She has banished the Beast of a Thousand Fates with the might of Ophiuchus the Vindicator.
I'm sure by now people who know me have been listening to me go on and on and whine about trying to do this quest - and I've been trying to do it solo to figure out what I was doing over the last couple of days and running into me having to leave for RL things or other reasons which leads me to......
Firstly, @Aeldra and @Nelras: Thank you both for saving me quite literally from insanity IRL and IG with your help today @Xeii and @Ejderha for helping last minute, too!
Secondly, Whoever worked on creating the new Astral Sphere, new Astral beasts, items, the Realm of Pandaemonium (you're cruel with the maze, but it makes sense to be one!), each and every thing there (hello, new things!!!) and the lore! And then the actual quest and its reward (for BOTH sides)... I am blown away by how amazing this is.
Maybe I'm odd for being excited over quests and the like, but this has been one of the best things for me - especially quest-wise. Once again, I am in awe of you - our @Godmins - and the creativity, everything!
I want to toss raves at members of the Evanescent I've had fun interacting with lately, specifically mentioning non-leaders. @Vatul is great, but there's a different camaraderie with people who aren't expected to have all the answers.
@Kailanna - You are just fantastic. Whether I'm capable or not, you find ways to turn my rambling thoughts into coherent sentences and roll with them. You bring great insight and are far too modest for your own good.
@Alexin - I don't know if I was really REALLY high or your character is more literal than I've ever seen, but that was the most fun I've had explaining a religious concept in quite some time. 10/10 would proselytise again.
@Ophion - I got to design a jodhpuri suit! We had in-character talks about the suit, and it looks so good on your character! You're fine with sharing it with the Order! Honestly, you're my dream client at times.
@Evanescent - if you aren't on this list, that just means I haven't found you yet. But I will. And it will be sweet and delicious and potentially confusing as balls.
To clarify, I was speaking to Tremula OOCly about the dynamics of leaders and congregants and how sometimes people avoid the stress of camaraderie for a variety of reasons. Really appreciate the work you've done so far.
The cool night-time breeze shivers in the arid caress of the streets of the capital city, brushing the earthen taste of dust across your lips.

A blessed silence falls upon the city for the moment, most activity confined to the towers and the theatre due to the snowy weather.

Pinprick points of light twinkle in the deep black overhead, their brightness full of a cold, hungering malice.
That's not how I read that anyways; I read it as Tremula saying that you're one of the people who is expected to know all the answers and thus it is a different feeling interacting with you than with other people who are still learning things.

Yep, I totally misread. Stress of finals is getting to my eyes.

Welll..why can't it be both? Seriouslah, this was yet another time I had to strain my brain trying to think up answers to your questions. If that's how you are when you're high, Nil help me when you're sober!
P.S. Speaking of, I want double/triple of whatever you were having, heh ha.
I just have to chime in and echo anita's sentiment personally. First for @anita and @nelras for our little questing team. It was amazingly fun, can't remember when I was last excited about bashing in hostile environment for so long.
I need to rave myself for this amazing new area + quests. Like... every mob is amazing, some were so tongue in cheek that I laughed while we were bashing them, others were just plain terrifying to look at ( hello, beastie you're plain scary ). This area is so stunningly made, including all the mobs and everything. And it's the first thing ever where I really felt we were having a group questing experience -and- a major reward. I'm just full of awe for this
You have completed the Banishing the Beast of a Thousand Fates quest! You have gained a new honour! You have received a Crown of Ophiuchus as a quest reward!
Holy .... wow! Knowing what I was doing, having a puzzle pyramid and a plan, this took me 2 1/2 hours, maybe, alone. So it's doable by yourself... and wheeee honours.
Overmind Tkegthul, Reigning Cenobite of Ixthiaxa says, "We are impressed, faeling. You have been of much help, and each day we see improvement in Mmakigogotl. Even now he adds his psionic power to our own, what little he has, and so the geomyci in the mines work harder, singing to the gemstones."
Overmind Tkegthul, Reigning Cenobite of Ixthiaxa says, "An enemy of our village? Very well. Perish, Kethaera."
Overmind Tkegthul, Reigning Cenobite of Ixthiaxa stares deeply into your eyes. You begin to hear a strange rattling and then feel as if the inside of your head is vigorously shaking up and down.
You have received a quest! Check out QUEST IXTHIAXA for more information. You have completed the Overmind of Ixthiaxa quest! You have received the Great Illithoid Prison as a quest reward! Overmind Tkegthul, Reigning Cenobite of Ixthiaxa says, "Perhaps with time you will prove yourself worthy of being considered useful."
Yaaay, finally beat this thing again. But I feel like Tkegthul is all over the place lately.
"Chairwoman," Princess Setisoki states, holding up a hand in a gesture for her to stop and returning the cup. "That would be quite inappropriate. One of the males will serve me."

