Passing of Lady Lissanne/Demianna 05/27/2019 04:04 PM CDT
I'm sorry to bear very bad news of her passing, and I think this is the correct folder after the organization.

This email was sent to Helden members by her husband this morning:


<<Dear Friends and Comrades of Lady Lissanne,


On Saturday evening at approximately 10pm, Nancy Stoltzman, who you know as Lady Lissanne or possibly under guise of another character, unexpectedly passed away. For the last 25+ years she had been fighting diabetes and its associated problems such as heart and kidney disease, glaucoma, retinoprathy and nueropathy. Nancy passed swiftly and we are sure there was no suffering.

Throughout the years Nancy's passion for her characters, Helden Hall and the lands never dimmed. She talked often about the game, what she was doing and the people/characters she interacted with. We sometimes kidded her but she never backed down from continuing to play, always fueling that passion. She always said gaming and reading were her escape from the stress of real life, and her active imagination made it all real for a while. You were all considered fellow travelers in the land; warrior, healer, cleric, bard, or whatever your character, you also were a friend and family.

I thank you all for sharing this alternate and sometimes the real world with my Nancy. You all made her life a true adventure beyond the everyday one. I pray that she will live on in your heart and in some way, she touched you the way you touched her. May she always be Lady Lissanne.>>


Hopefully Gemstone can do a memorial in Halycon Hills. I will request something to memorialize her with Helden Hall.

I'm so saddened by this news.

Liss/Demi was a dear friend of mine and I'll miss her greatly. We got to know each others players over the years too. She was funny, kind and a great friend/adventurer. She never missed a night of hunting with the drakes until recently, as her health and sight failed her.

Rest in peace my friend as you pass beyond the gate.
OOC: My prayers and sympathy go out to her family

I thought the world of Nancy and we had been friends from ages ago, she had been sick for as long as I have known her, but in more recent times since I came back to the game it had apparently gotten worse. I remember her telling me maybe in March (2019), what a challenge it was to use her onscreen magnifier to read things, now that her vision had gotten much worse. She was pretty open with people about her sickness, but never was a big complainer. I will miss her characters that I had the pleasure to play alongside, and I will grieve her death as much as I would grieve for my brothers or sisters.

This is a time where I know her "everyday" gaming friends are grieving even more than me. I know that you know this, but I want to make sure you all hear that she thought the world of you all, especially you who, in recent times, would "usher her around" (her words, from a whisper to me a couple of months ago), and her main hunting partner who she has referred to as "amazing" in their helpfulness toward her.

So whether you saw her daily, or only once a week or whatnot, just know that she has been expressing gratitude toward you all recently. Knowing her, she has expressed it to each of you personally, however, I just wanted to be sure you know: You all and your humor and your kindness were a big part of what kept her spirits up, what "kept her motor running" on a daily basis, and possibly what has helped to keep her alive and kicking through many years of illness. To her circle of friends: You did, indeed, mean the world to her. And you did not let her down when she needed you most. May she rest now in peace.

You see Demianna CygneNoir Vaalor the Huntress of Reim.
She appears to be an Elf.
She is taller than average and has a curvaceous figure. She appears to be in the bloom of youth. She has gold-flecked jade green eyes and pristine ivory skin. She has hip-length, silky silver blonde hair pulled back with a silver-netted caul dotted with pink topaz rivets, leaving her side-swept bangs to brush across her temples. She has a perfectly symmetrical, delicately featured face, a pert, daintily upturned nose and a slim waist. She has a tiny heart-shaped beauty mark high on her left cheekbone. Perched precariously on the tip of her nose, she wears a pair of rose-tinted glasses with filigree vaalin frames that look as though they may fall off at any moment.
She has a cluster of twisted kelyn rings with razor-like barbs set along the slender tips of her pointed ears, a rune tattoo on her arm, a tattooed circlet of pink lotus blossoms with their stems woven in an intricate design around her waist, and a chain of intricate runes tattoo on her ankle.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a dented fork in her right hand.
She is wearing a double-folded raw silk pack, a blue feather-shaped charm, an embossed spiked vultite greathelm, a circular steel earring set with a blue crystal, a white gold heart-shaped locket, a labyrinthine pale vaalin choker, an ankle-length black sharkskin longcoat, a hip-length rigid hourglass-shaped black sharkskin corset, a black-handled gold key symbol with a single bit, a pale pink rose with silky ivory-touched petals, a vaalin-edged slim shark skin kit slung over her shoulder, a vaalin-banded ebon sharkskin bandolier over a cowl-necked pink angora blouse, some sleek and shapely ebon steel platemail, a vaalin-bound black jade wristlet, a pair of thin leather handwraps, a thin gold ring, a tiered rose gold hip-chain sporting tiny diamond bells, a small shadowy black velvet pouch, a soft leather survival bag, a pair of slim black sharkskin pants open-laced up the sides, a thigh-strapped slim vaalorn kit, and a pair of soft pink wool socks with ribbed cuffs under some small pink boots covered with tiny mouse paw prints.

