So is it possible for a player to design a module (guild hall), and if so can it be implemented?
And if so, what are the size specs for module size and any other known issues or specs?
So as to make it turn key or "normal" ready to install.

Large parties with lots of spells going off, caused me a crash...think party was over 10-12 with about four magi's going at it in Grey Peaks.
In the heat of battle things just locked up, havent had that in a long time.
So good ideas, smaller parties, use magic (with the visuals) when needed. We got fire balls and lightening burning up corpses...why??
The map thing i didnt know about...dont need it most of the time..and was told by soemone..it's not good RP to use the maps?
What ever helps.

Tis the the eve of the big house cleaning and i'm literally packing everthing i have on me and my ox. Didn't do much crafting today but tallied how many cougar bags i've made and it came to around 18. Whew! I hope i can sell these things and of course help the guild members with their needs too. Did some adventuring with DAniel and his "brother" Praylor...we cleaned out the undead from the Krandor Crypts and then proceeded to the desert (blood) and back up to the Grey Peaks. There must have been a dozen of us in the group...some folks i dont even know... Except for the very beautiful and talented Tyrian Dallorious. She fights and has spells too..love those fireballs! When we returned to Hlint, we found the area in front of the crypts occupied by a very large Demon...Baylor? He was having a casual chat with some of the local devil worshippers...or so i call them...even sharing drinks with the evil beast from Hell! Some people...they dont undertstand the damage that this kind of evil can cause. Some of us brave souls surrounded the creature and threaten to do it harm...and just as i closed my eyes to do battle...the thing disappeared. Hlint, i thought was safe...now i'm not so sure. The group stood its ground, Praylor, Daniel, some fellow i dont even know and Mylindra and Tyr. There were some three folks that chose to go have a drink with the beast...dont know their names and dont trust em either. Most disturbing to see these kind of things happening right in Hlint! I hate evil and evil spirits...they destroyed my family and now they are running rampant in Hlint! I hate evil...I do...dear Elgon...please forgive me for thinking badly of you....i know you were an honorable man...and i can only hope to follow in your foot steps...I love little Krindo..and dare i say....forgive me but i have feelings for Jenna....i dont understand it...it...it's inside of me...wrestling with my heart. Elgon..what can i do? I should...stay away from her...or no...i have to help her and Krindo...dang! I fear that i will fall in love with Jenna and what would that make me? Elgon please forgive me...i wont betray you or Jenna...never...never..if only i could convince myself! I must get some rest...so tired...killed so many ogres...*smiles to himself* not so bad with a blade Lance...not bad at all...heh! Elgon would be proud, yes indeed...of my swordsmanship but not of my feelings for Jenna...i feel ashamed.... I will be honorable, that is what Elgon would have me do..i will treat Jenna and Krindo as family. Yes....yes....ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz Ha! Ha! Ha! "Family and love, bah!" I will be your love young Merrick and your only love....you'll have no need for family and your skills with me will be unmatched...death will be your calling card...and a road paved with the bodies of my victims and your victories! Elgon was weak and foolish, he deserved death so i could have life...now you will help me continue on, gathering the souls of the weak so i might be strong.....Ha! Ha! Ha! *Lance rolls over in his sleep* *mumbling* be strong....my love...Zzzzzzzzzzz........

