Quote:The forest responded... in many ways. The Heart tree was the only one of it's kind in the forest and true to the name was the living heart of the forest. It survived being ripped away from it's native world, away from the abundant magical energy that sustains the life of it's world.Indeed, this wasn't far from the truth - a truth which the forest itself by now knew. The runner wasn't composed of organic materials, but that hadn't stopped it from starting to reach out to the earth around it in curiosity. It didn't do this physically of course, or even mentally for that matter. The means was closest to a form of spiritual communication, though a very rudimentary and instinctual sort. The ship wasn't intelligent. It wasn't even really self-aware. But it was alive, and that life suffused every part of it.
In the 200 years on patches it been adapting in ways not even the Elves had any clue of. The Cliff walls kept out hostiles but it also kept it lock in. The only way was to the waste but that was once a lush lake before and it did try to expand growing new seedlings with changes to survive outside of the magical aura of the native forest. It had made at least one seedling that could survive and generate it's own magic aura... right before patches crushed it under the waste.
Survival that what the forest was driven to do. But how... It been testing striving to make life grow in the dead soil of the waste. If it could expand it could survive, but there was only one heart tree... It could grow seeds but the problem was getting them far away enough to not fight with it's own offspring. The Cliffs and the outside hostile environment prevented this. Yes it was true the elves could transport the seeds far enough away but the Forest wasn't aware of them they were barely even noted to the forest.
Now two ways have come to it's awareness. The first was Bisys and the second was this strange connection a touch from something completely Alien but alive.
It reaches out through the connection with it's own curiosity. True a tree wouldn't have much but in the last 200 years it learned that it would have to be more then it once was. What it wanted from the range runner was simple. EVERYTHING how to fly how to be self contained. In return the forest was offering anything it could.
In the Seeds of the Heart tree was the start of a new form of life a mix of trees and Range Runner a true Hybrid.

Rotten just laugh as what wounds he gained started to repair. Then spun to face the Shopkeeper. "Did you twy mind twicks on me? Hello I'm dead! Let me show you how it's done!" The slur speech was the result of him using his own magic to repair the wounds.
With that Rotten thrust his hand at the Shopkeeper. Dark magic within him rushed out of his finger tips the moment he connected a wave of fear should over take the Shopkeeper.
(( Just so you know Rotten's weakness is strong Negative attacks I don't think the shop keeper is up to Eb/AV ranking attacks so he just shrugged them off. Toxic damage is a bigger weakness. He would respond to toxics the most.)) -
Quote:Rotten blinked as the shopkeeper struck him across the face. He turned and looked at his attacker "You got to be kidding me. I fight Rikti with 3 feet long blades and blasters and you think you can harm me?"Shopkeeper couldn't help himself anymore.. he was discovered... he knew it! And the mistress was almost here! The young vampire jumped out with all his might trying to subdue the zombie and get to the blood now spoiling over the ally stonefloor. His claws striking at the creature.
"Your lucky I'm bored so I won't just crush you." He then slammed a Smiting punch into the shop keepers gut. "Lets dance!"

Cerelassion seemed completely taken in by the craft. "Carbon too... and... wait this can't be. My word this ship is alive! Amazing really amazing"
The Forest was responding to the contact with the ship just like with Bisys the Fey were swarming around it and dancing as they greeted the ship.
Lady Aineruda nodded "Understandable Akat it was lucky that the Fey warned me not to attack." -
I did say the Willpower/Dark Melee build is the Oddball of the Tankers.
A popular build I seen is Shield/Electric or Shield/Fire mainly to the Shield charge attack followed by an AOE attack. Many Dead foes very fast. -
I agree with that the older content needs to be tweaked. Not really removed but just gone over add a bit new models to the groups. A few stories edited or expanded and just some Dev loving.
Much like how the Hollows got a work over. It's still Hollows but has more interesting street spawns and missions flow with ease. It wasn't the completely redone like Faultline was.
I think that's what were talking about here not a "Throw all that old stuff out" but a more "Okay where are the winkles and lets give these Hellions and Skulls some new threads."
Maybe a zone event where you do have the "GANG" war active. hundreds of Hellions and Skulls fighting each other and your caught in the cross fire.
P.S. I don't count the alternate universe counterparts as comebacks. They are after all from another universe. Now here a question if Level is Time more or less then you capture some Big villains before the "ZIG brakeout" they logically could be back out in the streets rebuilding their armies. Hence the Pre Bricktown Zig brake out Villains could story wise be free again seeking revenge so story wise it's not impossible for them to return. -
I'm going to be Rotten here...