Sounds like fun! I want to do aetherstuffs, but too intimidated by all the new syntax
I would highly recommend learning at least up to Bombard if you'd like to join in with Aetherflares, and anything beyond that to be helpful in other areas whether for flares, or aetherthunting.
Really, just jump in and ask where you can help, what you can do. Aetherflares isn't just about being in the ship either, you can be ground support with the colossus/beacon/heart things. [I still don't know what I am doing, but just go with it!]
@Weiwae (and whoever helped with the release) thanks for releasing St. Tresalyne's sanctuary and for the quests in there.
I would've loved to have been present for the release but I'm just happy it was released! I honestly gave up on it ever coming into fruition since we've been waiting for months for it, but as I look back on the weeks I spent designing the area or looking for people to help me design it or critic the designs, room descriptions, the ambients, and planning the rituals that would be involved... and now actually seeing this area makes me feel so happy and excited!
Thanks for supporting and sticking with my ideas, especially with the phosphorescent, algal, cavern walls projecting the stories and teachings of the Supernals/Tide Lords! I really appreciate the mini-quest that was incorporated with it too!
@Steingrim and @Malarious thank you for taking me under your wing and showing me some of the ropes. @Steingrim super thanks to you. You know what for. There are also a few other amazing Gaudis that I can't tag that have been absolutely awesome.
I have to give some praise to @Estarra@Ianir and anyone else of @Godmin that have been involved in recent efforts to gather feedback and look at some common concerns. I'm not saying 'everything is fixed,' but I appreciate the effort put into gathering information and efforts I have seen into fixing some things that needed addressing. Thank you!

Thanks for all the changes to Path. Would those be abled or disabled for next years' seal competitions?
I agree, the changes to pathfinding are awesome.
Would it be possible to add an explicit flag to NOT use *bix travel for pathfinding? I can imagine a situation during events where the bix rooms are camped, and I want to find a path 'the long way'. Even something like 'PATH SHORTEST 11111 NOBIX' would be okay with me.

Related to this, using bubblixes is definitely going to get people killed, since the bubblix room is often camped with nature discs. If you can't already, it would be nice if you could lock areas (i.e. all bubbles, Icewynd Plains, etc.).
Also, it seems weird that I can "path track 7330" from Mag but can't "path track cavechaos".
Raves to @Estarra, @Avurekhos, and @Danquik for the hard work I've seen going in to making Nihilism look like an awful lot of fun. Going to form Voltron.

From me to you, @Godmins, thank you!
tl;dr The new areas, the new quests, *new things* are amazing. And I am exhausted and excited and rambling.
theatre due to the snowy weather.

The divine voice of Avechna, the Avenger reverberates powerfully, "Congratulations, Morkarion, you are the Bringer of Death indeed."
You see Estarra the Eternal shout, "Morkarion is no more! Mourn the mortal! But welcome True Ascendant Karlach, of the Realm of Death!

And not to toot my own horn, but I think I got a clutch PILOT SEAL START towards the end.

WOO. SO MUCH FOR THIS NON-COM LIFESTYLE. THAT was short-lived.
BETTER STANCE THEM LEGS.
@Kalikai is superb.
I'd like to thank all the people I see helping in Gaudi. I can't think of anyone in the City that I haven't seen make an effort in the last month!