Havent been home much, wherever that may be now...i sleep wherever i drop dead tired from gathering and crafting. The guild has been busy cleaning up getting ready for the move, hopefully soon , to Hamp.
i've been practicing the moves that Elgon had taught me and I have been getting better at bashing dowm those honery ogres of Haven. Even tried my sword and shield on some forest giants and gathered some almonds too. Dang! They hit hard...
Made more cougar bags today and gave out some to Jako and Omer. Jako has been very helpful with the acid and oils for workin hides. Dont know if Elgon would appreciate having a tailor in the family, but for now it keeps me busy...especially helping Miss Ferrit.
I need to practice smelting and tinkering a bit more...cant even make arrowheads most times...*hangs head* Elgon was so talented at woodcrafting and making things...*starts to get sad* but he's not here is he? Because he was foolish and stubborn...damn him!
*wipes a small tear from his eyes*
I havent even seen little Krindo...but i did see little Elgon for a bit today...he's going to be some warrior...if Rain will let him.
Hope Jenna is well, gosh, i sure worry about her...and Krindo. She's so pleasant to be around...i..i..guess i kind of miss her? *squints his eyes* I do see what Elgon loved about her...she's very special!
I'm tired, good to be back in a bed...*falls back into bed*.....feels good.
*closes his eyes* Zzzzzzzzz....
*shakings and rumblings from Elgon's chest*
Lance tries to open his tired eyes but falls fast asleep....

enjoyed the last two CDQ's with you, and although you might have felt you weren't there 100% it was very enjoyable and great fun...hope there is a time that you will return...will miss the Penguin and *slautes* the Admiral.
ONe of the best entry and exits of any DM...thanks!

Tis the eve and time for bed...but i must admit...i went about to seek out the Lady Elohanna, or Hanna as she says to me. She is beautiful and graceful as the rising moon or the flowers swaying in a summer breeze. So elegant and kind too...but i must not be off guard..for i represent the best interest of the Angels here. Yes, i must check out her credentials and her smile...oh there i go again...she has no real skills that i can see, *wanders a moment* except she's beautiful...hummm... I made four more cougar bags and a white stag leather armor...and am tired. Daniel is a good bloak and makes venturing fun...we met some fellow...Januk...strange sort...had no melee weapon and not much for a bow either. Ill prepared for battle i'd say, perhaps explains why he was a bit on the ghostie side of life...heh! Daniel helped him out and sold him a bow, or gave him one should i say. Credit. I hope the fellow is honest...Daniel is too nice and trusting sometimes...tis what gives him his charm i suppose. I miss Elgon....so much..how long does it take to get over the loss? Perhaps i'm not too young to seek out a companion? *smiles thinking of Hanna* I got things to do...going to start tinkering again, made some arrows, just the way Elgon showed me how...they are perfect. Dalan seems so distant and busy nowadays, dont get much time with him any more. And Ferrit, well, she's so busy too...guess i'm a little lonely huh? *smiles to himself* *lays back in bed and dreams* From inside of Elgon's crate comes an all too familiar sound of laughter.... Ha! Ha! Ha! i'll be his love and his only love..this Merrick will not get away from me....no not this time.no distractions for him...just murder and mayhem...death and destruction...a warrior to the end....may he live a long and murderous life serving me...The Sword of Death!

Oh my! Jenna gave birth to Elgon's child....a boy, which she named Krindo, after her father. Elgon, you fool...i loved you so much...too bad you're not here to raise your own child. I've been working my crafting very hard and have progressed very well. *smiles proudly* I've been making cougar bags for the guild members. For what i see of them. I suppose a person can immerse themselves into crafting to the point of forgetting about all else. I still miss Elgon...*wipes tear* and want to do his name and memory proud. I hope Jenna will let me help with Krindo, i need some family now more than ever. I've grown another season and can wield a sword of power now, with some kind of electric enchantment on it! I feel stronger than i ever have and am ready to fight with the "big" boys in Dregar! I have a key to Dora's home in Haft lake but i dont get over there much. I thank the gods for the guild family of Angels, but even Angelic families have problems...not sure why Rain and Ferrit fued but it seems to happen more often lately. I hope the Pandorn's dont leave the guild and now we have Jil a new member on board..things are moving fast. I still worry about Jenna and feel responsible for her and Krindo, after all i'm the only Merrick they know! I need to step up to the responsibility for their well being and safety. I'm sure Kyle takes good care of them...but Jenna seems so kind and thoughtful...never selfish. I can see what Elgon loved about her. I got things to do yet, better head for Hlint and make some more cougar bags. *walks over and opens Elgon's old crate* *searches hurriedly for materials* *pushes the sword aside* *glances back at the sword as to admire it's shiny glow* Strange, it seems to be glowing, Elgon's old sword...huh? Must be some enchantment he had put on it...ouch! *looks down to see blood dripping from a fresh cut on his hand* Damn thing! I cut my hand on that old sword? *feels the blade* Seems dull to me...hummmmm? Oh well got things to do. * Slams the crate door shut and leaves* From inside the crate comes an eerie sound of laughter....evil laughter.... Ha! Ha! Ha! Blood of a Merick......ummmmm..tastes oh so familiar and oh so sweet! Should this one become strong enough to wield me properly?...soon i hope...I look forward to bloody battles and the stench of death...oh yes! To be alive again! I can hardly wait!

