PAXLAIR - August 8, 1999 - Azazel

The Ladies of the Lair are a very popular player run tavern in the player run city of PaxLair. The Lair is one of the extremely few taverns open just about ALL hours of the day (I'm not kidding, there's always someone in there). When I visited them yesterday, I was surprised to see a man in the back holding a colorful looking staff. My one-of-a-kind detective skills told me he was a God, and it's not just because he could walk through walls.

GM GB, the God's name, was in the Lair's back room, conversing with Nightstorm, the head of the Lair. He didn't seem to be too worried that everyone in the Lair could see him. There were other problems however. Nightstorm, was showing GM GB that some of the magical features of the Lair were not working correctly. For instance, when Nightstorm recited the words "Remove thyself," instead of the targeted person being bumped outside, they were bumped into the back room of the Lair. I also noticed another problem myself, I was in the  wall. That's right, I had come awake from my slumber, and was right dab smack in the middle of the wall (sorry no pic:). After I came out from hiding, GM GB used his powers to remove me from the wall.

GM GB did fix the problems, and furthermore, he completed his assignment on why he was at the Lair in the first place. I had been asking people in the Lair why he was here, all they told me was "he is fixing the door." Looking at the door several times, "I" saw no direct problems with it, so I sat down and waited for GM GB to do something interesting. After a while, GM GB started using his powers to manipulate the walls of the tavern! It appeared he was trying to get rid of the door altogether, and put a wall in it's place.

When GM GB was finished working his magic, the door in the back room had all but disappeared. One might ask how the ladies of the lair would get in the back room. Having that thought on my mind, I proceeded to ask Nightstorm. I was told there is a magic word one can recite while they are in the back room. This magic word would teleport them to behind the counter of the Lair. It works exactly as recdu, and recsu work to get into and out of the lost lands.

I thought this new feature didn't have very much security around it. What would happen if someone other then a lady of the lair found out the magic word? Why, there's no telling what diabolical scheme they would conjure up. Nightstorm told me he had hakuna matata (no worries) about it. He explained,  if anyone besides a PxL (Lady of the Lair (guild)) used the teleport device to get behind the counter, they would automatically be banned from the Lair altogether. That is what I call security!

GM GB left oftly fast, so I didn't get a chance to talk to him. I am sure, however, that this is not the last blessing the Ladies of the Lair will get. Just this past Monday, the Lair hit 25,000 visits, in just three months! I'm sure any tavern which displays interest like that will surely be blessed as much as they wish!

There was one last question I had for the Ladies of the Lair. Once one got behind the counter using the teleport device, how did they get out from back there?

Azazel: How do you get out from back there? I mean, do you just say a word like you do to get in?
NightzAngel: No, you go and scratch your bottom, and poof. Your out front on ye duff.
Azazel: *sigh* *shakes head*
Nightstorm: Yes, ye have to say your account name and password az.
Anabelle: You all have it wrong, you do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around.

*sniff* Why must everyone make fun of me? They were just joking (I hope), to get out from the back you say another word like you do to get in. To my knowledge doing this will bump you outside of the Lair.
