2 o''clock PM, Day of Deception, 2nd of the Month of the Old Forces on the Theran calendar Kratilaire perished, never to return.

Another reason I left was the few poeples that enjoyed my antics was you and you were just nice to be around .. made things interesting and It was surely fun. I hope to see you again in the fields.

I had a lot of fun with this character, even though I made some odd
choices along the way. I originally rolled Kratilaire to follow Mynawk
but I started to get sidetracked by other things in RL and didn't have
a lot of time to play (which can often make getting noticed by an IMM
a tougher proposition). Then in what seemed like a stroke of luck the
Scion cabal got revamped and I found that my role could play into scion
pretty well also so I shifted gears. Unfortunately by this time I was
already level 49 and I figured I'd have a tough time getting in. I tried
to go on a killing spree and give corpses to Khurmen in order to show
my loyalty. It was going well, but then he deleted and I was up a creek.
A little while went by, and scion was in a bad way and always getting
smacked around so I think I mostly got lucky and I was inducted by Anith.
I was particularly glad that he didn't ask me how many paths I knew before
inducting me, as I could almost hear each person groaning when they
realized I only took four paths *hehe*. I tried to do the best I could
in terms of roleplaying a scion. My sphere was anger and I tried to put
forth the idea that the shadows would feed upon the anger of our
enemies. I tried to make a point of taunting people to get a rise out
of them, which sometimes worked, sometimes not. Overall I don't think I
did too badly for a four path invoker (ice, air, earth, and ooze), but more
importantly i had a good time. After I got back from vacation i haven't
really gotten back into playing, so when I'm ready to come back I'll just
make a new char. A few goodbyes below, and for those who are interested
in roles in general I'll post mine in a separate note.

Goodbyes :

IMMS : I didn't get any Immteraction at all. I wasn't very surprised though
since I didn't do anything very noteworthy. I thought I did well enough to
earn a lastname, but I guess not. I'll just hope I was overlooked and not that
people watched me and thought I stunk *hehe*. Thanks for doing your part to
make cf fun. I think what makes a mud good is 50% Imms and 50% players and
overall I think the Imms keep up their end of the bargain very well. Scion
powers are new and interesting and that keeps the game fresh (thumbs up for Valg)

Scions : I don't know most of the new scions that well. Aginal, You were good to
learn invokerish things from and great to fight alongside, even if you did make
me look bad with your showoff 7 paths *heh* Anith, thanks for inducting me. Vortigern
we had lots of good fights along the way. Helga, I was sorry to see you were gone
because I thought you were one of the more interesting scions to chat with.

Maran/Sylvan/Warlock/AssortedPaladins : Paladins, thanks for making the game more
fun, people like Abthalok, Brenbardo, Alnallander and Esmi etc. would always come and
strike the chasm so there was always someone to fight which was great. Gwimdorf you
were tons of fun to fight as well, congrats on your imming. To everyone that I missed
all the battles were great. Thanks.

Ragers : You all largely blurred together for me, but I hated you all and ganged
you every chance I could. I think that ragers are overpowered in combat, but that
overall they are balanced perfectly because of their other weaknesses. That said
I almost never tried to just engage ragers without trying to exploit their weak
points (like vuln_quicksand). I never minded you ganging me at every chance either,
because If I was a rager I'd gang every invoker I saw too . The one point of
note I'd bring up, is that when I did try to fight someone one on one, Other ragers
would almost always come and stand there waiting for me to cast an area spell. Then
claim oh, You attacked me so it wasn't a gang. I think that's a borderline thing to
be doing in terms of courage and honor roleplay, but I guess that's really up to the
battle Imms. Overall I had some good fights with battle though and so thanks for
all the fun (except assasins which isn't very fun after I get tigerclawed).

Here's my role for anyone interested


In yet another town the darkness of their secret slinks slowly
from the caverns of their hearts, spilling its soured seed upon
the life they have made for themselves. Planting tiny saplings
of discord amongst their friends and neighbors that grow as if
rooted in sacred soil to unyielding redwoods that tower above them.
The child, too youthfull to understand, but aged enough to feel
the wave of loss crash against her heart once again weeps upon
her mother's bosom. Her tears echo not to the heavens but are
muted as the bounce amongst the shadows. Her eyes grow red with
cold tears as they set out into the chilling winter's night.

'Come my child... we must leave here at once, we are not welcome'
'But why mother? Why must we always leave?'
'When you are older child, I will tell you the tale... come.'

Seeking refuge they wander through the trees, the wind wailing
loudly as it tears against their exposed flesh. Near exhaustion,
nearly frozen, and nearing her last breath, the woman finds shelter
in a cave to wait out her storm, but her years of age have been
unkind, and she feels the brunt of the cold drawing her closer to
the shadows.

'My child, come close to me now. I hear the whisper of the shadow'
'Mother i don't understand'
'To where I have come it is time that i return, come close... let
me hold you... take this, read it when you are ready'

Placing a small book in the child's hand the mother reaches out
and places her hands around the child, drawing her close in a loving
embrace. They lay down upon the bare stone, a chilled wind
whispering softly in the cave.

Awakening with the dawn, the child wrests free from the icy grasp of
her mother's corpse, shivering in fear and misery her eyes glaze
over in anger.

ROLE ADDED AT LEVEL 35

Alone she set forth, trudging though the cold but feeling nothing from its
icy grip. She found her way to a nearby town where she was taken in at the
orphanage. Even in school she found herself shunned by the teachers and
as she began studying the paths of invocation, none would show here what
her failings were, affording her only insights into the elements that she
found came naturally.