Oh my God! Now the news of Mercas' death has arrived! What is to become of things and the guild...? Rain and Kyle are strong and will keep us on track but such losses and in the same cave? To much for me too understand....*wipes tears from eyes* The little ones are our hope for the future..they are growing up so strong. I keep to myself most of the time..keeping busy with crafting, and am getting better..by the day! Made a cougar bag and a couple of panther capes and one was exceptional! *smiles proudly* I met up with Sonya and Rain in Prantz, they had the triplets, oh yes, three of em!! And sonya was carrying the boy...the boy named Elgon.....*wipes tears from eyes* Rain has named his youngest son after Elgon! What an honor! I cant even remember the girls names now, i was so taken back by the news. Beautiful children and beautiful names for the girls is all i remember now. So much has happened...... it Elgon!! You left me here...*weeps*....i miss you so much! So many loose ends and so many things left unsaid...Poor Jenna i feel for her so much...it's just not fair to her! I shall be there to help and aid her and Elgon's child. The guild has selected a hall, or so it seems. It's in Port Hampshire, to be named Merrick Hall. I have grown in strength and have gained new skills in fighting, Elgon would be proud! The family protects me, but i get my licks in. *smiles* *stares at the candle* ............is disturbed by a noise in the crate..*walks over and opens the crate of Elgon's*....*looks within to see only Elgon's old sword and nothing else....hummmm......? Oh well...i'm tired, need to rest....*stares at the sword for only a moment and turns, only to be distracted by a bright glare from the sword*...*squinting he draws closer to the open crate* *mutters to himself* Someday i will wield this weapon, when i am worthy enough...until then...*closes the crate* * hears a muffled moan from inside the crate as the top closes* *mutters* squeaky hindges need some oil....another time perhaps..i must rest for now. *sets back down and tries to write* Truly a great warrior master Elgon but all that remains is your rusty old sword...so sorry for you and for your child and poor Jenna too. *lays his head down on the table* Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. In the back ground from inside the crate can be heard a muffled sound....a moaning...no..no...a kind of....laughter? Ha! Ha! Ha! One Merrick is as good as another! I shall live on and conquer more souls...such beautiful evil! Ha! Ha! Ha!
*young Lance Merrick mumbles in his sleep* yes my love, yes.....Zzzzzzzzzzz

So much has happened since Elgon's passing, i can scarcely recall where to begin....except how i miss him...*wipes mist from eyes*
Kyle and Ferrit have a new baby boy, Cole. And the news of Sonya with twins again? yes it's true.
And the news of Jenna pregnant with Elgon's child....i am overwhelmed with excitement and sadness.
Sad that the young "Merrick" will grow up without a father, just as Elgon did...... him!
He touched so many and would have been an excellent father...but he was driven by something i shall never understand. Perhaps as he said, a demon was his nemesis and his release was his own death as he predicted and feared!
Jenna seemed happy but i know she must be hurting inside...without Elgon.
Life goes on and i keep busy with crafting..keeps my mind off of ....things....well...at least for a while!
The Angels have been so good to me....better than my own family. It's eexciting to watch the little ones growing up so fast...Tristan and Sarah are so big now.
Everone is so busy trying to keep up with the work and the empty hole that Elgon left.
Tired for now, bedtime for me.....zzzzzzzzz.

