sounds like a fun stacking nightmare to sort
the tall and thick merchant noble figure in a black, hooded militia dustcloak is standing here, looking as confused as you

Someone with an sdesc along the lines of 'the short man with a large forehead' once obtained a templar's robe somehow, and ran around for a while as the short man with a large templar. I'm not sure if they were stopped by staff or what, but it was fucking awesome.

I'm not sure if they were stopped by staff or what, but it was fucking awesome. I think it was "the dwarf with a big bulbous nose" and he took a lirathan's robe back when the Lirathan NPCs still roamed Tuluk publically. Because he was in the Gaj as "the dwarf with a big bulbous lirathan templar".

Someone needs to tell the story about the templar army going off the cliff and getting demolished by Blackwing. I've never gotten the full scoop on that. It gets me hard just thinking about it. Like it must have been the Armageddon equivalent of that scene in Last of the Mohicans when Magua eats General Monroe's heart.

Next day I get a full day off from work, I'll do this one next. And even though it really isn't my story to tell, it is absolutely a story I can share. I participated and took my lumps and killed some bad assholes, but my god, the Blackwing known as Achrolum (the gaunt, yellow-eyed elf) had a monster field day eating Allanakki lunches.

People say he held back from killing people as if it were a virtue. It was just him being a DM. More people dead is less people to marvel at him, or be part of his story. As a segue back to the thread, and maybe ya'all will get another story from Jazet: I definitely tried to follow this principle as a PC Blackwing. It's a harder line to walk, playing an antagonist without simply leaving behind a trail of corpses, but there's something to be said for the world being a richer place when there's people left to tell stories about you being an antagonist. So I was often trying to think of how to be present to other PCs, and present especially in an unfriendly and sometimes simply threatening way, other than just killing them. Even if it comes down to flat out, life on the line combat, there are often some options. I'm not sure if this is something the other elven clans ever picked up after us, but near the end of the 90s Blackwing era, there were a number of people we beat into submission and then scalped, and at least one fellow I remember whose hand we took. (I'm pretty sure I owe a cooperative admin a drink for that one.) It was much more memorable than any time we'd simply killed someone... and hopefully it led to some entertaining exchanges once they got back to Allanak.

Esau was one of those characters who was so in line with doing it the right way, he made you analyze your own pc to see if they measured up properly. I wouldn't have had nearly as much success with my Blackwing pc if it wasn't for him. I might get back into posting in this thread, just kind of bleh lately.

Sorry I haven't posted on this, it's just not been a major concern. I think about the good times on Armageddon less and less all the time. It's just not something that impacts me anymore. If I get the divine wind of inspiration, I might drop another post, but who knows? And yes, working on something else.
