Great job Quesnel and Trewyn!!! Not that I was a big part of your life or anything, jsut wondering what you thought of me, both as the Herald and The Rager. Also thanks for helpinh me on the quest. Though I think you ended up finding the wrong thing it was still cool. I had never been in those sewers before. Good luck on your next!

There goes like half the cabal. Ah well, I really liked quesnel, throwing parties for me whenever and what not. Highlights for Quesnel probably include the 7 emotes to induction meeting, and then the parties that followed afterward. I sure will miss you all together. In any case good luck with whatever you decide on next, your last two are successes enough in their own right.

In response to Reply #14


          

That and you used emotes prolifically. The main reason I'd NOT induct people into Heralds is because they wouldn't use emotes. If you used emotes within two minutes of walking up to me, you were well on your way to getting in. If you used emotes that fit your character and stayed in character and had a good role you were in even if you didn't belong But yeah, Arvam and I both liked you and as for the parties... It was recruitment facilitation. Free advertisement AND I figured you'd enjoy it. ALSO I wanted to see if you could cut it so I put you in the "hot seat" to see how you'd do. Don't let the Inn die on me now... I'll be coming back some day. }>

I'd have to say the same thing about you, you were Dalrin's only real friend, everyone else were just people I knew, even the Warlocks. We had plenty of fun adventures, never did finish that book hunt. Never really went much for it after we found the Tower though anyways. I'm sure we've left a wall of corpses there that ought to keep people tripping over them for years to come. Probably the best moment I had with Dalrin was when I decided to ignore Annalena's rule that all Warlocks shouldn't have anything to do with Jacynth followers and kept hanging around and adventuring with you. Anyways, had fun, good luck with the next and all that jazz.

Well, sadly enough, I knew this day was coming. I have to echo what Arvam said. You really were a breath of fresh air for Heralds and for Jacynth as well. The best kind of characters, in my opinions, are the ones that evolve with time and experience, and like you said, you were truly one of those. So much happened to Quesnel in his life and all of those experiences went into making him who he was and that became quite a rich character. You were a lot of fun to interact with, through the good and not so good and even though Jacynth and Quesnel didn't always see eye to eye, somehow we always managed to come out still on speaking terms at the end of it all. *winks* I'm glad we got to have one more 'dance'. It was great, really. By the way, did you ever finish that one quest...or even try? A yes or no will suffice.

Yes or no... I never found it. If I had, I'd have told you right away. I'm sure it's something obvious I never saw. When you gave me that quest my fire to explore that place had already dimmed. So it became kinda difficult.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-14-01 AT 06:10 PM (CST)

Started this character up as a fluff off after Trewyn. It took me about 40 ranks to remember how to play a bard, then about three weeks to get to hero. So Trewyn's wish to conquer the Silent Tower was almost complete. NEXT time I'm bringin' more people with me (Yes, I am kidding)

Okay... farewells

OH, and as for the none... I always wanted to induct myself into none for some strange reason. Figured this was a good opportunity.

***************************************************

Dalrin - Quesnel's Absolute Best Friend. Infact, his only friend. The rest of the world Quesnel just called "people I know"

Iunna - My wife. Had the best of times. Even enjoyed our fighting Keep it up. May you find what you are looking for.

Jacynth - WOW! What can I say... You get my "most interesting Imm" award AND the "always following me around" award. With all the interaction I got with you and the rest of the Herald Imms a follow up char is gonna be hard, if not impossible. I'll play another one of your followers later, in about six months or so I imagine.

Arvam - Had some good times with ya. The only regret I have for deleting is us not getting to do that Festival we were planning. If you put it on, log it and e-mail it to me. (fergusong@uamont.edu)

Tindarelin - I enjoyed our travels and talks. Keep the inn going. There needs to be more Heralds.

Keniston - Had a blast. I was still trying to find ways to kill you

Annalena - You had a special spot in Quesnel's heart. The only complaint I have is that you tend to hog all the "credit" and or fun. I don't know if this is your doing, or the imms. I, as Quesnel, ALWAYS tried to bring others into quests.

