Think my pk was 23/41 or something like.


Well I think the last time I played a Paladin, Lancelot was the one giving me some pointers. So it was a Loooooong time ago.

Anyway I made Lruthlor to be a bit of an explorer, I explored quite a bit and certainly got familiar with some area's that I had never really been, and certainly not alone. Shield Specs are definitely good explorers, I tanked some thinks that had wasted my other hero characters in a matter of a few rounds.
I fought a lot with Lruth, but as any shield spec will tell you landing kills is not easy. I got spanked lots when I was lower level, party because I was inexperienced with the class and partly because of my role (I would always be the last to flee if my group was attacked) Plus I was late empowered (level 23 I think). But die and learn, once I got past level 32 I don't think I died till I was close to hero, despite Thorny and his ganking crew (some good logs there).

So I made hero applied to Maran, waited, talked with Ulthur then he died, then waited and talked with Yahofil, cool meeting with Vylnmlak and then finally got into the fortress. Was a Squire for ages, then finally figured out what I was missing. Became a maran somewhere running to the Warlocks tower to fend off some Scions. Had some great tangles with Sakard and the upcoming Empires, and continues to be the gatherer, I think I might have requiped just about every lightwalker Hero at one time or another.

Then I got unempowered. I thought great, I had been stagnating a bit time for some RPing and stuff. I fasted and prayed ( a little too much) and a few days later got some powers back. But then I got busted playing at work DOH! so I totally had to cut my hours back. Which left me the option of paying at lunch times, or loggin on with my piddly 28K modem from home and risk constant disconnects. Not the best thing when you are a partially empowered Maran with 1 life left before you con die.
I prayed and wrote notes in hope of a con quest, but I guess I wasn't either around enough to catch anyone or noone thought my character was worth it. C'est la Vie.

So my last death was going after Elijan who had just attacked someone close to Tar valon. Tangled and he ran, I chased (even though I thought OOC It was dumb, I wasn't going to change the Character just because I knew I was close to con'ing out) I got attacked by Sebastino and then he ran. Finally I catch up with Elijan after he had killed Corthy near Galadon. It was quick and painful: Dispell, thief knife, trippity trip trip, Demonfire, dead.

It was a good run, I enjoyed Lruth Immensely, just wish I could have done more with him.
The list of people I interacted with is Looooong. I loved how people would meet me and not have a freaking clue what I was saying, then after a while they would get to know his colloquial speech. Which is what I hoped for, I truly think speech is a great RP aspect. For those who wondered I had a script which ran of a dictionary of 700 odd words from my youth and grandmother, lots of old Scots tongue. I'll post it on Dio's Script board if anyone is interested.

Anyway to the thankings:

Shokai: Empowered me, Not sure how much I was watched, Got a cool interaction with Tristain in Barovia and went back lord only knows how many times trying to get more or become his apprentice, but NADA. I have no idea if I was a dissapointment Paladinwise or not, but I truly tried to adhere to the Code and balance it with the fortress.

Eluna: Birdie girl! Always fun travelling with you. Can't believe you haven't molted off your feathers yet. Old timer.

Fortress:

Karun: My bud, we ranked together, got into Fortess together, Got Maran close together, explored, fought, died. Great Character, solid Paladin. Sorry to croak on you.

Jhanderian: Cardinal, healing machine! Fortress would be lost without you. Definitely the voice of sanity amonst some of the more rabid "Kill em all" mentality that seems to be sweeping the fortress.

Sylvrin: Lil sis, you always struck me as a little newish, but you seem to have blossomed of late, and your RP definitely came along.

Aemelius: Marshall, Solid warrior, Glad to see you trying to educate as well as lead. Lruth was alway honored when someone used the ancient greetings with him.

Erenthell: Capt'n, We fought shoulder to shoulder but didn't talk overly much.

Gwyythinniel: Elven Songstress, as I said in your farewell, I was really happy to share some of Lruth's history with you.

