Just want to say that it was a fun little diversion, even if I didn't manage to find my way to the end in time. As if the World Dragon hasn't committed enough crimes, it had to go and distract me, too!
It was still fun eventually figuring out how to reach the final chamber, though, even without a prize. So, thanks Lyneya, for pointing this out to us!

* Zadraes is hushing everyone. *
[The Seacaves of Peri'el, Sandy Beach]
A slab of sandstone, split from the cliff's face and toppled on its side, serves as a small stage. Large branches of driftwood have been dragged near for people who wish to sit. You also see a small path, a question list and a long bench.

Obvious exits: out.
Zadraes exclaims, "Backup!"
Zadraes gets an impish expression on his face, and lets out a hearty cheer.
Lyneya exclaims, "Hello!"
Zadraes says, "Welcome, folks, to July's meeting."
Lyneya says to Zadraes, "I hope you're less loopy today."
Zadraes says, "Only slightly."
Zadraes says, "So, quickly through my announcements..."
Zadraes says, "LTBs are moving quite swiftly right now for the most part. A couple of Loriale's minions have hit a snag, so if you've been waiting a while, I apologize on her behalf. We are working to get the older ones handled."
Zadraes says, "You guys seem to be taking advantage of the swift pace of late, because every time I look there's half a dozen more in there."
Zadraes gazes off into the distance.
>l wik
You notice an odd, almost godly aura about Wiking.
You see GameMaster Wiking, a Halfling Thief.
Wiking has crystal blue eyes. His grey hair is short and straight, and is worn tousled. He has fair skin.
Some ghostly white kittens float lazily around his waist, glowing with a lustrous sheen against his skin.
He has transcended time.
He has a thick bushy mustache on his upper lip and a long tangled beard.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing DEM GOLDS UP IN HIS MOUF, a black spidersilk bandolier decorated with tiny white ghost kittens, an assassin's light repeating crossbow with a folding stock and pistol grip, a reinforced nightsilk greatcloak fastened with a silverwood spider clasp, some faded black combat leathers, a cheating pocket, a fine mesh sling with braided spidersilk whipcords, a shimmering black tabard emblazoned with a ghostly kitten chasing its tail, OH MY GOD ITS A BEAR EVERYBODY RUN, a black mistsilk backpack and a pale grey mistsilk thigh quiver clasped with a miniature rose gold bolt.
Zadraes says, "For those who don't visit the forums often or recently, Tiesse did spill my plans for a new Premium project at Simucon."
Zadraes says, "I don't plan on releasing any great detail of it until it's out, except to say that I'm hoping that in time the area will become a hub of sorts for all things Premium. Your own little subsection of the realms -- shops, hunting, events and more."
Zadraes says, "You guys have had a large hand in its development over the years, but there's plenty more to come as well."
Zadraes asks Lyneya, "You have anything for 'em?"
Lyneya ponders.
Raesh fades into view.
Lyneya says, "Well. Nothing really premium related.. Some of you may have seen that I plan to re-run Payment in Blood, but for Empaths only. That ought to be entertaining."
Lyneya says, "I'm also going to host a very very brief game at the conclusion of today's meeting."
Lyneya says, "Prize still being determined."
Lyneya leans on Zadraes.
Zadraes chuckles.
Lyneya says, "I'll tell you about it when we break."
Lyneya says, "Yeah, thats about it for me. Quiet month."
Lyneya nods.
Zadraes says, "As promised, this month's gift is geared more towards the guys. Nothing says 'guy' like a good punch to the face, eh? I'll have the tent opened up after the meeting."
Raesh asks Zadraes, "We get to punch em?"
Zadraes ponders.
Zadraes says to Raesh, "I don't mind, you can do that any time you want."
Zadraes says, "Some of them like it."
Zadraes squints.
Raesh cracks his knuckles.
Wiking looks at Zadraes and drools.
Zadraes says, "I think that's about all I have for the moment."
Zadraes says, "Ok, Q&A...please keep them reserved to Premium topics. I won't tell you anything about ships, horses or Warrior Mages."
Zadraes just opened the question list.
Lyneya gazes upward.
Abison adds his name to the question list.
Critter adds his name to the question list.
Critter removes his name from the question list.
Raesh asks Zadraes, "Multi room house boats?"
Rainea adds her name to the question list.
Zadraes utters words in a dark tongue!
An oily black smoke sifts up from the ground and forms itself into a black shape you fearfully recognize as a spirit of death.
The spirit of death fixes its gaze upon Raesh.
The death spirit envelops Raesh in its oily black form while Raesh seems frozen in place, unable to do anything as the spirit begins to consume the hapless victim from the head down.
