#316, "Two more dead/retired people:"


          

I found more Immortal descs in my files. Saher and Trouble. Unless I come across a copy of Nighthawk's, I think that's the last of the gone gods I've had the opportunity to see personally. I also saved what Saher's 'Crystal Cave' looked like, where all the way back in February 96 was a minotaur Paladin worshipping Saher.


Saher first:

You squint slightly, and try to peer through the swirl of colors which shroud
the figure in front of you. Noticing you looking at him, the man turns
towards you and gives you a slightly thin-lipped smile. Suddenly the colors
flare brightly, and you are mesmerized by the intricate weave which envelops
you. Then the images begin, roaring, pounding, formed in exquisite detail
inside your mind...
*blink*
Know then thyself, presume not God to scan;
The proper study of mankind is man. Placed on this isthmus of a middle state,
A being darkly wise and rudely great: With too much knowledge for the
skeptic side, With too much weakness for the stoic's pride,
He hangs between; in doubt to act or rest; In doubt to deem himself a go
or beast; In doubt his mind or body to prefer; Born but to die, and
reas'ning but to err; Alike in ignorance, his reason such, Whether
he thinks too little or too much; Chaos of thought and passion, all conf
confused; Still by himself abused, or disabused; Created half to
rise, and half to fall; Great lord of all things, yet a prey to
all; Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled; The glory, jest
and riddle of the world!
With a chuckle and a smirk and a tug of his beard, Saher
flickers and dissipates, leaving an afterimage that makes you wonder
if he was standing before you to begin with, or was merely
an exhibition of your delusion.
Saher is in perfect health.

Saher is using:
<worn on body> Silvery breastplate, emblazoned with a White Wolf
<wielded> (Glowing) (Humming) Wrath of the Illuminati
<dual wield> (Glowing) (Humming) Wrath of the Illuminati
<tattooed> a tattoo of the coursing White Wolf

(and his one line room desc too)
Your light source is oddly diffracted by the Chromatic Knight's presence.



On to Trouble's desc:

At first glance, you lose sight of him, a tall man wearing simple clothing.
Perhaps because your attention is taken up by a rather large and possibly
hungry bear. The bear glances at you and seems to examine you as it
examines a horse or a deer, as a possible meal.

You then notice the wood-elves moving quietly around the bear,
singing and working elven magic with the plants that sprung up
from the footsteps of the ranger you thought you saw.
The bear takes no notice of the wood-elves and they seem not to f
fear the bear.

While your attention is focussed on the bear and the elves, the ranger
steps out of his cover and examines you closely.
His kindly demeanor disarms you and you have no thought of
fighting anyone in his presence.
You do notice that the ranger has little tolerance for fools
or evildoers. You tremble a little when you see his staff,
a legendary sung wood staff from the Ogiers, whom he befriended long ago.

The ranger waits patiently and finally says to you, 'Walk in Light.
Die with Honor.'
Trouble is in perfect health.

Trouble is using:
<worn on legs> (Humming) barkskin pants
<worn about body> (Humming) A cloak made of living leaves
<wielded> (Glowing) (Humming) An Ogier sung wooden staff
<dual wield> (Glowing) (Humming) The Blade of Chaos!
<tattooed> the flame tattoo


(a little more commentary)

I think when Trouble was present in the room you'd see a gigantic bear, just like a normal ranger bear of the time but bigger and scarier. Both these descriptions have survived multiple hard drives, zip disks, and more, so the typos may be from decaying data or they may have been there originally. I have no way of knowing for certain.
