Well, along with all the of the rest of the Conclave, Pharaxes and Khrym have finally bitten it after six long months.  Seeing as they did pretty much everything together it seems appropriate to feature both of them here, I expect he will put up some screenshots in the future.

A little history:

Pharaxes was one of a long line of wealthy slave owners born into the Thayan capital of Eltabbar, highly intelligent, talented with transmutation and a shrewd businessman he continued to make vast sums of money in his youth.  However, his true passion was the application of transmutation upon living subjects in conjunction with his skills as a physician.  

As he grew older he came to the "realisation" that in fact disease and sickness were the greatness enemies of humanity.  A firm believer in doctrines of Kossuth. He interpreted the dogma of his God to mean that humanity was essentially a weak and unfinished race and took it as his duty to spend his remaining years working on a way to "Purify" his fellow man and in doing so develop an effective way to guard his own aging body from the ravages of plague or infection.

From the start it was always my intention to research the larvals, largely because so little attention had ever been diverted towards them.  Seeing these as the perfect race to model his "New human" on, Pharaxes spent a great deal of time attempting to find a way to incorporate the immunities and powers of the larvals into human subjects, whilst retaining their minds.  

I feel like I achieved pretty much everything I set out to do on this character (Except reaching Hyriscator, but you can't win it all!).  Along the way we made a lot of unlikely allies and probably even more enemies.  As ever I'd like to give a big thanks to the DM team, particularly Howland for all the awesome end events and ShadowCharlatan for spending so much time helping me with my plots.  To my fellow players, you are all awesome, continue to be so.

And now for the bit you probably want to see, the screenshots in no particular order.  (Be warned, I've slimmed it down from 500 odd but there's still a lot!)

Strange encounters with the mist...





Humble beginnings...



Yes, we were always insufferable, insulting jerks to each others.



Necessary sacrifices for the greater good!



Though the experiment didn't -quite- go to plan...



Shepherding apprentices, they were an argumentative bunch.



Talking the to the Hivemind, somewhat intimidating.



Talks broke down when infection was proposed... Things went rapidly downhill.



Looking pretty sinister.



Everyone really did hate Thesk, especially me.



Swaggle deciding we need to practice in case of a slaadi invasion!



The end of Swaggle, RIP.  



The Gate of Porenius Herasus.



A dragon made of obsidian, we were bricking it.



Being chased by large, angry things became something of a recurring theme.



My brief stint at level 11, transmutation has it's perks!



Final transformations, my work is done!





One of my pieces of loot, the rest of the descriptions didn't save along with some other shots sadly.



Elminster showing up to save the day, and failing miserably.  No RIP for you.



More explosions and lights than a Michael Bay film.



Sit down Morv.




AND FINALLY... In the end it was all worth it, even in death Pharaxes and Khrym achieved what they set out to do.  ESCAPE FROM UNDEATH!


The Old Hack

I had most of my interactions with this pair as naïve little Briar. She respected both of them even as she feared the consequences of their path, but she was far too aware of her humble status to wish to make any uninvited comments!

Fantastic pair. Great work, guys :)

Howlando


Pentaxius

An awesome pair.

Those two inspired fear in my heart, more than any other PC's I've met since I joined EFU. They carried the might of the conclave.

SanTelmo

Good stuff you both! I really enjoyed the conversation with Vaszir on the third floor.
"EFU is a romance server now" -Vlaid

"Some people just gotta be killed" -Gip

The Man In The Mist

Escaped From....UNDEATH

granny

they were most important at Mriri's story...
as they were the ones that kept her locked inside the Conclave while Kali-Ma messed up with the world...

I only had time to hate them, hehehe.

GOOD JOB.

Milo_Rumplinski

Brilliant stuff, was a pleasure to be in the faction with you guys.

Talir

Not even a mention...

One of my favorite Conclave couplings by far, always a pleasure to DM to the pair of you. Incredible strength of concept and personalization, with ambitious goals.

And of course a somewhat belated but huge thanks to Talir for infecting me with a deadly plague and all the craziness that came of it. <3

Aethereal

Hardly saw you two, though that sure looks like an awesome journey.