Really! I'm taking my Willpower/Dark Melee/Energy mastery Rotten Luck and pushing him as far as I can.
So yes he be the first to get Incarnate level 1. When ever Issue 19 goes live go to incarnate 10.
I would also make him vigilante he really don't care about Law and order heck he don't really care about good and evil either. Just the bad guys annoy him more so he's a Hero. -

Lady Aineruda "perhaps in hindsight Informing the restless natives they may have guests would have been smart." Looking at Akat "I was about to order a full attack thinking this was a Hunter Killer. Mind telling me why one of your ships is now landing?"
Cerelassion was studying the range runner his glasses on and he even took out what might be a magnifying glass but with magical runes carved around the lens. "I haven't seen this type of alloy before... My word is that a silicone based structure?"

Rotten stopped eating in mid bite and looked around. "Huh? dis somwone dere..." He swallows the bite. "Is someone there?" Setting down his burger he takes a few steps looking into the shadows where the shopkeeper was.
At first glance Rotten was just another zombie. Anyone skilled in magic could tell that wasn't so. He was a result of not one magical spell but two both botched up.
The First curse killed him trapping his soul in a lifeless corps. It's unclear if that was the true intent of the curse or a side effect from it being thousands of years old. The result was the same Ron Boltan being dead and buried.
The second magical spell was from a wanna be Necromancer named Trever. He dug Ron up and reanimated the body. With a soul intact Ron wasn't under anyones control and he beat the snot out of Trever. Delivering the necromancer to a group of longbows he was talked into coming to Paragon where Magi might be able to help.
Simply put Magi had no idea how to return Ron to life or end the Zombie curse with out killing him or spreading the Zombie curse to others.
The Result was Rotten Luck a nearly unstoppable Zombie with negative energy attacks, and a regeneration factor that could put some Regen scrappers to shame. (Rottens build is a Willpower/Dark Melee/Energy Mastery Tanker) -
Quote:But they are still low level... or we think. What Samuel_Tow was saying was have the Bad guys RETURN!I think that may already be in the works, although using Praetoria rather than Ouroboros.
This is pure speculation, but I've talked to a few people who agree with me - Look at the new "undead" faction. They're obviously tech zombies, just like Doc Vahz's work. Just,with some of Praetoria's tech being more advanced than ours, they may be better, faster, and stronger than our Embalmed and Cadavers.
We do see this with The Clockwork King coming into play during the Lady Grey Task Force. But at the same time he's just for one mission at the end. Where is his "RETURN OF THE CLOCKWORK KING!" Arc.
>.> Hmm... that gives me an idea for an AE but that player made not Dev Content. -

Lady Aineruda looked up as the sound hit her ears. "ARCHERS IN PLACE! Fire when you are sure you hit the Hunter Killer don't waste those arrows!"
They knew that the Hunter Killer wouldn't be effected by the gale force winds that started blowing against it. However in order for it to assure it hit the target it would need to get closer or risk the bombs being blown off course.
"Fey! Start attacking!" The fey buzzed then stopped a few flying back. The Fey noticed something.
As they pull the EMP Arrows tight and then let them fly at the haul of the Hunter Killer when it got close. How many of the 20 EMP arrows hit who knows but combine with the lighting strikes and the building ice on it's engines and maneuvering flaps avoiding all the arrows would be impossible for such a large craft.
Cerelassion looked at the others "I hope those EMP arrows do the job we haven't really tested them on such a large machine."
Lady Aineruda lifted her arm and speaking to the fey. "you sure?" She looked back then to the sky. "Hold your fire untill we are sure this is the Hunter Killer. The Fey seem confused for some reason."

He stood there before the closed gates to Boomtown dressed in Work boots, blue jeans, a trench coat, and no shirt his hair was long and looks to be uncombed and he sport slick style sunglasses. The security guard was shaking his head "I can't let you pass Rotten Luck. It's orders from City hall itself the entire city on lock down no one leaves. even superheroes."
"Yeah yeah machines would attack anything human. But I'm not quite Human anymore am I?" He removed his sunglasses staring down the Security guard with his cold dead eyes.
