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.

excited to have this lair be a wild safari zone to gather pelts for my sheathes.

there has been probably one klone pk ever and that was bcos they never logged their pygmy after like a map change this is not needed at all to make this pk even easier to avoid lol.

dude imagine if i just rp'd killing you. how would have u transformed and became the villain if i made cloudbreaker eat u.

You just need to focus on what you find fun and capitalise on that. Disconnecting from doomsayers and constant “this server is going to ******* die” helps make you get a better perspective on the server. Opportunities in the current story are vast, even with the “empires” control, there are many places to be within and there will be afterwards. The war has burnt many people out because they think it’s impossible to have a story where they lose, but it’s a part of LotC to understand struggle and living in a world that may not be perfect. heaps of opportunities for different events, interactions and a variety of aspects that you get from simply just approaching people. Give your character a purpose and goal, this helps so much in being able to dictate the next steps of what you work towards. The most difficult enemy of LotC is conquering “I have nothing to do”. Innovate, search and constantly change stuff. I will admit as transitioning to a normal player away from doing lore nonsense for the last 6 years, it has been phenomenal in actually just taking the server for what it is. A fun creative outlet where you can explore things that you want to. (Also I’ll shout out Sorvians as a CA, they’re a great template to trial out purpose driven rp to help layer into your characters)

I think the direction of these amendments aren’t super great but at the same time you’ve given my character compatibility with this so I have to support it. For my true, selfish reasons. thank you Primnya

The strange Tengu would stab the spider with great precision with its Argentum Naginata, using it for its true worth. To kill those of the Caves, even if they walk.

KAJI BLADEWORKS Within the Isles of Raijima, the workshop of Ken-Kaji lies within the Commerical District awaiting for those of all walks of life to be able to experience the metals that the Forge-Spirit has to offer. The store itself produces standard-grade equipment, allowing all to access weapons that will equip even the most inept Shimin to become a respectable challenger to Brigand and Yokai alike. The weapons themselves rotate upon purchase, with a variety of different polearms, blades and blunt objects [with the occasional Shinobi Implement] sold within. COMMISSIONS: With commission, many have not carried the inspiration that I seek with most works. Yet, I understand the wishes of many to get something created by myself. So for such, these are prices: 50 Mon - This is for Custom Blade / Weapon of any normal make, this will not have any discussion other than directions and original measurements. One understands that they simply want blade of their dreams, and can get such. 100 Mon - This is for Custom Blade / Weapon of Kami Metal make, but follows same as above. These are simple directions, blade will not carry heart of usual. INSPIRED CRAFTS: Yet, if one comes to me with the belief of undergoing on a quest to assemble their blade, to gather the parts and manipulate the very soul of the blade itself. This shall be done for free, those of INSPIRED crafts are what drive my purpose and being. Through my own studies, I aim to create Legendary Blades and weapons. I am inspired to craft most Kami Metals, but I seek the process to craft that of PURE Carbarum, and the Fabled DRACANIUM. These ones will be taken for free, without much resistance. If you believe your quest for your weapon is one of an INSPIRED NATURE. Contact me through the winged messenger or use my shop to deposit a letter. Services Offered: Creation of Melee Weapons Kharajyr and Pelt Saya Creation Creation of “small items of armour”. [Singular pieces, as this is evil craft] Creation of Ranged Weapons Training of combat styles for new aspirants of combat Guidance for those who seek to understand the Blade Soul

Hey, So the context here really focuses on that you are accusing someone who is actively trying to create roleplay that they are genuinely destroying people and making them leave OOCly because of their abusive actions. To defend Werewolf, the accusations are constantly thrown to him that he is extremely OOCLY manipulative and actively ruining the server by those around the dwarven/coalition sphere. It is extremely disheartening to be on a side where you are actively roleplaying and creating depth and nuance, for people to genuinely accuse you of destroying everything and making it something that is much worse. Words and such of course are trolly on both sides and reflect this, but your genuine criticisms are unfounded attacks against a group that is making roleplay, even if your sphere does not “enjoy” it. I dealt with this very issue where I had the dwarves during my world ending antag try to say I was personally destroying their nation when they lost the Hammer of Urguan and failed a few sieges via an event. I was threatened with doxxing and ddosing through multiple avenues and was also branded a terrible roleplayer for creating an experience I believe that people did enjoy. It ******* sucks to sit in those shoes and it’s an absolute spit in the face to werewolf for the effort he has placed in to maintaining a large playerbase, keeping them active AND providing content to the server. It genuinely baffles me that those who throw stones don’t expect one thrown back at him. There needs to be maturity between the playerbases, but I think with recent actions it shows that people have dropped the ball all around.
