Illustre Dusterwald | 07.08.14

Exploring the footsteps of the Auren Society of Weavers! Illustre Dusterwald, the Auren Society of Weaver's second Elf, following in the footsteps of Delolad Senocen except that our Elf has also been studying the darker tomes he's come across during his training, having 5 levels in Wizard and one level as a Pale Master. Illustre did well enough, slightly more cautious than others, which took him across many projections in this corner of the realm. The ability to animate the bones of the extinguished without requiring summoning, is a big boost as a Pale Master in this realm. Arriving into the Land of the Dead, Illustre projects what he was wearing upon death in the Land of the Living, his first spark in this new realm of existence, and the gear that will compliment him during his early travels to the projections beyond. - Auren Society of Weavers Gold Ring [Almraiven] - Auren Society of Weavers Robe [Almraiven] - Auren Society of Weavers Staff [Almraiven] - Cloak of Undead Protection [Shadewood] - Chipped Silver Ring [Shadewood] - Stonewall Boots [Almraiven] - Ruby Set Belt [Shadewood] - Hands of the Fire Demon [Shadewood] - Old Pot Helmet [Shadewood] - Wizard's Companion [Almraiven] - Shiver Arrows [Shadewood] - Wooden Bolts [Almraiven] - Acid Covered Stones [Shadewood] A storm is brewing. . . So off Illustre went, shifting alone through the foliage of scattered projections. As the wind picked up and the rain began to fall, he wrapped his cloak tightly about his frame. Despite the vast wilderness before him, the Elf stuck to a winding trail rather than explore. He knew there would be plenty of time for that later, but first, Illustre would resupply. What do you need besides a miracle? Scrolls. Lots of scrolls. When Illustre made his way into populated projections, his ability to persuade those he was speaking to really began to shine. Alongside of a high grade in spellcraft, his intricate knowledge of the woven bind proved very useful when, at times persuasion failed, and spells were required to shape the needs of others into his own. A silver tongue was what kept Illustre on this path, seeking information rather than distant treasure. Illustre warming up his tongue. Although when it was time for combat, Illustre held his own with a variety of spells he learned over the course of Almraiven and Shadewood, dispatching the more common encounters he faced. Yet, dark places in the depths of the projected wilds, where strange creatures dwell, still caused a level of concern and equal caution. But how cautious was Illustre in the Land of the Living from which he comes. Or helpful? Let's take a look at his footprint. - Illustre Dusterwald traveled along with Shayla Shay. - He summoned forth Unuwen as a laboratory assistant. - Members of the Shadowed Pangurk at The Shed were taught a firm lesson. - The Elf took the time to help out three dead spirits and return their troubled souls to the Land of the Dead. - And even helped out the Midnight Alley Ghost on The Strip. - As well as Magnus Magicus, from Arra's Haunted Home on Horseshoe Lane. - Gutted the Werefolk Captain on his way to save Wundra. - Completed the Nightshade hunt of Vampires on the streets of Almraiven. And in Shadewood. . . Recorded footprints from the Land of the Living. Despite his quick persuasion and woven bind unable to assist him all the time, and getting into some local trouble, Illustre Dusterwald did quite well for himself. He was proud for attaining Level 7, bringing him to par with Mara Sheringal, and Perthrowilo Ithil who as a reminder, arrived to the Land of the Dead at said level. You're right. I shouldn't have done that! I'll try and sneak one last update before I leave the country, as I am traveling again and will not have access to do any updates until my return.
