ScreamingDingo

lector technologies of ear muffs and plugs are okay if they’re an item and prepared properly. any good combat noob should know if they go “it doesn’t hurt me” and can’t produce an item they get obliterated.

Good to see you realised that your streak of poop pants lore stopped for a little bit and you had to reinvigorate it

OLD Stripped Blisterbark bears a unique interaction with fresh blood. Much like its Blisterthorn relative, the material will sprout myriad barbs when thrust into flesh as if tiny fangs were clenching onto a wound. Attempting to remove the Blisterbark from a wound without first soaking it in saltwater will, no doubt, tear away chunks of flesh and incur greater hemorrhaging. This said, the inherent brittleness of the wood necessitates that the Blisterbark be fashioned into munition tips or sharpened stakes rather than standard melee weapon,s given the high amounts of force required to pierce into flesh. Upon Vampires of any type, however, the barbs would incur a few secondary effects. First, the Vampire would begin to feel great amounts of non-debilitating unease as if they were being stalked by a looming presence. Secondly, their sense of smell would begin to recognize the musk of something foul. Thirdly, the Vampire would find themselves drained of [2] units of Genus as blood is sapped away from their reserves. Lastly, if staked through the heart of a Moroi, an immolation-like effect would occur whereby the Moroi would erupt violently across a [2x2x2] space in a spray of gore, necessitating that they be restored by the Rite of Revival due to Blisterbark's nefarious origin. REDLINES [REFINED] 1. Stripped Blisterbark possesses the endurance of brittle plywood and will shatter following physical impact. This is to say that it can only be used to strike once before degrading, and any attempts to block with the material will fail as its form suffers critical failure. 2. Stripped Blisterbark stakes can only be shot from hand-crossbows, given that the full force of a crank-crossbow would cause a stake to explode. Alternatively, a Blisterbark stake may be manually aligned and struck with a hammer. 3. Stripped Blisterbark, if sharpened in any way, cannot be used by Oscillits. However, if the Blisterbark is dull, it cannot render a combative advantage lest inserted into an already open wound. 4. Stripped Blisterbark retains a weight comparable to that of standard wood. 5. Though an open material, Blisterbark’s effects on vampires cannot be “inferred” and must be adequately discovered through roleplay. While it may be reasonable to assume a blood-leeching wood might harm Vampires, it is a leap of logic to then say “if I stake a Moroi through the heart it will Soft-PK them”. Further, blisterbark ARROWS or BOLTS rather than STAKES will not render this effect due to their reduced surface area. 6. Stripped Blisterbark does NOT require an ST Signature. 7. The stench wrought by Stripped Blisterbark, while present to Vampires, can not overwrite their sense of smell, nor be used as a means for Vampiric testing.

HAIKEI - 拝啓, Those of the many skies and seas of the world. I write with the intent of asking those who roam this world for assistance in my own pursuit of becoming the Grand Smith of these lands. Circumstances have meant that my forge of Machiman's flame has not the strength required for me to craft the greatest of my quests. With such, this means that I require a new forge built with a specific purpose in mind. I wish to capture and utilise the Flame of the 竜 within the Forge, being able to harness the heart of the Dragon within will allow for the steel and bones that I wish to craft to melt under their heat. The attainment of such a forge is a grand purpose of mine and this quest shall extend further than many would believe. That of a Dragonsflame Forge is the next step within my journey, to build it within the Isles of Raijima to continue my quest to forge every single material. With such, I understand such an undertaking is immense and not possible by the standards of most. I aim to capture the attention of those that have the knowledge of how to capture the Flame of the Dragon, to utilise it within a forge and have its heat swell through the very lands that we stand upon. There are methods that I have thought of for this, and some require actions that I am not going to take as of yet. I do not have much within material compensation, but such means that if you assist me with this forge, you will have access to my skills in whatever way you wish. Do write to I with haste, I am ready to prove my worth if such is required or to deconstruct the greatest minds to create a conduit of pure forging prowess. Even that of the Kami can hear my plea, to become the greatest means that I shall need to even impress the Heavens with the Steel of the Mortal Existence. Many blessings and thanks to those that have read my plea - I do hope that you will respond with knowledge and understanding of my quest. Ugokoyama Ken-Kaji - The Raijimian Sword-Saint and Forging Spirit

Date calculations changed from 1.0 - 3.0 when we realised the server was going to last longer than expected. I'll have a look. EDIT: It seems like the plugin was broken for a lot of Asulon, so people just manually did it via wiki updates. Telanir is the one who created the plugin that standardised everything

The Oyashi Monk floats idly on the bay, its legs and arms broken and contorted from the strange happenings. It remained alive, yet its memory was completely erased of the chance encounter. Whether it did this by choice or intervention, the Dwarf Looter was allowed to continue its circumstances with the intervention of the Kami.

You died to a Paladin, sorry.

A strange, masked monk would aim to find these readings to add to its own collection. A single thought pondered within its mind as it compared this against its own thesis.

The newly rebranded Sorvian Monk, John Smith, focuses on his peasant forge. Making the very best longswords for the new domain of Kaedrin.
