February Highlights!

Getting some good RP in while smithing.  The bottle scene was a lot of fun, even if I *knew* OOG it was going to bite me in the ass later...

Hitting the motherload on Smithing Materials! 

Having most of that motherload gone / claimed already.  :'(

Mage Guild meetings were awesome RP, as well.  Gideon is finally coming into his own as a mage, which is the first time in over 10 years of LARPing that I've gotten a mage to the point he's actually useful as one.  All the others either died or the game ended first...

"Babysitting" Erin and having High Elf discussions with her.

Feast was awesome.  I regret not being able to bring out Carlos for the Gypsy Goulash, but I only had room for one PC in the car along with the food stuffs as well.

"Dorian, if you snore, I will turn to you stone."

Honestly, besides the whole not-sleeping, dying, losing-voice thing, I had a pretty awesome time...

-First 8 hours ending with an awesome rp session with Sister Celestine where there was a give and take of information- I love rping at the focus. Even if it may come back and bite me.

-Kyo being back! That was so much fun- even if, true to form, we didnt interact very much, it was nice to have her back in Alias life.

-Teaching! Even without a voice! Was really awesome- I hope everyone had a good time because I tried out different ways of teaching. I liked the results honestly. Its time to branch out.

-Sleeping for *two hours* and coming down to find out Ethan was dead.  : I cant leave you guys alone for a second...geez. Lol.

-The feast was awesome! Props to the cook!

-Realizing just who is Alia's friend was enlightening. Having her realize it...maybe not so much fun at times.

-A fun mages guild meeting...complete with monsters attacking! The shortest lived monsters evar...

-MAIN MOD!!! Children shadows...Chris you mean man lol...

And there was a lot more, but, still suffering from sleep dep, I believe that I'll end it there. I had a ton of fun, though, and props to Chris for an awesome plotline!

It was good to see familiar faces and talking with friends again after 6 months.

-oog I was glad to speak with Paul about work and lifestyle, he really made me think about how I perceive on happiness.
-helping the kitchen staff once again and making wines in game was a really good feeling.
-npc'ing as the Shadow master was great, to see how pc's would react after throwing their best tag skills out to kill me.
-taunting little sister in game was awesome, great job Cerra!
-showing the way to the caves for pc's on friday night was awesome, the way they reacted in the end.
-working with wonderful npc's whether it was main mod or the beginning of friday, great props to Charna and Alex.
-Roleplaying as Tomatsu and seeing familiar faces.
-I am more than happy to teach Tai Chi in and out of game now thanks to Jarred and Heather.
-sparing with Jarred's dragoon and teaching him some swordsmanship, also fighting him as the shadow master on main mod.
-It was hillarious to hear how many people hated my guts after main mod, even if they were only kidding.
-bringing out Thaddeus, his wife Anastasia and his friend Zain, right out of the book I am actually writing and publishing one day, bringing them to life and having fun with it.
-Seeing my girlfriend Kristen do such a great job rp'ing.
-Great props for Chris Ayala, Thank you for allowing me to play something grand ! I really appreciate it.
-Getting a gift from Quan-Liu which was a latex wakazashi 
-Seeing the look on Magnus' face when Tomatsu walked into town.
-Also getting a gift from Dr. West, which was a beautifully made necklace, I will cherish it forever .




Take care everyone and thank you for everything, and welcoming an old friend

From an In game perspective, this event was just plain amazing for Kwildar, and I had a heck of a lot of fun OOG through it all.

First off, I'd like to give a big thank you to Chris, Cerra, and Tom for being the driving forces behind an incredible plotline.  You guys did an amazing job.  Now, without further ado, on to my highlights.

Friday Night.

New cloak! Huzzah!  Sonya, you're awesome!

Fallout from the Festival, and Kwildar taking steps toward along his own personal path.  Folks involved, I believe know who they are.  Kwildar thanked you all already, but I'd like to thank you guys as well for always being so willing to RP, and for being so inclusive.

Kwildar getting invited to go to the big Jade Tower party by Mixolydia, then impulsively running off when he heard the words "An Andorran artifact is being threatened", and missing that whole event.

The events in the cave, the flight from the walls of Shadow, and getting a hearing a really good account of all that happened after Kwildar opened the box and passed out.

Dealing with a picked over Aiden and Kleidin.

Exorcisms.  I just have to say that sequence of events rocked. (Though one of my twitches arose from that.  Stay tuned)

Patrols with Magnus and Saemus.  OOG, I just can't help picturing Magnus as Speedy Gonzales.  A little off his rocker, and fast as anything.

Late night/Early morning, "Insane O'Clock" conversations with Cooper.

Saturday -

Market Faire was just a lot of fun to see.  Especially when the Archbishop came around during.

Speaking of, strolling with the Archbishop down to the Monastery.  There was so many more questions that Kwildar had wanted to ask, but was just overwhelmed and intimidated by the situation.

