Thank you for the screenshots! It was a pleasure reading them, you are such a great player. Elizabeth was one of the Peerage's best and most iconic PCs and consistently drove conflict, fun chaos and frustrating messes that Drusilla had to spend her time cleaning up ... our PCs really were absolute polar opposites which made our interactions a lot of fun. I love your characterizations and writing, always.

I hope to see your next PC very soon!

+1 to what Maxwell said.

Vlad set the benchmark for a how PC like this should be played. This is how it's done, people!

Our PCs stories became intertwined when Vlad rescued Drusilla from Maxwell, allowing her story to continue, deepen and become that much richer. *chef's kiss* I enjoyed our interactions very much, especially because people who didn't know Drusilla or Vlad very well might have expected PCs like them to not be able to get along. These low expectations were actually a source of strength for their relation, I think. The tenuous and circumstantial alliance that developed between Drusilla and Vladislav was a good example of the diplomatic philosophy that she applied in the Peerage: trust is impossible, reliability is necessary.

And vice versa!

Very much enjoyed our conflict, but I have to say the (slightly) less hostile initial interactions were even more fun. You did a great job on this PC, well done for sticking with the concept and really fleshing it out!

P. S. She really wasn't a necromancer or an infernalist!

(Ritual killer though? Yes. That one time. >_>)

This is a tough thread to make for several reasons.

One: in spite of what my obsessive forum work might have you believe, I am very lazy unless I'm momentarily inspired. Two: I really miss Drusilla and I wish I was still playing her, so it's painful and relucant work to write her obit. Three: so many screenshots, so much to try to explain and tell about her that was never explained or told, so many spoilers to avoid, so many lovely PCs, players and DMs that I got to interact with on this PC.

But I will try -- just not right now! But eventually. I'm going to update this thread at a later time and add screenshots and things.

For now, let me just say that this was the most fun I've had on this chapter so far, and some of the most fun I've had on EfU since playing Alice Fairclow. And like that experience, playing Drusilla was extremely stimulating for my imagination and creativity. The theme that was slowly developed as Drusilla grew -- that of cosmic-horror divination, and chronomancy -- was just endlessly fun to delve into and explore.

This was my first wizard PC ... ever. It was also my first diviner. Both experiences = utterly amazing. So much RP potential here, especially with how this chapter deals with wizards (wizard madness, a scholarly community, potential cabals, etc).

Drusilla's ending is so spoiler-heavy that I can barely mention it, but I do want to say that -- though it was bittersweetly abrupt, it was also beautiful and very much a fulfillment of the original and primary character goal of my PC. That's something I've never really gotten to experience before and I'm very thankful for Halfbrood for making Drusilla's ending very special and very moving.

I don't even know the player or DM identities of even half of everyone who interacted extensively with me on this PC -- Drusilla's allies, enemies, and mental angels and demons. To all of you, a huge thanks for writing stories and creating suspense and mystery together with me. This was enormously rewarding, fun, thrilling and crazy!

Drusilla was only getting started ... and though her influence will quickly dissipate, her achievements be forgotten and her memory fade, I still feel like there are crumbs of a legacy to be found. I'm particularly thinking of the Tenth Faced heresy which, though still in its infancy, remains for future PCs and DMs to toy with if they so choose -- and I hope they do! (A comprehensive adversarium against the Niners was in the works, but Drusilla didn't have time to finish it.)

I'm hesitant to mention anyone in particular because I don't want anyone to mistakenly believe that I've forgotten about them, but I feel I have to single out two people for particular love. The player of Maxwell -- our rivalry was delicious and I regret not being able to see it to its ultimate conclusion which I think could have been potentially spectacular! And Abala, for running the most pivotal and the most amazingly imaginative event, where Drusilla truly came into her own as a diviner and mad wizard.

Thank you, thank you, thank you once again to everyone I interacted with, and thank you to Howland for creating this sleep-ruining, work-destroying, imagination-firing, creativity-spurring machine of insanity.

GRANNY! I didn't know it was you but OF COURSE it was you!!! Amazing work, as always!! I think we had precisely zero interactions but none the less I felt like I got to know this PC from afar. I love your influence on this server, I hope it continues through more of your lovely characterizations and storytelling.

Drusilla Peake, Anticipator of House Sunpurse, came here in search of her Lord Phelan, the Young.

I was recently in Ring 94 again and I couldn't find Drusilla's carving there (I could be wrong, but I think it hasn't been added).

Could it be added, pretty please?

Kudos on how you embraced Isiden's mutilation at the hands of the Arbiters, instead of giving up or retiring the PC as some might have done. Great work!

Best dwarf this chapter.

Clyyyyyyyyyyyyde  :'(

The true protagonist of CoR! Also the PC with the best name.

I don't know what to say, except congratulations on a fantastic PC. Glad to see it looks like he really got to see and do a lot!

Look forward to seeing your next.

You are a genius, your PCs stand out so much and are so memorable, I love your style and the way you write and play, and I can't wait to see what you do next!

Scrying is absolutely wonderful.

It also has a lot of bugs. Maybe I should discuss them with a bug-squashing DM directly instead of writing them here? Hit me up on Discord if so.
