trying to figure if Masugatan/Dne quit

In reply to Narrator (msg # 891):

Confusing me too, part of the reason for the post above...to work out who is still going where.

Awesome job on posting all the armour and details, too! Thanks.

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 892):

that was Evileyore

In reply to Narrator (msg # 893):

Masugatan/Dne or the posting of details?

The dets.  I (evileeyore) play Jareth, Jednesa, Stenet, and the returned to her tribe Troll Witch Ülo.

I've got two characters (Ardenas and Mario) currently in the "Specialty Shop" thread, though I presume the Juniors will split off on their own again sometime soon.

I read Masugatan as saying goodbye, since Dne abandoned the idea of spending enough points to take him as an ally or henchman.  Not sure about Dne, the last post I read from him might also be interpreted as abandoning the game, rather than just abandoning the idea of playing both characters, together.

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 896):

Can Dne heal? We seem short of healers, despite me playing two! Can make a third, but we seem lacking in threads for that...

I am sorry my group.

That not the nice picture Rosewood painted.

Sometimes asking why not best idea.

:}~

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 898):

Oh that is fine. You can kill them all and I will send them back as zombies...will likely be months before anyone notices!

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 897):
I could create some healers.

In reply to Chye Isuel (msg # 900):

As could I, but I already have characters there!

I'd say give it a day for Dne to have right of refusal, in case Dne is a cleric type...

From reading the threads he was in, I don't recall seeing any indication Dne had a priestly side.

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 903):

Dne was an air infused wizard.

Rosewood  is apologizing for a critcsl failure that remains unseen; it is always best to get your info from two sources...


We really need to look at clerics individually; some are not intolerant inquisitors,  some are.
Need a healer? Check the guild. You may get a gnomish alchemist with a rack of healing potions and alchemical fire, or a pacifistic healbot, because the only pc healer is Dareus Madrigal the dark one priest of Yig Sethyg.


Much fun at work with new medical software  yipee!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 904):

Looking up roman god of healing... i get this!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 905):

I was actually thinking of one of those two healers...

New medical software, I sense the sarcasm even through the ones and zeros!

Ah, that Greco/Roman healing god is still recognized today.  The staff with serpents that has been the symbol of the medical and apothecary trades for centuries is his.

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 907):

Actually it predates him to the time when Moses put the snake on a pole, and those that looked to it were healed.  By taking that position in the Dark Ages, early doctors were able to avoid the 'evil' association with alchemists and were actively encouraged by the church at a time when research was frowned upon.

Good to know, Marie, er, Christine.  ;)

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 908):

Nope. Tireseas was walking through the woods, saw two snakes mating and hit them with his staff, and was immediately transmogrified into a woman. Seven yeas later, Tireseas was walking through the same woods, found the same snakes copulating and struck them with her staff, and turned back into a man.

Therin lies the caduceus.

Zeus and Hera were arguing about who had a better time having sex, men or women, so they asked Tireseas, who knew both sides.
They said "stick your finger in your ear. Which feels more, the ear or the finger?"
Hera, realizing she was being shorted of a good time struck Tireseas blind.
Zeus, a little chagrined, found out that he could not undo Hera's curse, and as a consolation, gave Tireseas the ability to see the future.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 910):

Where is the connection to medicine?

Ignorant USAins who mistake the Caduceus for the Rod of Asclepius.

In Europe they properly use the Rod of Asclepius.



The Caduceus was the staff of Hermes and is later (medieval times*) connected to higher learning, in particular Alchemy*.


* I blame the Egyptians, particularly Imhotep for conflating Thoth with Hermes Trigmestus and thus getting 'science' mixed into the portfolio of the God of Thieves, Sailors, Ranchers, and Merchants.

[EDIT]
Yeah... if you want to know stupid trivia about Alchemy, ask the resident alchemist.

Ok for seekers of the flame (aka christina travels to learn how to become a pyromantic diviner)- group needs a healer,  a finnesse/social engineer, and/or a stealth person. Dragonmen feel free to jpin.

Also seeking a body for Against the Mageguild;  we have F/M/T could use backup

Already running 5 characters, so as tempting as it is to help out I'm likely not the best choice.

[Private to Bechazruhk Burke: Hey, Aegis could use a healer in his group if you think you can swing it.  Or I can offer you Aegis and make a healer type up if you're interested in participating in the thread.]

Only 5? ... heck, I'm running 11 myself and suspect there are others with that many or more.
