September Highlights

Peatro Yatzi...I'm kind of in love with you...just saying

I think its official... Peatro Yatzi is the favorite Yatzi of the McKreagor Clan... even if we can't agree on the spelling of our name

"Kill the monster, get the treasure, save the girl" I love you guys!

Yeah, we dragoons are pretty awesome people 

Highlights
- Finding out the Mackraegors have plans to sell me off to be married. Thanks Yahtzis for giving them ideas!
- Upon hearing this, a slew of people tried to explain courtship to Hamish: it came across that he must build the biggest boat he can with nothing but fruits, 2 pints, and whats under the kilt, while on fire... Crivens!
- Showing people Hamish's counting system, and Lois snapping at the idiocy of said counting system.
- Giant Mushroom Mod: Me and Billliumm clothes-lining the giant mushroom. We won a morale victory. I apologize to those who had to see Hamish "uncensored"...
- Boar Hunt- Really fun mod.
- Fire Egg Hunt- I was hit by a wayward Incinerate, then healed only to sit up in time to be hit by another Incinerate, and i still managed to find an egg!
- HIGHLAND RAGE!!! Whee!
- Great feast, and it was a pleasure to work for the Yahtzis.
- Npc shift- I am not good with make-up. That, and the spray for the face-paint was like being licked by the Sun, but it does make your face minty fresh.
- Post-Npc burgers and cider. Boosh.

Lowlights
- "I attack the darkness!" Well, the darkness attacked back.
- New camp + terrible sense of direction= got lost... alot.
- Could get all the black face-paint off, so I had Groucho Marx eyebrows all Sundy.
- Got home only to have to go to work. Curse you, night job!

Biggest highlight - Truly amazing feast.  Glad I saved Baltazar the previous night.

High and low light:  ing between the sheets Friday/Saturday at 2 AM so I could get 6 1/2 hours sleep before helping Hix make breakfast.  Not getting 30 minutes in a row until 545.

Commenting to Steve Oros that his mod was sick and I really hate standing outiside in my nightshirt in the drizzle.

Discovering how much gray there is in the world when I teamed up with a small group of Galamachians to fight Trolls and undead to save townspeople, then having to kill one of them the next day.

I took a group of varied levels, from under ten to over 60.  Our two trackers totaled under 20, while Jon G, Judge, and a few others were at the other end of the scale.  There was something for everyone.  The NPCs were excellent.  It was worth missing tea with Ming Na.

Teaching others various lores and skills is always a favorite with me.

Speaking with Silent Bird before introducing her to Angelica.about the focus.

Being at the Inn and no one saying a word about the action to take place against the Drow.

Nice meeting Dave, who played a pirate

Gene and JimBob FTW because they do a great job on the grill.

LUIC CACE - get back and run the kitchen.  Took three of us in combo to do it.

More later because I am in pain due to a shot in the ribs.

First, the not so fun:

*Not having the super Galen Cloak of Win, the rain started to get to me after a while, mostly after laying down in the wet grass saturday afternoon.
*Not anticipating how cold it was going to be at night the first night and not getting my proper cold weather gear on as a result.  I was nice and toasty the next night, however.
*Losing my voice worse than I've ever done before at KR.

Now, the awesome:

*Coming in for the first time as Leif and having a blast.  Thank you so much to everyone I played with, especially Leif's new adopted Battle Brothers and Sisters.  It was so much fun coming in and playing someone so very different from Galen and everyone's various reactions, old and new.  I could probably make a list of specific examples, but I'd really feel bad because I've been so absent minded lately that I'd probably leave something out.
*Making a newb mistake because I came in as a newb and going out at night when I knew Drow were around.  Galen would have never gone more than 20 feet from the Inn without serious backup, but Leif did and got captured.  The subsequent interrogation was great, even though it did lead to me losing my voice.
*Diving into combat and having a blast on the front lines.
*Feast was extremely tasty, and eating the first bits with my hands was quite tasty and fun.
*Everyone who helped me out with my first monster marshal shift, NPCs and Staff, were awesome, thank you so much.

And I'm already worked up for the next event.  This should be cool.

For those who didn't know i was around I was drow number 3 or the drow with the swashbuckling hat among other things. My highlights are all from the NPC side of things....

Highlights:
-Immediately arriving at logistics and being asked to "black up" - thanks Sam!
-lurking on the path between Brazens Hall and Pendarvin on friday and waiting for likely targets. We were there a LONG time so if you felt like you were being watched, you were!
-Capturing 10 PC's and portaling them back to NPC land for subsequent interrogations. I still don't know what we were actually trying to find but what the heck we'll interrogate you anyways! Excellent Rp from the captured players btw, very believable tears
-Convincing Ogres to hand over their dead victims -> billiam and friends on friday night
-Getting to sleep in saturday though i was awaken by Yhatzi's and trolls in NPC land? I actually did not understand what either side was saying....
-Watching Collin Mcbane transform into a bear to kill trolls.
-Everthing about the firedrake mod was amazing, chasing the lower level PC's with spells was very entertaining. sorry hammish for hitting you with that incenerate
-Playing will-o-wisps before main mod. It was an uber KR graveyard psychodelic rave party

Main Mod:
-Getting picked to play the Dark Elf General at main mod. I definitely didn't expect to play the same thing again.
-getting lost on the way to main mod site and telling jokes in the woods! 
-Yelling something dramatic about "nooses"
-Bantering with the PC's during the fight was alot of fun and calling out Drak'nar as being a traitor to the drow; only to have him start "slay"ing everything.
-using Flee to escape from Solomon twice. I took about 1/3 of my Body in damage from him alone. Scary business.
-calling "Strength of the Samurai" and hearing PC's get worried.
-Seeing Count Winterdark in action at the end of main mod.
