SEPT 101: While victory was nearly at hand, control of the realm shifted and the inquisition ended sooner than planned. The lost souls of Templars, Avatara, and Awoken left Dauntless grieving, desolate and heart-broken. Though it helped knowing his sorcery aided in crushing Jyoti to nothing but ashes and sand. [PYR-magical]

NOV 101: For Dauntless time nearly stood still, the revealed King went straight for the kill. Before the Templar could mentally unpack... the King of Lightning began to have a snack. As he divulged his plans who he was and his own skill. The Blades of the Empress held many Carmine, their history with Night Kings was well know as malign. Dauntless thought it'd be better to seek forgiveness, for taking a bite of what was likely malifica of great heriticalness... than letting the Night King of Lightning finish his grand design. [Pyrrhic Magical Deed]

Talon Templar

Necrotic Kensai

NOV 00: Ezra worked alongside his fellow Templar Dauntless to defend lightning rods during the onset of magna-storm. In spite of his fear, Ezra faced down living flames and whirlwinds in order to defend his comrade-in-arms and any others in need. Untrained in healing arts, Ezra did what he does best - interposing himself between the hurt and the creatures called by the storm, enduring injury after crippling injury in the process. He may have survived the storm, but the flames proved more than Ezra could handle and left him significantly worse for wear in the months to follow. (PYR-Battle deed)

JAN 101: Everything had blurred together. Running. Pain. "We need those wall down NOW!" Being dragged along cold ground. Ezra could feel himself slipping into that all-too-familiar void as he tried desperately to find the will to pick himself up again, to tell himself to keep going. A voice - one of the few he recognized - crying out cut through the haze. He could just make out the bright red of Octavia's dress. Where will lacked, rage would do. Tossing aside the monster standing over him with a strength he didn't know he possessed, Ezra carved a path to his fellow Rose as fast as his battered body would allow. He got Octavia back to her feet with what basic first aid he remembered and stayed until he certain she was recovered before turning his rage on the rest.

Somewhere in the din, shouts that one of the so-called "Angels of Destruction" had fallen. The Second fell not long after. But the relief was short-lived as he saw the Third shrugging off attacks left, right and center. His allies were all but spent as they fought back the tide of smaller creatures. He stepped to face the last of those nigh-impervious flesh takers. The air turned to ice around him, coating his hands and blade as he let the rage consume him. If the void was taking him back, these foul creatures were coming with him...

The crash of metal didn't stop until that last damnable "Angel" was a mangled, bloody heap at Ezra's feet. (Battle Deed)

MAR 101: Ezra had hoped the thaws would have brought better weather, but the skies still insisted otherwise. He and the other Templars were in the Lost Sheep, pouring over encoded messages when delvers of the ECL:PS Company ran inside asking for help. Braving deluge of rain and water geist, Ezra briefly set aside Temple matters to defend the Cantina. If nothing else, at least this would be an opportunity to practice some of the techinques he'd learned recently. And he did so with deadly efficiency, ending a number of geists before they had a chance to significantly harm any other delvers. One of the creatures that did break through was soon made to realize its mistake, with Ezra mangling both of its arms before putting it out of its misery. (Battle Deed)

MAY 101: After hearing that one of the stolen artifacts from the Altar of Air had potentially been located, Ezra jumped at the chance to join the retreival effort. The risk the caustic sewers leading down to the Warrens posed made no difference to him, he knew how much this meant for some of his compatriates and that they would do similarly for him. Ezra expertly leveraged his smaller frame, nimbly running between beams to assist in placing charges and fighting off toxic-borne creatures. Ezra could feel the noxious environment began to take a more serious toll but acted as a human shield for the gunners to protect them from the encroaching monsters anyway. He thought his respite had come as he helped the last of the delvers to from the sewers but it was clear Ezra wasn't the only one struggling. Bruised and beaten, Ezra swallowed the pain of calling upon his own monstrous strength to carry Ivara all the way from the sewer entrance back to the ECL:PS headquaters in town. He was glad to see her safe but oh was he going to be feeling this day for a long while. (PYR-Battle)

JULY 101: As Clown and chaos descended upon Snakewater, everyone sought a solution to Auberon's impending arrival. Some turned to research or to physical preparations, others still turned to their faith - The Ascended among them. In true Carmine fashion, Ezra laid down his sword and lent his impassioned voice to the Hallowed Asylum. Others followed in turn, speaking tales of the joy and family they have found in Snakewater and each other culminating in ritual so powerful that The Empress herself blessed all those in attendance. [Magical Deed]

SEPT 101: The Lost Sheep was stifling. Everything was. Jyoti had been permanently stopped and that was something to be thankful for - no one else would suffer at their hands. But it still felt like a failure. Too many lost lives and souls - well, maybe "unrecovered" was a better term. But still. Was it selfish to mourn his own life alongside theirs? Ezra jumped at the opportunity to to assist Sparrow of the Rainbird Caravan, a chance to do a bit of good that might leave him feeling like he'd done something worth being happy over. He didn't mind putting his sword and shield to good use, but he certainly preferred putting his other skills to use these days.

