Why does each cabal guardian yell Intruder! Intruder! X is raiding the "cabal"?

I've always thought that the maran guardian wouldn't think of his home as "the cabal" but as "The Fortress!" and the giant outside the village would yell that someone is raiding "The Village!" and the captain would yell "The Spire" and the Huntress would yell "The Refuge!" and so forth and so on.

I think it would add a nice touch and I don't imagine it would be hard to do, mmm?

nt

I would even stretch as much to say make it more unique than intruder intruder, ect.

(Tribunal) Captain: CRIME! CRIME! The Spire and the Law itself is under assault by (*enter name*)!

Something like that?...except with more class?

Throw some more out there, I'll see if I can get this turned on somehow.

(Ok, ok, the scarab ones were more for humor)

hrm, for some reason the word 'name' surrounded by brackets was removed from each line. It should be pretty obvious though where it was supposed to go in each bit. Also, I had the cabal name in brackets before each line as well, and that seems to have been removed. I think you'll be able to figure it out, but just in case, it goes

battle
fortress
tribunal
empire
outlander
scion
scarab

Certain brackets are used to input code to the message, so post as plain text if you wish them to show with their contents. I have replaced those brackets with apostrophes here.

>'BATTLE' giant: War! Battle! The slave to magic 'name' has

My thoughts on the giants yell:

T0 WAR, BATTLERAGERS! 'name' is raiding the Village!

battleragers can be replaced with brothers if the Village Imms choose to do so.

If the Scion guardians started calling me a fool and a lackey, I would probably go kill them.

They are yelling about the attacker, not at you. The original yell is "Intruder! Intruder!", which is a description of the person attacking your cabal. I kept with that and had the yells be in reference to the attack, not the defender or defending cabal.

But the Fools! Lackeys! part in it can also be seen in it to refer to Scions. That was my first interpretation as well. Perhaps replace it with single Scions! or Scions! Scions! In this case, it can be confused, so there are two alternative ways to make this (yelling about opponent, or calling the own cabalmates to defend.). Either he calls the others, but I would rather keep the clear Intruder! Intruder! than put in fools, lackeys, which can have two interpretations. The end part was quite nice, so there is some usefull stuff there.

I think most of these would be an improvement over the current message if you just took out the "blah! blah!" part. It just sounds kind of dumb with that in there, in my opinion.

... things a little different but I liked Odrirg's, especially the
Maran one, so I'm gonna rip off a few of them from him.

Maran Tar'abal: To Arms! The foul forces of Darkness have
assembled, and (NAME) seeks to defile our sanctum!

Watcher: Gather your strength and strike true! (NAME) has
breached our walls and seeks to tear down your home!

and an alternate one...
Maran Tar'abal: Sorry to interrupt your gear gathering, but
(NAME) has approached the gates of our home!"


a shadowy Nightwalker: *you hear a hissing sound followed by
a struggled attempt to speak* {NAME)... invades... us.

The Archmage of Eternal Night: Hmph! (NAME) has reached the
Shroud and foolishly tests the power of the night.

and now for the alternate ones...
The Archmage of the Eternal Night: Interesting. A-MUSE-ing. (NAME) is attacking the Fold. *dark chuckle*
The Archmage of the Eternal Night: Got lackeys?


A massive giant: Bring the war, Villagers, and defend your
huts from (NAME)!

The Destructor: The enemy has entered our Shrine, Villagers!
Show (NAME) how a real war is fought!

and now for the alternate ones...

A massive giant: Them stinking mages destroyed your Village
once, lad. Don't let (NAME) do it again!
A massive giant: Now's your chance, gang (NAME) laddie! Even
if Ordasen's watching you won't have to think up an excuse!


The Vanquisher: The enemy (NAME) has breached our Centurions
and now attacks the Palace!

The Imperial Prelate: (NAME) has approached the Throne! Hone
your faith, Citizens, and show this insolant scum the will of our
Lords!
The Imperial Assassin: (NAME) has approached the Throne!
Now strike from the shadows and slit the throat of our enemy!
The Imperial Blademaster: (NAME) has approached the Throne!
Bear your blades to rid us of this worthless pest!
The Imperial Warlock: (NAME) has approached the Throne!
Destroy this fool and lay waste to his damned soul!

Captain of the Special Guards: A new duty has arisen,
Tribunals! (NAME) is attacking the Spire!

The Executioner: (NAME) has approached me seeks to fight
against the power of the Law!

- Kazadan

I like the alternate ones, heh.

One thing, for the Tribs:

When someone intrudes into the Spire you could have the healer say something like: Sound the alarum bells, Tjok has intruded into the Spire!

And then you could have an echo go out through Galadon and the Spire of bells ringing wildly, summoning the guards to defend the Spire. I realize it wouldn't aid the Tribs for this, but it would be cool. You would put a limit on it, of course, so you don't have it going off 8 times per tick...
