Bees

I learnt that it was possible to sleep bees and pick them up. But it doesn't seem possible to tame or name them.

I found a more villainous use for them:

Real (virtual) snow

It actually snowed in Aberoth! Something about covering a game with snow makes it feel instantly magical. It makes me wonder why it doesn't always happen in MMORPGs.







Rabbits are harder to see, and they seem to be rarer. The bees have all migrated to tropical beaches disappeared to their hives to shiver and eat honey. And pink rabbits are raging.

Snowman

Mail decided to build a snowman, but Tavelor started meddling:


So Oreb trapped him with clubs. It worked really well:


The completed snowman:


A seperate snowman head:

Sarien.net

Those who like the art style of Aberoth may be interested in http://sarien.net/, which contains free (pseudo)multiplayer versions of classic Sierra adventure games, something the creator of Aberoth cited as an influence. It's especially fun to play with a friend on Skype.

He has also mentioned Pitfall which can be played here: http://www.2600online.com/pitfall.asp

New item?

What could this be?

My first thought was some kind of rabbit backpack.



It turned out to be her hair. False alarm...

The rise and fall of a great ladder

Some of us decided to build a big ladder in the forest.



It was going well, but things quickly turned sour. Qwe apparently saw someone steal several clubs.


The theif could be making whole 10's of gold!


Where is Agatha Christie when you need her?




And so the ladder crumbled.









New ladder design


It gets the full three-pixel climb of the beer while still being easy to climb (i.e. doesn't need taps).

Panpipes

A Satyr Elder with panpipes spawned. They can put players to sleep and kill them while sleeping. Taking a rage potion will avoid this.



The panpipes make a pleasant tune normally, a merry tune when tipsy, a boisterous tune when seeing double, and a noisy tune when enraged.


This is the type of song which I imagine it sounding like:


And here's some real panpipe sounds for those who haven't heard them:

Furniture

I made a table and bed in my vault.

Linked aberoth to someone

"Aberoth seems like a really fun game! I didn't realize that mini adventure games like that even existed for free online. I also really like that the main character and the first two people she meets are women. That's really cool. I always feel like women can be underrepresented in adventure games, especially as protagonists. This game already passes the Bechdel Test, which means that it has two or more women with names, and they talk to each other about something other than a man."
Yes she's a feminist, and  doesn't play many videogames.

Lysis and pink rabbit pelts

I dropped a pink rabbit pelt at Lysis to see how much she pays, she picked it up and it disappeared. Well, I thought, might aswell grab the other 4 from my vault and finish the healing glove...



After dropping five I was wondering where the glove was... The result:



It turns out that Lysis uses the pink pelts to make extra healing potions. Darklow makes the glove.

New teleport location


Another teleportation scroll took me to Ourik's room, so there's at least two possible locations.

It's a really important item. I would probably pay 1k or more for my first one.

Stuck bees

A blue bee was stuck annoyingly in the trees.



I gave up trying to push it out.



I also saw the fruits of a failed shaman raid:
