
cheese with it. Everything settled down then. It was a very interesting
event and wish i could of found out more of what the mother rat wanted.
On a different note i heard a Troll Warrior or a troll of some sort was sighted in the Thraak Inn trying to communicate, but someone there just slayed it before anything was found out. Just hope people try to interact more afore they go slaing such non-hostile creatures. -Barvel MacCulon |

| 8/4/2000 | Critter Experience Changes... |
|
For creature experience ONLY: If the player who is to receive all (or part) of the
experience contribution is NOT in the same area as the creature is when the
contribution is awarded, that player will receive no experience. Further, if the
player IS in the same area but the room is considered a node or safe, they will
likewise not receive an award.
For instance: Kennesaw hits an ant and it runs off, but another person kills it. Since Kennesaw is in the same area as the ant still, he earns experience. However, if Kennesaw is killed and has to be rescued and taken to Town Square, then he won't earn the experience. |
