Post subject:  Krilasth - Warrior of the Mel'nas and Bateje

Was just on the forums and saw Evena complaining about my disappearing, so I thought I'd post something here, despite him being a bit shortlived for an afterlife post in my opinion.

I'll start at the end as it will explain a bit. I let Krilasth go for two reasons I guess:
1) I was moving office with work to open plan - was meant to make it hard to be naughty and mud during hours! (turned out I'm in a corner where I can, and I still have little to actually do for work).
2) When I created I didn't have a concept in mind so much as a build, and therefore once he was "optimised" he got a teensy bit boring without a strong RP current to back him up.

So, after Virsn and his inability to put out damage and outright win a single pkill, I decided I wanted to go to the other extreme. Whilst I prefer mercs for trip and other things usually, I wanted to absolutely max the damage this time - who needs trip if you can cut through someone's pet/elemental/charm in no time at all?

Anyhow. Basically. This core concept was a success. He did more damage than any character I had previously created. I would have loved to have gone up against Rorey, but we met once early on, and never again.

Then I bumped into first Alefi and Iliphalia, and then Pilnor and Heisei as well, and the irony was he turned into the character I'd wanted Virsn to be - we basically explored all sorts of places. It was one of my funnest times on the mud, being as I love exploring. Every weekday we'd finally meet up, and head out to some new place. I think we did about everything bar the iron citadel at some point. Many things twice.

Great times. Anyhow. After I got a certain outstanding weapon, and Alefi fluked a great set of enchants on it (9 or 10 damage if I recall) pk became a bit of a joke. Barbs (hammer ones at that) with bandalores are astonishing. So scary. Didn't find much pkill - was pretty lightie dominant when I was on - but got a few. Was great fun, though it felt a bit cheap in the end. I never went against any groups - I would have done with the chaos grouping that turned up, but even when times overlapped I just never tracked them down.

Either way, I have about 2 or 3 months more of mudding in me for various reasons, and there were some things I'd never done. So I let him go. Thanks to all who made him great fun.

Krilasth was the bomb, it was so fun meeting him while training and realizing that he was the perfect counterpart to Pilnor.

I wish he was around now :(.

I do second that last bit (a bit).

I wanted to do a final show down with Krilasth before I deleted Rorey, but 1) Our playtimes didn't overlap and 2) We both became less active. I did stay up late a couple times looking for you so I could arrange some kind of duel. I was planning on using some cheater items to give me an edge. I think your build would have had an advantage over mine, and you recovered that awesome bandalore after I gave it to Algorab, so without my cheater items I don't think I'd have been able to match Krilasth. Thank you for the shield. It was pretty super. You're one of my favorite players. GL with your next.

I only had one encounter with Krilasth and that was at the Taslamaran stones after Therves had done his typical day of spam dying to some Keeper paladin. I walked in, did a 2v1 against Krilasth and that paladin, wiped the paladin out and sent Krilasth packing. In retrospect, I probably should have let you guys loot him.

Pretty sure Iureana worded out, then came back after a bit more prep'd. Though for some reason you didn't hellfire once. I did fail my rescue for Heisei which left him dead. :(

Since I had not a single enchant, I was pretty wary when you were back around, since hellfire + fury would have left me slaughtered.

:(( Aw COME ON!
Alefi will really miss you mate.
Very curteous character and a beast pve-wise. I still remember that dragon incident.:D
Only fond memories from the character I wish you could keep him more but RL comes first.

Kudos.

Krilasth was a beast.

He was indeed a beast.

Sorry to see him go.

Wonder if we'll be seeing one of these for Yaevu soon? :cry:

I absolutely LOVED Krilasth, hence the complaining. :(

I told you during our adventures that I have never experienced as much of the game as I had with Krilasth. It's really going to be sad when you leave. You're not only knowledgeable, but a patient player with noobs like me. We did have an absolute blast - and in a time period where there typically wasn't a lot going on.

Krilasth was a m'fing beast. That dragon incident Alefi refers to involves no fewer than 8 dragons, and we hit them on a repop which was absolutely insane. I've never seen tanking like that before, and I kind of doubt I'll see it again.

So . . . while you may have rolled him without an RP background, you've woven him into the story of several other characters who will miss him dearly. This character was tops.

:drunk:
