August 2010 Highlights

Major highlight - leaving at 4 Saturday afternoon, driving to AC for my 40th HS reunion, and returning at 1 AM.

Light Clergy mod had OK fighting, but was truly a tour de force of RP.

Noticing the ceremonial nature of the defense around Holdstaff, I asked Doug if the Ceremony of Dispelling can be done silently, to which he said yes.  Grabbed Jackie A to assist me, put an arm around her waist, and told her to follow my lead.  Halfway through, Ben (Tirsen) says to me "Father Edwin, this would be a great time to use that Ceremony you discovered."

<<NPC shift was really awesome this weekend, getting turned good by Mr.Director himself and fighting along side the PC's and then 20 mins later being grabbed by the throat as a new NPC and have James make me take 500 DIVINE!  "Your body goes up in flames">>

I had been fighting the above, when I witnessed my second bona fide miracle.  My research platter will be full for some time.

Intense scene with Fr. Morgan/Goose, in which I used Willpower to control my temper

Teaching a BC skill to Aleister while the two of us took a walk trolling for muggers.

Master Teaching Lore:  Lycanthropes to three others

Walking with the Baron who told me an execution was impending, either Misaki or Toravisu, he was not certain.  I explained they look very different and he should be certain which is guilty, as it would be poor form to execute the wrong person.

Excellent scene with Toravisu when he heard about the almost mix-up. 

Finding a way to use Light Prayers like artillery to punch holes in an opponent's line.

Feeding Jeff/Aradial a platter of meat Sunday morning.  Expressive face.

Getting to sleep 9 PM Sunday, after having 6 hours from Friday 9AM until then.

Will probably remember more later.

Master Teaching Lore:  Lycanthropes to three others

Walking with the Baron who told me an execution was impending, either Misaki or Toravisu, he was not certain.  I explained they look very different and he should be certain which is guilty, as it would be poor form to execute the wrong person.

The Lycanthrope lesson was greatly appreciated.  And Misaki...executed?!  * holds own throat*

Guys, I was so glad to see old friends and make new ones.  I'm really happy that people weren't afraid to interact with my character in all her ridiculousness!

Werlydd:  Time to fight the evil spiders!
NPC Spider gives a quizzical look at my left hand full of chicken drumstick....
Werlydd:  No, it's okay.  Haven't you ever heard of chicken florentine?

Werlydd:  I was going to go to cleric school, but Mom and Dad said I was too dumb.  So I went to cavalier school instead.
Sorel:  You weren't too dumb for cavalier school?
Werlydd:  No, they gave me a manual.
Gorfen:  So what did you learn from the manual?
Werlydd:  Rule 1: Face pointy side towards evil.
Sorel:  That's a good cavalier school!

Trading epic food with Bran!

-Dwarven Snack Time is officially more awesome than Hobbit Second Breakfast.

Friday Night:

-Presenting Ninjin with his new armor
-From the forge, seeing the sky light up with a brilliant flash and going to investigate with Mae Fong. After finding out the flash was related to things that, as a Khitan, I dont quite accept or understand, we took a stroll toward the waterfront, and stumbled upon the low levels and their portal. .....Right as someone hits the altar.
-The subsequent retreat from the demons in the portal.
-Somehow this is a highlight, but getting attacked a bajillion times by undead until stupid o'clock in the morning. My undead bane sword is so broken-in now, that I don't think I need to kill one for about the next 4 months. I was so delirious that at around 4 am I was struck with uncontrollable giggles when a ghost kept coming back to our campsite going "ooooooooooooo." I completely lost it again mid-battle when he showed up again doing the same thing right in the middle of the battle field as though it wasn't going on.

Saturday:

-Getting woke up by master Shen and then walking around the long way to the Inn and having an enlightening conversation about leadership and the current atmosphere of events surrounding the Khitanese,
-WONTONS! Apologies to everyone that didn't get one, i know i was making alot of people hungry but i will more than likely be bringing them back for Market Faire next month  
-The Meeting of the Khitan
-Seeing Kamei get captured by gnoll and rallying a group to go rescue the prisoners. Being absolutely out for blood during the attack on their camp. Great Role-play with Kamei afterward where she managed to calm Baoyu; kudos to Shan.
-Feast, though there was not enough
-Going out as a group of skeleton before main mod.
-Main mod playing a demonic Troll and hitting Sorel with Freeze ground every chance I got.  
-SLEEP

Sunday
-Sunday was gloomy, but searching for Yoshimatsu, his interrogation, and his execution.
-Yoshi's funeral and its effect on the Khitan.

Misaki, Yoshimatsu - what's in a name?

Everything.
