For some reason the Imms felt it necessary to take me from my guild in Eryn Galen
and put me in a room where I cannot quit and kill me till my con is so low it would
worthless to try and play.
This was my first good attempt at rollplaying and I thought I did a pretty good
job. I really enjoyed playing her. I don't know why the gods chose to do this to me as
because right when I saw 'A muffled (vaguely carp-like) voice tells you 'good night''
my site went dead. I couldn't reconnect for several hours and my con is 12 (from 17)
but I had not xp hole. Do any of you Imms want to comment on this? Because whatever I didn to deserve it I don't want to spend 101 hours on my next char only to have you kill for reasons not apparent to me. Anyway see you all in the next life.
Here is Ekirhal's Diary from a time in her life. I had many plans for her but as of late this will be as far as it goes. I would be interested to know from those of you who traveled with Ekirhal what you thought of her :)
Ekirhal’s Log
Deaths to: Vahain
Rank 18 4/28/00
Traveled with Kulizar and Aghazaz today. Duergars aren’t that bright…or clean but they fight with vigor and seemed to appreciate the sound of my voice. I really like Kulizar. I can’t decide if it’s because she’s a girl or maybe something else. I’ve not yet been intimate with anyone but I ‘feel’ something for her. I presented my emotions and she promptly let me know she was a man-only kind of girl.
Wunhunlo is quite the fighter! And he definitely likes me. I feel a genuine interest in him but can’t quite put my finger on it.
Met Arvam at the Inn after he and Vironas had a little spar in the brawling room. He is a bit older than I am and very charming if not a little hotheaded. Others came and went and then there was just us. We talked of my origins and interests. He seemed interested in me but made no advances save a few glasses of wine. Not to seem pushy I didn’t approach the subject. Arvam gave me obsidian eye amulet and blood-soaked cape at the Inn.
Grouped with: Wunhunlo in Akan.
Regrian, Aghazaz in white tower
Kulizar, Aghazaz in white tower and Akan We killed Alluendrial the thief in Akan. My first slept victim! 4/28/00
Lakagai in white tower until Kulizar came along…she killed Lakagai when he attacked her. He doesn’t like mages.
Rank 20 4/29/00
Silcae gave me fiery-red runed robe
Grouped with: Zestus and Silcae in Chessmaster Tower. Went to Akan first but Erlien gave me some grief and I was the only one she could harm.
Silcae tells me that my voice will carry better if I am drunk. So I pretty much stay that way. End up making it to my 22nd rank. Zestus had to depart and Silcae and I couldn’t find another third. Was about to call it a night and Wunhunlo got my attention. I had fond memories traveling with him in the past so I thought we can have a drink and chat. We headed out to the Inn, grabbed a few ales and stretched out by the fireplace. Zeruel showed up. Wun and I got very cozy. I really like spending time with him. It may have been the ale but I felt really comfortable with his company. We had good conversation. Zeruel gave me a lily. Not to be outdone Wunhunlo gave me a beautiful mithril ring. Arvam came a little later. Zeruel apparently had some talents he wanted to share with us and Arvam was more than happy to accommodate him in the auditorium. I was about to doze off in Wun’s lap at this point but we all went to watch Zeruel. He is quite talented it seems pulling Demon Rabbits from hats, card tricks (which he let me help with!) and the such. I was really drunk and tired at this point so Wunhunlo and I went back to the bar and pretty much determined we were and item. Arvam also acknowledged this. I could not tell if he was happy for me or jealous. Nevertheless he said he was happy I found someone. We kissed. My first kiss!

Left the Inn and did some exploring. Traveling NE of the Inn I found a dismal forested area. Had a run-in with some nasty trolls but I faired quite nicely against the 3 of ‘em. I traversed this forest and found a ‘place’ north of the area. And it’s filled with Wood-elves! I haven’t met anyone I know yet. I remember mother telling me of such a place but never eluded to its whereabouts or offered to take me there. Lots of guards although I don’t know what they are guarding. There’s a guild for me here. I hunkered down and began training my voice. I hadn’t really worked on any new material since way back when I used to practice in the Graveyard in Galadon. Peaceful there and not much traffic. I was able to master 4 nice tunes there. I had my 9th title at this point. This new place is equally peaceful and has little traffic as well. The guildmaster is very patient and tolerant of my many hours working day and night.
Haven’t heard from Wunhunlo. Although I am far away and he doesn’t know how to get word to me even if he does want to write. I miss him. Back to work for now. I spot a mage in town and asked if she could tell me the name of the city. Her name is Guliadkyn and turns out I’m in Eryn Galen. The guildmaster has let me work continuously on my material and I’ve practiced much. I met the limit of her tolerance today when I tried out new songs ‘We come We come’ and ‘Weak time of year’. I was given a nasty beating and kicked out promptly. I went and had drink and came back. She let me in but forbade the singing of those two songs. Apparently they are just too taxing.
