Earthen Tunnel

This room is incredibly humid and damp, so much so that the act of
breathing in the thick air can become incredibly laborious. The sound
of trickling water echoes through the earthen cavers, emanating from a
thick iron grate just below you. It's not hard to propose that some
kind of subterranean waterway has granted the smugglers a way to bring
illicit goods in to Ruhrdan without detection.
Obvious exits: out, barred grate[cl].

enter the world of Derlith. A magnificent door carved out of a single
piece of jade and decorated with the finest gems and metals leads to the
world beyond. The Book of Knowledge, an ancient tome some say was written
by the gods themselves when they created Derlith, floats about the area.
An obsidian obelisk placed near the jade door has some information carved
on it regarding this world.
Obvious exits: jade door, tutorial.

Skies Above Highport

You are floating above the free city of Highport.
From up above the city looks relatively peaceful and benign, but
once you go down there, you will quickly learn Highport is a
city in chaos. Evil lurks around every corner, reflecting the
anarchy that seems to have invaded all of Derlith. Below you is
the Highport Market Square, a flurry of activity. While you are
a free floating form, you might as well float around the clouds
a bit and enjoy yourself before descending to the city below.
Obvious exits: down.

Highport Market Square

with them, and even some thieves and beggars eying potential
victims or benefactors. All manner of goods can be found in
Highport's market. It is known throughout all of Derlith as the
place to get things. The market surrounds you to the north,
south, east, and west. You might as well buy a few things while
you're here..but watch out for thieves!

Highport Market West

This is the western part of the Highport market.
Here during the day, musicians play and entertain people shopping
in the market. Some of them are very good, and others just plain stink
at their trade. Occasionally someone will get up and sing. Local
bards love this part of the market and often frequent it, singing,
playing music and telling stories.
Obvious exits: north, east, south, west.
You see an iron pot, a sheet music.

The poison has run its course.
You have become afflicted with death sickness.
You have lost 453223 experience.

Limbo

You are dead. You are in Limbo. It's a terrible place.
Death is not a very pleasant thing. You are now in limbo
surrounded by primal chaos. Every part of your spirit is
being torn in every direction. It is hard to think - hard to
know where you are. You're beginning to lose all sense of
individuality. In the distance, you can see a shining light.
In the light is safety. You'd better get there fast, or your
spirit will be lost forever!
Obvious exits: light.

So basically, I was trying to pick the grate, then a smuggler comes in. I attack it, 2 more come in, I get my ass kicked, then I get poisoned. I hit the recall button and run to the clinic. A surgeon casts heal on me, I get all my HP back, then poison kicks in and I get drained for 20hp per poison hit, which was draining crazy fast (why I kept checking effects). Docs were vigging me but not fast enough, so I stole a jade potion and used it, which didn't help much. I panic and run east for some reason, then run back in the clinic and die. Any chance of a restore? Would be much appreciated.

The new poison system does damage at a rediculously high rate. I got poisoned by trap in Oakspire on Kefka and was taking damage every 4 seconds...dunno if this is exactly what Bane had in mind, but it seems awefully harsh.

O:-)

I'll fix the speed at which poison ticks when I get to work, the delay mechanics have changed slightly and the current speed's an over sight.

-Bane

I restored your experience and moved you out of Limbo.

Awesome, thanks!

I've temporarily set the tick time at 20 seconds, I'll adjust it so it's again based on con/etc when I've got a little bit more time.

I don't think slow-poison is working.
