Kelfer of KoI has invited all of us to a knighting ceremony held at the Tamadeus Keep in Enden this Thursday night at 10 eastern.

Alright, I can get keys. Actually have some ready to go, wondering who is up for this on Sunday. Gimme a time and we'll see what we can do. With luck we can get a couple runs in.

Yeah this week was really bad for me. Today is my first day off since umm, Sunday before last... and school kinda messed me up so im a week behind on homework after finally figuring out a way to pay for it. But it appears Kelfer from KoI is a night owl too and we talked about a festival he's planning out that he wants some of our help on. More info when I get it. And like Piper said we talked a little about some things to do the other night. I'm just a little RP deprived myself after only having a 5 minute session with one of the Yewian idiots in the past month or so.

Yep definitly from eggs. Most of them come from purple eggs but a few special lucky few, like Nimue, come from blue ones

Bill is kinda hard to understand, but you can always ask him in guild "what'd ya say?" and he will usually tell you whatever it was. He takes some getting used to, but if you hang out at the tavern often enough you learn to speak his language I had a lot of fun too, I don't usually get to come to meetings or the tavern night so it was great to see all those that did come and hang out a bit.

Thats great, congratulations. By the way, if you want some +5 mining gloves let me know I have a few extra pair laying around I would be more than happy to let you have.

Sure go off and make some sense for once Kodoz... And Piper it's a freaking year away, theres this thing called planning... I know we both suck at it but a year and a half should be long enough to do some of it.

I think its a great idea, but why don't we make Kodoz drive a little and do it here in South Carolina. Just think Charlie, its a couple hours closer for you... *hint hint*

Are you looking for LRC with decent resists, or just resists or what? I can make or find you what you need, but I need to know what you want first Just let me know and i'll start on it soon as I can.

Your a little slow there Calli, Charlie already answered him a few days ago

I believe it is called City of Trisnic, unless he changed the spelling on it already, and the abbreviation was Tris I think. Like Charlie said though, we all should be more active in Trinsic than we have been, and it won't hurt anyone to use the royal bank or take a quick walk through town every once in a while.

Sounds like fun, I will most likely miss the bard's night though and probably the easter thing since we have been working Saturday every week so far. But I should be able to make the april fools day event.

Actually, I think that corpse is my Cu... yours was higher up

Thanks for posting that Calli. There are a few more shots on the Stratics site, minus the streakers thankfully.

I'm here, well most of me anyway

I would if I could, but you guys have fun

Thanks Doc, appreciate the support. And Mareak, whenever your ready And we are all ready for the picture elf to make his appearance again haha.

As she entered the castle in search of Jin she could not help thinking of what the task could be this time. She wondered what else he could think to take from her to make the task more difficult. She stopped outside the doors to the main area and muttered to herself “only thing left to do is send me out naked to tackle an ancient wyrm.” She shook her head and opened the door. Jin was sitting in one of the thrones, and as she approached he stood and started talking. He told her of the banner of the Praetorians, and how the Praetorian Prefect would sit in that spot if there were such a person today. Quite suddenly he came to the task that would need to be performed. She was a bit confused when he told her she could use any equipment she desired for this task… that is until he started listing off the foes she would need to defeat this time. As she walked back out of the castle she started muttering again, and did not stop until she was back at home looking over the equipment she would need to take with her. Shield, sword, proper armor… she stopped suddenly realizing the only thing she had meant as a demon slayer was a skinning knife… She cursed, and packed extra bandages, and set off to the fan dancer dojo to begin the task. Immediately on entering she was confronted by one of the enemies on her list, a fan dancer. She shrugged off the blows inflicted by the fan dancers and set off in search of something else on the list. She rounded a corner and came face to face with a Ronin. She checked the list again, and sighed. Succubus… should be right down this hallway. With the succubus dead, she decided to leave the area. “There’s got to be a Balron somewhere other than here” she muttered to herself, as she headed for the Citadel to begin on a different set of enemies. The Lesser Hiryu was quite easy, she had fought them many times before and knew what to expect. It managed to dismount her, but fell soon after. So far so good she thought to herself as she went searching for more of her targets. She found the rune beetles next, and managed to lure one out alone. Next was the Hiryu. Then a Bake Kitsune. While she was in the area she decided to go ahead and get the Oni, and Elite Ninja. Now for the two final enemies, the hardest of the bunch. The first of these was the Lady of the Snow. She was rather difficult, and no time was wasted leaving the area after she fell. And the final enemy was a Balron. She hunted him down with the help of Senator Piper.

