One more...

You are prepared to do the skill.
You swing your Nightfall in a mighty arc and hit Someone. Your blow goes
straight through the defences - you score a CRITICAL hit! Looks like your blow
hit where it really hurts. You swing around and quickly strike again, hitting
nicely. You proceed in the combination by stepping forward and slamming your
opponent with your shield weakly. The opportunity presents itself and you kick
your opponent, causing slight bruises. Ghost of Tamra whispers 'RAUGH!' and
strikes at Someone with its full might, which is an awesome display of ghostly
might.

Have to admit, that even though my comments about animist mount level titles
can be interpreted as me not appreciating the guild and the mounts, the
opposite is true.

Like with riftwalkers, during the (long) beginning phase, it is you who
supports your mount (or your entity), but after a while it turns the other way
around.

And then the fun begins!

Not so active weekend this time, but made some progress in various fronts:

Didn't remember how much fun it actually was to to restores. Managed to
complete 3 DIVINE ones during Sat-Sun and noticed that the difficulty varies a
bit: The fastest was 2 minutes 50 seconds and the slowest took the rest of the
boot (managed to finish it about one hour before boot).

More to come since still no increase in the purity despite the restores!

time even led both parties to kill
* Congregation now above pfe!
* 2% more Righteousness

Very nice exploring at the pyramid - found all the rods and managed to open
the door downstairs finally...

Still wondering if there is anything interesting to be found downstairs or if
the only way to the Medusa is the hard way and apprently Pharaoh is not
wearing anything...

Plenty of playing this weekend, but even some progress for a change:
* Some 10%+ animist rep
* About 5% of Congregation
* 1% of Righteousness
* Way to 2 eq-mobs found and cleared

Still:
* No purity
* Congregation one % below pfe
* I led neither of the eq-mobs (and didn't even kill either)

So I guess some more work is still needed...

No wonder the good_relig guys and gals are considered to be pussies. While
evil_relig people's reputation is displayed by riding the Enormous Fiery
Six-Headed Wyverns from Hell, what do their good_relig counterparts have to
offer...

I guess I'm little by little starting to grasp the idea how these various
masteries develop.

This boots totals: 4% congrgation, 1% righteousness and 10% animist mount
level.

Still no increase in purity - perhaps there's still something I don't know?

This time half a year was not enough, but took closer to one full one:

You fume celestial force and utter the words 'Sanctum circum' (holy bolt) 
Saints smile over you as UNBOUNDED amount of energy merges into your spell.
Surges of holy force coil around your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth forming a
pulsing bolt of divine energy. You twist your wrist and bolt hurls through the
air detonating on Zombie-cop.
Zombie-cop stops existing in this reality.
Zombie-cop is DEAD, R.I.P.
You feel more pure and closer to Las.

Sister Abigail, the abbess of nuns shouts, 'Behold mortals, Sister
Dreoca has been promoted to elder nun'.

[Thu Jan 03 22:47:22 2013 Nun inform ]
Sister Dreoca has been promoted to elder.


Abbess Abigail tells you, 'CONGRATULATION! sister. Your efforts have not been
vain and the long and hard journey you have done to get this position has
ended. The sisterhood now recognizes you as an elder nun and as a token I hand
you this fat ruler. It was used in the dawn of nuns by Sisters of Kofgaad a
long long time ago. Carry it with pride.'
Congratulations! You have just completed Path to sainthood!
You give a plate of penne to Strangler.

Finally! Thanks to everyone who participated to the final food-fest, I really
appreciate your help.

In the end - It wasn't so hard: From the first nun reinc it took just few days
over 11 years from reincing into nuns. And I stayed in the guild for whole of
that time.

And a brief recap of the events leading to previous blog entry:

Started off by soloing the first four demons (small snow devil, Nazur, ice
demon and mist-demon) and made the first 500k points during that - mostly at
Zonni's swamp due to the fact that had to empty the whole swamps once before
mist-demon spawned. Was fun, even though had to leave two Grey slaads alive as
they were mana resisters.

The last six demons (Demonic hunter, Inhoba, Winger, Arzoon, white-hot demon
and Wippa) went down with a party (thank you guys and sorry for not leading a
decent rate). Gained also some 600k points during the demon slaying.

Then only thing that was left was gaining the remaining 1.9M points. Too bad
that double exp didn't help on those, but what it did help was that experience
accumulated at quite a nice pace :)

In total, it took some 10 hours, mostly soloing (managed to spend some 2h with
the kids in the middle as well :>) and in addition to getting the task done,
managed to escape with 5.2M exp!