"No.. no your not but orders are orders not even Citadel is allowed out. No one and that includes you... Sir"
Ron cracked his neck and put his glasses back on. "Fine I understand and your doing a great job if I was half devoted to my post as you are now I wouldn't be like this." With that he turned and leaped away jumping hundreds of yards at a single bound. Landing in front of a fast food restaurant and entered. People gave him a wide path.
He wondered why it wasn't like he smelled all the bacteria in his body been destroyed so he wasn't technically decaying and the smell of rotting meat was from bacteria. In truth his body was now mummied, skin was leathery, and muscles was flexible jerky. But it seems people still respond to him like he smelled like one of the Vahzilok Zombies.
"Ma.. may I help you?" a nervous teen girl asked dressed in the red and gold uniform of the place. "Yes I want 5 Bacon and cheese burgers, 4 Double griller burgers with cheese, one 10 piece chicken Nugget, 10 orders of extra large fries, 6 pies... 3 cherry and 3 apple. Oh and a Extra large coke."
"Yes sir and would this be to go?" Ron could tell she wanted it to be to go. Save the world be on the news and still be seen with fear and dread. "Yeah I take it to go."
Soon he took his meal and left. It wasn't as if he was hated or feared but he was a reminder of their own mortality. Rotten luck the Zombie Superhero was still a walking living dead. He started to make his way to one of the parks to eat not wanting to jolt the flimsy paper bags his meal was in.
As he passed an alleyway the scent of blood caught his attention. "You alright in there?" He asked the apparent sleeping man as he walked closer his eyes noted the pooled blood. "Damn" setting his dinner on a trash can lid he knelt down and looked at the guy crushed face. "Well at least you didn't suffer" reaching into his trench coat pocket he pulled out his communicator and set it to the Paragon Police channel.
"This is Rotten Luck security level 50 I found a homicide victim in an alleyway." "Yes it's a homicide the mans face is smashed with enough force that the back of his skull ruptured." "Transmitting location now." He typed out the location via text.
He returned his communicator to his pocket and then went to his dinner taking out a burger he bit into it paper and all. "Damn brains all over making me hungry... then again I'm always hungry." -
Don't sell your self short Michelle. I'm sure with the funds they get you can do wonders.
They have Teams of workers doing their bidding and spend Years on their projects.
You only have yourself to produce your work and often in just a few weeks. -
So only one person is taking this challenge?
-
It's called Air Superiority not Arial Assault if it's the power I think your talking about. Where you can knock flying foes out of the sky.
And yes you should get the Primary Willpower skills! A Tanker best friend is it's defense your attacks are slower then a Scrapper so make sure you got the Toughness to survive to take down your foes.
IF you like In game I'm @Xavou and I be more then happy to show you a 50 IO enhanced Willpower Tanker. -
Looking for a dumb question and don't see any.
Welcome to the game we are glad you joined us! A Willpower/Dark Melee is the oddball of the Tankers they are almost a Solo tanker. The Melee attacks are more single target and the Armor powers don't have a lot of auras. I got a level 50 Willpower/Dark Melee and I love the build but for TANKING he's not the best.
This said a good built Willpower/Dark is nearly unkillable (thought a good anything tanker is nearly unkillable).
Tanks inherit power is Gauntlet causes the Tanker's AoE attacks and auras to taunt every PvE enemy they affect. Their single-target attacks taunt the enemy hit and up to four more around it. Gauntlet has reduced chances of affecting exceptionally high-rank foes like Giant Monsters, and even worse chances of affecting other players in PvP.
Your the Superman type or more to the point the THING type in the game.
Others have said that Tankers don't often get really good till 22. This is very true and you want to grab some powers from Fitness mainly Heath(14+) and Stamina (L20+). Heck almost every build can use Fitness.
Influence and Villain side Infamy are the game main currency. It what you use to buy enhancements and other items.

Hope I have been helpful and once again welcome to City of Heroes and Villains.
P.S. Enjoy the game don't rush to 50 that the best tip we Vets can give. Take time to learn your Powers and AT. Each AT plays differently and each Power set effects how the AT plays. So Mix match and have fun! -
Nice work! Better then I can do I normally cheat and trace a form from a comic then edit it to match my character.
