Hi all,

I am sick and tired... no not what you think I will keep my live for now.. :P was referring to a very bad case of cold that took me out of action for the past days. So this time this is as much a report as it is a set of instruction on stuff to do that I should have mailed separately in the past days, for replies pls use the already established mail threads.

Aleema QUA Selket issued an AWOL notification to several members of the house. this is basically the last step, last chance so to speak, before a request is made to move you out of the house and clan and to the rogues list. Please use that offered chance to give a sign of life... else good bye!

Galthain might be very soon going that path as well. Multiple calls for raising activity have fallen onto deaf.. or maybe even dead ears. So salute here to Vessicant and Saraii, our sith still holding the fort!

One of the problems... ok seriously now... our biggest problem as a clan is the lack of really active members, some of the people who join this place for some reason or the other just stop being interested and simply die not even responding to the welcome mails sent to them. Now you guys and gals who have read so far , are certainly not of those, you do see that this place can be a fun place where you get to know nice friendly people and play a couple of good mp games and that no longer restricted to SW, as can be witnessed by the D2 guild that we have etc.

So what I am going to do is the following: I am offering you the chance to earn yourself a DC for recruiting 2 members , and a SC for 5 members. The key here is not to have 2 people join the clan and then die but to make the people see what you see in this place, and understand why you like it. maybe then we get a chance to have people willing to be active here.

Aim for people you know in real life first, those you can harass long enough without repercussion to join us here :P, nah just joking, try to introduce people to the DB and the different sorts of activity we have here, including all the non SW related items... make them have a look at the DSC... just get us active people! :)

And remember, with more active people around run-ons can be actually fun! :P

So you want those medals you know what to do.

The clan system thread stopped for the couple of days I was away... so what's up? And for some strange reason or the other, the only one has in no way replied to it at all is.. Selket! :P

Ok, here is what we are going to do: with Maradis making that excel sheet that would automate calculating of stuff, I will be removing that as a work option for the teams, leaving to them the more creative part of creating the descriptions.

Maradis pls contact me so we can finish this bit of work together.

Brat and Vess you were the first team, how far did you come with planets 7 and 8 ?

mKel and Saraii you were team 2 I was going to send you that mailto introduce you and stuff, but never came around to it before my cold struck. So pick a couple of planets to work on.

Alaric said he prefers to work on his own and as I see you are still a member of the clan, so you are still a member of the team, soooo pick up a planet and work on it!

Selket say something!

REMEMBER: All involved in the project reply to the thread that we have been using so far, do not reply to the report!

Last but not least this month's run-on, as per my last email I had 2 full teams.

Team 1 :

Bane

mKel

Nikko

Team 2 :

Arso

Vessicant

Waza

and upon my call for more participation, Saraii and Dalthid replied. so

Team 3:

Dalthid

Saraii

XXXXX

XXXXX stands for the nice person who will mail me soon and say s/he will join the third team before I throw a fit and call the lot of you who didn't reply "Ass Monkeys!". For the sake of the clan's honor and pride I hope I will be seeing a reply soon... maybe enough replies to have a 4th team even ! :)

The rules for this one are easy, I will give you a starting location, a number of items and a goal, all are the same for all teams.

You will do your posts in a runon.txt file that you will circulate around the three of you in emails. Make sure to mark your posts with and put a separation line between it and the post before it, also you are not allowed to post 2 times in a row.

that's about it for rules, with each team being only three I hope you can organize yourselves to so there is no confusion about who is going to post next!

Also as you will note you will have enemies and there are a load of traps, so you will be going about this similar to an ACC fight, you will be realistic in your adventure and in what you will do, and yes you can expect to be hurt badly during this adventure! :P

The shuttle flew very low skimming the tops of the trees using the high stone walls of the ravine to avoid detection and untimely end of the mission.

The heroes inside the shuttle were making a last check of their equipment, two lengths of rope each 20 meters long, two flashlights each with enough power to give 30 minutes of continuous lights, no recharges, 1 grappling hook with special gun to shoot it, 6 stimpacks utilizing Bacta for accelerated wound healing and pain suppression, though not effective against broken bones. Also there were two shovels, a backpack filled with food, water, coffee and the newest Grisham, not to forget their light sabers and most important of all the "Talisman of Darkness".

The talisman is said to be the only thing in existence able to blind the "Eye" but that only for a few minutes no longer.

Their objective was to retrieve the fabled "Eye of Tanaaris", a fist large black diamond of unearthly beauty and powers imbued into it compared to which the powers of some Jedi masters pale.

Created by Sith Master Tanaaris millennia ago to aid him in his battles as well as his research it hasn't left it's pedestal at the center of Tanaaris' study on the top floor of the Tower for as long as memory go, and after all this time it was only due to a stroke of luck to hear of it at all.

Apparently those who knew of it's existance and were foolish enough to risk trying to recover it met a gristly end on the grounds surrounding the tower or deep inside it, the others wise enough to recognize their inability to claim it thought it better to keep quite so to reduce the chance of someone else succeeding where they failed.

According to the old tome the Eye is the heart piece of the tower's defense systems, though old and to an extent primitive they remain very deadly, through it's ability to sense presence and location of people in it's vicinity recognizing the dark side in them, their fear and their greed and setting in motion a number of traps, activating force powered guardians, though not force users, their metal claws would have no problem cutting through any kind of battle armor, and with the cortosis coating they would be able to short circuit any lightsaber.

The worst of all would be it's ability to create illusions that are so powerful they would affect reality, so basically a projected rancor would devour a person in one bite for real. The good thing is this ability has quite a small range and you have to be in direct line of sight from the stone for it work, and no it is not about you not seeing the stone, but more of the stone not seeing you that would save your skin.

The most disturbing thing contained in the tome was a hand scribbled note suggesting it is very likely for the wizard who has disappeared so long ago, to actually have been successful to transfer at least a part of his essence into the stone, meaning your foe is not as dumb as a stone but actually posses at least basic intelligence.. if not the full cognitive capabilities of the old sith!

The shuttle disappeared out of sight, they were dropped on meadow as close to the tower as the shuttle could fly undetected, now all that lay between them and the tower grounds was the "Forest of Voices", legend goes that who ever walks in is lost, either you never return or you come back a mindless wreck that lost it's soul.

So close and yet still so far, our heroes start their journey towards the forest!

that's all have fun with the run on guys,
