Phyx Ilyim is... [suspension]

[Apocryphal Misconceptions]

... dead. But what an amazing four months it has been.

It's getting late here, so I'm skipping most of the backstory for now. Phyx Ilyim -Ma'feyja-  was not actually a member of the Ma'feyja House. There was a rival enchanter who afflicted him with the delusion that he was of Ma'feyja's blood (which was a disgraced House, destroyed down to the last) in an attempt to have Phyx executed. Instead, it enabled the Ooze to make contact with him moments before the Great Ritual that was to be the end of Traensyr.

NukeCat -- thanks for bringing me some comfort IG when I was feeling disillusioned with Phyx's future. You helped me pull him through to play out the character, right into the hands of new fantastic cultists who gave me a much needed surge of energy.

Got some screenshots but unfortunately, I couldn't take screenshots before the Windows 10 update (or probably could, but failed to do so anyway) - and I tend to forget until the moment is over, haha. Here's what I'd like to share with you all though

 

The Ooze Cult at its pique

Who says that Drows don't have humor?

 

I recently had a spider in my room about this size, ask Magister, I emailed him a picture when he didn't believe me...
 

 

Phyx went through a period where he only spoke the language of the Ooze! Somehow, that ended when some people made a point about killing a certain good hearted djinn

Here they are, one last time... Phyx Ilyim and the Mouth of Phyx Ilyim. We both salute you. It has been great.




Thanks everyone and good night for now.

[granny]

I'm a fan of you. Always being a great sport, and making me have plans for you.

A shame you had to go before we were able to have more crazy meetings.

[Kinslayer988]

Loved meeting this guy and seeing all of the interesting things this drow fellow did. Drows have always been a favorite of mine to see people RP because of their rather grandiose natures.

[Skullmageddon]

A shame I only met up with Phyx a few days before his end, if we'd have joined up earlier I feel like we could've had a ton of fun together. Alas!

Hopefully we'll have better luck with our next PCs, see you on the next one you crazy oozer.

Kick-ass ApocMisc.