Constructive criticism thought. Her head and body look fine but the legs seem short for the proportions Might be me I always have trouble on proportions. Her body is appears longer then her right leg. She also looks to have a sports bra on because her breasts looked squished. -
Quote:What Bisys felt wasn't quite what she was used to the energy of the Forest did respond to her request. It was as if she touched something akin to the Earthmother but not quite. Almost like a sister or an Aunt it recognized her just like the Fay recognized her earlier."Great felled trees, charred earth, and uprooted underbrush! I, Prosopopoeiasys, Child of EarthMother, call upon you. You have been terminally harmed, and your loss is mourned. This one is called Akat-Ietan Ariam'n. She too is injured, having been harmed while seeking your defense. She is of pure intent. Please, share your ebbing life-force to ease the suffering of Akat-Ietan Ariam'n so that she may once more defend those that remain standing. Please, do not let your impending death be in vain."
Bisys could also tell that the forest was suffering. It was a long suffering something it was growing used to. The pain of being ripped apart from it's native world flowed in every tree every leaf. The closes a person might feel was the pain after a cramp where the cramp was gone but the muscle still was sore. The forest was also trying to shelter her from that suffering as it offered her the power needed to heal Akat.
Lady Aineruda stood there regal even thought now her gown was mud spattered. Her eyes looked at Edward. "I shall take that warning into account Doctor Edward Johnson. I am Lady Aineruda the closes thing to a ruler here at Rivercrest. As for Mad scientists I haven't met any before but I do know a mildly crazy Alchemist" She glanced over to Cerelassion who had put on his glasses again and was looking at Steve.
Aineruda looked at Edwards gun. "You might want to unpack that thing again. That harvester was just a scout now that the Machines know your here they be sending a Hunter Killer. I seen them attack humans before they bomb the area completely and your the target."
She looked at Paxtera "As noble as wanting to communicate with the machines and make peace I fear they have a shoot first behavior. Perhaps that Toy Dispenser still be able to ... talk with the Harvester but for anyone that the Hunter killer marks as human and the surrounding area I fear it's a Fight or Flight moment."
She took a deep breath "For me this is my home it be destroying trees I sworn to die protecting, I made many hard choices before. I had to let people die to protect those within our boarders. I can not do so anymore I refuse to do so. Their is no place for me to flee to there is no choice but fight it would not take names it would not care about what it destroys to get to it's target."
"I heard the humans say something about a line in the sand. That line was our boarder and that Harvester crossed the line. It went after someone in my protection. That Hunter Killer will be doing so as well." She turned to look to the sky over the waste "I'm afraid Patches has changed me. There was once a Time I would seek peace at all cost. Not any more Peace shouldn't cost lives.. peace shouldn't be handed out to something that was willing to destroy a whole planet of life. Yes Patches has changed me... I learn to hate."
She then looked to the group one by one. "Do what you have to do. Find your peace negotiate with that thing if you can. I would offer any resources you need that I can give. But don't expect me to care about something that turned plans to wastelands, life into tools of death. It crossed a line I never knew I had the only reason we haven't attacked the machines before is we knew with out the might of the Fay we don't have a chance."
"Even that is a very small chance."
Mar the spider
Mar was still a bright neon green with purple highlights... very annoying. He curled up and watched the bipeds talk. "Just so everyone knows I'm not Mr. Fluffers. I am Mar you could consider me a holy man of my kind. The only thing I can do is offer a blessing to the Spinner of life to aid us."
"And can someone please tell me and the Doctor where we are. I fear the both of us stumbled into a nest of fire stingers."
((OOC: Okay that was ... Believe it or not I didn't expect a speech like that it wrote itself! I'm also half tempted to bring in Rotten Luck so there be someone in paragon to play with Liz Bathory! P.S. Love reading your posts Liz! Hmm wonder if Rotten can survive being blown apart... heck being a Zombie would the Machines even register him as human? He has no life signs.) -
Lady Aineruda leaped out of the way as the engine exploded. "That didn't go as I hoped. That person who jumped on the Harvester who is he?"
Standing up she looked to Jade "I never seen a Harvester attack... Are you two alright?" she asked both Jade and Bisys. " I wouldn't have used that spell if that thing hadn't gone for you. Clearly we are lacking information I don't blame the Humans but their knowledge is focused from their own view. We don't have time for you to fill us in going by what we know the Hunter Killer bomber will be coming any moment now. Perhaps the Harvester halted the Bomber to.. collect you?"
