Stacy the Master and castilla fun

This week Anistasia (fighter) reached stance level 21 in crusader and stance level 20 in peltast. Blair (cath torche) maxed out death chopping and also bought 2 death stunt rings so each skill can be at level 10. Ann (scout) also reached expert level 6 from a combination of castilla runs and afk levling. while leveling stances in the frozen wastes the family got 2 qualified leather belt recs and 1 qualified metal belt rec. Anastasia also reached master while leveling her stances and raiding. with her current equipment she has 69 DR unbuffed and 73 fully buffed.


the family also participated in a few castilla runs this week. for some reason one of the runs was very bad even though we had a full squad. it entailed a golden spider and 2 fire spiders of chaos chasing my bernelli all the way to the bigining and then just dissapering and chimera refusing to die no matter what we did to it. we ended up failing that run. after the horable faliure we all paid one ancient relic in order to make the run again. this time was much more sucessful as we made it all the way to Dekivaria and past him. we ended up getting stuck in the ruins since our gear wouldnt be able to kill King Henry.

The family

Sarah: The cop turned Treasure hunter, Came to the new world looking for wealth and instead found the zigurate family. She agreed to join them in while she searched for the fabled Ferruccio treasure with Kira. She wonders why Tony is always following her but deals with it because she gets him to move heavy things for her. She is curious about everything and usually leads the charge into new areas.

Ann: The figurehead of the zigurate family, she came to the new world for a chance to Start a new life away from her family. She was born in a rich family but didn't like not being allowed to do anything by her parents who said they were sheltering her to "protect her". Ann loves to shop and buy clothes that her parents would never let her wear. Since she is from a rich family she knows how to interact with people well and can easily make new friends. She is very kind and soft spoken but can turn violent when angered.

Katherine: She prefers to be called "Kate". Before she joined up with the family she was an armor crafter. She never leaves the house without her trusty hammer which she uses to test the strength of armor made by other crafters (they all break under her hammer). She is a fun loving but driven person who looks after the younger members of the family, especially the triplets.

Zoe: the oldest of the triplets (by 5 minutes) is usually the leader of the group. She tries to act mature but gets angry really easily. She likes to spend time practicing with her sword to try and get stronger. She and her sisters joined the family after Kate rescued them from a giant monster.

Snowy: The middle sister, Snowy likes to lay around alot and because of this her and Akil are close friends. Snowy likes to get things done quickly so she can go back to sleep and becuase of this she sometimes gets sloppy when she fights. She is an extreamly happy girl who loves to eat and always has a smile on her face, even when she is asleep. Her favorite season is winter.

Chloe: The youngest of the sisters, she has a stoic demeanor and is very quiet. She likes to take things slow and get things done cleanly which causes many arguments between her and Snowy. She likes to hang around Lydia's lab help her with whatever she is working on at the time. Its rare to see the three sisters outside of town together and can often be seen testing their strength against huge enemies. Chloe doesn't like to fight very much so she prefers to stay back and shoot things with her cannon. Since she is very calculating with everything she does her shots always land withing .03 millimeters of her intended target.

Morgan: Morgan lost her arm in a fight with Montoro and has been trying to get her revenge on him since. She fled to Coimbra after the fight and met Lydia who was able to heal her a little bit but not able to fix her arm. Kate was able to make a metal arm to replace the missing one. Morgan decided to train with the family in order to be stronger for her next run-in with Montoro.

Aleksei: Aleksei is only interested in one thing: finding strong opponents to fight. He was once a guardian of a temple but an earthquake destroyed the temple and put him out of a job. While Aleksei was roaming aimlessly he came across Stacy and Romi fighting and was impressed by their strength. He joined the family just to be able to fight and get stronger. Aleksei is a very serious person but is sometimes confused by all of the new things he comes across while traveling with the family. He is most curious of Hild who likes to hover over him while he sleeps to scare him since he is not used to magic.

