Such untamed mystery
Of which blows against the pines
It is the dance
With the grace of the stars
It is the sway
With the light of the moon
And it carries such delight

[Northern Trade Road, Stony Plains]
Cracked boulders, gravel, and bare earth stretch about you, endlessly gray and grim. Here and there brittle grasses struggle vainly to peek up, only to be choked by the uncaring stone. To the south a dark forest blots the horizon. You also see a two mule caravan with some stuff on it.
Also here: Journeywoman Trader Whosifat?.
Obvious paths: north, southwest.

The two mule caravan bears down on you. You try to scramble out of the way but don't quite make it. That's gonna leave a mark.
One of the caravan's wheels rolls across your abdomen.

Your duraka skefne falls to the ground.

Your vision shimmers momentarily as your Veiled Identity illusion ends.
You feel less aware of your environment.
Your death cry echoes in your brain as it quickly dawns on you that you have just died! Already, you feel the tug of eternity upon your spirit and you struggle to remain tied to this world.

You are somewhat comforted that you have gained favor with your God and are in no danger of walking the Starry Road, never to return.

Your body will decay beyond its ability to hold your soul in 234 minutes.

Nice shot! :) That caravan made me say "Cripes!" in a Fantasy RPG.

The cruel irony is that I was walking along the NTR looking for a place to forage Yelith to help with my broken leg.

The golden road to riches is paved over the mangled bodies of lame old soothsaying women.

All In Good Fun,
Plaith!

>to forage Yelith to help with my broken leg.<

I don't believe herbs will help a wound that is that advanced. Yelith can be found like 5 rooms east of where you go nw (or is it ne) for crocs.

If you add water, the ale lasts longer. After a certain point, the dwarf gets annoyed enough that he teaches you how to brew properly. If you wish to become a brewer this will rather suck (your burden will increase), but if not then the dwarfses just feed themselves.

Yes.

There is the Stock Pens in Lang (the barn), a stable off an arch by the Hvaral outpost, and the caravansary in Muspar'i.

If you're referring to the one that seems to be attached to the Inn in Hvaral, I haven't poked around that one yet. But I'll see if I can make time to do so.

that's been "in the works" since the days of shapeshifter. <1996, thereabouts>.

so..... sometime before the heat death of the universe - or the freeze-death of same, depending on which theory you're down with.

There was talk of player owned caravans again at vegascon. GMs would like to do it, but it isn't a top priority right now. One of the things they mentioned was the ability to add a furrier or gem shop mechanic to your caravan so you could wander around a hunting area and have people sell you their stuff.

>Yo dawg, I heard you like to trade...

I can't wait to see spinners as a customization option.

>>so..... sometime before the heat death of the universe - or the freeze-death of same, depending on which theory you're down with.

The Big Rip (all matter down to the absolute smallest quantum particle is going to spontaneously explode into nothingness) is the latest and greatest on that front.

DISCLAIMER: THIS POSTER IS NOT A MEMBER OF STAFF AND HIS INFORMATION IS/MIGHT BE WRONG.

Is boar clan the only place to stable your caravan in Forf? Any chance of constructing more? Really??? Thanks, you are the best!!!

From what info I've been given for my notes (see link below under caravan trading) you'll find one in hib and ain also.


On a whim...: http://www.desiredestiny.com/

The Zoluren army asks, "We're um.... really sorry about the clubhouse and all... so uh... are we cool?"

Now, mind you, first and foremost, I am not a trader, and have very little knowledge of how a trader and his caravan works...

But can someone explain to me how a trader and his caravan were able to swim the faldesu river?

By right, to even ENTER the river, you have to physically DIVE into the RIVER. So how does a caravan, fragile as it may be, while tied to some sort of beast of burden, dive into the river? How does it remain afloat and it's contents unharmed through the raging waters? Granted horses (and I imagine yaks) can swim alright, but I really don't think they'd be able to keep their head above water with a big, hulking, HEAVY caravan tied to them.

Roundtime: 2 sec.
You swim southeast, moving at an angle with the strong current.
[Faldesu River]
The currents swirl violently in their rush downriver, the swift waters threatening to drag down the unwary swimmer. To the north, the walls of Riverhaven are visible in the distance. You also see a coated caravan with some stuff on it.

Now, by no means is this a 'OMG NERF TRADERS PLZ!' sort of post. Just curious how this works is all.

conastoga wagons <think wagon train- old american west type> used to ford rivers at the shallow points all the time. even if something is neck-deep on your character <which is very odd because it appraises exactly the same whether you're a tog or a gnome - its the same depth>, a horse or a big animal of burden is very well able to swim said obstacle.





The undead hordes would like to take this moment to remind you that they are quite happy to eat your brains so that you may test new depart.Please consider it.Hugs and kisses, Team Necro.

Didn't you ever play Oregon Trail? You always ford the river! (You also always go hunting for more meat than you need because hunting is fun.)

Seriously though, I can see a good argument made for swimming. Climbing... not so much. The thing is, traders have so little dev right now, it would be kind of mean to slap a nerf down.

>>Careful that's the same argument that got us screams.

Well played

>>Just curious how this works is all.

you know the brook out the west gate to wolf clan?
ya, that's water too.
Caravan's, as long as thier trader's owners' survival is high enough to do it on his/her own, will follow.

Its amazing to think that someone could imagine a travelling caravan/trader as something that should not climb or swim.

>If you believe its wrong then you have to also fix horses, companions, familiars, shadowlings and whatever else I'm missing.

Eh... horses can climb steep trails and cross water naturally. Raccoons and wolves can scamper about pretty well. Familiars, they're in the form of animals, so the companion argument works. Shadowlings don't follow you anywhere, and can't even be cast in water. Shadow servants... well, they're bipeds, but also... yes magic.

If you can't see how something with legs is a different type of situation than a large heavy object on wheels, I don't know what to say.

A shadow appears briefly beneath the water, gurgles, then fades away.
