Caraz "the Blue"

[zDark Shadowz]

Heya. It was fun. I had an awesome time.

Caraz Rasharn was my attempt at bundling up all the fun I had on other characters into one. Figuring out how to make new alchemy recipes to DC 5, I had originally just planned to get some random war paints and single-use ioun stones to make up for the fact he was a chain-wearing barbarian and then he ended up making those gems. Even when alchemy was disabled, it got re-enabled for 2 darks under new recipes and I still managed to figure my way back to them and reloaded on them, so his signature smashing-light he'd stumbled on stayed strong until the end of his career, which was kind of funny since I had also picked Lathander as a deity. He was literally bringing light into the dark places.

I made Caraz just to have fun, and that was it. No big stories, plots, or anything. I wanted a character that I could throw on the front lines and just do amazingly heroic, crazy things, and although I didn't get to do as many things as I would like, I did get to do some stuff, and that stuff was cool.

From smashing apart a confined room of Greater Wererats summoning more and more spellcasting rats, to breaking his limits as a level 8 and duelling that half-orc dragon hunter in the arena of SanTelmo and earning a suit of armour that I'd seen that "suited" Caraz to a "T", turning into a fleshy skeletal abomination when surrounded by way too many illusionist clowns... which brings me to my next... that bloody clown, lol... surviving the onslaught of seven or eight players at once for a good 30+ seconds at least.

At first I thought I could take you all when I saw four, and then five, and then seven... and then I thought - hum, I can't keep track of this many, maybe I will be in trouble...

Honestly, I was just like you all wondering why the hell I wasn't going down. With all the flashing lights and failed combusts against a protection of fire potion I was sitting there clicking different potions and then realised - wait, my character won't drink anymore. *Zooms in* Oh. I'm stunned by something. Ugh. *Twenty seconds later* Why the hell am I not dead yet? They're still attacking me? Is it done yet? No? Yes?

I couldn't do anything but you guys sure gave me one hell of a fireworks show, I was laughing my ass off. Everyone was a good sport about it heh, never really felt like you're wanted until you've got a literal army doing their best to try put you down.

So - Screenshots. Didn't take many cause I was having issues with saving new screenies, but here they are.

Alchemy disabled so I sold off my alchemy gear after a particularly profitable venture, and off to buy my Ring of Final Sanctuary!





Above - The Scales of the Blue Wyrm.  SanTelmo, this armour I saw sitting there I was like OMFG ANOTHER BLUE ARMOR... but I need it!

Seriously, I felt that suit was a perfectly balanced suit of armour for this server. It just helped me out so much without being totally OP.

Below - One does not simply walk into the lair of Ormulax...



Captives and Capturers. I hadn't realised I missed the clown in the shot.. Argh. *Shakes ghostly fist at him*



My stats at level 9. I do confess I rolled level 4 and 5 over and over to get max HP, but all the rest was crazy luck. 132/135 Max HP. I loved every moment of it.



Ah, the illusions. It's good to get out and about and your feet muddy for a bit. I actually found walking through these illusions rather peaceful and relaxing, especially this one with the ambience. Whoever did this spot really outdid themselves.



Staring at the burned ruins of some castle. That's Jaron down there by the way, he was cool, not sure what happened but this made for a good screenshot. Still missing you my late-night wilderness buddy.



And that's that. Yeah, it was awesome. You guys made it so.

So many fun "It's late, no one is around, let's have us a chat" style moments.

it was great to see a real adventurer's adventurer, getting out there and doing crazy things just for the sake of the crazy.

[MessengerGirl]

A cool dude, and it was pretty amazing what he managed to do!

[Kinslayer988]

Good aventurer. I never paid you for the numinous gems...

[Wench]

A true testament of "The wrong place at the wrong time."

Always love your PCs, wish we could have interacted more!

Also nice screenshots! :3

[Charnelist]

Oh, hey, I'm in one of those shots!
...... Eh, nevermind, seems you couldn't see me.
=(

A fun guy to have around the server, and our last fight lead to one of the most fun events I've had on EfU. Thanks for being you!

Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[CaptLars]

A great ally and eventually enemy, you stayed classy until the end when a lot of players wouldn't have. I was sad when we lost you as an ally and will drink a sour ale to your memory.

THAT HORRIBLE CLOWN
