Jhelom Cemetary - question

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.computer.ultima.online (More info?)

Has anyone heard of "The Shade Of Deceit" ? I was at the Jhelom cemetary
tonight, figured i would try it since ive never been there before. i
recalled in on my trusty cemetary rune book i picked up at a local vendor
and wham.... i am outside the gate towards the east i get my bow and mage
skills ready and this thing starts coming after me.... i took a shot at it
and realized how quick it was moving... i decided to haul but. i almost
didnt get away from it, it was moving as fast if not faster than me, i
hooked around a building somewhere and ran back towards the cemetary
looking for help. Eventually i was able to recall back to my house....by the
way this happened in Trammel.

sorry about the longness of this but i was just curious about what the heck
could move that fast! i thought that worst case scenario a player could
always outrun a monster.

TIA
Paul

Some kind of EM spawned monster for an event? Or a strangely named player
in that necromancer shade form?

So...it was moving fast but were you able to harm it?

the bow shot missed, still trying to train, i think it was some kind of
monster - not a player. i could be wrong though.... it was a humanoid type
creature not a spectre or lich or any other undead that i know of... i was
more scared at the time than i shouldve been to get a really good look.

Be safe Cyrus, Hopefully it is on Atlantic as well, Id really like to know
what it is/was... none of my warriors are strong enough to play yet... this
is what happens when you spend two years building your crafters and vendors
up

Bah, nothing on Atlantic. :{

Slaughtered an entire cemetary full of frolicing and merry undead folks for
nothing.

Guess i'll hop over to Catskills and make a paladin if it's somehow still
hanging about...

I logged on tonight with my warrior character, i unloaded anything of value
and i went to check out the cemetary.... nothing there that was unusual -
very weird.... especially considering my archer/mage was in war mode when i
launched an arrow - i did not target it.... very weird.
oh well, thanks for the help Cyrus!

Np, pity we didn't miraculously bump into each other on Cats, you could've
watched in wonder as i ran for my life like a little chicken.
