December Festival

Tons of great things, but one thing stands out... meeting three new Zacks!!

I want a yurt, that was a neat place to meet and talk with people

The games were fun, the capture the flag was a bit...
The One on one was fantastic to take part in and watch, especially if you had money on the winner

The Gobs did some great work, good way to introduce some of the new people to NPCing and some of the combat rules, even if they stole my stuff...

My mind was frozen stiff when I was trying to figure out what I could learn this event but Elawyn (Kristen?) was a patient teacher and I thank her for her time

Good food, sorry I missed the entertainment contest (was there one?)

Met some great new players who I hope come back for Jan.

"The conflict that occurred down with the goblins/ogres and my PC being interfered with by a new towns member was definitely interesting.  I never did catch the guys real name and I don't think I could spell his character's name if I tried.  He played the new Khitan (I assume) wearing a blue shirt and did a remarkable job with it.  I only hope he has realized that shield bashing him, screaming at him/threatening him, and then saying he was going to be arrested, was all IG."

-Roy S. playing the role of Sir Alexander Renaudierre

Well, this was my very first KR event and may I say that it was definitely interesting from the get-go.  Upon entering the town, I noticed that a lady in White was being chased by a pack of goblins and ogres.  Naturally, I rushed into action to try and help her out.  Later on in the fight, I realized a townsmember about to strike down a goblin who looked like he wanted to just run away.  I stepped in and blocked the attacker's weapon, only for him to Shield Bash me to the ground, shout at me while pointing his blade at my throat, and threaten death upon me if I interfered again.  This man was Sir Alexander Renaudierre.  He was going to lock me up, but I was thankfully saved by a different knight, Lethias, who interjected just at the right moment and managed to keep me from being sent to jail.  Only later did I learn about the gravity of what my character did and I apologized over and over for it, having been dishonorable to a man of greater importance than I.

But just in that one moment though when I was lying on the ground, anger in Sir Alexander Renaudierre's eyes, the tip of his sword just an inch away from my throat, it was in that moment that only one thought flashed across my mind.....THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!

Ps. the name is Misaki.  Misaki Xianlu.

Well...

1) NPCing again...god the cold hurts...but finding my gloves helped.
2)Teaching...that was fun. Hopefully it will last.
3)Meeting/Seeing people! I love seeing you guys and hope to see you all in Jan!

Having time to learn some new things and my teacher actually being around and free when I needed him was nice for a change.

Seeing everyone again even though it was freezing!

Sparing with Cael and Max for a few min before I decided it was just too cold out.

Meeting the new Gypsy Balthier, I loved the music and the card tricks.

Trying to turn Misaki gypsy and liking that it failed so I decided he's my new friend and since he put up with me on the hike threw the tunnel I guess he accepts the friendship ^.-
