Favourite Imperian Moments 2013

Iniar

As we close out the year, there's been lots of fun had, some good memories and some awesome relationships forged. A year where we said goodbye to unconsciousness and aeon:

07:24:56.415   Standing the Aeon on your open palm, you blow it lightly at Karyn and watch as it seems to slow her movement through the time stream.

07:24:56.415   Balance Taken: 3.20s

07:24:56.415   You toss the Hanged Man tarot card at Karyn and as it reaches her, a huge mass of rope bursts out of it to entrap and hinder her.

10:11:28.609   Susser's aura of weapons rebounding disappears.

10:11:28.610   Susser almost casually steps up behind Lionas and smashes the pommel of her sitara across the back of his head. (RIP @Lionas Sol'Anlumaire)

2) Lamia bombing a AM/Magick shardfall in the Seven Lake Basin with @Iluv

13:19:06.424   You order a demonic lamia to move to the ne.

13:19:06.426   The sinuous form of a demonic lamia slithers out to the northeast.

13:19:06.427   From a distance, you issue a stern command to a demonic lamia. Moments later, the mental link between you and the demon shatters.

13:19:06.429   You have slain Cordilia.

13:19:06.433   You have slain Aulani.

13:20:03.368   (Ring): Iluv says, "Haha."

13:20:08.390   (Ring): You say, "Hahah."

13:20:09.955   (Ring): Iluv says, "How many kills did we wrack up this time?"

13:20:17.199   (Ring): You say, "I got two, think you got 3."

3) Attending my first shardfall with my mentor, @Zith

07:23:21.099   Lord Zith Q'azis says to you, "Want to come and fight?"

07:23:24.861   You nod your head.

07:23:26.714   You begin to follow Zith.

07:40:37.093   (Ring): Zith says, "The troll is now your pimp, eld."

07:40:40.400   Zith finishes unearthing a partially buried blue shard and picks it up with a satisfied nod.

07:40:46.381   (Ring): Eldreth says, "You cheap b*stard zith..rather take long way than pay 2 gold."

07:40:54.592   (Ring): Zith says, "Principle!"

07:40:55.979   (Ring): Hanzou says, "Haha."

07:41:06.014   (Ring): Zith says, "That troll starts with 2 gold."

07:41:10.600   (Ring): Zith says, "Ends up with your pocket."

07:42:43.562   (Ring): Mena says, "1 blue in area."

07:42:47.859   (Ring): Hanzou says, "Good job everyone."

07:42:53.386   (Ring): Mena says, "Hi5.": 

07:42:59.550   (Ring): Eldreth says, "Mena was the difference maker."

07:43:00.644   (Ring): Zith says, "Mena didn't die...?"

07:43:06.400   (Ring): Mena says, "Sssssssssssshh :[."

07:43:07.937   (Ring): Eldreth says, "Little more helpful than empressing afk mena."

07:43:11.463   (Ring): Mena says, "Maybe they haven't realized yet."

07:43:11.748   (Ring): Zith says, "Let's go kill her."

07:43:20.771   (Ring): Zith says, "Get her killed."

07:43:27.697   (Ring): Mena says, ":<."

And then,

07:43:53.436   You follow Eldreth to the ether.

07:43:53.436   The Khandava Archway. (road).

07:43:54.071   A cannon ball races in from the east, rips through your body, and streaks westward.

07:43:54.072   A simulacrum shaped like Iniar cracks and crumbles to dust.

07:43:54.072   Damage Taken: 105 unblockable (raw damage: 117)

07:43:54.072   A cannon ball races in from the east, rips through your body, and streaks westward.

07:43:54.073   Damage Taken: 117 unblockable (raw damage: 117)

07:43:54.073   A cannon ball races in from the east, rips through your body, and streaks westward.

07:43:54.074   All your golden sovereigns fall out of your hands.

07:43:54.074   Damage Taken: 117 unblockable (raw damage: 117)

07:43:57.959   (Ring): Eldreth says, "...."

07:43:57.959    <dead> 

07:43:59.106   (Ring): Mena says, "Wut."

Brishi

1. A glowing spear comes flying in towards you. It buries itself in your gut, impaling you.
   Ahkan slides his hidden blade across your exposed flesh, exposing your blood to the open air.
   You scream in agony as you are struck with an unseen pain.
   As Ahkan carefully opens his wormhole, it begins sucking in the air around you, preventing you from breathing.
   INIAR used a sceptre, regroup!
   INIAR used a sceptre, regroup!
   You tell Iniar Nullheart, Inquisitor, "You saved me!"
   You tell Iniar Nullheart, Inquisitor, "3h 1% 256m 81% D:0 F:0 Kai:23 Bleed:2 60.52xp% <eb db>  Target: Ahkan."
   You tell Iniar Nullheart, Inquisitor, "Then sceptre, you pro."
   Iniar tells you, "<3."
   Iniar tells you, "How awesome is that timing."
   Iniar tells you, "NO SUSPICION IMO."
   
