At 5 o'clock PM, Day of Freedom, 32nd of the Month of the Shadows
on the Theran calendar Brynne perished, never to return.

My dear friend. When I got back into playing regularly I kept looking and looking for you, but alas I have found you've deleted. Our little chats were always fun, and almost always from far away. I enjoyed every moment of them. I hope you enjoyed Mela just as much. Mela didn't care for elves much nor those who follow a chaotic path, but you never acted like such and Mela loved you for it. As a player I want to say very well done with your rp. I would have liked for you to be queen pin. I know my contributions weren't much, but anytime I had extra gold it had your name on it.

Good luck with your next.

Mela

Like I said before, it was always a pleasure to interact with you. Whether it was running around for gear, gathering gold for the "Queenpin" fund, or sparring in parts unknown I had a total blast. You were truly one of the people I always looked forward to when logging in, and you were one person that I always made sure I had time for no matter what the days events had me doing. I tossed up my email addy below your post on my thread if you ever feel like tossing me a line. Believe it or not I've interacted with you on more than one front. Below is a log I got running another character thats long since been deleted, but maybe you remember it.

The Tale-Telling Fire
A huge gray stone fireplace lies in the west wall. Small statues sit atop a
thick oaken mantle; their shadows dance against the wall in the fire's
light. The fire seems to move with a beat of its own, slow and rhythmic,
moving back and forth. Despite its large size the fire barely whispers a
crackle and its heat only surrounds you in a warm glow. Plush couches and
chairs surround the fire and a large rug covers the floor. As if respecting
the tales to be told, the noise from the rest of the inn also seems to quiet
and dim to a dull mutter. A painting hangs above the mantle, swirling
with colors. People sing and dance to the east in a cleared area. To the
north more soft chairs and tables sit about while to the south lie long
tables stacked with food.


Brynne the elf is here.

<100%hp 100%m 100%mv 9190tnl> l bottle
The dark blue bottle is marked with a silver label, but is otherwise
fairly plain. The deep red wine smells strongly of cinnamon and clove,
and several scents that are wonderful but unplaceable.

A dark blue bottle of spiced wine is a drink container, made of glass, and weighs 1 pounds 0 ounces.

The Tale-Telling Fire
A huge gray stone fireplace lies in the west wall. Small statues sit atop a
thick oaken mantle; their shadows dance against the wall in the fire's
light. The fire seems to move with a beat of its own, slow and rhythmic,
moving back and forth. Despite its large size the fire barely whispers a
crackle and its heat only surrounds you in a warm glow. Plush couches and
chairs surround the fire and a large rug covers the floor. As if respecting
the tales to be told, the noise from the rest of the inn also seems to quiet
and dim to a dull mutter. A painting hangs above the mantle, swirling
with colors. People sing and dance to the east in a cleared area. To the
north more soft chairs and tables sit about while to the south lie long
tables stacked with food.


Brynne the elf is here.
A stout dwarf bouncer hefts his cudgel and looks for trouble.
Resting in a deep chair by the fire an ancient dwarf opens his eyes and

Sydrian

Very well played. You were the kind of perfect subordinate that really boosts the confidence of a leader, giving them the confidence that is necessary of a leader. I enjoyed all of our interactions immensely, if you respond to this, I sure wouldn't mind an update of what has been going on in the guild, as I haven't been playing since Hipsin passed on. Anyway, thanks for all of the fun, you were a great RPer as a goodie in a guild led by a good hearted greedy little bastard.
