kodoz

Spined bone mage armor? whoo boy...this will take a while...

Hmmm....perhaps we can use some of the treasury in such a venture. If memory serves me right we have an extreme amount of money in the treasury, if not i shall shut up.

Kodoz who lives in the desert near the temple of the army of the sands awoke in a sudden rush as he attacked...nothing. Kodoz knew something was wrong. He sensed that there was danger or at least highly hostile beings nearby. Kodoz slept on the cold stone floor of his balcony tonight as he had been watching the stars. In the darkness he thought he saw motion, and glanced around quickly. He grabbed an ornate bow from his table and shot a flaming arrow in the direction of the motion. It lit up the area as it hit, but revealed nothing. Kodoz then used a spyglass and peered at the Pyramid. There was light coming through the cracks in the stone! Kodoz hurriedly donned his best armor, and his best lance and his old shield. Atop his Armored swamp dragon who was black and hid in the night, Kodoz threw a hooded shroud over himself to conceal the reflections off his armor. As he slowly rode towards the pyramid he felt worse and worse about the coming situation. As he got near it, he could hear the whimpers and sobs of something, and went up top. He put his swamp dragon to stay atop the pyramid, and then as quietly as possible he slipped down the hole. The moment he was in he knew someone had been here. He doused his torch when he noticed the wall torches were already lit. there were pieces of skeletons and zombies all about, and the occasional mummified remains of a dried out corpse. as he quickly and silently crept down the stairs, the whimpering became louder. He was now extremely perplexed because he knew no human was able to stay alive down at the bottom in their best shape, much less wounded. He walked slowly, imitating one of the mute restless souls he had once seen in doom. Nothing seemed to pay him any attention. When he got down to the bottom floor, he finally found the whimperings source. The behemoth Sphynx was curled in a corner licking a wound where its arm used to be and whimpering the whole time. Kodoz crept closer for a better glance when the Sphynx started sniffing the air. Suddenly it screamed, and came charging at him. Kodoz did his best to avoid the attack, but his lengthy shroud slowed him, and the Sphynx hit him a glancing blow, knocking him to the ground. Kodoz rolled to the right as he was falling and ripped the tattered shroud from him revealing his PGoH attire. The Sphynxes screams doubled in volume. At least now Kodoz had an idea of what did this. Kodoz made a mad scramble for the secret exit, and was almost within arms reach of the doors switch, when his armor was blown at his back and became red hot, singing his back. Kodoz gritted his teeth to use the pain to keep himself from blacking out, and realized he only had one chance. He hurled his lance at full speed at his target. He hit it, and with a scream the Sphynx once again charged him. Kodoz however dove towards the doorway that his lance had hit the switch for. As he made it out he tossed a firebomb at the doorway and kept the sphynx in. Kodoz then sprinted up to the top once more after hearing his swamp dragon fighting, and came up to see many skeletons swinging their axes to avail against its armor as it swung a skeleton from its mouth side to side. Suddenly Kodoz saw a glittering medallion upon one of the enemies, and seeing what enemy it was he leapt astride his mount and rode full speed to his home and watched the cruelly smiling face of the enemy with the glittering medallion slowly grow farther and farther away. He then knew that he had to inform the others if they werent already. However when he got to Olympus he was informed of the situations, and cursed himself at not having been able to help Doddz when he needed it. He hid his back from the others, not wishing to be pitied. He was in the mood for some definite payback, For himself, for Doddz, and most assuredly for that medallion bearing enemy. This time, he wouldnt be alone but with the other guardians. It was time to show them who they were dealing with.

Im glad that you are okay brother and sympathize with the loss of your vehicle. Safe journeys in the future

Good tro have you back brother

I will attempt to do so Milord, and Will begin brainstorming possible ideas for this event. I would like others to still think up ideas for this. Thanks!

1. Remember, when hunting alone you are 4 times as weak, if you use only healing. Healing someone else takes 3 seconds, healing yourself takes 12 rezzing someone takes 9. 2. Never pursue a badly hurt enemy that is fleeing. Pull its lifebar out and double click it like mad in war mode. It will come to you if you do so. This can also be helpful with a fast enemy (vorpal bunny) get its healthbar out and double click to lead it to you. 3. I highly suggest you have 2 methods of healing. For mages, magery/healing or magery/chivalry, for warriors healing/chivalry is ideal. This will save you so many deaths. 4. The most common mistake ever made is to wait until your around 10 hp before you run when alone. i do this and get killed. you run when you hit 40 or less especially vs mage type enemy. To be continued...

im going to lock down a runebook with rnes to lunas vendors, pgoh olympus, novitus sanctum, and marcas vendors at the pgoh mall within this week.

i have some devious if you want to live dangerously

Nope the telescope is not in any of the former UO games. I happen to own all of the NES Ultima games, and the giant telescope is not even a sidenote in any of these games. So it has no true reason that anyone i know can discern.

spell channeling chaos shield? youve gotta be kidding me! ive got tons!

the thing is, you can get kickass items off crap critters with no luck. but the fact is if you had luck, that item wouldve been even better. or perhaps youd get another item along with that.

I am going to write my own personal PVM guide whether you are solo or grouped, but i need your help! if you have strategies, tactics, or anything to add please pigeon it to me! this will probably take a few days, probably a week or two, but once complete should allow all PGoH to know how to handle themselves in any situation. Wolf, it is something akin to your old battle tactics, however revised and specialized for trammel/malas/ilshenar fights, with a possible addendum for felucca after i get down what i know best. I hope this will help all of us out and again pigeon me with your thoughts!

