on. Over it was a blue jean jacket something simple. Pink hair was pulled
back into a pony tail away from her face. Lips curled to a smile looking to
the group as s
Halo of Noire: The arena was set up for a class as it usually was, with a
bank of seats ready for the peoples that wished to attend, and a platform
built upon the sandy arena floor with a lectern upon it. A small box was upon
the floor by the
Angelic Omicidio: she slipped into a chair.
Halo of Noire: lectern where Mela could use illusions to provide visual aids
to her presentation. Dressed in her formal crimson robe, which was buttoned
up all the way to her neck with a high collar, and black gloves upon her
hands, she moved
TrinityFlareX: She slipped in, her large white tiger following along as she
also had dinner, pork rice bowl.
Halo of Noire: across the way to the platform and stepped upon it, and
opened her folder. A small bejeweled clip was slipped upon her collar, to
allow for projection of her voice to the whole arena. And then she would wait
for all to attend.
LegbasxChild: Lucy shuffled in, looking skittish and wiping her sweaty palms
on the thighs of her pants. Her quick, furtive glance didn't seem to affect
her mood one way or the other, and she seated herself in a chair by the door
soon after.
Moonsongs Grave: The woman slipped in, curious to see what was what as she
found herself a place to sit down. <d
OnlineHost: Advents Illusion has entered the room.
Halo of Noire: (btw I don't think I managed to invite everyone so if you
know someone that might like to attend, feel free to invite.)
SeanNiteHawk: *he walked into the arena wearing his simple brown robe moving
over to one of the chairs and sat down down looking at Mela*
Jackboot Ballet: Daniel was not too terribly behind her, moving up to follow
behind Amata, carrying along a small bakery box in hand, he would let his
hand brush over Amata's mid back as he passed her, to step to where Mela was,
waiting to be sure
Halo of Noire: She motioned for folks to come in, and get a seat, so they
could get started.
Jackboot Ballet: he was not intruding before offering her the box he held,
to whisper something before stepping off to take a seat.(d)
masque of truth: Cierra tugged on the sleeves of her green robes, pausing at
the entrance of the arena for a moment to wonder if venturing out on her
birthday was a wise idea. However, she found a seat and pushed that worry
out of her mind.
x Silver Heat x: Akito walked into the arena, wearing his navy robe over a
basic black shirt and jeans. He left the robe open in case it wasn't needed,
which made it look more like a trench coat. He made his way to a seat with
one empty next to him
DevolthDagora: *Devolth had entered late as he sat next to Lark. He wanted
to ask what was going on but he figure he would find out anyway.* -d-
x Silver Heat x: for his wife when she arrived.
Halo of Noire: She leaned down, to hear the whisper and take the box. Giving
it a sniff, she then slid it on the shelf in the lectern for later. A hand
rose to brush her bangs out of her face, her long hair in a high ponytail for
the night.
Ties of Destiny: He slipped inside the arena, moving to take a seat with
little preamble.
Starberry Loops: Followed Fritz in, sat by him. etc.
Moonsongs Grave: She gave a small smile and lightly nudegd his shoulder. She
winked at him while she tugged out her notebook. Well more then likely Malak
was healing so.. she'd take notes for him. <d
Halo of Noire: (As the class starts, if you have a question please state ?
and if you have a statement use ! and wait to be called upon during a break
in the lecture.)
Advents Illusion: Liese wasn't far behind her husband. Just had to end a
quick phone call, then she slipped in with a glance around to spot him and
took the saved seat with a smile to him.
Halo of Noire: She peeked in the box while everyone was sitting down and her
face lit up and she rose again and gave a salute to Daniel.
OnlineHost: Of Aegis Descent has entered the room.
Angelic Omicidio: Feeling the but of caress on her lower back did comfort
her some. Seeing him she gave a nod pulling her notebook out to set on the
desk with her pen. She would do some corney little things like draw a heart
and flowers
x Silver Heat x: Akito gave his Oniko that one smile in return, slipping an
arm around her shoulder as they settled in to listen to the class.
Angelic Omicidio: all around the edge of her paper. Phone plucked beffore
she texted.
