July 2010 Highlights

Lastly, a HUGE thank you to the kitchen staff who, throughout the event kept everyone hydrated as well as possible, put up with our rowdy shenanigans, fed us, cleaned up after us, and were generally made of win and cookies.  Thank you all.

This deserves some reiteration.  The folks who man our kitchen throughout the weekend.  You guys are a true highlight for me.  You are definitely 'made of win'.  I'm not sure of the 'cookies' part.  They're evil, as Kwildar will attest.

Playing Osred for the entire weekend, and only being asked to go OOC for an hour three times to do research... and one of those times the storyteller let me off easy since there was nothing to find out, and no since sitting OOC for an hour to find out nothing (I've done that before)

The Friday Night Mod... definitely Michael Smith wanted the jump in there, but Osred wouldn't let him.  
Talking with Pesmerga... always interesting.  Afterwards, someone said, "Who was that?" I replied "Pesmerga" they, astonished exclaimed "And you were talking to him?"  To which Osred stated "It is important to get the story from all sides in order to determine what the truth is."

I think Radu had asked Osred something like "Aren't you afraid you're going to die?"
Osred: "I'm not afraid of Death, I cannot die, I will live forever in the Great Story."

Talking to Sister Celestine
"Osred, you have no position with me anymore."
"Sister Celestine, if I could ask one favor then.  Say good bye to me."
Sister Celestine turns and walks away with out saying a word.
The Baron sees me just seconds after.
"Osred are you alright?"
With hesitent voice, "Yes, I am"
"Osred, I've seen that look on men's faces before.  The look of having to bear witness to terrible things that no man should ever see."
Osred the master of his emotions? "I am.. fine."

Talking to Arden about the role of Chroniclers:
Arden "That's not what we are suppose to do, we're supposed to help people."
Osred "No, we're not.  We are suppose to observe and chronicle, not interfere."

Awesome expert identification session... spent the entire hour actually getting information, not an hour out of character to get 5 minutes worth of info!! Kudos James!!

Just had a great time this event!!  I'll see everyone again in September!

Arden "That's not what we are suppose to do, we're supposed to help people."
Osred "No, we're not.  We are suppose to observe and chronicle, not interfere."

Yep. Something like that. Ilana still thinks Osred's the best though even if she can't be half as neutral as he is


My highlight was being told the short version of Friday night:
"7 Demons, 2 Arch-Devils, 2 True Warlocks, and a Pesmerga in a Pear Tree"

Only need to wait out one month. August event is the weekend I'm moving back >< It pains me

Why throw all the demons out when I'm not there! Sounds like it was a blast. Good job everyone!

Well first off its great being back. Thanks to everyone who made me feel welcomed back.

Highlights:
I love Malyc! There I said it, you wanna fight about it?!?
Awesome rp with EVERYONE who wound up in the Hookah tent. Much fun.
Spiritual talk with the Baron & the light Clergy. Man did I feel awkward but it rocked.
Being with old & new friends and enjoying their company IG & OOG.
1st Brazen Mass. I think it was good but I swear I saw some folks nodding off. Just like real church!!
Larry Brew!!!
Thrusting my lightning sword into the air and an immediate lightning flash happens. Followed by Seamus & Orion trying to get me to NOT do that again so we don't get struck.

See you all next month.

Friday: Pre-event

Meeting a bunch of new people before the event and getting to know them OOG.

Help two lost souls get around the camp.

Lay On:

Making a pact with both Peatros and Luna to protect a mage lacking in memories, and being cursed if I failed.

Hanging out at the inn, then seeing devil.

Forming a shield wall with Wolfgar against said devils.

Screaming retreat after said devils walked WAY too close.

Asking Magnus to train me as a witch hunter, and pondering how to answer his question for two days.

Saturday:

Being woken up by a horde of demons and fighting them off in nothing but a wifebeater and briefs.

Getting dressed, then serving drinks at the bar.

The drinking games in the Inn.
  Travantian Drinking Game
      Rule 1: If you get hit, take a drink.
      Rule 2: If you die, take a drink.
      Rule 3: If you take a drink, take a drink!

Going out and protecting the "Littlest Ranger" as she gathered blueberries.

Feast!

Main Mod:

Being a flaming pile of pissed off (aka Infernus) for Main Mod

Recycling like 8 times. Exhausting, but so fun.

Sleeping at midnight on the dot

Sunday: NPC Shift

Sleeping in till 9:30.

hualling a** to get to my shift.

Seeing Chris's dancing.

RP'ing sick lizard kin, and having a great RP with Diane on how to be a druid.

THANK YOU CHRIS FOR BRINGING ENSLAVED ICE ELEMENTAL!!!

I loathe the heat, and it helped me survive the weekend.

Thank you everyone who returned bottles, refilled them and passed them out all weekend.  In the heat, this was really important to keep up - keeping everyone hydrated.

Thanks to all volunteers who helped create, set up, serve, and most of all, clean up feast. 
We had everything cleaned in less than an hour - even in the heat.

I was astounded at the natural special effects and lighting for Main Mod - I could tell the bad guys from my allies.  I was actually able to shoot a lot of arrows at folks.

berry picking with the littlest Ranger was fun - teaching her how to find berries on the bushes was a lot of fun.

The Sunday RP with the lizard kin was great - and their willingness to have one of their members learn to be a druid, and actually going through the RP of teaching him. . . was the highlight of me weekend.
