1) Vindur gong adepts at 80%, however, it seems to fail far more than 20% of
the time with max. int and luck stats. What else determines its casting
sucess rate?
Reply:
This one will be a multiple choice answer.
a) The amount of time you hold down the enter key. It's a complex formula.
b) We aren't going to give direct answers in this column to game formulas,
puzzles or secrets.
c) Your mom. Yes, it's all about lineage.
2) Class balance is very important but very difficult to achieve in Realms as
the usefulness of a character is greatly determined by the situation.
Nevertheless, some classes are often cited as needing improvements to strike
the 'correct' balance. Which classes do you think require development in
order to strike the 'correct' balance?
Reply:
In my personal opinion, I would rank my top three as: cleric, augurer and
vampire. A quick consensus poll of other CoE members concurred.

Sometimes it can be hard to decide what class to try and play as a deadly.
Maybe it's your first deadly or maybe you're bored of your current class. In

Intro to Role Playing/terms:
Role playing is an art form that is highly creative and challenging. Most
dedicated players take RP to the highest form possible. They do their best
to be expressive in both actions and words as well as interacting within the
RP community that will enhance RP for everyone and inspire the creativity
of others. Many contest there is nothing like a good RP scene where all are
able to join in and add to the scene in a constructive manner.
This is designed for those who wish to learn how to RP on RoD. Please
keep in mind that these are not rules set in stone but merely a guideline to
enhance and help promote enjoyable play.
RP or Role-Play. Involves making a character and playing that character much
like an actor/actress on a stage. All actions, says, thoughts, emotes,
whispers are realistic for the character that has been created.
IC or In Character: Keeping all emotes, socials, says, whispers, etc. as
the character not as the real life player behind the character.

_______________________________________________________________________________

_____________________________________________
/ Role Playing Dictionary - Prina and Falennt \_______________________________
|_____________________________________________________________________________\
OOC or Out Of Character: This is where the 'acting' is left behind and the
character now reacts as the real life player. Considered bad form to
interrupt a scene with OOC unless asking for clarification of what is
happening. Even then its best to use a tell if possible.
Blending: Mixing IC and unnecessary OOC during an RP scene. Considered
extremely bad form as it tends to destroy the illusion the players have
created.
SL: Story Line: A story that has been planned in advance, much like a
script. Each RPer involved has been given a defined plan of action. The
plot when played out accurately comes to a predefined ending
FF: FreeForm: Play that has no direction. All players interact as the
scene develops. While there is no set SL to follow there is, however, an
RPers creed in effect.
FF SL: FreeForm Story Line: A SL that has a basic outline, a basic ending
to strive for, but each player is given the freedom to act out how this
ending is arrived at. This form can be very challenging for new players.

/ Role Playing Dictionary - Prina and Falennt \_______________________________
|_____________________________________________________________________________\
Power play: When a player plays in such a way that he/she will never
lose, never take an attack, or plays in such an outrageously impossible
manner that it effectively stifles further play of that scene. Also when
a player's emotes and actions control not only their own character but
establishes the outcome for other players.
Player: The real life person behind the character. (Any and all references
to the player are OOC.)
Recap: To give a replay of the most recent RP in the event someone has
missed posts. It is considered polite to ask if they wish a recap.
Lead: An action that is designed to lead the other players and further
the flow of play in its intended direction. It is considered acceptable for
the player who has introduced a particular RP scene to have the right to
lead others. Leads are subtle and not to be confused with power plays.
Character Development: Many find it easier to RP when they have their
character defined before they begin. Race and class can limit your RP so choose
carefully. IE Drow are "usually" considered evil. A description, personality,
any quirks of habit are helpful to give your character life. Finally, a
history should be constructed for depth and believability.

What is in the eye of the beholder?
Beauty so they say...
What I regard as beauty is not what you may regard as such.
What is not in the eye of the beholder is what cannot be seen. When you look
at me you might consider that my attire gives me a somewhat ferocious
appearance. You may be knowledgeable in such armours and know the path I
have chosen is evil. What you cannot possibly know is the intent of my will.
So, the rant is about the intent of evil, my will to do evil deeds.
I look out in the lands that I travel for pieces of armour that might enhance
what I already wear. I find that most of it comes from kin that I need to
betray, most likely kill, and then plunder their stores.
What infuriates me about this is not the demise of one of the legions of
darkness, that doesn't trouble me in the slightest, there will always be more.
The matter is this. Upon my final blow, that sends the wretched soul reeling
back to more torture, and torment, in the dark voids of the underworld. I am
lorded as a hero, and made divine by some degree!

