This was a fun character to play, one of the long list of
Necromancers I've played whose names happen to start with
a K (Ktavialt, Kuhkliva). Part of the reason I started Kravidian
was to give the Hero lightwalkers something to do besides sit on
your asses all day, I hope you appreciated my efforts . Going
to say my goodbyes in categories so its easier. This is in order
of how much of a pain your types were to Kravidian. Spent a long
time being the only Hero range evil character around.

Warlock Conjurers - Impossible to kill as a Necromancer. Got
easier later on down the road with changes, but still impossible.
I'd see two Marans, a Dawn, and a Warlock in the Fortress and
I'd run in and think, hey I'll probably be able to nail one, but
once I see a Conjurer in the group, its useless.
Anterrabae: Rough, glad you were always exploring. I saw a post
on Dio's forum saying "hey, if I am supposed to kill someone,
but I don't want to because I feel pity as to how impossible it
is for him to get away, should I...". Just after that time you
stopped forming hunting parties to kill me so I was thinking that
was directed at me, was it?

Sylvans of all Kinds - Snare, cold be sleep, swarm, frightful
fiend, thorns, then bearcharge = dead Necro. Just too, too
powerful. Snare is sort of like summoning someone who can't word
of recall into a locked, noexit room, except you don't even have
to be there to do it. After a while I learned that if there's a
Sylvan Bard in Thera, never step off the road. Luckily the
Sylvans seem to have become less combat oriented and, at least in
Belarion's case, they've actually decided to take their battles
outside the forest sometimes. Can't say there's a Sylvan that
have actually conversed with me so no specific goodbyes here.

Offensive Major Transmuters - Rough.
Sultonath\Jaggeris: You know what I mean by that, sort of like
Samneric from Lord of the Flies. You two were tough alone, worse
together.
Sanlen\Vahorik: To the Warrior part, thanks for the help.

Mace wielding, Storm Warriors - Hated most of you. Hate cranial.
Polmitius: You got close to killing me nearly a million times.
Talnic: You never seemed to have that problem *mutter*.
Golasghil: I fight you for the first time, you kill me. I fight
you the second time and kill you, you delete immediately. Control
that damn rage deletion, though Kravidian was awfully happy you
took your life for good, made his life a lot easier I'd bet.

Maran Paladins - Eyes of fire is probably one of the most useful
cabal powers for your kind, it makes any Paladin ten times more
difficult.
Falthule, Balrahd: Ouch to both of you.
Amadioru, Elvam: The fights with both of you were good.
Roussiant: I liked the way you played a Paladin.
Vilaeren: Losing your touch.

Bards: Galadon is dangerous because of you =)
Quesnel, Pohanad: Wish I wasn't fighting against you two all
the time, seem to be very neat people to be around.

Other Warlocks - Your cabal is designed for making my life
difficult.
Conradin: Shouldn't have went after me like you did, I was about
to delete there and then you pop up and attack me. I kill you and
come across all this neat stuff and then decide to live for yet
another day.

Ragers - Would have you much higher on the pain list if you had
an ability to fly to me, or locate me like all the others did.
Torakkel, Tahren: Lots of respect to both of your chars.
Rio: Hate Rager Thieves, would hate you more if I wasn't an arial.

Others -
Deavmor, Astakar: Figured I'd need to make friends will all the
rangers I could, thanks for the help there.
Makivante, Ilcahnius, and other younger Maran meat during when
I was in my lower ranks: Sorry about killing you so much =).
Ciemar: I liked fighting you.

Scion - Didn't get to know a whole lot of you. Mostly fought
on my own, but to the ones I remember well or spoke to..
Madraech, Daemelin, Stoslav: All there for the roughest parts
and managed to do more than just hold your own.

To the Scion Immortals: If you wondered if I was disappointed
that I wasn't ever Chancellor, I wasn't. My RP was limited, I was
usually gung-ho, didn't work well in groups, I quit often after
dying, I wasn't concerned with making me look nice, part of the
quick-tap club of kill or be killed quickly, I hardly ever took
time to gather preparations, I hardly even raised zombie armies
because my character was impatient. In short, I wasn't surprised
I wasn't ever made Chancellor. I do think I was very useful to
the cabal during its beginning stages. Just about every week I
would kill a Maran/Maran hopeful who would lose lots of good
equipment then they'd pop up on the Graveyard. Rage deletion was
my biggest ally.

You were one of the first era Scions that Madraech could always count on. Well played and good luck on your next K-necro.

Great, no mention of the infamous Croc battle.

God, thought I had a chance to beatcha with counterspell and all that (Necromancer's second worst enemie). bite, bite, bleed, you flee, come back to repeatedly to try and sleep me. Finally you got one off and that nearly got me... Came close to dying but underestimated the duration on your poison/plague/crimson scourge. Eventually survived with 300 hp to spare after randomly teleporting away.

Got to say, NEVER hunt with a crocodile form. Just an exercise of futility.

Well, had fun with ya... Hope to see ya around in your next incarnation.

Arvidor

Forgot this piece of my goodbye, I uh.. dropped it..

Other Warlocks - Your cabal was designed to give me pain.
Arvidor: The infamous crocodile o' fear. Damn those jaws
of death which stared me down every second of my mortal
life. I threw everything I had at you but you just laughed
it off.. *cough* bullsh-t. Well at least you nipped a few of
my feathers off.. maybe.

Shouldn't the alligator and crocodile forms be switched? I
always thought Crocodiles were a million times more aggressive
and powerful than alligators.

What can I say, you were the ONLY necro that even had a clue on what to do against me. Pissed me off...heh. Needless to say, you were the only necro that I even had an ounce of respect for and feared. I could always tell that you were a quality player, you did a hell of a job. I can't tell you how much I respected you coming around when there was absolutly no one else on your side, it really said alot to me.

As for your other two necros...I remember them too, hell I even helped rank Ktavilt back in the day *chuckle*. See you in the fields.

You killed me once or twice before I was in ragers, and I'm pretty sure you got me at least once more after I was in ragers. The most memorable fight was with Torakkel against you and Yizenxlach. We were defending the village without the head, and you guys were stacked. I don't remember if it was you or Yiz, but one of you failed a sleep on Torakkel that would have changed the outcome altogether.

Once I heroed, though, I think you were below my range, stuck eternally at level 47. That was a good thing for me. You were fun to fight, but I never entered battle with you without thinking that I would surely die.

#1260, "That fight"
In response to Reply #8


          

Torakkel had some amazing saves which kept any spells from
causing any damage. I told Yizenxlach he shouldn't go to
the Destructor when you have a Rager with entwine there,
damn it. Oh well I understand the frustration of having a
crappy link, he seemed to have that problem a lot and it
makes you do dumb things. I really didn't think that a Rager
Paladin would be very useful, but I was proved wrong. I just
like seeing new stuff work out. Good tactics when fighting
Ragers aren't usually complicated..
Cast sleep, flee, return, cast sleep, flee, return, get
deathblow'd and hurt badly, flee, vamp touch a few creatures,
return, cast sleep, flee, return, cast sleep.
That was most of my fights, unless I had a vampire and a
room with no exit handy, or a Sylvan was around, or another
Rager, or a few other common hazards.

I am hesitant to believe that your death to me caused this.

Bored? Frustrated? What's the story?

I was going to delete the day before, but then Conradin showed
up and I managed to kill him, and he had some neat things. I
decided I'd live until I died next, and then you came in. So in
a way yeah you did cause me to delete, but if you didn't someone
else down the line might've tomorrow or the next day.
