Annoying point of view change
Designa was a half-elf cleric of Selune. He was a rather mellow character but he always stood for good even if he wasn’t one of those holy crusader types. The sad thing sometimes is that sometimes people don’t need much reason to make someone their target.
Someone reaches into a bag and tosses powder in your eyes stunning and blinding you.
The burning in your eyes prevents you from doing anything.
You are stunned and cannot move.

Finbar begins casting a spell.
You are stunned and cannot move.
You are stunned and cannot move.
Finbar glides his hands from side to side while chanting hypnotically.
Finbar’s magic dominates you and you relax as he takes control of your will!
Finbar says: “Heh, little priest of selune. Or should I say soon to be a former priest of selune.”
Finbar cackles
Finbar taps a key and a rift opens in space.
Finbar leaves rift.
Finbar forces you to leave rift.

Finbar forces you to choose malar.
Designa has chosen to follow Malar.
Finbar (Malar): Welcome to the hunt Designa!
Shortly after this Finbar cast some more attack spells and killed Designa. Because of the domination spell none of the commands Designa typed could do anything.
Designa (OOC): Fuck you Finbar, I’m mailing Law. There is no way you should be able to use domination that way. I hope they Rid you.
Finbar (OOC): Someone is a sore PK looser.
Designa typed ‘mail law’ and told the admin’s of the game what happened. He wrote a rather nasty report and the people who read it several hours later when they were both offline were not pleased.
Finbar had a reputation already. He played a dwarven cleric/mage of malar and was known for being really ruthless in his PKing. It was enough that he had been accused of cheating several times. But this was enough to get more than yelled at and told to stop.
Death cost a player character 10% of their experience points. Also forsaking a deity cost them 10% of their experience points. In essence what Finbar did to Designa cost him a little under 20% of the character’s total experience points. For a character over level 10 there is no way that wouldn’t be enough experience point loss to lose a level. Experience point loss like that could set a character back multiple levels.
Multikilling was banned. Multi Killing is killing someone and then killing them again right after you killed them. Some overly competitive players would do this to keep a character they thought might be a threat to them someday from becoming powerful enough to kill them. The only exception for this was if someone came back and provoked the player that just killed them a few minutes earlier.

Finbar noticed that he couldn’t log back in the next day after he logged off. It gave him a notification that his character had be rid and the name was banned. Not really pausing to think on his actions he just decided to play another character.
Enter the name of your Character:
Zilath
And so Zilath the drow was made.

The Card Thief of Culnivar
Deep with the cozy kingdom of Daeton, among the generation-old farmlands and villages, a young farmer’s daughter stumbles upon a dead man. His elaborate clothing has been torn to ribbons, yet his skin remains unblemished. His face is peaceful, and tucked into the hand lying across his chest can be seen a solitary playing card. He is a Ludum Haeres. The last remnant of a Summoner. Numbered among those few capable of changing their destinies. The unseen rulers of the world known as Vesperia, and one of the most powerful creatures in existence. The woman knows none of this. And so, she picks up the card... This is my third novel on Royal Road, the first being "Beyond the Horizon's Eye", and the second being "The Dawnfire Archives". This story is something of a test in a new genre, that of CardLIT. We'll see how well it succeeds as the story continues. It takes place in a different setting than my other tales, with an entirely new cast of characters. It does, however, contain several ties between the stories. Average post between 1000 - 3000 words.