You are done with the chant.
You are surrounded by fuming white aura as you mutter 'Ez' div' (dispel evil)

Waves of holy force enfold you as dazzling flash erupts from your Misty Rosary
and strikes with terrific force upon A virulent urvile.
Celestial fanfare booms from the heavens.

A virulent urvile suddenly stops breathing and jerks a couple of times
violently, then falls to the ground, lifeless.

Just how slow can you go ...

Your heavy burden slows down your casting.
Saintly touch: ###

Help available on topic:
No saving throw.
Casting time: 2 rounds.
Damage type: magical.
Type of spell: attack spell.
Affecting stats: wis.
Cast type: dispel.
Spell point cost: 38.
Saintly touch is the weakest spell used mostly by young nuns to dispel evil
creatures. When successfully cast, purifying white flames are extracted from
caster's relic, burning a symbol of purity into target's forehead while
inflicting horrific pain. The amount of damage caused depends on the target's
alignment. Knowledge of dispelling increases the effect.

Task exploring turned out to be rather succesful - managed to solo all but one
of the monsters and finally managed to get a party to kill the big boss.
Now it can be revealed that the following evil souls were plotting to murder
the Abbess Abigail:

She-Demon of Sodom
a scary ghost (undead)
A small oak tree
Kuzkur, the overgrown hobgoblin commander
A living skeleton (undead)
Billy Bob Jack eyes you nervously
a warrior skeleton with flaming skull hunting for intruders (undead)
a muscular con man is hiding in the shadows
Renegade Knight of Order of Leitbur
A flame green demon
Curley, the Head Thief draws Viper and grins mischieviously
A snow devil spins around here
the banshee spectre of Napoleon von Huber assaults you (undead)
Sister Joanne the goodness herself (a flaming devil grinning evilly)

And eventually:

A voice of an Angel echoes in your mind, 'EXCELLENT work, you have slain the
entire group of evil beings that have plotted against the guild and you manage
to find their spy. Elders are VERY pleased.'

Eye of Zion shatters into million of pieces.

Looks like it takes some half of the year to either collect the required
amount of blasts or to gather enough motivation to really concentrate on
increasing the purity:
You are done with the chant.
You swing your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth and humbly utter 'Sanctum circum'
(holy bolt) 
Surges of holy force coil around your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth forming a
pulsing bolt of divine energy. You twist your wrist and bolt hurls through the

Accidentally noticed that my crucifix of St. Kaaymeth had improved aura from
last check. Quickly checked the logs and indeed, a week ago:
You are done with the chant.
You utter the magic words 'Rev 'liz' (holy wind) 
You feel a surge of power run through your crucifix.
A flying Seraphim emerges above you creating celestial breath of wind.
You hit Animated Skeleton and Animated Skeleton with your holy wind.
You have a new solo kill option for top10!
Animated Skeleton dies in a massive pool of blood.
Animated Skeleton is DEAD, R.I.P.

So, a crucifix with Sparkling aura nowadays!

I can't help but get a feeling that Faerwon actually is pretty selfish himself
even though he doesn't support selfish actions...

Managed to grasp another point of 'Righteousness' with very limited mob
hunting, but by praying to Faerwon quite often. What do you think about that?
Posted: 02 Feb 2012 22:01 [ permalink ]
Feels nice to get another point of 'Righteousness' at last as I had hell of a
busy last week, worked from 8am to midnight at worst - no time to play.
Maybe I'm back to two points per week rate :)
Posted: 22 Jan 2012 21:41 [ permalink ]
Yay - week ends with increase in both 'Righteousness' and 'Congregation of the
virtuous'...

So, first "party heal" available now with 20% 'Congregation' - offu-parties,
here I come!
Posted: 18 Jan 2012 23:46 [ permalink ]
Finally an increase in Righteousness resulted in promotion:

Another point of Righteousness on top of some moneymaking - damn this is
slow...

Burden of the synod members - carrying the fellow sisters through theis

Finally, after quite a while:

Your mount experience level is currently 'Pig'. You are 0% in to next level.

These reputation levels are really impressive.

Just random killing ending with one point of Righteousness and Congregation
and two points of Holy Warfare. Time for bed.
Posted: 07 Jan 2012 22:45 [ permalink ]
Over six months from the last:
You are done with the chant.

