Can you really pray to a God and get cured of a simply runny nose? Come on. Xillix, I highly doubt Laanx would waste time curing your itchy nose, and would go for dying people or people without families. I can't really pray to God in real life and get rid of my allergies, or a cold, or anything like that. I think this common cold should be cured with something manmade, not magical God powers.

She was cured for a reason.

I don't know. People always treat the Gods like they have a lot of free time and'll do anything you want them too. A little cold isn't really worth Laanx's attention, and them just praying and magically being cured puts all this work building up the RP to waste. Now everyone's gonna pray, get cured, and there would be absolutely no purpose for all these mushrooms and things. I really wish people would stop taking RP's into their own hands and ending it whenever they want with some sort of magic thing that lets everyone live happily ever after.

Where was the "teamwork" in this? After 4 pages of figuring out what to do, Xillix just prays and gets cured, without warning. That's not teamwork, that's just wanting to end the RP and get on with your life. It ruined pretty much everything that's happened up until now, because the mushrooms and other things discussed will no longer be needed.

You, Sir, are a fool. And you are doing exactly what the plan called for. Damn I am good. xD

Xillix has no idea why she was cured. I -told- her she was, yet no one else is. So would a priest of Laanx not assume her god had done this? The RP is far from over. This is just the begining of Act 2.

Then why did she say she prayed, when it just happened to her at a random time? It would've saved me the trouble of posting here trying to figure out why the hell yet another RP was ended because of someone saying "Laanx did it! Laanx did it!"

All good RP's have someone wanting to end them quick saying a God came and made everything all better. >.>

this is getting too confusing....

i ahte to sound like a whiner, which i prolly do right now...

but i dont see where youre "connecting the dots" when you tell someone that thyre "cured" adn no one else is..we cant possibly understand your reasoing unless well...there were better hints

yeha nim slow and everything but i ahve been talking and helping and what not...and then all of a sudden someones prays and gets better?

is it like a gift from laanx

well nver know

because quite simply (they only exist in our imagination)


i dunnos...sorry for yet another useless post....

To be honest, I think Xillix gets all the breaks. I still can't get over that "Xillix for Octarch" thing >.>

I too am curious as to why I am cured I have my suspicions if you look at who is immune and who is cured . . .There are more threads to tied together than are being tied together at this time i think Kalika.

Ok, instead on spamming this thread, if you can't contain your whiny crybaby attitudes and see that the plot is far deeper than you could think, PM me, and I will tell you exactly what is going on in the simplest terms possible. But I will not give you the whole plot. Stop being lazy, and start putting things together. This is an -advanced- quest, not like the simple ones ingame now. There are layers on top of layers here.

Xillix being cured is probably one of the biggest clues of all. Think like your characters, not like yourself. See the world through their eyes for a moment, and react upon it. The RP is FAR from over. I have let Xillix in on a few of the secrets, but not the entire plot. Within the next few days, you will see why.

(this was not directed at Kalika, who honestly seems to be trying to figure this out. Hats off to you....but I am not going to make it any easier. This 'quest' was not ment to be solved in a day or two. The ending is open, and will depend on what you folks do.)

* Einnol scratches his head and looks bewildered.

I overheard someone mention that they heard someone say that they heard the crying of a girl rising up from below (probably either from the dungeon or sewer ... not sure which).  At the same time, a voice that sounded like Janeous Crenes was heard shouting in the plaza.  I have no idea what this might mean yet.

Also, there has been talk of a crippled Klyros with only one good eye that was selling mushrooms in the city about a week ago.  This description matches the description of someone that came into Kada'el's and tried to sell mushrooms to Hyuken, the barkeep, a week ago.  Hyuken told me that this Klyros went by the name Jagk.  Jagk also mentioned to Hyuken that he was trying to 'take care of two businesses'.  I can only assume that selling mushrooms is one of them, but I am unsure of what the other might be.

* Einnol coughs a few times and walks away.

Mmm, hope my comment didn't seem malicious. The recent turn of events was just...unexpected.

Unaffiliated with any god, Kae'lith wonders if a sudden finding of faith would change her luck. She rushes into Kada-el's tavern, shaking water from her black fur and shivering fervently. The rain, she feels, is making her condition worse, and as she continues to cough and sneeze, she wonders if she will ever get better.

This is for greater minds. You might as well give your quest up and accept your fate. Or perhaps beg for mercy from those who are superior.