With a bit of focus, Ezra was able to unveil torn fragments of spirit and memory of Lan Jernon - one of those in service to Yama. Others took care to cleanse the fragments of any lingering corruption. Together, they gathered the fragments and reflected on the final thoughts and memories of a man who sought to help others but in his ambition, his naivety, and without a strong guiding hand, had been taken advantage of by forces that sought to bring great harm.

Ezra only helped one soul this day. And it left him reflecting once again if he himself was holding too tightly on to ideas best laid to rest.

(Cunning Deed)

NOV 101: As Dauntless lay dying on the ground, held hostage by a Night King that had been hiding under the town's nose for months, a rage filled Ezra like none he could remember. He wanted to rip Celso to shreds and burn the pieces. Maybe celebrate over the ashes for good measure. He would have - if he thought he could get Dauntless to safety first. But his confidence dropped as he looked to his fellow delvers. Manlaus tried and was struck down in a single blow. Raf tried to get a sense of what was going on but faltered. He knew he could survive a blows that would kill most others but three against Celso and his retinue was a losing battle. Fighting against hordes of mutated creatures outside the cantina looked no better. He wanted to throw himself into the fight. Be angry. Be reckless. But no, he would have to save that for later. Instead of being Her wrath, Ezra focused on being Her mercy. Forgoing his sword for his basic first aid knowledge to pick up the healers and medics that had been overwhelmed when the rest of the frontline strayed too far. And then making use of his nigh monstrous strength to carry those frontline fighters back to safety when they too were overwhelmed. Today was not a day for victory. It was a day for survival. (Fateful Battle Deed)

JAN 102: Though much of his time in recent months had been spent on the aftermath of the death of the King of Flowers, Ezra had also been spending time researching and reaching out to contacts within the Carmine Conclave regarding several disappearances, murders, and rising tensions between several of the cabals. His research paid off, between his work and that of several others within the temple, they were able to track down a suspected murder named Lars. After an attempt to flee, Ezra subdued Lars and helped ensure he was delivered into custody. With any luck, interrogations will provide insight into the recent tensions within the Carmine, as well as into Ezra's own past. (Fateful Battle Deed)

MAR 00: Despite the maddening whispers and hallucinations plaguing Malleus, he was able to pull himself together to fight off the entity that had infested Snakewater. In spite of the creature’s best efforts Malleus continued to fight, even surviving two instances of being blinked out of existence to fight a faux Punisher of God.

SEPT 00: Though Malleus’ exorcism was “successful” unfortunately it was done too late. While he was exhausted and spent after fighting the forces of the Pursuer, King Auberon and his minions captured Malleus binding him in chains and ensnared him in warp energies. When the townsfolk came to rescue him they arrived in time to see the entity that grew within the Templar burst forth from Malleus’ chest. Thanks to the spore implanted in him, along with the blessings of the Oracle-Avatar’s own magics, Malleus was able to survive with his soul intact. However the ordeal did not leave him completely unscathed (PYR- Cunning Deed {used 9/24})

JAN 01: Through faith and steel the Snakewater Templars, and Rev, fought their way through waves of Flame Geists to get to the Flame Apostates spell amplifier. Talonite Malleus fought off several of the Geist, and stood between them and Sir Talos as the Grail Guard worked to deactivate the heretical device.

MAY 01: Malleus aided the Steel Wing Sentinels in their recovery mission down in the Warrens. There they encountered irradiated Hatred Geists who attempted to hinder their progress. However the creature was no match for Malleus and Grif who kept the monstrosity at bay while Maverick and Hobo Jones gathered what was required in the area. As time ran out the area begun to fill with more radiation, fortunately Malleus was able to resist it longer and held off the Geist while the others made it out safely (Cunning Deed)

SEPT 01: The final fight between the Blades of the Empress and the Heretic Jyoti had finally arrived. Malleus led the charge, engaging Jyoti directly while the rest of the Blades and their Allies held back the other enemies, and disjuncted portals that weakened them. In desperation Jyoti called upon the aid of the Punishers of God he summoned, however the fell creatures betrayed him and began to attack the infernal instead. As Dauntless pushed back the Punishers, Malleus went in and finished their holy quest by delivering the final blow, killing Jyoti and halting his ascendancy. [Battle Deed]

Although it was just a basic 2 handed sword he was proud of it. - Fateful Ingenious Deed

NOV 99: In order to gain important information for the Templars, Octavia had to put all of her Carmine training to the test, making a good impression on Madam Odette, a visiting noble.
