800 isn't that big of a number... ;)
It's plenty big enough for me... I've been lingering around for years, and my post growth rate is abysmal. Years ago, I predicted I would hit 1000 at some point... at this rate, I don't think it's ever going to happen.
My dearly beloved,
They say "happiness is a golden poem" Well, you give me happiness, so this is a haiku about gold, to express my love for you.
Gold.
Really shiny gold.
The best thing in my life. Ever.
Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever. Ever.
Love,
Mr. S
No makes me seem like a pessimist.
Yes makes me seem like a mindless, approving drone.
However, I decided in the end to vote no. Because I cannot approve of this action without further, conclusive information.
Ok, so...

Get a shovel. Go into the back, locked courtyard of the Tyrant's Castle, go to the sundial, and two steps past the noon mark, dig. You will be in the tyrant's tomb antechamber. To enter the tomb proper, use the spell "remote manipulation" on the lever behind the gate.
That ought to do you fine for now.
I want my casket to be walked into my funeral. While The Who's "Eminence Front" is playing. Genius, right?
I remember seeing that... it was long and complicated... but I don't have a copy. Katerei first sent me the link. My guess is that she has it, if anybody does.

Not too clear, no, and why couldn't the Seldane have just dropped the land in a ring around the Cytherans?
You make a fair point, that I could justify, but it would take some work. I'll work on editing the story over the next week or so, and I'll see if I can fix your duly noted problem. Thanks for the help!

Nice to see you back!
Interesting premise, but you left one major plothole - there's no reason given that explains why the Seldane had to strike precisely at that spot, so when they do, it seems as if they're just being spiteful and vindictive. You really needed to explain exactly why they couldn't strike sooner, and spare the village. Not easy, I know; I can't think of any good reason, myself.
Funny thing is, I actually had a reason worked into there. I guess I couldn't make it clear enough. It was that they were acting on a large scale, and had to wait until there was enough distance between the Cytherians and the Cashormins to strike, and it just happened to be in the village. I tried to make that clear by not having them strike when the Cytherians were surrounded by the Cashormins, but I should have made that clearer. Thanks for the advice!
Also, thanks to CrazyChick!
Yes it was. From the beginning, I wanted it to end with him screaming, in inconsolable anguish. It was just a problem of getting there.
(edit)Oh, and, of course, thank you! Where are my manners?(/edit)