Laurana met with Jin in Lord British's throne room and received her third task on the way to becoming a Praetorian. This time Jin handed her a bag while explaining that the Praetorians of old used to wear grandmaster crafted leather armor and a skullcap. That and a halberd were what was in the bag. Her task this time would be to use this equipment and again kill a list of different creatures. All but one of these creatures could be found in the land of Ilshenar. And the last could only be found in the lost lands of Felucca. With her new equipment in hand she set off for home to change and begin on the task. She set off for Compassion in Ilshenar in search of her first target, a paragon savage shamaness. With the Shamaness dead she could turn her attention to finding the paragon savage rider. After fighting many of the normal warriors a paragon finally showed up. With both of the paragon savages dispatched, it was time to find a Blackthorn Juggernaut. This task had proved fairly easy so far, but it was about to get harder. She fought her way up several floors and managed to find one, and guarantee that he would be alone. After the fall of the Juggernaut she went in search of the efreet. Unfortunatly, the first she found was a paragon. After attempting to avoid the fight, she was forced into it, but managed to defeat the efreet after a hard fought battle. After the efreet, the sand vortex seemed like a walk in the park. It was quickly dispatched. The next three creatures on the list; a gargoyle destroyer, exodus minion, and exodus overseer, could all be found in one place. She quickle set off in search of them. The first that she found was the gargoyle destroyer. Next she found the exodus overseer and exodus minion. She lured them out one at a time and defeated both quickly. The last creature on the list was the most powerful of the group, an ancient lich. The ancient lich could only be found in the far corner of Khaldun in Felucca's lost lands. After passing many of the inhabitants she found the ancient lich and slowly lured him back towards the entrance. After working her way back to the entrance with the angry lich following, she managed to engage him in combat. It was a difficult battle, and she came close to falling many times during the course of it, but finally emerged victorious.

After the festival Laurana was informed that Jin was looking for her. She found him in the dueling pit of Jhelom, and was given her next task. She was to kill several creatures using only the axe that Jin had given her. This task worried her, because she would not be allowed to use her shield and she was not used to fighting without it. She hefted the axe and repeated Jin's words to herself, "You must be adaptable"... she would prove that she was able to handle this challenge, and all the others he could come up with. She was not familiar with one of the creatures that Jin had specified, a Betrayer, so he took her to find one. After a lengthy battle she finally defeated it. She set off in search of her next creature, a blood elemental. She had killed many before, but never without a shield and wondered how well she would fare without it now. It did not prove too difficult. The next opponent was to be an Evil Mage Lord. "This should be easy" she said to herself as she set off for the island. Next was a Dragon, which was also rather easy for her to defeat once she managed to find one amongst the dead from other hunters. The White Wyrm managed to put up a fight before she managed to kill it. The Ogre Lord fell quickly to the axe. With these rather minor creatures out of the way, she could concentrate on the difficult ones. She started with the Lich Lord. After a long, and close, battle she managed to defeat him. Next she decided to go after the Devourer of Souls, since she was in the area where they were known to spawn anyway. This proved to be an even harder fight then she would have thought. Without the shield she was forced to lead him to a less populated area of the dungeon to kill him, and even then it proved a very difficult fight. (umm, insert picture here, I seem to have lost it somehow... probably while running for my life I forgot to take it :/) Next on the list was a Chaos Dragoon Elite, another creature she had never fought before. By now she was growing more confident in her ability to handle the axe, and barely missed her shield. She managed to find one of the Chaos Dragoon Elites near the city of Mistas, but he had a friend nearby, a paragon Juka Warrior. Luckily the Dragoon did not prove too difficult, and she was able to kill both with relative ease. Now for the true test, the last creature of the night she would face. A Skeletal Dragon. This proved to be the most challenging test she had encountered. She had to get it alone, without leaving any corpses nearby for the creature to animate. She finally managed to get him near the entrance to the cave he lived in, and slowly beat him down.

After a lengthy discussion with Jin and Shar'lee Laurana was given her first task on the road to becoming a Praetorian. She needed to escort Marcarious to the end of the dungeon of Destard. Marcarious was unarmored and depended solely on Laurana to protect him throughout the journey. There was little problem at the beginning of the journey, and they made it to the ankh. However, getting back out was a bit more complicated than getting in had been. There were several encounters with the inhabitants of the dungeon. Happily, the journey ended succesfully.

"It's about time to go" Thom said to himself as he finished packing his bags. He thought back over the last couple weeks and decided maybe a quick drink at Galehaven would be a nice start. He nodded to himself and called Nephrateri over to begin the journey. He arrived at Galehaven just after Daniel'le had opened it, and wasnt surprised to find Bill already enjoying a drink. Bill squinted up at him and invited him over for a few drinks. They sat quitely drinking while Daniel'le entertained them with her acrobatics. Just as he was about to leave Bill looked up and asked "Either o’ yer ‘ear ‘at?” Thom started to shake his head no when a huge explosion shook the tavern apart. He tried to get up off the floor as he realized he was laying in a mess of shattered glass and alcohol from the bar. The last thing he saw was Bill searching for Daniel'le through the wreckage.

Those quotes are pretty interesting, id be interested in how they manage to do that. As far as holding an ASH goes though, can it really hurt to try it? The most thats going to happen is it doesnt help any and you get the same stuff you would have originally.

Your going to take a bath before the party right? The ankh we can overlook as everyone is used to you being weird

Lets go with 22 on the 33rd Happy Birthday Charlie