Halo of Noire: "Let's begin everyone. Take your seats. We have a lot to
cover. I'm glad to see so many of you in attendance at our first Wednesday
magic class this new year. I want to let you all know that Mage Scar will be
hosting classes each

has chosen early Saturday to do her classes. You can talk to her direction or
keep up with it in your CoMA newsletter that comes out the 1st and 15th each
month. Tonight,
Halo of Noire: I am delving into a topic that I thought would be interesting
for all of us, undead. I also want to welcome Blood Rose members, and Lunar
Eclipse members if any are here as this class tonight is part of our week
long sister legion
Halo of Noire: activity. So, let's begin." She nodded and turned a page in
her notebook. "I have done this alphabetically and I will go as far as I can
in the time limit. What we do not reach I will speak on next week. First we
will start with the
Halo of Noire: allip."
masque of truth: Do former members of the Blood Rose circa 2001 count?
Halo of Noire: Sure.
masque of truth: Jaw-some!
Angelic Omicidio: she would cheer for them ention of Blood Rose and Lunar
Eclipse.
Halo of Noire: "Now, many of you may think ..ok undead, they are created by
necromancers, and they are all the same. No. Not true. Now some are, but some
are not. The allip, for instance, is a type of undead created from the spirit

to be driven mad and gouge out one's own eyes to cease the hallucinations and
die, that counts as well. If you lay the body to rest in respect, they aren't
likely to be

tend to become an allip." She paused.

TrinityFlareX: "Apprentice Emily to Yuriko Hashibara (wardenhashibara)"
Angelic Omicidio: She was listening to this one, it was something special
for her. Bit of a smirk as she listened to Mela and sipped her drink.
Offered it over to Daniel?
Halo of Noire: "Now we move on to the bodak. Bodak by definition are the
undead remnants of humanoids who have been destroyed by the touch of absolute
evil. Typically this means that one bodak creatures another bodak as they are
creatures of
Halo of Noire: absolute evil. A vicious cycle you might say. Bodaks are also
quite fiendish. A bodak might arise when a demon slays a humanoid creature
with negative energy or a necromantic spell. The killer does not gain control
over the bodak in
Halo of Noire: this way, merely creates one."
Halo of Noire: "If you have questions or comments, feel free to interrupt
me." (with a ? or !)
Angelic Omicidio: no questions.
Halo of Noire: "There are also creatures called boneclaws. These are
basically created as an immortal weapon and only the most abominable by
"good" standards, of ritual will create a boneclaw. The rite calls for the
skeletons of large, magic using

OnlineHost: Amuiril Travm has entered the room.
Halo of Noire: humanoid shaped creatures..an ogre mage for example..and it
infuses them with negative energy, strips them of most of their remaining
flesh, and grafts additional bones to their body - mostly around the fingers.
These additional
Jackboot Ballet: Acting like it was an actual class in high school, Daniel
scribbled out something on a piece of paper and slipped it to Amata. Took
the drink to try it.(d)
OnlineHost: Advents Illusion has entered the room.
Halo of Noire: bones MUST be cut from the flesh of living victims. These are
quite rare as far as undead go, as you may imagine."
Angelic Omicidio: ... Well chocolate, blood, and cofee what wasn't to love
on it. now she was currently thinking of Jiang Shi herself with this one..
for some reason.
TrinityFlareX: Emily was eating her dinner, pork, snow peas, white radish
and rice with a teryaki sauce.
Angelic Omicidio: She looked down to the accepted paper and smirked before
writing osmething to Daniel.
Halo of Noire: "Moving on through our undead ABC's, we come to the Charnel
Hound. For this, I will show you a visual." She pointed to the illusionary
device on the floor and a 6 foot by 6 foot screen appeared. As it appeared,
it showed an old
SeanNiteHawk: *he was writing everything down listening like an old school
child*
Halo of Noire: cemetary, then suddenly dirt erupted from a hundred graves
and then a hundred more. From each crawled a corpse, propelled by malignant
will. Naked skulls and fleshy visages seemed to gape open in horror as they
dragged themselves in
OnlineHost: Of Aegis Descent has left the room.