Cerelassion rushed to where Akat was touching a bit of the turbine he yelled and shook his hand "HOT... " He looked around and to a Gnome who at the time was jumping up trying to get to the cake. "You there come and help remove this will you?" The Gnome came running up and showing that those little Gnomes were more then one would expect picked up the turbine and tossed it aside as if it was a Frisbee. Of course it tossed it where it wouldn't harm anyone. Once it was clear Cerelassion went to Akat. "Tell me what hurts let me fix you up."
The Archers arrived then and Lady Aineruda issued her orders. "Get into a defensive stance That incoming Bomber would attack once in range. I want those special arrows ready to fire on my command." Then she looked around "The Rest of you I want to be filled in! You seemed to have a plan of attack and because I didn't know it I have sent one of you into the waste."
She looked into the distance "It wouldn't be far just a hundred yards or so but I wasn't focused on landing that thing gently the wormhole would have opened in the air." Motioning a swarm of Sprites and Pixies came down flying around her "My friends I have need of the strongest of you to fly out to where I sent that Harvester and find that brave fellow." A look of worry appeared on the pixies childish faces "Yes I know it's far and you be weakened but it's important. Please be brave and find him."
With that 10 of the Pixies went flying out beyond the forest border looking for Toy Dispenser and the Harvester crash. -
Quote:The Hunter would soon see a group of 2o archers being lead by Lazardarus. They stopped and drew their arrows when Laz yelled "At ease! This isn't our foe look around there is no one else now hurry to those cliffs NOW!"The Hunter shook its upper body in disapproval as Paxtera flew off without even aknowledging him.
'And that other primate even introduced us. Rude.' The hunter sighed inwardly. Had it been paying even the slightest bit more attention, it would have noticed its sensor suite pointing directly at Paxtera. However, for that one moment, it had been too busy insulting the local specie's physiology. The hunter started to wander at random, looking for somebody to point it in the right direction.
The archers nodded and then started to run once again. Lazardarus looked at The Hunter "Forgive them we been having a stressful day. May I help you?"
Mar couldn't do anything more so he leaped down to the ground and went to seek shelter.
Lady Aineruda was very capable of doing something. She moved right in front of Jade's Hiding spot and looked at the machine. "YOU ARE NOT WELCOMED HERE!" With that she lifted her arms chanting a spell.
The spell started to distort reality a Wormhole appeared causing massive gravity flux focused on the Harvester. "BE GONE!" the wormhole would send it a fair distance away but only if it got pulled into the wormhole. Otherwise it would still be affected by the gravity flux. -
Cerelassion came running up with what appears to be a toy sling shot. He loaded a vile of black liquid and fired sending the vile at the Harvester.
The effects was stunning as soon as the glass broke the liquid expanded into a dark gas making it hard for the Harvester scanners to detect anything (Darkest Night). "Perhaps we need to focus on the same spot! You know pound this thing in the same place till the armor fails." He eyed Edward's weapon "What a marvelous example of mechanical creativity."
Mar simply couldn't attack something in the air but he could do something to even the odds. He claimed up a tree and shifted his abdomen and sprayed the Harvester with a good bit of webbing trying to clog up it's engines. (Web Grenade) Mar then looked to the growing group "I do hope none of you desire to have spider for a meal."
Lady Aineruda arrived as well and started casting her magic on the people there increasing there speed (Speed Boost). "Keep an eye out this is only a Harvester there will be a Bomber coming to attack!" The elves have never seen a Harvester do anything but scout so the idea this would change just didn't dawn on Aineruda. She moved to wave at a group of elves on the cliff top. They began to light Bonfires each one was placed a fair distance from the first. The reason was simple for the elves. "Lets hope our plans on repelling these things work."
The fires were soon housing the dangerous Fire fey thought it was true Fire is a chemical reaction the HEAT it generated provided a shelter for the fey who's magical force seem to be fire like. These fey could be very happy in the heart of a sun. (Basic mix of fire blasters and fire controllers.) At the same time the Sky directly over the Forest became filled with Sprites and pixies they flew in wild patterns but clearly swarming the most heavy where the Harvester was hovering. Why weren't they attacking was simple it wasn't a direct threat. The incoming bomber was and the Fey were holding their firepower for that foe. (A mix of Ice/storm controllers and Energy/storm Defenders)
((Added some more flushed this post some when I got home.)) -
-
((Well it seems that Dr. Mechano's Camp is in the same forest as the elves. That means a Hunter going to run into one heck of down draft. I been thinking of ways the Elves would defend themselves against the Machines. However as stated the main Force of the elves are the Feys and they are limited to the forest itself.))