The death spirit's mouth opens wide and swallows Raesh whole from head to foot. Within moments you see Raesh's flesh eaten away until white bones are all that remains. Seconds later even the bone dissolves within the black oily mass of the spirit and there is absolutely nothing left of him.
The death spirit melts back into the ground from whence it came.
The spirit of Raesh sighs softly, raising the hairs on the back of your neck.
Wiking asks, "What if my ship shot horse-shape lightning bolts?"
Lyneya blinks.
Raesh stretches his arms.
Zadraes says, "As long as YOU make it."
Zadraes shrugs.
Zadraes grins.
Zadraes asks, "This big a crowd and only two of you with questions?"
Zadraes gazes off into the distance.
Abison is next.
Zadraes points at Abison.
Trewdo adds his name to the question list.
Fyrresong adds his name to the question list.
Abison says, "I'd like to thank Tiesse for spilling secrets firsts."
Zadraes grins.
Zadraes says, "Simucon is always good for those sorts of things."
Abison asks, "And I'll ask if the premie city is something that will be in a certain place or available from portals?"
Lyneya says, "Oh wait til you see the ride there."
Lyneya laughs!
Lyneya says, "I LOVE it."
Zadraes says, "That's an interesting question. I'll say that right NOW, it's in a fixed place."
Abison says, "And that's all I have."
Zadraes says, "No plans for portals to access it like the Seacaves, BUT...we have more travel ideas in mind."
Zadraes nods.
Rainea is next.
Zadraes points at Rainea.
Rainea says, "I don't really require an answer for this, just wanted to toss out a suggestion."
Wiking says, "I agree. Throw Raesh in the brig."
Wiking nods to Rainea.
Raesh scowls at Wiking.
Rainea says, "Mmm, in a little bit. He's entertaining."
Zadraes glances at Raesh.
Rainea says, "I was wondering if a permanent premium only casino could be considered in this new area."
Rainea exclaims, "That's it!"
Toshiie adds his name to the question list.
Sortny adds her name to the question list.
Lyneya says, "I'll be right back."
Lyneya suddenly fades away.
Zadraes says, "I'll say don't get your hopes up for anything too grand early on. Mansions and upscale stuff is...a very long ways off."
Trewdo is next.
Zadraes points at Trewdo.
Trewdo says, "Hello."
Trewdo says, "I too have more of a suggestion I dont really need an answer too."
Zadraes nods to Trewdo.
Trewdo asks, "Could it be possable to add to the citizenship titles to include town and city names as well as the names of the different lands?"
Zadraes ponders.
Zadraes asks, "How so?"
Zadraes says, "Though, technically, I don't think that's a premi question, so best I can do is relay the request."
Trewdo says to Zadraes, "So that I might be seen as Trewdo of Arthe Dale for example."
Zadraes says, "Ahh, right right. I can relay."
Trewdo says, "True I suppose its not really este holder orientated."
Trewdo ducks his head.
Zadraes grins.
Trewdo says to Zadraes, "Thank you though."
Trewdo bows.
Zadraes raises his hand in a quick salute.
Fyrresong is next.
Zadraes points at Fyrresong.
Fyrresong says, "Just curious if Jisi is kidnapped or just busy on next list? She was going on a streak, and that just ending got me curious."
Zadraes ponders.
Toshiie removes his name from the question list.
Zadraes says, "I'll give 'er a nudge sometime. She made an appearance in Plat recently; may be about time for some more chaos over here."
Fyrresong nods in agreement.
Lyneya fades into view.
Raesh says, "Prizes 1-5: A punch in the nose."
Raesh nods.
Zadraes snickers at Raesh.
Fyrresong says, "Only curious, does such great jobs I don't want 'er to stop. Thanks, that is all."
Zadraes raises his hand in a quick salute.
Zakuro is next.
* You may now speak. *
Zadraes points at you.
You beam!
You say, "I was wondering if it was possible to have more housing clerks? With many new housing areas being released all the time and the ability to have multiple homes on accounts, it would be nice not to have to run around so much to claim a home."
Zadraes says, "There's actually a pretty good scattering of them... HOME CLERKS. We can certainly see about adding more, though. Ilithi needs one."
Samarah adds her name to the question list.
You say, "That was the hole I saw."
You say, "And there's no transfer clerk in P2."
Fyrresong adds his name to the question list.
Zadraes nods.
You say, "Just an idea."
Zadraes exclaims, "Noted!"
>'Also super excited for the premium city.
* You may not speak now. *
This is not an appropriate place for that.
Sortny is next.
Sortny says, "Hey there, in these shops at the project yer working on...."
