November 2011 Highlights

A lot of really great NPC roleplaying stuff this event for me. Absolutely loved it all. I seriously can't think of a singular memory that is my favorite since all of them were so much fun.

Friday:
~Going out with Norm as Fredrick and his little sister Anne as merchants from across the Rift with a "special" relationship and the insanity we caused up until 6 am at the Inn. Luis you were such a good sport going back and forth from the Inn to Logistics trying to sort out all of it with your bad leg and the cold.
~That delicious candy I got in trade for a bar of electrum. Best idea EVER.

Saturday
~Getting to watch Paul (Amizar) at work when we went out as a family to the morning market. Delicious chocolate and brownies there!
~Norm's Paladin mod as a Chaos Warrior. Oh it was so much fun fighting with the boys.
~Getting to sit in on my first sorcery ritual OOG. I really was taken in by it and felt the magic in that room. Really Norm--you make the Weave come alive with your work.
~Going to feast as Kara the Merchant. Such a lovely conversation about economics and the politics of Travance. Truly felt welcomed by Amizar and Emar. Hell I even felt very welcomed by the three thieves before they killed me and brutally disposed of my body. You know who you are.  
~Being the demented little girl in the Fields of Fallow who was given a "puppy" by Lord Fallow. By puppy, I mean my very own Death Fiend on a leash that had to do tricks like roll over, play dead, etc at my command. Everything about that night really was completely awesome and hilarious. To the physician who tried to "help us" and was subjugated to my hissy fit in the middle of the Inn--thanks for being such a great sport. You too Mommy!

Sunday
~Really early morning mod as the psionist poisoner. Lord Ardentfyre snatching my bottles out of my hand before I could get Ardin to get a drink with a little "I don't think so." Ardin's pure annoyance at not being able to hit me with any weapon or spell. Every single person who took my drink were such good sports. Most dementedly strange but awesome mod I've ever been on. Goley--fantastic work. I really enjoyed it so much, it didn't matter it was freezing cold at 2 am out in the fields. Every part of it was so original and wonderful to take part of.

Thanks to everyone for such a great event!

Quite a few significant moments this event for me, let's see if I can remember them in my sleep-deprived state.

-OOC before lay-on and then again during clean-up making plans for my second character. Getting really antsy to bring him in, but I need a few more things first.

-Discovering that Winks is no longer just a squire "to the land" and is now officially squire to Ilservian.

-Good conversations with Barak and Lethias.

-Learning about religion from Ilana. Hey Goose, now Winks will have more to say during our talks when you come back. 

-Meeting Scott's hobgoblin. Both of us having the facepalm moment of realizing our backgrounds are nearly the same.

-Proving myself quite the useful member of the Mage's Guild by successfully tracking an intruder and gathering some pretty important information. The conversation that came from that *almost* changed my mind for what Winks' final lower list would be.

-Skorpor. (verb): to turn something into a fine red mist.

-Dammit Cameron. Running mods that you designed almost specifically for me to be involved in...and I'm NPCing during your shift...

See everyone in December

Friday night...
1. Seeing my friends. Awesome.
2. Helping getting work done of the state house.
3. Patrolling all over camp with Captain Archer & Squire Dioderis (spelling?).
4. Getting to use all my Dissipate Undead in front of an audience.
5. Campfire talks.

Saturday day...
1. Waking up to hearing about a dead baby with some horrific stuff done to it. WTF?
2. Seeing some townsfolk try to stop spiders & working together. Very nice.
3. Getting to patrol all over camp again in daylight & peace.  My comfort level with the camp is getting better.
4. Learning that I am too easily agreeing to escort people all over the damn place.

Saturday night...
1. NPCing main mod... was good and bad.  I am happy to make my fellow players feel like heroes & take a beating.
2. NPCing Fallow mod: seeing 3 innocent children get charmed, corrupted, & brainwashed by Fallow to become homicidal necromantic by sheer roleplay is way creepy. I hope the impact & message of how skeevy evil that was isn't lost on the new people to Travance.
3. Finding out the Arcanite (spelling) came out again & I missed it was actually kinda sad.  I wanted to trap the thing as a pet.

Sunday...
1. Sunday morning Alisandrian Super Hero Squad nicknames.  For those that were there... 'nuff said.
2. Shower.... oh, how wonderful.
3. Teaching... I should do it more often.
4. Rat-things?  We should just send all the Kitierans to handle it.
5. Assault?  Uncle Grizzle?  Goblins?  I hate being the law... especially when it's not my jurisdiction. Dregamire's people... Dregamire's problem.  

Now I have to go take a lot of pain meds and get some sleep.

Even though I blew twice as much gas as usual (I had work friday and saturday) it was still a blast

Friday Night(NPC shift):
-Going out as Torturers/ bandits and finding someone in the Pendarvin Statehouse(We tortured him there. muahaha)
-Realizing how warm the Baron's manor was and ending up sleeping there.

Saturday Morning:
-Waking up and not getting attacked for once
-Mostly calm morning for me
-Seeing the Travancian grove

(had to leave for the afternoon and main mod)

Sunday morning (2am-1pm)
-ghost pirate mod
-ghost attacking the inn and only firing one shot
-sleeping well even though it was cold in the Manor
-Dealing with a squad of Drag'emire guards and a dwarf. Why did I need to be the only guard outside the inn?
-doing my Cats-like grace lesson while walking to a mod in the maze.
-Taking part in said mod and helping destroy a piece of corrupt earth.

-Friday: I don't remember exactly what I did as Ilana except kill undead a bunch and try and help take out a true warlock that stole from the Gypsy King. I also NPCed a Gypsy that did a lot of random stuff and had a lot of fun.

- *Saturday morning I wake up and start on manuscripts... checks time... !!* A bit late for helping with breakfast but I made up for it by staying late with MaryBeth (I hope)

- Ilana got to go to the Druid's Grove and was the happiest ever
-"True Warlocks are parasites... like fleas in your... well no I guess more like a tapeworm for your soul"

- Obsidian Raptor jump on the 'Path of Saint Larson' mod. If Misaki hadn't randomly shown up Aiden and myself would have died because I separated from the battle (and got followed) to get him out of crit.

-Hobgoblin battle. Not sure why it went so well but I guess it was because the drow were up to something that was probably missed.

- The Arcanite. Ilana's never been so scared before. I was hiding behind the Pendarvin Statehouse because I couldn't keep up with the others and I hear this 'woooosh'ing noise and realize what just stepped inside the building. I don't move. I stayed frozen for at least five minutes as it hovered around inside/outside the building. Whoever walked up the path and got its attention I thank you. Misaki shows up again to help Ilana stop freaking out.

-Ilana can deal with a certain age limit professionally. Small children.... well, Ilana will do her best to continue to deal with the 'campers' that loved 'Uncle' Fallow's house.

- I stopped calling defenses to 'RP' things starting with Jimbob's 'Now you have the Black Spot'. Between that, the late night Psion Bottle Mod, and Sunday morning getting half of Ilana's soul ripped out made me actually enjoy this decision even more.

- *Saturday morning I wake up and start on manuscripts... checks time... !!* A bit late for helping with breakfast but I made up for it by staying late with MaryBeth (I hope)

Yes you did!  Thank you.
Also:
Katie for getting up realy early with me before her MM shift so she could help me prep and peel apples for the pancakes.
Melissa for doing all the dishes and with the orders.

Thanks so much for your help.
