I was fearing an event where I'd be at the forge all day - until I realized I was the only one that would wear armor into the ring. The Tournament was fun up to and including getting mollywhomped by Kyle. Well played!

2 events in a row. That means I'm back!
Highlights:
-"Cheating is second only to Black Sorcery..." That is g-blor's new motto.
-Fighting Slack in the "Veteran Gambler's Tournament." I almost had him.
-Wooing a hobgoblin with a stroke on the cheek... And not getting killed.
-Coming in second in the poker tournament. I was kind of out of it from OOG stuff, so I screwed up the rules a ton at the start. Why were people so suprised I was in it till the end? Granted, I haven't played much poker in the last 2 years, but I still remember it all, and it's what my character is based around.
-RPing with old friends.
- Watching THE BEARDED FURY.
-New shirt. Thank you, Kate. :)
Thank you everyone for a great Festival.

The massive amount of hedonism that surrounded me this festival was just amazing.
Pancakes!!!!!!!!! That is just so wrong.
Giving someone a second chance at an impression, and being quite surprised at what I found.
Almost being forced into hot nights with Tari ;P Though highly amusing.

What a wonderful Festival! Many thanks go to Fr. Edwin for all his hard work putting this together.
I was honored to be the organizer for the fighting competition. It was a chance for me to get to know many of our fighters, and watch some amazing battles in the mud. Thank you all for participating in this entertaining event.
I'm very sorry that I was unable to continue, as my associate Gwynedd (a healer) needed heel healing. My sincere thanks to Galen for taking over when we had to leave. I'm happy to report that Gwynedd's heel is now healing and she should be back on her feet in about a week. 'Twas just a bone spur.
We're both looking forward to seeing everyone again at the next Baronial Feast.

I did have a great time!
-Watching the tag team fights and cheering for Victor.
-doing the mass and actually working with the clergy (well some of them). It was a real eye-opener for her and I have high hopes for the future.
-Having Victor actually win was hilarious. The way he did it- priceless.
-Playing a card game.
-Talking to soo many people and finding out things. Making up with Tari again and figuring out *finally* where everything stands with her.
-And theres more. But thats all the time I have to write....
Oh! And thanks Galen for driving me to MBs. Im glad you stayed and had a long chat...even if I passed out 2 hours before it was ended apparently.

I'm a bad man, because I didn't do my highlights for the January event before I did these.
-Taking over for Amizar as the master of ceremonies. I'm sorry you had to go, and I'm glad Gwynedd is recovering well, and thank you for letting me take over for you. It was a huge amount of fun bellowing this way and that.
-Being talked into abusing my newfound power by Bromius and Thomas to create the now infamous "Bearded Fury" match. Mother Quin, how could you? You brute!
-The hilarity of a good number of the team battle fights, culminating in the final battle between dearest friends! Of course, if such dear friends are quick to slit each other's throats, I shudder to think of what they do to their enemies.
-Once again abusing my power to get a taste of all the deserts. Mmmm...chocolate and raspberries. ;D
-Finally getting people to play Once Upon a Time and having everyone have a great time.
-Teaching so many people. I need to draw up lesson plans for all of my skills. Pay attention class, there will be a test!
-Realizing that I was sitting five feet from a person I was meaning to talk to...a minute after he left. D'oh!
-Digging myself a deeper hole. ;D
-The pre- and post-game BS sessions with various people, including (but not limited to) THE SUBPAR STAFF BRIGADE, Those not appearing at this event, and anyone else both real and imagined.
-Fun RP with various people
-Once again, announcing the various contests, contestants, and victors, including the victor, Victor, victor of all the victors.
-Despite being such a ham, still being too nervous to actually sing in front of judges and such. Sorry, but I did bleed some people's ears a little later.
Not a problem Liz. By the way, I was right, it was overall a minuscule addition to my journey
. I hope that our chatting didn't keep you up for too long and that you were able to go do what you needed to do Sunday. :)

My son said that he left his trench there so it may be his.
Had a great time on Saturday and my younger had an awesome time. Thanks to those who volunteered to be healed by him!

Though it was hell to get to the place being lost for 20 mins, finally arrived at Charlie's house late Friday, the people who live around the place are really nice even if they're a bit lost... The festival was a lot of fun and I interacted a lot more then I anticipated I would. Congrats to everyone who participated in events, it was all very fun to watch.
-Firday night playing Halo, beating the crap out of Matt till Charlie's son decided he wanted to watch T.V. and soundly trounced me
-Amused how my arrival to the house was so much how I was going to RP Ilana showing up anyways. (reality collides!)
---
-Waking up about half an hour before anyone else and hanging out with Tucker.
-Morning walk with Tucker and the Seamstress ^^
-Helping out Matt with his 'slave' chores.
-Cooking and cutting. Lots of cutting. Was much fun :3
-Practically pouncing Orion and Efgale in glee.
-Ilana's protest to tag team matches and how magic is just bad in general. Her brief 'career' in them and deciding she'll just stick with cooking and writing.
-Demonic dog and the deer leg, and him almost giving me the thing >.o
-Learning that all I need to do to obtain my goals is be really patient, no matter what happens or what people say... Sounds like Ilana to me. That's easy enough to keep up... right?
-Mykal and Rodemir (probably spelled wrong) were my longest conversation ever... with anyone. Funny to think a pair like them makes Ilana like humans more. The stories were great, good work guys. Really wish we could have checked out William's Leap.
-Everyone who participated in the singing/story telling I think did a good job, I chickened out of both events myself...
-Galen! You sing very well so stop complaining! <3
-Hiding from the Bon Fire IG but wanting to check it out so badly OOG... so having Ilana disappear a bit and checking it out myself.
-Galen's storytelling game. A lot of fun and a good way to wind down the night.
-Getting a ride from Zach since complications arose, thank you Zach, even if you don't like my demonic cats
-Knowing in the Knight Realms universe Ilana's enjoying herself cooking up a storm in Mordavia and writing down everything she learns, she needs something good in her life right now.

Man, fun times all around ;D
- Having Chris wake me up by kicking me out of my own bed
- Getting there late . . . only to find out we were early
- Asking Charlie where the bathroom was and him telling me to man up and use a tree . . . so I did . . . several times ::)
- Cider. Mmmmmmm, always good!
- Learning in the Inexperience ring of combat that the best offense against a shield bearer is not to fight him.
- The 3 Stooges skit that was my fight against Orion (Chris)
- Experiencing what it feels like to be a Yo Yo in the Team ring of combat. "Victors up! Victors down. . . Victors UP! Victor's down . . ."
- Being in the final team battle and Orion (Chris) being one of my opponents, running around the 2 heavy hitters each of us hitting them from behind as I chased Chris
- Learning that when faced with multiple high level opponents the best tactic is stay the hell away from them
- Actually winning 10 mins of conversation with Count Winterdark, and instead of convincing him to pic me asked him to tell me more about Travance and Mordavia then I think I could have ever learned
- Running in for the singing contest only to have to run out (I wish I could have see you all perform
) - Gallon's story telling game. Much Fun!
- Sitting around at the end of the night hearing random funny stories and songs.
- Naked, hairy fight. Nuff said.
- Eatting, realizing I eat a lot, then helping to make the second stew. Nothing like ripping the meat off a dead goose with your bare hands ;D
- As always, good friends and good times.
