yes i am Wallace MacBix, the Highlander Trooper (2nd rank Warrior) that you all know and love. I'll be putting my back story up sometime, being that its basicly my clans entire histroy dating back to my great grandfather, and school leaves me little time for pleasure. but yeah.... anyways, curently i am Battle Master and Leader of FWAP and i will be the Battle Master and 2nd in command for Coup de Grace. I'm your standard Highlander and your standard Warrior. I eat a lot, i drink a lot, but i'm not a stupid warrior (i know all of us say that....but i'm not) like all of you think, but i try my best to use tactics and the lay of the land to our advantage.
I put my friends up high and am willing to die for them, i've been spirited twice and killed 9 times. I am the only memeber of the MacBix clan left (to my knowledge) and i am honored to lead my men (and women) into battle.

Excellent! You'll be my first zombie! ;D I'll leave that slot open especially for you when I finally get the ability.

i refuse to be raised as a zombie, Wallace shall not be raised unless it is against his will. besides the last (and only) time i was rasied, a zombie i believe, i was sent to spirit form. so rasied = bad.

And I care why? If I'm going to raise you in particular, I'm not going to send you out randomly to your doom. I'll keep you along with me, so that you may beat people who get close to the healer. And if you die, it is a very good chance that I would die as well. So I see a win/win relationship for you. You don't have to wait 5 minutes to be restored, you get to use ANY weapon, you have 8 body and you get to beat things. And I get to tell you what to do and I get protection. I see no down side, seeing as though I doubt I'll be in any dangerous situations.

Being a zombie isn't as bad as it sounds. Dennis is right. You get to use any weapons, that aren't great weapons (great sword V, Great Blunts III, Great axe III), you get to have armor up to 3 and I even think that you can use florentine and shields. Being an undead is good, if you know that you have a high spiritquest percentage. I will ALWAYS protect my *friends* with anchor spirit so that I know they won't get turned into spirits. Necromancers do have the most things that you can get turned into if you become a spirit. Spiritgeists (9 mana only but they can TOMB REEK!), Spiritwisps (15 mana, get to raise any undead/command them..and repel) Possessor spirits (come on you get to possess people!) and if you don't want to be a skeleton/zombie/ghoul you can always be a shadow which is the equivilant of a 3rd rank rogue or a wraith with is a great fighter who can wither limbs and steal body. The undeads are all great, so you if your 1-2 rank you should consider being one if you die.

wow youve been killed more then Trista (even though your a fighter) and spirited twice? how?
I've been a spirit once, and it sucked ass. It was my 3rd event. I was killed and raised as a zombie. Then they took me back to the inn and 2 clerics fought over who was going to return me, my bandage fell off and *poof* there I go. Luckily I had a 95% spiritquest and I only had to be an ecc. for 4 hours to get a 99%. (I dont care how long it takes, I will always be at 99% before I roll.) Dagros spiritquested me. I had rolled a 71%
Now my base spiritquest is 40%..yay for being 4th rank. I'm married, and in a religion, but no order yet, hopefully I will be soon in the Phoenix, then I have a runic pendant and I usually use darkening, so I'd still be at 65%...joy...must get ritual bonuses. It's worth it. 1 ritual powder and a silver (if your not allied with anyone who can do it) for +5% to your spiritquest vs 5 hours of being a muse/ecc/laborer. You choose.

Now I'm really thinking about oration as a skill I should get... maybe if there's another Inverness weekend soon, I can come back into the game with everything that the new order needs from their historian. Footsnare, true aim, oration, history, law, climbing and swimming.
I just remembered! The undead get fatal blow! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

don't worry too much about swim and climb, but yeah you do need them. otherwise i'd get to carry around a necromancer that would make comments about my kilt, and than he just might slip from my hands and fall down. and so what if i don't have fatal blow.