Whilst this is not a troublesome matter in the fact I cannot purge the piety.
I can easily shrug a claim for my immortal soul by the powers of the divine.
It troubles me by two aspects. Who judged I should be made divine? Does the
malicious way I killed, to pillage, not factor in the deed?
I assumed I would be judged by my deity, Lachte. I serve to promote chaos, and
in the greater scheme I reflect the will of Ba'al, to obliterate all those who
seek to raise the banner of light.
I can tell you exactly what is in my eyes, it is not beauty...
For you, and your level of understanding, it is the merest hint of the
infernal chaos you will go through.
You will see it in my impassive gaze, as you look into my eyes searching for
some hint of mercy to abate your death.
You will feel the effect for an eternity!

**Dark spots litter the following pages, as if someone had spilled
something on the paper, or someone had been crying while writing.**
The last time I wrote I was about to make my escape, or try to at least.
As you can clearly tell I did not succeed. Even with the help of an
unknown man I could not escape this place. Right as I was about to pick
the lock to my door someone stopped next to it and whispered to me. 'I
will unlock the door for you, but you must hurry. When you get to the
doorway do not stop, our guardian is there and he will stop you.' I did
not get a chance to thank the man because by time I got outside the door
he had vanished. Remember his insistence on hurrying I began to walk as
quickly as I could with my candle still being lit. I do not even know how
I managed to navigate through the maze of catacombs and hallways, but
somehow I managed to make it up to the front door of what seems to be
a rather large mansion. I was just about to turn the knob to the large
doors when I felt a prickling along my skin, a feeling so cold it made me
shiver. Slowly I turned my head to look over my shoulder half expecting
to come face to face with someone, but to my huge relief I did not.
Frowning I gripped the knob and turned it slightly, as I was about to slip
outside I felt someone grab my shoulders in a viselike grip and throw me
back inside the mansion. Somewhere in between the time I was at the
door and the time I hit the ground I had closed my eyes, and I realized
this when I opened them to find myself staring into the most malevolent,
red eyes I have ever seen. I would have let out a blood chilling scream if

it had not been for a hand as cold as death, but as hard as stone covering
my mouth. Tears slowly began to fall down my face because I was sure
that I was not looking into the face of the guardian to this house and its
inhabitants. As sobs racked my body I watched him trace one sharp nail
from my neck down to my stomach. 'Now, now little one. You were
told what would happen should you ever try to escape. None leave here
unless I am given permission to let them go, and I was not told you could
leave.' Another sob escaped my muffled lips as he laughed cruelly.
'Now I get to have more than just a taste of your precious blood, I will
take every last drop.' I quickly closed my eyes again so I would not
have to watch his mouth's descent towards my neck.
**The writing abruptly cuts off, and several small drops of wax dot the
last page.**

So overall the OOG Golden Shield seems way more useful to neutral and evil
characters, and has no restrictions other then anti-good. I've always wanted
a Golden shield, ever since i started playing this game. Alas, it was OOG
before i started playing. I however recently obtained one in an eq trade
that involved some very nice gloried eq. There seems to be no quality
shields to replace the golden shield as of yet, but the father time shield
is nice if you need acid resistance or are devout.
All in all, it seems rod has neglected its single wielders for far too long
Seems to me that some new shields or even held items are in order, which
might become available about the time cleric sects or paths come in.

Pixie's Pwnt the Powerful Players of PK!
----------------------------------------
Tis the talk of the town now, or did you not hear?
That pixies are ruining PK, we fear.
Their small little bodies have gained a new skill,
To help all the weaklings survive in Pkill.
Aside from the fact that they fly with no spell,
They've now got another great story to tell.
For with their new power, our strikes cannot hold,
Since three tenths more dodge has made them so bold!
Now what shall we do with this menace we face?
Perhaps cut their wings off, or delete their whole race!