Cerelassion shook his head "This can't be good. The only reason one of those things have entered the forest is it detected something or someone. Perhaps it would be best if it found..."
Seeing Toy take off he sighed "yes save one live to risk thousands... Well seems our cover is blown I doubt the AI Guardian going to ignore us once Toy attack one of it's flyers. I'm going to be using my artifacts on that thing. Let hope they don't have unwanted side effects." He jumped up and rushed outside to where he left his coat and put it on.
Then he was on the run following Toy dispenser. On the way he started whistling a bird call the one he used had a clear meaning to the elves. That meaning was Harvester spotted a human in the forest the elves started rushing repeating the alert as they ran. He added a second set of bird calls informing those in hearing range what direction they were running. At the human refugee camps a head count was started to figure out if anyone wasn't in the hidden grove.
How did Cerelassion know it was a human it spotted? Truth he didn't nor did he know it was a Harvester. However simple logic was that the elves live a low tech level uninteresting to the Machines so it had to be something on the attack list. As far as he knew only thing on the Machines kill list was Humans.
Why he believed it was a Harvester. That was simple there wasn't any explosions yet so it wasn't a Hunter/bomber.
((Cerelassion is a Dark/Dark/Dark Defender build. He's story wise one of the elves on the council so high level.))
On the pathway
Lady Aineruda heard the bird calls as well and gasped. She looked back at Hunter "Seems today is a very bad day for many more then just your people." With that she started to run moving faster then any human could.
It wasn't long before she came upon Ildela and Paxtera slowing down she spoke up again. "I regret to ask for your aid once again. But it seems our peaceful Forest about to be attacked by one of the machines if it follows it's normal behavior. This fellow Hunter is looking for aid from a being called a Kheldian. It seems I lack you outsiders names and species so I don't know who he seeking."
"now if you excuse me I need to prepare for a possible war with a foe we can't hope to win against." She looked up at the trees "The best I can hope is a stand off..." With that she started running again if they follow her or not was up to them.
Dr. Mechano's Camp
Mar rose up extending his fangs when the cake appeared. For him it wasn't DELICIOUS at all he was a carnivore in nature and for him a nice tasty Tusk (Giant Wart hog) that been in a web cocoon for a few days to dissolve was his favorite meal not some ultra sugary bakery.
But his nerves was more alert because of the flying Harvester. "Doctor I fear there maybe a very good reason to worry. We are being watched by something that is not alive.. a machine"
He moved the foreleg from the side with all 4 legs to point in the direction of the harvester. "Over there! My instincts are telling me to run and very rarely are a spiders instincts wrong." -
That only works if the other missions don't have errors.
Put it this way I have 5 mission plan I got the first mission done except for testing. I also wrote the last mission ending.
So out of 5 missions I have 1 and a half done. I can't test till there are no errors showing and all I want to see is if the map I chose for the first mission is what I was going for. -
I know you can move Missions around but I don't have all the missions done.
Well with our expanded amount of room we can have very large missions and Arcs. We need a way to test a Mission with out having to have EVERY ERROR message on every Mission fixed before testing.
Here's what I mean. I am working on a story but get tired or writing and working on it every so often I need a brake. So I don't have it all completed but I wanted to test one of the missions I made. I can't until the whole thing is done.
So could we please have a way to test each mission alone? -
The cabin
Quote:"All life is relevant even if not your personal interest. Given you are seeking someone to risk their life for people they may not ever know perhaps you need to change your personal view. I am Lady Aineruda and I personally take you to those you seek." Aineruda said as she walked into the cabin. "Please follow me. Jastra return to your post." with that she turned and started walking away heading to the hotsprings."There is a being here called a Kheldian, a species of beings who excel at manipulating energy." The Hunter replied. "It is critical that I speak with it. You, your culture, and your lands are entirely irrelevant. You are wasting time, and time means lives."
Doctor Mechano's camp
Mar watched the marbles with those black marble like eyes. "Interesting beings...I will count myself blessed that the weaver of life has allowed me to see so many of her creations."
Still laying down he extended his forelimbs and grip the orb brushing it with his palps he then stuck his fangs into the orb and tasted the surgery fluid as he drank. The sweetness was a bit to much but he didn't wish to insult the strange creatures.