You stare intensively at Rosary of Love and state 'Sanctum circum' (holy bolt)
Surges of holy force coil around your Rosary of Love forming a sparkling bolt
of divine energy. You twist your wrist and bolt hurls through the air slamming
on Ghost.

You utter a prayer for the fallen foe 'In nomine Faerwon. Amen.'

You hear the horrendous death-cry of the Ghost as it dies.

Ghost is DEAD, R.I.P.

You feel more pure and closer to Las.

At 84% now.

One restore and some moneymaking.

Managed to gain one point of Righteousness and three points of Holy Warfare
during, so not a total loss.
Posted: 06 Jan 2012 23:01 [ permalink ]
Few restores again - nothing special. It has been more than half a year since
last point of purity and threrefore been spending sometime holy bolting
undeads.

In addition, gained two points of holy warfare
Posted: 02 Jan 2012 22:14 [ permalink ]
Four saint restores since last update. Extremely nice to do the restores solo,
would've even escaped with some experience on top, but tried to speed things
up and decided not to summon soul mount - Wrong move.

Surprisingly didn't even get an increase in Holy Warfare.
Posted: 01 Jan 2012 14:17 [ permalink ]
Did a first pirate ship for ages. Only 1 red gemmer, but still as easy as
ever.
No idea why I was so scared to even try them after the tune.
Easy 23k gold and 3 training points.
Posted: 31 Dec 2011 23:25 [ permalink ]
Still some more solo-exploring:
1) Tarackia: Not so succesful - The queen in the hut summoned the blockers too
slowly and my first area hit only one of them. Managed to get another in for
all three (killed one), but they beat the crap out of me before the third
area.

2) Underdark: Better - Managed to locate both keyholders, but as they were
manaresist I will have to come back sometime later with some backups perhaps.

Anyways, few new rooms found and another few points of Holy Warfare and one
more point of Congregation secured.
Posted: 31 Dec 2011 15:09 [ permalink ]
Spent some time solo-exploring Caverns of Chaos. Challenging enough to keep it
interesting, but easy enough to keep it funny.
Stopped being fun when met two souls casting imprisonements around the area -
managed to escape with 1 hp left (thank god they were casting harms).
Well, escaped with some 600k exp and 3 new rooms - not a total failure.
Posted: 29 Dec 2011 11:10 [ permalink ]
Almost halfway:
Total of 300053689 experience spent on character.

You are done with the chant.
You kneel down squeezing crucifix of St. Kaaymeth and recite 'Sanctum circum'
(holy bolt)
Surges of holy force coil around your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth forming a
pulsing bolt of divine energy. You twist your wrist and bolt hurls through the
air bursting on White dead pigeon.
You hear the horrendous death-cry of the White dead pigeon as it dies.
White dead pigeon is DEAD, R.I.P.
You feel more pure and closer to Las.

At 83% now.
Posted: 11 May 2011 09:17 [ permalink ]
Everytime these seem to accompany some other accomplishments:

Puffing up your chest, you let out a decent 'AAArrrrr.'

(This time with the completion of a nun-task.)
Posted: 10 May 2011 23:36 [ permalink ]
Sister Alysia smiles at you and says, 'You did a good job and your final
points were 1089988 points and you lasted 12 rounds'
Sister Alysia smiles at you and says, 'Oh you improved your previous score
which is now 1089988 points'

* CONGRATULATIONS! You have completed nun task 'Torment and Agony'*

One more down - still many to go
Posted: 09 Mar 2011 08:57 [ permalink ]
Gotta love the monsters that cannot make up their mind, but still are fast
enough in their moves:

You are using 'turn undead'.
You are prepared to do the skill.
You point at Lady atriel and shout, 'By the power of Cross of Winds, I command
you to TURN!'
Lady atriel screams before your might and runs in panic.
Lady atriel leaves northwest.
Lady atriel arrives from northwest.
Your knowledge about Lady atriel's tactics allows you to evade the ambush.
Lady atriel grins evilly and cackles 'So you came back for more, Dreoca?'
Lady atriel leaves south.
Posted: 14 Jan 2011 15:08 [ permalink ]
On the first attempt after the reinc - 'Arr' finally improved:

Focusing hard, you pull forth a quiet 'AAarrrrr.'

Coincidence or not?
Posted: 02 Dec 2010 16:00 [ permalink ]
You are done with the chant.
You frantically swing crucifix of St. Kaaymeth and shriek 'Sanctum circum'
Surges of holy force coil around your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth forming a
pulsing bolt of divine energy. You twist your wrist and bolt hurls through the
air bursting on Skeleton.
You get bad vibrations as Skeleton's spine snaps with an audible *SNAP*.
Skeleton is DEAD, R.I.P.
You feel more pure and closer to Las.