Halo of Noire: a mockery of infancy. Where they met their joints shattered
and their bones clenched to one another. In the mass of writhing decay, a dog
shaped figure began to form.
LegacyofBIue: She wanted one! She needed one! Lexi was there; she was just
very very quiet.
LegacyofBIue: But they damn better well bet their lives that she was eyeing
that incredible masterpiece. Lomamir was going to hear her whine about it
for days, no, weeks!, on end!!
Jackboot Ballet: Took his drawing to folded up and flick at lexy's head.(d)
LegacyofBIue: She would take a bite out of him for that. Disrupting her day
dream of pleasantness with her brand spankin new charnel hound....she'd name
it Charlie.
Halo of Noire: "A charnel hound is created by necromancers, at least 200
corpses are needed along with dark spells and unholy unguents. Sometimes, not
often though, a charnel hound will form on it's own. They ..as you can
imagine, create
Halo of Noire: havoc and destruction."
DevolthDagora: *He watched Lark notebook as he had no clue what was on that
paper before looking up back up as he offer her a cup of tea as he had his
own.* Sounds like a nice pet. *He accidentally let out.* -d-
TrinityFlareX: Finishing her dinner it was set aside as a hand went to the
head of that white tiger as fingers ran through the fur.
Halo of Noire: The visual aid blinked out, as she continued to spea. "And
now, on to the Crawling Head.The first crawling head was created deliberately
from the severed head of a hill giant by a necromancer later slain by his own
creation. Since
Moonsongs Grave: She was writing as she glanced over at Dev. " you should
have your head exaimed. "She stated as she took the tea. A sip before she
went back to writing.<d
Angelic Omicidio: Took the drnk back when she leaned into daneil and sat a
kiss to his cheek. Hand came onto her side to rub a second as she listened
and watch the video of the hound.
Halo of Noire: then, giant necromancers have adopted the practice of
creating crawling heads...some humanoids know how to as well. You need to be
able to create undead, and sacrifice a giant who has just fed on at least
Jackboot Ballet: Passed the drink back..or tried to, and chuckled shaking
his head. Leaned in to whisper to Amata while gesturing at the hound
things.(d)
Halo of Noire: three sentient beings. Crawling heads are notoriously free
willed though, and every day there is the chance it will break free from it's
creator and slay them." She grinned a bit, and continued.
SeanNiteHawk: *he was still writting everything down as he then looked up at
Mela watching her speak*
Halo of Noire: "Now, to the Crimson Death. Legend states that Crimson Deaths
are created from the destruction of a strong willed vampire -- this is not
always the case. A crimson death might from from anyone who dies of
exsanguination and whose
Angelic Omicidio: the crawling head somehow remindered her of Thing from
Adamms family.
Halo of Noire: body is then consumed or destroyed." The visual aid formed
again, this one rather disgusting as well, of a humanoid in the swamp,
covered in leeches. All the blood sucked from his body, and then other
creatures of the swamp eating
LegacyofBIue: It was the perfect pet for Syrrin!!! So many ideas! An
excited glow began to form in her eyes. Crawling heads, undead dogs! She
needed to pay more attention! She was going christmas gift shopping early.
Bless that Mela!!
Halo of Noire: the body. "A vampire who drains a victim and then cremates
the body so they do not rise as a vampire, could very well be creating a
crimson death. Crimson Death's favor swamps or misty areas as they are able
to hide better there."
Angelic Omicidio: She listened now thinking a second.
Halo of Noire: "We move on in our ABC's of the Undead. Now to the Death
Knight. Death Knights are always great warriors in life, and most are favored
servants of evil but a Death Knight can be formed from a paladin that
tragically falls from grace
OnlineHost: masque of truth has left the room.
Halo of Noire: not long before dying. Demogorgon is credited with creating
the first Death Knight. Some warriors seek out the undead existence of the
death knight but a mortal cannot perform the ritual without assistance. The
transformation
Halo of Noire: requires the active assistance of a powerful fiend. On rare
occasions they spontaneously form, or they might arise as a curse in rare
instances. Such as if an innocent dies due to a fallen paladin's actions, it
might pronounce a
Halo of Noire: dying curse that results in eternal unlife for that paladin
of light."
