Feb 2010 highlights

Wow. 

-Elanna--girl, you have the most jumbled but throrough memory. . . ever May your stubbornness and tenacity through incredible derision and condescension carry us through again and again.
-"KEVIN?"
-Lovers quarrel. Masterfully RP'd to both NPC's
-feeling effective
-feeling challenged--the lovers, Welschers Bedouin, Andy and Doug's Galladelians, and Damien's Daimyo and entourage all gave my diplomatic skills some serious workout
-Feeling looked-after every minute. I remember the days when I would have to walk across the camp alone at night. Now I can hardly go the the privvy without a guard.
-Small compliments from a larger-than-life character. . .who then had the indecency to die.
-Sleeping through a mummy attack. Thank god he didn't open the door. I wouldn't have even known I was dead till I woke up in the AM.
-Feast despite the intense discomfort of sitting beside the Daimyo and his woman while trying to keep the count who was on the OTHER side of the Daimyo, from horribly insulting the Daimyo repeatedly--and failing epicly.

Jen- Thank you I wish I could say the odd memory was an IG thing... but at least I remember things! It works well for a wild mage anyways  :

So! This event.. was busy... and I have learned the horrors of research when you can't find the people you learn the research from  

It's even more entertaining that once you learn everything... no one wants to listen to you. Luckily Mixolydia did!

Ilana needs a spine. I think she was starting to get one until Sunday morning too when she got that glare from Erdrick. A shame.

The funniest thing was staying an extra hour after my NPC shift to do some research on one thing and then coming in game and right away being sent back out to 'the library' to do a lot more research.

The most fun I had was when the villagers who came to town were trying to lynch a man. Ilana's never enjoyed scaring people until then.

Trying to sell things at Market Faire and then that's when people want my attention. Ugh.

So many new people! Ilana's missed out on a lot but she is starting to catch up

The Daimyo at feast- *clap**clap**clap**clap**clap**clap**clap*
...*clap**clap**clap**clap**clap**clap**clap**clap**clap*

Being ordered to surge... if nobility orders you to do it.. eh?


Lowlights

-Ilana being kicked off the guard because she's a wildmage  ??? Oh well, Ilana got Rayven/Barak to trust her, hopefully Shalok will give her the same chance.

-Learning Ethan Archangel died and having a small conniption. The list of people who need to stay in Travance for it not to be doomed  is getter shorter.. not good!

-My own low-level mod disaster- See, I thought Corrupt Thoughts made me attack others, so I blew my willpower on that early instead of not blowing up when Ilana was met with her first 'sever limb' (rot limb) /Fail on me... but at least I learned another willpower!

-Erdrick- IG, Ilana doesn't get it. OOG, I do. She'll try and learn or end up avoiding him like the plague for eternity.

*5 minutes after finding an odd Urn sitting on the side of the road*

PC #1: Ok, so apparently this urn they need to stop the mummy was stolen, so if anyone has any information...
Me: *surprised* You mean and urn like this?!
PC #1: Woah! Where did you get that?
Me: *truthfully* I found it on the side of the road
PC #1: Hahah, ok... but no, really, where did you get it?
Me: No, really, I found it on the side of the road, like 5 minutes ago.
PC #1: Woah really? I thought maybe that was code for something. Get that to the proper authorities!

10 minutes later, speaking to the proper authorities...

PC #2: Woah! Where did you get that?
Me: *truthfully* I found it on the side of the road
PC #2: Hahah, ok... but no, really, where did you get it?
Me: No, really, I found it on the side of the road, like 15 minutes ago.
PC #2: Hmmm ok... we need a Chroniclerite who can cast prayers over here. Hey, PC #3, look at this!
PC#3: Woah! Where did you get that?
Me: *getting frustrated* I found it on the side of the road
PC #3: Hahah, ok... but no, really, where did you get it?
Me:  I found it on the side of the road, like 15 minutes ago! Why does everyone keep asking me that?!
PC 2 + 3 together: Because it's YOU.

PC #3 brings me to PC #4, with PC #2 in tow

PC#3: Did you REALLY find this on the side of the road?
Me: YES!!!
PC#3: *casts a chroniclerite spell inforcing honesty* Did you REALLY find this on the side of the road?
Me: YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PC#4: You really found that on the side of the road?
Me: YES! WHY DOES EVERY KEEP ASKING ME THAT?

All three in unison: BECAUSE IT'S YOU.


Fuck all ya'll

Highlights:
-Chatting people up on the ride up and before lay on, and feeding folk/learning the joys of soy milk.
-drinking ye coffee at ye bar with Marcus and talking smack.
- nice talk with Slack right up until the woods impaled him.
- Fun NPC shift with the lovers' quarrel -- it was really fun to watch the pcs rp the heck out of that, and very impressive from my pov.
- seeing the Chronicle in hard copy. Even in this digital age, I love the look, feel, and yes, smell of parchment.

