August Event Highlights

Wow!  What a great event!  Here are a few Highlights:

Being ordained as a Priestess!  Thanks Kwildar!!

Being a Physician and a healer at the same time!

Able to use cure sensory ailment for the first time!

Being part of the main mod!

Here are the Lowlights:

Rain!

Missing part of the main mod because of my medical problem!! 


 

oh god, I have never been this sore after a KR event, but it was worth every bit of pain I am feeling now!

NPC shift: playing the wolf that chased one of the gypsies into the inn, then having people spending more time finding someone to skin me than it actually took to take me down. followed by my biggest highlight: -playing a werewolf that had changed for the first time, scaring the crap out of half the town in the process.
-I had more than a few firsts this event, first time playing a troll, first time playing a werewolf, first time playing an assassin who was disguised as a goblin at the time. (hehe sorry belechand)

I just gotta say that it is rather exciting to see something you donated that event being put to use.

I would point out more things but really this entire event was one big highlight. this was a great 1-year anniversary of me coming to KR

my only lowlight was the fact that I was suffering from allergies all Sunday.


on a side note: is it just me or was it raining assassins during main mod?

Wow, so much to do this event, so much fun.

Friday Night

• After showing up a little late, being trapped in the Mage's Guild by wolves.  As they realized I was still putting on my ears, they left.
• Almost immediately after arriving in the Inn being sent to do research on a piece of paper.  Spent the first hour of my 4.5 total this weekend.
• Getting to use Animal Empathy on a wolf, and being able to, as JJ said, tell people not to attack it, because it was with me, and not a danger anymore.
• Going to the Mage's Guild to get changed for NPC shift, and getting attacked by a Troll.  Clark, you were, in a word, PHENOMENAL in saving the day and obliterating it on the spot.

NPC Shift

• Confusing some Kaladonians as I stopped talking squeaky as a Goblin-looking spy.
• Last minute undead and necromancer, getting to terrorize a few people.

Saturday

• Getting to finish my codices.
• Interacting with the Guardian.  Derrick, I know I told you before, but everything that happened was absolutely fantastic.  Thank you for that.
• Doing research and expert ID for another hour and a half.
• Getting to see a pair of rituals, and, most importantly, apprentice my first one.  Definitely makes upcoming decisions harder as to what I want to learn next.
• Discussing my research and all the events of the morning with the Mage's Guild.  I sense a lot of great things to come.
• Feast was wonderful, thanks to everyone involved.

Saturday Night

• Discussing the spreading of knowledge.
• Last of research getting done.
• Meeting Carlos was interesting.

Sunday

• More research coming to fruition.
• Starting my first manuscripts.
• Very nice discussions.

While I found much of this event intensely frustrating (don't worry, there'll be a game report filed - though honestly, it had nothing to do with the storytelling or such), there were a few moments that, quite frankly, were so great that the weekend was still worthwhile.

Friday Night:
-- Burgers at the Stump. God, those things are good. Thanks to Dan, Larry and Gus, and to the boys at the stoves, for making all this possible.  Serving at the Stump can also be really a good time - I've forgotten my fellow server's name, but our RP dynamic can best be described as "cute." Even if people never tip and seem to think it's [strike]McDonald's[/strike]McDougal's and get all annoyed when they don't see food in 20 seconds. Be patient, loves! It's always worth the wait, ain't it. 

-- "Just a good swift crack with the pommel of your dagger, right ... here." Yep. Conversations no one should hear that are had in the middle of a room full of people are great. 


Saturday:
-- A conversation about how to have a conversation had with Tobar.

-- Taking a Kat nap.

-- Sitting in on Carlos' readings for the Baron and Squire Lathial. That 20 mins of RP was just fantastic and Geoff, you are seriously amazing with those cards. Talking with Lathial afterwards was a really nice indication of how interesting things are going to get in the future. All of it was so good that heavily I considered taking the rules violation rather than cutting it short to go for my NPC shift. Sadly, I'm too responsible.

