October 2011 Highlights

another great event,

the funeral actually almost made me tear up and drinking afterwards was great, Ashling... no need to say anything about that roast boar we were going to go find 

drinking, drinking, and more drinking... I love being a celt! Staying up to hear Seamus's jokes was totally worth it.

the dream was really awesome, loved the whole flavor of it.

Waking up after 2 hours of sleep to make bacon, bacon fried eggs, and bacon fried steak and some how not all of pendarven woke up to the smell...even after putting it in your tent

So happy my potato leek soup went so well, honestly the first time I've ever made soup let alone that soup and Jonas Kane trying to bribe my girlfriend to get the non-existing secret ingredient.

Barbarian who got the fire sword, I hate you so much in game, out of game you are AWESOME haha.

All in all so much good RP this weekend

I was sad I missed the September event & the work weekend.  Making this event was important for me.

Friday
1. Getting to camp early to unpack, set up my bunk, & see the improvements to the camp in daylight was great.
2. Finally getting into character, & immediately being told that a Master Witch Hunter was coming & wanted to speak with all of us had me both happy and sad.  Either something very good or very bad was on the way.
3. Sneaking up on 4 Nightmare Skeletons attacking the Inn & Dissipating them in under 5 seconds was fun.
4. Hearing the ideas, collaborations for hunting the wereboar... sounds like we were making a Scooby-Doo like trap to catch our prey.  Only thing missing was a "jinkies" & a "ruh-roh".
5. Being told that I had to report to Winterdark for something important... I nearly crapped my pants.
5a. Being told I was to witness Sorel getting Knighted... Ahh, cool.
6. Being grabbed while heading back to Alisandria & winding up at the Howling Void... MUTHA&%#*^%!!!
7. Dying at the end of that & Pat telling me he'd grab my life tag in a bit... I was going to kill someone.
7a. Hearing it was all a nightmare/dream & Pat was joking about my life tag... NOW I AM GOING TO KILL SOMEONE.  LOL!  
8. The RP reaction of waking up afterwards & telling people what happened was awesome.  Sorry for threatening/yelling at a lot of you after that.  IG reaction.
9. Hearing a scream, & come running out in my undies with sword and shield.
10. Fighting the Nightmares in my undies... I had you all dead to rights, if you discount the touch casting mistakes that were made.  Forced you all to dreamwalk to escape me.

Saturday daylight...
1. Seeing the bustle of market faire... oh, how i missed it.
2. Talking with Giuseppe about the trap, about Sweet Eliot, & learning how to use Advanced Literacy to better kill people.  Poison doesn't kill people, chemistry kills people.  
3. Taking a drink of Br. Raven's wine after Giuseppe did, only to swallow a yellowjacket.  Damn thing bit & stung the inside of my lip. Ouch!
4. Walking with a swollen lower lip, & talking like Mushmouth for the rest of the day sucked.
5. Going back to Alisandria & eating cheddar-bratwurst... much better.
6. Beating down the trolls/ogres/whatever that were roaming about before dinner... Ah, another nice bonus.

Saturday night...
1. NPC duty: went out as a nightmare bodyguard to Liz's nightmare merchant who was spreading the laughing sickness.  Wow... no one attacked us.  We were accused, & people were suspicious, but nothing.  We poofed as we went through a posi barrier going back to Logistics.
2. Going out to Main Mod as nightmare ghoul.  Yay simple mook role.
3. Fighting, fighting, fighting... what? Tirsen/Ben is paralyzed?  Let's nom on his limbs!
3a. Seeing Ben fall over as we left him as a torso stump with no limbs.  Thanks to Ben for going the distance in that armor.  
4. Supposedly I was so tired, I missed the 3 times people knocked on the Alisandria door to get Janus to perform a Hunt ritual.

Sunday...
1. Seeing the town trying to surround 1 NPC & fighting him.  Too much hesitation... We need a new tactic.  Let's call it DOGPILE!  We all jump/stomp on the lone NPC.
2. Aliester, Kiellor, Lethias, Sorel... goose-step.

Can't wait for November event.  I don't think I will be coming to the Ball, but who knows.

This is my first time writing one of these, so I apologize if I leave anything out.

1) It was my first game, and I absolutely loved everything about it. Getting into character, and seeing all the side glances, and confusion as to what I actually am.

2) Meeting everyone in character for the first time.

