One batch, Two batch, Penny and Dime...

One batch, Two batch, penny and dime...

I struck first hostile blow inside the ark in maybe all of history since h'bala whaaaaat.

We made it out of the ark alive and everything too but then a TERRORIST ATTACK

[00:11] ::[ Spellguard Broadcast : The Ark has been penetrated and its defenses tested before the might of our Order. The primitives have grown decadent and our attack was barely repelled. Only by desecrating our fallen Watchers with spiders eggs were they able to infiltrate our forges and slay Agent Alphonzo Zurrello. A small, petty act we will return tenfold. Mycopolis will burn. ]::

::[ DM Shout : The siege engines of the Deep Forges roar, the great battle not far on the horizon. The engineers are seen with new tools, snickering among themselves. Rumors from drunk watchers claim that Lieutenant Pond has setup a wall in his office for beasts and druid alike. There is a clear sense of confidence within the ranks of the Spellguard/ ]::

::[ DM Shout : In comparison, the village of Mycopolis is in disarray. Panicked elders puff their spores, desperate to get the shroomlings out of Mycopolis and into the underdark proper. Their caretakers whisper that the Stewards shall come.... the Stewards will bring salvation. But in what form? ]::

Born and raised in a small village in Amn, Alphonzo Zurello's life was as pleasant as could be expected. After many attempts and prayers to Chauntea his loving wife was at long last with child. Twins - a boy and a girl according to his blushing bride's intuition. While he spent his days working his nights would be spent tending to his wife's many needs, doting on her - believing himself the luckiest man alive. Her family's wealth allowing him to pursue odd jobs and hobbies to keep himself busy but a life of luxury they knew. Hunting a particular passion as he and her siblings would take to the forest often.

Everything changed late one night when she shrieked out in pain, awakening him in a start. Not knowing what to do he found himself running into the streets of the village shrieking for aid - While sprinting down the dirt road to the Ilmateri Shrine he saw only one thing in the blackness...A glowing red star overhead. The outcome inevitable and said to be common across the realms, but the fate inevitable. After many months of grieving and the attempts of her husband to bring joy into her life once more she took her life. Poison, procured from a local witch on the outskirts of town.

It is said that love and hate a small line to cross. Upon discovering the poison it was a small investigation in the small village - And an easy hunt - To find the old witch's hut and beat her to death with a stool.

From that first act of retribution, watching her hut go up in flames as he rode into the darkness his path clear. A local temple of Azuth found, dedicating himself to the craft of magic.

For in a world of chaos, uncertainty, and wild magics it is the simplest truth that keeps a man sane:

The Witch Burns.

Fun achievements by Zurello

- Taught by a Planar Shade for a number of weeks how to work illusions resulting in SF: Illusion at level 9 and no shortage of headache from PCs calling me a "Shadow Cultist". He was not a shadow cultist he just found himself prey and tried to turn it around.
- Did, in fact, kill Daniah Stone, not the best kept secret in EFU but did evade a lot of efforts before I reached out to the Spellguard for a deal. The plan had been to kill more but the PC response to Daniah getting executed was overwhelming and there was a lot of PC pressure from governmental PCs and mercenaries and good guys alike.
- The Arkfall initiative was started because of the Feud with Horns, and the baublium attack, and attacking the dragon, but all that started because early into the PC I found a flier that talked about his interest in Witches. So yes, Arkfall all started because of witches. The Stewards have had bloodmages and more in the past so he didn't stop hunting witches, he switched his tactics and went MACRO LEVEL instead of micro back alley murder.

- Lieutenant Pond has been restored to rank
- I got to attack Lower Sanctuary with lightning bolts like Palpatine, fun goal for an Agent

- A Bloodmage killed herself to try and stop my Witch Hunter. Pretty good success for hunting witches
- Saw a Drow enemy of mine burned
- Drove a lot of goodly people to take some questionable actions to stymie our efforts resulting in the Refinery Bombing and etc.
- Got like 6 hours of "FREE PVP IN UPPER" after convincing the entire Watcher and Warder force to stand down
- Got to rock out a DM event to fight a Mystrylan Witch and then was betrayed by a Wizard which lead to a huge duel and boss fight
- Killed a Covenant PC in a duel to the death and won by 2 HP
- Countless PC feuds
- Instigated attack on the Ark with my Spellguard Buddycop Partner and drew first blood by lightning inside the Ark to (accidently) kill one PC and black out my arch foe Mannunum and spark a giant battle royale along the Dark Lake where the Calleach herself LEFT THE ARK to chase us all.
- Recruited dozens of uniformed officers, recruited dozens of covert assets, recruited tons of enemies to switch sides to join our efforts, and just manipulated a whole shit heap of stuff as an "Officer" style agent rather than being a hands on field agent for the most part.

The first shot was important, and the last shot a bookend but here's some fun shots in between.

One of the best pc's I've seen to date, hands down.




And I technically killed him, whoops.


10/10 job on Zurello, RwG.

[Castle_of_Moonlight]

Really good pc, glad I got to play with him on multiple different pcs.

[Wench]

Damnit Royce get out of my chair!!!

Seriously though, once again you throw in a PC and rattle the bones of the server. Good work!

[One_With_Nature]

Nice run man! Saved your butt three times purely by chance every time and I'm glad I did.


Arkfall shall continue under new management (hopefully).

[RagingPurpleGiant]

Another classic RwG PC. Shaking things up in the most awesome of ways. Sad I didn't quite get to make a henchman for you in time (or in the right timezone) . Loved Zurello. As always you're a one man plotline.

[Starmonger]

What.. zurello gone? Noooo

BUT holy crap was he awesome, jessica and zurello moments where some of the most fun I have had in a long while, from plotting, getting backstabbed, kicked out, reapplied into the watchers by force, becoming the most loyal watcher since Pak... lols

Jessica shall mourn his loss forever, (or at least as long as she's in the watchers)  and she shall continue in his steps. What a roll model I shall never know again.

Honestly though, I dont know many people can keep a meta plot such as this besides maybe the dm's and one or two people.
Jessica is well known as being terrible at forum work... so it'll be a fun try. Much to the dismay of zurello :p

:'(

[MessengerGirl]

Noooo, my plans!

[Ironside]

Well done, well done.  Commiserations on pulling it off without one of my leal agents to carry you through...

[goate]

Amazing PC RwG, it was amazing to see the effort you put into Zurello, and I'm glad it paid off.   I'm not sure I've ever seen a PC have so much success pushing a plot like he has.


The witch-hunting angle was a wonderful way to remind folks that there's a difference between wizards and sorcerors, while stirring some A-grade drama in the process.

[ByVraccas]

It was good fun, RwG. Many, many hours plotting and trying to make something of the Watchers, Warders, and Reformed Order.


Looking forward to working with you on the next pc :)

[SkagHunter]

Amazing PC as always RwG, it was awesome to Hench as Bakyr, and always enjoyable to witness on my others, as arkfall kicked off.
Cheers!