TrinityFlareX: She frowned at that.
Starberry Loops: That reminded Weeble level her DK later.
Angelic Omicidio: Lazy you already start out in the 50s.
Halo of Noire: "Now to the Devourer. Devourers can be created by a
necromancer, but they can also manifest during travel on the astral or
ethereal plane if you are slain by negative energy. Someone in that
predicament could rise as a devourer.
Starberry Loops: Weeble has a DK. Mun has a Drood.
OnlineHost: masque of truth has entered the room.
Halo of Noire: The devourer becomes a permanent conduit to the astral or
ethereal plane which they siphon off the energy to continue to be animated.
Devourers starve if they do not absorb the lives of others. The deceased
physical body becomes the
Halo of Noire: devourer if they have physically traveled to the plane but if
they are merely projecting into the astral plane, the devourer remains on the
material plane." She gave a nod at that and looked around.
Halo of Noire: "Now, for Drowned. I know I recently sent some of you on an
adventure and you had to deal with the Drowned. Please raise your hand if any
of you were on that adventure and fought Drowned?" (Dano's Tale #2)
SeanNiteHawk: *he raised his hand at that question*
Ties of Destiny: He raised his hand, remembering some sort of sea zombies.
OnlineHost: masque of truth has left the room.
Halo of Noire: She smiled at those raising their hand and offered a bow of
her head to them. "Again, I thank you for your services and am grateful you
all came back alive. Not all who drown become undead. Drowned appear more
when people perish
LegacyofBIue: Sea zombies!? WTH was she missing out on!?
Angelic Omicidio: Adventures obviously!
Halo of Noire: beneath the waves specifically due to the actions - or
negligence- of others. A ship that sinks during a storm does not transform
those who drown, but one that sinks due to sabotage by pirates, might. "
Angelic Omicidio: She smirked a bit with that one!
Halo of Noire: "Now, let's watch another Undead being formed.." She seemed
so clinical about it, though she tried to hide a smirk as she motioned to the
visual aid again and an illusion formed. A crowd had gathered, all staring at
a gruesom figure
Halo of Noire: tied to a smoldering stake. One man came forward and spoke
'She has been purified! Cleansed by the divine flame! No longer shall her
vile witchery bedevil our town! We are safe once more!' He smiled at the
townsfolk and walked away,
Halo of Noire: the others walked away, and from the charred remains a
skeletal hand thrust forth, wreathed in flame. She had been no threat in
life, but now she was undead... "The creature you see forming
Halo of Noire: now is called an Effigy. Like many other undead, an effigy
is formed from the hate and rage of an individual. Such people must die
under circumstances where they belive they have been denied their rights.
Such as someone that is
Halo of Noire: burned in a fire on the night they have gained a tremendous
fortune, or in this case, a woman who had done no wrong, burned as a witch.
They only form if they die by fire, or a fire spell or effect of some sort.
Halo of Noire: "*
Halo of Noire: "Now, to the famine spirit. As with the Drowned, not all who
die of hunger become a famine spirit. Someone has to spend most of their life
hungry or wanting of basic necessities. Such as someone living their entire
life in poverty.
LegbasxChild: !
Halo of Noire: This person then must be given the chance to raise themselves
from their poverty in some way, and have it snatched from them, causing them
to perish of starvation and frustration."
Halo of Noire: "Yes, Lucy?"
LegbasxChild: "Uh, sorry if you ain't got to this part yet'n I'm jumping the
gun but, how do put that poor creature to rest?"
LegbasxChild: *do yoooou
Halo of Noire: "That's another class. For now, I am merely giving you their
origins." She gave her a wink and grinned. "I'll let you know when I teach on
how to destroy them."
Halo of Noire: "Now, due to the time, we'll end it here. Next week we'll
talk about ghasts, ghosts and ghouls - liches and mummies and nightshades and
the like."
Angelic Omicidio: "Oh my"
LegbasxChild: Destroy wasn't so much her aim as was helping a restless soul
find peace. A ghost of a frown tugged at her mouth, and she slouched in her
seat.
