At 8 o'clock PM, Day of Freedom, 4th of the Month of the Old Forces
on the Theran calendar Graevnik perished, never to return.

Race:	duergar
Class:	warrior
Level:	51
Alignment:	Evil
Ethos:	Chaotic
Cabal:	BATTLE, the BattleRagers, Haters of Magic
Age:	174
Hours:	313

Well that was fun. The idea was basically to just be as relentless as possible, full on blaze of glory the entire time. Had a few frustrating moments, but whatever, 99% great experience, 10/10 would recommend. But man the imms messed up giving me so much con. Haha. I think I had like, 19 or 20 con when I got DM, of course that made me even more reckless, and when Uli was around for herbs it was really, really fun. We even had a few fights that were... group fights? Which is the number one thing I miss from the old days.

Jalim was right. My legacy choices were dumb from a mechanics standpoint. I could have been way more deathful with like... soul and cry, or soul and calming, or pretty much anything other than incarnadine + whirlwind. It did seem to shine in some mob fights, and I could tell when it would trigger in regular fights, but honestly it was wasted. At least incarnadine is an active, fun legacy. I also should have gone daggers as one of my specs, probably would have been much more deadly. But hey, maces are great for playing super aggressive and catching people with their pants down and well, duergar sword is still duergar sword (I did not perfect flurry or riposte by the way).

All in all definitely a success, my second DM, first Commander and first Mageslayer, and maybe most importantly, my second character with death gechoes, so, I win CF today. The only thing I failed was the Ergush tattoo, but hey, can't win em all. On to goodbyes, sorry in advance if I miss you.

IMMS - You guys are all awesome, thanks again for all the time and effort you put into this game.

Ergush - Lots of fun, wish I would have been able to finish it out. I hope I provided enjoyment by playing the "I have no idea what you're talking about but teach me" type of follower. I will DEFINITELY be back for more Ergush. I really wanted you to tell me mages burned my village, like a lot. Haha.

Panmorne - Thanks again, our interactions were few and brief/to the point, but very meaningful and well done. I hope I at least provided some entertainment. I definitely have a Panmorne role in the works.

Nalasul - Good times, it's always great when you just pop in, Oh look, a Drillmaster, etc. Cool induct, thanks for dropping in on the noob induct the other day too. Sorry I couldn't get all those ponchos, I'm pretty sure I crossed two more off the list but you weren't around to pass them on. I tried to force fights on two of the remaining three today, but couldn't pin them down. I still haven't come up with the right Nalasul role, but I'll get there. Maybe I'll finally do Igsoeh 2.0.

BATTLE - Fun as always, just need a little push and a little more playtime and Battle could be the strong cabal finally. I really hope you all had fun with the inducts, I tried to make them easy, but also make you think/keep you on your toes.

Ulitius - So mad when you deleted. Had tons of fun running around with you and racing to mageslayer. You probably would have beat me if you'd stuck around. You also probably would have ended up commander... Thanks for showing/dragging me around. We were a pretty formidable team.

Halimar - Really glad your times picked up, and good luck with all the kids. Thanks for helping me get re-geared for the final push.

Saf - Awesome when you're around, wish our times would have meshed/we could have run around some more together.

Vilka/Ariella - I hate you both. Haha. Just kidding. Sorry we couldn't get you guys ranked up. Enjoyed our interactions.

Everyone else - I hope you all keep with it and swing some power back towards the village. I hope Graevnik came across as a gruff asshole that would kick your ass if you let him down. Most of all I hope our interactions were fun.

ENEMIES

Birbmwn - Mad respect, tons of great fights, great interactions. Good luck with whatever you've got going.

Itz - So many great fights, that last one I just miscounted, I definitely could have made the village if I hadn't. I was upset. Haha. Good talks, keeping being creepy.

Modasien - Ugggh. Really wish I could have gotten you. Great job.

Zraldar - That last fight could not possibly have been worse timing. I was way too distracted, I couldn't even figure out which weapons I was wielding, and I STILL got you to gushing. Haha. But hey, that's two in a row whose last death was to the Emperor. Fun stuff.

Kithervroy - I looked back on that last fight and I wasn't even wielding a second sword. So mad at myself. Good fights, just wish we had more.

Gnimos - Blink dog is ####. Comically unbeatable. Bloodthirst with a great set at the Destructor and no chance of winning. Frustrating to say the least.

Alisani - Lots of really fun RP, good fights. TOTALLY had you on the last one on the outskirts, ####ing missed flurry - that's what I get for not perfecting skills.

Gubir - Love that you like to get out and fight, nicely laid trap on the last one.

Graldon - Fun fights, really tough for Graevnik, respect for not taking stuff when you won, even weapons. (That's a real ####-punch policy if there ever was one for a warrior.)

Slarin - The one character I had everything go wrong for more than against Modasien. Uggh. Get out and mix it up more, fun fights.

Tribs - Wish you guys would get out and fight more is all.

Kachaqa - So tough, wish I would have gotten you, great work.

