Crraya went up and up and up.

I don't remember if I inducted you as Ruosti or if Brizlin did but that's who I was playing at the time when you entered battle, a year and a half ago! I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that this was your first assassin or first serious one?

The only reason I say that is I remember having a conversation with you when you were in the 20's and you were trying to figure out which Master edge to take and we discussed it. Which was fun for me because I hadn't played an assassin in years. I think it was down to Atemi Waza or Ukemi. I want to say you told me later that you chose Ukemi, but seeing you fight I'm certain you had Atemi Waza. Either I am mistaken or you got Atemi Waza later for a reward or RC win.

I also remember you having some epic battles with some duergar AP (pretty sure this was you) and suggesting you try the ceremonial staff. The only reason why this sticks out and was notable to me is because I noticed you using a staff quite often later in your life. I'm not trying to claim credit for that insight or anything, just more a testament to the upward arc and growth of this character.

Then it came my turn to play the assassin and Ishuntal was rolled. You didn't induct me into Battle but you did give me the boot! And wow was that fun. Probably a personal highlight for me and was glad you helped make it so. Then when I became Scion, I wanted ever so badly to take you down but never could manage it. I think I won a few fights, you won a few more and we had some draws but I never managed to seal the kill. You were damn tough.

Not to forget some great interactions with you through a few other mostly short-lived characters I've had in that time long year and a half.

So thank you for helping make my CF experience enjoyable with such a long lived character that was excellent to be around. You deserve a ton of praise for it. Glad you made the pillar.