To continue my trend of posting evidence of Hlahlisessil's spying in obits:
[hide=edited transcript]Phyx Ilyim: Glorious, another has come to help feed the Ooze?!
Caine Lugus: What you looking at bud? Ooze? I ain't feedin' nothing but myself.
Phyx Ilyim: Are you not a man of the lower dredges?
Caine Lugus: Who ye be anyway? Aye I be of lower now, I guess.
Phyx Ilyim: I am one of the Ooze's communion.
Caine Lugus: Ye so? Don't give a care for any ooze. Bloody anoying things if ye ask me.
Phyx Ilyim: [Carefully opens a jar filled with a glob of ooze, and plasters it to the sewer walls.] We have a vision of a unified lower, in order to stand in full defense against that escaped into the cells of the old slave city. However, in order to reach such might, the Ooze must feed.
Caine Lugus: Eh what were that? Best not be playing any tricks now. I ain't feeding no ooze, or joining no ooze.
Phyx Ilyim: The weave's vibrations, conjurative magic if I felt it right.
Caine Lugus: Go preach elsewhere eh? Less ye come for trouble and I be happy to oblige.
Phyx Ilyim: Why not? I am not asking you to surrender your soul to a foul demon. All that I ask, is a hand that works in union with ours.
Caine Lugus: I told ye I don't care about no ooze.
Phyx Ilyim: What then /do/ you care about?
Caine Lugus: I care about me. En keeping my head on my shoulders.
Festryn Wosen: Greetings, Brother.
Phyx Ilyim: Hello. [Quivers, lifting an oozing finger at Caine.] A friend of yours?
Festryn Wosen: [his head turns slowly torward Caine] He is unknown... Though God see's him, yes, he crawls throug His domain..
Phyx Ilyim: I care about you also. I care about all those in these lower dredges, who have forgotten what it is like to be in the greater care of benefactors. You must have your reasons not to live in the slave's ken above....?
Caine Lugus: I go where I please, just be convenient to be here for now. Until better oppertunities come along.
Festryn Wosen: The greatest one, stands before you..
Caine Lugus: But that don't mean I want to hang down here with you sewer lovers.
Festryn Wosen: The path of salvation, yes..
Caine Lugus: Stinks like shit.
Phyx Ilyim: This is temporary.
Festryn Wosen: Yes, the tide rises..
Festryn Wosen: Good, that you should rise with it, lost one..
Phyx Ilyim: [Nods, agreed with Wosen.] This is our path to salvation, and the tide of Ooze rises. We are not inane, blabbermouthed idiots. We have a clear, defined purpose.
Festryn Wosen: Come, look upon the children of God, see your salvation in His glory..
Phyx Ilyim: And all true lower dredges have a place with us.
Caine Lugus: When the tide rises its not the Ooze ye wana be revering, the bitch would 'ave something to say about that.
Jhulae Duskryn: [A quiet clearing of her throat as she regards Lugus.]
Caine Lugus: Ye multiplying.
Festryn Wosen: She will bend the knee before God, she will know peace, yes.. /all/ shall know peace.
Caine Lugus: [He grips his axes tight] Hah, ye pissin' lunatics ye are.
Jhulae Duskryn: The nature of the Source, yes...you are a companion to this false-priestess, then?
Phyx Ilyim: You /know/ that the Ooze sense prey by tremor, I expect. If you try to run, they shall still find you. So, stay and talk to us.
Caine Lugus: Priestess? Don't know any priestess.
Jhulae Duskryn: [She cocks her head to the side, her voice somewhat muffled by her helm. Her robes leak a viscous green fluid.]
Phyx Ilyim: What are you, a Priest of the Bitch yourself? So uncouth...
Festryn Wosen: We do not seek conflict, we seek Peace, yes.. The conflict is within you, you must look upon the Child of God and be saved.
Caine Lugus: Aye? Well piss off en. Get out my way eh? Not interested.
Jhulae Duskryn: You are wary. Anxious. You need not be- so long as you spread such erroneous teachings as this priestess of the 'Bitch', does.
Caine Lugus: [He seems wary the odd glance back]
Phyx Ilyim: Come, and oblige us at least. We can show you a different method, a different tide. An /oozing/ tide, to rise from the squalor.
Caine Lugus: I'm not going to say it again, sewer lovers, get out the way or i'm cutting ye down.
Phyx Ilyim: If you wish to try your temper against a flood of Ooze to see which prevails, none of us will stop you.
Jhulae Duskryn: [She sucks her teeth, her voice regretful.] We are a peaceful people, and yet your mind is closed.
Festryn Wosen: Force is not needed, we do not block the way, we show the way, yes..
Caine Lugus: Well now. [He looks over behind Phyx] Looks like we got some more company eh?
Jhulae Duskryn: One, perhaps, more willing to listen.
Phyx Ilyim: Join by his side, then. It is so difficult to speak to you both at once.
Caine Lugus: Bunch of ooze worshippin' gits Hackett. They want to show us the way, ehe.
Phyx Ilyim: You are of the fal- of the clergy of the Bitch?
Caine Lugus: I got a better idea. I plant my axes so far up ye gut you be spewin' ooze out ye eye sockets. Hows that sound?
Jhulae Duskryn: [Her eyes flit towards Hackett in the gloom, and narrow.]
Festryn Wosen: [he bows his head]
Phyx Ilyim: What do you think, Priestess?
Jhulae Duskryn: Kill them, kill them all![/hide]

[bobofwestoregonusa]

This character was awesome, and he scared the crap out of Ordvuul! Ordvuul's beard will never come back to him now.

[GoD1x]

Thouroughly enjoyed the far too few encounters I had with Phyx!

[Haer Dalis 83]

What to say? Great both IC and OOC, and that's not easy to find. Without him, playing would not have been the same.

[Diz-e]

Really cool character! I liked the slobbering and having to speak through his familiar, nice touch. A shame we never got to complete our IC arrangement.

But I'm sorry to tell you - the plural of "drow" is "drow".

[Zlatonka_Goldie]

My dear! :D I would never guessed that Phyx Ilyim was a drow! :D Nicely played and the history is gently made too *thumbs up*.
BTW You really scared the hell out of me the other day :D I was really ready to fire the arrow.. but I get the impression that it would be me who would die :D

[putrid_plum]

Greatness what else would I expect from you old friend!!!!  I'm even in your shots!

[Gregor Stormborn]

It was fun encountering you all in Lower and joining you all. Especially because it just happened circumstantially, I never planned to worship an Ooze lol. Yet I'm glad I did.

[Pentaxius]

Great run. Not many monsters get to grow a reputation, but Phyx surely had one. Props for playing such antagonist and leading to a revival of the cult.

[The Old Hack]

Phyx was a class act, a great, great villain. Thank you for creating him!
