This is also where my view on the Code shifted and developed 
from, being my first Paladin I thought I was okay killing people
in cities, but this certainly shaped my view into something different
that really made for some interesting roleplay and ended up with
a lot of people hating me.  


<100%hp 84%m 35%mv 6563tnl (2.34%)> Before a Misty Jungle Ruin
  The ground beneath your feet rises to a incline before you.  Upon it, 
nestled among several huge and hulking banyan trees covered in jungle 
vines, are pillars of roughly hewn rock that seem to have once been a 
structure of some sort.  Age, tragedy and the encroaching of the jungle 
have brought a sense of ancient ruin and history to this place.  Mists swirl
and hover over the ground before and beneath you, adding a curious sense
of mystery to this area.  Deep within the center, you can see a strange, 
almost holy glow pulsing through the mist.  Vines hang down on either side
of you, creating a curtain of sorts.  The ethereal echo of a jaguar sounds,
shaking the serene, almost holy silence of this place.  The caw of a parrot
chases it, the rustle of jungle vine and leaf joining animal to create an 
oddly haunting music.

Within a Misty Ruin
  Ancient, ruined stone pillars rise up before you.  Worn down and broken
with age, it seems as though this place was once a holy shrine and is now
a curious reliquary of memory and magic.  Age has robbed the pillars of most
of their detail, but you can still faintly see magical runes carved in their
sides.  A bit of worn gilt has mostly flaked off their edges.  White, wispy
mists curl around the base of the pillars and the ground beneath your feet.
The surrounding jungle seems to constantly threaten this small place, yet it
is somehow held back by the holy aura of this relic.  Giant banyan trees
covered in vines and moss rise up around this small incline, appearing to
guard it.  A pathway has been opened to the east and west, and the sounds 
of the jungle echo from the south.

Within a Misty Ruin
  Jungle vines hang down in curtains, surrounding this small relic.  Tiny
leaves bud from them, as well as a few thorns and brilliant, lush jungle
blossoms.  Huge banyans stretch their branches overhead and to the east
and south of you.  Between the banyans, vines and other foliage, the 
jungle seems nearly impenetrable.  To the northwest, ancient stone pillars
rise from the ground, each one worn and broken by time.  Beyond them, 
through the jungle moss, vines and blossoms, there seems to be some sort
of white glow emanating from the center of the ruin.  The jungle shies 
away from the pathway north and east, giving you a clear way around the
structure.  Mists curl around the stone pillars, mingling with jungle
vines and adding a mystical quality to the moss and flowers.  Spreading
over the base of this area, you can barely make out the ground through the
mist.

  The mists rise here, blocking the view of the ground completely.  They
mingle and entwine with the jungle vines, creating a misty, green curtain
to separate you from the surrounding jungle.  To the east, eerie stone 
pillars rise up from the mists.  The pillars are worn down with age, but
you can see faded runes carved over their surfaces.  At the center of the
one closest to the path, you can see what looks like a long, vicious claw
mark drawn through one of them.  Beyond the stone pillars, through the mists
there seems to be a white, holy glow emanating from the center of the ruin.
The pathway continues north, where the mists seem to ebb and swirl, and 
south, where they seem to fade slightly.

Within a Misty Ruin
  The reliquary is silent here, strange and seeming out of place in the
middle of this noisy jungle.  White mists swirl and flow through the canopy
of banyan branches and vines that guard this holy place.  Brilliantly
colored blossoms bloom from the vines, emitting a sweet scent to the still
air.  The west and north are completely blocked by the jungle foliage, and
the white mist tangled in it gives the foliage an oddly wall-like look.
To the southwest, you see an ancient ruin.  It seems to have once been a
holy temple comprised of stone pillars.  Some of the pillars still arc
over into buttresses, yet most of the top of the structure has crumbled.
Runes of all types have been carved into the stones, some faded and nearly
unrecognizable by the worries of time, others seemingly newer and revived.
Within the center of the ruin, you can see an odd, white glow emenating
through the mists that swirl throughout.  The path around the ruin goes
to the east or the south.

A Mist-Covered Altar
  Rising from the mists that cover the pathway is a large stone altar.  
What you can see of its base is covered in jungle moss, though the rest 
of it seems untouched by the surrounding jungle.  The altar seems to have, 
at one point, been rather ornately decorated and carved, but the ravages of
time have dulled its edges and robbed it of its gilt.  Now, it is a plain
stone structure, pure and released from its decadent decor.  Runes have
been carved into its surface, and one corner has what looks to be claw 
marks.  A few simple green candles have been placed upon it, their flames
never seeming to ebb no matter how the wind blows.  A stone longspear has
been placed before the candles, simple in its quality and carving.  The 
pathway opens to the south here, to the center of the ruin, otherwise it
continues east and west around the perimeter.