Im glad you are finished with the move and that it went smoothly, hope to hunt with you again soon

All i can tell you is, when i first came upon it, it was right after AoS came out, so i thought it had just been created. But i was informed it had been there since, if i remember right, 3rd dawn, but im not 100% sure on that, ask wolf he will probably know...

ooh kodoz may want for later

not when you hit the 800 and higher luck, and 900+ is when you can get items that can be up to 50% damage increase! Woohoo

For those of you who are thinking of quitting, because you think that PGoH is dying or falling into a slowly spinning spiral of intraguild conflict, hatred, and malice, i have but a few simple statements to make. Our leadership, past, present, and future shall always do what is best for the PGoH. if you do not trust them with your fate, then you may have to find a new spot. We cannot let anything that has been said or done tear us apart like this. This may sound hypocritical due to a few past conflicts of mine, but I have learned from them. As said in the most widely sold book in the world, united we stand, divided we fall. Our ideals, beliefs, and conduct will not change. We will continue to conduct all actions in the honorable manner that has always been PGoH. Our members, leaders, freinds, and retirees cannot and will not let this farcical dispute continue. It neither brings honor nor pleasure to the house of PGoH, and merely serves to make us weaker while making those who are prejudiced against us seem more true than they are. for some of you who have criticized Borg and the others who retired for not telling us themselves, the ABSOLUTE NUMBER ONE RULE IS THAT REAL LIFE SUPERCEDES THE GAME. As far as im concerned Borg has actually been more public than I would have been. As a rule I never use my real name on the internet, no matter what. I would also not have let others know my phone number.Most of you would probably not give others in the guild such information. And yet Borg trusts you all more than you think, and definitely more than some of you trust him. Lets live up to that trust. As someone else i heard of but cant remember who said, that those who hate you dont win unless you hate them. This guild will survive because of those who cannot and will not let it die. I consider myself one of these, and will not let the dreams, beliefs, and principles of this guild cease to be, even if the I and I alone was in it, and the name was changed to the Purple Guardian(singular) of Honor. You are the only one however who can make this decision, and no matter what you must make a decision. Failing to decide is deciding to fail. Do not let your tempers get the better of you, and do not let yourself be influenced by petty insults as i once was. If you have something to add, you can as long as it is not a jab or a gripe you have with a person. Do not fill this thread with gripes, insults, or accusations you have. fill this with your thoughts, and nothing that will offend others. if i have offended you i apologize but this is all i can say and it is straightforward and to the point. thank you for your time.

I can help with many pricings, but be forewarned i usually tend to give low sell prices, as i tell you what i would pay for it or i would personally sell for. I can give you a fair degree of whether anyone would buy or not as i used to be a 'middle class' player in UO with my money situations, so i know the general thoughts and buying prices for most players

I am once again sorry to hear that you shall never be with us in the hallowed halls of PGoH Olympus, but wish you the best of luck in all you do, and safe journeys.

*kodoz slowly and carefully adds a return message* Wolf, you will forever hold a place in my heart for being my mentor, my master, and my teacher. You were one of those[ooc: in UO ] that could help recalibrate my ethical compass, always the one with mirth and morale in mind along with myself. you wrote the book on dedication, tactics, and true leadership. I would do anything to make you change your mind, and will do anything in my power. I hope you return to our hallowed halls inside PGoH Olympus at one point, and wish you the best in all you do. [ooc:No matter if it is real life, or any of a dozen virtual worlds, Safe journeys, Good luck, strength and honor, and farewell my friend.] I will miss you for all time, both as a companion, friend, student, and ally. Please venture safely wherever you go and live by the strength of your will and ideals. And remember, if you must stand alone for your ideals and beliefs, then do so. They are the only things worth dedicating your life to and guiding your life from. *Kodoz appends his Signature stamp, and remembering that wolf made it, gives a bit of a sniffle, but cannot find it in himself to shed a tear, for all these feelings were burned out of him by the harsh and cruel environments he inhabits, and he hasnt shed tears in years, even at funerals. However his regret and sorrow are deep and profound, and cant ever let himself forget those who have helped him and those that he has failed to save or help in their times of needs. As he hands Wolf the letter, he salutes him with the most respect hes ever had for the Ancient Gladiator, not merely due to his leaving, but because of why he has chosen this path. Regardless of personal loss, Wolf lives and breathes by his ideals, and that is why all should respect him. He then shakes hands, and walks out the door without looking back....* [ooc: if i ever hook up in shadowbane or any other games in future, ill contact you. I also hope you make this not permanent but temporary, but the choice is yours and yours alone. CHOOSE WISELY. ]

of course this is not to say that you should onlysee your knight or your centurion, but be reasonable, some people have other things in life, and we must accept this. I will also start working far more closely with all legionnaires regardless of cohorts as i am extremely active and as some say, Generous. *blushes* I believe this is all coming to a head, but give it till Saturday, and we will begin working this out.

I also Agree fully. We are doing these discussions in order to get us stronger and more active, not to isolate, aggravate, or assault any person or their actions. So stop the arguing, Vote, and come up with ideas that are constructive and not destructive.

I will be indisposed the duration of the work week (today till friday after noon) Due to circumstances beyond my control thank you.

Martok, im sorry you feel that way. I also wish for you to know that we hold no ill will for our emperor, but must do something in a time of need. we therefore have to choose a new emperor for our guild or it will be shortlived. I am sad that you feel of us as 'backstabbing powerhungry kids' because of one possibly misinterpreted comment from someone else. I wish you would reconsider and return to UO after a short jaunt in SB, but understand your feelings. we still respect and honor our first and foremost emperor, Borg, and i wsih you would help us rebuild. Thank you for your time
