[Catacombs, Some Scary Room]
You see scary looking descriptions, and a flickering portal. You also see a giant rat, and a giant rat.
Obvious exits: north, south

>go portal

[Heroic Catacombs, Some Really Scary Room]
You see the same descriptions as you did on the other side of the portal, but everything looks scarier and angrier. You also see a really giant super angry rat, and a really giant super angry rat.

A really giant super angry rat tries to bite you!

It seems you have died, my friend...


[Upper Dragonsclaw, Forest]
You see descriptions and a portal. You also a see a kobold.

>go portal

[Heroic Upper Dragonsclaw, Forest]
Same as above but super scary and stuff. Big pissed off kobold here too.


A big pissed off kobold pins you to the ground and then throws up all over you!
...45270489 damage.

You die.

A big pissed off kobold throws up again on your corpse for good measure.



Don't act like you've never thought about capped rats and kobolds before...

The blood diamonds from DR appraise at 40k, if I recall. Just throwing that out there.

"The Elf would be more than willing to 'rent' an animated Troll King, as an example to stroll around with him. . . " -- Doug

Am I the only one humming, "Puttin' on the Ritz" and thinking if we can get top hat & tails for animates to wear? I can't be the only one...

Now there's an idea--not just the rats and roltons, but the portals!

Portals that appear randomly like Confluence entrances, with one or two per realm. They move around every one or two days and lead to a mirror world with superpowered versions of whatever normally lives there. A new reason to log in regularly! Will today's surprise hunting be capped kappas (greatest kappas?!) or night mares that are nightmares?

>Cow level?

There is no cow level.

A great big resounding, "YES PLEASE!" to the whole "add more golems" debate!
Don't hog them all at the high end of the game, either, but share the love lower down, too!

Kobolds will have to up their prank game. Having one kneel behind you while the other one pushes you won't cut it at cap.

They should have a maneuver attack that knocks you out and while you're asleep they draw phallic objects on your face and laugh like frat boys while yelling THAT'S WHAT YOU GET BRO!

The Ilvari were one of my favorites for sure. Even though they can be annoying at times, they're just so unlike anything else that I really missed them when I got past their bounty range. Looking forward to my two level 61 characters getting back there soon enough.