Soliere gives Demianna a friendly hug, stirring the scent of roses from her skin.

Love you Nancy and going to miss you and yours so much. ::cry::

>a white gold heart-shaped locket,

is the locket Jeafwsian gave to her.

Demianna gave Jeafwsian an ebonwood heart-shaped locket

>l locket
Tucked into the heart-shaped locket, you see an intricately detailed portrait of an elf. Her jade green eyes have a twinkle in them, and she is smiling happily at you. Her hip-length, silver blonde hair picks up highlights from a cheerily shining sun in a background of blue skies and green trees. It looks like such a perfect setting for a picnic that you can almost hear sounds of giggling and singing. Tiny letters are inscribed along the bottom, inner edge of the locket.

>read locket
Every day with you is an adventure ~ your elf.

There were about 1250 of them in the 4 or so years they were together, and they were.

...

Late, but I heard late, and then it took me a while to settle on the right thing to post.

...

There should of course be something for Lissane in Halcyon Hills. I think I know where she wanted it to be, though I'm not a reliable witness. She was always Demianna to me.

The Halycon Hills memorial for Lady Lissanne & Demianna, played by Nancy (may she rest in peace), has been completed.

I invite all to a celebration of her life and impact on our community, this Saturday at 5PM Eastern.


The location is:


[Halcyon Hills, Lakefront]
The trees around you are thinner here, and you find yourself standing before a large, tranquil lake. Bright silvery moonlight dances beautifully upon the water. Several candles can be seen floating in the distance, their pale flames barely visible. The shrill cry of a bird suddenly pierces the silence as it flies by with a large silvery fish in its beak. You also see a marble memorial.
Obvious paths: north, northeast

A log was requested of the memorial for Nancy, the player of Lady Lissanne & Demianna and I tried to edit one sent me below:


[Halcyon Hills, Lakefront]
The trees around you are thinner here, and find yourself standing before a large, tranquil lake. Bright crimson sunlight dances beautifully upon the water. Several candles can be seen floating in the distance, their pale flames barely visible. The shrill cry of a bird suddenly pierces the silence as it flies by with a large silvery fish in its beak. You also see a wreath of Mournblooms, a silvery black sword-shaped candle and a marble memorial.
Also here: Bakira, Fuzzgore, Pukk, Bernadette, Jeafwsian, Durfin, Felita, Brewmaster Bremerial, Drektor, Great Lady Rezzette, Commander Roblar
Obvious paths: north, northeast

A silvery black sword-shaped candle burns with a warm golden light.

You turn to face a marble memorial.

Carved from a single piece of polished black marble are two magnificent swans. The marble has been intricately feathered to form the bodies of each swan, with sinuously carved necks raised in an expression of strength and elegance. Each swan faces the other, with heads bowed slightly, so that the necks form the shape of a heart. The lower part of each swan melds into black marble, forming a base that is engraved with roses embedded with pink resin. A flourish of recessed carved leaves adorn the front and sides. There appears to be something written on the base.

Carved into the marble, it reads:

"In remembrance of Lissanne, the embodiment of the warrior spirit and Demianna, from whom we will continue to draw strength. Forever in our hearts."

You place a hand over your heart.

Jeafwsian's fingers dance along with the pipes, drawing out an echoing moan of despair.

Bremerial glances at a marble memorial.

Roblar slowly empties his lungs.

You start to cry all over the place.

You increase the tempo of your song, the minors and sevenths layering to form a beautiful but profoundly sad lay.

