That cranky old man.

Pentaxius

QuoteSo it is at last, the coot has met his end. Not without making a few sparks! I enjoyed my EFU break greatly this year, and I'm in debt to all of this wonderful community to whom I owe these blissful moments of EFU grandiosity.

My plan with Albrecht was to explore a facet of lawful good inspired from medieval theology, namely Puritanism. As a devout of Siamorphe, his main goal was to restore nobility and their cronies to power in Sanctuary. I'm happy to say it was a blast in creating these bittersweet enmities with a vast portion of the Sanctuarian populace! It was a joy to log in and just be that old coot, striding in the square and hurling his discontent at the first man he saw. Joy in EFU comes with the little things, these little snippets of interactions that push you ever closer towards these broader, ever-elusive goals.

He had a big heart for high-borns who lost their stations...



He stood for petty nobility, and would run for Director.



He hunted the wicked.



He was awarded a few medals



He burned smut novels, but it backfired as publicity



He exorcisde the haunted



Visited by an angel, he was granted the charge of Siamorphe's most sacred relic



He anointed nobility and ensured they were treated as they deserved



He visited dark, forgotten places



But was always well surrounded.



He banished ancient demons



And persecuted idolaters



His first court hearing as Prefect



Between two mortal foes



He crusaded into the dark



He partook in fairy tales, suffering the whims of a little girl's imagination...



Becoming the tiny wizard in pink, what indignation.



He had a date with the herald.



He found a chair he thought was fit for him.



He met really cold people...



He bullied half-orcs.



He met a boy called Nihm



He fought the dread master.



And another tentacle shot.



He was angered by a certain Djini



Bound him to his lamp, and raided the damn place.



He fought a siege in the Lowerdark.



He had real friends, ready to stand for him when bullied by the malcontents



But also had insidious foes...



He lost his order's most sacred relic to a particularly wicked giant.



First, he tried to find penance.



Then, he tried to seek justice



But some things you have to do yourself



Go big or go home.



Siamorphe doesn't forgive failures.



But others do...

Awesome character man, loved how you stuck to your guns no matter what. Enjoyed our rivalry...you crazy old coot :)

Iserlohn Fortress

A fantastic and consistently well-characterized PC. Well done.

I rather enjoyed just about every moment I spent around this guy. If there was anyone I could count on to bully Nelly about her stutter, it was your character.

A+++ cranky grandpa

I have to applaud you, Pent, for your amazing portrayal of Vauclair. He was an incredibly unpleasant man even to his closest allies, and often pushed conflict in weird and uncomfortable fashions. You had tremendous balls in the way you chose to represent his unorthodox form of morality.

Here's a screenshot I took of his duel with Magnatz, at the very start.

A final reminder of how the old coot refused to back down, even when it was clearly a terrible idea.

This was a great PC. By far one of my favorites that EfU had to offer. Rest in pineapples, old man.

Why is he well surrounded by naked knight?

He was the kind of character who when you interacted with him, you rarely knew how he was going to react to certain information or ideals. It was always interesting to see the fine line some characters walked while others took a stark and immediate opposition! I did enjoy the interplay between our PCs, Celia was likely one of the few characters not to piss him off on a regular basis, oddly enough.
