DM help urgently needed

Post by Dom Carr » Mon Dec 19, 2005 6:59 pm

Help,
My character Jade Summerset ran into a trap in the Northern residences upstairs in a house whilst...borrowing things... and I cant find the house or my body and i have precious little time. Serves me right I know... but it feels like someones getting at me. Robbed loads of houses and never seen a trap. I have been given permission by the Shadow Dirks.. nay TOLD that I have to give them 15000gold or else, and then I got arrested by the bloody guard when I didnt have my body...
I think I have searched all the houses. Will keep trying. Can someone please help?
Dom Carr PP Jade Summerset.

If you are asking for a DM to take you back to your body, that is not going to happen.

IG actions have IG consquences. If you can't find your body, anything left on your corpse when the server resets will be returned do you.

I'd suggestion asking another player to help you, though you'll want to be careful about who you approach for that :P

thanks. Only posted this because I was advised to do so by a player I got to help me look. I wasnt asking for miracles, and I didnt know that If I had lost my stuff I would get it back when the server reset. I have founds it now... The other PC thought that the upstairs rooms were random, and I could have lost my body or csomething. Anyway, doesnt matter any more. I know in game actions have in game consequences. I had to go to every house with the thought thay may have "reset" themselves, and hence wiped my body. thanks anyway. :)

Glad to hear you found what you were looking for.

As for the houses, AFAIK the insides are not dynamic, unless one of our amazing coders has been working overtime (well, more overtime I should say). So, yes, whenever you die and leave a body, it should be in that same place when you go looking for it.

Not all the EDF members wear armor and beat you with a sword when they see you stealing...

1+1=2. yeah I'll have to remember that...
Thanks for the advice. But this is what happened to me:-
Got caught by a shadowy organisation and given 2 weeks to come up with 15k - that was the cool bit...
Hit a trap!!! that killed me in one of the houses...
Couldnt find my body...
Got caught by the EDF and fined 1000 gold (off the 15k I already owe)
Spent 1 hour looking for my body...
Got twatted by one of the Shadowy aformentioned "gangsters" even though I had been told I could work that area to pay off my debt (oh and he probably put the trap there too).
Spent more time looking for my body until I finally found it...
(1+1+1+1+1+girlfriend not understanding I couldnt find my bodyand wanting me to put curtains up)x(smart arse putting wise assed post on forum after the fact that helps me not one bit but makes me feel more stupid than I already do) = a shit night on my PC. So thanks for that. I know it was all my fault and getting my nose rubbed in it dosnt help.
Having said that, if you'd have done it I would have said the same. If I knew how to do quotes. Which is all together to smart for my liking. So there. :P

You could always mine or or make kits or something to get the money... maybe freelancing is a poor idea, eh?

Sucks that you had trouble getting your body though.

Thanks Hert,
You are right... Im trying to be a tailor and walk the straight line... At the moment its such a long process tho, and them dudes'll kill me if I dont get their money... Just one big job and it'll all be over.
after all, I cant be a famous adventurer when I steal off commoners to pay the bills - its all soooo sordid!
A trade like tailor will suit me well... When Im free from the erm... shadow men...
I AM a good person.... :twisted:

So.... when you say youd save me from those baddies... what do you exactly mean? I COULD end up being caught between 2 factions pushed and pulled one way and the other, not knowing who to trust or what to do, constantly worrying about being killed by anonymous assassins 10 times harder than I am...

Well, I was more thinking "renounce thievery and convert to Gorethar" but stool pigeon will work...
