Zacchaeus was my grand triumphant return to CF.

I would like to say firstly, in advance, this had nothing to do with that death, or the loss of anything. Its plain and simple, I've allowed myself to be consumed again by this game. My priorities unfortunately have shifted from leisure, to being forced to take account of what precious limited time I do have, and i have found myself cutting corners to make this character possible.

Considering he was Elf/Shield Paladin, Im amazed at how effective and resilient this one turned out to be. He had far more success then i was expecting, and I am really glad how he turned out.

I would like to give a big thanks to Nnaeshuk first and foremost. You are very delightful to have around, and you make an excellent presence and addition in the midst of absence among the Fortress Imms.

Adekar, I am positive it was you that upped my empowerment when i was given Maran. I greatly appreciate it that you stepped in, and granting me all the opportunities you have. (ps: i dont know if your just always wizi now, or life has come up, but you dont seem to be nearly around as much as your AVA days, but either way, i hope your religion opens up soon, variation among the good empowerment is desperately needed)

Despite all the obstacles that Zacchaeus had, he was incredibly PK successful, whether i prepped or not. Every death i did seem to have, was me just being... well foolish and overconfident that RNG would be in my favour.

It took quite a few days via email to make my Empowerment with Baerinika Possible, and unfortunately i didnt hear another word from her until a month and a bit later (Yesterday morning? when she gave me my first Virtue)

I'm glad your still able to contribute, and every opportunity i have ever been given over the span of all my characters.

Chestav - We both know who each other are, its nearly instinct after sharing three generations of characters alongside each other. You've certainly come along way and I am glad you got your shot with Marshall, you certainly deserved it.

As for the rest of the Fortress - please feel free to leave any comment, and i'll be happy to post in response.

Quick enemy recap :

Targala - I dont know if it was catching you after you lost a few key pieces of your set, but i didnt find you much of a challenge the few bouts you had before you did up and delete.

Cawr - It seems fitting that our longstanding quarrel finished that way, i admit it was upsetting, but it is usually overconfidence that is my downfall. (and to think i knew you were waiting for me there, even quaffed the pink potion expecting a summon trap)

Despite the tactics, well done, but the eyes/flee perma lag game mechanic abuse is a terrible way to finish that.

Jharazhoul - I despise you. Not because i have ever had any interactions with you that make me disprove of any character/player attribute, but because you were that much of a pest. Whether i was rank 30/or 51, you on meant i couldnt land a kill on a Imperial.

So you deserve the greatest of applauds, you are one of the most effective healers i have seen. Ashame you fell for that, well lets face it, brilliant trap.

Thanks for everything, Its been fun.
