At 9 o'clock AM, Day of Freedom, 32nd of the Month of Winter
on the Theran calendar Delromsin perished, never to return.

Well what can I say about this character? It was originally a character to use as an explorer for my next character. But things turned around when I started roleplaying with Amaranthe and certain Outlanders (Malkhar). I was also going to go defense/offense, but when I got stuck with the bobcat and mob died a few times I just said screw it when focused defense again and came out with Sand Lizard, what luck.

Basic Breakdown of Forms.
Hedgehog: Crappy form, but then all first tier forms are crappy.
Wombat: I used this ranking in Aridhol of the footmen LOL (when I wasn't tanking of course)
Bobcat: Hated this form up until my last day of play and i found some respect for it ranking on Caralyndarl.
Sand Lizard: Possibly the best 3rd tier form there is. Strong regen, resistance to fire, decent damage and I even found sand blend useful.
Porcupine: *grins* With preps this is an unstoppable form in my eyes, with the exception of the weakness to staff/spear/pole. I never used preps even though I almost always carried aura/shield. Quills tear the #### out of most enemies. Very much respect.
Mongoose: I was praying for crocodile, but instead got something even better. The porc/mongoose switch during combat is simply outstanding. Mongoose seemed toned down from what I compare my warriors fighting to what I experienced with the mongoose, but props all around. AWESOME FORM!

Role: I had no written role which is most likely what led to my un-induction, but #### happens right? I stayed in role almost the whole time with a few exceptions where I got either depressed OOC or mad IC. I turned my explorer into a naturalist who went from following Amaranthe to being a child of "The Mother". I varisously exploited the emote command on this character with my spheres that I turned into seeds to plant, and roleplay with others. Another thing that could have turned ill with the Ancients was my strong will for knowledge and teaching. I most of the time found myself teaching everyone I came in contact with about Thar-Eris and the Mothers Will, or as Delromsin conceived it. This was a fun char overall, and yes defense/defense can be very deadly with the right forms. But Delromsin wasn't about murder or killing, he was more of an annoyance to his enemies, and a teacher of his beliefs.

Goodbyes:
IMM's
Andrlos: I have to go with you first, Delromsin liked you at first, but when you started treating him like a child, he began to detest you. And blaming Liehah's death on him was really crappy. However, I love you character OOC, wise hardass who likes everything his way.

Lyristeon: "The little Imp" Loved interacting with you, you always seemed to see things my way, and vice versa. I possibly would have pushed my character toward following you, but I have a large natural sense. And when you crapped on my head I couldn't stop laughing.

Amaranthe: I spoke to you around 3 times in tells, but never once at your shrine. You blew me off 3 times when I saw you visible and I was sitting at your Shrine. It was then I realized you weren't going to interact. Though I do like your roleplay

IMM Who played the Huntress: Im curious who you were. I believe you were Amaranthe, but I could be wrong. Email me with the answer if you don't want to display it here.

Shazirah: Thanks for the EXP bonus for my poem, it was interesting roleplaying with you and Arvam.

Vynmylak: Roleplayed with you a bit, I wish I could have talked to you again before I deleted though.

Phaelim: Wish I found your shrine and RPed with you. You seem to be an interesting god.

Outlanders:
Malkhar: The first Outlander I talked too, you were hell of an awesome traveling/hunting partner. Well done.

Therisa: Delromsin loved you when he saw you. It was something I liked to have IC, and I really liked your roleplay. Well done on Harbringer.

Alynana: You Malkhar believed in me and it was because of you two with Lyristeon and an unseen god who brought me into the Refuge.

Vonyx: No, I didn't give you the gift for a reason, Delromsin was always giving away stuff like that ALL the time. When I have you that I was running with 1500hp.

Zadatak/Ehlrimson Well done, I tried to give everyone equal attention.

Scions

Jyslin: Loved traveling with you until I heard about your Druk-Trar and what they did. (Yes ive been in scion a bunch of times. I knew what they did, but Delromsin didn't). Very competant.

Inelour: Thanks for the crown but by the end I started hating you.

Drokk: Tough ass mofo

Ragers

Krodren: Killing me out of form when I tried to talk to you was ####ty, but then again I would have done it had our places been reversed. Well done.

Jinroh: Incredly roleplay. Your knowledge on the whole magic thing is perfect, especially bringing things back ALL the way to the Forsaken One. Knowing that magic isn't stolen, but a gift to mortals, yet believing it was something that should be returned. Awesome RP.

Janakt: We had a few very close battles, and some not so close. Crappy. I would have killed you in our last bout if I didn't run out of mana.

Tribunal

Odrirg: How stupid and weak can one be? Sorry Delromsin hated you and I hated you IC and OOC. Your beliefs seem mingled.

Daemar: I had respect for you up until you started threatening me and trying to get me to raid. That is just one thing that Kara Chal would not do. And you were the hand.

Lochzan: Yes I know things would have been different had you had Supps, but you lasted longer then I thought you would have. Well done.