About quests and questing!
So I wrote my first quest for IGQC and good lord, you might think it's an
easy task. Throw a few mobs here, give them crazy programs there and find
suitable areas for all of the above! Nuh uh, not so much I tell you!
I'd like to applaud the Imm's in coming up for quests on a daily/weekly/
monthly basis! Kudos to all of you...figuring out the themes and building
alike!
Here a few tips for the questing cleric, it's not set in stone by
all means but it helped me along the way for sure!
What to bring:
100 heals/mana
5 million gold coins (for repairs)
a few spare gutbusters and recalls (just in case!)
Useful spells:
minor invocation, holy sanctity, mass invis, divinity, indignation,
fortify, lethargy, unravel defense, benediction, burden defense and
your cure spells!
The most important ingredient is this though: FUN!!!
So enjoy yourself! :)

The Guild of Vampires would like to welcome Schnyck, Demello,
Mellisandre, Ashtaar, and Thren to our ranks as full fledged GoV members!
You guys please see Orugan for your coffin numbers, and any other needs
or questions you may have.
Also recently we said goodbye to two of our very well liked members,
Tinani who had almost completely retired from the realms but still logged

GoV wishes them both well in all their RL endeavors and hope to maybe see
them again one day! Even as we said goodbye to those two we have had a couple
of our older members come back! Radu, Glubose, and we've even seen the
infamous Babui around more! We would also like to wish Kriru a
very happy belated birthday! It seems her birthday was at the beginning

Peaceful Dwellers of the Realms,
The deranged Emperor of Exordis summons you to test your skill in
the dark realm of the PKillers. You are challenged to look beyond the
tales being told by those too fearful to walk the shadowy path and
take the leap into the esoteric realm of the deadly players.
Be it your taste for adventure, or desire to stand above the blood
covered corpse of your fallen foe, the world of PK should prove more
than worth your time.
Our mighty leader, Tim was banished for expressing his distaste for
the corrupted ways of our deadly political system, but shall soon
return to regain his seat and lay rest to all those that played a
role in his exodus. Fear his return...
While new inductions are welcome, current members are reminded to
keep sight of our clan board, for all members who fail to update
their membership shall be outcast to walk alone in the ruins.
Siporta, our dear Deity, has been promoted to the rank of SAVIOR!

Butterfly Numbers Greatly Diminished
While the indigenous breed of butterfly has finally arrived upon Irrybis,
barely in time for Faradome - the summer Solstice - their numbers are not
even one tenth of what was expected. The cause of this great reduction is
unknown, as is the cause of their delay in arrival. One thing is for certain,
the strangeness with the shadows has been ruled out as not a factor.
Strange Shadows Plague Irrybis
Several reports have been made pertaining to a bizarre phenomenon with
shadows. Some Elves have claimed that the shadows are acting as living,
near sentient beings. There have been a few counts of a strange language
spoken upon the breeze, the only discernable words being "Shalandir
nos folos". The meaning of these words is unknown, but any with
information regarding this phenomenon are requested to contact Tari Annale
or Elear Israfel.

Increased Security Measures Employed
Recently, Megiltura Sotei and Tari Annale have increased the security
precautions around the Island. While most of these measures have not been
disclosed, the most obvious is the re-posting of the Guard Palinor. He has
adopted a new post upon the mainland. Any friends to the Elves who wish to
visit our fair Island are requested to present their tokens to Palinor upon
the mainland, otherwise they will not be granted passage upon the Tinu Elena.
Olympics News
Some minor difficulties have set the Olympics back by a few weeks, but they
are still underway. Any and all Elves are encouraged to participate! Let's
bring home the Gold! Keep an eye on your local Nation Board or National

Hello dear friends! I am unhappy to report that news of how the Pre-Olympic
Gala went will have to wait until next month! Unless of course I can find my
little pixie friend Philippa, and then I will have her fly as fast as she
can to reach Darkhaven before the CRY is published so that you all can see
how things went! Unfortunately I have not see Philippa in quite some
time. I grow worried about her, because she may get a little distracted
but it is not like her to not show up for an interview! I am thinking of
writing the new Pixie King again to see if she has shown up yet. At
any rate, I look forward to seeing everyone at the Pre-Olympic Gala
and of course the Olympics themselves! It is bound to be a wonderful
time! Good luck to all the Nations and their participants, don't forget
to get a good nights rest and a nice hearty breakfast before the Olympics!
Forever in the service of her people,

