At 6 o'clock PM, Day of the Great Gods, 19th of the Month of the Ancient Darkness
on the Theran calendar Ilasair perished, never to return.

A very enjoyable character from my point of view but towards the end I just couldn't keep up peak hours to fight. Furthermore, I tried to avoid thieves/assassins and be really sneaky/underhand so I didn't really have all that many straight up fights. So some quick goodbyes.

Allies:

Ophanelu - Really enjoyed being ordered about by you Actually it was good fun shadowing you, I learned quite a lot. Would have loved to remained but I lost my way towards the end there. I just wasn't feeling the character anymore.

Merric - The early interactions were good. Had fun shame things went the way they did at the end.

Ubosh - It was all said in your death thread, a strong ally.

Kostyan - Didn't really interact much, but it was nice not being the only early morning Imperial. I think the greater % in cabal was due in part to our retrieval efforts during off peak times when some of the Fortress were around.

Enemies:

I had no problem with any off you and had some good fights. There was always some respect shown between us, which was nice. I think I got a lot of you once or twice except the paladins.

Gramoak - well played. The roleplay was spot on, always a pleasure dying to you.

Mryzzle - we had a couple good fights and it always seemed to go one way or the other. That time that I had you, Gramoak, Chante and Tonamanadulas (spelling?) chasing was a real rush. I still don't know how I survived.

Ton(whatever your name is) - It actually wasn't my intention to suicide that time during the second retrieval. A series of errors let to a virtual suicide run.

Atrinycyn - I think that death in the battlefield was one of the only times I was caught truly flat-footed (I hate 3 round lag on scissor kick. Spam practicing it is a nightmare, much worse than mule.) The stab/twist was a nice finisher, didn't see it coming.

Ckol - I had a lot of respect for you after that time at the Inn.

Dragahl (spelled correct?) - That time at the inn I wish I had tripped you instead of fled, that fight was touch and go.

Also, had some decent interactions with Creya, Aellendir, Jellek and some various other characters. Sorry if I left anyone out.

That first time we fought I had a perfect trap set, I kicked myself later on for getting slept. I could have won that.

Stone'n Bone feller! Good job, I was really pleased at the class exhibited on your part. You took dying with stride, you were generous with the things you looted, and it was always just a great encounter. You were willing to fight me, and whether you know it or not you caused a lot of trouble for me(Kote pwns shield ded).

Once again, kudos.

Gramoak

I knew all about the shield drop when you get a break. But wrath really really really hurts evils without protections. I had planned on assassinating you maybe, but I never seemed to land any since most people either were alerted by other hidey types or else figured I was stalking. I had several good partial hits but no straight up assassinates.

Also, you really worried me with assassinates. When I knew you were on, and I couldnt see you, I was hauling ass with all the experience of assassination-avoidance I could muster . So kudos on scaring most of the goodies in your range.

I *THINK* I would have pulled off the victory. In the beginning, I didn't, but that last round right before you fled I think had the fight swinging in my direction and I was hoping to lag you out and see what happened.

BUT, who knows, it could have gone the other direction too. That's what makes CF great - especially when fights are pretty evenly matched.

If you have it, you can post it on the other board - I don't log anything, but would love to analyze what I did right/wrong.

GLWYN!

Fun enemy with a cool attitude, from what I saw.

We had a couple fun fights. You were pretty gutsy but I got the impression you had a good plan of what you were doing.

And I really enjoyed the cocky Imperial RP. Too bad you never got a chance to "finish lessoning me on civilization" (or however you phrased it). Hrah. Well done.

With a couple exceptions, once marked they were toast. My first pk death was to a ranger when I was mudding from work, but after that I don't think I ever fell to one again. Zax came really close the other day though.

It's true!

Cool character. I'm not a pickpocket kinda guy and wish I coulda helped more in the fights.
