18 Years, 18 Greatest Moment
« on: June 26, 2020, 07:02:06 PM »
It has been 18 years since we began the weekly weeknight game.  With the Snap approaching, I wanted to run down the list of 18 biggest / best moments from that time.

I am going to list the ones the leap to mind for me, you can add ones that you think belong on the list.

Nothing will beat battling the Dragon in the Dragon Palace.  The could be the biggest moment ever in the last 28 years for me.  I never thought it would be a place that I would have gotten to visit let along survive and win a battle.

Claude using wishes should be one moment.  (e.g. uprighting the ship and wishing for more claudes)
Also, the battle at the lighthouse when we first started traveling on the Guardian was epic

However, I have a lot of moments for my characters which probably won't make a list but were great for me.

The greatest moment for me and my characters is when Solaris stood toe to toe with the avatar of the frost gods so everyone could escape.  Although I couldn't really injure the avatar I stood there for several rounds.

Another great one for Cloud was when he reversed gravity the group of PCs (Ajax included)and sent elementals to take the item (I forget what it was) from them. 

Solaris being struck down like Obi wan kenobi and then becoming a Saint.

Capsizing the boat and it getting wished back on my list as well.

Solaris fending off the avatar while everyone escaped also came to my mind.

With 14 days left until the SNAP, next on the list for me is:

Ritvali the God, 8 seasons as one of only a small handful of NPCs that survived and stayed on every voyage and it all culminated in the end of a series of unintended consequences on Forgotten Island.

Another great moment!

The battle against the dragon at the wizard tower is another one that sticks out to me.

Slaying dark seas.  That was an epic fight.
Defeating undead oares (sp?)
Defeating the undead demigod who was trying to take Falans power.


Another moment for my characters that won’t make the top 18 but that I loved.

Was Nathan charging the demon on the ship and killing it in one charge
And Nathan using rogue wave with hail storm combo.  I still love the visual

One of Voruk epic charges. I am sure there was one that had a major impact.

The Plateau campaign’s fight against the haunted house golem was pretty memorable. Gnevil got the Wicked Witch of the East treatment.

I had considered that one as well.  Might be the best way a PC has ever died.
