Faustus: zen garden
Tue Aug 3 16:14:58 2004
As you all may or may not have noticed, we have a new area today, the
"Zen Garden." I'm not going to tell you are where it is, but given the name
of the area, it connects to an area where you would logically expect to find
it. The area is for mid-level morts, but be aware before you go all out,
the area has a few new tricks that haven't been seen elsewhere in the mud.
Hope you all enjoy...

IDEAS:
Lehua: kenders can't hide if they're flying? i mean a flying kender does attract attention..
Avio: corpses should come up on scan. if you can see mobs around you, you should be able to see a dead body on the floor.
Criterion: a special skill for demons... we can walk the shadow paths... these are special hallways with doors
that let out at various points. only way to access these hallways is from special rooms. doors aren't labeled.

It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world everday always just exactly fits in the newspaper.