Drektor takes a drink from his orange juice.

You lean softly against Durfin, stirring the scent of roasted game around him.
Roblar nods at Fuzzgore.

Durfin hugs you, and you wrap him in a warm embrace, stirring the faint scent of roasted game around him.

Jeafwsian finishes the verse of the song then moves on to the next, modulating the bagpipes's tone to create a quiet bridge between the two.

Durfin turns an inquisitive ear toward Jeafwsian.

A wisp of smoke rises from a silvery black sword-shaped candle as the hot wax drips and splutters.

You caress the strings once, very gently, making your mandolin seem to sigh as the melody continues.

You sniff.

You remove a pale pink cotton handkerchief from in your blue velvet cloak.

With a final descent of notes Jeafwsian removes his fingers from the bagpipes's reeds, letting the sound echo into silence.

You blow your nose into your cotton handkerchief with a loud honking noise.

Roblar nods to you.

Patriarch Eruheran just arrived.

Roblar deeply says, "Regwen, az some words to say."

Roblar nods once to you.

Leifa gazes with interest at a marble memorial.

You recite somberly:

"Lominstra looked down upon Elanthia
And saw your cheerful face.
She saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb.
So she closed your weary eyelids
And whispered Peace be thine"

Durfin turns an inquisitive ear toward you.

Pukk nods to Goldstr in greeting.

Roblar takes a few steps back.

You recite somberly:

"It broke our hearts to lose you
But you do not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day Lominstra called you home."

You sigh.

You caress the strings once, very gently, making your mandolin seem to sigh as the melody continues.

You sigh.

You weep softly, quiet tears falling from your eyes.

Felita pouts.

The sword-shaped candle flickers softly, casting a warm light throughout the area.

You lean softly against Durfin.

With great skill, you choose a progression of chords that carry a melody fashioned from the traditional songs of mourning of your homeland.

Rezzette sighs.

Bakira says, "Very nice."

Bakira nods to you.

Fuzzgore nods.

Jeafwsian says, "She always seemed to know when I played the pipes."

Fuzzgore says, "Very nice, indeed."

Goldstr bows to you.

Jeafwsian places his bagpipes beneath his arm and breaths the opening notes of an aimless ramble.

Speaking to a marble memorial, Durfin says, "She was one of the best in all the lands."

You smile at Jeafwsian.

Roblar nods at Jeafwsian.

You brush your fingers lightly over the strings, allowing the haunting minor seventh chord to hang eerily in the air for a moment before beginning your sad melody.

Lady Enestrie's group just arrived.

Roblar deeply says, "Koar willin, she can hear you still."

Roblar nods at Jeafwsian.

The sword-shaped candle burns warmly, lending a soft light to the surroundings.

Enestrie glances at Roblar and clasps her hands in a reverent gesture.

Roblar smiles and nods in greeting to Enestrie.

Enestrie hugs you, and you wrap her in a warm embrace, stirring the faint scent of sweet violet, valerian, smoky lilac, and dark nightshade around her.

Jeafwsian pumps away at his bagpipes, aimlessly skirling notes around a wandering line.

Roblar nods at Diablic.

Roblar nods at Eruheran.

Roblar deeply says, "Welcomes all."

Diablic nods in greeting at Roblar.

With a soft minor chord of final farewell, you allow the music of your mandolin to die away into silence.

The trees around you are thinner here, and find yourself standing before a large, tranquil lake. Bright crimson sunlight dances beautifully upon the water. Several candles can be seen floating in the distance, their pale flames barely visible. The shrill cry of a bird suddenly pierces the silence as it flies by with a large silvery fish in its beak. You also see a purple clover blossom, a yellow clover blossom, a strip of matte grey sharkskin, a white clover blossom, a fragrant white lily, a pink clover blossom, a red clover blossom, a mischievous snow spirit that is flying around, a grey wolf that is sitting, a wreath of Mournblooms, a silvery black sword-shaped candle and a marble memorial.

Roblar,

Thank you for organizing this event and posting the edited logs here. Eesh, sorry for being so loud, everyone. It's been a minute.

Special thanks to Jeafwsian for spending time with me afterwards, talking about Nancy and remembering her fondly. It's such a life experience to say goodbye to someone you met about 20 years ago. She was the best. I'll miss you, sis.