Sostun: You were a nusance when you got your shields. But that was about it. You were of little threat to me.

Gjelke: I believe you killed me once... Or perhaps I don't believe you did. I can't remember. Well done.

Grurk: Wasn't mortal long enough to fight you much.

Empire

Yanacek: First Imperials I interacted with and I just survived the overpoweredness of Emetic Poison. I ended up with -1000 movement and -700 mana oh and 300hp. You have a FINE ass set. Hope to see something good from you in the future.

Drudental: Always threatening me, yet nothing came of it.

Nynncynno: I believe our interaction got me booted from the Refuge.

Zauttevre: Imperial Healer, hard to raid against.

Talabrina: Good RP, and another Imperial Healer.

Grottimgesg: Damn I almost had you but then tactics tear Mongoose apart.

Dryzzel: See above, well done in chasing me off.

Gulthruck: We fought 3 times, twice I chased you off, once you killed me. Good job on the kill. I was totally farkarooed.


Well this was a change in shifter luck, from Temden Cobra/Jag to Xyleel Rattlesnake/Panther, and now Delromsin Sand Lizard/Porcupine/Mongoose. Well, its time to start another though I have little time to spent with the game now. Real life has started. EWWWW

Signing out... BattleCharmed.

I loved your character and really wish things had turned out differently for you. I am hoping that you getting booted from Outlander was not the reason for your deletion. But then again, I can sure understand if it was. When I spoke to you at like.. what? Rank 15? You wanted to be an Outlander then, and didn't make it in until well after I did. So it kind of sucks when your goals get killed like that.

You made it into my role, but I cannot really elaborate. Suffice to say you were an important part of Therisa's life. And all the dragon gear certainly helped as well. I had planned a nice little burial ceremony for you when you died which I was going to log as a tribute to you. But then after you deleted, like all of the Outlanders logged out but me. Oh well. Good luck with real life. I've never really had much luck with it myself.

I had the feeling you didn't like me for some reason... or maybe we just didn't interact enough.

We travelled a bit together and I enjoyed our rides. A shame you got uninducted. Good luck with your next.

(Damn I envied your sand lizard! Nasty combo with the porc, and mongoose...)

Pombe

Now that I come to think about it, I forgot my previous pack...

Pombe: The first member. I wish you showed up more after I was inducted into Outlander. You were one of my main traveling partners and wanted to travel more. HAHA, You attacked me in Yzekon!

Jahlrix: Crazy little svirf I armed and who treated me well. Well done.

Gleamar: You killed me at first, then you apologised and offered me your armor which I refused. You would have been a strong member of my pack if you showed up. Flying around Thera finding Imperials.

ROFL! That time in Yzekon... it was like 5am and I could barely keep my eyes opened heh, sorry again. The mongoose/ram would have been a very deadly combo but I don't think we ever fought anyone together, too bad..

Had a lot of fun travelling with you. Good luck with the next I liked what I saw from Delromsin.

I really liked what I saw from Tulv, strong character and loved traveling with you. Possibly the most confident invoker ive traveled with in a long time.

One of the most entertaining battles I've ever had. Learned a
freakish amount about PK/fighting from our series of skirmishes. Id
never seen one of your powers before, I'm pretty sure you know
which. Once I learned how to deal with it it did exactly what it was
supposed to do, annoy/hinder my ability to stop you. To make matters
worse, I was pretty much naked (which is what the comment I made was
refering to), and there were no blessed weapons in the Spire pit. I
wasn't unarmed on purpose

Have fun with your next.

You made a snark comment about something of weak or something because you were unarmed. The thing is. It wasn't just you there. I had previously chased 2 others away and was working on you. the kill was lucky. Yes, that is such an awesome power. Too bad it is so limited, as most of my powers were. My most used power was NOT chameleon, it was Harvest. Most of the Refuge believe in the act of surprise, the reason we held the Fetish so much was because I let myself be seen as much as possible. I loved being a hinderance to my enemies, and its what i used my forms for.

>Zauttevre: Imperial Healer, hard to raid against.

Annoying outlander but not a threat in any fight, not for me, not for empire. It's not like you could be a threat, but you could be more annoying Dedication, dedication...

Not a threat with a healer with Black Shroud, hardly. But without the healer, you take away the skill. I killed a few Imperials alone. They were just too... unfortunate to lag themselves.

Hrmm, we didn't fight much but absolutly no mention of me?!?! Hrmm.....I'm disappointed.

I didn't fight much with you, but you were extremely annoying. Always showing up when I was arming. Sorry... But the simple truth is your forms stood no chance against mine. My forms were just about impervious to all forms of attack. The reason I died so much was my OOC wreckless nature in doing things, my horrid dial up connections, and my Farking stupid computer crashes *4-7 a night*

The things I liked about Delromsin was the attitude about going into a battle. You showed no fear and would fight against bad odds.

