This was a fun event!

Friday: Deciding that instead of being Dorian just because it's easy, I go out as Odo.
Fighting, and sweating! Fun!
The RP while fighting and trying to corner wolves while snarling.
Having 'Lore: Lycanthropy' called on me while fighting. Maybe I was getting into Odo too much.
Enax Mass with Burgers.
A good night sleep from exhausting myself.

Saturday:
Reapplying Odo face and going out to market fair.
Kelly Sheppard's Pie was good!
Master Warrior Training
Sorel, drunk on Dwarven Ale "Every Weapon is a Spear!"
Odo "Sure. But I don't use edge weapons"
Sorel proceeds to turn spear over "See. Spear!"
Fighting elementals and imps, twice.
Shower!

Saturday Night:
I was feeling really crummy and I went out for gatorade. Bad move. Fell asleep in my car.

Sunday:
Slept in, and caught enough time to fulfill my requirement for being an RM. Always important to do what you need to do.


If it wasn't for my work calling me three times, leaving the same message about last-minute schedule changes, I wouldn't be so grumpy. Sorry again for being a sourpuss because of it to those that got rubbed the wrong way.

Had Fun, Will Odo again!

The Wolf Packs on Friday Night proved something that I keep pointing out to newer players - good RP and tactics can bring down even the most seasoned PC.  The circling wolves were true to form, and took out Gideon in short order, even if they could not get through his armor.  The RP behind that, including trying to protect Winks, was some of the best fun I'd had in a while - even at level 66, I still felt terrified by a frikkin' pack of wolves!

Mages' Guild Meeting, and the resulting RP, was fun as always.

Marshaling Sorcery - two in the Guild Hall, both failures.  One after dinner, with some excellent RP by the participants, and a few quips of my own.  Finally learning Ethan's lesson, and beginning a new chapter in Gideon's story.

Carlos is back... and DAMN, it was fun to know he'll be back on a regular basis.  Gideon is still my main, but Carlos is a welcome break from the seriousness that comes with being Gideon.  (Thank you again, Sam, for your wisdom.... )

Friday night: go to the forge to get some smith work done...broken leg and arm, go back after i get fixed...broken arm, go back a third time and another broken leg... needless to say wolf packs and trying to smith don't mix haha

Saturday: npc shift of a hoard of goblins was awesome! loved goblin singing while Tobar was trying to sing and of course saying i was the goblin leader when i was most definitely not haha. After that good lesson from Hangus and so so many silver weapons made. Main mod was a bit rough but i made it through atleast lots of roleplay and becoming a vassel of pendarven

Sunday: lots of good roleplay and i loved the celt tactic session after the imp!

lowlights: npcing for nothing but a troll for 3 hours was REALLY REALLY boring but the goblins kinda made up for it

So great to be back and a great event.

Highlights:
Friday - helping out with dispatching a pack of wolves and not getting touched.

Saying hello to more old friends that i have not seen in some time

Mother Remi trying to talk me into becoming a bard, still may happen, but all and all a fun night with the antics that ensued

Having a good bunkmate in Amizar

GETTING SOME SLEEP

Saturday: Waking up on my own valition and not having things come and get me.

NPC: BEST GOBLIN RAID EVER! Using actual goblin raiding tactics of running when there are a lot of people and attacking when there are only 3 or 4 makes lots of sense. We got lots of shiny

Going out as the angry kolbold and getting to spit in Barak's face

Awesome conversation while preparing dinner

Meeting Zather before feast, and the conversation with Remi, Winks and the others was classicly amusing.

Main Mod: Surviving and being able to be mildly useful in both attacking while I had valence armor and having enough(used 3) of healing salves to get people on their feet, not a healer but keeping townsfolk from dying is nice, too strong for a true low level main mod though.

Awesome Brownies in the monestary

Ardin starting to teach me mage and being interrupted, telling me to meditate on sweeping the mages guild floor of all its failed sorcery components

Sunday: Finally getting ardin to finish teach me Mage, joining the ranks of Silverbow mages

Having my friends who NPC'd for the first time really enjoy their weekend was a great feeling

Look forward to next event, glad to be back

First off, huge thanks to Steve B for driving myself & Jessica S back home to Brooklyn, before he started his 4+ hour drive home to Massachusetts.  In the rain.  At night.  Going over hills both ways.  

Friday night
1.  Trying to find Jessica S at Penn Station so we can take the train down together to Dover.  That was an adventure in itself.  
2.  Getting to camp & finally seeing the Alisandria statehouse.  Definite progress there.  It looked awesome.
3.  The cool weather coming in, & allowing me to wear my normal garb & not get overheated.  Thank heavens.
4.  Running all over the camp in my boots with Seamus (Cooper), hunting for werewolves.
5.  Hearing the Ranger/Druid rant about wolves vs humanity & trying to give alternative solutions to the problems... but going unheard.  Oh well.
6.  Fighting, fighting, fighting... after a while, I had no idea what I was even killing anymore.
7.  Getting a lovely free trip over a black bucket by the steps of the Inn & crushing my junk... & EVERYBODY seeing/hearing it.  Pure FailBlog material.  :'(

Saturday daytime
1.  Judge being awesome & taking me to bagel place.  MMMmmmm...
2.  Switching to my tank top under my jerkin so I don't die from heat. Damn it!  
3.  Dealing with Goblin hordes... as Geoff said, get enough NPC's on you, & even high level's get overwhelmed & dropped.  Damn tricky buggers.
4.  Lunch time in Alisandria.  Great salads by MB & company.  We live up to being the "bread basket" of Travance.
5.  Again marching around Travance & trying to do my duty as a Squire.

Saturday night
1.  Dinnertime: my usual buffalo chicken sandwich.  Ahh....
2.  Switching to NPC & finding out I was needed for a "unique" role... Ok.
2a.  CAVEAT: For those players who wondered why Main Mod was like the way it was... pay attention to the last line of the post.
3.  Late night discussion & RP with Alisandria & learning I need to do more as a Squire in public if I ever want to rise in rank & be useful.

Sunday
1.  Morning shower... found 2 ticks.  I hate these buggers!
2.  Seeing all the hard work it took to breakdown the statehouse & the volumes of dedication that speaks of the people who take time & energy to set it up right.
3.  Speaking/talking with many different folks, both new & old and low & high levels for their reactions & feelings about the past event.  Lotsa good advice, opinions, & lessons learned.
4.  Rain???  Again??? F*@&!!!!
5.  Late lunch at the Homestead. Yum...

I will NOT post highlights/lowlights... as everything that happened was an event to remember & a memory to be cherished.  Good or bad... at least I came & did them and will have the stories to share with all my friends who I wanted to see.  Thank you all.
