I'm kidding.

Sorry Kenzi.

That was just disheartning. I hate empowerment.

Moving on.

I can admit I got a good laugh out of that post title.

Yeah, I have no idea what happened there but it made me remember why it's highly important to have people prove they are into their character. I could have seen myself drop many hours into immteraction with this character only to see him delete on the first hardship.

I was slightly irritated.

But I'm not inclined to invest -any- effort into a empowerment char at the chance of being utterly ignored by some whim of yours or another.

That is to say, I don't think I should have to invest 50 hours of my blood sweat and tears on the hopes that you'll type empower mychar somelevel.

I find that slightly irritating.
(PS. I didn't know this char, but that is just what I thought when I read the thread)

My understanding is his religion is about facing adversity and hardship in some manner or another. Not some OOC decision that Thror's player wants people to have a difficult time, but that when you want to be a Priest of a God who encourages people to face hardship...well, doesn't in make sense there would be challenges involved, and that you should probably not follow such a God unless you find accepting and overcoming challenges enjoyable? To me, I'd liken it to running 8min miles, and challenging yourself to reach 6min miles. Is it hard? Yeah. Pain in the ass for all that training? Yeah. Rewarding when you make your goals? Hell yeah.

I'd like to know.

Haven't seen much from Thror's religion. Had a few empoweree's over time.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Seems like common sense right?

Then Kenzi threw dust and got herself killed.

I didn't feel like waiting around for empowerment on down the road so I figured pull the plug.

I don't understand. Did you not see that you were empowered during that interaction? You were actually empowered rather graciously considering how well you were preaching Throrism.

I was actually kind of curious why you didn't go practice your abilities shortly after the empowerment.

I didn't see an echo or anything. I don't even think there was anything on Score EXP.

I thought you tasked me to clear out the keep with the party intact in order to get it.

So when that happened, I figured, you'd be obligated to make me wait a couple rl days to get it and I didn't want that.

I feel dumb.

Right when I touched your forehead. I also gave your groupmates some loving for being your cheerleader during the interaction also.


Oh maaaan.

I'm telling you. Good RP and entertainment from any character is going to get good immteraction from me. The effort has to be there however, and I felt like you were giving it to me. Thus my comment, I could have easily dumped hours into this character due to his potential but part of the core of my religion is taking that full loot, that xp hole, that defeat and rising up stronger from it.

I just missed this. Sorry man. Thanks for the interaction though.

Thror touches your head lightly with his stubby hand.

A Long Corridor
You are standing in a long, barren corridor. Quiet noises can
be heard echoing from an indeterminable direction, distorted by
their multiple reflections off the gray stone walls. A torch set
into a sconce gives off dim, flickering light that can barely
illuminate the area. The corridor continues both north and south.


A set of black leather boots sits here.
A visored helmet made from black iron rests here.
A black cape made from wool lies here.
A rather unadorned black breastplate lies here, without an owner.
A black spear of very simple design has been left here.
The severed eye of the dungeon guard lies here.
A black shortsword of simple design has been left here.
A small nondescript scroll lies here.
A handwritten note lies on the floor.
A black cloak lies here, forgotten.
A small cake of unleavened bread lies here.
A tall, gangly emu stands here clawing the ground idly with a long talon.
Kenzi is here.