Don't take it seriously, Bixy. I was just stating a fact about the undead. They do get it. ;D
Anyway, other than those little things. what do you all think? Should I skip on law, climbing and swimming? Because I really don't need them and also, I could do for another mana. If I cut out my true aim, then I can get it right away... eh, whatever. I'll get it eventually anyway.
;D I do know one thing though. I'll have fun while getting it.

oh my 2 spirit quests....heh..... well lets see it was friday night on a standing and i go out on a resuce party and see a ton of undead friends, a blood god troll, a kryven, and i think a gremlin and/or a goblin. well we save them and man it was hard as anything than about 1/2 hour later. the same hook comes up asking for help, me being the smart warrior i was went along. well.... i was knocked down to bleeding/draged away and fatal blowed, than rasied as a zombie. well i go off to fight and i get knocked down to bleeding one of the other zombies or the troll drags me back bandages me 4 times and than i go back. i get hit somemore go back to the kryven with 1 body and ask if i have permission to try and trick their healer to heal me well yet again i start to bleed and i get draged back to the crayven. as i'm counting my bleeding count of 60 they mention that they should bandage me again, and out of game i said i had my max (4 being my normal body at the time, with 4 bandages, and a zombie gets 8) the kryven doesn't realize my mistake and when i pop i just walk back, get beat a few times by trades men who don't see my white head band and than get summoned as a acclysatic of natalise, and at this time i had no religion and 2nd rank. but i was spiritquested beofore the great battle with about a 95/96% chance and i rolled a 6 and so did the guy before me. but yeah.....
2nd time was Bearodue (or something like that, the evil druid guy we sent to the void) i saw Traiz lying on the ground, i believe walayed or bleeding or something, and i see Red the scorpian start to devour him, i run up to Red and start fighting him off. somehow or another Traiz got away, through draging or him crawling or walking or something, and that made me happy, but just than i was walayed by a goblin. than Red ran with me into the woods and devoured me instead. but i didn't mind as much because i saved a fellow comrade instead of just bleeding to death as a zombie (thats why i don't like being undead), than i was summoned as a muse, and spirited quested during the feast of the comedy moon when i pc'ed the feast.

Ahhh, that blood god was the weekend I played Cookie. Cookie was turned into undead and Damia was almost spirited as a zombie. You came to rescue us, I believe. Also, the person who ran it did a very bad job because there's supposed to be no rescue parties and there was about 3 or 4. I remember you doing the spiritquest ritual because I was NPCing as my weetle bard teaching master, Minuet. I taught 4 out of 5 bards in town :-) and I remember seeing you spiritquesting as I was walking out because I didn't eat that nasty chicken parm.

I remember that little quest. I was in the original party that went out there. I was also the first to fall, seeing as though they couldn't kill the Gremlin in time for me to survive the Sureshots. They drove everyone back and I was dragged to the Kravyn... I was upset to say the least, seeing as though I had command undead for the first time and I was the glorified, and now undead, healer on the first mission. I even made my healing ground out of my wallet because my healing ground was neatly tucked in my bookbag back at camp before I realized it. But I didn't get spirited. So I'm relatively happy. ;D Also, I like chanting to the Blood God. ( ) Regardless of my stance, being a zombie isn't all that bad. You just need to fight smarter, not harder. ( ;D ) If you're a zombie, you have to limit what you do. You get to use every normal weapon, heavy weapons, etc., but you have limited body and armor AND you have no lore. Just think about it. You're a grunt, but you don't have to be a frontline grunt, especially when you're given vague orders. That quest in particular definitly proved that, because I helped flank the first rescue party. I think I killed a newb. ;D (Oh well. I'm sure players saw that they could kill me easily too the first time around.)

ahhh, yeah also something else that Wallace has learned from that experience. he will not fight his friends if he can help it, meaning i'd rather go spirit than have to fight you guys from either dominate or being raised. i'm not just going to pop randomly though, but if i need to fight one of my friends, i know i can kill them, they don't know i'm coming, i know they can't despel me or command me, i'd rather go spirit than kill one of my friends.

I can dispel and command you. And I can hold my own in a battle, or at least try to. (Translation: I know when to flee, but I can use spells.) Yes, I know you can beat me, but come on. Just look at the fact that you have a Sword IV and a shield, and I have a Sword II. Just think about that for a moment.
