::[ DM Shout : -- It is said that the man offered a potion of death. Those who drink it would surely die. The square frequenters ask themselves if drinking it was glorious, or plain stupid. They agreed on both as Valeria Lark, known drinker and frequenter of the Grotto downed the potion and was ripped apart from the inside. -- ]::

Valeria Lark is dead.
She started off as just a throwaway created to kill time with Nezgul while I came up with a proper concept. She was a fairly simple character, a down-on-her luck mercenary with a nihilistic streak a mile wide who just wanted to get what little pleasure she could out of life before the world ended.
I still haven't quite mastered the art of taking screenshots, so this is the best I have to offer. <_<

[hide=Her early adventures with the Grey Crowns were incredibly fun largely because of the party banter. The dynamic she shared with Mal was particularly enjoyable.]

Thanks to all the DMs and players for making Valeria an enjoyable ride for me, and I hope it was as much fun for you guys as it was for me.
Ah, the memories. It was a blast interacting with Valeria. The drunken banter between the two always made me laugh, and it was very satisfying to watch their dynamic evolve. It's also pretty great how everyone involved in the Grey Crowns has turned out.
RIP Valeria Snark the Harpy.
Worry not. I hear that Valeria Lark was an enjoyable ride for everyone.
In character and in full throttle every step of the way.
RIP getting drunk in the Blue Mushroom.
My first permadeath of a PC. Valeria Lark had GUTS!
Bantering with Valeria was great. Just shooting the shit with her was a blast. I was legitimately sad to see her die. Kudos for having the balls IC and OOC to drink an "ale of death".

not when you were done
I loved Valeria. Shakti was utterly bewildered of her and decided that if Valeria was the flower of civilisation, she wanted no part of civilisation, thank you. But an amazing character and her banter was the _best_!
