An animated ethereal triton sentry drifts in, gliding swiftly just above the ground. 03/07/2012 11:20 AM CST
So for kicks one morning I figured I would animate a Triton Sentry.
These can be quite tricky since they are non corporeal and fade really quickly. And according to the cartographer, Tsoran about a Level 103.

This is a pure which normally isn't the best animate.

I brought it town spelled it up and took it out to the temple.

Here are a few things I saw it do. Please note these this isn't an actual combat log but bits and pieces from my hunt.

An animated ethereal triton sentry's hollow eye sockets become clouded with a muted purple fog. An odd wave of energy distorts the air, rippling outward from the sentry, inspiring a strange sensation within you that begins to encroach upon your thoughts.

The siren gives a plaintive wail before she slumps to her side and dies.

Billions and billions of tiny executioner bits shower everything.
Quite severely dead.
A single item, about 4 feet from the void, was picked up and sucked toward the blackness. The item did more mutilation to the corpse. The void disappears without further incident.


A severed executioner arm skitters across the ground, twitching like a snake slithering towards its prey, and leaving a trail of blood and flesh. Quickly, it reaches towards a triton radical, but can't seem to grab him.

An animated ethereal triton sentry swings a twisted soot black runestaff at a triton radical!

This was fun but for the best bang for your buck for an animate in Nelemar, I recommend a Triton Radical.

I asked the Sentry to magic me. It really only gave me Fasthr's Reward.

That was a fun read. The following made me laugh out loud for some reason:

Much to your horror, a devastating inferno of flaming rocks ignite the entire sky and smite the area!

Rather than making me think of Carl Sagan it made me think of Carl Sagander from Duck tales first.

Billions and Billions of meteorites/bees/dollars.

It was practically all he says in that episode. Shows my age group i'd bet. Anybody younger would be like huh? and older would think of Carl Sagan first.
