Wow, what a ride. Lauriel was a char that grew on me from the moment I began interracting with others. She was my second attempt at a bard, the first fell short when I was lvl 37 and couldn't manage to perfect sing. So with lauriel I had sing perfected at 18 and loved not having to spend days trying to spam when I reached 30. I interracted with so many people and had so many good times with Lauriel. When I was in the ranking game I made some decent friends who never seemed to make it to hero and thus I will not recall names, I only put 340 hours into Lauriel, and wanted to age die her, but I messed up by getting the tattoo, and since Lauriel was almost entirely an RP char, I had to play it out, and thus went berserk in Galadon when the tattoo gripped my soul and the Prince of Betrayal took hold. Good timing on the Imms part for catching that quick. I was turned evil and I lost the joy of music. From that moment, Lauriel went into a state of depression where life was coming to an end and all she wanted was her voice back, without music her life was meaningless, and what is worse, she began to seek redemption from anyone who would listen. That meant having to do things she didn't want to do. IE attacking mages whenever she saw one. The missives about magic, all propaganda done to please the Lord of Legends. I am really going to miss playing Lauriel and interracting with all the friends she had.

Okay, here is where the goodbyes come in to play, I am going to mess up spelling and forget a bunch of names so please if you interracted with me, good or bad, let me know what you thought, I would appreciate all opinions.

Cezar - Toward the end there you really came through for me, basically keeping me alive as best you could, and trying your hardest to help me get my voice back. More so than any other char out there. You are a solid player, and were a great friend to Lauriel.

Iltch - You are one hell of a player, I had a hard time trying to keep you trusting me. You were by far the closest friend Lauriel had from the middle of her hero life to the very end. I am glad I could help you get what you wanted from the guild. Sorry I couldn't get you the million's we both wanted. I had it at one point, 3.5 million, I was waiting for you to log on so you could donate. But the imms had other things to say about that. You really had an impact on Lauriels depression toward the end, and you made the pain of the curse lessen every time you were around. You are a hell of an RP'er. Keep it up. See you in hell man.

Yevandr - You saved my ass numerous times, and didn't really say much to me after I did some shady things, you would seem to look the other way, and that always made me think that you took a special interest in me for some unknown reason. MAybe it was to have a bard nearby if you ever needed one. I do not know. But in all honesty, you RP like a true rager, and were a beast all around. Impressive char. Keep it up man.

Patick - Lauriels unknowing husband, you had no idea what was going on in her head when she married you. You infuriated her, and me by extention because you were so god damn needy! I mean I was needy too, but seriously you should have been the woman in the relationship. It was your RP that made me pissed at you all the time, always hugging me and kissing me, there were about a dozen times when I sat back in my chair and said, "God man, seriously? Lay off!" Your RP was thick and detailed, well played and unfortunately when you shoved off the mortal coil and finally bit the dust, Lauriel was happy. She got what she wanted from you. Like use and abuse. Hopefully if my PBF gets published you can read the role.

Doriach - Wow, you are a bad ass RP'er and were always there for me when I needed you. I knew I could count on you to be there if I needed you. The last time we talked made me laugh my ass of! I was trying to be as serious as I could, but it was tough at times because I was laughing so hard. But honestly, from Lauriel being a RP char, you brought it out in style on that last day. I also want to comment on the time behind the inn, "emote - Okay, remarks complete, just assume you had your way with me." LMAO I do not have any desire to be a mudSex00rZ, so I fealt that was the best way to get that across, and still have a semblance of RP after that, it was funny as shit. Enough said. Congrats on a cool char.

Gaspar - Wow, I hated you. I hated everything about you, I do not know why, but Lauriel wanted you out of the HH spot so bad. As a player you were solid and you seemed to have some RP but I only saw you like five times, maybe a few more, but toward the end, I went 4 weeks without seeing another herald, and that made me think you were a poor HH. Congrats on keeping it though, and nothing against you, or your char, but Lauriels rols dictated that you were horrible. She didn't want you to know that though. But she did let it seep through toward the end.

Zoder - Glad I could help with getting your last title, good luck with the char, I haven't seen you around much after the Great Secret fiasco. But all in all a solid Necro.

Ubosh - Dude, good luck, you are on the right track from what I could tell from your poems, they kept me interested from start to finish. You are going to be sick when you get up there. Too bad we wont be able to do anything we talked about in game. Maybe someday I will come back with a char, but I don't know yet.

Juhldalor - Wow, what a damn good friend to Lauriel, you may not have known it, but I smiled whenever you came around the inn. You are a solid RP'er also, going to miss making you "Bitty Brew" Hope it got you some recognition.

Dragrahl - Ahh now this is a sad goodbye. I am going to miss having you by my side. You would always drop what you were doing and come hang out with me at the inn. I loved it when you would threaten the gambler. lol I actually began to think it helped at one point. It always made my day to have you around, solid char, GREAT speach on your char by the way, that has to be tough as shit! Good luck with not getting blackballed!