  Stone pillars tower over you, each one showing the ravages of time.  
Their surfaces have been dulled and faded, and jungle moss and vines wrap
around them in a show of nature versus prosperity.  The encroachment of
the jungle is far less than would seem likely, considering the sheer amount
of foliage outside this holy reliquary, yet it still has a hold upon the
place.  The mists surrounding the center of this area glow with a curiously 
white light, a holy emanation that gentles the ruins.  Large blocks of stone 
that have been broken from the original structure are still where they fell, 
and you can see at one point they were lavishly decorated.  Now, the gilt
has faded and chipped, revealing pure stone beneath.  The center of this 
place has been cleared of stone in a small circle.  Jungle vines surround
it, creating a ring of sorts.  The mists clear, revealing dry, packed ground
that shows many footprints.  It seems to be a combat ring of sorts.

body and soul.  She is tall and slim, physically lean and muscular without 
being wiry.  Her hair is golden blond, falling in a straight and shimmering 
curtain over her shoulders and down her back.  Large blue eyes framed with 
pale lashes are set over high cheekbones.  Her skin is deeply tanned, and it
is clear that this woman spends most of her time out of doors.  Several 
freckles scatter over her cheeks and decorate her forehead.  This elven woman
moves with an almost uncanny, lithe grace reminiscient of an prowling animal.
Never far from her hand is a spear that glows with its own holy light.  She
seems a part of it, as though the weapon itself completes her.  Dressed in 
leathers and with her hair hanging free, this elf has a barbaric air 
about her.

Slender and around six feet tall, a figure in simple garb moves with
the grace of the elvenkind.  Elf he is, with high cheekbones and the
delicately pointed ears that curve up and away from his head.  These
stick out more so than some, for his head is shaved and only the red-
brown eyebrows that arch over bright green eyes bespeak what its
color would have been.  Despite the other features that are the rightful
inheritance of elves: strong, pointed chin, slender but muscled limbs, silent
movement and steady step, this elf seems somehow unfinished or incomplete. 
His head hangs low, and his bright eyes are downcast and turned inward. The
silent steps move without the surety of purpose most high elves have. 
Despite the unlikely carriage and mein of this elf, he retains a kindly air
about him.  His ascetic appearance only adds to the impression of humble
goodwill.  Looking closer, you notice that
Niheriva, a male elf, is in perfect health.

the jungle is far less than would seem likely, considering the sheer amount

curtain over her shoulders and down her back.  Large blue eyes framed with 
pale lashes are set over high cheekbones.  Her skin is deeply tanned, and it
is clear that this woman spends most of her time out of doors.  Several 
freckles scatter over her cheeks and decorate her forehead.  This elven woman
moves with an almost uncanny, lithe grace reminiscient of an prowling animal.
Never far from her hand is a spear that glows with its own holy light.  She
seems a part of it, as though the weapon itself completes her.  Dressed in 
leathers and with her hair hanging free, this elf has a barbaric air 
about her.

'FLANK ATTACK' FLANK

Using their shield to keep their opponent in one place, a paladin will
circle his opponent to strike the weaker flank. This attack takes a few
rounds to set up for, as the paladin must find an opening and assess his
foe's weak points.

The form of an elf stands before you, every inch a warrior in bearing, 
body and soul.  She is tall and slim, physically lean and muscular without 
being wiry.  Her hair is golden blond, falling in a straight and shimmering 
curtain over her shoulders and down her back.  Large blue eyes framed with 
pale lashes are set over high cheekbones.  Her skin is deeply tanned, and it
is clear that this woman spends most of her time out of doors.  Several 
freckles scatter over her cheeks and decorate her forehead.  This elven woman
moves with an almost uncanny, lithe grace reminiscient of an prowling animal.
Never far from her hand is a spear that glows with its own holy light.  She
seems a part of it, as though the weapon itself completes her.  Dressed in 
leathers and with her hair hanging free, this elf has a barbaric air 
about her.
Baerinika, a female elf, is in perfect health.

An Ancient Ruin
  Stone pillars tower over you, each one showing the ravages of time.  
Their surfaces have been dulled and faded, and jungle moss and vines wrap
around them in a show of nature versus prosperity.  The encroachment of
the jungle is far less than would seem likely, considering the sheer amount
of foliage outside this holy reliquary, yet it still has a hold upon the
place.  The mists surrounding the center of this area glow with a curiously 
white light, a holy emanation that gentles the ruins.  Large blocks of stone 
that have been broken from the original structure are still where they fell, 
and you can see at one point they were lavishly decorated.  Now, the gilt
has faded and chipped, revealing pure stone beneath.  The center of this 
place has been cleared of stone in a small circle.  Jungle vines surround
it, creating a ring of sorts.  The mists clear, revealing dry, packed ground
that shows many footprints.  It seems to be a combat ring of sorts.

