What?!? You think i stole your idea? You posted after me. I was writing my post more than half an hour... not actually writing all the time (doin something else).

Anyway i thought you already read mine.

lol. Yeah I was definitely working on that for a solid hour on and off. All I know is that when I started writing it, your post wasn't there. Not a big deal, I just found it funny that we both thought of the same thing.

I'd say it's a level 35 pally... so probably two of us will need to take him down.

Naw, Basoriel isn't with us, neither is Namphiel.
They're still down in Hell, doing administrative shit.

Gotcha. I was just hoping that we weren't all having so much trouble with a little lvl 5 pally. :rolleyes: What kind of demons would we have been if that was the case?

Surely Archie a fire demon would require more air than the average demon wouldn't he? Because flame uses oxygen to burn and that is where they draw their power from? Just a thought

But if he is used to fire sucking the air from his lungs (assuming demons have lungs) he should be used to surviving with less air. Besides, fire only takes air to burn, Zethrael wasn't on fire, hence little need for air. Not to mention he is also a shadow demon. Do shadow's need air? My reasoning is flawless!!:confused:

My idea just got :ninja:'d by Jeru!!! I was typing that whole thing before he posted, and then boom post. Editing as we speak.

Edit: I think it works now. Someone else join in!! We're demons, we need to fight dirty and septuple team that pally!!

BTW, what lvl is this pally? Can just one of us take this little bastard out?

Zethrael's thoughts wavered for moment, as he forgot how disorienting it was to be summoned into Sanctuary.

"Demons! THEY HAVE DEMONS!!" A human voice cried out.

The fear pouring from these mortals fed Zethrael's hunger, which hadn't been sated by human fear in ages. Something felt different from the last time he was on Sanctuary. He no longer felt drained as he once did 300 years ago. He felt... himself. As if he was still in Hell. The Worldstone! It's power has been weakened!

"Do not lose faith men, the light shall see us through this test!" shouted a dark skinned man clad in shining armor, and carrying a large gilded shield and an ornate scepter.

"Knight of Zakarum, you shall tremble before us!" Zethrael bellowed out, his voice pulsing with dreadful shrieks of a thousand slain souls.

Zethrael marched through the ranks of soldiers towards the knight of Zakarum, the soldiers in the way posed little threat. Flames erupted from the shadow demon's back, and thick black sulfuric smoke billowed from his body, damping the light slightly. A nearby cultist is struck with an arrow, and from the wound explodes a demon imp screeching with evil glee.

A soldier more courageous than the rest ran at Zethrael, sword primed to strike at the demon. The man's courage quickly faltered as Zethrael palmed the soldier's head, the human's flesh bubbling as the searing heat from the demon's hand melted the skin. The man's screams were quickly silenced as his face erupted in flames. Zethrael hurled the rag doll human at the Paladin, who ducked under his shield, shrugging off the blow.

"You shall not survive this!" Bellowed Zethrael, taunting the man again.

The shadow demon reached his smoldering hands in the direction of the Knight of Zakarum and flames erupted all around the human. But the flames were quickly diminished as the air around the paladin seemed unnaturally cold. And just as Zethrael concentrated his fury at the human to amplify the blazing fire, a cultist fleeing for his life collided with the shadow demon, disrupting his spell. Zethrael roared out in disgust, and slammed his now flaming fist into the cultist, the man's body crashed to the floor, blood splashing out from his skull.

One of the other demons had already begun to push a black mist towards the Paladin. I'll show him real darkness. He thought.

"You can quell my fire, but how can you fight if you can't see." Thick soot and smoke spilled from the shadow demon, quickly engulfing the whole of his being. Even the gleaming flames in the demon's eyes were drowned in the dark cloud. Barely a moment passed and the entirety of the room was filled with the ash and smoke, obscuring all sight. The Knight of Zakarum's white light faded and the grip on his scepter loosened. The few humans who remained to fight coughed in the thick charcoal air.

"I can smell you, Zakarum." Zethrael boasted, as he began to make his way through the charcoal air directly towards the knight.

:spam::ban:



I loveO_O, :facepalm:, and :cheers:. Not in any particular order. Well done on the smilies!!!

You know what, I think the Curse crew actually knows what they're doing.:rolleyes:

Awesome!! Thank you Nacho!! +rep

Actually I really like the whole drop down thing. Never even realized it was there.

Would it be possible to introduce a button next to "New Posts" and "Search" that automatically searches for all of the user's posts. One of my other forums uses that button, called "My Posts", and it works wonders.

That way I don't have to go Archie->statistics tab->find all posts by Archie-> results. Or go to search->advanced search->Archie-> results. Just a one button, instant results tool.

I asked this a long time ago, before we had the new staff and crew, and their answer at the time was that they didn't have the programming knowledge for it. Perhaps with the Curse crew on board we can give this a shot.:thumbsup:

That's the PSU calculator I and a lot of people I know use. Pretty accurate, and it allows you to OC in the inputs.

