Aishling Halifax

[IxTheSpeedy]

Aishling was my first attempt at two things.  First was playing a female character, and the second was playing a pure frontliner.  I had a blast playing her.  Playing a female with an alt account was very interesting as it took people a bit of time to figure out it was me.  Playing a frontliner was extremely fun and I think I will keep doing it for a while.  She was actually concieved initially as a weapon master build but for RP reasons it just never really happened.   I will say that Spring Attack is a fantastic feat to have, especially for someone that missclicks as much as I do.

She interacted with many PC's, highlights of the last few weeks of her life were her friends in the Sovereign Host, which she joined.  Kedrick Reynolds, Egon, Elina, Kairn, Mars.  John Keel once slammed a door in her face...  She hated Pyotr Ignatiev who tried to get her executed by the Spellguard.  She was able to talk her way out of it though and was only banished...

Aishling died during the grand DM event when Sanctuary fell to the Chosen.  Unfortunately it was pretty quick along "the way" but if ya gotta go...  it might as well be while the server is in the midst of being completely reworked...

These were her basics.



Here is a shot from the Azzam insanity.  Aishling was one of the four that chased him from the town hall into the watch house.  He then completely crushed one of us and the rest of us kind of backed away till reinforcements arrived....



Aishling got one really cool piece of DM loot, the "Blade of the Golden Lion" from Mort / Sergeant Blackbeard after doing a crazy assault on Colonel Spitfire's camp.  Probably the most fun spiced quest i've undertaken.





Just before heading up to the gate to defend the city during the last dark of her life:



Defending the gate, or trying too...  The lag was rough.  She died / was knocked out trying to fight alongside the lieutenant...  Lesson learned, when a DM is fighting and there is lag, don't try to be heroic...



And this is about ten minutes before she died on the way to the new settlement.  When she could no longer respawn.



Unfortunately I missed a ton of good screenshot opportunities with Aishling.  Just got too swept up in the excitement of things to remember to hit print screen.  Thanks to everyone who interacted with her, to the DM's who made the last month or so the most exciting time on EFU I have had.  Thanks to Mort in particular for giving her some sweet DM loot, my first and it actually had stuff on it I had to look up.  Didn't know what Blade Thirst was...

Good times.

Aishling was awesome.  A good dueling partner when I first met her, and a good friend and comrade-at-arms later.  I wish you'd been able to come with us on the The Way, you might have made all the difference.

Aishling was pretty sweet, Ix.

[Cruzel]

You've come a long way since I started showing you around when you played Vincent's little chum.

Nothing but good things to say IX, Rock on.

Hey, thanks all, much appreciated.  I've enjoyed hanging with all of your pc's even Cruzel's really really evil ones that wanted to kill me.
