What Happened To You Today?

Minifie

aaaaaa! I am pretty not-confident at ship battles of any sort, I forget what all the weapons do and then panic, but thanks to an awesome crew we managed to clip a few ships during Kraken season!

Thanks to my kick-ass crew, and all the ships on the water (no joke I've done 2 ship krakens and big kraken slog fests) and it's my favourite IG time of year. 

Kinilan

More ships always leads to a good time at the start. WTB kraken fight with DOUBLE tentacles in the fog.

Satum

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 reached the illustrious level of Greater Dragon.

Finally after over a decade of playing this game, I stuck it out and got one of my characters to Dragon!! The 150% xp boost didn't hurt either, lol.

They'll unleash a hard mode that is just krakens all the way down.

This wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

More likely to just make a change under the radar where the Kraken just oneshots all the ships and has infinite health.... you know...to turn up the "difficulty".

What, are you trying to butter someone up for an upcoming employment application or something? Because that's how you end up working for IRE.

Jurixe

I woke up way too early for the Weight of History event and now I'm in bed again because super tired. It's always scary to try a new type of event format and a lot of things had to be changed on the fly, but overall I think it went well and thanks everyone for being great sports. Sorry it ate into your crusade @Proficy but I appreciate that you delayed it a little for me!

I'm sad I didn't get to listen in on any discussions - if anyone wants to share logs with me (or in RP logs if you want) please do!

P.S. I was rooting for Team Ice to win the last part - so close!

Lenn

I cheesed the heck out of trees, teamed up with Aegoth, and then died.

Honestly, you could have left out the "and then died" part of that sentence. Everyone knows how teaming with Aegoth usually ends up.

Lenn

Hindsight's 20/20.

Naoko

I won a duel in ret. I never win in ret! I'm all giddy!

Meriet

Hit level 77, made some Targossian friends, did a lot of reading on stuff, and joined Cyrene (for now)!
Hope to learn a bit more about person-to-person combat one of these days, once I'm all buff and tuff and ready to get ruff.

Don't worry, it happens even if you're Mhaldorian and team up with him.

So you're admitting there IS a Mhaldor-Hashani ceasefire alliance - heretofore known as Mhashan?  


Aaaand gooo.  Muhahah

This is the first thing that came to mind when I read Mhashan... needless to say, I have several regrets.

Astarod

I fought in the arena with @Aegoth on my team in the festival. 

I survived. I'd like to point that out. 

Truax

Weeks of work and worry finally paid off! I could not be more pleased with Ashtan's showcase in the Asterian Festival. Thanks to @Jinsun, @Amanda, and @Uilien for their help in pulling it off.

Jurixe

That was some great work for the Ashtan showcase, I enjoyed it. It's always nice to see your work finally being put out there and done. I'm looking forward to seeing the others.

Admittedly, I'm also eager for today to be over and done with when things should hopefully calm down a little!

Syndra

Went from this:

A heavy wooden shaft streaks from "Caspian's Mistake" toward "TLS Defiance", burying itself deeply in her hull.

A ballista's shaft fired by Austere tears into your hull.

Flames rise up from the damaged hull, setting a part of the deck aflame!

*** The ship is in danger of sinking! Beware! ***

= S++@h99,H--,W<-S@20kts,C/S->SW@8,V,[Sl]

To:

The Ship Arena has ended with "TLS Defiance", captained by Ellryn with full complement of Crixos,

Aegoth, Syndra, Ellryn, Davok, victorious!

@crixos and the timely arrival of @ellryn saved our bacon. Much, much fun.

You guys did great! Had totally thought I'd miss it, but I guess luck decided to throw me in having logged off on the right ship the night before!

Tbh this was the first time in recent 
memory that I didn't have some asshole go "that's an illusion lame!" In a tell so I'm pretty pleased with the results. Thanks for the nod and thanks for all your hard work.

Minifie

I wish I was smart enough to have regrets.

Cobault

You slip behind a mhun miner and garrote him with your whip.

You have scored a CRITICAL hit!

You have slain a mhun miner, 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 a group of 15 mementoes!

You have reached the illustrious level of Greater Dragon.

I DID IT!!!
Shout out to everyone that took me hunting along the way, which is a super long list of people that I leeched off of. I don't think anybody can compete with the excessive amount that @Mindshell did for me though, love you homie.

Ahh I'm so stoked. Like I know there are IC 20 year olds getting Dragon super fast (especially right now,) but I've been consistently in and out of this game since like 2008ish and never got Dragon on either one of my characters. Just always hated the tedious grind. It's done, though! Onwards to honour mob slaying!

Caelan

More like...  onward to 3+ RL years of trying to get the damn dragon pieces for Elder, or paying around 500-1000cr to just outright buy the set... :-/

Honestly though, good for you.  After not getting there in about 15 years of playing, it felt great to check that goal off my list

Martien

(Targossas): Astarod says, "Well done, Martien, and anyone else who put significant time into that."
(Targossas): Ravenia says, "It was a very moving performance."

(Targossas): You say, "I would like to thank Lady @Lyndee, the Dawnlord [@Sothantos], Archivist @Halos, and @Solaine

for their generous help with this project."

The heavens shimmer as the approval of Aurora, the Lightbringer radiates across the realms.

Sacred blessings suffuse your soul as an ethereal cloak of star-bright refulgence drifts about your

form, gracing you with a truefavour of the Lightbringer.

                                

(Targossas): Aurora says, "Such effort and dedication should be rewarded."

--
First actual favour, woo! Words can't really express how much I enjoy working on things with these guys. They're excellent writers and roleplayers, and their jokes keep me sane when I've been staying up until 5am editing illusion lines. It's a good note to end ministry things on (for now!).   
--
While I was trying to write this post, half-AFK in Combat Scriptures...

A band of sizzling golden fire crackles in an arc across the heavens.

A bolt of burning blue fire slams into the ground near where @Archaeon stands.

Archaeon grins mischievously at you.

"Ummmm," you say uncertainly.

You look sceptical and say to Archaeon in Targossian with a measured Hashani accent, "What are you

doing?"

Archaeon says in a thundering voice, "Oh just talking to the Lady."

You have emoted: Martien inches away from Archaeon.

You say to Archaeon in Targossian with a measured Hashani accent, "Mind your tongue, then."

Motes of everbright stardust coalesce into the lambent grace of the Lightbringer.

Elode, an Arcadian maiden looks up with a smile.

Elode, an Arcadian maiden says, "Aurora! Did you read the Appellant's Handbook? Tell me, how many

pages are there?"

Archaeon drops to one knee before Aurora.

Aurora viciously smacks Archaeon about the chops.

The Lightbringer disperses into a scintillating nimbus of star-bright motes, a warding radiance

lingering in Her wake.

well? @Aurora

Thaisen

You know the answer... cult leaders don’t actually believe in their own snake oil 

Caelan

Lol. Yall gon git crispy.


Edit: now I wish I made drinks. I'd sell things like Aurora's Kool-Aid.  Or Deucalion's Cinnamon whiskey

Syrennia

Archaeon just wanted to play fronthand backhand.