Pohanad - *clicks his heels together and salutes* Fallen soldier! Keep it up!

Kamba - I liked you a lot. You ticked Quesnel off with your zealotry, but as a player I had a blast.

Karnavex - Don't worry, your secret's safe with me. *winks*

Caelph - Barely knew you. At least in my book. We shared some ideas. Quesnel thought the Nexus was a joke No offense. Just the role play.

I left off a buncha people... and I know I did. But there just is TOO many to write stuff to with the little time I have right now. Remind me and I'll tell you stuff about what Quesnel thought

***************************************************

Quesnel started off as an unlearned person. Coming from the north where EVERYTHING is different. The customs, the talk, the food, the clothing, the purpose in life... Everything. Coming south he saw trees, big ones anyhow, for the first time. He saw his first goat, and cow. And generally had a blast. I created him to be either a nexus, or a trouper. I wanted to relive the days of when I was a trouper so I tweaked my role a little and made him a trouper. Quesnel was my masterpiece at the "evolving role" If no one can vouch for that, Jacynth can. What turned out to be a freak conversation with an Immortal ended up being a turning point in Quesnel's life. Once strait-laced, now care free and quite the opposite. Well, that's all I'm gonna say about that for now.

***************************************************

Complaints:

1. Bard songs cost too much mana and add on some other stuff I won't talk about, I just couldn't keep everything going.

2. Quests take too long to develope. That children quest of Balator was supposed to be a fleeting interest, but I found myself sticking around and "evolving" my role just to stick it through.

3. Imm's tend to get "pets". And they give most of the attention to these "pets" and not as much to others. This doesn't bother me so much, cause I get all kinds of interaction for some reason, but I see all these other people that could use some as well.

4. Tribunals need some power. As a hero, it's a joke being wanted. The only inconvience you have is that you can't buy pies

***************************************************

Praise

1. The Silent Tower is absolutely the BEST area I have ever seen. The story line is great and it ties into just about every other area. That's what gives CF it's great atmosphere is the way it all links together.

2. The new herald powers are cool. They beat the hell out of what I had as Drakenhoffen.

3. All in all, great. I like the changing and the updating. Keeps the place alive and interesting. Keep it up! I'll be back when I find the time again.

***************************************************

Past Char List (Since I'll be gone for a while)

Drakenhoffen - Really started it all, I had a few before this.. but they never made it past 25

Indigo - (Don't laugh) My "role" with this one didn't sit well with Twist. Was supposed to be an elf with human qualities. Was raised by humans.

Beruhigend - Sylvan ranger.
Two more sylvan rangers who's names I forget
A master I never logged on with after he got inducted

Jheriohn - I shoulda stuck it out with Jheriohn... woulda been fun.

Trewyn - First rager, first leader, made the pillar! Woo hoo!

And then Quesnel - My favorite so far.

***************************************************

Feel free to email me about anything. I'll check this forum for a few days to reply and stuff. Till then!

Quesnel

We had some fun didn't we? Liked you at first, then you fiended me and killed me on a raid of the old Scion Palace and seemed not to care (that was what ticked me off), then we became good friends again. Good work man, really, I enjoyed it, every minute of it. A really well played char and a great player, hope the fields gets you back sometime in the future when you can do it. Thanks again.

I'll be back some day. Just right now I can't focus on my music, school, work, and social life as it is. Add in CF and it just won't happen. I see me coming back in 3 to six months.

And as for me not caring... That was Quesnel. I really was sorry. The Trewyn inside me was going geeze that was stupid The Quesnel was going I got the bastard! (not you or the other guy but the scion I was trying to fiend)

Oh that reminds me of the strangest conversation I had with someone... Khadii and I were talking about Trewyn and it was VERY hard not to smirk and smile as he was talking about Trewyn I hope he comes around to reading this some time. I wanna see how well I pulled that one off.

