Event: Rainbows in the Dark
Character: Esoti Liam
Storytelling: I did not go into this knowing what was planned, only that Talguth needed help with something. Despite this, I was able to understand what was going on almost immediately. Good job. The storytelling was good. Eldrich horror, unfathomable terror, etc... Explained on a visceral level. Further, response times were great. You came prepared. Good job.
Balance: There were two portions with combat. The first was a fight against another player. My particular matchup was splendid. We were BOTH relatively high level, yet weak verbers. And we were evenly matched. It could have gone either way. I cannot comment on other matchups.
For the EC portion... that actually could use a little work. It had a lot of health, and we couldn't really approach, because of big AOEs. It's always hard to tell what AOEs are friendly vs foe. And it was made worse by the perma red tint on everything. Next time, I suggest about 10-20% higher damage, and the same amount lower health. In addition, set the fight somewhere that is NOT making AOEs near invisible.
Enjoyment: Fun event. Val has shown time and time again that they're wonderful with metaphysical storytelling. I wonder if they'll branch out after this.
