A battered and blighted road
Before you is an abused cobblestone walkway, many of its octagonal stones
long since removed from their proper place. Covering the path is the
shattered remnants of the stones as well as the fetid decomposing remains of
algae and ferns. What was once designed as an aid for walking has long
since degenerated into more of a hazard than a help. It looks as if the
trail continues to the north.
It's raining very hard, very hot, and windy.

A lean male half-elf is here, skulking around the area.
A stormy-eyed female half-elf is here, chanting softly.

Servant's Hallway
As you enter this hallway, you notice a smell of cleanliness in the
air. You know just by the look of things that you must have stumbled onto
the servant's hallway. You see beautiful paintings hung about, but wonder
how they were hung on crystal walls. The doors to the rooms look to be made
of fine mahogany with sparkly crystal doorknobs.
Obvious exits: e(closed) s w(closed)
One of the Palacekeepers is working while cheerfully humming a tune.

Varessa is everywhere.

At first I thought she was one of those NPCs that moves from kingdom to kingdom, because I saw her is Elisair first and then the chancel.

But then I recalled from the chancel and returned to Elisair to see her still there.


I just thought it's a little odd she's in two places at once.

Some NPCs duplicate. It's needed so they can be respawned and be around if one of them gets charmed or summoned in a far away place.

Especially for Varessa, considering she is a good level trainer, it would be a pity to make her unique and it would make levelling harder.

Just RP it as Varessa and her 234242 twins. :P

This NPC probably does not have the correct "unique" flag set. There is no need to have a NPC with a proper name ever duplicate itself if it has been built correctly. You should typo log this in the NPCs normal room.

*flips coin*

Heads = NPC gets unique flag.

Tails = add a nosummon flag instead.

Allow the Black Hand to have some not unique decent level NPCs to charm for buffs then since there are no law NPCs able to buff up the tribunal members unlike every other tribunal.

I know a lot of players QQed when I was charming unique NPCs, so now we only use NPCs that duplicate themselves(although it is far more time and effort consuming). Make such NPCs unique and we'll have to use unique ones and people will have to start crying again.

Or just give the Black Hand NPCs like Percer etc. :P