Ulvaham: You were like an early version of Karun, and in many ways Karun filled the void of brotherhood you left in Lruthlor's life.

Agrigil: Another with whom I grew up travelling and fighting side by side.

Warlocks:
Jhard: Mr Toothy! Exploring was always fun with you.

Gherian: One mean elf.

Sylvans:

Lruthlor always had a lot of respect and affinity with the Grove, the war with the Warlocks frustrated and angered him. Never helped one side or the other against the other.

Scions:

Jhal: Could never understand why you did not do more, Lruth always thought you were too obsessed with the Silent Tower.

Ghuljun: Mr Nasty Lich, got me with your hide and sneaking trick. We had a great fight in the Fortress. Me vs you, Uhlath, and some warrior. It's great log even though no one died. You definitely walked a hard path to get where you are. Kudos

Empire:

ThornyBull: I'll put you here because that's where you ended. Fought you first when you were Scion. Then we had some great battles when you had your Orc in tow and the ganking crew, although I don't think you ever got me, or me you.

Zharalazur: another mean drow elf, we tangled a few times and I think you gave up in frustration.

Sakard: Said most in your thread, definitely Shaman with villager cahoonas. We had some great battles earlier then it degenerated to co rot Lruthlor;flee;rise;repeat. I can't blame you there was always a bunch of people gunning for you.

=================================================================
Anyway it's getting late, this is getting long. As I said I interacted with loads of people, unfortunately mostly only the good/neutral got the full on Lruthor mainly because 1) He was a crusader, fight fight fight and 2) most evils would not take the time to wrap their heads around his speech so they would just return with "Talk sense!" or some other demeaning jibe.

I have probably 90% of Lruth's life logged, lots of cool RP and lots of Fights (not all of which are exciting) I'm know I have forgotten lots of people, post and I'll repond. If you have a particular log/fight you'd like me to post let me know. Current chars if you would rather me not post anything with you in please let me know.

That's it. Great game, I have been playing since the 1st era, I float away for a year or so, come back and am always amazed at the innovation. Imms do a great job.

We had some great times together. Grats on holding on to the end with a well played char. Good luck on your next!!

Hell I have been absent for some time, but I'm not dead yet.. so would you mind repeating what you said in my uhm .. farewell ? Anyways, it was fun to have you around, I was happy you finally made it to Maran, you deserved it .. kudos to you..

Gwy

too many beers!
And too many Elf bards!
I think I was thinking of Tarnyxil, glad you are still around.

Gah, I did't know you were so close to con death. I remember when I first met Lruthlor before I was even a member of the Fortress and we hit it off from the start and became friends. We travelled a bit together to fight off evil and then things changed for me and I joined the Fortress. It was an honor to serve alongside you although your accent took some getting used to and I don't think I ever completely grasped it :P. Your presence and faith will be missed in the Fortress, good luck on your next and we await your return to the Fortress. *smile*

PS I can't believe ya forgot me :P. It seems everyone I know and who knows me who deletes seems to forget me. Ah well, dems da breaks, I suppose. :P

Yeah, big brother...I'm kinda new here.

I had a hard time with your speech at first, but I caught onto it pretty quickly. Sylvrin was always very impressed with your willingness to go the distance and keep fighting to save your mates. That's one of the main reasons she chose you to be her big bother. That time you defended against Ghuljun at the Watcher after Jhanderin and I had died was way cool. That's a log I'd love to see.

I loved our brother/sister talk when you told me all about your past and how you became a Maran and all of that. I have no idea how to make a log or I would have saved that converastion. If you have it logged I'd appreciate you posting it. I wanted to get a chance to Rp with you again and maybe do something cool like to make a closer bond between us..like blood brothers or something. That's why I was so upset that I saw you died when I wasn't able to play these past couple of weeks. *sigh* Oh well.

You saved my life more than once too, which I always appreciated.

I hope to see you again in another life, big guy.

