Calera d'Lyrander Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 I don't really know what to say, or how to tell my tale, but here's a short, little story of how Calera failed. I thought I was on a roll, crushing through workouts and missions with determination and being able to do push-ups for the first time in my life. Everything was going so well, until I failed a will save: "I'll do it tomorrow." Like a level 4 bard wandering into the Underdark, muttering "I'll do it tomorrow," I put off workouts and missions for weeks. Suddenly trapped within Lolth's web, I realised it was the end. Before I knew it, my healthy progress was out the window and I had traded workouts for more time in Neverwinter, traded my sleep for extra D&D nights, and picked up drinks instead of paintbrushes. (I'm a painter, truly a bard.) First came shame. I had failed, it was done, Game Over. But then I noticed others respawning, and believe me when I say I'm so glad that I'm not alone! It's time to whip out the wand of name change, grab a scroll, and give it another go! With the help of a few friends that've decided to join me in my quest, I hope to keep on this path longer than last time. Hopefully I'll see it through to the end, but if I need to respawn again, I'll know what enemies to avoid. Quote Link to comment

TheArchitect Posted July 5, 2018 Report Share Posted July 5, 2018 I think I need a name change too, I'm at such a different place in life than I was when I joined the rebellion 2.5 years ago. Quote Link to comment