Halo of Noire: She'd tell how that could happen too.
Halo of Noire: "Any questions or comments before we end?"
LegacyofBIue: No no, this was fun!
Angelic Omicidio: She shook her head a bit.
LegacyofBIue: ~!
SeanNiteHawk: no questions at this time
Halo of Noire: "Yes Lexi my Dear?"
Angelic Omicidio: "Sexi Lexi.." Cat call.
LegacyofBIue: Lexi bounced in her seat, eyes wide and shining. "Do you make
them in your classes Mela??" She woudl really debate taking up a new hobby.
Teeth eagerly bit at her lower lip as she 'transformed' from ancient hag to
bouncy little kid
x Silver Heat x: Well, that was a fairly interesting class. Akito didn't
know there were any differences or how they got to 'undead' status. He
shifted in his seat a bit as the class was coming to a close. He turned to
listen to the audience feed-
x Silver Heat x: back.
LegacyofBIue: Go fig...she loved playing with dangerous undead things.
Halo of Noire: "
Halo of Noire: "I am not a skilled necromancer, but I am sure that Aderyn
could make a few of these." She snickered softly.
LegacyofBIue: Hands excitedly came together and clapped with sheer delight.
"Fantastic!!! Thank you!!!"
Halo of Noire: "Well, then, you are all dismissed and I thank you for
attending."

flesh, and grafts additional bones to their body - mostly around the fingers.
These additional
Jackboot Ballet: Acting like it was an actual class in high school, Daniel
scribbled out something on a piece of paper and slipped it to Amata. Took
the drink to try it.(d)
OnlineHost: Advents Illusion has entered the room.
Halo of Noire: bones MUST be cut from the flesh of living victims. These are
quite rare as far as undead go, as you may imagine."
Angelic Omicidio: ... Well chocolate, blood, and cofee what wasn't to love
on it. now she was currently thinking of Jiang Shi herself with this one..
for some reason.
TrinityFlareX: Emily was eating her dinner, pork, snow peas, white radish
and rice with a teryaki sauce.
Angelic Omicidio: She looked down to the accepted paper and smirked before
writing osmething to Daniel.
Halo of Noire: "Moving on through our undead ABC's, we come to the Charnel
Hound. For this, I will show you a visual." She pointed to the illusionary
device on the floor and a 6 foot by 6 foot screen appeared. As it appeared,
it showed an old
SeanNiteHawk: *he was writing everything down listening like an old school
child*
Halo of Noire: cemetary, then suddenly dirt erupted from a hundred graves
and then a hundred more. From each crawled a corpse, propelled by malignant
will. Naked skulls and fleshy visages seemed to gape open in horror as they
dragged themselves in
OnlineHost: Of Aegis Descent has left the room.
Halo of Noire: a mockery of infancy. Where they met their joints shattered
and their bones clenched to one another. In the mass of writhing decay, a dog
shaped figure began to form.
LegacyofBIue: She wanted one! She needed one! Lexi was there; she was just
very very quiet.
LegacyofBIue: But they damn better well bet their lives that she was eyeing
that incredible masterpiece. Lomamir was going to hear her whine about it
for days, no, weeks!, on end!!
Jackboot Ballet: Took his drawing to folded up and flick at lexy's head.(d)
LegacyofBIue: She would take a bite out of him for that. Disrupting her day
dream of pleasantness with her brand spankin new charnel hound....she'd name
it Charlie.
Halo of Noire: "A charnel hound is created by necromancers, at least 200
corpses are needed along with dark spells and unholy unguents. Sometimes, not
often though, a charnel hound will form on it's own. They ..as you can
imagine, create
Halo of Noire: havoc and destruction."
DevolthDagora: *He watched Lark notebook as he had no clue what was on that
paper before looking up back up as he offer her a cup of tea as he had his
own.* Sounds like a nice pet. *He accidentally let out.* -d-
TrinityFlareX: Finishing her dinner it was set aside as a hand went to the
head of that white tiger as fingers ran through the fur.