A Mist-Covered Altar
  Rising from the mists that cover the pathway is a large stone altar.  
What you can see of its base is covered in jungle moss, though the rest 
of it seems untouched by the surrounding jungle.  The altar seems to have, 
at one point, been rather ornately decorated and carved, but the ravages of
time have dulled its edges and robbed it of its gilt.  Now, it is a plain
stone structure, pure and released from its decadent decor.  Runes have
been carved into its surface, and one corner has what looks to be claw 
marks.  A few simple green candles have been placed upon it, their flames
never seeming to ebb no matter how the wind blows.  A stone longspear has
been placed before the candles, simple in its quality and carving.  The 
pathway opens to the south here, to the center of the ruin, otherwise it
continues east and west around the perimeter.

     A simply sculpted longspear rests in a place of reverence atop the altar.

Within a Misty Ruin
  The reliquary is silent here, strange and seeming out of place in the
middle of this noisy jungle.  White mists swirl and flow through the canopy
of banyan branches and vines that guard this holy place.  Brilliantly
colored blossoms bloom from the vines, emitting a sweet scent to the still
air.  The west and north are completely blocked by the jungle foliage, and
the white mist tangled in it gives the foliage an oddly wall-like look.
To the southwest, you see an ancient ruin.  It seems to have once been a
holy temple comprised of stone pillars.  Some of the pillars still arc
over into buttresses, yet most of the top of the structure has crumbled.
Runes of all types have been carved into the stones, some faded and nearly
unrecognizable by the worries of time, others seemingly newer and revived.
Within the center of the ruin, you can see an odd, white glow emenating
through the mists that swirl throughout.  The path around the ruin goes
to the east or the south.

Alas, you cannot go that way.

<100%hp 100%m 97%mv 6563tnl (2.34%)> Within the Jungle Vines and Mists
  The mists rise here, blocking the view of the ground completely.  They
mingle and entwine with the jungle vines, creating a misty, green curtain
to separate you from the surrounding jungle.  To the east, eerie stone 
pillars rise up from the mists.  The pillars are worn down with age, but
you can see faded runes carved over their surfaces.  At the center of the
one closest to the path, you can see what looks like a long, vicious claw
mark drawn through one of them.  Beyond the stone pillars, through the mists
there seems to be a white, holy glow emanating from the center of the ruin.
The pathway continues north, where the mists seem to ebb and swirl, and 
south, where they seem to fade slightly.

Within a Misty Ruin
  Jungle vines hang down in curtains, surrounding this small relic.  Tiny
leaves bud from them, as well as a few thorns and brilliant, lush jungle
blossoms.  Huge banyans stretch their branches overhead and to the east
and south of you.  Between the banyans, vines and other foliage, the 
jungle seems nearly impenetrable.  To the northwest, ancient stone pillars
rise from the ground, each one worn and broken by time.  Beyond them, 
through the jungle moss, vines and blossoms, there seems to be some sort
of white glow emanating from the center of the ruin.  The jungle shies 
away from the pathway north and east, giving you a clear way around the
structure.  Mists curl around the stone pillars, mingling with jungle
vines and adding a mystical quality to the moss and flowers.  Spreading
over the base of this area, you can barely make out the ground through the
mist.

Within a Misty Ruin
  Ancient, ruined stone pillars rise up before you.  Worn down and broken
with age, it seems as though this place was once a holy shrine and is now
a curious reliquary of memory and magic.  Age has robbed the pillars of most
of their detail, but you can still faintly see magical runes carved in their
sides.  A bit of worn gilt has mostly flaked off their edges.  White, wispy
mists curl around the base of the pillars and the ground beneath your feet.
The surrounding jungle seems to constantly threaten this small place, yet it
is somehow held back by the holy aura of this relic.  Giant banyan trees
covered in vines and moss rise up around this small incline, appearing to
guard it.  A pathway has been opened to the east and west, and the sounds 
of the jungle echo from the south.
 
[Exits: east south west]
Something blue and tiny crawls up and down a tree.
The sleek form of a midnight black jaguar prowls these ruins.

Before a Misty Jungle Ruin
  The ground beneath your feet rises to a incline before you.  Upon it, 
nestled among several huge and hulking banyan trees covered in jungle 
vines, are pillars of roughly hewn rock that seem to have once been a 
structure of some sort.  Age, tragedy and the encroaching of the jungle 
have brought a sense of ancient ruin and history to this place.  Mists swirl
and hover over the ground before and beneath you, adding a curious sense
of mystery to this area.  Deep within the center, you can see a strange, 
almost holy glow pulsing through the mist.  Vines hang down on either side
of you, creating a curtain of sorts.  The ethereal echo of a jaguar sounds,
shaking the serene, almost holy silence of this place.  The caw of a parrot
chases it, the rustle of jungle vine and leaf joining animal to create an 
oddly haunting music.
