Whatever happened to...?

[Riev]

It's like all the best stories and LONGEST LIVED characters came from Tuluk.

Bring it baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack 

FTFY. Sure there were some great Allanaki heroes, but Tulukis lived for absolutely ever. Team Evershine was always great at providing great RP opportunity, making it dangerous, but not party wiping just because "the world is dangerous out there".

Allanak, generally, is more of a potential party wipe because "LETS FITE"

[Malken]

Yeah, Chaska, my Jul Tavan mostly played in Tuluk, was allowed to store-unstore a couple of times because he was so long-lived that I needed breaks once in a while (probably not something they would allow to do nowadays)

He was with the same mate for more than a RL year which was also strange because I didn't know the player at all but we would see each other almost daily.

Oh I remember Chaska but I'm trying with all of my might to remember HOW I remember them.

What was their sdesc?

The name immediately rings bells for me.

The higher rate of public deaths versus "lived so long won the game bored now store" fates also means there's less wondering about what happened to southern PCs.

Allanak hella gritty.

[Armaddict]

Gawd that picture is terrifying.

I really hope desert spiders aren't that big.  (I honestly never stick around long enough to examine such things.  Cuz they're dangerous.)

[Yam]

That there is a Ratsucker.

[Talia]

I really hope desert spiders aren't that big.  (I honestly never stick around long enough to examine such things.  Cuz they're dangerous.)

Normal giant spiders in game are in the range of 6 to 8 feet tall and 500-ish pounds. So, not quite as big as pictured, but still plenty big enough to be freaky.

Be very careful about what you say about spiders on the GDB around Talia.  Saying something like "I really hope desert spiders aren't that big" is tantamount to asking Talia to make desert spiders that big.

I prefered your kenku warrior, babez.

Now when you say tall, is that from sand to top of their head?  Or their length?

I'd always been under the impression that was length, which was still downright frightening, but if it's the former, that's fucked up and I think we need flamethrowers in game.

[Iiyola]

and I think we need flamethrowers in game.

We already have.

Sorry, I misspoke about their size, they are actually more like 9 feet ("over 7 cords'). And that is "from leg-tip to leg-tip." There's no indication in the desc of how tall they are. If they're based on real life tarantulas, then presumably they are 3 to 4 feet tall when they are crouched down?

[evilcabbage]

Assess -v them and get a rough idea from there. I believe they're actually about 3-5 feet tall even at their tallest? But they're quite, you know, -large- otherwise. And deadly.

[Majikal]

Considering once it reaches near the size of a quarter irl I run like a bitch. 3-4 ft tall I'd kill myself.

[Hauwke]

I always envisioned them the size of a full grown man + legs and stuff.

[Synthesis]

The different tarantulas are different sizes, and different levels of dangerous.

[Tuannon]

Whatever happened to those Kadians from way back, Brethel and Rokov?

[bardlyone]

Whatever happened to those Kadians from way back, Brethel and Rokov?

Weren't both those guys Kuraci?

[Lizzie]

Both Kurac.
Rokov became a Hlum noble and took his Tan Muark lover as his consort. Pretty sure he was stored not long after that.
I don't remember what happened to Brethel - I remember he was at one point wearing a slave collar by Allanak, and then he was involved in Kurac pulling completely out of Allanak for a long-ass time.  Can't remember if I ever knew what became of him in the end - if he was killed or if he stored.

I've always seriously wondered where Takharion's aide Shaze went.

Musadir, he was a cool dude up in Tuluk back in the day, seemed like he was seriously in some shit.  I think he was an assassin for the Faithful or something?  I hated how my militia corporal died on that guy and always wondered how he ended up getting on.

Tasim, he was I think a Tor something or other, my Kadian character Jan's lover.  I kind of wondered how his shit went after I stored (sorry dude).  And also Sergeant Syl (Borsail Wyverns, god I loved that character) and Xing (a hunter that I loved playing around back then).  This was all 2010ish.

Lady Jessenia Borsail?  I think that was her name?  Played with my Borsail noble Portenna and was a character I loved to subtly hate.

[Barsook]

Musadir, as I recall, was the medic of the Faithful.

[palomar]

Musadir, as I recall, was the medic of the Faithful.

He was one of the very few full PC employees of the Lirathan Order, first serving Isatep and then later Qoriya for more than 20, maybe even 30, IC years until retiring. He was a medic, among a lot of other things.

[Chettaman]

I remember as Regi, the soldier... - recruit for tuluk I ran into musadir quite a bit while he was working.
He was pretty cool. Way cooler than me at the time.

While we're on tuluk. Dammit, I literally just forgot his name.
I saw your character standing in the road one day and tried to interact only to realize you had become an NPC.

I've played Shaze. Let's just say that his service got him so involved in things magickal, that bad things were simply bound to happen. One way, or other. Shaze was during a very rare period in my life where I actually had 'time' to play. It was my second Aide character in my entire gameplay. My first one was Sop the Borsail kid, but I stored him for some reason that I dont remember and went inactive from Arm for a year.  I thoroughly enjoyed playing with Takharion. So much, that I havent manifested as a Nilazi for many rl months, pretty much the entirety of his service to Takharion. Only when my IRL respite was ending and I knew I will become very very scarce and too rare to be an affective aide, I've actually allowed myself to manifest and well ... the rest I'll keep unknown.