Then something caught his attention he set the orb down and lifted his forelimbs up. the array of millions of sensory hairs collecting information each hair felt vibrations and was used to collect scents as well.
In that odd pose with his legs up in the air Mar was using his legs as dividing rod. He could judge direction. What caught Mar's attention was the vibration and sound coming from the Harvester's engines. "Doctor I am hearing something approaching."
Then There was a sudden flash of light, a massive rush of air, and the sound of rock grinding and crumbling. The earth shook as though a meteor had just hit the ground nearby, and then all was silent once more. Mar shook his hyper senses assaulted by the effects of the impact. "Doctor there might be reason for me to move fast... soon. How long do you think that injection should take before I am able to run?"
Cliff shelter
Cerelassion nodded "Very well Jade you know the place better then I. If I may it seems that when Patches took the waste you were grabbed but somehow slipped out of the dimensional pull along the way landing you in Paragon city."
"Now I think I can help in this venture but first... Jade I need you to make a wish just a simple one. Wish for Bisys to know if she would be harmed by magical artifacts. you could also wish her to be protected but that might be more risky."
"A second wish for you to make would be to wish that only wishes you verbally say would be granted. This would safeguard her and you from further .. stray thoughts. When you wish for something be very direct with what you want the more vague a wish is the greater the chances of undesirable results."
He glances to Bisys "Are those acceptable wishes? I would need my equipment and I don't wish to bring you harm." -
Quote:The problem from a marketing stand point I see for that is... "WOW Creepy spider dude.. who is he what game is that?" no answers nor a way to know it's CoH/V unless you are already exposed to City of Heroes game before hand.On the topic of marketing, I ran into this while browsing around for monitors. Scroll down the overview and you should see it.
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...15&lid=1003767
Didn't expect to run into Lord Recluse so randomly. I like it. Go subtle marketing. Then again, I'm not sure how old this is, so ignore me if I ran into something ancient.
Nice placement but useful at bringing in new players? I have to say no. -
At the cliff shelter
Cerelassion rubbed his chin thinking. "I don't understand the meaning of some of those words so I would use what I understand as a stand in. This AI Guardian is some kind of Super Golem meant to protect but it went out of control. This Program or is that Software? Is the Magic that makes it function. If I had to attack this Golem but know I can't physically deactivate it then I would try some kind of counter spell. Can such a software spell be made to disrupt this AI ability?"
Then he looked to Toy as Toy Dispensor spoke up "And one will likely lead us to the other. If we can neutralize and repurpose this AI's network to our own ends it will provide us with enough computing power and presence to grant a much higher probability of sniffing out the Builders' own node. Just get me in physical contact with one of these Harvesters and I can introduce Hal to how we do things in the Isles."
"So it is possible... Hmm We would need someone familiar with the Waste as it is now. Seems Jade we are going to need to go to the Human settlement and you see first hand what remains of the broken race of the Hetrar. From what you tell me they fell very far from the arrogant paranoid race you knew. However if anyone knows how to avoid being detected by the patrolling machines it would be someone who grew up there." He glances then at Toy and Bisys "However I still think they have enough of that Paranoia to be afraid of you two metaloids... Oh I like that name... Much more creative then Self aware robot."
At the greeting Cabin
The Guard second in command went with the Hunter to the cabin. "Believe me I understand. When we first arrived here we were attack nearly constantly by our Predatory neighbors the Gre'shil. There is only 14 thousand of us left in this patch of forest. I know other races that arrived here that had even less... a few are now extinct on Patches."
Once in the cabin she stood by the door nether threating but she wasn't relaxing enough to sit down. "I'm Jastra second in command of the guard. First thing you should know is that there are two political groups here one are more accepting to outsiders the other would prefer to have no contact what so ever. I had sent for our leader the High Lady Aineruda would be here shortly. Perhaps to aid in your quest you tell me what Help we maybe able to provide."
Doctor Mechano Camp
"I have ... no choice my lungs... are filling with my own blood. Thought it is slow... I will drown on my own life blood if nothing changes my fate. Perhaps... It is the will of the great spinner of life... that you came at this moment to offer that change."
Then Mar's mandibles extend and he brushes the jerky with his palps. "Ug... I can not feed off such thing. There is no moisture to drink and the strange taste... I do not mean to be rude... Just my biology is not the same as yours. Me and I regret having to say ... Mount feed by our fangs draining... the vital nutritions from our prey. Solid food as you digest is incompatible to our... way."