Sortny asks, "Any of them home shops?"
Sortny says, "I want a place I can buy doors at."
Sortny chortles softly at some secret joke.
Sladen shivers suddenly, seeming less secure.
Fyrresong removes his name from the question list.
Sortny asks, "Or at least have the doors sold at hollow eve festival?"
Zadraes grins.
Zadraes says, "There is at least one home shop, yes, and at least one door in it."
Sortny begins pouting.
Sortny asks, "To buy or just look at?"
Lyneya laughs!
Zadraes says, "We also have some folks working on some 24/7 door shops to scatter around the realms. There's definitely a shortage of them, but we're working on it."
Zadraes snickers.
Sortny beams at Zadraes!
Sortny says, "Thank ye."
Sortny says, "That's all I had."
Samarah is next.
Zadraes points at Samarah.
Samarah curtsies to Zadraes.
Samarah says, "Thank you."
Samarah asks, "The shop in the Premie bungalow of the Strand Communal Center has been closed for renovations for a while. Any thoughts as to when it might open again please?"
Lyneya says to Zadraes, "You know, they're much more well-behaved at afternoon meetings. We should do this more often."
Zadraes snickers.
Zadraes nods to Samarah.
Raesh says to Lyneya, "They just know that me and Wiking are planning to kill them all if they act up."
Zadraes says, "It's in QC now, about half way finished. It should be out by the end of August."
Wiking nods.
Raesh says to Lyneya, "What they don't know is that me and Wiking plan to kill them all if they don't act up too."
Wiking says, "I'm actually planning to kill them all anyway."
Samarah says, "That is wonderful news. Thank you greatly."
Toshiie adds his name to the question list.
Zadraes nods.
Toshiie is next.
Zadraes points at Toshiie.
Toshiie confidently says, "Thank you for now allowing me to speak."
Toshiie confidently asks, "And.. Have you ever thought of putting a home clerk in the Sea caves?"
Zadraes says, "Yes, but it's very unlikely."
Fyrresong adds his name to the question list.
Serindifity adds his name to the question list.
Deaglan adds his name to the question list.
Zadraes says, "We really don't want the Seacaves to be a hub. It's an oddity, a sort of subspace pocket that has no real place in the game. I don't like it, and I wouldn't be overly sad if they vanished entirely."
Zadraes says, "And I know a lot of you don't like that thought."
Zadraes says, "So I'll say that right now there are no plans to make them go away."
Zadraes grins.
Raesh asks, "Just fill them with man/'dillo eating sharks?"
Raesh asks, "That walk on land?"
Zadraes says, "But, as evidenced by some of the LTB releases -- tattoos for example -- we are trying to scatter things around the game now, and trying to avoid adding to the Seacaves."
Wiking says, "It is shark week...."
Lyneya exclaims, "SHARK WEEK!"
Toshiie confidently says, "Also.. Going back to Wiking and Raesh saying they will kill us if we dont act up.. or if we do.. I wouldnt really care if they did kill me.. as long as Wiking gave me his crossbow as a prize for being killed."
Zadraes snickers.
Toshiie confidently says, "So.. Kill away.. if I can have his crossbow."
Wiking exclaims, "This is the crossbow that your crossbow wishes it could have. MONOCLE SMILE!"
Lyneya asks, "Starting tomorrow, right?"
Toshiie confidently says, "Well.. I do belive it is my destiny to own such a fine weapon.. so I'll go about anyway of obtaining it.. or one like it."
Kathlen adds her name to the question list.
Toshiie confidently says, "And.. that is all from me."
Fyrresong is next.
Zadraes points at Fyrresong.
Fyrresong exclaims, "Home brings me to just a small suggestion. On a one verb entrance and exit to a locked estate. Tis all, I remember using real keys and glad they are gone!"
Zadraes says, "Hullo again."
Fyrresong says, "That is all."
Zadraes asks, "Rather than unlocking, opening and going in, you want to just ENTER home and do it all at once?"
Fyrresong nods in agreement.
Fyrresong says, "Exactly."
Zadraes says, "Hmm."
Zadraes says, "We'll see about it. Lots to consider with something like that."
Serindifity is next.
Serindifity asks, "We have premium banks that we can acess our money from and pay fines from could we have the option of a citizenship office placed in there as well?or at least an office where we could remove our citizenship?"
Serindifity says, "That is all."
Zadraes ponders.
Zadraes says, "I really don't know much about the citizenship system, but I'll put it on the list of things to investigate."
Deaglan is next.
Deaglan says, "We were talking about home registration offices. Is there any way to place one in the palace of Ratha? The one on Aesry is a pain to find."
