Drumbadon: "Mmm, I wonder what they taste like."

Hiro: "I don't think that's a good idea."

Drumbadon: "Oh yeah?! And why not?"

Hiro: "They're half as big as you, and bright orange."

Highliights:

1) Friday night Cardinal/Barbarian meeting mod. We knew it was a trap, walked into it, faced uber outrageous barbarian demonoids, and all chaos ensued. I LOVE when the super powers have to run. It was AWESOME to have everyone scattered, somewhat scared and seriously wondering who was missing and bleeding out in the dark. Great angst.
2) Being told by Shalok and the Baron on two different occasions during the friday night mayhem to hold a path by myself while the various groups tried to find eachother. I didn't think this was wise (two is a better number as if one gets jumped, its more likely the second can run for help) but we were scattered and facing seriously tough creatures. I was pretty honored that I was trusted, or thought to be tough enough (or maybe I was just expendable...lol)
3) Meeting some new Pendarvin people, and seeing the group start to grow a little.
4) Getting swamped for smithing requests, always fun, but not so much I couldn't get out and about and join in on the plot
5) RP'ing with some new people
6) Having two different groups of people come up to me for help with...ahem...problems. Helping them get justice (or moving that ball forward).
7) Dougal, good team work. We'll do more of that
Truly starting the path towards learning a higher list, and by someone who I think turned out to not only be the perfect choice, but will make it awesome rp'ing. Looking forward to it Matt.
9) Being approached by Vince & Steve when they needed someone for an important mod role. I hope I did it well, and I appreciate the confidence. Anytime fellas.
10) Compliments aplenty on my garb and armor, thank you for them all. Still working on stuff as $ allows and also time heh. Old school larp/crew of mine lived by the edict..you could be uber...but it didn't matter unless you also looked cool. Words to live by...words to live by.
11) Nice feedback on the amulets/brooches I'm making. Gonna be taking that to another level for any of the households that want them

Lowlights

1) Having to leave early when I was having so much fun. Working Sundays sux (at least its for the Jets!).
2) Near total lack of sleep Fri eve (cold, people who yap all night lol). Thank goodness for multiple 5 hour energies lol. Next time I'll just slap on a dozen caffeine patches heh.
3) COOOOOOLD. Bathroom....cold.....bathroom, cold.....decisions, decisions.
4) Bringing good cold weather gear...not bringing a sleeping bag. Sigh...
5) Having a leather item I made not fit properly. I never want a customer walk away unhappy, and there simply won't be a first time. It'll get done right!
6) taking a diving roll when I ran to the forge to help when it was attacked, and totally lost balance during the full tilt run. A nice landing at least in the roll out...though the french judge only gave it a 7.5, lol. Aging sux. Thankfully I was wearing a ton of armor, god I love the stuff.

Looking forward to the next event!!!

• I loved late night NPC shift.  Running as a Grim Guardian covered in latex scars and horns was a blast.  I actually saw some looks of fear or concern before combat began (even with some high leveled PCs).  Thanks to everyone who complimented the latex/scars/makeup.

YES! Loved, loved, loved every minute of it!

Nah, that was last year's February event
Drumbadon was awesome.

Awesome second event for me. As expected, I was able to get much more involved than I was last month, and as a result, had an even better time of it.

Highlights
-Some great RP with various celts and gypsies over the course of the entire event. Ashling and Paetros were exceptionally fun to talk to.
-Meeting more goblins! Iz'tel was great. "Remember to always waylay responsibly." 
-Showing up to defend Kaladonia from barbarians. Billiam with 3 broken limbs seeing me and going "Goblin! Carry me back to the fight!" He'd attack something with his one good arm, they'd defend and turn their back to me. Great synergy there.
-Finally meeting some characters that could become very essential to my development.
-Awesome sparring with Cyric, learning how to parry a polearm with a dagger is win.
-The return of my Sack o' Jerky(tm)...had a couple people fighting over getting some
-Hearing quite a few people tell Winks that he's their favorite goblin, sometimes in front of the other goblins...talk about awkwardly awesome...
-Main Mod combat was loads of fun, even though I went down twice...might be time to buy some more body points hehe
-Learning how to read with Lois Maxwell "A is for Ale, B is for Beer..."
-NPC shift Sunday was loads of fun with my lizardkin poisoner, but Kamen hits hard lol
-Good conversations after the event both during cleanup and at the Mug

See everyone in May!
