Ascend!

My favorite moments...

1) RwG's Camarilla
2) El Gulgotha on my Stygian, even if I did die.
3) These days, the alchemy/herbalism and even cooking systems have me addicted.

Brother Jones' declaration outside the Pissing Crone. The finest manifesto that EFU has ever seen, courtesy of Calculor.

[Staring Death]

Some of the details are hazy for me, but essentially it was something IC'ly planted by a chaotic Seeker PC played, I believe, by Panama Lane with the hope that such would re-inspire people to look for the surface.

As for the actual fate of Frederick Bresley....

Well.

:-)

Everyone knows Frederick Bresley slept in the New Arrival's Tower. The beds prove(d) it.

Heading out on a quest in the UD, Goigan Stenk "wished he had an ale to drink, then finding an ale in my pack.


Never know who is watching you.

Brother Jones sounds really awesome.

Roarin

That was an amazing PC. You probably have no idea how long a shadow you cast with that character.

[Knight Of Pentacles]

Helping release h'bala, hands down my most meaningful moment.

My moments playing Kyle Briar, tiefling cleric of Kelemvor, and forming the brother like relationship with Melrick of the Toboerski House. We developed such a close bond that it was literally heart breaking for both Meldread and me when Melrick was convinced he must convert Kyle or kill him.

In a dark and smoke filled cave Kyle denied his brother and cursed him with madness and death. Melrick unable to bare the weight of his brother Kyle's death had the devil or demon he worshipped charr the heart of Kyle Briar and bound his soul to it. Melrick was able to summon the shadow of Kyle and torment him daily with undeath (which DMs would regularly possess for Meldread).

What was even more beautiful that Kyle's death was the pivotal moment Melrick decended into madness and barred himself in the Toboerski estate and do some really fantastic and amazing evil shit. I was happy to push that plot along.

After a bit of thinking, two particular events stand out from the crowd of awesome that has been my EfU journey...

The first was a while after returning to the server after an absence of roughly five years during late EfU:A; I had just begun to set things into motion with Greyfell and his archaeological endeavours, and wasn't at all sure if I was doing stuff right or if I was just flailing in the metaphorical dark after such a long absence. Right then Hyrsicator Faussad, possessed by Talir, made a sending asking to meet Greyfell in the Mythallar chamber. Once there, Faussad asked Greyfell to tell him about one of his expeditions, and then praised him of his work. It felt so awesome to be given such a personal pat on the back by one of the great NPCs of the server, through one of the awesome DMs on the server; I walked around with a smile for days afterwards, and whenever I feel like I'm struggling here, I just think back to that moment and feel encouraged.

The second was back in the Underdark, waaay back. I was playing Humphrey, the goblin. What nobody knew about Humphrey was that he was the manservant to one of the slime cultist Drow that wcsherry had pulled together; Basically a group that terrorized the server for a long time.

This particular incident began when Humphrey's master was bothered by a certain Mr. Worn's Olde Stew Shoppe in lower Sanctuary. He thus gave Humphrey some rather potent poison, and asked him to go pour it into the stew cauldron. So, Humphrey snuck up from the sewers, stealthed over to the Stew Shop, snuck into the door, and approached the cauldron. Just as he was about to pour the poison into the cauldron, a voice rang out with something along the lines of "What the hell are you doing here, goblin?". It was Worn himself that had spotted Humphrey. I panicked totally, thinking for sure now I was going to be given a one-way ticket to goblin heaven. After a few seconds of desperate thinking, all I could come up with was the rather lame "Is just looking for job! Please don't hurt Humphrey!" in what I hoped to be a sign of frightened, puppy-eyed innocence. Imagine my surprise when instead of the butt-whopping I expected, Worn just went "Huh? Right, I suppose you can do the dishes." and threw me a towel. What followed was a most awesome double-life where I on one hand was the servant of a crazy Slime cultist, and on the other a dish boy at the local Stew shack. Eventually, I even ditched the slime crew for Worn and his amazing group, and had one of the most amazing times ever. Though it still took me weeks to dare confess about the slime association, even OOCly, heh. Major props to DangerousDan for that PC and place, seriously awesome stuff!

From a DM perspective: there were plenty of watershed moments for me, but the culmination of the Sewer Drow metaplot, and the flooding of Traensyr that ensued was one of my favorite quests to run. A lot of really intense fueding went on between the faction that few people got to see (sadly), including a very wild duel between its two most prominent cultist for the amusement of a very powerful lich.

As a player...

It's hard to say. The ultra competitive, secretive nature of the Spellguard was pretty excellent, even if my PC did end up as a failure.

[AfroMullet]

I enjoyed any moment were things were looking grim and everyone had to fight for their lives.

[AGOTFANBOI]

While I was playing Jubari, on a DM quest I was given the chance to be a hero, but perma in the process. It was probably the most epic thing I have done with a char on efu,efuA, or efuM.  JUbari, being Jubari, of course did it, and died. Bar none, the best ending I have ever had of a character, and to date, my most satisfying experience.

The other would be simply taking part in the end of EFUA on Leon Bross..that whole plot, and living thru it, will always be a top experience for me, in the bigger picture that make's up our server. It defined EPIC.

I've only seen the tiniest fraction of EfU, but --

When Sicily was beaten to a pulp and captured by the Order, and put on trial before de Villiers and Blackhearth. She was a pathetic, sniveling, sobbing wreck throughout the ordeal - partly an act, partly the truth - and ultimately somehow managed to avoid the pyre. In the end, her flesh was branded with hot irons.

I truly had no idea whether she would live or die, whether they would believe her or not, and nor did she.

Everything about that scene was fantastic: the suspense, the feeling of being on death row, the ambience of the area itself, the creepiness of the Order and of Agravain, the beautiful, realistic and human RP by the Ordersmen present and the subtle differences and dynamics between them, the length and seriousness of it, the effort and skill of the DMs, and just the concept of a 16-year-old girl facing the prospect of being burned alive for her crimes.

That scene made me in love with EfU. (And even now I would like to take the opportunity to thank the players and DMs involved in that occasion.)

EfU is at its best when it's at its most serious, mature and dark, and when grave and permanent consequences, like death and mutilation hang in the balance.

More maturity! More darkness!
