Horus trusts me with a ledger
After years of studying with Master Horus, he finally offered me a ledger in order to start training Exiles myself. I can't properly express how proud this makes me! Thank you all who have helped me on the road to today, and thank you Master Horus for your respect.
Proud Kirth!
Purgatory Pendant!!!
Just a few minutes ago, my good friend Axell lent me the coins missing for me to be able to purchase my very own Purgatory Pendant! Thank you very very much, Axell! This will make life as a healer more convenient, I am sure. I did a couple of testruns as well... Very nifty!
My shiny, new wonderful Pendant!
Together with PTF again
This night was very good! I met up with my old friends in the Puddleby Task Force for a nightly hunt. After a bit of discussion about the current mushroom season, it was decided we should hunt on Kismia's Island. Talin'shin also mentions that she was very interested to search for the Albino Maha that roams the Eastern coast of that island. She wanted a stuffed Maha for a trophy, she said. It was agreed, and we headed off to the Island.After some adventures without any real mishaps, we finally spotted the coveted Albino Maha on the East side of Kismia's Island, just as we had hoped. After a swift kill by our fighters (Yor, Azriel and Connie Crete), the maha corpse was deftly chained by Talin. The other healers on this trip was myself, Baby and J'jh. This was, by the way, my first hunt where I used my Mercurial Staff. I am still struggling with some mak'ros, but generally I feel a lot more useful than before when I only had my moonstone.
After the Albino Maha was secured, we decide to leave the Island instead of searching for mushrooms. Yor opened a portal to the Ethereal Plane, and we were ready to go home. Unfortunately, I was experiencing a brain melt-down on the Plane, and the result was both me and Yor needed to depart. Ah well, as my memory-strong journal readers may remember, this sketch isn't the first of me fallen in the Ethereal Plane:
Kirth fallen on the Ethereal Plane... again Spiffy trophy!
According to those who knows, Talin's new Albino Maha is one of very, very few. Look at it! isn't it magnificent?
Talin'shin and her new tropy!
Good to be back... again
Once again I am back in Puddleby. It is very good to meet old and new friends. I was particularly happy to see that more people are picking up yellow as a preferred colour on clothing. Doesn't it look fresh and spiffy?
Lemon-cuteness!
Beyond belief... Lord Kirth Gersen, 4th Cricle Healer!
Some sketches without further comment. I am too tired and happy to write more at this hour. Thank you for all your support over the years, dear fellow Exiles. I hope to be able to continue serve this community for many more years to come.
Bruno mocking me, as so many times before
The test was fierce, as usual... very close...
I thought she was just joking...
Bruno actually seemed a little kind now...
Horus is silly again...
Home is where . . . home is
After a very miserable sojourn back with my family and relatives on the Mainland, I have decided to return to the place I now understand is my proper home. The mainland has become a worse shambles than ever before. The paranoia and ill feelings permeates every word people utter, and every action they perform. Simply put: I neither felt welcomed, nor needed.Here, the unlikliest place in our world, I feel at home. Only here my disturbing dreams keep at bay . . .
Fat Alice's new guard dogs
A few days ago, we heard the thoughts of Fat Alice on the sunstones. She was making all kinds of threats. She said something about "it" or "they" being in the mountains. She insinuated that the disease on KI would spread to "our" island. Needless to say, a group of Exiles headed to Fat Alice's hut.When we arrived to the hut, it was empty on the beach outside, and inside we met a hunting group who were in the process of cleaning the cellar. Suddenly we get word that the beach is craweling with various nasty critters. And so it was. We were practically locked into the hut. We began what would become a long, but in the end very successful, battle against both day- and night-time lyfes. Many exiles helped out in the end. Together we are very strong! Thank you all exiles, for a nice welcome back for me, and for a rewarding and exciting spontaneous hunt!
Awesome guards outside Fat Alice's hut
And now...?
Life back... home... was very rough. Where is my place? Where is home?
And now...?
Kirth the Hermit speaks
Many years has passed now... Two years since my last journal entry . . . . .
. . .
. .
. . . Dear reader of these scribblings, I beg for your time to read my explanation. I have been gone for good reasons.Some of you have known of my location, but I have gratefully accepted your vows of silence. For the curious, I can say that I have been in the Lok'Grotons, I guess, but not on the main island. Some of you have even caught me on my infrequent trips to Puddleby for supplies . . .
My self-imposed Exile in Exile, as a Hermit, was brought on of various reasons. Most of the reasons are too personal to discuss in this fairly publick forum . . . All will be revealed in due course. I have conducted many experiments, some of which were suggested by Master Horus . . . some of my own invention . . . I have spent many days in a row dreaming . . . vividly.
I am now clan-less, if you haven't noticed. My tenure as a clan leader of clan Hunter was an utter disaster. When I finally was able to leave the office, I decided to turn in my clan badge. I am not worthy of membership in the clan I wasn't able to serve properly as their leader. As a result, I also applied to become a Knight Errant. These actions were not a result of my decision to become a Hermit for two years, but at the same time they were linked.
I am now broke, but fairly happy . . . back in Puddleby . . . The few coins I had before entering my heremitage have now been spent on library, post-office, and storage fees. . .
. . . My mind is mostly at ease . . .Rescue in the Ethereal Plane
I assisted a group of exiles to rescue a small expedition in the Ethereal Plane. This was my first travel through the Portal on the Portal Island. The rescue was of course a success.
This is the first time I saw the portal
The rescue was, of course, a success
