Due to a real life event that's getting blown way out of proportion (my birthday *rolls his eyes*) on the 24th of January. I'm going to reschedule that portion of the quest, just for the sake knowing *exactly* when I'll be able to run it. At most it's going to get just a one week pushback. But my apologies to the tolerant souls that went on the first part, and know that I'll use the extra time to really really think of some interesting tort...ummm...something good  //EDIT: Forgot to add, I took this event off the calendar.

First off, this isn't a grievance, I can get these things back, just a thought to make sure this doesn't happen to somebody else. Before a server crash on west, Daren had just taken out 1 blank crystal rod I, an enchanted crystal rod II, and enough materials to create 2 new blank rod I's (2 lumps of coal, and 8 glass ingots). All of these items came from a chest at his house at 171 Blackford. Walking back toward Hlint, the server died at the east exit from Fort Llast (so think the time to run through 2.5 areas, non hasted). Relogged after recovery, found out the items weren't in the inventory. Assumed they were in the chest still. Returnedto the house later, found out the items *weren't* in the chest, or in inventory. Now...would it be possible to change the persistant chest so that it would force committing it's inventory, and the PC's inventory to the database upon opening and then closing the chest? If that would be too lag heavy, It could be modified to work like a CNR tool, which only trips the crafting menu upon a change in the tool's inventory; i.e. The chest would only performs a forced commit upon putting something in, or taking something out and then 'closing' the chest. And would this also be a step toward fixing the stuck-open chest bug? By making the forced commit occur after a change in inventory and after the user hits 'close', the database will always be updated to it's most recent. *Is trying to remember back to something he read regarding items in chests etc, blueprints, and actual inventory* Anyways, I consider this to be a somewhat rare instance, and I've read that 171 Blackford has had it's share of problems in the past. So, just a thought to keep in mind whenever Orth gets bored

Last night, I was invited to attend Vyris's Ring's quest. Very hard quest, the party was well informed of the risks involved blah se blah. I'll skip all the introductory information. The point of this (especially after reading the post on personal accountability), is that I wish to extend a thank you to all my party mates, and to Vyris. And also offer up my apologies, again to my party mates, and to Vyris who ran another awesome quest. And not to sound like a pre-thanksgiving commercial, also like to thank L, the Dev team and the other GM's that make Layo great. You can never see what goes on behind the monitor at the person running the character. And I want to say that last night, it wasn't pretty. I screamed, I shouted, I cussed, and I whined. Many of you weren't aware of this, but I was, and that's why I'm writing this. All but cussing isn't me *is a master swear artist*, and I woke up this morning ashamed at Daren's actions as a character and mine as a player. Because of RL intruding on fantasy, he wasn't acting himself, and neither was I, and it brought down my game, and probably the games of all the other players in my party. I can't promise that this sort of childish behavior on my part won't ever happen again (because face it, RL is RL after all , because we're all human on the inside (even elves). But still, I felt bad because I truly feel like I'm a nice guy (despite how bad Jeran acts and last night, basically I forgot about the human element involved, and I felt like I was on the verge of breaking friendships and hurting feelings. And to let myself get wrapped up in what is really just a game, because characters can be recreated, but friends are forever. Anyways, my 2 cents, thanks for reading

Ok, one of my character's and his fiancee have pretty much everything lined up for their wedding on the 5th of November (at least for the moment, as I guess in IRL, for every detail we find, 3 more crop up). We tried to stay away from having a lot of GM involvment, but come to find out, we hit a small sticking point, and also have a few questions (both of us want this to be good RP and a good time for all the guests). So this is me asking if anybody would be available for a small discussion with Daren and Jil (advice from Ice and/or Orth would be greatly appreciated also), and willing to help out on the 5th.
Thanks again all...*dashes off to find his notebook to write down the next 3 details he just thought of*

Daren walks into the Wild Surge, sometime close to sundown. The patrons don't look to be *too* deep into their cups as of yet, this suits him just fine. He looks around the room slowly, and clears his throat.
"Oy...listen up 'ere a second..." he says in a loud voice. His face turns a little red as the heads snap around and the eyes lock in on him. He clears his throat again, but continues on quickly
"I been 'untin Bodaks quite a bit lately...ifn' any o' ye know s'meb'dy that be needin Bodak teeth, tell 'em ta see eith'r me er Jil."
His embarassment seems to increase a bit, as his face flushes a little more
"Thankee all...I be seein' ye 'round." This last comes out very rapidly, and he quickly steps out of the inn, and into the darkening night.

Ok...Daren, he can't read or write very well (and can barely talk, if you've ever had a chance to listen to him)...only small words, he's been working on it a lot (every night according to my CD thread) now...Jil, his significant other, can do both very well, would it be appropriate to RP through her teaching him and then be able to perform both? I know he can't become an author immedately, but I can advance his reading skills a little faster now?. I'm just wondering how to RP this properly (mostly through my CD thread), since I plan on asking for some ears later on (Elvish and Drow) and this'd be a good way to sort of start that off.
Thanks again

As it stands now, my Cleric of Az'atta summons High Guardians *cries because a hound archon was coming up before y'all changed it...but likes his tank of a Guardian * and from the last time I checked (which was about 2 days since the last time I tried it), the summon carries a shield of Rofirein. I don't really think this rates as a bug, but just something to keep in mind for next update, but it'd be nice for it to have a shield of Az'atta, since thats all you really see of it.