   One of the best moments of the year, personally. Hope this post is followed by many other hilarious ones.

Bathan

I can't recall whether or not it was 2013, but if it was, my favorite memory was the summoning of Hastati, and the beginning of the Conquest. I took a lot of inspiration (polite way of saying I ripped off most of my material) from Fate Zero, and this is basically how I saw the summoning of the Entities looking: 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQIUSkiFl1k

Otherwise, I really have enjoyed my time in Khandava. It's been incredibly challenging because I'm used to playing my characters a certain way, but the crew there is a really fantastic, mature bunch that is always looking for new and interesting ways to come up with intelligent roleplay. 

Being entirely too aggressive with Juran in fights is also always a good time.

Menoch

My fave moment was when I first started, and some bag of feminine hygiene cleansing product told me to lick Dregaur at Gates. As a lycaean Diavlous. Which, naturally, started my love affair with vivisex.

Icsellom

Leighanna yn'Chionnal says, "We should let them come into the guards."
Leighanna smiles wryly, a look of amusement passing over her features.
A beam of prismatic light suddenly shoots into the room.
The door to the down slams shut.
You look about yourself, rubbing your chin thoughtfully.
You nod your head.
You say, "WE COULD."
A beam of prismatic light suddenly shoots into the room.
You aren't wielding anything.
You are now holding a metallic desublimator in your left hand.
You point a metallic desublimator to the down and the surrounding air grows gradually colder and colder, until a solid wall of ice slowly forms.
The shard within a metallic desublimator crumbles to dust, its energy fully depleted.
You take a long drag off your pipe, filling your lungs with linseed smoke.
You have recovered your breath and can smoke once more.
Rynn rubs some salve on her skin.
 Swinging both swords in a smooth arc, an elite Runeguard Knight hacks into the sides of Rynn.
Spinning slightly, an elite Runeguard Knight steps forward and quickly buries the tips of both swords into Rynn.
Spinning slightly, an elite Runeguard Knight steps forward and quickly buries the tips of both swords into Rynn.
Spinning slightly, an elite Runeguard Knight steps forward and quickly buries the tips of both swords into Rynn.
Rynn swoons for a moment then rises again, flushed but strong.
Swinging both swords in a smooth arc, an elite Runeguard Knight hacks into the sides of Rynn.
Spinning slightly, an elite Runeguard Knight steps forward and quickly buries the tips of both swords into Rynn.
Spinning slightly, an elite Runeguard Knight steps forward and quickly buries the tips of both swords into Rynn.
An elite Runeguard Knight has slain Rynn.
You have recovered balance.
You feel an aura of rebounding surround you.
You tell the soul of Rynn, "Hello, Rynn."
You pick up the corpse of Rynn.
You utter a deep, rumbling laugh.
Leighanna gives a trillingly melodic laugh.



Best. Day. Ever.

Aulani

One moment that makes me giggle and sums up Khizan and Aulani's relationship fairly well.

Khizan gives a veiled temptress an appreciative whistle.

You give Khizan the once-over, eyeing him suspiciously.

You point an imperious finger at a veiled temptress. A veiled temptress's skin cracks and sizzles as flames spontaneously erupt all over her body.
The final blow is too much, you have slain a veiled temptress.

Khizan Vladin says, "No sense of humor at all."

Khizan gives you a peck on the cheek.

Khizan Vladin says, "I love you."

You say, "I love you too."

You say, "And if I had no sense of humour, I wouldn't be married to you."

You give a veiled temptress to Khizan.

You say, "There, enjoy flirting with that now."

You smirk.

Menoch

So... still warm right?

Ahkan

I couldn't find the log, but we're roleplaying with Olanre (who is bat **** insane) and everyone is having a good time.

Olanre makes some reference to blowing up the world and laughs.

Khandava laughs.

Woodlings laugh.

Fancy woodling is in the background O_O signing "PLEASE. SEND. HELP."

Svorai

I have too many favorite moments, but I will try to sum it up.

-Becoming a volunteer
-Being involved in the Zofar event/creating Zofar dolls
- Being involved in Death's door event
- Being involved in the Legion's event
- Everything to do with Celidon/Primals
- Every second of every RP experience I have had the honor of being apart of with players. Especially all those weddings Svorai is invitedto!

Basically, thank you everyone for making my first year awesome!

Having enjoyed being part of Imperian in my own, unimportant way.

Iniar

You're only as unimportant as you make yourself to be.

Hey now. You're important. You make beautiful statues.

Ellarynth

My favorite moment would be...getting an email notification that I was mentioned on the forum and finally getting around to responding. For shame Iniar.

From the other side of the fence;

(Ring): Cerex says, "If she dies 10k times..."

(Ring): Cerex says, "She would beat shou's world record."

(Ring): Sarrius says, "Just don't get too close to any wolf crotches."

Typical Lionas shenanigans;

(Ring): Lionas says, "Give me five million gold."