Your lil sis,
Sylvrin

18597, RE: (Con) Lruthlor Posted by Aemelius on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM I'll echo what's been said by others and say that you were rock solid every time we were logged on together. In many ways I think our characters are similar and I think that worked well for us, though I didn't see you as much as I would have liked to as I think our times are slightly different. We had a few good convesations and a few good scraps together, but it was when you almost begged me to use that ritual response that I thought you really shined. It really looked like it meant something to Lruthlor, and not in a fake sort of "hey, I'm rp'ing!" way. Solid, man.

18590, RE: (Con) Lruthlor Posted by Karun on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM Damn! Why all my best friends have to die on me?!! Fahnrore... now you! Will miss you a lot. I believe two of us played some role in all of that disbalance situation we have now. heh... more after Karun will die :) Hope to see you in some otehr incarnation :)

18591, RE: (Con) Lruthlor Posted by Zargu on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM You talking about friends leaving? Look at this board and tell me how many evil hero's there are left?! ;)

18592, RE: (Con) Lruthlor Posted by Karun on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM No i'm talking on them losing last con when i'm loged in

18589, A few things I want to say, but... Posted by Blachmianan on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM Some of them will have to wait until my turn comes. I will say this, I tried to help you whenever you asked.

18588, As Sakard... Posted by Beer on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM Sakard: Said most in your thread, definitely Shaman with villager cahoonas. We had some great battles earlier then it degenerated to co rot Lruthlor;flee;rise;repeat. I can't blame you there was always a bunch of people gunning for you. I wanted to do like I did to Fahnrore, to allow me to breath quietly...so I'd see you and Karun, I'd rot you and get the hell out! Yea, we got some good fights. Good luck with your next. I'd love logs of me though.

18587, RE: (Con) Lruthlor Posted by Zargu on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM >Scions: > >Jhal: Could never understand why you did not do more, Lruth >always thought you were too obsessed with the Silent Tower. > >Ghuljun: Mr Nasty Lich, got me with your hide and sneaking >trick. We had a great fight in the Fortress. Me vs you, >Uhlath, and some warrior. It's great log even though no one >died. You definitely walked a hard path to get where you are. >Kudos >Zharalazur: another mean drow elf, we tangled a few times and >I think you gave up in frustration. Note that i moved myself into Scion and not EMPIRE! ;) Thank you for the fights, i think you where one of the few that went on alone from time to time... But alas, i went regain the sceptre, 5 min later, first one, then two showed up at the chasm, then when they realised they couldnt get the sceptre, all of the sudden two more walked accidential by... ;) And no i havent given up yet! But i have been damn close sometimes, i think its been awhile since i saw a cabal mate, and when i log in i cannot remember when i had the sceptre for over 1 hour, nor do i remember when i wasnt outnumbered on at least 5 to 1... :( But im hanging by a moment... ;) /Zharaluzar PS. Do post some of the fights we had...

18586, Strike swift and sure! Posted by Erenthell on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM You and Karun formed the two pillar paladins of the Fortress for a while. I always knew that whatever was thrown at us, if you two were about (or even one of you) my back would be watched and I could take on anything that came at us. I am not sure what you did to get unempowered, but I noticed your attempts to get it back. Shokai isn't the easiest person to contact, by design and purpose or by lack of time, I do not know. I hope the experience playing a paladin, will help you in real life. Luck to you.

18596, RE: Strike swift and sure! Posted by Lruthlor on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM Part of Lruthlor's thing was he would never abandon his friends or comrades. It's wierd how his tenacity would often turn a situation around because he would charge back into the fray. I can think of very few times that both Karun and I went down. I definitely enjoyed my paladin, and will probably will make another at some point when I decide on a good solid role and Empire finally makes a bid for power.

