Development Journals and Discussion / Letters home - Alassir Vil'Drazzic

**How it began.... or at least a place to start our story**

Dearest Carolina,

I beg you please, do not throw this letter away, or stop reading it until you have heard what I have to say.  All I am asking for is a chance to tell my side of what happened, and I implore you to give that to me dear heart.  By now I am sure you have heard all of what happened whilst you were out on patrol, but how twisted it has been, that I cannot tell, so I must speak of it, you may then weigh it and decide which is the correct version of events.

It was never my intention to kill Wilhelm, nor even in fact to fight him again, despite what was said following our last duel where he scarred my face.  You know me well enough by now to know that revenge for that was never something that I would seek, unjustified vengeance is wrong, and I am man enough to admit that he had beaten me fairly that time.   Carolina, he would not stop the fight, even now I burn with the memory of it, but I had to protect myself, and now my cousin is dead because of me. What else could I have done though?  I keep asking myself this, replaying what happened, but there is no other way that I see.

**  Now dear reader, I suspect that you may fear that our intrepid hero is giving in to sorrow and melancholy.  But fear not... I your ever present narrator have a secret to share, that will restore your hope for our friend.  Alassir, poor lad, coming as he does from a remote clan, cut off from the outside world has had a rather meager literary background, consisting mainly of some rather questionable Mistonian epic hero sagas, and some old romance novels, that could be best described as err.. "bodice rippers".  So with only this to base his writing style upon, I think you'll agree he's actually doing rather well... anyway, we digress do we not?  Back to the letter.... **

Wilhelm and I fought, this much is true, the reason, well if I be honest with you, it was our pride which brought us to it, you know only too well the fire with which we used to compete with one another, and so we fought again, at first for love of the test.  This time I had the better day, and had the victory... Wilhelm was never one to accept defeat, as well you know.. and so he cast aside the practice foils we had used and came at me with his sword.  The rest you know already, and his death shall be my burden to bear, and I would not pass any of it on to you.

**Goodness me but he's a noble and self suffering sort isn't he?  See I told you, those Mistonian hero sagas... enough said dear friends, enough said.**

Carolina, I place my life in your hands with this, should you wish to reach me, I am to be found at the temple of Rofirein in Vehl.  I am sure that uncle Dragnar would be most keen to find me, and I would not deny him the satisfaction of revenge for his son, so if you want to tell him, I  would not blame you, in fact there are times when it almost seems a better fate than living with this shame.  As I say, my life is in your hands now.

Forum Discussion / Posting conundrums
« on: February 02, 2008, 01:04:51 pm »
I've been trying to post the start of a character journal, which I wrote in MS Word and copy over into the post, but each time I try, the post gets cut off part way through.  Anyideas why this keeps happening?  I'm thinking I should copy it over and write it all out again, or maybe try it using a different web browser (something other than IE).. but I'm open to any suggestions.

Fixed Bugs / Missing furniture at the Twin Dragons Inn
« on: October 02, 2007, 07:46:43 pm »
When I logged in today, all the furniture placeables in Lareth's room (2nd Room up from the south end of the East hallway)  at the Twin Dragon inn were missing - 4 Chests, Bed, Couch and I'm guessing all the contents.

I logged out and then back in, and they were still gone, so I don't think its an issue on my end.  Also the placeables in the inn itself are gone rugs, tables, teleport system and the like.

//I apologise if this has already been reported, I had a check on the forums and I didn't see it mentioned anywhere

Just for Fun / Look to the Stars!!!
« on: August 11, 2007, 06:04:01 pm »
This weekend marks the peak of the Perseid meteor shower event this year.... so if you're able to tear yourselves away from Layo for an hour or so it's always worth checking out tonight or tomorrow night.. ( I think it's only visible to those folks in the Northern Hemisphere though).  As an added bonus if you look to the Northeast Mars should be visible as biggish red dot :)

I always did like stargazing, and who knows.. maybe there's a little world like Layo out there?  You never can tell ;).

Fixed Bugs / Woodcutters axe breaking too easily?
« on: May 15, 2007, 04:07:46 pm »
Over the last 2 weeks or so I've managed to break at least 4 axes (may even be 5 or 6) attempting to cut hickory.  I know that there's always a chance of breaking them, but I don't spend a large amount of time gathering wood IG so I'm quite surprised by how delicate they seem to be when compared to some other tools used to gather CNR like the gem crafters chisel.

Just wanted to say a quick thank you to the DM (The Arbiter I believe) who helped me out of a sticky situation involving a tree in the Kobold camp.  Much appreciated :)

General Discussion / Stuck in the void
« on: December 22, 2006, 05:30:03 am »
Hi I was hoping someone could help me out as I appear to be stuck in the death void with no way out.  So if anyone could give me a hand I'd really appreciate it, as I can't seem to get my irc client to work so I can ask for help there  :(
