It's been a blast. I started this character just to waste time, but then decided to go Fortress and kept going.

This was my first character since 2005 and my first non-shifter since 2001, so I was pretty rusty with the whole melee thing. I think I did pretty well at lower ranks but for the most part got eaten up at hero. But it was still a lot of fun.

Argivo: You got a role chapter because of the influence you had on me. Thanks for the patience.

Eachainn: Thanks for the induct and all of the special things you did with Shaendath to make him feel important. Great Captain.

Vallinane: Thanks for not giving me the boot. I know I screwed up your kills more ofthen than I helped you land them.

Other Forties: There are too many of you to try to remember, but most of you were great. I didn't get to know as many of the current crop as well as I should have, but there are some solid people, both Maran and Acolyte.

Enemies: Standouts are Eleagra, to whom I lost a bunch of con, Iepnier, Narissorin, and Xasivus. I didn't talk to you nearly as much as I should have. Next time I need to play a non-stealth class.

Baerinika: My last character was a Fort leader under Aarn and Shokai. I never thought that there would be a Fort IMM who could equal their presence. You were a fantastic Fort IMM, even to a non-follower. I'm sorry you get so much guff for rewarding/Maranation/doing-that-thing-you-do. Your influence made this character even more fun.

Last thing - I hate to sound like an old-timer, but at least at the hero level, NO ONE should be complaining about looting these days. I've never walked back to so many almost-full corpses with any other character. Spiked-toed boots? Yeah, I kept those through multiple deaths.

So, sincere thanks from the heart on that. It really means a lot.

I thought this character was all around good, though obviously you struggled at first in the PK area to get your feet under you. Later though I think you really got more comfortable with what you were doing and really shone.

So! Come back to the Fort. We lurve you there.

you were the best. I wish I could play with your nerve
I've been around since nintey six and enjoy seeing
someone who can truck. no matter the horsey.s
move way.

I chewed through your con too!

I felt like you eventually figured out you weren't a good matchup against me, but that tripping worked well when you had a gang, since I was usually too lazy to use fly, or else intentionally let myself be lagged.

Sorry that I forgot to mention you in the first place, but you (and Scree) did do a number on me. On the other hand, you were also one of the classiest enemies I had in terms of your RP. In those early hero days, I took fights without much prejudice, and you helped me learn a thing or two about fighting conjurers.

But didn't even lose two con points to you. Eleagra got almost four!

Hope to fight against you again sometime soon.