Purity at 80% - So, now the hard part in raising Purity begins. Or so I am
told at least...

Apparently the weaponsmith at OCP didn't consider me challenging enough
opponent, but decided to fight two zombie cops at the same time:

You spank A robust, ghastly weaponsmith making small marks.
A robust, ghastly weaponsmith waves its index finger while uttering 'fah zur
sanc' (firebolt)
A robust, ghastly weaponsmith hesitates as it casts firebolt.
A robust, ghastly weaponsmith shudders as its firebolt hits Zombie-cop.
There is a fierce combat going on here, beware!
There is a fierce combat going on here, beware!
Holy bolt: ##

After eleven (11) weeks of daily checking for specialists:
There is a special crewmember available today: Trainer (sailor)

The rumour is therefore confirmed - Trainers do exist!

Cheers, first mobprot *EVER*:
a small black and blue demon with huge cranium                   6.2 days left

Finally - after gaining 10% of purity along:

You are done with the chant.
You hop with one leg while praising Las and utter 'Sanctum circum' (holy bolt)
You feel a surge of power run through your crucifix.
Surges of holy force coil around your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth forming a
sparkling bolt of divine energy. You twist your wrist and bolt hurls through
the air detonating on Lazy dead pigeon.
Lazy dead pigeon stops existing in this reality.
Lazy dead pigeon is DEAD, R.I.P.

This is a crucifix made of ebony, crafted by Sister Ingvild for Sister Dreoca.
Its pleasant spicy-resinous scent caresses your entire being. A big dull ruby
is firmly attached to the crucifix. 
The symbol of St. Kaaymeth is engraved at the base.
It is surrounded by a shiny aura.
It is about the size of the palm of your hand.
This wand is in AWESOME condition.
It looks light weight.

So, Shiny aura in crucifix and purity at 74%.
Posted: 03 Sep 2010 09:07 [ permalink ]
Just how many "extra"-messages can you squeeze into one succesful spell:

You are done with the chant.
You hold your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth tightly and exclaim 'Sanctum circum'
Surges of holy force coil around your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth forming a
sparkling bolt of divine energy. You twist your wrist and bolt hurls through
the air detonating on Dread.
(1.) Dread's belt burst into holy flames!
(2.) Due to the presence of the incarnation of prosperity in your continent,
you manage to squeeze the maximum amount of experience by capitalizing on the
kill.
(3.) Your top10 kill 'a scary ghost (undead), 12649 exp' has increased in exp
value!
Dread moves on to happier hunting grounds.
Dread is DEAD, R.I.P.
(4.) You gain divine inspiration, hasting your casting speed.

Of course, would've loved to increase the number of messages with a Purity
increase, but no. Purity still at 71%.
Posted: 29 Aug 2010 13:32 [ permalink ]
Actually I don't have a clue about the odds, but a rather lucky reinc in my
opinion at least:

Abbess Abigail tells you, 'Although you have reincarnated I recognize your nun
soul. I will restore all I can.'
Abbess Abigail tells you, 'You lost 0 percent of the purity of thy heart.'
Abbess Abigail tells you, 'Part of your guild age was permanently lost.'

In addition, kept all the completed quests.
Posted: 24 Aug 2010 15:23 [ permalink ]
And now, right after stating that my hypothesis is correct (see previously
published blog entries) I present evidence that falsifies the hypothesis:
You are done with the chant.
You raise your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth toward the heavens and recite 'Sanctum
circum' (holy bolt)
Surges of holy force coil around your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth forming a
sparkling bolt of divine energy. You twist your wrist and bolt hurls through
the air detonating on Dread.
*****************************************************
Dread sticks you causing a small wound.
Dread misses you.
Dread misses you.
Dread successfully dodges your futile shield.
Dread successfully dodges your futile bite.
You spank Dread making small marks.

You feel more pure and closer to Las.

