Cyrene raided! Cyrene raided! I got to raid! Woooo!!

I totally wish I'd have stayed at work longer so I wouldn't have gotten pulled into the defense. Would love for yall to have been able to blow that tank to encourage more raids in the future.

I did feel kinda bad that we rushed with so many, just one of those mdor things though. Bring more people to the party next time Cyrene!

Skye

I beat the FitGit... for now.

An ugly little FitGit tells you, "You're done for today, you greasy thing."

Nicola

Knock it off with the memes in non meme places, please!

Ygia

Finally became a full house member again. Taking it slow and steady this time around, etc.  

Soles

Helped two legit novices get on their feet. They called me "beautiful person" 

Vinzent

You dive behind cover as the massive flame-infused creature reaches critical mass. Screaming in rage and pain, a coruscating fire elemental explodes with a massive blast, decimating almost everything in the surrounding area.
As the elating experience of victory washes over you, you feel your understanding of the world improve.
You have completed the Rubble Rouser resolution! Congratulations!

Keorin

Two disarms, and I think it was three other times we shoved Targ out without them getting a tank. I am so proud of Cyrene right now.

Jinos

I haven't been able to play much. Lots of painful things happening in my life right now.

Logged into chaos. Forgot what class I was, and tried to remember all the things I forgot. 

The adrenaline rush was a great stress reliever after the last two weeks. I wish I was able to be around earlier for proper defense melee.

I wasn't able to do much, but I had fun for the brief time I was around. Great job defending, Cyrene.

Missed you, buddy. Welcome back!

Ygia

All IC feelings aside, Cyrene did good today. Wish the peace talks coulda come to fruition but uh... Well... Bit late for that now.

That was a blast. Honestly, that was the hardest defense I've come up against in a LONG TIME. I'm glad we didn't overdo it, and that you guys had some fun as well. 

I was surprised that the Garden popped in, which made it super memorable, and I was scurred when I saw Aurora become visible. I really didn't want to get thwapped. Y'know?

I'm happy I got to pretend to be Judicator Vinzent for the thing. 

Ygia

While trying to avoid two bounties & other general iff:

You have slain Lavarin Pelendur, the Shah, retrieving the corpse.
Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 102.
You have reached the illustrious level of 4th Heir to Ashaxei's Legacy.

Now is bedtime.

Aranos

@Veldrin pops up at Rally Point for adventures and challenges me to RPS. 

You say in a calming voice, "What you throwing?"

Veldrin says in a deep, sonorous voice, "Orck."

Counting to three together, you and Veldrin simultaneously thrust out your hands, yours in the shape of a paper and Veldrin's in the shape of rock.

YOU WIN!

Magelord Veldrin Crescent Concordia starts to wield the corpse of an orc guard in his left hand.

You are startled as the corpse of an orc guard bounces harmlessly off you after being thrown at you by Veldrin.

Veldrin says in a deep, sonorous voice, "Well I threw orc."

Elansha

Aurora said to make Cyrene pay, so I tried to phase in to steal some gold earlier. Sadly someone else was in phase there, so I ended up taking a dirtnap, and didn’t even get rob any of the npcs... still worth it.

You can blame @Mizik for that! He robbed someone in Cyrene just a bit earlier, so I went to phase to look out for him, but instead you were there 

Mizik

I was just spouting off about Cyrene anti theft. These dudes are straight up gangsters. Call for help on snap and I'm sitting there like 😟

Naoko

After a career record of what's surely 50+ losses to Emiya, I finally won one!

Ygia

I sailed for the... third time, second while in 'direct command'/without the owner there, first while in direct combat! And I didn't sink!

...Yes, I got to 'gone' and got yellow warning... but I didn't sink!

Adrik

So two things happened today!

tl;dr

Got dragon

Ranked up explorers.

Farrah screamed "FINALLY!" at me.

Edit: There's honestly a shitton of people to @ in this post. But. @Yen , @Czanthria , @Krizal , @Elon , @Minifie , @Farrah , @Mezghar , @Kuriel and a shitton others. Too many to name, and make into an obnoxious post. Thanks a ton.

Naoko

Another Cyrene raid! We crashed and burned from inexperience, but we learned a ton and still got kills. We'll get there!

Keorin

Honestly, raiding brings back nostalgia for me from the early days of getting into the arena and getting utterly thrashed. Getting to go out and die with people is great, even if I screwed up my targeting the first time, and then the target order the second time. Could've had that sanction.

Thank you to @Barrien @Miradelle @Grouulthuun @Naoko @Emiya @Keorin @Nephiny for coming and dying with me!

Venmara

Drawing back Caomhnoir, a narrow ivory blade with wolven motifs, you unleash a flesh-mincing blow at the queen manticore.

You have scored an ANNIHILATINGLY POWERFUL CRITICAL hit!

You have slain the queen manticore, retrieving the corpse.

You have learned a new Attainment ability: Dragonhood.

Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 99.

You have completed the Ashaxei's Brood resolution! Congratulations!

You just received message #2609 from Achaea.

You just received a group of 15 mementoes!

You have reached the illustrious level of Greater Dragon.

A large pile of sovereigns spills from the corpse.



HAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... My FIRST character to ever reach Dragonhood!!!!


But seeeeriously, love to @Keorin @Naoko @Edena @Auria @Sabetha and sooo many others for always keeping me chipper, for always making me laugh and for making it not seem so sodding tedious. Cause oh good grief it felt tedious at times.

I had a meeting over using emotional embeddings to detect fabricated images/videos. Mentally clocked out of that partway through and logged into Achaea to see what was happening.

Shala-Khulia boss was up! Checked CWHO and saw around 5 people who I should probably talk to more so I can indoctrinate them into repeatedly doing stupid things with me that may lose them exp.

Took a deep breath, donned my ceremonial battle garb (spoilered below because I don't know how to image), and repeatedly tried to breathrain any engagements I could find until I had to actually pay attention to the meeting again.

TIL I am absolutely, without a doubt, terrible at breathraining, but it was fun trying to figure out who was on the island, where they were, and if it seemed like an okay time to come in and rain.

Now if only I could time my breathrain better so I could have felt as fabulous IC as I did OOC when doing it.

In my defense, I absolutely would not have targeted/hit you if I had known that's what you were wearing.

Skye

I got a picture of all the bosses \o/

Thaisen

I'm still missing one... 

Ygia

Some invisible enemies/effects give away their allegiance a little too readily.
Also, this sort of lets me know how the game handles things like deaths that don't come directly from an enemy - they make it an enemy, then turn it invisible. Probably. I might be wrong on that, but that seems to be how this happened. So stuff like dying from a "deadly fall" effect is probably a coded enemy too, I guess! Neat!

Clenching his fists, a small ball of energy glares at you and begins to fume.

Caelan

Got a LOT of playing time last night. Like 5 hours worth.  Re-discovered that Eleusis is like Nature and only really comes alive after dark. It was so nice to have more than the normal 1 or 2 combat active people around during my normal hours. When I play from work, it is from 6a - 6p and people log in more after about 8p so..  was great to feel like we were doing the event with a group instesd of passing it by because of low numbers.  Beat up Hashan, got beat up by Hashan, for some reason killed Vinzent too?, then beat up Ashtan and got beat up by Ashtan. Also got some hunting in.  All in all, a good break from life at home for 3 weeks.
