Mikona crypt

Post by modigliani » Tue Aug 31, 2004 2:57 pm

This is for the Team, really. Is there a more elegant, cryptic, or distinguished name for the western Mikona crypts than merely, "Mikona crypts?" If not, would it be all right if I submitted some suggestions? I have a character for whom this would be important.

Cheers.

What's wrong with the name? It depicts THE crypt of Mikona. :P

That it does, but even cemeteries have names. I'm like TGI Friday's man--I want some flair! Gimme flair! Flair or death!

Er, seriously, I would really like to have a more interesting name to append to my character's name than

(Insert name here)
(Insert self-styled title) of Mikona Crypt

The ruins in Sanctuary, for example: now that's cool. As a matter of fact, it would be very IC of me to go to all the crypts in Avlis and find out, from their denizens, what they are properly named. Hmmmm.....

P.S., I think this should be the Team's absolute number 1 priority, above all the restores, spell fixes, griefing complaints, etc. I want my flair, and by God I'll have it!

Please don't kill me.

but it is slightly confusing when describing it, as there are other crypyts with no names, so hard to pinpoint exactly which one you're referring to.

there's only two crypts that I know of, one is called, the village crypt, the other is called, THE Mikona Crypt :P

well there is a 3rd, which is near Mikona ... but perhaps is called something specific that I don't know. Didn't know the village crypt was called the Village Crypt. I'm not bothered about fancy names - just a way of identifying them really.

"Village Crypt"
"Mikona Crypt"
& "That Crypt that even the DM's don't know about"

... is fine by me :)

Aww, come on. Pleaaaaassse? I just want some *sniff* flair. I'll do all the work, both IC and OOC. I will:

1) Take the fire skeletons a summoned dire boar for roasting
2) Get the ghasts drunk
3) Take Mother's Day flowers to the lovely mummies
4) Play cards with the ghostly nobles
5) Light sparklers for the zombie warriors to play with
6) Exchange scary stories with the ghouls
7) Shadowbox with the visage
8 ) Start a charity drive to get the skeletons some canned food. They are so thin, bubbulah!

What more do I need to do to get some *sniff* flair?

I sometimes refer to it as the Nobles crypt as that is where they are burried.

LMAO :lol:
The third one is called the Eastern valley Tomb, btw and even Mellonius is too scared to pay it a visit ;) :P

About the original question, I'd say that the nobles refer to the crypt as the Mikona Crypts and it is officially documented as such, while the commoners like to refer to it as the nobles' crypt.

You're not seriously suggesting that someone create a full name and history for the crypt down to the description are you?

I mean...even I'm not that anal!...well maybe I am...let's not get into that...

Something like "Mikonite's Final Rest"?

Since the village crypt is uh Dagathite? Dunno. Those things confuse me.

Ah, fuggedaboudit. I'll come up with my own damn *sniff* flair, and it won't have anything to do with the crypt. Somebody close this thread and be done wif it.
