What Happened To You Today?

Meriet

I'm guessing because there was basically no naval engagement so they discounted that part, + not enough third party influence and Aegis didn't get deeply involved
So in essence the only real bet to win woulda been "Mhaldor wins" and like one or two others 

Lucianus

Weirdest coincidence ever. @Taryius is such a bro for winning the auction for it. 

Earlier in auction:

Pandora, the Wayward Heir says, "It is quite the historical find, really. I am sure you are all familiar with the sword
Three Moons?"

Pandora, the Wayward Heir says, "Well, this is not that."

Pandora, the Wayward Heir says, "However, it is almost as important."

Pandora, the Wayward Heir says, "Wielded by a Blademaster of, some would say, much greater skill than that Lucaine
fellow, he was unfortunately not quite as well-known. Fame, after all, does not always reflect merit."

Pandora, the Wayward Heir says, "I give, you then."

Pandora, the Wayward Heir says, "The scabbard for a sword that should have been legendary, but wasn't."

Pandora proudly shows off the scabbard for Two Suns:
Black, hardened leather peeks from underneath two sections of solid gold to form a stately, almost ostentatious,
scabbard. The aureate detail is embedded with a small fortune's worth of diamonds and sapphires, arranged in intricate
patterns that hint to labour costs suitable for the material display of wealth. Each of the twin decorative ensembles is
themed around imagery of the sun, stylised rays extending outwards from each like shifting, writhing tentacles. Though
still magnificent, the great age of the sheath is evident, the ebon's lustre dimmed with small tears apparent here and
there.

Later:

Taryius says to you in a harsh, rasping voice, "Show the world the sword."

Two Suns rings out brightly as you rapidly draw it from a battle-scarred scabbard of aged leather.
You swiftly withdraw Two Suns from a battle-scarred scabbard of aged leather, careful not to stress the
stitched edges.

"Oooooooooh!" Proficy says, eyes wide with wonder.

With evident regard, Aegoth makes the sign of the Seven to you.

Proficy says, "Two suns meets two suns."

Aegoth says, "Ah, the original and not-an-imitation Two Suns."

Adrik gives you an appreciative whistle.

"Ahah!" Paine exclaims triumphantly to you.

Silas flashes you a quick thumbs up.

Taryius gives the scabbard for Two Suns to you.

Taryius says to you in a harsh, rasping voice, "The proper home for a legendary sword."

Drauko

I reached level 81 for the first time on any character, IIRC.

I think it's an awesome coincidence in names too - Lucaine and Lucianus. You're practically begging admins to come along and be like "hey, wanna be Lucaine's long lost relative or something?"   
That's so cool though!!

Tianondria

Probably one of the last things I ever expected to happen did:

Chancellor Tianondria Al Qawi has been appointed to the position of Lumarch of Targossas on this day.

So happy and so...freaking out. I got this! *panic*  Targossas. Thank you for believing in me @Aurora, @Lyndee, @Silas, and anyone else who may have had a hand in it!! 

Meriet

Woooo! Good luck!

Kinilan

The band got back together for an hour and it was just the best.

Wooot! Thanks @Irissa and @Jidgai for the help!

Kresslack

Spiced up my hunting adventures by not only adding the Rainbow Crit script, but the 'Toasty!' sound effect from MK.

As per Dunn:

Why would you try and traumatise Naram?

Dunn

He was in the bog too so that must've been muddy.

Probably just made it all that much more enjoyable for Kinilan.

Love me a dirty bitch

Sobriquet

Channeling the fury of battle, you prepare to unleash a brutally swift stroke against your foe.
Drawing back a curved sword of shifting shadows, you unleash a flesh-mincing blow at a sleek black werepanther.
You have scored a WORLD-SHATTERING CRITICAL hit!
You have slain a sleek black werepanther, retrieving the corpse.
Your soul cries out in ecstasy as it reaches new heights of power. You have advanced to level 123.
You have reached the illustrious level of 1st Degree of Supramortal Existence.

Slain List for those that are interested:

I'm not big on hunting optimally for XP, I just do it for fun and relaxation so that list has no plan behind it. It just is what it is.

Same, though lately I've been making a conscious effort to hunt more and work towards dragon. Just seems fundamentally necessary these days for a lot of reasons.

Iaxus

I know I'm shit at hunting simply because I don't know what 75% of those mobs are.

Atalkez

Most hunted looks like LHG Tir and Sirocco

Vhaynna

Lot of Tsol'dasi and Tree mobs too.

Sobriquet

Sirocco is terrible for XP but with Talisman drops and able to drop moss use its a great easy way to build the cape charge. LHG is made easier with the Crit rate I get and Maya Figurine and hardly anyone hunts there, which is nice. I only started hunting Istarion again recently when I got the environment gem and I'd not explored the Tree in ages so headed up there and found some nice hunting spots.

I don't hunt UW or Annwyn and hate sailing, so islands are out.

I'd be very curious to see the slain list for the guys at the top. 

Gallida

Prin, Annwyn, Azdun Catacombs would be my guesses.

Also, elementals are my vote for best XP/gold to effort ratio, as long as you're careful and not just rushing into groups of them.

Dunn

Yes go to Annwyn. 

Aegoth

annwyn and UW best bashing for sure

Kresslack

I went on a ride-along with Penwize last year and he hit up a bunch of islands and other places in a pre-determined circuit he calls the World Tour.

Iaxus

I only ever really hunted Dun, Tir, and Sirocco. But they're also always cleared. 

Dunn

Penwize was my tour guide during the last Staff Great Hunt... it’s not hard to see why he is the level he is. That island route is -insane-.

Reyson

I held Black Mass today! So fun. 

Aegoth

Ysela was right when she called @Atalkez a Serial Oathbreaker

We'll miss you buddy! Hope you have a great time in Targ, and have fun playing Team Good!

I appreciate it!

Also @Stheno @Sartan @Dunn @Dalran @Mizik @Taryius @Proficy @Iaxus @Aegoth @Reyson @Jurixe @Eoka @Ellryn @Jomi @Saibel and anyone else I may have missed for being accepting of this little story arc. I appreciate ya'll, and hope there are no hard feelings! Love you all

@Atalkez You'll be back.
