The title of this topic made me think of this:

Also - I'd like to drop a big kudos here to Rannos, for being such a great sport as always!
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)

Thank you! The whole event had this horror tone to it, was very well executed.

Kudos to the Knights of the Road and one of my favorite characters, Liunia Lilith. And of course, Grumpycat!

I've been thoroughly entertained (and being run ragged with so much plot), looking forward to the conclusion!

Holy Cow! That was crazy. Super extra special kudos to Grumpy for scaring everyone with the most insane fight I have ever seen.

Extra kudos to the new participates: Sara, Tegan and Elith.

This was like a 1:1 translation of what I'd thought of. Cannot say how impressed I am by DM GrumpyCat. Down to area design and descriptions, it was creepily almost 100% how I pictured it.

And yes, after all this time of playing Arelith, that was the craziest battle ever.

This meant a lot to me, thanks to everyone who was involved, even remotely..

I am absolutely speechless. That was incredible. A well constructed, well thought through, excellently roleplayed event, with a cast of outstanding characters...

It's been an absolute privilege to be part of that.

Thanks to GrumpyCat and Ollie/Liunia for putting on that event. All the prep work and the epic fight at the end... I wish I got a picture. Amazing all around, and thank you again.

I got pictures! Sadly none of the battle as I was too busy running for my life and calling names at the npcs.

That fight was unrelentingly awful, and so...amazing. Probably the best experience I've had on this server so far, and kudos to DM GrumpyCat for being the best and organising a tough but fair fight, and to everyone who was involved in this crisis from beginning to end. You all were amazing.

Bonus Kudos to Borin for being dwarf as hell.

Sorry, have to put this out here. :)

DM GrumpyCat: Your work was stunning, down to every little detail. I believe no one could have wished for anything better than what you've done. There was so much atmosphere, the whole time, and honestly, that was the most frightening fight I've ever seen. There were at least 5 times when I thought 'yeah okay, that's it then' - for my character alone, and another few times for the whole group. Balancing it out between 'super crazy boss' and 'moderate spawns for the mid-level participants' + this super long fight, it was just perfect. This alone is totally amazing, but again, I'm even more impressed by how you played it all out, and how so many people were involved. The ending... Tense. A+ work.

Oliver: The one who dug into this matter so deeply that he was the one to actually start this whole thing. At the same time bringing up approaches and an attempt at a final solution, while you were one of the OOC-drivers of the whole thing - you know what I think about you.

Thank you both for making this possible.

I'd written up a few sentences for a few more people, but I'll leave that out. You were all wonderful!

Why thank you, that means a lot to me!

I will also second the kudos to everyone involved. It is interesting, for me, after a decade, to still be finding stuff out about characters I have known for a long time.

And an excelent job by the DM too!

I'm very glad you guys enjoyed this plot - it was good fun for me to run too. Allowed me to recreate this scene a lot:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L0A2D7zV7A

I'd like to throw my own kudos out to Oliver and Liunia for being great sports and giving me lots of fun material to work with. And I'd like to throw Kudos out to Tophat who helped stat, prepare, and suggest the monsters used in the end boss fight. A good portion of why that was so awsome was down to his talents!

Really glad you all enjoyed it - this has certainly given me the desire to run more.
This too shall pass.

Uhg, I'm so super seriously jelly of all of you. This seems like it was so much fun.

Gotta say, if you can make an event that makes the players end up questioning their character's morality at the end of it, I think it's with that fact alone I can say kudos to Grumpy.
