Character: Yugram
Which Event: Meranthe's Twelve [HEIST]
Responsiveness: VERY fast, all things considered. This was a huge event with a lot of lore behind everything, so the speed of how it all happened felt smooth and easy. There was a bit of lag towards one of the middle points, but past it everything flowed. 8/10
Balance: Fights felt pretty nice! One or two curve balls to keep us on our toes for difficulty, and considering that there was death. The Mechanics, which I will come back to later, also felt like very nice ways of evening the playing field! The fight before the last MAY have been quite a bit difficult, with a few autohits and -DR hits that targetted a few people, but overall it was very nice. 9/10
Storytelling: Easily the best part of this event. I can't particularly get too much into it, unless I want to spoil anyone who reads this review, but every single expectation I had for this aspect of the heist was met and MORE. Absolutely love the characterization of these lore figures, with some behaving in an unexpected way that looking back at it, made me think 'Oh of course X behaves like this. No wonder everyone hates him'. The Lore drops that happened for Atrellya also helped cement it quite well, and I feel as though every little bit of it mattered towards the future!! 11/10
Fairness: Absolutely amazing. We were given TTRPG stats with different bonuses depending on the people brought to the event, it felt like everything was done to make every single person who was part of the event have their own important role. Team composition, preparations, everything was taken into account and given life in creative ways that made everything just click together perfectly. The most important part for all of this was that it was a FUN event. Being able to visit different parts of the city we went to also made it quite nice, as well as engaging in their own respective events to help us infiltrate the castle with different routes to take. As for the rewards, I can't particularly speak on them, but seeing a glimpse of what was given, I have to say that they are most definetly worth every single drop of blood given. 10/10.
Overall: 10/10.
Any other comments: can i have a character that raises his children next time