The worst of news has reached my ears. My cousin has been slaughtered in a cave by some giants. Never to return to me or his friends, and poor Jenna....oh dear!
What have the gods allowed to happen? This Soul Mother....being, or what ever she is...how heartless!
And the news of my father, he has also passed away...what weight i have to bear now!
I fear that i cannot go on if it were not for the members of the Guild of Angels...they have all accepted me and assured me of my well being.
But i am hesitant to impose upon these folks...Elgon's new found family.
Rain in particular wants to include me on everything and has offered me a place to stay. I dare not seem ungrateful but i cannot take without earning my share either.
My skills in this land are near worthless although the guild folks have encouraged me greatly. I am working on tailoring, tinkering and some smelting. I've made some arrows and am trying to build a crossbow...
I am confused and frustrated..i suppose i can go back home now since the family and i are back on terms again. But Rain and folks have invited me to stay here and make a life with them?
I dont know if they do this out of obligation to Elgon's memory or some sort of guilt that they might feel? How soon would they tire of me and at some point i would end up leaving anyway?
I really dont have anyone to rely on or anywhere to go. Perhaps i should consider staying here for now anyway, i need a job and shelter?
I will try my best to serve these Angels and perhaps learn something about myself as well.
I just cant help but weep over the loss of Elgon....he was the reason for my coming here in the first place!
Time to grow up and become what Elgon was teaching me to become...a man, a warrior and an honorable person. Sharing the love he had for others and the will to do good towards fellow man.
Perhaps he was an Angel and perhaps he is now an Angel...i hope and pray for his soul.
Time to find a purpose and commit myself to a cause of righteousness, serving others with good will and hope.
Yes why not, i can almost hear Elgon saying those very words!

Anything else i should know to change or modify...first perm death...dont know this info.

« on: October 01, 2006, 05:16:20 pm »
they were not in business together, was referring to forum business and separation of characters. Got LORE figured out but Elgon's portrait is on everything of Lance's.

It's good to be back from Blackford. I had to go and see my father as he is very ill and I returned at families request. Even though he had disowned me, we agreed to forgive each other for our stupidity. Odd how certain death can affect people.
He requested to see Elgon one last time and i am back to find my cousin to see if he has it in his heart to forgive and forget. I only hope that i can find Elgon before my father dies.
I shall seek out Rain since he seems to know about Elgon the most.

I have a certain remorse in these words as Elgon has lived a hazzardous life style, that of a warrior. I know that i have nearly ran out time and soul strands. So it is with a heavy heart that i write a will and testament;
Rain Darsus is the executor of my estate;
Which consists of the following;
* personal armor iron full plate
* three bastard swords all iron
* various rings and amulets
* my militia boots
* my guild coat
these and all else gets dispersed as Rain sees fit.
I put charge of the welfare of Lance Merrick in the hands of RAin Darsus, with Kyle Pandorn as God father.
It is my request that the guild consider Lance Merrick as part of our guild family with benefits to be bestowed as is fitting.
You are his only family now and his well being is in your hands, Kyle, Mercas, Daniel, Dalan, Jako and Rain, please raise him as a man to be what he can be...a warrior or a carpenter but respectful and honorable above all.
Ferrit, Dora and Sonya, give him the nurturing you would your own, teaching him to respect others and to love as well as being loved.
Jenna my love, should this letter ever find purpose, i am sorry for leaving you so soon. I felt that you deserved more than i could give, i hope that you find peace and love and happiness. As you deserve that and more!
May you all find your dreams come true and may true love abound in your hearts. Think of me with smiles and thoughts of those good ole days, of Elgon, head strong, charging into battle as he charged into life..giving it his all even to the end.
Thanks be to you all for the love and life that was Elgon's.
in all sincerity and of sound mind and body
Elgon Merrick

It's so good to be back with Elgon and he's teaching me much of fighting. We practice nearly daily.
I continue to work with my skills but am frustrated with the results. I have accumulated some coin and really want for nothing. Elgon has been generous and kind to me sharing everything.
I need more experience and am trying to find partners to pursue enemies, but have not had much luck.
The guild folk all seem so busy that i dont get time with any of them.
There are so many pretty ladies in Hlint, it gets me distracted...but i dare not be forward with any...as Elgon would surely disapprove.
So for now it's more mining and sand...yuck!