Whispers taint the air, tiny stabs made by those around her, carried to her
by the shadows. Sometimes she would hear voices of those who were not even
there.

'She doesn't belong here, it isn't safe'
'For her.... or for you?', a dark menacing chuckling
'She will come of age soon, then we will send her forth from this place'
'Well... let us send her far....'

And so upon her coming of age, she was sent from the village with a trading
caravan headed for balator. She never understood the whisperings from the
shadows, or the fear within the eyes of those who saw her. But the reactions
of those around her, always aloof, suspicious, and sometimes cruel slowly
took their toll. Her rage and frustrations grew within her until she was
nearly consumed by insanity.

ROLE ADDED AT LEVEL 40

Many years had passed as she wandered through the lands, never long for any
one place for fear of the whispers in the shadows. A dull ache ever present
pulsing, deep within her soul. And so she set forth, alone. She had grown to
prefer the solitude though, as she stewed in her anger she set forth for the
solace of the mountains. The icy winds once again assailing her, though this
time she shrugged off their pain. And in the mountains she found solace,
though perhaps not the kind felt by others. She learned to embrace her pain,
to lock it within the confines of her mind. To bring forth her frustrations
in waves of bliss. Though she knew not how she had achieved these things. For
she felt as though she has been lead down the path, though by whom...

What you lacked in paths chosen, you made up for in enthusiasm and not being a coward. I liked that you were always up for a fight and chose to be a hunter, not sitting around with your thumb up your ass.

Good roleplay as well, you played the fanatical evil bastard to the tee. Again, wish I could have interacted more....hope to see you again in the future.

I loved your character ooc. Sure, we fought together at level 8, and then finally again at around 40, but then there was the incident in Velkyn Oloth.

I was VERY pleased to get the reaction out of you that I did. I can't tell you how many drow I had 'smacked' before, and never had them do anything back. When I smacked you, I expected nothing to happen, although I HOPED it would. Thanks for giving me the beat-down later on when I couldn't do anything about it

In the little time that we interacted, I thought that your character simply rocked. Great drow.

I was headed over to Velkyn Oloth to try to kill Meladori when an army
walks by, So i told them I was going to kill the bard and did they want to come along too. That's right, I ganged an elf bard to hell. She didn't even care, since my goal was to make her angry (sphere anger) I multi-killed her twenty minutes later too. And I don't feel an ounce bad about it. Well... OOC.. sorry about that Meladori. Here's what transpires.... (guest appearance by Malur, Malur's dead carcass, and Khurmen). This is a standard don't fight an invoker in the mountains log where I avalanche everyone to death and then taunt them. Posted for the slap and retaliation. Enjoy.

It's always nice to see an invoker go, except when they're on my side. Strange affinities you had, although probablly not the worst I've seen...but really...no fire or water? Anyways, you made a good effort, and that counts for alot.

I had wanted to try out an invoker, but I'm pretty lazy when it comes to practicing so I decided to play half-drow (24int) and four paths giving me affinities of 10,9,8,8. In hindsight this was a little bit
overkill, I could have taken five paths because the difference between 8 and 10 really isn't much. Originally I wanted to go Mynawk and so I planned on more solo pking. Here's why I chose what I did.

Oooze - quicksand and all the other utility, ooze is pretty stacked.
Air - Improved Invis, originally I was planning on heroing and then mercilessly hunting those who couldn't see me. This became less relevant when I joined scion, and I would have done better to have
chosen something else.
Earth - I really hate dirt kick, and pebble is good for killing people
Ice - I needed one good damage path, I liked ice over fire because Marans are resistant to fire, and ice provided more utility with iceneedles.

Why i dropped the others :

Water - water is a good path, but doesn't kill storm giants, of which there are a plentiful supply. Geyser is great but originally I was planning on avoiding large 5 on 5 type situations which is where it really shines. I also planned on avoiding ragers since they almost universally cranial. This was a big loss in the end, but If I had taken five paths I would have taken fire
over water anyway.

Fire - I was sad not to have immolation, but other than that I found
living without fire not that big of a deal.

Lightning - The least usefull path, when dropping them this one is a no-brainer (not that i think it isn't good, just less usefull than others)

Water- When I am fighting five people alone, as I am prone to do sometimes, I use geysers unless half or more are storm giants. One round, large damage, plus arial, felar and dwarves are particularly vulnerable, it is a true killer, and the protection shield of waves offers is not to be underestimated, especially when dealling with three warriors, two of who use maces.

Fire- Immolation is awesome. I have no idea how many people have run from me, only to die from the burning soon afterwards. Most went into the village shrine to do it. Nova is perhaps the most powerful spell you can have, although I would say it is more useful on mobs than PCs generally. However, fireshield alone makes the fire path a must have, too many things use fire, and worse, blasts of flame.

Lightning- Too many people discount lightning spells. Yes, I only use two of them after all that study. Those two are worth it however. I fought a rager in a no-magic room and let him kill himself on my shield. Pillar hits hard, and the arcing electricity, while not particularlly powerful, will whittle someone down a bit, and they have to choose between healing and the lag of it, or running farther. I have to admit however, I have yet to see anyone become lagged at all from a pillar, of course maybe it lasts less than the lag from casting. Lightningshield really does not come into use much except against invokers who have bothered to study the path, and some of the more powerful mobs who like to do blasts of lightning.

Just my views of course, they've worked pretty well for me so far. Although I have to admit, those icicles you had were pretty nasty.