Deaglan says, "That is all."
Zadraes makes a note.
Zadraes says, "We can certainly look into it."
Zadraes nods.
Kathlen is next.
Kathlen says, "In regards to Homes. I'd like to commision a cabinet maker to extend my tiny wardrobe. The current one only holds four gowns. That's not a wardrobe, that's a shoe closet. Which brings up another good point. A bigger wardrobe, with a drawer for shoes."
Zadraes says, "Home storage is an interesting topic."
Abison adds his name to the question list.
Zadraes says, "They were never meant to be vaults that can hold lots of stuff, and have always been extremely limited in the number of things they can hold. There IS some wiggle room, but it's not an easy thing to do. It is something I've looked into and have plans to work on in the future, though."
Kathlen says, "Interesting as in, maybe. Or interesting as in, I don't want to hurt your feelings but it'll never happen."
Lyneya chortles softly at some secret joke.
Kathlen nods.
Zadraes says to Kathlen, "Depends on how big of a 'closet' you're wanting."
Zadraes grins.
Wiking says, "Dangerous question to ask a woman."
Kathlen says to Zadraes, "5 gowns, with space for accessories."
Kathlen says, "A drawer to hold slippers or garters or other small things."
Zadraes quietly says, ""Accessories", of course, means 5 pairs of shoes, 5 sets of earrings, 10 bracelets, 50 rings, 10 anklets and no doubt more."
Zadraes gazes upward.
Kathlen says, "Ideally, I want space to hold one whole outfit in my home."
Zadraes nods.
Lyneya asks, "You wear 5 gowns at once?"
Kathlen says, "No, but the five gowns was a guestimate."
Zadraes says, "We'll look into it, but as I said, they were always meant to be pretty restrictive."
Lyneya grins.
Kathlen says, "A corset, a skirt, stockings, garter, slip, shoes, hat/scarf, cloak.."
Kathlen says, "It was a thought."
Kathlen nods.
Wiking says, "Bleh. Some rags, some warpaint, and a loincloth, and we're good to go."
Lyneya nods to Kathlen.
Lyneya gives Wiking a little prod between the shoulder blades.
Zadraes snickers.
Kathlen asks Wiking, "If you're going to kill us all anyways, can I punch you in the mouf once?"
Zadraes laughs!
Wiking says, "Back off my grill."
Zadraes says to Wiking, "That one's soul is going to be toast."
Wiking says, "You'd probably cut your knuckles on mah diamonds."
Abison is next.
Abison asks, "There was talk by a GM of making the Pejek Bog more work like a regular area with a greater/different spawn. That still in the works?"
Zadraes says, "Tiesse's project, I believe, and yes, she still plans on working on it."
Abison nods.
Abison says, "Thanks."
Zadraes points at a question list.
Zadraes asks, "Last chance -- any others?"
Zadraes casually observes the area.
Hangren adds his name to the question list.
Hangren is next.
Zadraes points at Hangren.
Hangren says, "Hi there."
Raesh says to Wiking, "You're overdressed with the warpaint. All you need is a smirk."
Hangren says, "Was wondering if you might add character portraits to the LTB item list, or perhaps something like that. Ive noticed its been long since Ive seen any portrait work."
Wiking strikes a heroic pose.
Hangren asks, "Perhaps an ability to upload ones on portrait work for approval?"
Zadraes says, "Getting portrait support in game is not easy; I'm honestly not even sure if it's still done. We'd require onsite's help to do something like that. I can ask about it, but it's not something I'd get my hopes up on."
Hangren says, "Something a long the lines of the atmo work ya know, massive ammounts of LTBs and a good months work."
Hangren shrugs.
Hangren says, "Just an idea."
Zadraes says, "I'll do some asking, no promises."
Zadraes nods.
Zadraes exclaims, "Ok, that's it!"
Zadraes just closed the question list.
Zadraes says, "Thanks for coming everyone. This was a fun one, lots of good questions."
Lyneya says, "If anyone wants to play a quick game, meet me by the keg in like 5 minutes."
Wiking gazes at Lyneya.
Zadraes says, "I'll get the gift tent opened up shortly, and yes, game players should tackle Lyneya."
Lyneya says to Wiking, "You can play if you want."
Zadraes exclaims, "Chaos approaches!"
Wiking says, "That usually ends in me passed out naked on the floor."
* Zadraes is allowing everyone to speak now. *
Afterwards we went on a GM hunt in the maze in the Seacaves for Lyneya. First person to find her won an alteration. Hangren won with Drevid coming ina close second.
I then spent the next 3 hours having to learn every nook of the maze; it was a blast.
