Navarra Zarya. Spuffisthin. Ellifain Grayleaf.

[derkot]

I decide to make one big post about my few characters what I had in EFU:R.
I am not native english speaker so there will be many grammar mistakes, sorry for that!

In my experience of EFU, I had three somewhat big and serious characters.
None of them was killed by other characters. Their stories all finished in events.

Other characters what I was playing but I do not think they was very important at all was:
Isidora Blackthorn, watcher monk
Aima Stameril, rogue from ooze team



My first character in EFU was Navarra Zarya.
Here is her dairy.

I didn't know many about EFU lore at all and so I made rashemi wizard who will try learn new things. Navarra somewhat nature theme character. She had strong memories of Rasheman culture and she spent all her life in nothern taiga and in heavy forests areas. Navarra was considering to join in Spellguard because it was looked like organization what may provide resourses for learning about Machine and more lore but then my wizard met with one druid. Druid showed canal and substance and was telling what great damage makes Machine and how Spellguard do not cares what happens with caves.

After that meeting, Navarra story was turned toward Nature Team and she ended in Stewards faction as Guard who gave oath.
Slowly Navarra was starting to find herself in conflicts with Spellguard and few agents was after her because she was assotiating herself with druids. With time Navarra become more sneaky and more alone. And in one time I was learning things about quests and such. I am even reached 9th level and took one level of cleric to represent deep roots of her Rashemi culture and faith in Chauntea.
Sadly Steward losed fight for Mycopolis and remaining members of Stewards had option to left faction or stay inside until things will happen. Navarra stayed inside.
After some time, Howlando let me finish story of Navarra Zarya.
And when Ark was captured by Spellguard, Navarra turned herself to tree in hope to remain alive and useful to Ark.

THE END.
Here is some mechanical things if someone interesting of course. She not had any interesting loot or items.

Since EFU:R ended, I can give some spoilers how ended story of Spuffisthin. Though for me it is still covered with few secrets and mysteries.
Here is diary of animal companion which was sadly later died.

And here is pictures what I liked to paint from time to time.

I sent application for myconid right after Ark faction was closed. Concept and goals of this characters was very simple. I was still somewhat new to EFU and I decided what make myconid druid is one easy way to explore caves of Underdark, to adjust myself to EFU better and work with myconid grove lair and sell of course myconid's goods.



It wasn't easy.
I was playing: (cute) monster race
I was playing: druid
This two things together makes game experience very different.  Life of myconid was very lonely but it wasn't big issue since I was continue to explore different places of Underdark, exploring wild life and watching at others from shadows. But time was going and my gameplay was turning to be super boring. I was starting to seek do some worthy druidic goals, try be important and remind what nature team still remains.
By brewing potions, my myconid started to spread influence and at some point I decided what best descision will be to join Ooze Team and try move plots in this faction.

One of first epic ooze plot was to rescue lost ooze in Nebezzdos, traveling to Ymph using THE WAY and traveling back.
It was hard, it was enduring, but we managed to do this. And my character ended as withered.  After long time and few small druidic events, Spuffisthin managed to find cure and heal this curse and then later Spuffisthin took part of event to protect elder ooze what can free enthralled minds.
We failed but Spuffisthin was trusted to keep remainings of this ooze to free from enthrallement someone later.
Time passed and Spuffisthin became some sort of "agent" but in Covenant. Though Spuffisthin never was asking or got any ooze-powers, Spuffisthin was still moving forward.

Another important event what happened with Spuffisthin, it was storming Traensyr. United with Exiles team, we was hoping to make great damage to Traensyr to help Six-Fingers with his plans and at some point, many was hoping what my myconid can attempt to free famous Kingsley.
My myconid as any other myconid of course was not trusting to anyone fully, myconid was wise and smart, Spuffisthin was trying to learn and understand nature of drows, nature of humans and other races. Myconid was forced to adapt and live together with remaining races.
At final of Traensyr event, my myconid used remainings of elder ooze to release Kingsley from thrall-slavery.
Why it happened? My myconid was long time thinking and talking what drows without Lloth should have second chance to be accepted by other races. What they can be not so evil. But because drows are elves, they take changes very long time and it was not enough long time to change their nature truely. And drows characters and NPCs not changed much after their spider queen went silence. And Spuffisthin decided what better give another chance to human general what can quickly change and understand things but not to ancient drow matron which probably will never be changed even with silence of their god.

Final big event was storming Mycopolis of course.
Spuffisthin very very very long time was trying push this plot but Covenant is very chaotical faction and it is really hard to organize such thing but at last we managed to gather our forces. And we managed to push away Spellguard forces from Mycopolis.
As reward, my myconid turned to Elder Form.

Things then was slow down a bit but my myconid was continued try sabotage work for Machine. Trying gather more forces and attracting more people to faction.
Of course Spellguard can't ignore long time such things and they gathered some large forces to storm Lower and catch few persons and among them was Spuffisthin.

Later Spuffisthin was moved to some strange building where agents was making experiments on myconids. But Spuffisthin was elder myconid! Very powerful druid. Spuffisthin managed to gather power of earth and break his prison and with help THE MAN IN THE MASK, he escaped his prison. The Man in the Mask shared some truth about Machine and about his plans what I do not wish say details since this things still can be very spoilering? I do not know.
But if speak in general, Spuffisthin Escaped from Uncertainty.


Here is screenshot with mechanical details.

Spuffisthin had one special ancient druidic helmet what was granting immunitites to turning to stone.
Other special item - it was spawning two tiny myconids.


Ellifain Grayleaf. Barbarian and always traveling elf.
This elf was created just after big ooze flood event. I wished to watch all epic events from my eyes from my character. So I made very simple character. Barbarian elf who was always traveling before and she now in Underdark wishes to see more and help to humans and other elves around.
There was not doing anything great and epic alone, not was moving any plots in this literal two weeks but she killed a lot of stuff, gained 10th level and managed to survive all epic events and see new sun.
I had few special barbarian elfy loots, like armor and shield.
Here is screen with mechanical details.

I do not mentioned names of other characters here because there was VERY VERY VERY many of them who was affecting stories of each character. It will be rude and unfair from me if I will start mention players and characters and I will forgive some.
So I wish just say HUGE THANKS to all EFU players and EFU DMs who was part of my EFU experience on this three characters.
Of course I will try think about new character and I will try to make it interesting enough too.

And here goes endless numbers of screens.

It was cool to see you change so much as a player. Keep on rocking

Spuffisthin was excellently done, I'm glad that they were around to represent the Myconid, and Grayleaf was really courageous. =]
