Stones carry stories

Odessey stones I've used: 3...and each has a story

1) We're camping a particular mob for a quest...been waiting 15 min. We're lvl 18ish and a solo lvl 23 enters the area and camps RIGHT ON TOP OF THE SPAWN POINT. I send a tell stating how long we've waited and that we'll move after we get just one pop. She says, "all is fair in love and war"

I ported her.

5 min later she's back in CL /ooc trying to figure out why her Call of the Overlord went off.

I told my group what happened and we laughed until our mob popped.

2) I was solo harvesting on my way to the FG. A SK on horse back overtakes come from behind and cast Fake Death (makes me stop what I'm doing and lay flat on the ground...helps draw agro off you in fights) he then procedes to harvest the node I was on and gallup away faster than I could run. After sprinting towards the next node I figured he'd gallup towards I sent a "hello" tell, followed by Odessey. Before he could reply with something nasty he was back in longshadow alley.

I then proceded to rip him a new one verbally and report him.

3) In FG we were doing well getting those Giant wretches we needed. Another group entered the area, trained a mob on us and killed us off. Then they sent tells and laughed at us. We revived, made our way down and while they were begining a fight against constructs I ported their tank home...they soon broke and ran. The funniest thing was that their caster was AFK for some dumb reason so after the train killed the whole group it WALKED back and mauled the AFK caster.

In EVERY situation the griefing ended immeadiately. The SK even apologised after yelling at me for a sec. We are inquisitors, we MUST enforce the law of the overlorded. We are just, though our justice may be cruel.

--this was meant as a reply to "odessey stones a rip off?" but somehow ended up as a new post...i'm...sry?--

I've never had to use my Odyssey spell, but it was a comfort knowing I could prevent rude people from having their way if it really came to it. But they are making Odyssey a group-only spell in the big patch this week.

I know exactly why they're making it group only; to prevent potential unfair griefing. I agree with the move entirely, as not every priest will be just in their use of this spell. And by nerfing the SK fake death spell too, they will eliminate 1 instance I felt just in using this tool.

But I know that in a month I'll long for the power to play GM so I can "right" the wrongs other players can still commit...the worst being trains in dungeouns.

If only there was a way to have my cake and eat it too!