The things I didn't like about Delromsin were mainly from an Outlander view point. I had to use the Huntress that one time to convey those points to you. I didn't want you to see my religion as the basis for Outlander. It is not. I am just a few facets of Outlander. There are many similarites, but some glaring differences.

For instance, I probably could see myself getting involved with an Anathema from a religion standpoint, but, not likely from an Outlander standpoint.

As for crapping on your shoulder...well, lets just say that I have a chaotic side and an evil side. Those who are with me are more apt to see one, while those who are against me are going to see the other.

There have been a few of your characters that I have watched and it's the players like you that keep things interesting. If you can just get the whole OOC and IC anger thing under control, you just may hit the next level as a player.

Why was I booted in the first place, that I would like to know. And I wasn't a follower of yours, I was a follower of every Outlander IMM if you watched me enough. I had the Kindness of the Maiden and Mother from Amaranthe, Your Chaotic Side and deceptive nature when it called for it. I even showed something of Saldaridan and Sebeok as well. What pissed me off was I was talking to Andrlos over CB and boom, im uninducted. Would have been nice to be uninducted in a more fashionable way such as "The Huntress's Warning" or something. I still had no clue why I was booted and thats what pissed me off. Also, was it you who gave me the dream while the Imperials were raiding?

There were a couple of reasons as to why you were booted. First off...treating a duergar thief who was an anathema with anything but scorn and trying to kill them is a real bad move. Talking to paladins about coordinating raids is a bad move. As a neutral outlander, those are both groups that you should neither like nor rely upon for anything. If evil outlanders should want to kill paladins, and good outlanders should be the ones to try to talk them out of their ways, then a neutral should definately not be coordinating raids with a paladin. This information is in the cabal. And using the excuse of getting the fetish back shows weakness, not deception.

I never stated you were a follower of mine, but, you acted more like a follower of mine then an outlander. That was the point I was trying to get across. Everything I stated above would be fine as a follower of mine...but definately bad as an outlander.

I don't know the specifics of how you were uninducted, only the reasons behind it, so I can't really respond to that.

I don't recall the dream you are speaking about, so I can't answer that.

Inducting a hero into a cabal is generally a bad thing. Very few get it right for a simple reason. Heroes have too much time on their hands and don't get the benefit of listening to others as much over the cabal channel. Someone who comes in at a lower level gets to listen to so many different things over the channel while they are out learning that by the time they can engage in the real wars, they have the concept much better. Andrlos and Malkhar were basically groomed for Outlander with nudges for over a month of real time. It takes that long to get a basic grasp to a cabal if you haven't played it before. We are still at that stage where we have to figure that everyone is new.

I knew you were frusterated by my lack of response in regards to the religion. I knew because I saw you expressing your frusteration with me to others, as well as expressing your disgust for your initial rejection from the Outlanders due to your low wilderness affinity. The former led me to not feel inclined to respond to your prayers, and the latter delayed your induction into the Outlanders, and you almost didn't get in at all.

On the positive side, you did perservere in spite of difficulty and not getting what you wanted right away, which is why you ultimately found a place in the cabal in spite of Andrlos' misgivings. Your preserverence is a good thing, but you need to remember to be a little bit less IC expressive with your OOC frusterations - you're watched a lot more than you think you are.

Also regarding your attempts to follow me; anyone who tries to follow Amaranthe who isn't one of my three spheres is going to get observed extra-long before I approach them. It was during that observation period that you started to get frusterated with my lack of response and saying less-than-reverent things to other people. (Which of course you're perfectly welcome to do, but it's not really tattoo-quality dedication.) And incidentally, if you're going to try to do something a bit abnormal,(such as trying to follow a religion while holding a sphere not included in that religion), use the role command.

Your tenacity was appreciated in the cabal. Just a bit more immersiveness in your character would have gone a long way. Good luck with your next.

I can't speak for the rp since I didn't see it. However, I did see Delromsin trying (successfully or unsuccessfully I'm not sure) to retrieve from the Imperials quite a few times, but you'd either succeeded by the time I found out you were there or left.

I don't think your forms were well suited for fighting a necromancer though. I always hoped you'd try the porcupine on me, but you only did it once, whilst defending the fetish, and I think you found out then that it doesn't resist spells very well. Mongoose would have caused me more trouble, but I always figured you'd probably try to kill me if we ever fought.

Usually though you played how I'd expect an outlander to be played. You'd hit somewhere, and by the time I arrived, you'd be gone. Also, you were around a lot, often on your own, which I also admired.

I really liked Baendra from what I seen. Always giving me the go, when I was around except for that one time in the Desert. You ran past me 5 times while I was flagged... Yes Delromsin was practically a lone wolf in the Refuge simply because of Andrlos. It gets irritating when you get blamed for every wrong instance that happens. Also explaining to others how to use there class was getting really stupid as well. Ive played just about every class but Shaman, and it gets irritating when your sanc runs out and your healer sancs the third in the group instead of YOU, the TANK.

Just wondering why I might have done that.

No, I wasn't even in form. You might have been chasing someone else though.