Lowlights:
-downed by the plague on Sat morning, so had to head home before a lot of the fun stuff, particularly sad since I won't be able to make the March event. The Chronicle shall suffer. <sigh>

Friday:
-NPC Shift: Lay-on meant that I had to run for logistics for my NPC shift to start.
+NPC Shift: Going out as undead wolves(being one of the pack leaders) and crawling after PCs when they crippled my hind legs, to defend the younger undead wolves
+NPC Shift: Being an elemental and knowing my abilities before I was handed the card.
+NPC Shift: Traping a good portion of towns members during the tiny mod witht eh necromancer and the greater revenant and greater skeletal champions..
"kill all the living!" *short pause and we all turn to the necromancer and start killing her*"Not me you idiots!  the----"

+showing up to town late, and being greeted by people that my character didn't show up to town with for the first time!
+Actually getting more than two good spells for my PC to use.
+getting armor repaired , and only loosing it at low-level main mod( Thank you again for loaning me the lucky armor Mars, it seems only you can hurt me while I wear it...lol)
+Trying to help Ilana keep track of things and not get distracted by the nobals.
+Good RP moment when people kept telling my PC (Oren Tenderson) that everyone at the monetary was dead, and him freaking out and trying to stay away from every one in fear of booming.... only to be told to stay with the group by nobility.(a few people Oren really cares about went to the monetary to help there after things came to the inn)

Saturday:
+Wild mages sleep? strange morning(two hours of sleep and no attack or booming)
+going with Tobar,Collin and the others to help the man who had been robbed, only to here about the urn being taken, then telling them I was the fastest on foot and being told to tell the baron NOW!
+telling the baron and several nobles the same thing over and over again, and getting to catch my breath before heading out again with Barak and Klidon to track down the urn thief.
+tracking through the woods, and finding a the lich mod where the ring was found.
+being recognized and remembered by hig level characters and nobles from last event.
+Winning the life style raffle at market fair, and keeping Ilana's table safe from thieves.
-Buying a few things that were over priced at market fair from an NPC(didn't realize it at the time.)
+also being pick pocketed for the first time only to have my bag targeted and only having bandages and spell packets fro them to steal.
+FEAST
+The RP with trying to cheer up Kquildar and some others after
+The Elven holiday service: it was good to hear so many back story things brought up, for us new people, and hearing other characters that were around before we were in the game.  I learned a lot about certain PCs.
+Being told by Thomas that all wildmages were being forbidden from going to the howling void, so I didn't have to be over protective of a few people that were going.
+Going to low level Main mod and not being useless, as I buffed a bunch of people.
+getting dropped at main mod and the RP resulting in it( Rosa heals me, and I wait for her to bubble again before I start attacking the back line with my sword. They dropped me again, and one of the templars rots both my arms, and the other heals me. my ears popped as the one told me about taking this message to the town and I played it as the pain of my arms rotting away, and boomed.  I hit all of the NPCs and not a single PC.)^u^
+Hearing that most people thought my boom was one of the gods assisting the town in this fight.
+Being told to tell certain people in character about booming and "saving the  younger members of town"
+Buffing Thmoas for the rest of main mod after the ritual was started.
-not getting the hot chocolate we payed for.
+More sleep? (that couldn't have been right...)

Sunday:
+Offering to add bacon to the burgers in the morning. ( Collin McKraeger, you owe me three gold next time I see you ^u^ I didn't see you at your car before leaving my self)
+Helping Wolfegar learn Cold Fortitude, by casting Wild blade on Creed's sword
+the alchemy mod, and beign either at Illana's side or next to Alister the entire time(except when I went to make sure Klidon was alright.)
+ The return and spread of the Out of Character damage ( fun damage!)
+Realizing after I took off my character out fit that I was sweating the entire weekend, and that I had too many layers on to be cold.
+As I was changing people asking my Facebook, and the entire room jumping up and going "You're that guy!?"
+having a costume that was more than just black.  Thank you for the costuming help Adi!

Lowlights:
Cold

Highlights:
- Elven Holiday - I sobbed for 45 minutes and I couldn't have done it with out all the people there. Kudos to everyone on the RP and making my "empathy" to people that much more believable....however my nose and eyes hurt after that.
- The danger of this month. I died twice...though I'd not like to make it a constant thing, it's good to feel afraid in a place that's suppose to be scary.
- Saturday spread. I'm happy that I got to make all the people, who last time made me feel totally out of place and rude for not bringing anything, the same way because they couldn't contribute.
- Healer mod. I wait to see where this ends up.
- Not knowing anything about the plot. This is kinda a lowlight too as I was fighting off a cold, and now have a worse cold, and so I was out of it and because of this I couldn't keep up with anything. But at the same time it's a highlight because sometimes I don't always have to know what's going on.
- Dying twice...okay, so this would be a lowlight to some. But to me it's part of the game and both were very fair and accurate deaths. I'm glad I only have to come out of the focus once.
- The look on Sam's face when I told him OOG that I died at the Howling Void cause he thought I didn't come with them.
- Talking with different PCs to find out what they thought of Caladonia and their Lord. *snicker*
- Having the RP this month, thanks to dying and other things, to solidify my choice for my next profession!


That's all I can think of right at this moment. I'm going back to bed!