Therefore, an increase in Purity (70% now) without Divine inspiration.
Posted: 21 Aug 2010 08:47 [ permalink ]
Ok, now fifth time in a row Purity and Divine inspiration accompany each
other. Therefore I'm ready to conclude that every time you get purity with
Holy bolt, you'll also get divine inspiration. Present me evidence that proves
otherwise if you can:

You are done with the chant.
You squeeze tightly on your glimmering crucifix of St. Kaaymeth and utter
'Sanctum circum' (holy bolt)
Surges of holy force coil around your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth forming a
sparkling bolt of divine energy. You twist your wrist and bolt hurls through
the air bursting on Zombie-cop.
Zombie-cop dies in a massive pool of blood.
Zombie-cop is DEAD, R.I.P.
You gain divine inspiration, hasting your casting speed.
You feel more pure and closer to Las.

Purity at 69% now.
Posted: 17 Aug 2010 21:04 [ permalink ]
And the pattern continues... :

You are done with the chant.
You mutter the magic words 'Sanctum circum' (holy bolt)
Surges of holy force coil around your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth forming a
sparkling bolt of divine energy. You twist your wrist and bolt hurls through
the air detonating on Player.
Player loses the privilege to live.
Player is DEAD, R.I.P.
You gain divine inspiration, hasting your casting speed.
You feel more pure and closer to Las.

Purity at 68% now.
Posted: 14 Aug 2010 09:53 [ permalink ]
Makes you wonder if gaining purity and and getting divine inspiration are
connected in some way (cf. blog view dreoca 52640):

You are done with the chant.
You hold your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth close and humbly mutter 'Sanctum
circum' (holy bolt)
Surges of holy force coil around your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth forming a
sparkling bolt of divine energy. You twist your wrist and bolt hurls through
the air detonating on A skeleton.
A skeleton gets an acute case of iron-poisoning.
A skeleton is DEAD, R.I.P.
You gain divine inspiration, hasting your casting speed.
You feel more pure and closer to Las.

Now at 67%.
Posted: 10 Aug 2010 07:54 [ permalink ]
All that is good in one spell:

You are done with the chant.
You raise your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth while muttering 'Sanctum circum' (holy
bolt)
Surges of holy force coil around your crucifix of St. Kaaymeth forming a
sparkling bolt of divine energy. You twist your wrist and bolt hurls through
the air detonating on Leo.
You gain divine inspiration, hasting your casting speed.
You feel more pure and closer to Las.

Purity now at 66%.
Posted: 27 Jul 2010 20:06 [ permalink ]
You are done with the chant.
You cut the air with crucifix of St. Kaaymeth, loudly reciting 'Sanctum
circum' (holy bolt)
You feel a surge of power run through your crucifix.

Only some 10-20 casts after gaining fourth Purity The Crucifix of St. Kaaymeth
finally improves to shine with 'glimmering aura'!
Posted: 27 Jul 2010 16:15 [ permalink ]

Four points of Purity (now at 64%) without any improvements in the crucifix
(now with twinkling aura). Lets see when the next improvement comes.
Posted: 24 Jul 2010 22:32 [ permalink ]
Truly STUNNED through unstun:
Sister Alysia smiles at you and says, 'You did a good job and your final
points were 277851 points and you lasted 7 rounds'
Sister Alysia smiles at you and says, 'Your previous score was 180401 points
higher'

Too bad that eight levels of Tarmalen give only 20% unstun. And even worse is
that I've got time for only one serious attempt at the battlegrounds -
therefore no succesfully completed 'Torment and Agony' for me this weekend...
Better luck next time.
Posted: 24 Jul 2010 00:24 [ permalink ]
Small consolation when trying Torment and agony:

Sister Alysia smiles at you and says, 'You did a good job and your final
points were 458252 points and you lasted 9 rounds'
Sister Alysia smiles at you and says, 'Oh you improved your previous score
which is now 458252 points'

Panicked at first mob on round 9 - ran through 4 rooms with monsters on each
and ended up in a fifth with two monsters... The rest is history.
Posted: 22 Jul 2010 19:20 [ permalink ]
You are prepared to do the skill.
You aim carefully as you toss vial towards Lamp-ghoul.
Vial hits Lamp-ghoul on the head shattering into pieces.
Lamp-ghoul screams in pain as holy water burns its skin.
Lamp-ghoul dies in a massive pool of blood.
Lamp-ghoul is DEAD, R.I.P.

* CONGRATULATIONS! You have completed nun task 'Might of Holy Vials'*

Surprisingly easy this time - managed to complete in slightly over 24 hours.

Three tasks out of seven to complete for elderhood. Wonder which should be
tried next: Vitruosic nun, Good Shepherd, Forces of evil, Vindicator of
justice, Abigail's nightmare, Angelique's cross or Torment and agony...
