January Event Highlights

- Many of you were able to fight the Hydra, but I was able to be in its belly! So yeah, ten times cooler. 

- Excellent RP'ing with Father Hardolson (Charlie) during the early (and later) Bedouin NPC fights. "You pansies, you are letting that geezer whoop you!"

- Just fun RP'ing as a Bedouin barbarian in general.

- Fun time meeting various people in the Barracks, where I slept with my friends.

- Being able to snuggle up all warm at night, to escape the cold. You have no idea how good it felt to take off the freezing boots and just dry my feet off (or maybe you do!  )

- Feast cupcakes, with the thingie to pour on it! So scrumptious! The chicken pot pie thing was also really tasty.

- The nights not being quite as cold as I thought they would be. I didn't feel even a chill, but maybe that is because of the 4 layers I was wearing.

There's always so much that goes on during events, and so much stuff to write. I'll choose only a few things this time.

I'm still ringing out clothing... but wow what an event.  Starting with the wild mage explosions on friday (insert epic smiley face), and all the way until sunday, I was having a wonderful time.  Especially amazing conversation in the logisitics barracks on late saturday night.
Glad I'm finally on the guard. Though I hated fighting the hydra it was AMAZING


Only downside was the wetness of snow

Had a blast this event! NPCed all weekend, and died about a bazillion times   Who says NPCing isn't fun?
Highlights for me were:
1. That new song they played at the tavern feast and then again during the Main Mod when the Hydra popped out. Anyone know what it was called, and where I might get a download of it? It's kind of stuck in my head I don't remember the exact lyrics. The refrain was about marching and fighting (something like "we'll march a hundred miles and we'll fight a hundred more"), and one of the lyrics was something like "we do not fight for glory and we do not fight for gold, we fight that the future that we dream of might unfold."
2. The barbarian NPC character I for to fight as in two events. Just a lot of fun to play, and my black cloak made me look very intimidating, apparently. Was very fun, especially cause I kept tripping on the hem and falling into the snow. Cold, but entertaining!
3. Bringing 3 new people into LARPing. They all had a great time, and I hope to bring them back!

Lowlights:
1. All 3 new players got sick on Saturday. Luckily, 2 of them recovered and got to be a part of the Main Mod madness!
2. Can't think of anything else



In game name: Marcus/nameless NPC
OOG: Joe Martin

Wow, Praise be to the new Lake Hydra
Hearing all the plans for how to deal with such a thing was hilarious OOG, and worrying IG
Thanks to all my teachers, and getting to stick my head in Mage Guild affairs
Shannon for the Awesomeness of Shadows and James and Co for Picking up Gypsies by the Bar

NPCing was really fun in the snow for the Barbarians but also dangereous as I must have face planted at least twice and chin sled a good 5 feet at least once, but what made it more comfortable for me was the ability to drop more convincingly, when I knew I had a good two feet of snow to fall back into. Bleeding out has never been more interesting as it gave those not in the front ranks a chance to inspect the people they were fighting. Thanks to whomever tried to bandage me until told "no, just save the ones with blue on their faces, the black marked we want dead."

Scholars for obvious reasons, Amazar for scrutiny of paperwork, and the fun I had interviewing some of the wild mages

Can't wait for next month and Dreamation, which I fear may be my last time with you all for a long while...

- Jason

-The Great Travance Snowball Fight

"Don't worry, head shots are A-OK in my lessons"
"Really? Winks, take your glasses off!"

- Dramatic Archery is Dramatic!

Ok I don't usually post anything about my own little moments but... the real joy of archery is looking cool (I mean, really, whats the point otherwise?), and there were so many neat moments this weekend, especially Sunday morning!

Getting hit while perched on the snowplow and flinging myself off it backwards and doing a backroll. AWESOME.

After firing off all my arrows in the cave, jumping the railing and sword fighting OVER the witch hunters heads while straddling empty air between the pillar and landing. Then when the battle shifted, leaving the stability of the pillar, hooking one arm around the railing, and hanging off that for dear life on one leg while continuing to fight. I don't think it really registered how precarious my position was until the fight was over. Probably one of the most exciting moments I've had at KR.

Thanks everybody -- both IG and OOG -- who keep recycling my arrows back to me.

- "Wow, I thought you were Lizzy Stark at first" x7

- Friday night NPC shift. Based on past experiences, I'm sort of surprised and impressed that the town didn't just grease me the second time I Wild Maged all over the Inn. I had a lot of fun with it, hope you all did too.

- Main mod bonus NPC shift: I LOVED the look on peoples faces every time I popped invisibility and called Chains of Oblivion. Awesome .