Hrmmmm call it time spent around eachother or whatnot... but I knew you were the player formerly known as Trewyn. *laugh* As for Khadii, he knew it was you as well.. whether he did when the two of you had that particular conversation or not I can't say for certain. I interacted with you only minutely... too easy for me to slip back into old patterns and I can't shed any further light because I'm still alive *knocks on wood* with my present character. I'm sure you did great just wish I'd have been able to shed old alleigences with regards to hanging out without slipping into that buddy buddy mode, so that we could have hung out more. Good luck with what you're into and I'm glad your departure from playing a villager was so successful. *wink*
Have fun,
Hyshie

I'll be back some day. I've decided to say to hell with pk ratios and to just play a role. When I find the time I will though. I'm waiting to see how the Imms say I pulled off my interpretion of neuuetral neutral. I despise nn's that use the alignment to do what they want for selfish reasons.

Anyhow, see ya around.

You were a great character. I didn't realize you were Trewyn when I inducted you into Heralds. I am glad you had fun. I really enjoyed your stories and you were perhaps the my best inductie into the Heralds. Good luck on your next Character.

You were a breath of fresh air for the Heralds, and you gave us a much needed kick in the arse with all the stuff you whipped together on a moments notice. You made good use of the missives to whip up some fun little things to put on in a moments notice. You also sure did a great job of burning through con as a Herald, *winks* I can't remember how much con we gave you, but you got pretty close to biting it a few times if I recall. Heralds are gonna miss ya, glad you had fun with them. Oh, and yeah, I'll be sure to get you the log of that when I get something together, as well as that concert if I can ever manage to get something there. I've been toying that idea around since I was a mort.

In response to Reply #5


          

I think you gave me 25-30 points of con. Once I became leader I started not to lose it so much. I asked for the leadership position so my con wouldn't drop so much Or at least that was one reason for it. I had a borderline con, where one more point loss woulda killed me, once, I had a five con twice. I had a 12 con twice. I actually got it to around 17 when I heroed.

But the real reason for all of the Con Loss is that Quesnel was too lazy to go out and get protections, too lazy to wait for the oponents to separate, and too stubborn to call it quits.

Memorable quests - Item Quest (Blessed Candle, white samite gown, bottle of cheap wine from the dale cemetary, blue slippers that i had to get someone else to request for me cause they beat the utter snot outta me *glares at Jacynth*)

Story Quests - I think I had two of these. I told a tale of Quesnel's love for Jacynth, which eventually faded away with time. It was one of those pivot points I was working on.

I think I had another story quest.

I got my exp hole removed for the egg hunt. After all the exploration I did with Quesnel that egg hunt was a piece of cake

Lessee, I had a hole of 300+k or something like that. Hours of agonizing death in the Silent Tower'll do that to you though.

I had a blast in the underdark that day. And just between you and me, that was the first time I had ever gone that far into the underdark as leader. And I figured I'd abuse the well balanced group we had to explore a bit

For those that didn't know, The Quesnel Method involved wandering aimlessly by pushing random buttons assigned to north, south, east, west, up, and down until I finally got where I wanted to go. With that method I wandered my way all across Thera.

I knew this was coming just didn't know how long it would take. You held onto that last bit of life for much longer than I thought you would. It was good getting to know Quesnel and a bit of his background as well as having someone outside our ranks to interact with a bit. After our first few encounters I had realized how bad I fared against any bard without the propper prep so I made it a point to not seek enemies amongst their numbers less I had to, and you made it easy to seek a comrad rather than an foe. I learned travelling with you, and you encouraged roleplay, to me both are the marks of a good character. Since our first battles and at your prodding I have found several things to aid against those damned songs. All in all my character was better for knowing you. See you in the fields.

P.S. That time you were waiting at the pit for my word was classic.

I left a good word with some people for you. I'm hoping that takes some measure in getting you some cool imteraction. I liked your "hands" emotes and stuff. You were the only Scion I would talk to because to be honest, you were the only one who WOULD talk to me. The other's just formed groups of three, four, five, or six and said 'Mmmm, Quesnel on a stick.'

And the pit was Quesnel's laziness coming through. THAT and Quesnel liked to poke people and see how they'd react. So I stood there waiting for you to come in to see if you would attack or teleport.

Oh, and on a side note. Did you ever find that "artifact"? If you did, just say yes.