Coming soon the Nation's Olympics. Watch Nation's related noteboards for more.
Dateline Barren Peaks - Castle found
Volstagg, the catacomb dweller, led an expedition into Barren peaks to find
the fabled Lost Castle. Using fragments of parchments, written in long lost
tongues, researching ancient tales and lore of the Lost Castle, it has now
been claimed to have been found. the Lost Castle is the abandoned ruins of
the Castle of Rol Na Feinne. Early reports are said that the castle has been
looted of anything of value. There is still much to learn of this place.
Dateline Southern Mountain Range - Artifacts
The ancient ceremonial arrow, discovered in the Southern Mountains, still has
not yielded and clue as to its origins. the odd shaped arrowhead and colorful
plumage used show unique craftmanship. Reward is offered for information.

No Rain. Lots of sunshine, intense heat and dying crops. The Vale was seeing
terrible drought and even the mages were at a loss. Even they could not
produce the rain needed to save the crops. The fountain in the town square
had gone dry the week before and so, the gnomes were resorting to fetching
water from the small trickle the stream outside the vale had become. Many of
the older gnomes had collapsed from exhaustion, leaving it to the younger
generation to now carry in the water.
Finally, carts were rigged with harness and a few goats were used to pull them
to help bring in the water. Some of the crops would survive, but most would
not.
Farlina would have to soon decide what would be done to supplement the stores
for the coming fall and winter. She would have to contact another nation,
something she was a bit disinclined to do, not because she didnt like the
other nations, no, she just didnt trust many of the tall-walkers.
Perhaps first she would write a missive to the Pixie Nation and inquire there.
Hopefully there were not in drought as well.

The only info I have on the recent IOQ hosted by Ascendere is that Inconnu
came 1st, and the Dragonslayers came 2nd.
The DS IOQ has already been handed into Siporta and Destre and building of
that quest has begun.
MaidenStone is to host the IOQ after DS and Arcanes will host the IOQ after
MaidenStone. Both Orders should begin to build their IOQs and have either
Siporta or Destre approve them. Hosting an IOQ is a duty of all Orders in
the IOQC and therefore the Order responsible for hosting the IOQ should
ensure that the quest is handed in when it's supposed to be.

Questers had to find slips of paper with poetic words written on them,
scattered all over the Realms. They then had to use those words in a poem of
their own creation, between 4 and 10 lines long. Poems didn't have to rhyme,
and didn't have to be good...they just had to make sense, and have only one
"found" word per line.
Thanks to everyone for playing! I loved reading and hearing your

Living in the TROPICS,
I do not take SUMMER lightly,
because this is when the SUN shines brightly.
To lay on the BEACH and enjoy a drink,
it's so hot my ICE melts in a wink!
I take a breath and look into the SKY,
and to my surprise I lay here to die,
in a pool of my own BLOOD.
The light fades away and the SNOW begins to flurry.
Garenul
O i love my SUMMER holidays
Everything i do makes me HAPPY
DANCING around next to the bonfires
And swimming around in the lake's WATER
Sunbaking out under the HOT sun
Setting up CAMP under the star filled night
Making sandcastles on the yellow sanded BEACH
O how much fun a HOT summer holiday can bring.
Taeshir
The sun tried to shine on a summer day
But the rain clouds hovered in a DEMONIC way
The FLOWERS waved with a flowing sway
I put on my SWIMSUIT by the bay.

The "puppy" ran and ran and ran
Along the "hot" streets he ran
To see his "nice" master
Through the lake the pupy did "swim"
In waters cold as "ice"
But no master did he find
Within forests like the "tropics" the puppy continued
Across sands hot as "fire" he plodded
All to find his master in the red "blaze" jacket
Petrograd
In the tropics,
summer has arrived.
It is hot.
In the sky
is the burning sun.
Leaving the beach,
you enter the tropical water.
You start to swim,
as the water soothens your skin.

