December 2011 Highlights

Main Mod:
-Antrim telling me to set-up a triage in Pendarvin but no one else getting the memo apparently. I sat in there for about 10 minutes before I heard some Drow talking at the door and I think start trying to break in? I didn't stick around to ask them.

HOLY CRAP. That's where we were supposed to go?

I mean, I kinda fully support us ending up in the Baron's Manner because the RP that came from that was fantasmic... but really? Why did no one figure that out?!

Lol they had us setting one up in the Inn, too... I didn't even know about the Manor until we were trying to rescue you guys.

I had a really good time this weekend. My highlights:

Staying in Winterdark.
Watching how uncomfortable the lords were with the return of Alex's PC.
Watching something happening that I've been planning for months.
Selling out on most of my stock thats been sitting around for months.
Impromtu party on Sunday, I haven't laughed that much in forever.

Holy Crap awesome event with some of the best RP i've had there.

Friday night(the busy one lol)
Starting off, hijinks with Bolton and asking how the gimmick to magic worked and writing in illsuionary script on his jacket to explain, totally freaked him out, awesome.

Mage Guild social with our sorcery dabblers and the resulting hilarity of a dog-mage, you guys did that fantastically and i look forward to their return.

Challenging Tobar to a battle of Wit for 5 gold, a simple riddle which I won, i forsee an attempt at trying to get his claim to better wit back sooner or later... it's just a stone's throw away.

after doing research about said dabblers request( the high elf and 2 londawyns what a combo), getting ganked in the barons manor and needing to find someone to get me my right arm back

finding leandra who was nice enough to regenerate the limb just in time for a wild drow chase with ardin and knowing shit i might die if i find em, but we never found em, exhale....for now

Carlos's reading... just wow.

Now the night gets nuts..... drow outside the mages guild the one night the mythal isn't reinstated from the arcanite. held up a divine sanctuary for over a half hour while intentionally singing incredibly off key in attempt to annoy them into leaving.

Didn't work arm finally gave out and i made a break for it in the moccasins. Damn metaphysical attacks and being 1mp shy of an invis that would have gotten me passed them.

Eventually succumbing to the forces much stronger than me, being enslaved and telling them nothing. Which ended up in my first death. Totally a sick RP session and if i'm gonna die that's the way i wanna go out.

Being brought back through the focus at 6am, Liz well done for the time of night/morning/stOOOOOpid o clock.

Saturday

Sorcery after 2.5 hours of sleep and using my first 2 srp. Brendon, really cool descriptions of what was felt.

Ardin deciding that my ritual was next as i died, I was gonna get pushed off but with death came guilt lol.

Market faire was cool as usual, gingerbread and selling tea and the rest of the usual awesomeness that are us merchants.

Gideon asking me, can I enslave you for a lesson, Me: umm do you know what happened last night, i was enslaved and killed by drow... Geoff your face was priceless

Finding out that Bolton had avenged my death was very touching that he thought that much of me after seeing my dead body being carried, I was tearing up, very touching.

Mage meeting - awesomeness

Feast assistance, becoming a regular thing and i love it, kitchen staff is becoming a sub family in the KR family all you guys

NPC - goblin brigade ... hearing more fireworks and asking, did he say lore fireworks, then getting snapped to silence by the general. really well done in organizing.

done npc shift then SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Sunday

Waking up to ardin coming in with Damien and the whole sunday morning RP

Then not being usless in a battle with goblins and ogres... I grew a great affinity for the spell blind, ogre charges... ogre stops charging. mwhahaha


All and all great event everyone, had so so so much fun and dying was worth it, look forward to seeing you all soon!

I can't remember highlights in terms of when they happened. I hope no one minds the randomness. Heh.  


-- So, first, the RP with Zahir was great. And I think will be great. Cause frankly, who gets courted anymore? Marvelous. I also find it a highlight that it looks like my sphere of people to RP with will increase with this new story thread.
-- Also (and extremely internal) was the goodness of watching certain people walk by when Livia was with Zahir. I enjoy reading facial expressions and guessing what they mean. Or guessing what they are guessing.
-- Dying. I'll note - I've been LARPing for a good 13 years now ... I have learned that death often promotes some of the most excellent RP for large groups of players, and this time was no exception.  
-- The whole goblinoid invasion was pretty rediculous, actually. I mean, in a good way. Fantasically tense. Excellent for all involved, in considering all the choices that had to be made.
-- One thing I really liked is the fact that Livia, at the last event, opined that The Powers That Be shouldn't have executed a non-Travancian creature of a completely different kingdon, due to the potential and unknown repercussions ... and it appears she had good reason to be concerned. I only wish, just a little bit, that I knew who to do the whole 'I told you so' dance at.  
-- Desperation in the Baron's Manor.
-- Being a spirit, and later being pulled through the focus. Thank you, Laura - and also Karla.
-- The interesting irony involved in being pulled through the focus in the first place. First, there was the fact that Livia knew she wanted Marika to do it -- but no one could find Marika. Why? Well... because Marika was trying to save a bunch of other people - and being assualted.  Which made a conversation that Livia had later - much, much later - not just awesome, but effing golden.
-- Livia's (observed!) conversation with Raphael after she died.  For serious.
-- Occupy Winterdark! Down with noble greed! Unite the people with eggnog!
-- 30 seconds of Shen telling Livia that she must interrogate a particular someone every month with him present. 30 seconds packed with awful. And goodness.


Props to Goose for his RP in regards to Illona's curse, to Laura for her RP in pulling people through the focus, to Geoff (again) for his teaching RP. And to the STs and marshalls of this event.

wow... just wow...
first off I am sorry for having to bail early, but due to a situation back home we had to leave.

now... as for my highlights.

NPC shift:

for the record, I love helping out with the newbie mods, even if I am not signed up for first shift (or whatever shift you run it on), feel free grab me for it!

Playing an Aguarran is fun... *burst into the baronial manor* "Good evening!" *then proceed to gank the people inside*
as the same Aguarran, teaching a lowbie that is a BAD IDEA to walk around on your own at night... well at least I left one limb unbroken so he could knock on the door.
and then there was the epic death of my Aguarran.
I also gotta admit that I like playing as an Aguarran, it lets me take out the frustrations of working in tech support.

Friday night.
Getting cut open on one of the couches to remove a parasitic infection.
trying not to burst out laughing at some of the things said during the aforementioned procedure.
becoming completely tapped out from repairing armor, sharpening weapons, and making things after people found out that I finally knew how to work with mithril.
then stupid o'clock came... and I broke most of the people in the inn when I told them what something that one of the crazy people said actually meant.
then there was sleep... or a valiant attempt at it.

Saturday.
once again, becoming tapped out in record time from fixing even more people's mithril gear.
more smithing lessons... I wonder how close I am to being able to get my promo now... *starts doing the math* oh hey... I should prolly start working on writing up my legendary work!
walking out of the monastery to hear the sounds of fighting, then coming in just as an assassin was trying to get away by running past me.

Main Mod:
wow... just... wow... the RP during the first half was amazing. then there was the second half... I just have to say one thing about the second half of main mod: I LOVE the changes made to assistant... despite being locked up in the monastary I was still able to be helpful when the pile of people in crit came in and the physicians were up to their eyes in bodies.

Sunday: didn't get to do much since I had to leave early due to the situation at home (if you really want to know,  PM me, or ask me on facebook) but still, aside from the real downer at the end of my weekend, everything was absolutely amazing.

on a side note... I need to talk to someone about getting a permanent Item card for my mithril pledge item. I was gonna do that Sunday morning.