Halo of Noire: The visual aid blinked out, as she continued to spea. "And
now, on to the Crawling Head.The first crawling head was created deliberately
from the severed head of a hill giant by a necromancer later slain by his own
creation. Since
Moonsongs Grave: She was writing as she glanced over at Dev. " you should
have your head exaimed. "She stated as she took the tea. A sip before she
went back to writing.<d
Angelic Omicidio: Took the drnk back when she leaned into daneil and sat a
kiss to his cheek. Hand came onto her side to rub a second as she listened
and watch the video of the hound.
Halo of Noire: then, giant necromancers have adopted the practice of
creating crawling heads...some humanoids know how to as well. You need to be
able to create undead, and sacrifice a giant who has just fed on at least
Jackboot Ballet: Passed the drink back..or tried to, and chuckled shaking
his head. Leaned in to whisper to Amata while gesturing at the hound
things.(d)
Halo of Noire: three sentient beings. Crawling heads are notoriously free
willed though, and every day there is the chance it will break free from it's
creator and slay them." She grinned a bit, and continued.
SeanNiteHawk: *he was still writting everything down as he then looked up at
Mela watching her speak*
Halo of Noire: "Now, to the Crimson Death. Legend states that Crimson Deaths
are created from the destruction of a strong willed vampire -- this is not
always the case. A crimson death might from from anyone who dies of
exsanguination and whose
Angelic Omicidio: the crawling head somehow remindered her of Thing from
Adamms family.
Halo of Noire: body is then consumed or destroyed." The visual aid formed
again, this one rather disgusting as well, of a humanoid in the swamp,
covered in leeches. All the blood sucked from his body, and then other
creatures of the swamp eating
LegacyofBIue: It was the perfect pet for Syrrin!!! So many ideas! An
excited glow began to form in her eyes. Crawling heads, undead dogs! She
needed to pay more attention! She was going christmas gift shopping early.
Bless that Mela!!
Halo of Noire: the body. "A vampire who drains a victim and then cremates
the body so they do not rise as a vampire, could very well be creating a
crimson death. Crimson Death's favor swamps or misty areas as they are able
to hide better there."
Angelic Omicidio: She listened now thinking a second.
Halo of Noire: "We move on in our ABC's of the Undead. Now to the Death
Knight. Death Knights are always great warriors in life, and most are favored
servants of evil but a Death Knight can be formed from a paladin that
tragically falls from grace
OnlineHost: masque of truth has left the room.
Halo of Noire: not long before dying. Demogorgon is credited with creating
the first Death Knight. Some warriors seek out the undead existence of the
death knight but a mortal cannot perform the ritual without assistance. The
transformation
Halo of Noire: requires the active assistance of a powerful fiend. On rare
occasions they spontaneously form, or they might arise as a curse in rare
instances. Such as if an innocent dies due to a fallen paladin's actions, it
might pronounce a
Halo of Noire: dying curse that results in eternal unlife for that paladin
of light."
TrinityFlareX: She frowned at that.
Starberry Loops: That reminded Weeble level her DK later.
Angelic Omicidio: Lazy you already start out in the 50s.
Halo of Noire: "Now to the Devourer. Devourers can be created by a
necromancer, but they can also manifest during travel on the astral or
ethereal plane if you are slain by negative energy. Someone in that
predicament could rise as a devourer.
Starberry Loops: Weeble has a DK. Mun has a Drood.
OnlineHost: masque of truth has entered the room.
Halo of Noire: The devourer becomes a permanent conduit to the astral or
ethereal plane which they siphon off the energy to continue to be animated.
Devourers starve if they do not absorb the lives of others. The deceased
physical body becomes the
Halo of Noire: devourer if they have physically traveled to the plane but if
they are merely projecting into the astral plane, the devourer remains on the
material plane." She gave a nod at that and looked around.
Halo of Noire: "Now, for Drowned. I know I recently sent some of you on an
adventure and you had to deal with the Drowned. Please raise your hand if any
of you were on that adventure and fought Drowned?" (Dano's Tale #2)
SeanNiteHawk: *he raised his hand at that question*
Ties of Destiny: He raised his hand, remembering some sort of sea zombies.
OnlineHost: masque of truth has left the room.
