Title: A Cautionary Tale
Post by: gilshem ironstone on April 20, 2010, 02:08:52 AM: I humbly offer up my character Gel'larian as a cautionary tale to low-level players that think the Soul Mother won't get them. I am level 9, and I just lost my 5th strand.

I wonder if anyone can top that. If so, please tell me your tale of extreme bad luck so that we can enjoy the view from the bottom together.

When did I ever wear a leather jacket? And I will have you know one of my co-workers tonight told me that she would never kiss me. There goes the movie star good looks idea.

The nerve.

Here are my three PC's and their respective DT's:

-Gel'larian: 72 deaths, 5 DT's (Actually right about where he should be)

-Tristan: 50 deaths, 0 DT's (Pretty startling, I guess Lucinda is looking out for him.)

-Gilshem: 23 deaths, 0 DT's (Dwarves don't die... ever...)