Sunday Morning:
-- 1:00 AM: Spending my NPC shift disinfecting the masks with Laura. Yes, that is a highlight. Seriously. You just don't want to know how much of one.

-- 4:30 AM: The look on Aleister's face, poor man, being ousted from bed to go do something he'd delegated to someone else a long while before. So much grrrrrr. Good help is so hard to find, isn't it?

-- 11:30 AM: The look on Sir Lyle's face, being ousted from bed to answer questions that he really could have aswered the night before .... and the look on his face to discover the method and perpetrator of said outsing. Livia is just going to forget she saw any of it.

--  Determining that while I have a lot - a LOT - to learn, I may not be doing too badly for myself. I do, however, need an alt.

More or less in order of coccurance:

The trial of Msgr Moonshadow.  Considering she ws guilty by her own writings, wildar offered a good defense.

The subsequent promotion to Inquisitor and being handed a mess to resolve.

Crawling into bed at 0330, hoping to get 5 hours sleep before cooking breakfast forr 2-3 hours.  Awakened around 0400 by Quan Liu and Mr. Chance bringing in a peasant named Rita (Tori) who was clearinbg insane, at least.  Thinking <<Keep her in jail until a decent hour, say after 0900>> but instead, conducting a long inerview and cure of one of her insanities until around 0500.  this not being a miserable, gruff bastard is for the birds.

Food at Market Faire.

Nappy - and only being awakened three times - Yes Excellency, I appreciate being informed of that. 

Feast was nice and I discovered the jello and whipped cream.

Mass - Goose and Jusdge were beyond excellent.  Naturally, it was interrupted as I was starting.

Being ordered to go to the Stump, where a battled was starting and runnin g smack inbto the lowbie mod.  Tried to tell them to let us go by "You are not to fight us tonight, for we are not for you" but for some reason they ignored me.  Mike Smith, watching his mod morph, whispered to me "Do what you do" and the slaughter began - at least until somethings that each had 3 slays and an assassinate entered, between Brogan and me, we had to contend with 20 of the former and a handful of the latter. 

Shower after cold rain - second best moment of the weekend.

Sunday conversation with mostly clergy at breakfast and teaching more Ceremonies.

Best moment - after the clean-up hold, MB giving me a container of her chicken salad.  Yeah, best moment - thank you MB.

Let's see.
Friday- Wolves. I always like fighting wolves. Having "drinks" with Elizar because he now expects that from me. Seeing Corvin again was really awesome! Then having to fight wolves and undead at the Bloody Stump.

Saturday
NPC Shift- Going out as a Troll Bodyguard to some Kobolds who were trying to get people to join them. We even mentioned Zemes and the tribal King to everyone and we weren't killed(i was surprised!). Then as a Troll again to protect a Kobold health inspector who was again loyal to the King Neves(I think that's his name). We got killed. Then the best goblin raid ever ensued by first attacking 4-6 people while we had like 11 or 13 NPCs as goblins and if there were too many we'd retreat.

Saturday Afternoon/Evening
Feast- WOW!! Tacos!?!? What a change. It was a great feast. It was also fun seeing Sleafus entertain again.

Main Mod- What a fun Main Mod that was! Endless fighting everywhere! No time for rest. Fighting along with Justice was fun while we were downing creatures left and right. Getting to use Spell Grounding on a Lightning Storm. Using all of my defensive skills and a lot of my healing. I was exhausted after the whole battle. After that, I went with Belegchand and Kwildar to the Mages' Guild so Belegchand could drop off some stuff and when we got there we looked at the door. We saw a skull which was the holy symbol of Galamachis and it was also on the table inside. I was a little freaked out.

Sunday- Waking up around 9:30. Heading to the inn and got a Master Warrior lesson. The Baron called over Ardin and right when Ardin got in close proximity to the Baron, the Baron hit him and called "Slay". It was a little nerve-racking.

All-in-all it was a great event.

Lowlights- The rain Saturday evening into Sunday was horrible!
