Jiomar tells you 'Make your way to the tree to assist me.' *** I tell him I'm coming from the monks. *** Jiomar tells you 'Hurry up. I'm already in Prosimy.' *** One tick later. I'm on eastern. *** Jiomar tells you 'Report your location.' *** One tick later. I'm near Arkham. *** Jiomar tells you 'I can't wait for you.' An Immortal tells you 'Hi. You're going to need a new name. Please 'reply' with another choice.' *** I get to the Tree but can't group with him. I'm also out of mana and moves from running to meet him and having to sing the refresh song. *** Jiomar tells the group 'Heal me.' *** I heal him twice, until my mana shows 0% to the whole group. Even him. Then I start roundhousing the Huntress. *** Jiomar tells the group 'I gave you an order.' *** I tell him my mind is drained. He flees. *** Jiomar tells the group 'Get out.' *** Huntress was convulsing and I was at full health. Circle stab ftw? Guess not. *** Someone tells the group 'You should have come prepared. You are disapointing.' *** #### you, you wanted me there NOW. Ass. *** Jiomar says 'Aye, my Oath is stupid.' *** We've rested for 2 ticks. I'm up to 29% mana. *** Jiomar tells the group 'Heal me now.' *** He gets pwnt by the Huntress and has to flee. *** Jiomar says 'I did not tell you to assist.' Jiomar says 'Get out.' Jiomar says 'You idiot.' *** This goes on for a while. Nexuns kill the Huntress, Jiomar blames me and leaves. *** *** I stick around, Nexuns kill the Spirit and the Codex is recovered. Later... *** Necare joins your group. Jiomar steps out of the shadows. Jiomar says 'Learning?' You nod. Necare nods. Jiomar now follows you. *** Yeah, wanted to be like "Go learn yourself, instead of with us idiots." But I didn't. :P *** Jiomar says 'Just kill it.' <75%/100%(75%) 80% 50%(50%) 2802 civilized 9 PM tipsy Comedic standing> sing anthem You sing 'I laugh in the face of adversity, I chuckle as the face of death grins!

Jiomar says 'that was my mistake, I was distracted.' *** We rest a bit. I give a piece of gear to Jiomar. I wake to tune and catch this: *** Necare says 'You meant to knife the oath...?' Jiomar says 'Excuse me?' Jiomar says 'I don't believe I said that.' Necare says 'Oh' *** Uh huh. *** *** So we kill a few more things and really do screw up and walk us into a black rook. *** Jiomar says 'You are an idiot.' *** Necare flees the unlucky way... *** Jiomar says 'Yep. You killed him.' Necare tells the group 'One more wouldn've ranked me' *** Gah. Necare doesn't know the way there, so I go to Galadon to lead him back to his corpse. *** Jiomar tells the group 'Oath, you are totally, ridiculously useless in all occassions. Necare, if you wish to travel, catch my ear. The Oath will only get you killed with his attention.' Necare tells the group 'Er.. okay.. could you take me to my corpse please?' Jiomar tells the group 'I believe he is willing to, yes. Least he can do.' nof play You no longer accept followers. Necare stops following you. You now accept followers. You beckon for Necare to follow. Necare now follows you. Jiomar tells you 'I assure you that you won't get far in the Empire.' *** Got a little farther than you, biatch. :P *** You tell your group 'Apologies for that.' Necare tells the group 'That's okay, friend' You tell your group 'If you wish to travel more I'd be willing. Or you can join...that one.' Necare tells you 'I'm afraid I must rest now' *** A while later... *** Jiomar tells you 'A missive has been sent to the Council explaining in careful terms your uselessness to the Empire. I have also suggested that you be given a chance to learn from your mistakes. I suggest you take that same advice before you are spoken to about it.' *** Zubei (Elite Blade) asks me to explain the whole retrieval thing to him. Guess Jiomar's gone beyond just the Council. :P *** *** I explain, Zubei says he's satisfied. But I'm still considering deletion *** *** (name fail, bards are *hard* (whine), and that mean Shadow is not being nice... Then: *** Jindicho tells you 'Greetings oath' *** And life gets better shortly after. Powerleveling with bard/muter, getting gold, chest of inebriation... *** *** Guess things turned out ok in the end. :P ***
