Talliska is circle 38, and well on her way toward 40 now.

I'm happy with Talli's training -- however her hiding and stalking are getting behind. I actually find it really boring to train hiding/stalking, oh well. The vipers still train it well for Talliska. My dream title (Penumbra) takes 400+ ranks of hiding/stalking so I have to get to it. ;.;

On the other hand, I'm about 23 Scouting ranks away from "Trailmaster", which I think is what Talli will wear next. :D

I'm wanting to play Ryshy more, but it's hard to keep track of two characters. I really want to train/RP Talli heavily, but the same with Ryshassa is also appealing. There's a lot of changes going on for empaths where empathic shock will become negligible, and they're already allowed to hit certain types of creatures with no shock (mostly constructs). Many new spells that are of interest, too. And eventually the old Empath healing spells will be phased out to consolidate them a bit.

I'm playing Dragonrealms again.
And I am so very hooked.

How could I ever have *left*? I can't even imagine it. It's still the best gaming experience I've ever had, even after all the bumps along the way. And the GMs have been consistently trying to make training easier and fun. Maybe a pain in the arse for those who trained hard with the old ways, but me? I don't care.

Talli is circle 36 and looks like she'll be doing a fast track to level 40. She needs a crapload of Scouting, Climbing and Swimming (in that order) to get there, and a smaller amount of Medium Edged. After that I think I'll cut down on the circle chasing and get my weapons and defenses trained some more.

As for those wondering about my Order involvement. I had previously wanted to keep Talliska uninvolved, but after meeting with Manze and several new members he picked up since I was gone, I decided I really *liked* these people. I have some hope for the future direction of the Order, and wanted to stay on at least a while longer to see where that will go.

Also Halcier is still a member, too! TOTALLY a plus. He's one of my oldest remaining friends in DR. :)