I would suggest anything more than what you have now, uprgrade the PSU. Corsair, Antec, Apevia, Cooler Master, Rosewill, all good PSU's. Just check with me first depending on the Rosewill PSU because a couple older models are below spec.

Zethrael's ruse had succeeded. He felt the power of the spider demon suck the air from around him, and he gasped for a moment from the sudden attack. Zethrael restrained himself from exploding a pillar of fire from the ground upon which Basoriel stood. Surely engulfing Basoriel in fire wouldn't have been enough, for this was a mage demon. And as Lord Diablo instructed, the best way to deal with mages is through physical means.

What this minion of Namphiel didn't realize is that when you are a being of fire, you require significantly less air to sustain yourself. And while most any other demons would have collapsed from the show of skill, Zethrael feigned a choke until the minion released him.

"Now... have we any real questions, or shall we tempt me once more?"

Zethrael bowed his head slightly and held back a smirk.

"If at all possible, capture any angels you find, as they can be used in some... particularly nasty summoning rituals, and as you see from your comrade, can turn on their masters within several decades of demonic taint."

Angels? Zethrael thought. An Archangel would prove an interesting opponent. He remembered hearing stories of Archangels bringing lesser demons to their knees with only their thoughts.

"I apologize oh mighty mage Basoriel. Send us on our way so that we may do Namphiel's bidding and wreak havoc in Sanctuary." Zethrael showed respect, but emphasized "Namphiel's" to remind Basoriel that the Lord had picked Zethrael for a reason. Should he and Basoriel have another confrontation, he would show that he isn't as weak as Basoriel's sources assumed.

Very true. Good luck with your final decision, and keep us updated.

I'd take it!

But I am pretty sure that everyone who was going to be sent a key has already received it.

Oath of Chaos is right.

If you're planning on adding another card higher than what you currently have, I would highly recommend upgrading your PSU. Hell if you're going to add a 9800GT you need a new PSU. I mean you'll be able to run dual 8600GT's, but you'll be using around 85% of your PSU's max power, and that is assuming it actually produces the full 400w like it is advertised.

Ideally you want to run somewhere around 30-50% of your max PSU power for it to run most efficiently.

600-700w psu would be a good idea. For instance, I'm going to run a single 5770 pretty soon, and I'm upgrading to an 850w psu so that I can run in that max efficiency range.

Sience the summoning has fnished will the people on waiting list be introduced in other places?

"Advance scouts have been sent to Sanctuary already, and should you encounter one, it would be wise to accept them into your group as one of your own, you will not find hospitality among the humans."

As Zhar just said, read the orange text carefully.:rolleyes:

Something about this Demon Lord reminded Zethrael about the his Master's brother, Baal. Maybe it was the way his fingers would brush his temple as he sat on his throne, or perhaps it was the way he pondered every word that would leave his mouth. Or maybe it was what Namphiel feared. His fears did not rest on things like death or dismemberment, his fears were much worse than that. For he simply feared failure at the hands of the Prime Evils.

And that was what interested Zethrael. The Prime Evils! They have returned. But does that mean Lord Diablo has forgiven my past transgressions? If my Lord knew where I was, He could have punished me whenever He wanted.

"Some of you possess armies, some of you estates and followers. All will be enlisted to this cause, and all have been sent to report to the Chaos Sanctuary, our lord Diablo awaits them..."

It is true! Perhaps my Lord isn't angry with me. Did I do well in His stead? Well this will be my chance to prove I am not the young weakling demon I once was when I confronted Belial.

Zethrael followed along with the other demons to the next chamber, just as massive as the previous. Again there were circles and runes inscribed on the floor, but in place of a throne was a stone alter, stained by countless sacrifices. And upon that alter lie a human, bound at the wrists and ankles with jagged steel that dug deep into his flesh. But he wasn't dead just yet, for his purpose was soon to come.

"Now... as for a leader, you will do quite nicely." Basoriel said, pointing to Damarus.

"I will not fail our cause." Damarus said solemnly, confident in his ability to lead this expedition.

Zethrael wondered what this demon had done in his life? Had he led the minions of Diablo head on into the war machines of Azmodon? Had he stood toe to toe in battle with the Lord of Sin himself? No, he had not.

"Are there any questions before this summoning commences? We cannot wait long, we must begin as soon as possible."

"Questions?" Zethrael spoke, "There are many, but all are beyond your knowledge, spiderling." Zethrael mocked as he stepped onto one of the runed circles.

Most of these movies are bad, but Good vs. Evil takes the cake by a landslide. A big budget film that ended up looking like an 8 year old filmed it. Horrible special effects, even worse script, the cinematography was disastrous, and the soundtrack. Oh that soundtrack was bad.

Straight to dvd, but that never should have happened. Whoever gave this movie the go ahead should be put down. The only movie I have ever had to walk away from.

Realize that it's not even on youtube it is that bad. IMDB doesn't even have a movie poster. So bad that it is actually making me mad right now.

Lunch time.:thumbsup:

I've got a question, when exactly, in the timeline of Diablo, does our story take place? After DII?