Halo of Noire: She smiled at those raising their hand and offered a bow of
her head to them. "Again, I thank you for your services and am grateful you
all came back alive. Not all who drown become undead. Drowned appear more
when people perish
LegacyofBIue: Sea zombies!? WTH was she missing out on!?
Angelic Omicidio: Adventures obviously!
Halo of Noire: beneath the waves specifically due to the actions - or
negligence- of others. A ship that sinks during a storm does not transform
those who drown, but one that sinks due to sabotage by pirates, might. "
Angelic Omicidio: She smirked a bit with that one!
Halo of Noire: "Now, let's watch another Undead being formed.." She seemed
so clinical about it, though she tried to hide a smirk as she motioned to the
visual aid again and an illusion formed. A crowd had gathered, all staring at
a gruesom figure
Halo of Noire: tied to a smoldering stake. One man came forward and spoke
'She has been purified! Cleansed by the divine flame! No longer shall her
vile witchery bedevil our town! We are safe once more!' He smiled at the
townsfolk and walked away,
Halo of Noire: the others walked away, and from the charred remains a
skeletal hand thrust forth, wreathed in flame. She had been no threat in
life, but now she was undead... "The creature you see forming
Halo of Noire: now is called an Effigy. Like many other undead, an effigy
is formed from the hate and rage of an individual. Such people must die
under circumstances where they belive they have been denied their rights.
Such as someone that is
Halo of Noire: burned in a fire on the night they have gained a tremendous
fortune, or in this case, a woman who had done no wrong, burned as a witch.
They only form if they die by fire, or a fire spell or effect of some sort.
Halo of Noire: "*
Halo of Noire: "Now, to the famine spirit. As with the Drowned, not all who
die of hunger become a famine spirit. Someone has to spend most of their life
hungry or wanting of basic necessities. Such as someone living their entire
life in poverty.
LegbasxChild: !
Halo of Noire: This person then must be given the chance to raise themselves
from their poverty in some way, and have it snatched from them, causing them
to perish of starvation and frustration."
Halo of Noire: "Yes, Lucy?"
LegbasxChild: "Uh, sorry if you ain't got to this part yet'n I'm jumping the
gun but, how do put that poor creature to rest?"
LegbasxChild: *do yoooou
Halo of Noire: "That's another class. For now, I am merely giving you their
origins." She gave her a wink and grinned. "I'll let you know when I teach on
how to destroy them."
Halo of Noire: "Now, due to the time, we'll end it here. Next week we'll
talk about ghasts, ghosts and ghouls - liches and mummies and nightshades and
the like."
Angelic Omicidio: "Oh my"
LegbasxChild: Destroy wasn't so much her aim as was helping a restless soul
find peace. A ghost of a frown tugged at her mouth, and she slouched in her
seat.
Halo of Noire: She'd tell how that could happen too.
Halo of Noire: "Any questions or comments before we end?"
LegacyofBIue: No no, this was fun!
Angelic Omicidio: She shook her head a bit.
LegacyofBIue: ~!
SeanNiteHawk: no questions at this time
Halo of Noire: "Yes Lexi my Dear?"
Angelic Omicidio: "Sexi Lexi.." Cat call.
LegacyofBIue: Lexi bounced in her seat, eyes wide and shining. "Do you make
them in your classes Mela??" She woudl really debate taking up a new hobby.
Teeth eagerly bit at her lower lip as she 'transformed' from ancient hag to
bouncy little kid
x Silver Heat x: Well, that was a fairly interesting class. Akito didn't
know there were any differences or how they got to 'undead' status. He
shifted in his seat a bit as the class was coming to a close. He turned to
listen to the audience feed-
x Silver Heat x: back.
LegacyofBIue: Go fig...she loved playing with dangerous undead things.
Halo of Noire: "
Halo of Noire: "I am not a skilled necromancer, but I am sure that Aderyn
could make a few of these." She snickered softly.
LegacyofBIue: Hands excitedly came together and clapped with sheer delight.
"Fantastic!!! Thank you!!!"
Halo of Noire: "Well, then, you are all dismissed and I thank you for
attending."
Halo of Noire: (Log off)
