no moar summaries at all?

k


Summaries are an ingenius invention!- they are a significant contribution to and advancement in the technology of power RPing. Your attempts at undermining them and driving us back into a horrific age of summary-less darkness must be punished severely - we will send you to the rovaick and inform them you are a heretic.
Right. I DEMAND THESE SO-CALLED 'SUMMARITANS' WHO ARE POSTING 10,000 KHARACTER SUMMARIES BE PUNISHED! OFF WITH THEIR BLUDY 'EADS!- FIRST AMONGST THEM: CYCLONE.
@Frettzo@Antarctic Termite The Astarte-Tira post was a very enjoyable read (somebady finally went nooorth. Whoop) but I think there might be some confusion about the geography and the location of things. So, best clear that up.

Now, as of the Vowzra deathpost, the Gate is no longer at the top of the Solitary Mount but somewhere near the roots of Old Bark-Skin, Jvan changed its location:
And in a still grove under the shadow of Old Bark-Skin stood three cracked stones, which had been broken from a single source, and yet found each other again. At the painted border they leant on each other as one; From that triangle fluttered a single cherry blossom, and the sound of a lute.

There a little white spider spun its web between the stones of the Gate Unguarded, and listened for the footsteps of those who would wander and find peace.
Towards the End of the Deathpost


You guys made mention of the Guardian Restored, who is indeed very close to the Gate. But he grew out of the bark orb that Vowzra created for Slough, and which Belru later made into her holy site ('the Orb'). That orb was definitely not at the top of the Mount ^^'
That said, the location of the Oath of Stilldeath is described as:
In front of the Gate Unguarded silently rose a pillar of white porcelain from the ground. It ascended from the stone as a sharp cylinder, fifteen human arm-span fathoms tall and three fathoms in diameter, perfectly smooth, and inscribed with red Tounic calligraphy that read in a helix from the top of its length to the bottom.
When Toun Wept

So somewhere in front of the Gate beneath Old Bark-Skin.

Now, I don't want to trouble you with rewriting that part of the post - I could potentially write a post that alters the position of the Gate, Oath, and Guardian to the top of the Solitary Mount (something something 'RETURN THE GATE TO ITS RIGHTFUL POSITION' something something 'SO IT WAS, SO IT SHALL BE AGAIN.') but I'm not entirely sure if the Oath of Silldeath is moveable. @Muttonhawk@BBeast


You may not have noticed, but I have been watching Minus' development since I read the episode with Mafie (WHICH WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU - EXPECT A PM ._.), and I must say Minus/Mira's development and storyline has been very nicely executed. Maybe I'm a bit of a sucker for thing romantic and tragic (maybe >.>), but I honestly did not understand why you were so uncertain of the story. Obviously we can always do things better (there were definitely aspects of the Shaqmar-Layla arc that I would have liked to do differently), but we are necessarily constrained by our limited time and energy reserves. This Minus arc has been perfectly respectable, moving at points (the part where Cinead first saw Minus dancing moved me for instance). At this point, I've almost forgiven what Minus did to Mafie (ALMOST. I HAVEN'T.)
I was actually really quite tempted after reading the first one or two posts in this arc to just skip ahead and read all the posts in one go, as they were interesting and relatively self-contained, before going back and reading other peeps' posts. But I didn't and kept reading every in order, tempted as I was not to.
I agree with you that Cinead was perhaps the least developed of the three, but at the same time his time spent speaking with Minus and hunting with Mira gave us some insight into his character. I'm sure you could have delved more into the situation he found himself in, but I didn't feel it took away from the arc as a whole. I certainly believed that he loved Mira (the fact that he noticed her smile for instance and loved that about her speaks as much about him as it does of the beauty of Mira's smile). It was also made plenty clear that he can be headstrong to the point of idiocy XD
I rather liked Ingra - even in the posts where there wasn't much focus on her, her sass came through (her watchfulness, the way Cinead spoke to her, how she didn't fall for the Mira disguise as easily as Cinead).

Overall, definitely a beautiful arc that can be proudly put up there with all the other fantastic arcs Divinus has pumped out. Look forward to seeing what the future holds for these three :)
That post where Lazarus is trapped in that demiplane...

who the hell is the one who spoke in tildes? Is it that one sculptor, from that time Teknall was telling them about alchemy, who kept going off on poetic ramblings? And was The Blazing Fist of Those Who Must Obey the Law of Ancient Greek Platonic Conceptions of the Perfect Heads of a Perfect Polis Otherwise He Will Beat You Up With his Level 8 Powers and Bash You With His Very Unhappy-looking Mask summoned out of the demiplane and onto Galbar?
Civilisations without a god-king of some sort were under risk of being subjugated by those who did.
A Teknallian Observation

Shet.

@Bright_Ops just wondering about Farxus' Xerxes holy site. Does it attract the Cursed? As in, on an emotional or instinctive level? Or is it merely hearing of it and the promise of safety and bliss that is meant to attract them and cause them to head to it?
I only ask because Oradin-Thulemiz has set up some kind of 'homing beacon', or necromantic 'summons', that impels Undead and Cursed alike to take up the journey to the North. Was wondering if the Xerxes site functions like that
Aaaand the title of 'Funniest Post in Divinus' History (SO FAR)' goes tooooooooo - roleplayerguild.com/posts/4516329