3) The funeral proceedings. Making sure I was watching the woods since most people seemed to have all of their attention transfixed on the funeral.

4) Finding out there are a good amount of fellow healers in Trevance.

5) The goblins outside the Bloody Stump. So hilarious.

6) Getting lured into a bandits' trap, and being dropped on the road just outside the guards' view. Being rescued and seeing my attacker brought to justice.

7) NPC shifts. Being a thief, and robbing a couple PCs, then failing on the 2nd attempt and being chased all over camp, and finally dropped and arrested. Being part of the cave battle as a green ooze. Seeing the 20 plus group of heroes being reduced to a third of their original size by the end. Sometimes a good challenge keeps the game interesting.

8 ) Roleplaying with Gailin to explain my PCs health conditions, and learn how to identify compounds. Then the RP with Dr. Maxwell about my conditions thereafter.

9) Market fair was great. Lots of treats, coin spending, and RP that was had.

10) Starting my next PC shift by being the last one left in the monastery, and having Joseph Blackbourne appear from the focus crystal to give me a message. The instant plot was an amazing surprise. Then soon after telling a few people, being summoned by the arch-bishop to tell my story, then having the dark spirit (Not sure exactly what it was.) enter the monastery and try to invade my mind, but then the clergy converging on me to defend against it. Then it rampaged outside to inflict insanities on others. It was all a very cinematic and awesome experience.

11)Feast was awesome.

12) Main mod. OMG!!!!! My frail self not taking any damage the entire time, until the last twenty minutes or so,when I took 34 decay damage, and hit the ground hard. Expending every one of my healing points, and having to resort to my empathic abilities.

13) Seeing Amalthea use empathy healing to heal someone's broken leg during main mod was awesome. It showed how selfless some of the healers in town can be.

14) Being woken up to screams of Appolo turning himself into a Lich, and the rounding up of people to go get him.

15) The various small plots on Sunday before cleanup. The sisters, Jenn's NPC role, the corrupted elementals, all awesomeness.

16) The diner after all was said and done.

I'm sure there is more, and I might add more later. There is just so much to remember. There is a lot of awesome RP moments I had, I just am having a tough time remembering everything in full detail enough to not mess it up by writing it here. All in all, I had an amazing weekend, and look forward to seeing you all possibly at the ball, and definitely in November. Thanks to each and every one of you for being so awesome in and out of character. See you all soon!

Edit/Addition:

-Seeing Tobar cripple the knees of his enemies in a very stylish slide.

-Recieving an awesomely timed battlefield compliment from Tobar.

"Cedric, nice dodge!" In his unmistakable Gypsie accent after parrying with my staff, and turning to face a charging screaming monster with a polearm as it ran past me after my pary, and turning toward me for a second charge. Then seeing heroes converge on it, and realizing my work was done for that particular moment in time.

- Having more than a handfull of people Undead Lore me to make sure I wasn't undead.

- Hearing the bards sing durring main mod. I have always known what bards were, but feeling what it is actually like to have them do what they do is a completely different experience all together.

- Chris Zipeto's Celt during the main mod battle: "Cedric, hold my shield while it repairs! (For the 3rd time.)
Cedric: "No!"
Zipeto: "Yes!"
Cedric: "I'm not holding that again!"
Zipeto: ""Yes you are!" As he hands me the shield yet again.
Cedric: "Why?! I Can't keep dropping my defenses like this!"
Zipeto: "Because I'm keeping you alive!"
Cedric: "How?! You keep wandering off to fight other monsters!"
Zipeto: "By keeping you alive!" Charges off to fight monsters.
Cedric: Puzzled look.

I usually don't post on the highlights threads being a storyteller... but I had to comment that you all totally turned my "surprise bowl of crickets" into something entirely different when you went on the daring each other to eat them in real life and then it was a cricket consumption fest!  You all are crazy and I love it.

Lesson learned.  Don't portray boredom at night

Misaki: "Ah, well then...right!"

Earth Elemental: "Bbbbbbb bbbbbbbbb!" *waving too?*
-Lesson: even if they're stone, Earth Elementals have hearts too I guess  

-Sam Dio and Lauren being the adorable Psion Psisters.  That was crazy fun to be their psionic powers for.  Special props to Janus, Tari, Lethias, and ESPECIALLY Magnus for making that so much fun for the three of us!



And now to go back into a coma.  See everybody in November!
