[Upper Dragonsclaw, Boulder]
The crest of the towering boulder affords a good view of the surrounding countryside. To the north, you see the dense forests of the Lower Dragonsclaw. Looking northeast, the verdant grasslands sprawl down towards the coast. Gazing southward at the slopes, in the distance you see the snow-covered summits of the Dragonsclaw mountain range, shrouded in perpetual mist. You also see the Paley disk and some tree bark.
Also here: Scoonie who is lying down, Pompean who is seated, Sicarium, Journeyman Kunnidheart, Ryio, Melma, Shonnin, Lord Covannent, Drektor, Shaukal, Xurain, Lord Zeyrin, Lady Paley, Ikenn, Lord Jamus who is lying down
Obvious paths: down.

Kunnidheart exclaims, "Sorry!" reg

I'm not very familar with wizards dueling tactics, but whats with the minor shocks? Wouldn't you have been better off casting fire or another more powerful spell? Just trying to get a feel for his defense?

Chiv reg

Yeah, basically. He said he was level 12. I'm 16, so I didn't want to just blast him, using sign of madness and possibly kill him with fire. I didn't think his maximum AS would be even close to 270 even with madness. I'm still trying to figure that one out. reg
well, he coulda had strength casted at him, and maybe thats another reason for the high attack.But I am like 38 almost 39, and I swing exactly 270 with symbol of courage, and a 4x blunt. I think he may have been a bit older than he said....but many lie about their age just to win a duel. most think I am younger than I say because I look so young.
