Very early because I tend to finish these early.

Please don't yell at me for what happens in this one OK, I promise you it's an important plot point :/

Act XV: The Throne in Flames

"How far off are we?" Vanath asked. Abaddon thought on the question briefly.

"A day and a half, perhaps. Armies move slower than individuals," he answered. The adrenalin was mounting in him, driven by the upcoming battle and confrontation with the Psychomancer.

His outriders had come back in that morning, the lord's second cousin among them. Vanath had brought him back his new weapon, courtesy of the Keeper.

Abaddon drew Demon Edge from its sheath, admiring the way the light glittered off of its Radiant Ore blade. He allowed a small smile to grace his thin lips. Once again, he wore the massive dark plate, that ancient heirloom of his House, and was seated astride his purebred steed. He knew the figure he cast, massive and indomitable. The sizeable army following him would help with the imposing image.

Hello and welcome everyone! This, as has been mentioned, is my great blog! I am going to write my heart out here and you'd better read and understand all of it :^) Otherwise you'll hurt my feelings and I'll tell Hades and he'll ban you.

So to the main point of this blog; I truly appreciate that you accepted me as a member of this dear community. Yes, I am annoying, I talk about Mobafire a lot, I hate DotA 2 and I don't play it. Despite all this, you have given me a great chance and accepted me as one of your own and you have shown compassion and love towards me. I have received plenty of **** pics as well, even though they aren't as appreciated *** *** pics are (pun intended)

As a thank you, I want to do something (free for me) for you! You name it and I'll try to come up with it.

This also an AMA so ask any questions you want.



SO NOW TO THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT!

I am still not an admin and that needs fixing.

For anyone wondering or people who still care, the last guide is still in progress.

I would say its at a solid 80%.

Maybe could be done by fridaaaayy...? I dont want to put a deadline because I might not be able to make it, but friday seems about right.

I am talking about this [Text/Dense] Goo's Guide To Improvement Techniques, if you are lost.

So i know its been a while since my last Blog and i know some of you have asked if im going to do another.. well yes and no.

I will try to write them "semi" regularly but i only write them when i feel i have something that can affect those who read them. for example my previous posts have had an effect on some people here at the beloved dotoforo, and i have received pm's thanking me for writing them so i think that to frivolously write a disjointed and unfocused blog just to gain reps and or comments is not what these should be...

i want them to help people and in doing so ive helped myself as well. Thus with that being said i have had a profound experience recently with Doto and considering it ive decided to write about it for all of my fellow dotoforians ...

But first, some backstory.

about 3-5 months ago i transitioned, with some help from a coach and a lot of watching and reading, into a what i think is a better player. i was being placed in higher skill tiers and i was making …

So I pretty much know exactly where this abomination of an RPG is headed, so there is a very good chance I'll be posting them much more regularly than the weekly schedule. So this is out two days ahead of time.

No intro jokes this time round because I figured if you want one you should check my Dotabuff stats.

Act XIII: Freed from the Real

Hangovers. They distracted you from duty.

Whisky, however, did not, and Tresdin drained another glass before refilling it.

"You say he incapacitated her? Lanaya was not a part in this… murder?"

The Crystal Maiden slowly shook her head, shaking. It was unfortunate she was too young to drink - Tresdin thought it may have calmed her, made this report easier for her.

Perhaps Lanaya were innocent, taken against her will. But Tresdin knew of the Psychomancer, and anything he was involved in was full of lies and duplicity. Rylai gazed at her with pools of sadness.

She had been found not a day past, wandering aimlessly around the jungle. Her eyes w…

Alright.

First off, these were the most stupid-*** lineups I've seen in a long time. I second picked Void, which while not a good idea I thought I'd get away with.

So I'm doing my job. Farming.

DK dies in the first minute. No big deal, or so I thought. Then he goes AFK for god knows how long. I'm fine with it. More farm for me. I get ganked by Slark and Slardar, I an't time walk out of there. Oh well. I get a kill, things even out. Huskar is doing his early game thing, shreking face. I'm keeping it low. When I get Chrono, and MoM I get some easy kills. I took Maelstrom over Battlefury, since my team was feeding so hard I had to get my farm sooner.

Not much else to say. I thought building Aghs + Refresher would end up working, since every time I popped my ult we'd destroy the enemy team. But my team was busy cooking up meals like a soup kitchen and I never got to the refresher.

I played a few solo pubs yesterday and it felt pretty good. I've been teaching my friends how to play for the last month or so, so I really haven't had time to focus on my own Dota. I was actually afraid that I had gotten worse from playing medium bots with them game after game, but to my surprise I was actually playing a bit better than normal.

ANYWAY, my last game was the one above with me playing as Dragon Knight. He's one of my favorite heroes and I had been wanting to play him for awhile, so I had him selected with mid lane called. Someone else (I forget who, perhaps CM before she picked that hero) highlighted mid with their hero and said "MID PLZ" and I immediately thought "great.." but they gave up when I said I was going and we could just split farm ;) Well, the early game was going pretty rough for me because I was up against a Shadow Fiend. He got early souls and was harassing me pretty hard, but I ended up getting first blood on…

I might make these intro jokes a permanent thing... but am I really that cruel?

Your mother's so fat even Demon can't throw her.

Why did Slark fall over?
Cause he was imbalanced.

Act XII: Taken by the Plague

The night was soothing, calm and cool, the sky perfectly clear. The waxing moon bathed Slom in pale light, and the stars sparkled amidst the velvet canopy. The highest spire of House Avernus was an astronomy, built by Lord Kayle d'Avernus two hundred and fifty years ago. It was here that Abaddon now stood, gazing longingly into the sky and thinking deep thoughts.

Now is the moment, he told himself. There had not been nearly as much preparation as he would have liked, but that could not be helped. It was now or never. Not only that, but he was still needed at the Ancient War. He had sworn to assist Arash in the endgame.

Yet it was not Arash he thought of most, but Lanaya. I have fallen for her, he realised suddenly. How he wasn't sure - they had all of nothing in common. He wa…