18585, RE: (Con) Lruthlor Posted by Fahnrore on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM I thought you were a very skilled paladin. Definitely knew your preps and when to use them to stay alive. Competent during battles and such, but I think I can see where you would get unempowered. I remember seeing you with an insane amount of equipment. All kinds of stuff. Might've been one of the reasons (most often the one). Anywho, great character besides that. Loved the accent (disregard what others say about it)

18594, RE: (Con) Lruthlor Posted by Lruthlor on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM Yeah I'll post my unempowerment log when I get a chance. Basically I was punished for carrying more than three weapons on occasion (even though when it happened I had only 1) plus I had been gathering gear for other people for an hour or so and ended up with about 70 gold pieces. I was never really a gear-monger, I had a decent set but not mad insane, I always wore something with the Phoenix on it. I guess (and this is the part which I missed until I went back to review the Tristain log) that if someone were to see me in a snapshot I would look greedy, because there were times when I had been off gathering things for people. I was _always_ giving stuff away, but if no one sees that, and only sees the other, then yeah I looked greedy. This was what Tristain tried to tell me and I missed it, so ..unempowered. I never took the "no you are wrong!" stance, I accepted my punishment. I read the logs saw that I had indeed f**k'd up and stuck to who and what Lruthlor was: the remorseful penacer. I fasted and actually died twice while kneeling and praying for forgiveness, because in my mind thats what the Uber-dedicated paladin would do. I had a great chat with Jhanderian too which reinforced the way I viewed it. It would have been great to get completely reempowered I know it would have opened loads of new RP avenues, but the fates conspired against me.

18583, Glad I saw you before you poofed Posted by Jhanderin on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM You know how I felt about you :) I am not normally a fan of accents. Normally they sound generic and uninteresting. I will admit the first bunch of times we spoke I really did not have any idea wtf you were talking about, but after awhile I figured it out and I really enjoyed it. The best bit of slang that I think you ever used was when you were talking about using your fists to fight Sakard so that you could hit him in the "gob" Funny stuff man

18593, RE: Glad I saw you before you poofed.... Me too! Posted by Lruthlor on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM You were no idea how happy I was to see you log in, I knew I had only a matter of minutes left, and even then I evaporated in mid sentence. I was glad to get to say goodbye.

18579, Hiya! Posted by Eluna on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM Oh I was missing you for a long time. We would constantly travel together and there was a little unspoken thing between us. More then just respect. Always felt safe when traveling with you. Loved our interactions.

18608, RE: Hiya! Posted by Lruthlor on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM Yes indeed, Lruthlor both loved and respected the Spear Maiden, but his pledge to serve and his vows forbade anything but a spiritual manifestation. Ohhhh Boring old Paladin!! Travelling with you was always a blast, I grinned at the screen a lot when we grouped.

18577, How about me? Booohhhhhh!!!! Posted by Nycoe on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM We fought together quite a few. Favorite paladin to travel with. Blah need to go to bed, work tomorrow.

18595, RE: How about me? Booohhhhhh!!!! Posted by Lruthlor on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM Hehe I lost count of the number of times I would get into a scrap on Eastern road and suddenly you were there driving your dagger into someone's side. "Oh there's Nycoe" I would think and grin. More often than not they would not survive. We definitely made a ferocious little team, glad to see you still in the thick of things.

18576, RE: (Con) Lruthlor Posted by dwimmerling on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM You were fun to interact with, and as an intrinsic team goody, I felt bad being at odds with you about killing goodies (though I really, really have an ooc hatred for all conjurers). Cool paladin, nice paladin, and good job overall. Kudos!

18574, Yes I Know Gherian's a human Posted by Lruthlor on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM can't think who I'm confusing him with