Meldrew
There once was a small little "rabbit",
out in the "wild".
One day he wished to "cool" off,
so he went for a "swim",
in a "pool" of sludge.
Immediately, he "regret" it,
longing for the comfort of "home".
Scared and lost he finally found his mother,
who led him by the nose,
and used a "fan" to help him clean up.
Rikkath
A Nephling ran around the "mud"
"Singing" while he quested
His heart a-"flutter" at the thought of glory
But then he hit a rough patch
He thought he was almost bested
He dropped his "light" in Morgul Vale
He stubbed his "toenail" in Dunhill
But never fear, that wont impact his ability to "frolic"!
Time for him to go enjoy the "summer" weather
With his trusty (and delicious) sidekick, an "Enchilada" named Jorge!
Iohannis sings
'Our lives are filled with Wild color,'
'much like a Kaleidoscope'
'As Water gives us life,'

He lived in DEMONIC times
He was leaving his HOME
Where all the FLOWERS were long gone
He was walking towards the SUN
Looking for an ANGEL
An angel that had left the SKY
Left the sky to SWIM through the ice
The ICE of theese dark, cool, demonic times
Leaving their homes, walking ... swimming
Everone was sucked into these realms of despair
Anonymous
My friend Gonnil and I, We love to hangout and CAMP
we have fun in the SUN, and he makes smores like a champ
we LIGHT a fire, and tell ghost stories in the dark
about BLOOD and guts, and monsters that eat body parts
in the light of the BLAZE, nothing is more frightening than he
he has poor personal hygiene and really needs some work done on his teeth
we put the fire out with WATER, and get ready for bed
as he sleeps Gonnil's drool forms a POOL, that flows from his head
ifs a good time, that's as heterosexual as it is mild
after all there's nothing wrong with two dudes sleeping together in the
WILD is there?

gifts. "A small gift with a blank tag waits for someone to pick it up."
I'm not sure what was inside the presents.
Efrum was quoted saying, 'As soon as I had my max of four presents, I
recalled and turned them in, taking some cake to commemorate the quest.'
Alot of people participated and many of them handed in 4 gifts. Most who
didn't manage the max. hand in started late/had to go early. The order

1) Meldrew (Asc) 11) Zolof (3) (RB) 21) Efrum
2) Petrograd (Asc) 12) Rikkath (GoN) 22) Akacia (1) (Arc)

Destre hosted a Snapdragon quest on the 16th of June. The snapdragons were
throughout the realm but there weren't many of them. Kills were slow and
melee didn't land much. There was also significant EQ damage and repairing
between kills was necessary. The max. hand in was 4.
The only 4 to hand in max were:
Prithvi (Inc Thief) Foria (Fathomer)
Petrograd (Asc Warrior) Tensana (DS Fathomer)
Liches attempted to invade New Darkhaven on the 24th of June. Bulgroth
hosted the quest and Avatars ventured into Ashen Forest to kill them. The
liches were evil, and so the spell protection was helpful for defeating
them. They had venom shield, other standard shields and casted blindness.
The fastest to finish with max. were:
1) Prithvi (Inc Thief) 3) Foria (Fathomer)
2) Petrograd (Asc Warrior) 4) Tensana (DS Fathomer)

Once a lush forest with birds chirping high in the air and oceans of green

shaking their barren treetops violently in the strong wind as if they cursed

The July issue has been published abit later than usual as the hobbit
got sick from eating too many pies and drinking too much alcohol whilst
relaxing in the summer sun. The hobbit was also waiting for more content
for the July issue- thanks for coming through to everyone who contributed
to this issue.
The hobbit is also very glad that CoE is answering the questions posed to
them. TS should reason their proposals in the same way!! Lots of proposals
being generated by TS too.
I would like to thank Petrograd for supplying the information
to write the quest news. People generally enjoy comparing the performance
of the different questers. Email fiebin@hotmail.com if you would also
like to supply me with quest information, or, you could even write it
(no fakes please..).
Now go hunt Badrol down!

I hope everyone enjoyed this month's issue. The highlight for me was
the entries for the Poetry Quest held by Akael and despite the
groans and moans about poetry writing on quest channel that night,
I was pleasantly surprised to find that many of our players who
participated were extremely creative and some entries made me laugh.
Indeed, a quest does not always have to be about mob kill and finding
objects. Finding the core of creativity in your being is a wonderful
and fulfilling inner quest as well.
Cheers and keep reading!
Falennt
