September 2011 Event Highlights

I don't respond to these all the time, but I feel this was a particularly good event for me.

Friday Night (NPC Shift):
- Being sent out with my group as a pack of wolves again and setting up a great ambush on Drega'mire. Made me feel awesome that the same trick I used on them last moon worked AGAIN.

- Setting up a PERFECT ambush on Alisandria, only to realize that no one was there as we set to move in, causing the pack to head out and run into another group of NPCs, all of the trolls and ogres. Yes we didn't outright attack each other, but it seemed fitting to have the wolves snarling defiantly and Intimidating the trolls as we crossed paths.

- Being sent out as Brigands with the intent of either beating or scamming people along the road out of their money. My idea to bring a basket, arm my bandit's IG wife/woman friend with a rolling pin and claim we worked for a volunteer soup kitchen rather than fighting for the money worked like a charm, we managed to scam the captain of the guard, enough said on that. We even managed to NOT be horribly murdered when a psion used truth ear on one of us and rather than having his retinue kill us, just refused and walked on.

- Being sent out as Father Bernard, a priest of Gaia from Loez to inspect the monastery and talk to the clergy in town, great RP.

Friday Night:
- Immediately after NPC shift, running into Sergei and having “the talk” with him about Seámus courting his sister and finally being given permission, happiest Seámus had been in awhile. Other than that, the rest of the evening was rather quiet… Except for putting the drunk Barbarian on top of the Obelisk when he was getting too touchy feely with Zander.

Saturday:
- Being able to tell Luminista about the talk between Seámus and Sergei and the RP that ensued.
- Market Faire went extremely well and my Shepherd’s pie went over better than expected.
- The wedding and everything that it entailed, such as being able to determine when Seámus and Luminista will wed and instigating Travance’s first Highland Pint Fight (a tradition from Seámus and Bran’s clan) between his “Sir-ness” Colin and Bran.
- Being able to hold my own in the high-level portion of main mod despite being many seasons below what they had geared it towards.
- Awesome RP with Adairis outside of the inn after Main Mod just before trying to turn in for the night… Only to be awoken less than an hour later for the Apollocalypse. The RP behind that was nothing short of fantastic as everyone in town started to show their true colors and how they react to sudden and nigh overwhelming disaster.

Sunday:

-Siren mod was very fun and between the shenanigans afterwards and being given my first master warrior lesson in its conclusion it made for a rather enjoyable morning. Running into Luminista upon the road back to the Inn after having thought she fled town the night before was also an interesting bit of RP.

General Highlights:
- Not sure where to put this, since it spanned all three days… I have to say, I bloody love teaching people new skills and I did so much of that this event. I taught Florentine to no less than three people, taught critical attack a few times, an Incapacitate lesson (always fun) and picked up a student for Cavalier. All in all, it made me very happy.

- “With horrible aim I cast, Miss!” – Easily the best one-liner I’ve heard in a long time, thank you Ben.

This weekend was amazing.  It was really made for me by some unforgettable RP moments.  I want to send a shout out to Crystal, who finally let me drag her out to the middle of the woods.  When her sweet and naive alchemist, who Amalthea had known for years, was dropped into my arms in crit after being captured by the Galamachians on her first weekend in Travance, I think I had an aneurysm. 

Hehehe, it was fun being a snack-rafice. Besides, giving you aneurysms and making you weep is what I do best ^_~

Highlights:
+ First night in Travance and I awake to hear shouts about undead loose in the Inn, followed by "We lost one! Find it!", followed by footsteps rounding the corner and hearing the flutter of the drape over the entrance of the Attic I was staying in. Hiding in the Attic in pitch black knowing that something was just a few feet away from me was one serious horror movie moment, I must say.
+ Getting a tour of Travance with an armed escourt
+ The IC wedding I got to attend
+ The feast was delicious.
+ Getting to be a delicious snack-rafice for the demon knights and afterwards getting to watch Lauren's face pale when my character was dumped into her arms a few breathes away from death. Good times
+ Meeting so many kind and patient players. Everyone I met was so nice!

Lowlights:
- The Attic got REALLY hot Saturday during the day. Even with the AC.
- Humidity
- Getting eaten alive by the buggies

Highlight:
My highlight had to be hands down spending the day with Mike as Left-Eye Pete and Stuttering Tammy. I got to see so much of Travance I'd never seen before, interact with the characters on a much more personable level rather than having them kill me as a monster. I had so much fun roleplaying with everyone I met. What a great time I had sitting in front of the monastery and just talking in character with Left-Eye Pete, Colin, and Cooper (sorry Coop, I can't remember your character's name for some reason). Going around all over the camp with Mike, I felt like I learned so much as we set people up for the Low-Level Mod and roleplaying in general with him was so nice. It wasn't forced, everything seemed so natural between us. Shout out to Bolton to being an amazing help to Tammy when her stutter would get really bad and helping her recruit low-levels. It was truly a blessing to be entrusted with the responsibility of being the hook for the mod though having to speak in front of 50 some odd PCs with my stutter was NOT what I had expected. Thank you Nadi for instilling confidence or we would've been there all night. The biggest thing I learned is that a single NPC or PC can truly step up and be a major player as long as they're willing to take the weight of responsibility on their shoulders and be willing to kick some people in the butt to get them going. Thank you Mike again for this opportunity. I hope to work with you much more after this.

Low-light:
bloodsuckers. EVERYWHERE. I swear I look like I have the mumps or something after all that. Rolling my ankle leading people back from the mod wasn't fun either but it could've been worse. Honestly.

My event was kind of low-key, but I had a good time never-the-less.

My highlights:

-- Some very intense Fire lessons after the wedding.
-- RP with lots of gypsies
-- Getting acquainted with some older members of the town including Galen and Osred, and of course getting to explain more "No, not that Carlotta..."
-- Successfully hiding from the Apollocaust like a good little Romani!

Edit: I almost forgot! Mars was a fantastic NPC friday night. She really pulled on my heart strings!

Best event this year! The trial went swimmingly....as did my death in a lake haha. to everyone caught up in the Apollocaust im sorry but a few sheep my be sheared to make the sweater. I hope my funeral is bitchin.
