Cherry-Pickage Toasted
Posted: 18 Apr 2011 20:11
Donut Dwellers,
Earlier today I noticed Lavellan was looking a bit strange. There was this odd
twinkle in his eye, and when I asked him how things were going, rather than the
customary shrug, I was met with just a wry smirk. When I pressed him for some
clue as to what this meant, he casually mentioned that he had just finished
having an extended tea with Armageddon. "Oh, Lord," I thought. This certainly
couldn't be good. After this, Lavellan pretended to take a nap, but I knew he
was just having a secluded giggle at my expense.
Fortunately (and unknown to Lavellan) I have many old scores to settle with
Armageddon. Let's just say the guy owes me. So, after a few minutes of
increasingly frank talk, Armie grudgingly admitted that Lavellan had slipped
something odd into his drink, and that it had somehow altered the fabric of
reality. He wasn't proud of it, but he couldn't deny that it had happened.
That Lavellan! What a sly dog ...
In any case, the difference that will probably be noticed by those who walk the
donut will be that imbuements will no longer show up as "unusual", "peculiar",
or "exotic" until after whatever was wearing or wielding them has been killed.
Presumably, this will eradicate the practice of "cherry-picking" that was
almost unanimously decried on the forums. It will be up to all of you to
discover any further subtleties to this new arrangement. I'd give you more
specific information if I could, but between Armageddon being sulky and
Lavellan being secretive, I am left to reading tea leaves - literally!