Oh Lord, i've been away from my writings for so long... Too much has passed to catch up.
I've been crafting and the guild seems to be doing well. I've gained much experience in my chosen crafts and I am producing mahogany weapons.
Mahogany...reminds me of my friend Elrend...(RIP), suffered the fate that awaits me at every outing...and i've been pushing my luck as of late.
I am at peace within myself for once in my life. Due to Jenna, the demon being gone, and of course my guild family. All seems so good right now. And of course my friend Lance! He's growing to become quite the warrior. I'm proud of him.
Rain is going through some training to become an arcane archer but he's had one recent episode of an uncontrollable rage..scared Jenna and gave Sonya a terrible scare too. Me, i was scared for Rain...as much as myself...for i would defend myself and the women at all costs...even my own life.
I have become a strong warrior and have learned much in the way of tactics and strategies. But i am not ready to hang up the sword just yet. I like crafting but it is not fulfilling enough to fill the hole that retirement would cause. Jenna has been patient with me and continues to support me and my endeavor to become even stronger as a warrior.
Jenna has asked me if i would consider an elopement and even talked of children. I have put her off ...for reasons that i dont understand myself. But mainly, i dont want to leave a widow and orphans behind when i die. Which may be soon enough.
Kyle and Ferrit have just had their first baby boy, Cole and seem happy but tired. Seems to push Jenna's biological clock button even more.
The twins are growing and are toddling around. Keeps Rain and Sonya on their toes.
Dalan is such a hard worker and has grown in his skills...Daniel is growing as a fighter and has developed a good knowledge of strategy of his own right...Jako i dont see...he's certainly a mystery person.
Dora, what can i say, she is a great fighting companion and takes care of me so i dont die...but she's a bit of a mystery too. CAnt put my finger on it yet.
Mercas has been busy making enchantments, rings and such...i hardly see him. But have had a chance to travel with him and Dora on an occasion. He wants more diamonds, and I have talked withe the brave monk Silverhand if he would be interested. The thinks with Eredel, Robert and a few others it could be done. We shall see.
I've run into this character, named Truk, a half giant...we've been traveling around too.
I had the most unusual experience on Bear Island...*shudders*...i was traveling with Dora and Mercas, gathering garnets and feldspar, when we came across this mage a drow mage so his appearance seemed...He made no attempt on us nor did he aid either. He did not speak but just watched us but without regard as to what were doing?! Very odd...seeing this kinds of characters wandering Layo...and particularly Bear Island not known for an association with the underdark or drow?
Got things to do...thanks Ilsare for life and love...*walks out the door*

good info for those stat majors...i just cuss and wave my arms a lot! Helps! But it galls you to load up the furnace on a 85% And lose it all, then turn around and hit 2 out of 4 at 20%! The good times should over shadow the lousy rolls....i know..dig more sand!

Thank the gods that Elgon has returned and only slightly wounded. I dont know what would have become of me if he hadnt come back?
His "family" here have tried to make me feel welcome, especially the fellow Rain, but i dont know these people.
So i just keep to myself and try to find work here in Hlint.
Elgon is all that i thought a big brother should be, he helps me with fighting and defensive moves, he's so patient! I dont see him enough as he seems busy with this guild stuff and works all the time. I see a sadness in him though, i think he is worried about his girl friend Jenna.
i am learning so much and gaining experience but the creatures in this area are so fierce, my skills dont give them much of a challenge. I mine and craft when i can to raise money.
I just hugged Elgon, i was so happy to see him!! I love him dearly and hope the best for him. Especially since my own family has disowned me and i can never go back! He is my only family now!
I'm tired now and must sleep.