Is there a list somewhere, that shows the colors of the different dieties? I just want to make sure my cleric is dressed properly. He's a cleric of Az'atta that wears blue, doesn't seem so out of place, but Az'atta being a drow, and most drow wearing black or red makes me wonder.

Brue...
We need to talk soon, Klugger told me some of what you guys did in the crypt last week while we were seperated, but he wasn't too clear. Since I can never find you, but the ale is here, I figured you'd see this eventually.
Just wanted you to know I'm looking for you, and Lia too, so we can figure out what's going on with this whole mess.

*Jaren finishes his note and hangs it on the wall. As he walks quietly out of the inn, his shoulders slump a little and he sighs since he doesn't know if Brue can read*

Daren sighed and shook his head. He didn't mean to hit him that hard, just enough to jolt him. The boy used to be tougher, but from the looks of him, the past eight years haven't been that kind to him either, the boy looked underfed, underslept, and overstressed. He saw the strange design that looked like it was
burned into his arm, and what looked like bad scars on his hands. He sighed again, and looked to the sky before walking over to his brother's backpack and started to rummage through it.
"'ey...where do ya keep yer food? I'm starvin'" Daren said in a grumbling voice loud enough to be heard a mile away. Jaren stirred slightly and groaned softly.
"Oh, quit yer whinin' boy. Th' sun is up, and it looks like ye'd sleep half the day away if'n I let ya." Daren said, with a suprisingly normal looking smile on his round face.
Jeran sat up slowly, holding his head, watching his brother rummage through his possesions with one barely open eye.
"There's nothing valuable in there. If it's money you want, I don't have any" Jeran said, his voice still slurred from sleep.
"Bah...nuthin' ta eat" Daren mumbled quietly and then looked up at his brother "And dunna be lying, I know of th' small fortune ye have stashed away in th' bank. Nay, I din't come 'ere fer yer money, or yer precious things. I come here because of ye actually, and for ye, if ye'd hear me out."
Hearing that Jeran scoffed and gave his brother a heartless smile "I'll believe that when I see it." Finding his canteen in the mess that was now his campsite, he took a quick drink before continuing. "You've never had any interest in anything or anybody but yourself. So why should now be any different?"
Daren looked down and touched the holy symbol around his neck before queitly answering "B'cause...change happens." Daren continued on, telling Jeran of what happened the past eight years. He told him of his imprisonment, his sad lonlieness, his last visit to their empty home and his subsequent dream of his goddess and his commitment to her.
After his tale, Jeran sat looking down and thinking hard for a moment before asking how Daren found him. With a slight chuckle he answered "Yer dog was th' one that found me. He was th' one that wanted me here. One look at ye and now I know why."
Jeran's eyes narrowed dangerously at Deran and he said in a quiet voice "Dog talks gibberish most times, and only to me. And why pray tell...would he want you to help me?"
More quiet laughter followed from Daren. "Told me in a dream yer dog did, talked quite clearly I thought, much better than meself if I do say so." Taking a breath to quiet himself he then looked at his brother closely, concern lining his round face. "And I be here boy b'cause yer dangerous...very dangerous. Yer in some dire need of help before somethin' happens to ye. I also met a lass the other day, fine girl, tall, red hair...said her name was Anna. She seemed to be quite taken with ye, that be easy to tell. I could read th' worry about ye on 'er face just as well"
Jeran flushed and his face grew dark and full of anger, and he almost shouted. "And what do you know? You're nothing but a farm boy gutter rat. Living trouble that walks on two legs. You've always been nothing, are nothing...will always be nothing." He stood up and quickly grabbed his sword and drew it, the blade springing into flame and pointed it at his older brother. His voice dropped, becoming a dead quiet near whisper. "And if you...ever go near Anna again, I swear...I will rip your guts out and leave you for dead. Trust me, nobody will miss you."
Daren's expression never changed, he just sighed slightly as he also stood, regarding his younger sibling for a moment. With a quickness that seemed eerie for a man his size, he quickly picked Jeran up and slammed his back against the nearest tree.
"Listen 'ere...*boy*." Daren said in the same deadly quiet voice as Jeran's. "Ye have a gift...I can feel it shining around ye like th' sun. But ye use it fer no purpose. I know it cost ye dearly, and I know yer still payin' for it. Ye have a fine girl who'd follow ye to th' ends o' th' earth. But still ye push on, always wantin' more, killin' yeself for nothin'. Hurtin' those who care about ye by yer foolishness. I know yer ashamed of what we were, but ye should be proud of what ye became...for I know when I look at ye that I am" Daren let go and his brother fell to the ground, his face a mixture of shame and anger. Daren got down on one knee beside him and looked him in the eyes. "Ye've always been th' smart one, always been the dreamer. And now yer all I got left, and I dunna want ta see anythin' happen to ye...or yer lass." Daren reached out to tussle Jeran's hair but instead just looked at him quizically. "Gods boy...have ye never heard of a comb?" He laughed quietly before continuing "Family be the most important thing ever, and I'll do whatever it takes ta keep ye and yer girl safe...even if she dunna like me too much." He added with a quick grin.
"Don't call me boy, you're only two years older..." Jeran replied in a small voice.
Daren grinned even wider and stood up, dusting himself off. "Bah...two yearsolder, but a lifetime wiser." He turns and starts to walk toward the gate leading into town. "I be off ta town...if'n I don't eat soon, I'll waste away ta nothin." He turns one last time with a smile. "Know that yer brother loves ye, and may the blessings and the love of the Redemptress be upon ye and keep ye safe."