Aeaphoeni - Lauriel was sad when you deleted, I thought I was your first friend you made in Thera, or was it the main land? Anyway, always had fun talking with you and doing what RP we could from what little we knew about eachother.

Zridv - Well played man, well played, glad I could be the one to send out your contest for a wife. It gave me alot of interractions that I would have never. Read your PBF loved the role, hope you bring another one back for people to enjoy.

Joaka - Ahh Joaka, what happened to you? You never said goodbye to Lauriel. You just went away. We would always have something fun to talk about, and I did my first painting of you. It was tough as hell actually, I think I spent about 2 hours working on it. It is too bad people don't give a shit about bard notes. Some people really put alot of effort into them.

Sousidan - I hated you after you came in to Udgaard and flyto killed me. Then looted the only nice things I had. I had vanity issues with Lauriel, and you brought out some serious anger problems with her. You had a good char, we always got along before that, so don't really understand your need to kill just to get what you want, and disregard friendships. Good luck with your chars, though I didn't like this one in game. You Rp'd with me afterword which I respect, so thanks for that atleast.

Xhenod - Damn, I tried to help you as much as I could, and shit, I held on to your things you gave me till nearly the very end. I liked you all around, and wished things would have worked out for you.

Rioko - I think thats what it was, you would think that after spending 7 hours in the Great Secret with you I would remember but honestly, that was some of the most intense RP I was involved with in a long time with Lauriel. Congrats on being willing to stick it out and not give into the deamoness, we had so many people trying to free us that it was so crazy trying to deal with the five people in the room, the demaoness, the monster who kept waking up, and me trying to form the rescue party. All the while dying of hunger having no food for 3 hours. Thank god for the decanter!

Zholgrom - Damn you put up with alot of bitching from me. You know the situation behind it OOC so thanks for... well you came back and killed me again and took what I had left. lol But you have a killer char, ORC ORC ORC! Made me furious! You were beastly though, and while I had like three people kill you for what you did, you seemed to just get right back up and come after me again. I am proud to say that I got you once though. Too bad I could not get my 11,000 gold back from you. Or any of my items, but seriously, well played Orc, and thanks again for putting up with my bitching. I will try to get incontact with you ooc to try and explain a bit more if you want.

Llorenz - Congrats on imming, good luck up there, your char and Lauriel got along for so long, and you were the first person I did a poem for, I hope you liked it. Sorry about the staff at the end. I know you had maxwell coming for me, but she would always warn me when you would be near or when you told her to steal it from me.

Rayihn - I needed a RP reason to hate you, so I gave a half assed attempt to RP at your shrine and I sent you a note, and brough you some items I thought you would like. I am glad you ignored me. lol I was hoping you would. I needed a reason for going to Dis to get the tattoo of the Prince of Betrayal.

Baerinika - Unfortunately I was RPing something you never gave me a chane to explain. But it does not matter now, I got the answer I thought I would get, but I really wished you would have at least met with me so you could see my angle on the RP.

Kastellyn - You were the one I was trying to impress with my poems and stories and things. I hope you liked what I brought to the table. I just wished that there was an easier answer to getting my voice back and not being evil then having to spread propaganda against the magi. I was all for it until I began stabbing my friends in their backs. I had to stop. I really would like to hear what you thought of my stuff/RP.

Iunna - This was my second Herald. Lyug was my first, I really tried to put forth the RP at the inn that I thought was befitting a barmaid. But once Patick died off, you seemed to ignore me all together. I got the tattoo, and you made an attempt to justify hating me, but it just came off as though I was a shit herald because I made the decision to enhance my own RP. If I come back I may try once more for a Herald, because I do learn alot about RP being one. And I think it is a good foundation for being a solid player. I hope I can get on your good side at least once.

Zulg - Well, I want to know if it was you who took the 3.5 million gold from me and told me I was wasting my time getting it. Well it was... Someone took 3.5 million and left me with 300 and told me there was some sort of bug in the gambler... How could a bug be in the gambler when I was the ONLY one to make that kind of gold? Couldn it not have been the fact that the item I had was bringing me all that gold? I mean it was hard as shit to get it in the first place. It is not like I won all the time, I went broke ALOT. Started from scratch hundreds of times, and even after someone "fixed" the gambler, I still managed to get up to 25,000 gold. But I had about 60 pouches of nourishment and hundreds of other items that were all but useless to me. I would have liked to get something in return for the gold. I mean Iltch got his guild pimped out. Why couldn't I get something? Okay, sorry for going off like that, but I was furious when that happened. You need to know that you are doing a hell of a job with the mud. All the Imms are. I am constantly drawn in and it is like I can not get away from the game even if I wanted to. Thanks for keeping me busy while I was overseas. And now that I am home, I am going to have a hard time making up excuses to put in hundreds of hours into a game.


Okay, I am done, and since I am sure I forgot people, let me know, I am dying to hear what people thought of Lauriel, and her poems, and what I could do better on my "hopefully" next char. Thanks for such a good time guys. I will see you in the fields.

Lyug, Demgrith, a bunch of fourty and below chars, and Lauriel.
