My notes are ruined! I was attacked last eve by band of spell casting vampires. One of which was kind enough to center a fireball on my face! Oh well, I shall commit the rest of my notes from memory into one entry.
I remained in and around Hlint in my early months. As a matter of fact I avoided going far from Hlint until recently. I found myself fascinated with the undead and studying them. With Hlint having what they called "problems" in the crypts I was able to marvel in my easy access of specimens to study.
I made a name for myself in the Hlint bartering my goods and occasionally venturing off to Lelion, Port Hope, and Hampshire to trade in the local markets. Mothkar was a devout, I say was because I have not seen him in some time, follower of Pyrtechon. I learned a good bit from him and rather respect the beliefs and goals of Pyrtechon. However misguided those beliefs may be, I have to admit the means to the end has good merit. If anything it would be a most entertaining spectacal to see. Otherwise Pyrtechon seems to lack patience.
I believe the last time I saw Mothkar was when the town of Hlint turned on me... I was almost lynched in town square of a matter I had nothing to do with. Sure I didn't try to stop the evil necromancer from raising the dead and attacking the town...sure I was even interested in his work and inquired into it. I however did not do the things I was accused of. Either way it was made clear I should take a small vacation. So I did just that. I went back underground but I can not seem to find a way that will take me to the routes I need to return home. I eventually gave up for now and returned.
People have forgotten how they tried to burn me, but I did not. I think perhaps vengeance on Hlint shall be one of my first long term goals upon returning. I have not figured out my plan of attack, but I am thinking perhaps I can succeed where the necromancer failed. Which brings me to my new found companions if you will and current studies.
Outside of Hlint I met a female cleric of Corath. She goes by the name Myrena. She has promise and ambition in her dark heart. Her ways are sinister, deceitful, pompous, and almost Drow like. Yes, I like this one. I shall make good use of her. Oh and did I mention she seems to detest elves almost as much as me? Yes she is a keeper. More importantly she has introduced me to a very powerful High Priestess of Croath. This is one human I would dare not cross unless I were sure I could finish the job and gain more than I would stand too lose. Even if I were to kill her I feel she is favored enough by Corath that her soul would rise up immediantly to seek revenge. No I will stay clear of this one for now and do my best to be on her useful side. Besides she amuses me so. The High Priestess is such a piece of work. She beats those below her with a whip and she has shared some wealth with me. I have decided she is better an ally than enemy. Were she a Drow she would be worthy to sit at my dinner table, such a shame she was born a lesser race. Oh well, we can't all be perfect.
I have diligently dedicated my spare time to the study of Necromancy. Which is another reason I shall remain in company with the Corath followers. The High Priestess has a mage whom she commands. A Necromancer I believe to be of some power. I am not sure of the extent of this Necromancer's knowledge of the Arcane, but I have agreed to tutor under her. We struck this deal just last eve.
If this necromancer has fooled me and is nothing more than an illusionist, I will take pleasure in burning her black heart from her chest and feeding it to my Familiar. That is neither here nor there because she does amuse me I might add. This necromancer also is rather skilled in the art of scribing and I could learn a thing or two from her.

I think the best way to fit into the surface will be as a merchant. It seems drow walk the surface here, but they are hardly drow. They a pathetic tanned skinned elves at best. I am taking up my old hobby of enchanting and crafting fine jewlery so that I can barter my wares and earn the trust of these locals. All of which are merely a front to gather information I need and to earn the trust of fools willing to lay their lives on the line for a nice smile and a discount on a magic ring.
I will start my trading outside and around Hlint. I am currently in search of allies, ones whom are reliable enough to stand next to me in battle. There are few among the surface who follow Baraeon Da'Cuz thus I have saught followers of Corath and Pyrtechon.

In my first week here in Hlint I made an alliance in a half giant named Mothkar and a goblin named Skatch. You may wonder why I would ally with such pathetic lesser races? The answer is simple, they are far more superior to the pathetic Drow I have run into thus far on the surface. These Drow forget where they came from and who they are. They are pathetic and I hold them in same regards as I hold an elf. May the Prince of Hate lay vengence upon them like no other.