Jade: A renowned chef from the orient, Jade came to the new world to look for exotic new ingredients to use in her recipes. She learned martial arts so she could hunt for ingredients without having to use guns or swords. She has been seen taking down large enemies with her bare hands and making a stew out of them. She is very serious when it comes to cooking and hates it when someone tries to put salt on her food.

Lisa: Lisa is Liz's younger sister. Lisa idolizes Liz so much that she does everything that Liz does. Her personality sometimes clashes with this though as she tends to be more level headed when going into a situation, she also get frightened very easily.

Liz: The older of the two, Liz doesn't think much before she does anything and that sometimes causes her to get into trouble. Liz loves to play pranks on her little sister but is also very protective of her at the same time. Liz and Lisa used to be thieves before joining the family. The two were forced to join one night when they attempted to break into the zigurate house and were caught. Their punishment was to serve the family for one year instead of going to jail, the sisters have been with the family for three years now and are pretty much a part of the family

Blair: Blair was once an assassin who was very skilled with a dagger. One night on the job she ran into Cherice who happened to be going after the same target. The two decided to work together and have been a duo ever since. Blair has not officially joined the family but has been seen hanging out at the house and helping them take down enemies.

The family

Lydia: A scientist and scholar who lives in Coimbra. She is very good at healing people and also taught her self how to use "advance science" (she doesn't believe in the word "magic"). She agreed to join the family so they could bring her specimens of rare animals and plants to do research on.

Hild: One night in Lydia's lab she was working on making a clone of herself in order to do double the work in half the time. instead she made Hild. Hild is the exact opposite of Lydia in every way; she hates to read, write, study, learn, listen, or help others. All Hild wants to do is have a good time and party. She only lives with Lydia for the free food and a place to stay. She tags along with the family because she thinks Tony is cute. She also doesn't like Sarah very much.

Tony: Terrified of Hild. He joined the family to help Sarah look for her treasure but really its just an excuse to spend time with her. Tony used to be an investigator but stopped doing that after a while because he just couldn't figure out anything. He is currently "between jobs" so he has lots of time to bum around with the family and help Sarah.

Romi: Romi is a woman of few words, when she does speak she gets her point across in as little words as possible. She seems cold and stand-offish but really she just can't think of what to say most of the time so she puts on a cold attitude to avoid having to talk. The only person Romi talks to easily is Stacy since they are both strong fighters. She so that she and Stacy could train together.

Anastasia: Stacy, as she is called by her friends, came to the new world to escape the war that was raging on in her homeland. Before she came here she was a soldier in that war but soon found that there was no meaning to the fighting and escaped. She is always serious and hardly ever smiles at anything. She joined the zigurate family after Ann met her in The Port of Coimbra and helped her carry all of her weapons.


Niscelle: Impulsive and quick to get angry, Niscelle came to the new world with her older sister to try and find someone to teach them to use their magic. While looking for a teacher they ran into the zigurate family who was traveling the new world and thought it would be a good idea to tag along.

Kira: Kira is a pirate captain looking for treasure. Sarah used to try and arrest Kira all the time when she was a cop but Kira told her about the treasure and the two joined forces to look in the new world. Kira isn't a bad person and was only a pirate because she wanted to go to the new world but had no money to get there. Kira loves to joke around and is often seen playing pranks on Sarah. She joined the family just because Sarah did.

Triela: Triela was a combat trainig doll made to help Blair. Hild thought it would be funny to give the doll the ability to move and infused it with some of her powers. Hild game her a little to much of her powers and gave the doll life. Triela has been seen chasing Hild around the city calling her "mom". She also wonders why blair is pretending to be her. even though she looks mature her mind is still very young.

Akil: A soldier turned mercenary. He was hired by Ann when she first came to the new world. He decided to stay with her as she was constiantly getting attacked my monsters and she had no way of defending herself.

Cherice: Akil's girlfriend and ex hit-woman. She came to the new world to complete a job that she was hired for by some high profile client. while she was on the job she ran into Akil.

She is very protective of their relationship and gets mad if she even thinks Akil is looking at some other girl.