Outties - Glad to have the fights when we got em, also glad that I followed Ergush and you guys weren't all trying to kill me ALL the time.

Khilan - Awesome fights, mad respect for going out and looking for them.

Goodies - Great fights when we had em, wish there would have been more. Plenty of fun RP.

Limdabod - Lots of fun fights, I think most if not all of the times I actually got you was with your pants firmly around your ankles.

OTHERS - cause he didn't really have friends or allies

Alendross - Really great RP, one fun fight (for me at least-Haha). I wish I could have gotten further down Ergush's path, because I think the two of us could have had some fun times in the future. Great job, happy to wind up "friends" again.

Cedany - You're still awesome, keep it up. Thanks for the painting. Hopefully it got saved from my corpse and someone went through my trunk. Yeah I was wondering when I was finally gonna get banned from the Inn too. Hopefully Daph makes you High Herald soon....

I know I'm forgetting people, so just holler and I'll respond. Thanks again for all the fun.

See you in the fields.

Graevnik Uor'Luja

I was there for Olethros last death as well, but you got me in the village before Sebenso finished you off.

I was a lot more scared of Graevnik than Olethros which actually lead to me doing a lot better in the W/L department against Graevnik because I was not willing to enter situations without a clear escape against Graevnik.

Anyway Graevnik will be missed in the hero pk landscape.

I have really enjoyed your last 2 chars. You are a player who makes CF better.

Bah! I had no idea you had ran through that much con. I had been praying to Ergush for weeks trying to ask about the fact I wasn't hunting you. That time we sat down at Ergush's shrine is thus far my favorite moment in Alendross' life and perhaps in all of my CF. It was just damned fun. I'm glad I at least helped fill in your backstory and made you think the burning was intentional. I look forward to seeing the PBF and finding out exactly what I was RPing about, ha! Look forward to the next one.

You were legit so evil that it shook me to my core when you spoke to me haha. I couldn't help pestering you from time to time, I really will truly miss our RP moments and fights. Can't wait to see your next!

Seriously though it sucks to have you gone and I blame myself a bit for my part in it. I always wondered why yo kept using a poison weapon...considering you had to of known...it didn't do much? I felt I had you completely when we were younger and I meant it when I said you'd be dangerous later. Lo and behold you were an absolute beast.

Great job! Thanks for being so cool!

I can't believe you whooped me so bad those last few times.. I think when I summoned you thirsting into the felar chief I counted 8 rounds where I got 0 hits in while you're doing ERADS and UNSPEAKS to the chief and all I could think is.. #### I'm next. I was having flashbacks of the fight in the village where I lost 900 hp in 2-3 rounds.

The snippet, you know how this went:

civilized <384hp 749m 1044mv 2 PM>
You distract Graevnik, quickly stomp on his foot, and knock him over!
Your trip scratches Graevnik.
Graevnik slumps to the ground as beads of sweat and blood trickle down his face.
You are hungry.
You are starving!
You probably don't seem so improbable.
The barrier protecting you flickers and fades away.
Your hunger hits you.
Graevnik is convulsing on the ground.


Overall well done, will miss the little chats. You should join team Entropy for your next one! ;)

Liked you a hefty bit you bearded brutish bastard. Thought you did some swell work within the Village. And a mageslayer? Hells, ain't you just the bloodiest bugger around! Blokes seemed to really like you, so a damned good job bud.

Graevnik!

I was really sad to hear you went so fast.( and sorry for my really long delay in responding here!)

You were the first Duergar to come to me and I really enjoyed it. I had fun with each of our interactions and yes, I did enjoy the "I have no idea" angle of it.

I know you wanted me to tell you that mages burned your village, and I was 50/50 on whether I should or not. I ultimately decided to not give you solid information and let your imagination run with what it thought was the best explanation.

Looking forward to having you back to the religion. Thanks for following and GLWYN!

First class villager, liked both to talk and to fight you. That time you've almost got me and got Neajess was a blast and very well done. I thought you had more con, or some kind of con-quest. Definitely I'll miss your taunts and insults, they were both accurate and funny, and you never crossed the line with them.

GLWYN!

Top notch. You'll be sorely missed.

Your backstory made me chuckle. A tribe of duergar who live in the forest? What the what?

Wow. So I really wanted to like Graevnik. Not like-like, but like, sort of like? Interesting story, great RP, bizarre mannerisms, alarming hatred for mages... he had it all. (I mean, he called Cedany a waif, but whatever.)

Then Graevnik started coming into the Inn and knocking Cedany unconscious and slaying mages left and right. :( I can't count the number of times Cedany had someone ask "When is Graevnik being banned from the Inn?!" There was no safe place to hide, and unless Ced was in the room when he started pummeling some poor mage, they were just dead.

IC, Cedany wanted to strangle Graevnik. OOC, I loved your consistency, insults, and use of the phrase "I Know magics". We won't talk about how long it took me to figure that one out - I assumed Graevnik was just being weird. Oops.

Stellar and fearless, per usual. Mages can sleep easy, finally. GLWYN!
