And thank you for running stuff in the Underdark! We needed it!

Player Announcements / Heads Up on Future House Raven...
Last post by Arya - Apr 13, 2025, 12:58 AMHi everyone, got a quick announcement to make!
I had to think about this a lot after receiving a few requests to make a Ravenshadow character, and let it sit a while and talk with the staff.
However, after the outcome of ATAE, and considering the rough logistics of House Ravenshadow to start, I am (and really, we are) no longer going to allow anyone to make applications for the family being already born to them. I am fine with the idea of a lost relative who needs recognized by plotlines and NPCs as a sort of quest reward to become part of the clan, and I am fine with the idea of earning from the NPCs a sort of adoption and consolidation into the line. Those I feel are the only ones I can in good conscience promote as ways to have a clan member now.
There had been someone who wanted to find a way to have Daeatria's fraternal sun elf twin sister still alive, and I may allow them to do that if they take interest again, but that is about it. I also had the discussion with staff revolving around the fact there are only so many nobles of a single line who could become adventurers before it breaks immersion.
This feels for the best, I think. Much love to you all!
Best wishes,
Arya

- Consolidated all the lore DM NPC areas into one area and removed old DM NPC areas (with help from Lady)
- Removed the old Highmoon areas from the module
- Added the correct teleport key to Highmoon
- Aboleth T4 dungeon creature balance update (Alice)
- Lake of Shadows updated (Misty)

- Fixed a few T5 and T6 items being placed in the wrong loot table
- Removed Hunter's Down book from the loot table
- Put more doggy treats in Lunar Light dungeon (Lady)
- Fixed a typo in the name of an Arabel council chamber NPC
Scripts
- (Blinding Speed) Fixed an exploit
- (Werewolf) Updated the werewolf hybrid form to a higher quality model
- (Shadow Double) Spell now has the correct duration when cast from a sequencer
- (Implosion) Improvement to Implosion damage calculation
- (Arcane Warrior) Channel Spell won't eat potions anymore
- (Warlock) Devour Magic now works more like the PnP version, providing 5 temporary hit point per successfully dispelled spell level for 2 minutes to the caster. This also means that the spell now can't dispel spells cast by the warlock.
- Added a dummy epic spell script to let people waste spell slots and show a DM they cast a spell, for unimplemented spells
- Added a new VFX accessory NUI system, accessible through /vfx and /customize. Note that players will have to manually add back accessories they had, as the old system has been fully removed. Thankfully, this new system will let us add new accessories much more easily! (Raysiel, with a lil' help from Pope)

Last post by ihmajin - Mar 23, 2025, 12:12 PMI want to pass along my praise and my gratitude for every player and character that I've had the pleasure of interacting with as Vedras Belvinde, the Paladin whom I've retired, and as Tharuk Besk, the brusque half-orc Fighter.
It has been many years since I've last felt like I belonged to a roleplaying community. Thank you Cormyr and the Dalelands.
