May 2011 highlights

Highlights:
playing the glommite priest again and once again somehow blending in with everyone else, even though I rotted the tongues out of several casters, and cut a dwarf's beard off *evil grin*

Resolving all of my lizardkin encounters with food, and even causing a raiding party to help another group to help fight off a group of elementals.

Geoff's reaction when I told him that my character opened up smith.

And getting to see all of the awesome people at KR again

Lowlights:

Never want to play something that has claws again, every time I do so I end up hitting at least one person in the groin by accident.

Spending all of Saturday with mild food poisoning, and a bruised knee.


Narrowly missing two skunks on the way home

WOW where to start....

Highlights
- Getting back to my other family/home that is Knight Realms!
- Thank you one & all for your help in setting up as well as braking down the
  Bloody Stump INN which by all accounts was a Bloody success!
- Seeing people take the 5 & 10 gold drinking challenge at the Stump
- Zander winning the 10 gold challenge
- Doing the 5 gold challenge & winning ....then losing ( visiting the vomit-toreum )
- Hydra on a bun whet over very very well
- Being interrogated by slightly sane Billum great RP
-Hanging out with the Barron & many other Nobles & important movers and shakers in Travance in the newest seedy INN in Travance.
-Great time with the Pirates...  

Lowlights

-Having the spring in my step sprung (beyond sour )
-Getting lost on the way home ( Tom Tom went insane )
-Diabetes acting up
- Still not getting time to hang out with some peeps at game but seeing them here and there.

PS. Thank you Gus,Gab,Cris S,Andy if not for you our dream of the Bloody Stump would have stayed a pipe dream. You guys putt in a LOT of time $$ & effort & it was not over looked thank you much!

I just had to add one highlight quote that just came to mind I forget who said it but I loved it.

NPC?: I heard that if you cut off a dwarfs' beard it'll grow back in full by Morning.
Dwarf: It doesn't even take that long! *cuts off own costume beard to reveal his own beard underneath* "See its growing back already!

*cracks knuckles* All righty... Here goes a lot of stuff, in no particular order:

Experiencing Andorra's mercy pretty much right after lay on: Getting dragged out and limbs broken by a Glommite devil-y-thing, tossed to servants, screaming for help until their priest rotted my tongue, being offered to the archdevil and terrified... but deemed useless! The servants didn't want to kill me or even make me bleed, so they just left me to rot by the barracks! Then Magnus comes and finds me, and brings me inside to heal (myself and others)! If there was anyone who was smiled on that night, I have to have been among them.

Spending about a half- to an hour without a tongue, trying to inform the guards of what I knew, and make them be a little more cautious when inviting strangers into the barracks. And an extra thanks to the Baron for healing my tongue... I hoped the offer of wine later on helped make up for that.

Paperwork was fun, lots of roleplay NPC stuff, getting to act drunk was pretty hilarious. I'll have to continue doing that.

All my lessons were great: Gwynedd expressed healing with quite visible emotion, even while managing to maintain our privacy, and Lethias and Solomon were also great teachers, even when the lessons themselves arose out of incredibly silly situations. I'd actually thought I'd have to get Fate to intercede on my behalf to learn Climb and Escape... but when Solomon saw me trying to learn to climb on my own... he interceded first.

The lessons I gave were excellent, as well: Teaching teach thrice, Detect Life, and Literacy: Bedouin, the latter letting me show off a bit in Hebrew Each of my students was quite attentive to their lesson, and I expect each of them will find uses for their new skills, especially the teachers. I even got to help with and observe several other lessons, including Zander's main lessons for the moon.

Working with the Order full-on for the first time was excellent. The Path of Passion was the knee-jerk choice... after having taken vows to Andorra just hours before. The best parts, though, were when I led a blinded Amalthea to take our places at the pressure pad and stepped together (quite confident we were correct, thanks to a wonderfully intelligent team) to get our group through a riddle, and after goddamn Displacement saved me from a Roundhouse - Body Block from the fire construct, following Lucien to back him, Bel, and a fallen fighter up... but without the advantage of the Cloak of Shadows that Lucien had. I'm even becoming better at making the decision to potion, salve, or sparkle! It's relevant, I promise!