I have become attached to this strange surface world, even though I long to return home. I often wonder if I were tricked into leaving my home by my brother, Meklithane. I ponder constantly on whether my house was destoryed as my informants warned me, or whether my brother simply lacked the ambition to remove me by his own hand. When I think on this I believe my bother lacked the brains to trick me and I know I could always measure his ambition with my right ring finger.
What Meklithane did posses however was the knowledge of me and how I would let my family burn in a second to save my own skin. So no, even if House Del'mar is still striving, my brother did not trick me. I tricked myself.
My first day on the surface was indeed one of my most painful. Books have spoken of the sun but none prepared me for the pain. The pain was excruciating. Without my sight I felt puny and defenseless. I remember trying to shield my eyes from the horrible blinding death, which at the time I could only imagine it to be the cursed Sun.
I remember hearing laughter in the back of my mind in those first few moments. At first I wasn't sure if the laughter was coming from the Drow, who by nature had double crossed me, or if I were laughing at myself for being so stupid to trust a Drow. Never trust a Drow. Rule number one. This lead me to ponder if I had actually seduced that female, or if she had played me a fool. Either way, I could not see a thing and knew I had to get out of the wretched sun before it burned my eyes from their very sockets. Then I heard a another voice booming in my head drowning out the laughter. The voice was crude and heavily accented. I was barely able mark where it was comin from much less understand it with the pain shooting through from my eyes into the back of my sull. I eventually recognized the language spoken to be one of the lesser surface races a language known as common.
"Don't see many of your kind around here little one. Friend or foe? You only get one answer", came the crude voice from a distance of about five feet above me.
Taking note of my predicament, but unable to not state the obvious, "In my state, even if I were a foe, I'd hardly be an adequate one. Wouldn't you say... oh how did you put it so eloquently... big one?"
"That didn't answer my question", came the voice again. I was beyond frustrated and beginning to think the portal had completely disoriented my sense of up and down. I was certain that I sensed the creature speaking standing directly infront of me, yet his voice seemed to come from above, as if the creature were about 10 feet tall.
Trying my best to see through the blazing light so that I might make out who I was speaking too and at the same time having trouble using a word for the very first time in my life, a word I am still not sure I understand the true meaning of, I replied, "Friend".
"Well good enough for now, we'll have to see about that, but good enough. Now you seem to be having a difficult time seeing and I'm guessing you just arrived seeing how you weren't standing there a few seconds ago. Why don't you come over here where there is a bit of shade, oh and let me be the first to welcome you too these parts of Mistone. I am Mothkar, Mothkar the Cunning in some parts..."
I remember being in such a fit of rage that I actually frothed from the mouth. Barely able to control my anger I stumbled for the words, WWhere do you say?"
"Mistone, welcome to Mistone is what I said..." came that voice gain.
My first moments on the surface were painful and extremely mind numbing. I found myself close to a human town named Hlint. I quickly made some allies with the lesser races and attempted to make sense of what had happened to me. The wench I had bed told me that my family was under attack. I took her advice and learned from my brother Meklithane that our house was indeed under attack. Meklithane said he was going to make an alliance with a small guild of houseless males and I never saw him again. I chose to call in every favor I had and flee to another city. The city was meant to be one in the underdark, but instead the portal I stepped into took me to surface. If I ever find the drow who betrayed me, I will thank him as I skin him and feed him to my familiar.

Instead use the following when doing a direct connect to the game servers:
west.layonara.com (what is now 64.127.106.68—will not work any longer)
central.layonara.com (what is now 64.127.106.69—will not work any longer)
east.layonara.com (what is now 64.127.106.70—will not work any longer)
planes.layonara.com (soon to come)
quest.layonara.com (we will use this server for some quests from time to time)
================
I am confused. I have searched and searched. I can not find what the new IP address is. I have been away for some time and wanted to come back and play. I always connected via direct connect. Can someone please PM and help me with what the new IP address is I type in since it says about the one I used wont' work anymore.

I really miss this community and all of you. I always think about this game, the friends, the people and the time I spent here with all of you. I really wish things had turned out different and I could have stuck around playing on a more regular schedule. I forgive all the issues and differences people may have had with me and my RP style, all though I didn't really have any issues nor did I hold a grudge myself! =)
I hope some of the old names are out there to remember me, so that this doesn't look like some random wacky post, which will go unnoticed.
Love, Peace, & Hair Grease!

