Ghosts from the past... UO:Stones (Crotchfires, Limericks & Mugshots now included) #Storytime.

You have an Eternal Crotchfire?!

- - -
LET THEM COOK!
- - -

"There once was a Crotchfire lit,
Immortalized down Avadon's spit,
With the theft overlooked,
Of Raven's stolen book,
The animosity ended with it!"

After an illustrated book was stolen (the text didn't mean much)... we settled our differences over a Crotchfire.
Multiple fires, a centipede, Six Sosarians long, with a gate on either end, the trip between being called "The Journey" , to which we both partook.
- As an aside: Pax 'may' have that book in his possession, though it had nothing on the Qamrasutra.

Sosaria meets Dungeons and Dragons:

"With the stary nights sky overhead you see something illuminating the cobblestones with both warm and cool light, to the east of the Skara Brae bank. Not being able to quite make it out.. further investigation will be required. The smell of what could be bacon is wafting through the air. Choosing to go for a closer inspection you find six dismembered bodies - arms, legs and head all removed - aligned in a lattice structure, their crotches all on fire, with a Gateway upon either side... You can only assume the first gate leads to the second by the amount of footprints trampled through the viscera... A dark blue bloodstained book lays at your feet with a title that reads:
"The Journey" written by "a Smooth Criminal."

Sincerely,
ObsidianKey

Oh! had some practice today on the crotchfire song, Unsolved mysteries: Intro + Conan: Anvil of Crom + Castlevania: Scarlet Night.
Scarlet night does most of the heavy lifting (it'll be something special)

Tramnanigans... Oh' tell me these still happen!? Have missed a few volumes of Hype... Six it would appear.
* Is there a Dragons-Den // Dolphin Tank - type idea - of Billionaire Veterans that still throw contests like these?
(maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but when the times right)

Never could catch him!
Can't forget that blasted Pockets either, some thieves back then were very wily.

This is for a friend who requires convincing to join... the old fashioned way!

"A 'valued customer' was clearly at hand,
Sir 'Killic' was looking for MEN,
He trailed an accordion,
Of the MEN who now followed him,
Cover your ears on the shores where they land!"

- - -
He had asked about life:
- - -
One day turned into many days spent over a season digging a hole... by hand.
Not just any hole, a quadruple wide shoulder deep, first day dlc included - bog filter additional hole having, beautiful double mini-waterfall trickling, Garden Pond of a hole.
This was for a friends wife's hobby-dream. They said "we have to pay you something" to which I refused the $catch.
They insisted... yet, I countered with: "I've enjoyed hearing you play the piano, I've seen a nice two pedal one on Used™ for free, if somehow by someway it was to end up at my place..." (2022) Years later these pvp trained fingers are dancing. *could do with some music theory, can't even name the keys correctly on demand.



* Gardening anyone!?

Sincerely.

Behold - the Eternal Crotchfire!

This is amazing! Poor guy didn't just take 'The Journey' he's eternally taken the 'Long Haul'.

* Labeled too!
* Is the head named?
* If not the brigands will have something to deliberate over.

- Snappy outfit, "Outlands Does what RenaiDon't".

Ahh' Stormwind...

What was/is the fate of @Erza Scarlet ?
I would be interested in finding a companion like this one.

Tough as nails, always willing to put up an honest fight, and a companion willing to place your livelihood above their own.

If anyone dost know of a guild like Stormhold, or Knights of Sosaria that may take on the likes of a Deputy with a penitent for charred man-brisket.
Please let me know. (RP-light preferable)

I don't think the head is named but those chests in the broken wagon actually spawn brigand looking clothes, sometimes shoes or boots. It's down the road from our "pissin' pond" where you can walk in it and we haze new recruits by making them go in the pond and tossing purple potions at them haha

Erza is/was there in the brigand guild but haven't seen him in years

Best you DANCE Brigand, DANCE!

* Then I may have to go it alone, or... Maybe someone else wants to join the ranks?

If so... training is troublesome, only near the end.
Kalil the Thief Guildmaster of Ocllo likes to move around.
He'll leave the main bar into the back room, or he heads outside and around the western end of "The Albatross",
leaving sight of your macro for what could be hours.



The trick is to get him stuck on the eastern side of "The Albatross", you may require a few TOP MEN for this.
* boxes would work as well. But there is nothing that MEN can't handle.
His pathing never takes him around the building he's happy staying within a few steps of this location.
* side bonus: you can then switch to Anatomy on the detained suspect.

* Auto-follow Kalil works much easier than any of this, but but... be assertive! you ARE the LAW.

Become a Deputy today! May the light of the Crotchfires you'll be rewarded with guide your path.
Because let's face it, thieves have a terrible loot table.

* UPDATE: I've encountered another undercover agent.

Sincerely,
ObsidianKey.

Thieves of renown:

Faceless... the Jack of Shadows! @ChaoticNeutralAntiHero , very cunning indeed and dangerous.
Mage thieves were always a handful - very deadly brand, especially ones that knew how to weave through the streets! But he was more than that, he was fun, fun enough to attempt to sell you hormone pills in Alex Jones fashion whilst offering you a boxing match between haystacks on the streets of Skara.

Dangerous... @Bayara how many times did we bout?
Damned spear and fork, I still feel the poison wracking my veins. I don't believe I ever did get to light up your nethers'

@BlackEye , ahh now this one was different, a helpful thief, another fun one, but he always kept his status cleared - no chance of crotchfire.
Another one of the speedy little blokes that knew the streets.

- - - - - - - - -
Has most of the fancy folk banking in the Event Center changed the game for you?
- - - - - - - - -

There was one other, a very scary thief, mage, tamer on a nightmare. That fight was wild, ended up focusing on the Nightmare.
I would always get scolded for using Deadly Poison, try to save it for ones like this one or another of Faceless' ilk.
* decided to spare the mare, and have a conversation with the suspect, turned out it was his first day back in years and he arrived in town to get jumped by the law. He'd forgotten to check his status.
* Gave him the shakes, we agreed it was a good thing to get the pvp-shakes. The suspect was let off with a warning.

This time around there will be no DP.
Just good old fashion Shillelagh Shenanigans.

Thanks lads.
Nothing like getting dropped by a Bass Cannon.



"There once was a Cannon that shot Bass,
Get smacked by one for the gate to get past,
These resist events aiding,
New characters in the making,
Get there quick for the reagents don't last."

"How could my mind be at ease,
Without the best defense against thieves,
A thick suit of plate,
Of a 'Grandmasters' make,
With 'Plot' on my side, they'd best roll up their sleeves."



Love that 'Plot' Armor.

"Gather your companions, tis the gods that we face!"

It's happening...

* A Primary Lesson: RED / BLUE / YELLOW


"Sosaria was once had generic players,
Now arriving in three different flavors,
Their torches now lit,
In Ocllo they sit,
Awaiting the start of the chaos!"

Sincerely,
ObsidianKey

"There once was a lass name Grace,
Who's Valorite helmet had covered her face,
Carried a vanquishing axe,
Pointed at those whom she passed,
That had blocked her way to the bank."
