This is the first in a series of lectures entitled 'Ainandil explains it all.'
Our first customers, ahem, victims, are Warrior Mages. Warrior Mages, being, well, vermin, like to abuse a bug called 'familiars' to track you down when, for example, you're AFK, but there's an easy way to handle this.
1. Huldah's Pall. If you HULP the average Warrior Mage, what you have on your hands is a Bard who doesn't sing very well.
2. Confound Enemies. Confound Enemies, according to the data I have at My disposal, doesn't do a hell of a lot against ranged attacks (I cite Milli on this). However, against magical attack, it is nothing short of a mitzvah. Once you put Confound Enemies in your Osrel Meraud orb, the only Warrior Mages in town who's going to give you much trouble is Galain. And he's scripting, so he's not going to bother about a little Cleric like you.
Tip: don't use held mana. Osrel Meraud is there for a reason. Work your MD up -- it ain't hard -- and keep Osrel Meraud on you at all time. Then, when you need to teach some Snertmage a lesson, put up Confound Enemies. Walk in and HULP 'em. Voila! You have a Bard. And we all know that Bards aren't even worth your time.
Love,
Father Ainandil, Cleric of Saemaus

I actually recommend holding the mana for COE. It is really washed down and weak in the orb. hold the mana, unload with PS lead, follow with H P and FF if you want to go the mage route in doors. Outdoors PS with an AE follow up should solve just about any problem for you. Or you could do what i do, just throw a hammer through the guy, reach through his chest and pick up the hammer and wipe the gore off your boots......
COE is or was a lot stronger with held mana. unless they changed it while i was gone. EMBRACE PS it and DR will work wanders.....granted I am not the guild authority on CvC stuff, heck I don't even like to fight other folks, just seems I have a bit of practice at it......

on the subject of Ainandil raising without rej, i just found out that he raised someone really close to me with critical poison, and as we all know, that could mean another death.... bud, i recommend you watch how you raise people or dont do it at all, cause if not you gonna find yourself with more than just WM after you..

<<<Make sure you kill him while he's afk or fighting a dozen death spirits. Bring along a couple of friends to help out. Apparently sucker-punching and 3 on 1 is how you earn bragging rights in DR.>>>
the only rep i got in DR is of a girly cleric... second, only person i ever killed that i think it was AFK hunting, was Blixxer, he left me no choice, since everytime i found him, he logged off, which its call mechanics abuse or something, and i dont think he was AFK, cause he got his grave pretty quick. third, i never fight in group, only person i travel is my bonding mate, which by bonding laws, got the right to get involved.. would i die or fight for others, you damn right, i've done it, both, fight and die for a friend, but i never ask anybody to help me with my fights, even thou i get offer all the time..... be good

What about when he is afk and fighting a dozen death spirits with three of my closest friends?
As much as Volentri loves commas, I don't think he'll need their help if he ever decided to smack Ainandil.

The funniest part of all this is My Raise script (if you don't have one then you are either a sage or a fool and only the Gods know which) notices if/when Rejuve or Bond wear off and adjusts its next action accordingly.
If I were going to pull a Mechantdieu it would be on a corpse which has been festering for days. Most of you clowns are going to need to ask someone what a 'Mechantdieu' is. ;-)
Anyway, now that we have discovered the two greater fools, has anyone heard any good jokes lately?

Yes, yes. And that makes us not as good as you, we know. Good job. Likely, though, the majority of us will not care what it means in any more capacity than to wonder briefly before carrying on to more imporant things like cheese and the spawning cycles of mayflies.
>Anyway, now that we have discovered the two greater fools, has anyone heard any good jokes lately?
I was walking down the street with my friend and he said, "I hear music." As though there's any other way to take it in. You're not special. That's how I receive it too. I tried to taste it, but it did't work.

Wait a tic, this conflict fell apart real fast. Please, those of you who can't snipe or don't play Vorpar, post your character names so I can add them to My list of squelch strings and you can continue until the MOO!
Oh, and Volentri, I have a proverb for you: 'No good deed goes unpunished.' Thanks for letting Me know I'm off the hook permanently when it comes to Resurrection. I kind of figured I was, but it's always nice to get validation, especially here in SoCal, where we make tourists pay to play.
DROMEO OF EPHESUS:
Have at you with a proverb: 'Shall I set in my staff?'
(Ainandil and Vorpar engage in a pick-up battle of dueling Zippos until Ainandil drops his with a yelp.)
VORPAR:
The Force is with you, young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet.
(Ainandil wipes a tear from his eye.)
AINANDIL:
You had me at hello...

if you call raising someone with critical poison a good deed, i guess you are right.
by the way, bad idea to run a rezz script when someone still need healing, reason why i called you ROOKIE, and if you gonna go resurrecting people without mems or with crittical poison or with bad bleeders, what good deed are you doing but to yourself?,,,, well, not the rezz without mems, cause you gonna be hurting more than the person you rezzed......

This is ok Volentri, as long as your a halfway decent script writer. My rezz script requires you put Yes when the body is fully healed. If you were doing it AFK for some reason you could match off "in good shape". As far as the rezzing without mems, you are right there, hurts the cleric more than the victim unless the body is about to autodepart. Still a good script will percieve the body before bonding and raising.
Point being is that Ainadil is just a horrible script writer

Oh how I hated him. I'll give it up though, he was good at irritating people.
Ainandil, keep it up. You never cease to amuse...well me at least.
I never claimed to be intelligent, simply moreso than you. - Me.
