well i dont want them just lying about on the floor lagging up the game :/
I thought the point of having some extra dimensional space was so you could put all your trash in it

just leave the square, or just leave your character sitting by the ship for a while. the rocks will expire. |

oh that sounds like it will take ages though, how long does it take for things to disappear like that?
I really imagined that the purpose of a magic bottle was some kind of intersteller rubbish tip...maybe i was wrong :0

If I remember correctly, they'll start going away in 5 minutes or so. Just put pooka at the end of a pier and walk away from the computer for a bit. Eat some supper, talk to your family, or feed the dog. When you come back, no more rocks! You can also, I believe, just leave them behind. They will time out almost by the end of the ship trip. You can, of course, use it however you please! But Xaa's original purpose was to give you a place to keep all of the inventory you can't fit into your pack. It's a great game balance answer. It gives you INFINITE storage, so you don't ever have to throw that rare component away. BUT, it's slow and inconvenient to use, so you still have to make choices about what to keep easily available in the pack, and what to place in the bottle. Do you put those extra arrows into the bottle, OR, are you going to need them in the middle of combat, in which case you had better put the staff you aren't using right now into the bottle and fit the arrows into your pack. Of course, once you do that, you'll find you need the staff. Tough choices make for a fun game! |

do you think its a tough choice to decide you are gonna kill all the black kings lieutenants? Mantri's advice of being a coward and sticking to the edges is annoying because the rest of the time he makes out that your charecter is the strongest bravest charecter evar. so why be scared of a couple of wimps who think they will live forever. |

I'm right with you. With a few exceptions for folks who's backstory I could discover, I took out everything. It was time for this war to end. But it IS an interesting ethical dilemma. The Black warriors didn't have any more choice about coming here than you did. Many of them were just petty criminals before facing the harsh world in Shatranj. In eliminating the "Bad guys", you KNOW you are killing SOME folks who aren't evil. BUT, you really do NOT want to drop those monsters down on the normal world, since MOST of them, whether they were that way to start or not, have BECOME monsters. Touch choices, good game! |

how long does it take for things to disappear like that? If you're far enough away, not too long. If you're too close still, they won't timeout at all. So best is to dump them somewhere in the region, and then walk the whole length of the airship bridge. That's definitely far enough. The timeout should be 5ish minutes, but I've noticed sometimes it can take a bit longer. As Kilarin said, just put Pooka ( and the others ) on the airship and walk away from the keyboard for a bit when waiting for stuff to expire on the region. Technically the airship ride is long enough to have all the rubbish you left behind to expire, but it's safer to wait for it to expire before you take the airship if there's a lot of trash. PS: Congratulations on the horn |
