April 2010 Highlights!

Oh, man, what a good feeling to be back at Shehawqua...

Friday night - Boss tells me it's OK to go to KR that night, instead of staring a computer Sat. morning waiting for an email that something went wrong at work.  I had my iPhone, I kept an eye on my email during the game (discretely, of course), and nothing went wrong.

Drive out on Friday - Is that SNOW coming down?  Son of a....

Being able to set up the Forge in full again.

Having a cabin full of people.  Chuckling to myself OOG at the fact I'm staying with 4 wild mages, although I don't know it IG.

Giving Hamish his new toy.

Saturday - warm weather, at last!

The new Coffee Pot of Brazen!

Walking in to see Antrim finish a Sorcery ritual - very, very impressive RP.  I am always amazed at these things I rarely get to see.

Teaching.  More Teaching.  New Smiths.  More Teaching.  Mages' Guild Meeting.  Did I mention more teaching?

Realizing I am the de facto Enchantment teacher for Bards.

Finally opening my first Higher List as Gideon - after 5 years playing him.  Yes, you can go for over 5 years and still be effective without a higher list!

Mug, post-game.  Always a good time.

As I told Vince, post-game, I somehow managed not to be involved in the Plot at all, again... but I still had fun.  It's a testament to the game and it's players that even without being involved in plot, one can still have a good time and awesome RP.

Friday in my mind: This better be petals.

Saturday: Highlight: Being able to sing at the feast.
Highlight: The special wine (cider)

Sunday: The map is a lie! ((note: It dose need correcting on where the Kalimore bathroom is, it says it should have been next to where I was staying))

It was really just good to be back after a long while gone it's indescribable...

Highlights:

1.) Got to see everyone I've been missing IG and OOG (aka the barbarians and the YHATZIS! )

2.) Got lots of service points from extra NPC shift and feast clean up.

Surprisingly a lot of my favorite times were in NPC Highlights.....

1.) Being Grim Guardians on gank shift (shift after main mod) we were really nice... not over powered but just right and we worked together and had fun role playing it, also it was nice I wasn't dieing from out of nowhere in 2 hits.

2.) Taking extra NPC shift for the high level main mod.

3.) marching out to main mod yelling with Gwar (very funny btw guys nice job)

4.) Looking over the horizon to the Inn for main mod and the 1st thing I see is Malyc, the Baron, and two others dressed as Kiss.... seriously I didn't know if I should run away and fear the hard glam rock or get angry that they found our weakness (very very very nice guys)

5.) Being an Ogre on Gank shift with another Ogre and talking about who we would attack, then picking the nice "shiny one" (the Baron) and then getting hit about 5 times and running away screaming "YOU CAN KEEP YOUR SHINES!"

Lowlights:

1.) sleeping almost all Friday night

2.) Not being able to talk to Emar much about becoming Enaxian, and then talking and not giving the right answer.

I also knew only a fraction about the actual plot and I will admit, I still had a lot of fun. I was pretty low this month and this really helped out. Great work guys

Friday:
...Snow? Really?
-Lots of people came to Ilana asking about how it was like as a wildmage. I love RPing that and explaining her different views. At least people learn she's not biased.

Saturday:
-Spending about an hour trying to find the Pendarvin meeting and turns out... it was actually in Pendarvin *facepalm*
-Worked a few extra shifts in the inn for free but not minding so much.... though I didn't get pay for any of my actual shifts either...
-Being baptized to Galladel. Jimbob, you are an amazing RPer, need to hang out more.
-called 'wildmage caretaker' by several people. Not sure if I should consider this good or not... probably not.
-Lots of work during main mod. Yay Physician!
-KISS and GWAR... I wish I had been there to see it.

Sunday:
NPC: Death fiend- Running away from Erdrick while he was distracted to hide in the shadow of a tree... and Seamus just walking down the path right there to see me... really? REALLY?    I had fun. Also, 38 bane? 
-Mal, you did a very good job with mass
-almost had a phase spider statue. Forgot about displacement.
-There's a difference between wildmage hunters and child killers.

I had fun.  Many thanks to Steve B., Joe & MB, Ryan & Kristen, Andy & Jackie, Dougal, Beardo, Alex, Jason, Charna, Malcolm M., Mike S., Emily G., and Tom S..  Each of you had a part in my enjoyment of this weekend.

If I seemed stand-offish, or didn't interact so much with folks... it was just me having "1 of my days". 

Still, it was a fun event... I learned many things, stood corrected on what I thought was a joke, and made some strides towards my character's future.

To Jenna L., we finally made that deal.  I will use my new throwing daggers with much fun.

i am exhausted, and will post tomorrow.  The arms of Morpheus await me.

However, I want to say that in the space of 20 seconds I both caused a Satyr to blush and recoil in disgust.  Yes I am rather proud of that moment.
