One had a rough few months and missed a turn, sorry about that. Can one join the queue again?

[Bralbaard]

Sure no problem, I'll add you to the list.

Speaking of the list. Kesperan, how is your turn going?

I will upload the save tonight or tomorrow at the latest.

[Lurker Z]

I guess it's time to ask for a spot on the turn list. If there are too many non-shows, I might ask to be bumped down a few turns until November comes around.

I've been making more articles on adventurers, I'm only on page 30 on re-reading the thread. Even with Avolition and Moldath around, I'm once again impressed by some of the earlier adventurers. Lonelythrall is still going to stay in the top 5 personal favorites, he solo-ed a vault with a broken spine almost from the beginning! I'm finding new hidden depths for other adventurers too, Glloyd presented himself as a mild-mannered traveling scholar, but he's the third adventurer to survive in the 10th century after Bralbaard and Lonelythrall and he also has 65 kills, which is not bad at all. Fidale had 32 traveling companions, and she led NINE of them to get epithets (i.e. titles like "the Sorcerous Vise" etc) - talk about to leading to "glory or death" and Fidale has led them to both. Doñas also got some good kills AFTER slaying the dragon, for which he became most known.

Speaking of, QD, any chance of Lonelythrall ever making a return? I suspect you retired him back then because he seemed too OP, but between Avolition and Moldath going full ham and all these ascended adventurers to Kings and Queens of major civilizations, I think Lonelythrall would fit right into the overall story.

[kesperan]

Here is the save.

I didn't have time to make a new fort.

Just had a gander at the save, looking forward to seeing your turn writeup Kesperan.

[kesperan]

Before I forget, please sign me up for another turn.

[Lurker Z]

I discovered something I didn't know until now and if this is intentional (it seems to be), it's mind-boggling.

So you know how there are very alive very un-tainted (not blighted thrall etc.) goblins and other creatures in Okgush Irka. Well, hold on to your seats... they were recruited. I first noticed it with Oddom Èrithzenon, leader of that battle, who was just a humble tavern keeper... but then I noticed another goblin tavern keeper who participated in Okgush Irka and had the exact same story:

Some nice undead part of the dwarf necromancer Oddom's army with fancy epithets came into a bar, told war stories to any who listened, became "war buddies" with said tavern keepers despite not being in the same group and never fighting together in a war and a few months later, those bright-eyed tavern keepers became loyal members of the necromancer Oddom's army. This is brilliant!

I always get a kick from your lore entries Lurker. The work you’ve put into this is brilliant.

I hope QD has started his turn.

I’ll get my story up as soon as possible, but quite busy at work over next week or so.

[AvolitionBrit]

Certainly fascinating little facts of history in the world. Must of been a good time in that tavern during the 4th century

Well, it was literally The Last Battle for Orid Xem. It's the equivalent of the LotR movies final battle. It was an ongoing apocalypse narrowly averted. I've seen enough worlds generated to know that a necro can win. In those scenarios, the world generation immensely speeds up, which means the world stagnates without the undead ever being bothered or doing anything.

The fact that undead soldiers from the source of said apocalypse could just waltz around as honored guests in dark fortresses is... interesting. It looks like the place was conquered by the time the goblin Oddom was recruited and she was thus nominally under their control anyway... but she doesn't appear of a member of a previous group before The Scholarly Manors... interesting.

Also, the little I researched into this, it seems other necro groups recruited the same way.

One more aspect that may be notable, the living were rewarded with both lordships and artifacts. Wow, Oddom Thobmunèst wasn't just a mindless hoarder of undead until she could bury Orid Xem in bodies, she actually used tactics and guile.

Looking forward to reach your story/stories soon, I'm rereading the thread and I'm only at Raki's debut, a fifth of the way into the thread.

Speaking of QD, he was way ahead of us on some aspects. According to TV Tropes (which means at least two people discovered this before me),

the Omon blight is the same as the Thranan plague. According to TV Tropes, QD found with his characters an infected goblin and started infecting others, just like Raki did with the weremammoths and Ragnar with Asmel's vampire blood.

Thanks for the compliments, kesperan. I'm also amazed by Moldath's incredible adventures.

[Bralbaard]

I hope QD has started his turn.

Yes, QD is playing, he picked up the save on Sunday.
I have updated the turn list, good to have you back on the list Lurker. I really apreciate all the work you've put into the wiki, and look forward to your adventures!

[Quantum Drop]

Good to see you're back Lurker -- thread hasn't been the same without your deep dives into the lore and discovery of cool facts about Orid Xem's history. To answer your earlier question, I haven't really thought about Lonelythrall for a while, but I figure I can work him into a future turn considering how the world's changed since then.

(I can also confirm I'm playing my turn; wrapping up my main adventure today then moving onto the building of a fort.)

[Lurker Z]

Just took a look in the save, Moldath borked his profile both in Legends Viewer and Legends Browser. Also looking forward to the story, the things I've seen are spoilerific.

Thanks for the warm return welcome, everyone. I hope I can do my next turn justice.

org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of method 'getShortDescription' in class legends.model.events.HfLearnsSecretEvent threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException at events.vm[line 30, column 40]

Yes, that makes sense and is as I suspected. Moldath may have learned a few too many secrets for these programs to handle it. One of my other suspicions was that he had too many kills, but that Learns Secret puts me to mind of exactly what it's called.

This might be a word of caution for Avolition not to gather more secrets as his profile might become inaccessible too (it works for now, I checked).

On another note, this is just like Moldath to break the world's perception of him. That's something we've come to expect from him.

[AvolitionBrit]

Yeah, i spotted that his profile isnt readible anymore, we might have to post in legends viewer again and get another bug fix.

I was planning a new character/charcters next turn anyway so we shall see.

Avolition will learn all 12 one day.

Moldath has certainly transended the game and has brought death to his profile. Ala would be proud.

Also cheers for the corrections on the page last night lurker, was trying to keep to the template but i missed some aspects. I will try and be more diligent when adding more pages, even went back over some of my older ones on gods and ettins.

Looking forward to seeing what QD has gotten up to.
