The Dungeon of Exile
Thick stone pillars support the low arched ceiling of Exile Gaol. Iron
brackets are set into each, the torches they hold casting an oily,
flickering light over a scene of despair, their pungent black smoke
doing little to mask the stench of mouldering straw, self-pity and over
filled slop buckets. The rock walls are slick with damp and yellowed
with mildew, rotting straw covers the cold stone floor. Dark cells line
the west and south walls, each cell has a thick iron door with which to
confine the occupants if necessary. Most are left open, the inmates
being given the freedom of the dungeon in exchange for their good

The Association Room
The smell is a thick and tangible thing. The faecal stench of slop
buckets, confinement, mouldering straw and self-pity taints the close,
damp air. This is the Association Room of Exile Gaol, a place where
visitors can spend time with the prisoners privileged with liberty from
their dark cells. Though in truth, not many come here that are not
compelled to stay. Moist and stained straw covers the floor, and torch
brackets are set into the bare rock walls, casting a flickering, oily
light over the chamber and adding to the general miasma. A few tables
and rough chairs are scattered about for the comfort and use of the
inmates. The thick bars of an iron gate guard the dungeon itself to the
south.

The Gaol House
You are in a dim hall that serves as the Gaol House and entrance to
Exile Gaol, in truth a dark and forbidding dungeon that lies below here.
A gothic stone arch set with a black iron gate is to the north, leading
out onto the Peacekeeper's parade ground. A smaller, less imposing oak
door, studded with black iron rivets, is set into the western wall. The
floor is tiled with cold slate flagstones. A narrow, steep stairway at
the back of the hall leads down to the dungeons. The smell that arises
from it is damp and pungent, a reek of mouldering straw, unwashed bodies
and imprisonment.

A circle of stones
This valley appears to have been created from an earthquake
vvsss some hundreds of years ago. The sharp and often jagged edges
\-*ss have supported several tufts of grass and several stunted shrubs.
sssvv Weeds choke what remains of the soil along the valley walls. The
valley flattens into a small clearing here. The ground seems
worn with much foot traffic. A full moon hangs in the sky. It's mostly
clear, well past freezing, and there is absolutely no wind.

Firstly, you have to get a key from someone who is not a judge, in a no transport room, that is well hidden to the non-experienced player, said NPC calls guards when you attack it...tons and tons of guards, if you manage to get the key, you must then go five rooms of wading through more guards. After that, you enter no transportation territory. for three rooms, then a no magic/no transport room, that is just before the PC jail cell door.

Jail cell: Leave the Cell: No Magic/Transport room --> No Transport room ----> No transport room ---->No transport room ----> Finally a transport room!

Overpowered?

========================================
Nerina, Empire, and Krychire seem underpowered compared to this. Extremely. It needs to be wimped.


Addition: Notice the bounty hunters I spawn, had I been anything but a hellion with intimidate, I'd be boned.

Oh, and once more, this wasn't Algorab, it was Alshain.

Try comparing steps from the entrance gate, or nearest gate anchor, to the jail itself. Things balance out way more quickly. That whole steps to leave to recall thing is pointless. The way'll be clear if you've not tried to twink the system around.

The only place that has less steps from gate to jail is Nerina. Technically you have a chance to encounter more guards in every other city for a breakout other than Nerina. You also talk about the key not being on the judge being a bad thing. Gorvus is the easiest NPC to take out for the key.

So, no, not really OP.

Also, Menegroth is less steps from above the city to the jail.

The intimidate echoed on the last one. Not on the others. I was just curious if it was that or not.

1.) they have a 1-2 second attack responce time, but they do follow.
2.) You aren't gating to the judge inside Exile, he doesnt hold the key, you are gating outside of a room thats full of guards and one of them has the key, the one happens to be ableb to spawn more and more as time goes on. Fighting a handful of NPCs that spam holy word/sof/bog that you spawn at least 3-4 when you are not alone is rough, until you get to the no magic rooms.

I've been requested to spice this up some, I'm not just out to wimp Taslamar, if it can be done, yey, if it can't, I believe other jails should be equally hard to get to.

Hmm... i'm starting to get a little annoyed of this levelling of everything. First it was symbols, then cabals, tribunals, jails.. everything has to be the same. Reeks of pk-only mud.

Because non-PKers use jail alot?

I don't care if they are the same, they can be uniquly hard. I'm just going to stop, and build my own jail for the moot.