And speaking of which: After searching for a day and a half for an Andorran clergy member with a lot of free time, finally getting to play out an extremely lengthy ethical and allegorical discussion with Father Kwildar and Mother Ilona leading up to
Na'ar's baptism! only an hour or so after mass... no big deal... I didn't need that Mass Resist anyway...

Right.

Hanging out with Gypsies and Celts is still always fun. I did not, however, get to spend enough time with my friend Derelith... but taming and releasing the children of the Tamaril the town ate at the feast and taking a walk down to the Stump before needing to flee and tell the town that the other inn was being besieged by Glommites was pretty darn cool.

The barbarian and the ogres on Sunday... Sir Lyle cutting off *my freaking arm* and tossing me a heal... and then the barbarian cutting down Carlotta before I could intervene. I really wish she'd gone after me with that Insult... because (and even with a Self-Control and a Patience to back me up, I would probably have taken the Insult eventually) I literally had *no means* of attacking her, and it wouldn't have done a damned thing. I did end up having an alternate plan of dealing with her... but I had to explain to the guards what *really* happened, before the barbarian tried to attack me, too, or Carlotta got charged with assault. I actually had a moment of panic when I realized my original plan for getting the barbarian out of the room while I gave the situation to the guards wouldn't work... why would she want another bottle of ale, when she had one literally in hand! It got better, though... Carlotta got healed, she recovered from the insult, and the barbarian got tossed out of town... and I got a lesson out of it!

Doing a *lot* of stupid wandering with only one person for company... but now I'm pretty sure I have a few more people I can trust... maybe.

Being loaded with useful things in and out of game. I got to share wine with my Gypsy friends, (who were there at the time) a good half of the Order, the Baron... I had some "insect bane" to share with the occupants of my room and a few of the Light Clergy... making sure my flask was filled with water every time I left the Inn... and I do hope the NPC's got some use out of it as well, I know I saw at least one of the aloe bottles got used.

Veggie lo-mein at feast! Well done, chefs! I had to get a second plate, but it *did* keep me going for hours after.

I feel like I might be forgetting something... what could it be... Ah well, there's always edits.

Lowlights:

Holy wow, you guys. I really wish I'd just... gone on main mod. I would totally have been back in time for the Order mod.

Thieving problems at the inn causing all sorts of IG repercussions. It really sucks that everyone's paying for this now.

Speaking of which... people have to stop leaving their weapons around... not only because of thieves, but because they promised they'd keep themselves safe. *cough*

Finally, a general thank you to everyone I interacted with at this event... I don't think I found anyone being unusually disagreeable, and I've managed to meet a lot of very friendly people, it seems. I had a lot of fun, so thanks a whole bunch ^.^

I'm not sure I've ever done one of these...

Highlights...
* The Bloody Stump Inn - my hat goes off to everyone involved.  You did a superb job of bringing the idea to life, and Rudolf looks forward to enjoying a mug there from time to time.
* Getting robbed for the first time.  Rudolf got pickpocketed.  The irony was that Wally stole a Scroll of Deep Pockets.
* Alchemy Teaching Academy.  Wow, where did all these alchemists come from?!  Teaching an endless array of hermetics, herbals, and *cough* other things to a dizzying array of new faces. And it seems we now have competing schools of thought as to whether or not berry juice or peppermint should be used to flavor potions.
* The pirate songs at Feast as well as the Feast itself.  It was my first time serving Feast and that's a lot harder than it looks.  Another of my hats goes off to the folks that do that month in and month out.
* Playing part of an unruly mob of farmers chanting "What do we want?" "DEAD DROW!" "When do we want it?" "RIGHT NOW!" and having Drak'nar walk up behind us and Cinder show up on the other side.  "Hoss, they done got us surrounded!  Run for it!"
* Later playing the same hapless bunch of hick farmers and running through the main battle near the inn screaming our fool heads off and getting waylaid by Lethias Von Ritter.  "Hey, I don't know what's wrong with him, but I just wasn't sure, so I knocked him out."
* Ming's rickshaw-by crossbowing of Sir Tirsen Crestingstar.
* Finally becoming a scholar (Yay, more giant sink holes of build!). Having Belechand recommend the arcane tradition and Father Haroldson disagreeing and saying that the divine tradition was best.
* Blessedly avoiding the rain the entire weekend and not getting soaked once.

*Cough* Belegchand sticks by his recommendation  :