Returning to the inn to find a somewhat familiar priestess, aged another 80 years,  and at first being suspicious, but letting all of that go quickly.

Soft-spoken Kwildar, trying to wrangle people.  This is never quite a good idea.

Going off to the Library, but feeling very much obligated to guarding Mother Josa, especially when she dropped into a trance that seemed unaware of anything.  Cerra must've gotten so annoyed at me calling "First Aid Assess" every two minutes.

Apologizing throughout the day to everyone Kwildar found that was without a Shadow because he felt responsible for the whole situation.

The battle at the monastery and its aftermaths.  I'd like to thank Mary-Beth, Tori, Joe, Jason, and you folks who were there that I don't quite know your names yet, for some really good little moments.

Kwildar, Fantine, Lady Scarlet, and Mixolydia, talking about taxes.

Seeing Rayven and Juniper again.

Feast.  Two words: "Damned Awesome".  Kwildar getting reminded again at how much he just simply doesn't understand about his own freedom.

.... "Dove!"

Trying to cheer up a distraught Josalin. No idea how effective it really was, but Kwildar will always try.

Learning what Cooties are.  (To all of you grand ladies playing those little girl shadow-apparitions, you all were simply amazing to watch and interact with.)

Performing ones first baptism.  It's amusing how I love the little details about the world of Knight Realms, and how involved things really can be. Also Gwynedd, thank you for that interaction.  It was a lot of fun for me.

The final climactic battle with the Shadows, the Shadowmaster, and the restoration of the lost souls.  Not wanting to back down, not wanting to roll over, even when all of my resources had been used.  Tired, beaten and trampled. But after a dazed moment after every Healing, jumping back into the fray.

Kwildar realizing, "Hey, I have a staff.", taking one deliberate step back from my opponent, and swinging experimentally at a shadow, connecting, and seeing a claw get no where near him, and the internal thought of, "Ooooh! So, that's 'reach'"

Dropping at least a dozen times, only to keep getting back up, and seeing it all through to the end.

All of the aftermath RP.  No one parties like this town.

Catharsis with undead - Divine vestments for the win (Thanks Alex!)

Lord Pyre and dispelling of nightmares, and the best sleep of Kwildar's life.

Sunday

Interaction with Julian Tellinghast, Malcolm McBride, and the early risers.

Then onto my NPC shift.... Great NPC Crew + Awesome Monster Marshal + More energy than I rightly deserved to have on a Sunday morning = Three boatloads of awesomeness and fun.

Wake up crew! Shiny food!

Wolf pups.  Michaela, I have to give you more props for that.  I had so much fun doing that.

Note to self: Don't eat just before NPC shift, just in case.

Joking about "Chuck"!

One last combative hurrah in muddy, soaked clothing as Imps, and elemental summoning circles.


Oh yes.  The twitches I mentioned.

Losing my prayer book.  Again. I really need to get another pouch for that thing.  Thank you Ralph, so very much, for finding it!

Diane and I finding Jason's cellphone while looking for the prayer book Sunday morning.  Glad to see it got back to its rightful home.

Being less-than-observant about one note on my card after the exorcism.  Only noticing it when I went to get signed off for my NPC shift, and scratching my head for several minutes.  I'm all cleared up now.  Let's bring it on!

Awesome plot this weekend, Chris. You keep this up, and I just might make you an Evilslayer Apprentice.

That being said...

Friday:

-Having an actually intellectual with the "PR guy of the Chaos Warriors".

-Someone pickpocketing me while I was sitting there being all quietly furious about having my shadow stolen, which I thought was pretty funny (Especially since he/she didn't steal anything too valuable).


Saturday:

-Getting my first latex weapon!

-"If you absolutely, positively cannot win a fight, put some Alchemical Adhesive on your shoe, then kick 'em right in the behind. That way, you may have lost, but at least you can say that you broke your foot off in his arse."

-The Library mod was simply awesome. I loved Paul's Chronicler Monk performance. I also got to know a few other Chroniclerites (Chroniclites?) and see my first Chronicler holy site.

-Beef Meranios and Jalex Jerkman: Guards Extraordinare. We'll guard anything from "Dem sneeky Fieves".

-Feast was sweet, entertainment was sweet.

-NPCing Main Mod was always fun

Sunday:

-Combining my information on the Honor Combat with Father Osred. Us Chroniclerites gotta stick together, after all.

-Finally putting a sizable dent in my gigantic amount of unspent build. Once I get back in game, It's gonna be like Clark Kent getting out of the phone booth... As a somewhat more muscular Clark Kent. But Superman's coming, just you wait.

Intruiged by Chronicler more and more.

Taking the opportunity of the mages guild drama to do as much rabble rousing as possible.

Among, 4 , quasi-axehead of judgement, lump of wisdom

Tracking with brendan.

Hey Matt White, im an a$$hole.