18569, Descriptions Posted by Lruthlor on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM Your description is: A somber faced young paladin, with a granite chiseled chin and piercing sea-green eyes. The bulk of his shoulders and the ease with which be moves in his massive plate and armor are a small indications of his physical strength. His thick hair is plaited and tied with thin strands of mithril. Although he wears the trappings of a noble knight he appears to have the rough edges of the common man. Your description is: A somber faced young paladin, with a granite chiseled chin and piercing sea-green eyes. The bulk of his shoulders and the ease with which be moves in his massive plate and armor are a small indications of his physical strength. His thick hair is plaited and tied with thin strands of mithril. Although he wears the trappings of a noble knight he appears to have the rough edges of the common man. His armor though polished and well kept, being in the manner of a seasoned crusader, it is dented and scratch having seen much wear and tear. The eyes burn with holy fervour and the set of his jaw belies no doubt that he will not be bowed nor quelled in his quest. Your description is: A somber faced paladin, with a granite chiseled chin and piercing sea-green eyes. His face is drawn, gaunt and emaciated from long days in fasting and prayer in hopes that his Lord will give him a vision of a path to his redemption. Wearing only the trappings of a Knight of the Phoenix he folds his massive hands together and kneels, only to be wracked by a coughing spasm, leaving him weak with the red hue of blood on his lips. Wiping the blood from his mouth he continues to pray. Your description is: A once fierce and noble paladin. He has found his final redemption in death.

18568, Fine forget me!!! Posted by Charlenne on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM Was nice running around with you. Tried something new with Charlenne and wanted to be uncaballed and maybe just a tad bit annoying and greedy. I hope I did not piss you off too much. Maybe I'll see you in some other incarnation.

18572, yeah yeah yeah ! Posted by Lruthlor on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM I knew I'd forget loads of people! =0) Yes it was definitely fun especially having You and Gherian bickering over shinies! =0p

