It's a severed arm holding a candle that's burned out. Everybody chill.
Hand. Totally different.
Everiine said: The reason population is low isn't because there are too many orgs. It's because so many facets of the game are outright broken and protected by those who benefit from it being that way. An overabundance of gimmicks (including game-breaking ones), artifacts that destroy any concept of balance, blatant pay-to-win features, and an obsession with convenience that makes few things actually worthwhile all contribute to the game's sad decline.
Cyndarinused Flamethrower! It was super effective.
@Rancoura for her amazing help with my new custom beast. And by "help" I mean she did everything.
(SHORT DESC) - Grokus, the ghastly grimtoad
(LONG DESC) – Bulbuous crimson eyes greedily eyeing everything in sight, Grokus, an undead grimtoad, drags himself around the area here.
(EXTENDED DESC)
The bulk of this massive, toad-like creature rivals the height of an average igasho, its girth measuring many times as wide. Its body appears to be in an advanced state of decay, what little of its remaining skin hued a sickly greyish-purple and scattered with black blotches and unsightly, pulsating warts. A vast variety of wyrden flora has taken root within its undead flesh, feeding off what little nutrients may be sucked from its deteriorating tissues; amongst a scattering of stygian roses and molted crow feathers, all manners of fungi thrive upon it amidst a bed of spongy moss, along with a myriad tangle of razor-thorned vines that drape over its bulging flanks. Huge, bulbous eyes of bloody crimson glare from atop its head, fixing random things within its field of vision with a ravenous stare as though attempting to decide whether or not to eat them. The sheer bulk of this mostly decomposed amphibian is so immense that its normally powerful legs are unable to muster the necessary strength to launch it into the air; instead, it crawls sickly along the ground, dragging its bloated, distended body along and tearing off bits of rotting flesh in the process.
(ENTER MESSAGE)
Grotesquely dragging his immense girth in from the $DIR, Grokus, the ghastly grimtoad greedily eyes the area.
(LEAVE MESSAGE)
With a sickly, gurgling croak, Grokus, the ghastly grimtoad drags his massive, bloated body towards the $DIR.
(DEATH MESSAGE)
Sickly ooze and blackish blood leak from the massive, lifeless body of Grokus, the ghastly grimtoad here, his bulbuous crimson eyes empty and unseeing.
A horde of beings swarms about Your bulk. They are diverse in shape but are, without exception, horrific to look upon. Claws and teeth without number flash across Your vision, and nebulous masses of compound eyes and writhing tentacles and spindly antennae all twist around You. With the merest thought, You open wide Your maw and lazily swallow one.
Bonus points if Celina pays credits to change her grimtoad 's attack to vinewhip or razorleaf.

Sadly, unless something as changed, I was told changing such messages is not allowed at this time. Ignore me. It was beastmastery skill messages that I was told, not attack messages.
Special thanks to one cinderfly. Sorry. I was too tired to make things that interesting for you. Your story is just alien enough to make quick answers rather difficult. Much food for thought there.
The dark crystal of this unusually shaped vial coils thrice in a thick, elongated spiral. The crystal is infused with the essence of pure shadow, which swirls hypnotically through the elegant curves of the container in a mesmerising dance. The coil itself is hollow, allowing it to be filled with any liquid which may then be sipped through a slender, tapered spout at the top of the coil. As a final touch of tenebrous elegance, a sleek, black silk ribbon has been looped around one segment of the coil, allowing the vial to be hung from a belt. It has 100 months of usefulness left. It weighs 2 ounce(s). There is a teardrop sigil firmly attached. It is linked to elixir vitae. It has been stamped with the seal of The Crowquill Bookbinding Cartel. It has the following aliases: vial, elixir, potion.
Whoever designed this. So pretty.
The apple is cold, crisp, and sour as the juices fill your mouth. As you consume the fruit, you glimpse, for a moment, a massive, shadowy figure, Her snow-white hair framing a perfect, icy-eyed visage. Beneath you, a vast, perfect web of silken strands lies - and, for a moment, you realize that you too are part of it, weaver and strand both - and home.

For @Eliron, wow, you're delightful to talk to IG.
Edit: Spelling mistakes are dumb.

A new dawn arises as you begin your duties as the Sohei of the Eternal Deception. In a glorious blaze, the Malign Fang of Deception appears above your head and descends into your hands.

Raves to @Lyora for showing me who likes chicken, rping with you is always fun, to @Phulbelishi for being willing to talk things out, to @Crek for handling Avurekhos doing the revolt. And to @Qliphoth for trying, that matters. And the newbies in general for asking questions and trying to figure things out.......
Thanks to Kalliste, Qoivhae, Aekatli, and Daebach. Special thanks to Darvellan who seems to be able to be both straightforward and surprising, and to Penderglass who plots not just charts.
