October Highlights

one thing, and one thing only:

"Riddle of Confusion"

"resist"

"......I have to arrest you now, Oryx."

"but...but...but...you shouldn't have said that in the first place!"



*squeak squeak*

It was nice coming back after about 2 years and 8 months of being absent. While I can't say I'll be back monthly like I'd like to, I'll certaintly be around more often. Probably more in the warmer months, because face it, driving in snow is .

Honestly, it was amazing seeing everyone again. All of the IG and OOG hugs made this event like a homecoming.

I don't know if you got the message, but it was Officially the unofficial KR Oldertimers Event. In a way, it felt like I never left(except for the 100 some old people who had started playing in my absence. I feel bad I couldn't remember most anyones names, but there was just too many!)

A couple highlights :

Being the unofficial leader of the Healer triage. Josalin realizing from this its time for her to stop being a kitten, and grow up and take her place in the town. Trying to figure out how she's going to tell Solomon he has to stop treating her like a kitten..

Bringing Kamen back through the focus. After a few seconds of panic and worry that I wasn't going to remember how to do it, pulling off the perfect ress. Thank you again Derrick for one of the best resurrections that I have ever done.

Dragging Josalin's ward around with her everywhere. He was probably the only reason she stayed out of trouble and didn't get killed or tortured.

There is just too much to say about what happened this weekend. I love you all, and I can't wait to come back again.

Such a good weekend! Sorry it took so long to put up I've been away  

Highlights:
Friday
- How surprisingly easy it is to not be seen as Drow, laying not an inch from the path and not being seen! Excellent RPing from the people tortured in the inn by us as well.
- Danny's quiet/scary NPC (Also contributing to the Drow moment in the inn)

Saturday
- FINALLY getting to play my hobbit Oska! It went fantastically, I can't thank you all enough for the amazing RPs (There are too many people to name!) I had and not to mention the food I received was good too
- Getting to meet more of the Darkheart family (Killor & Josalin)
- Those at the table know what I mean when I say "Stoooooooooooooop"
- Rasha having a difficult lesson from Solomon   Even when he was scolding me I couldn't stop laughing to save my life!
- Main mod was pretty epic, the field looked amazing! Only down side being all those silly holes around there and the fact that I started freezing halfway through it and it seemed to take foreverrr but it was good

Lowlights:
- Mostly just the freezing cold that put a damper on the event but these things can't be helped Not looking forward to winter *shiver*

Goose and Stompin' Jake for the win - that was one excellent feast.  Next time, be louder with your announcement as to portions, Goose.

Teaching from all four of my professions and one higher list.

Good RP with lots of people.  In addition to my favs, there was lots of good stuff with newbs.  

Believing Paetros was leading me down the primrose path vis a vis his suggestions on how to treat the Gypsy Queen.  Etiquette for the win.

With all the above, not burning through my initial valance armor
Not using any BC skills
Not having to invoke skills from items once each period started.

Sometimes, a game does not have to be played to a conclusion for the lesson to be learned.

Giving some unsolicited advice to Fr. LaBelle, who despises Edwin.  However, it was good advice and he took it.  Will be ineresting to see how it develops after his public denouncement.

LUIS - the return of the Jedi.

Explaining to Chris G that he will get more beads as he becomes more Shen-like.

Resolving a matter of petty theft to everyone's satisfaction.

Finishing a three month research project which will in turn allow me to do more research.  

Some nice moments with Rob G.

Mixolydia grumbling about the cost of Applejack Reserve.  Edwin telling her it will be free if it is not, in her estimation, worth the cost.  Watching her face as she realized she will have to pay.  Always a pleasure, Jenn.


Mass with at least 9 separate races.  Ethan, Kwildar and I have distinctive styles which combined nicely.

Receiving a Magisterial ruling - finally

Tina actually at Market Faire - "I need some gold to buy food."    Is ife grand or what?

Using various methods to soothe Kwildar after he met some slavers.  Sometimes, being uncomfortable is the best thing.

Others as well, but they must flow to me.

There was a lot of good that came of this event, but then again, I have come to expect as much in my short time here at KR with everyone else.

Friday Night:

+ Got to spend some more time with my character's potential future wife, Luminista. Always a good thing.
+ Used as a taste tester for the various new Blackbird Ales. Anytime you need a guinea pig, let me know mate.
+ Was able to get dinner going without too many interruptions up until Low Level mod.
+ The shepard's pies I made went over rather well from what I am told, despite the potatoes not reheating through all the way.
+ Low level mod was awesome yet again, thanks Wally. I really feel like Seámus is coming into his own these last couple events.
+ Awesome RP with The Count, Sir Cinder, his other knight (forgot your name, so sorry), Raphael and Utgard.

Saturday:

+ Recieved a Mithril 1HE from Chris G.'s Khitan (whom I can never seem to remember the name of) in exchange for a free tab on truffles.
+ The sheer bulk of awesome food at Market Fair and the continual success of my truffle recipies. The best compliment I think I have gotten came from the Baron and Ethan, you guys know how to make someone feel proud of their work.
+ Had yet another nice chat with Gideon about random things and his hammer. Nothing earth shattering, just a nice chat.
+ The second half of low level mod, again, awesome job from everyone involved. Sad that Oren died, but, we at least did what we could for him.
+ Feast was just awesome, thank you Goose.
+ Main mod was some good fun, despite the cold and as said before, the field looked great. Just next time PCs... herd yourseves there in a more timely fashion,  
+ Interesting RP with Luminista's brother Sergei... "Like a HAWK Celtboy..."

Sunday:

+Kaledonia pot-luck breakfast featuring baked goods, taters and chocolate.
+ Being baptised along with Bran and Amalthea to Galladell. Also had a large IC burden lifted at the same time. Again, thanks Goose.


The only lowlight I can think of is the sheer lack of sleep I got all weekend.

Just a few BUT FIRST
The BEST HIGHLIGHT was seeing Luis at the gas station before the event . I'm glad you made it through the darkness my brotha. You were missed.

The BEST rp even in a long time. Getting a vision of Klarington and some RP narrated by james.

The Morwenne Exemplar ritual was honestly one of the most well played, off the cuff rp I have seen in ANY ritual. The Dungeon Master Joe B painted some SICK visuals for us and made it EASY to rp. Mike, Kenny, Alicia, and Joe you guys are the BEST.

Building the guild back up and the Sorcerers coming to the conclusion that we don't NEED teachers because we should be the next group to lead the students was UNREAL. PC driven takeover and establishment through awesome rp BEATS THE HELL out of super npc BS ANY DAY.

A FANTASTIC conversation with Amalthea about her religious experience:

me: Galladell is the god of permanent death. We see it that NO one desecrates a body...by any means.

Laura: (the SLICKEST grin spreads across her face**...I Like the way that sounds..
Kudos girl!


Having another out of game conversation about the NEED for an awards banquet. BRING IT BACK.

See you guys in December!