18567, Role Posted by Lruthlor on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM Your role is: Added Mon Dec 16 16:37:32 2002 at level 11: "What is it Master Grhunhok?" "It's a bairn, yer lurdship. Damn big bairn, bit 'es a young'un richt enuff" Sir Endlhoff looks at the dwarfs soaked breeches and damp beard and says in some wonder "You went into the sea to fetch him?" Grhunhok snorts "Wisnae gonna leave 'im tae droon." He wrings his beard out and picks some wayward seaweed. "iffin A hud kent 'eh wiz a bluddy sturm wean ah'd widnae huv goin spashin in sa' fast tho', bit watur breathi'n ur no, he wiz tired an sheevrin. Nae tellin how lang he wiz oot thur" "So where did he come from?" Endlhoff peers into the blankets. "Is he blue from the cold?" "Naw his kin aw huv tha colur" the dwarf grunts. "I see, but there are no storm giant settlements on this coast. Perhaps he was from a vessel?" "Mubee, mubee" Grhunhok ponders the swandling bundle, the; child is the length of his leg, but appears perhaps little more than a year; old. "Weel back tae tha enclave wae 'im. We kin decide wit tae dae wae 'im whun we've got 'im fed." Added Mon Dec 16 16:42:07 2002 at level 11: Sir Endlhoff looks unconvinced. "Perhaps we should leave him with the sisters at the convent? We really have no one who can look after him." Grhunhok looks up at the paladin knight, "Ah've spent enuff time wetnursin ye an yur green wild-eyed comrades whun yer sick, A think ah kin feed a muckle bairn fer a day ur so. "As you see fit Master Grhunhok" Enflhoff knows when to back away from the enclave's Weaponsmaster. There was no subsequent trip to the convent the storm giant child became the ward of the old dwarf, and by the turning of his 10th year he was twice the dwarfs height. It was just after his 15th birthday (as the human reckoned it) that Grhunhok was called to the preceptor chambers in the east tower. The young paladin squire at the door snaps to attention when the dwarf stomps into view around the curving stairwell. Grhunhok squints up at him: barely 17, he has the first downy showings of his human adolescence showing on his face, he will earn his knighting the next year. A small bead of sweat rolls from under his helm under the scrutiny of the weaponsmaster. "Shall I announce you Master Grhunhok?" he asks, his voice warbling through it's range desperately trying to find a manly pitch. "A'm no here jist tae check yer armor" Grhunhok replies. The squire steps to the side and raps sharply on the wooden door. Weaponmaster Grhunhok to see you Preceptor Nuran Show him in the muffled voice replies" The squire swings the heavy door open and Grhunhok stomps in, his metal shod feet muffled as he crossed the thick carpet. The preceptor is behind a large oak desk, papers and dispatches litter it's top. Looking up he smiles and gestures for Grhunhok to sit on the low wooden stool. Nuran puts his quill aside and turns to face his old friend. "I thought we might talk about your ward. Grhunhok frowns wit's he don noo? A'll flay he's blue arse iffin he's bin causin trouble! No no no" Nuran placates the dwarf, not at all. I want to talk about his future. "Wit dae ya mean? He's gonna tak o'er fae me whun ah croak. Tha's wit he's bein groomed fer" frowns the dwarf. Nuran nods his head and taps his index finger on his pursed lips. "Perhaps, there is something more for him? He is a most skilled warrior, indeed I have not seem him bested by any of the squires. You have trained him well. Grhunhok grunts still much tae lurn though." Nuran nods "I will not dance around my old friend, I know you do not think much of us noble knights, but I think Lruthlor should take the squires mantle." Grhunhok starts to respond but the preceptor intercepts his objections "I know he is not of noble birth, but you well know my feelings on that. There are few more noble than you and he has the makings of a fine knight, the question is will you let him follow his dreams or will you let your prejudices hold him back?" The young paladin at the door winces at the choice oaths that pierce the air. Several hours later Grhunhok stomps across the courtyard to his well kept quarters next to the training grounds. Lruthlor! he bellows "c'mere laddie". The tall and somberfaced young giant looks up from the harness room where he has been refitting straps to some platemail. He finishes and strides over to his guardian, aye Sur? Pack yer things lad, yer leavin Grhunhok replies. Lruthlor's heart sinks Sur? huv ah dun somint wrang? Wit dae ye mean leavin' "Dae as yur telt boy!" the dwarf barks, and stomps away. Lruthlor's jaw knots and fighting the pain in his chest goes to pack his things. An hour later Grhunhok returns and orders him to follow. Across the courtyard they go, into the west towers and up to the second floor. The young giant is completely baffled, he has racked his brains to think of what he had done to merit banishment his mind is a whirl then the bang of a door agains the stone jerks him out of his reverie. Grhunhok stands in the doorway looking up at him with a strange expression. Stow yer things laddie, these wull be yer digs frae noo oan "bit these ur squire's quarturs sur? Lruthlor stammers. Aye lad, fer that's wit ye ur, an ye bettur mak sur tha yur oot an ready fur inspecshun furst thing on tha morra. Dinae think fer yin momunt ye'll git special treatment, and dinae take nae kack fae nane o' them blue bluids. A dinnae unnerstaun sur! Wit duz thus mean?" "Yur gonna be a knight lad, yer gonna be tha best goddam knight thus land huz evur seen." Added Fri Jan 3 10:30:24 2003 at level 20: Lruthlor has studied well at Vehstnoi Monastary, his prowess in combat against his fellow knights has earned him much respect amongst his peer and tutors. Those who could not see past his humble upbringing quickly learned it as they looked up from the dirt of the training yard at the somber faced young paladin who had just bested them. The hand extended in respect to assist the downed opponent was never refused, and often the clasp of those hands cemented friendship evelasting. Added Sun Jan 5 19:36:31 2003 at level 22: Touched by the hand of the Shining Phoenix, he has found renewed vigour, strength and determination. He has also learned some very painful and object lessons in the ways of evil. They fight not with honor, but with deceit and trickery. They have no concern for the etiquette of combat and he has realised that much thought, control and preparation will be needed if he is to be Victorious over the darkling hordes. Added Mon Apr 14 11:51:21 2003 at level 51: The campaign has been long and hard, and victories have come and both for and against him. In the midst of his life Lruthlor once again pledged himself to the destruction of evil and darkness but undertaking squireship in the Fortress of Light. Lending his passion and his swordarm to the brothers and sisters, Squires and Maran, Scribes and Acolytes who had pledge their lives to the same end. A meeting with the noble Sir Tristran in the mists of Barovia has given him more insight into the ways of the honorable paladin and Lruthlor hopes in time the knight will teach him more.
