Agares was a really fun character to play and sadly he will not be able to put out his next books about changelings and blackmagic as he suffered from the release of his tortured existence with the sweet unspooling of his mortal coil.  I had a great time making poetry for people. He was a really fun attempt to play a ambitious idea of the Tulpa.  Below was the basics of the character.

[hide=His backstory]But I would like to give you some background on Agares because it could seem very odd to the observer why a NE GSF Necromancy bard is not more evil and outwardly monstrous. Because his necromancy is not so much a matter of dedicated expertise but one morbid curiosity. He is not evil by nature. The acts he does are evil. To slave the undead and summon souls. But he does it from curiosity. This is why outwardly he would appear a normal man until his underlayer was exposed. He has been seen in the company of Lords and a pronounced bard of the realms. Well known by many by his oratory skills and composure as an ally. Of course all of this masking his dark tastes and the debauched hedonism that grew so extreme that it led to his faith in the promise devolving into a heresy of the eternal dawn. That a man who could walk eternally could outrun the night and that could only be done by a creature made of necrotic flesh and bone. So his growing interest in necromancy and the deviancy of his intimate desires.  This interest of being an eternal creature and walker of an infinite dawn brought his education to a philosophical concept of heretical followers of the promise who believed their faith in the promise is the only reason it continued to happen. A tulpa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulpa#:~:text=Tulpa%20is%20a%20concept%20in,emanation%22%20or%20%22manifestation%22. made from their belief.

So selfishly he thinks that if enough people know and believe in him with love or hate. If he is on the lips of enough. If he can make the city remember his name. He can ensure a form of immortality by a tulpa formed from their belief for good or ill in him. The weight of their attention granting him what he believes a measure of strength. A necomantic bard who is a almost like a vampire who feeds on the attention of others because he believes through their attention and belief he can live forever. That the famous never truly die and that is why the king is so powerful because he is believed in and known in every ring.

An excellent example of Agares and his taste of necromancy is the ancestor from the Darkest Dungeon. This cutscene from darkest dungeon displays it well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iHT5YLTZa_w. He is not evil because he kicks puppies. He is evil because he is careless sadistic and callous of his company. He smiles and laughs, sings and dances. Of course until things are not suiting for the orator. Then he is a creature of selfish interests and with an aspiration of immortality and hedonism.

His personal motto is One must try all things of pleasure and passion. From the darkest ink to the palest cream.[/hide]

Agares did not shy away from anything foul. Changelings. Blackmagic. Undead. Mutants. Anything. It was all part of his self discovery of why things were bad and how it could help him grow. His time was spent between writing poetry and hobbling around. Agares was all about spreading his name through fame and fortune to one day immortalize himself. I do not think I ever got anywhere close to that but just writing stories was a blast.

Here are some screen shots of his life. I had a great time and I interacted with so many people. TY for making the pc a great time.

Suggestions / Prestige betting in bridge duels
June 16, 2020, 03:52:23 PM
Dueling on the bridge having a /c command where you bid prestige points against your enemy would be cool. Like a /c duello 150. The guy across the bridge does the same. You both get a ping saying the prestige is on the line. Then you fight and who ever wins gains and the loser takes the hit. If it is above one thousand gambled prestige in the duel. The archivists make a whisper and the fight starts in ten minutes to get observers.

When Terrifying rage is used an enemy does not suffer any reduction in damage when they fail the save.

The damage negative shows up as 0 magic beside their normal damage they do having no change.

Screen Shots & Obituaries / Alciede the explorer
May 27, 2020, 04:57:46 AM
Alciede the explorer,

Born in the peerage. A bastard of Sunpurse and Velstra retainers. Tutored by a Ticker Alchemist who filled his head with stories. An adventurer of the planes who yearned to see an alien sun. But the only strange sun he found was the burning of love in a heart that hungered for more than just alien worlds for the first time. Stolen in that love he surrendered his life to chase a siren into the woods. Sometimes the love of a prospector and a witch can never true. Until dead hands lace together. A story that started small and became the hero he wanted to be. He died how he wanted to. Chasing after something no one else had seen. He found his virgin earth and alien sun, he found it in the sense of what he believed was truest love. A sensation kept and held only by him.

Bug Reports / Kobold mine quest Great fissure
February 17, 2019, 06:26:21 AM
The kobold army in this quest hit their own sonic trap over and over again.  They also stack up into extremely tight blocks and can't move because they do that.

When turning in the quest I was given two unrecognized token prompts. The quest still completed but what she was supposed to say was replaced with unrecognized token.