I have been asked by a lot of people to please come back over the last year. I am considering it. Recently I even received a txt and call. Thank you for the conversation and kind words. I have been asked to air a few things and this post finally made me do it... http://forums.layonara.com/roleplaying/278422-wl-frustrated-options-offered.htmlI know exactly what pimbmendan means. I miss this server and the friends I made here deeply. I miss the effects and consequences someone's actions had, both positive and negative. The ever evolving world of Layonara has always been amazing and kept so many playing coming back throughout the years. I played from 2003 to 2010. For 7 years I enjoyed Layonara and cherished all the time I put in. Even more importantly I cherish the time others put in to make the world so special. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for the staff and the players. I have always tried to show that respect and appreciation to everyone here through both my in game and out of game actions. However, it feels like my efforts meant absolutely nothing when it came time for my WL attempt. My WL quest is one of the single most botched things I have ever seen happen by the Staff in 7 years. I was failed before ever being given a chance. My WL quest was shelved for almost 2 years and once it eventually started, it then took almost a year to run the quest. It took so long to get the WL quest running, that the people who would have played in it a year prior, were simply no longer active. I couldn't find evil PCs out there anymore, ESPECIALLY dark elves. I had to relay on PCs ranging from levels 7-15 for a WL quest, because that is all we had to work with. Now this is not the staffs fault, nor is it anyone's fault. However this should have been taken into consideration when running a Dark Elf WL quest. Rather than throwing insane amounts of purple instant kills at the low level party. I was told that the level of the party would be taken into consideration. Few know that I was actually failed at the start of the quest, due to a misunderstanding. I thought we were in a time bubble and not supposed to be active in game. Thank you Dorg for helping handle that situation as a mediator of sorts and making it possible to continue from that point. I however feel I was failed from there. Perception. Layo staff, you got that one wrong and nothing was ever done to even come close to trying to resolve it. I know it may sound like I'm faulting the failure of the WL, but I am not trying to. I fault the failed attempt to fix the botch. I also feel the staff has done so many things right, i guess they deserve a free pass on my WL =) This has torn at me in many ways and I have simply avoided talking about it or coming here to explain. I didn't want to seem ungrateful for the approval and time put into my WL. I knew failure could be an option and I would have loved another shot at the WL quest knowing I could fail. I was just honored to be considered and accepted for the WL. As a player, it meant everything. It represented the 7 years I put into Layonara. Seven years is a long time to put into something. However, as Pibmanden said, where are the consequences? I fully expect big results from the success of a WL...but absolutely nothing for the failed attempt? The only consequences for my PC's actions during the WL quest are the ooc administrative failed results. I should have listened to everyone who warned me. So many told me that I would fail my quest because I would run out of time. Even DMs warned me from the start. I should have stayed with the first DM who took my WL and waited my turn behind Jenara. After all I waited almost a year behind Jenara before I found another DM. I knew how Rowana ran her quests and what to expect from them. I had never been on a quest ran by Minerva where I was an actually part of the quest. Minerva, despite the way this quest was handled and the way I was treated in the end, or should I say not treated...={ I still appreciate all the time and effort you put in. You stepped up to the plate when no one else had time. You tried the best you could and I saw that and appreciated it. I take full responsibility for not having gone on any of your regular quests prior to selecting you to run my WL quest. I learned a lot from that quest, both good and bad. For your time and hard work, thank you. I never wanted any kind of hand out. I also do not feel entitled at all. I have always felt that my entitlements (if you want to call them that) came in the form of the enjoyment of playing the game with great friends and seeing the results of those actions throughout the world of Layonara. I miss you guys and I am sorry if this offends anyone in anyway. It is how I saw the events unfold. I miss Layonara, I miss you, and I hope I have not been forgotten. Thank you, Geo a.k.a.

I have been in meetings all day but I wanted to make this post all day. I wanted to thank all of our members who have served in the armed forces here in layo for their time and duty to our country in the US.
A shout goes out to the wives and husbands of Veterans as well. You do a lot in the back ground for us during our time away from home. We love you and thank you, even if we don't say it enough.

I can not figure out what exactly this feat does. When I go to pick it when I level it says... Type of Feat: Class Prerequisite: Wildshape Specifics: The character with this ability can take shape of an animal at will. It may be used twice per day. Use: Selected. After choosing the ability, the character must choose an animal form to take. When I go to Lore it says: LORE: Advanced Wildshape"This page is a stub for the Druid feat Advanced Wildshape" So there isn't a real description that I an find on LORE for this feat either. When I try to level up and select it, it doesn't give me the choice of picking an animal as the form. I assumed that "by will" might mean you can shift as a free action, but again it doesn't say that or make it clear. Thanks for the help, I am holding off form leveling until i figure out what this feat does.
