July 1-3 Highlights

WOW what a weekend.... can barely move... Time flew by (probably due to having attended a week in the life last month)

Highlights:  Goley as the Anti-Paladin... By the Gods I wanted to slay him
Helping so many new members in Travance
My incapacitate lesson (sorry Krim)
Realizing how much build I had saved
FEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My new shield courtesy of Templar Nightwing
NPC shift was just epic
Now being a member of the clergy

Lowlights: Rolling my ankle badly 2 minutes into the main mod fight
Rain
The incredibly LONG and strenuous Lore: Divinity lesson
Being physically exhausted beyond reason

Even though I got to attend part of Week in the Life, this was the first "full" event I've attended in a while.  It felt good to be back...

Highlights:

• Finally, I have access to Brazen Prayers!
• MEND!  No more waiting in line for simple fixes!
• "Don't drive off, the bear will climb into James' car and drive after you..."
• The Winterdark Cabin looks amazing - thank you, Doug!
• So... Many... Students...  Not enough time to teach them all!  I love you guys, but I think I need to tell all the Liches / Warlocks / Demons to GTFO so I can keep teaching you all.
• Ear Snippage.  Bad, IG, a lot of fun, OOG.  Best comment- "Geoff, you don't have your ears on... (*realization*) and I don't think you forgot them."
• Feast was amazing!  Thank you, Kelly!
• "Gideon, Gustav is right behind you..."  "Huh?"  (*Liam peers over my shoulder*)
• Gideon's internal monolouge: "Maybe I should cast Suppress Magic on her before she..." *BOOM*
• Mass: For something off the cuff, it went pretty well.  I need to begin scripting them out, now.
• "Where is everyone?"  "Oh, something came up at the waterfront."  (An hour later) "Wait, what - Baby Hydras?"

Hello, finally got to stay a whole event.

Friday- fighting a ton of undead.

Saturday morning- waking up to go do NPC shift.

NPC Shift- Going out as Chaos Warrior Berserkers looking for a wand for Dakken, then went out as very weak goblins like 15 or 20 BP goblins. Then going out to do a very Noah's Ark-like mod. There were 2 ogres, 2 trolls, 2 wolves, and 2 elemntals all together with each matching creature.

Saturday Afternoon- We had to fight Hydra babies. I saved 5 peoplke from critical including Magnus, Lethias, and the Baron. I was pretty much done for healing with maybe like 2 or 3 HP left. Some magic eating creature was around. Killing some sort of devil.

Main Mod- Went to the Monestary with the Baron to find directions to go to Winterdark then coming back. We saw an Astral Juggernaut and we quickly entered the Monastery. Archbishop LaBelle and Father Haroldson were in there trying to figure out what to do. Then we hear kn ocks from a PC sent to bring us to the inn. Yea, when there was an Astral Juggernaut outside. We then left to be relieved when it wasnt there. We went to the inn to find out that it was overrun by a horde of undead including the Kinslayer, The Lich and I think the Necromantic Genasi(I dont really know what else to call it), the black sorcerer, and Matthus the anti-paladin. I heard from Ilservian that he literally left for a moment to do something while groups were being organized and when he came back the groups already left leaving the inn for the obvious attack on the inn.

Sunday- Waking up to kill elemtals. Headed to the inn and soon had to fight maybe like 30 ogres total.(I actually run into battle rather than stay away during my younger years.) And of course it was raining. Last event was so much better with the weather aspect.

Finally got to stay longer than a single day/afternoon for an event.  Normally I don't play during the summer as my fat butt can't take the heat, but it was great to come out & see everyone.

Saturday Day
1. Seeing all my friends is always a great highlight.
2. Getting in right when fresh bruschetta was being served in Alisandria. Ah, timing...  
3. Fighting wolves, goblins... always nice fallback mooks to kill.

Saturday Night
1. Dinner at Homestead. Chicken Fried Steak? Hellz Yeah!  
2. Nice dinner discussion to help me realize a few things... always a great learning time.
3. NPCing Main Mod... templates galore.
3a. Goley: So attack the town by hitting various spots & force them to group together so by 11, they all are in the Inn.
    NPCs: Ok.
   (After the 1st battle, the entire town merges together at the monastery & falls back to the Inn).
   Goley: Wow... that worked really well... 2 hours EARLY.  OK, new plan, attack the Inn since everyone is in there.
    (Turns around & sees the entire town leaving the Inn.)
   NPCs:..... um.....
   Goley: Um... ok, take over the Inn & wait for the town to return.
3b. Attacking the Inn only to find all the non-combat players & Janus by themselves.  I felt really bad right then & there.
3c. Taking over the Inn & DECIMATING everyone inside of it.
4. Fighting the town. Lots of impressive moves & seeing people work hard.
5. Post NPC shift shower. Ahhh...
6. Late night roast beef.  Mmmmm...

Sunday
1. Getting to walk & explore the camp in the rain wasn't fun, but it showed me a whole new side of the place I rarely get to see.
2. Sunday morning A/C & snacking on more beef. Can't argue with that.
3. Discussions & fun with lunch at the Homestead. Mmm...

Some Highlights:
Feeling safe on the roads for some reason
Being at the Stump during main mod and subsequently ruining a group of NPC's with itching powders.
Ming's great great great uncle sending some people ahead. Looking forward to the follow up on this.
Playing an NPC farmer with a broken leg on friday and using the wooden crutch in logistics
Finally making my only invisibility potion so far and using it to carry the rickshaw down to the Stump. The looks from people were entertaining.
There are more, but it was exhausting weekend.

Lowlights:
Jazzercizing with Chris and Dan during the thunderstorm.
Mosquitoes. I have never been so itchy.

Well this is my first event and wow, im hooked.

I came in as Zahir's brother which did wonders for me.

I met many people that i hear alot about.

Copious amounts of fighting, that while i was not entirely useful i was able to meat shield a 70 body attack that was in the direction of Lady Abendroth.

Oh and well i became Sir Aleister Darkheart's Squire.

It was good...
