Introduce Yourself / Great to be Back!!
« on: October 30, 2022, 04:23:59 pm »
I would like to thank everyone for all of the warm “welcome backs” in game and Discord. Coming back to Layonara after so many years has been a treat. Sort of like seeing family after a long absence. Looking forward to spending more time in game becoming familiar with the locations, experiencing the changes, and spreading the evil of Corath across the lands once more.

Like it says, a long time +/- 10 years. Just popped in to see what's new, say hello to anyone I knew and maybe dip my toe (not sure even how to redo everything anymore) I have to admit I miss playing Volga.

*Vanderfall dusts the metal shavings off his heavy furnace apron and pens a note*

Krym thank ye for your business in orderin' the platinum full plate.  Our price is 5000 but since you supplied the materials it's cut in half to 2500.  You supplied 6 additional platinum ingots at 100t per fer 600 credit.  Seein' as yer a new customer for our shop in a while I'll give ya 900 trues for new customer discount.  That means you owe 1k trues.

You can put the coin in the chest for orders up front at yer leisure.  Thank ye for yer business.

Doin good...brother and I just came from the rift with some diamonds in hand with our 15 lvl characters.  Might get the 30 lvl dwarves out in the Deep soon.  Your fighter rogue dwarf (name Ket or Kettle?) Would be a good fit.  Good to hear from you!

That would require a database edit, to my knowledge. While I cannot help you with that, I took the liberty and placed a sign right next to the door. I know it is only temporary and I will have to redo it after a server reset, but it is something I can provide for the time being.

Thank you Orth for helping me get back into my original forum profile!  It's good to be connected again and I'm sure it will take me a few day/weeks to re-acclimate to the server, but am looking forward to catching up with what's new on Layonara and old playing companions, as well as making new friends...see you all in game!

Rumour Has It / east to West.. The hard way. Thru the Deep
« on: September 12, 2020, 11:12:12 pm »
 3 adventurers make their way into Krashin from a 4 day journey. Thru the Deep they traveled they say, two highly skilled red bearded dwarves Van and Gumbo and a powerful human by the name of Johnny spin their tales of the many battles they fought with little to show for their hard journey.  They brag about how they did it with little magic lots of ales and skilled use of their brawn and battle planning. 
Entering the Deep in the Great Forest and coming out thru the Spike Mountain where few travel and fewer return to tell their tales of what lies inside this dreaded place.   As they make their way back to Port Hemp they tell their tales at the Inns along the coastal cities.

I find myself with some time on my hands, sitting in a corner of a series of caverns and caves, known as The Deep to most.  Though the light is nearly non-existent here, my reflection on recent events has proven to be most illuminating. 

I have wondered why, in spite of the fact that Fehriel has informed me that my training is complete, I have yet to fully embody what that training is meant to represent.  In contrast, my training as a monk has always been very straightforward, albeit extremely difficult.  In order to progress, there were highly specific milestones and deeds to accomplish.  I was expecting different training from Feh, to be sure, but I assumed that would only be in the specific subject matter of the training.  When he informed me that he had taught me all he could, I assumed that meant my training was complete.  In hindsight, that is not what he meant at all.  His ambiguity was intentional, and the final, most important lessons were for me to figure out on my own.

One such lesson occurred on a recent trip to the Firesteep mountains.  After an arduous journey, our party decided to rest for the night in a house previously occupied by a dwarf of some renown.  His gate was locked, and I tried, without much confidence, to open it for the group.  It seemed to be beyond my capability, so Abi called upon her pixie to perform the task.  My pride was not tarnished, for I am just a fledgling in this type of task, but it still seemed to gnaw at me that night as the party slept.

In the morning, I decided I needed to meditate on these feelings a bit more, and I let the party proceed without me.  Little did I know, the gate was locked behind them as they left.  When I was finally ready to go, I found myself locked in.  I was alone, so I had no one else to turn to.  Either I figured out a way to unlock the gate, or I might have to go into a state of deep meditation until a new party arrived.  Not wanting to be rescued, I searched my mind for anything I had, anything I possessed, which could help me in this endeavor. 

Searching through my bags, I re-discovered a belt I had found years before, which granted the wearer several benefits.  The most important, in this case, was that it helped with the task of picking a lock.  I wore all the jewelry and clothing I could to enhance my manual dexterity, but it still wasn't enough.  Then, I remembered some lockpicks Abi had made for me, after I had mentioned an interest in the ways of the rogue.  I truly thought this lock was beyond me, as I still did not embody what I thought I should to call myself a novice rogue.  Still, I had learned enough, and as I focused my mind on the inner workings of the lock, my fingers took on a life of their own, and I soon heard the tell-tale "snick" as the tumblers fell into place and the gate swung free.  Perhaps I had learned more than I gave myself credit for.

It was nice that I was able to free myself, but I still have wondered if I would be able to step up if called upon in the presence of others.  That question was answered recently in these very caverns.  We made our way to the wind orb, after some very hard-won battles.    After clearing out the guardians of the orb, Feh, who had been pointing out different sneak attack strategies to me over the course of the whole trip, looked over to me and said, "This one is yours, Xiao"

I don't know the last time I have felt so nervous.  I have run into battle against hordes of enemies, the mere thought of which would induce night terrors in the hardiest of men.  My training and self-discipline have rendered me literally immune to spells which target my mind.  Yet, how does one defend themselves against their own inner fears and demons, when faced with the proposition of disappointing all their friends and allies?  I did not want to let them down.  I donned all the same items I had used to open the gate before, but I still could not seem to open the lock.  I looked at the rest of the party, and made my plea.

"I have nearly figured this lock out, but I do not have the means right now to solve it.  Does anyone have anything in their possession which will help me in this endeavor?"  Just as I was about to give up hope, Gumbo tapped me on the hip, and held an odd looking ring in his hand.  Even though it diminished the deftness I was feeling in my fingertips, I suddenly had better insight into the inner workings of this lock.  With a few subtle and inter-connected movements, the lock clicked open, and the party let out a few gasps and cheers, as well as some heavy sighs of relief.  The treasure inside turned out to be rather anti-climactic, but the experience was more than enough reward for me.

I realize now that this new journey will not have the same well-marked milestones and achievements.  Certainly, there will still be progression, but I now see that I have already learned much, and will continue to do so.  A new set of robes or a belt may not accompany my progress, but if I continue to work with the aid of my friends around me, I will be the best rogue I can possibly be.

Hey James,

I don't know what month this will cover, but I pitched in, as well.  Thanks for keeping Layo up.  Hope you start to feel better soon, and work returns quickly.
