[ 9] Heartsbane: Heartsbane's Law

Tue Nov 17 09:10:02 1998
To: all
When you kill a corpse, young buck,
Be sure that you will test your luck,
If you fail, then you may boast,
That at least you got to see a ghost.

Now if you're feeling battle weary,
You ought to be a little leery,
Of visits from beyond the grave,
Noting that revenge they crave.

Think not that you can flee your doom,
They find, no matter what the room,
Sucking mana down like wine,
Saferoom? They don't care, that's fine:)

And should you hurt them hard, they go,
But then return to cause more woe
Until at last, the battle ends,
And you must go begin again.

For there is no way to avoid the howl,
Of those that you have disemboweled,
To gain your levels, take your chances,
Remember though, death loves his dances.

And so, oh newbie, shake with fear,
As for the first time you hear,
Voices wroth with calls for vengeance,
and rattling chains in dingy dungeons

[Board 5] Jerald: heartsbanes' entry for the contest.

Sat Jun 20 20:58:47 1998
To followers of: Jerald
Slowly, yet surely, we creep towards our goals
Surely we will achieve..
The next level. More skills. More stuff.
More spells

When really, that isn't the final goal.
To stretch boundries, explore new realms, hell
_create_ more realms.
And yet, somehow, all that is lost.
"I might die out there".
Lose that equiptment...
Lose that exp...
Lose.

Nayr has transferred you.

Nayr's Office
[Exits: none]
You are standing on a wide disk of polished onyx, about twenty feet
in diameter. On all sides you are surrounded by empty air, as this
disk is floating high in the sky above the world. In the precise
center of the disk floats an enormous legless chair, from which Nayr
watches the mortal world. Mounted on the left shoulder of the chair
is a raven's perch.
The sky is rainy and a cold northern gust blows.
[GS] Nayr is here.
>l nayr
You see a tall Elf. His elegantly pointed ears echo the delicate lines
of his face, youthful and smooth. This youthful appearance is betrayed,
however, by a glance at his ancient sea-blue eyes. In their quiet depths
lie three thousand years of stories. He is garbed in fine elfweave, woven
from the blue-black light of the dying day. His presence is powerful,
almost intimidating, but he gives you an amused smile that calms your mind.
Nayr is bathed in the essence of charisma.
Nayr is in perfect health.
Nayr is using:
<worn on finger> a Ring of Enchantment
<worn on finger> the Ring of Truth
<worn around neck> the Master Key, on a silver chain

<worn on head> a night-black headband
<worn on legs> a pair of starlight elfweave pants
<worn on feet> a pair of black suede boots

<worn on arms> Ygg the Raven, perched on a bracer
<worn as shield> an ancient patience
<worn about body> a cloak of Lagmonster hide
<worn about waist> the Mobius belt, from which the sword Souldrinker hangs
<worn around wrist> a bracelet of tiny black roses
<worn around wrist> a bracelet of tiny blood red roses
