Memorial Slab Sayings.
« on: July 22, 2012, 10:45:38 pm »
I just discovered today that I can read the memorial slabs and I found a funny one.

"This is a finely-crafted dorite memorial to Ater Lathonmeng.
The slab reads, In memory of Ater Lathonmeng / Struck down by the goblin Bax Chaosmaligned the Tiredness of Perishment with a iron pike in The Third Attempted Abduction at Torchchains in the year 35 / Outpost Liasion of the Paper of Amazements in 35 / United with schist."

Its that last thing that got me laughing.

Any geology majors here will understand.

Well, some players are still pretty new to this, after all.  They can find novelty and delight in things we've seen so many times, we take them for granite by now.

The little bits at the end are rather hilarious. I'd definitely want something like that in my epitaph, though it's orpiment that I approve it first.

I'd assume it's something to do with the Dwarf joining the long list of minerals that Schist is made up of. Am mica helping?
