January 2012 Highlights!

My highlights: part one

Friday night: this is probably the first time in a while that I was able to be playing Elric right at lay on.

Getting to meet so many of the new people, and introducing them to the wonders of knowing a smith.

Drunken shenanigans: and telling people the story of his most recent trip to a bar back home in coast haven.
"I do not remember much of that night, but I do remember waking up the next morning with a rather lovely nyad woman... Not sure what happened, but she said that I had a wonderful singing voice."

Saturday: Crafting trial, I now know how the healers feel when they are in triage... I had way too much fun on that mod.
Also, making use of my knowledge of all the shortcuts in travance while i was looking for people to assist with the trials.

Npc shift: okay, the weave guardian sheet is just fun, I picked warlockery since it could still be consodered a threat without any heavy direct kill abilities.

I will continue later.

The one that went well

Sean,

1) *Ekat

2) Which conversation was this? Was this the one that went well or the "good god of dead and the bad god of the dead?"

Friday: Got to camp early helped get things ready in the yurt.
As soon as lay-on happened went to the yurt to discuss some Ostcliff matters, was on Warden duty and then all hell broke loose.
Did my best to protect the yurt and it possessions but the commodore got in and tried to take out the Domynus and the people inside to get information but luckily that did not happen.
After everything was calmed down a bit i relaxed in the yurt and smoked some of the best hookah for the first time. Thanks Zahir
Fought off some trolls and there was this one in particular it tripped me twice and then tried breaking my limbs thank goodness for resilances. Later that night wolves started attacking outside the yurt and dante says get Oscar to play outside with his friends (Oscar is a wolf statue -__-)

Saturday: Woke up around 10 to everyone talking and what not nothing too exciting went up to guard the X-Checker as he went to the chuch. After that the Vanguard of Ostcliff asked me if i would like to join them on a quest in the Adventure Guild. So I went on the mod fought some beastly IceTrolls thanks to Ilona for buffing me up with mah elemental shield, my fire polearm
That mod was amazing I am looking foward to another Adventure Guild Mod. Later that night something absolutely amazing happen. So I go in the yurt to find the Count sitting in the Domynus's seat sipping some mongolian tea. So he goes about speaking and goes i have come to speak to you and points to me, I have no idea what to think and I get up and sit closer to him and he says you are a dragoon i say yes i am and he says how would you like to become stronger as a dragoon...to make a long amazing story short THE COUNT IS TEACHING ME SITH!!!! absolute highlight of this event and prob for every event.
NPC shift lets just say it was fun but I happen to make a stupid mistake not to wear enough layers so I ended up with hypothermia, I want to say thank you for everyone for helping me recover and not have to go to the hospital.
Sunday: Well basically cleaned up the yurt broke it down and went home.

The highlight of Knight Realms is the people you play with. I also know as well as anyone that we all read this looking for our own names in other people's posts. So ...

-Cy and Zach: You guys had a pretty great plot going on. It was the kind of thing that had major scope, and the potential for long term plot. You condensed it into a weekend and still managed to make it a lot of fun. Congratulations to you both, and I hope we see more of your combined efforts in storytelling. Finally, thanks for asking me to play War. I would have liked to have done more formal, strategic planning, but events in my personal and professional life precluded me from getting more involved beforehand. Even so, I had a great time playing him.

-To everyone who NPCed bad guys following War's orders: Hoo-yah! Well done, guys. Hope we can give 'em hell again, soon.

-Liam Neary and Steve Oros: Thanks for putting up with some flashy endings from my NPC. Those were fun to do. Furthermore, it's always fun facing off with you two.

-To the Advocate of Peace: At first, I really had no idea where you were going with your demonstration of the concept. You weren't refuting any of my arguments. It wasn't until the ride home that I realized, that was the point - you weren't fighting me, only stating fact. Hats off to you, buddy.

-Volkrag! I hope we see more of this guy.

-Elias/Bolton: Always a pleasure, buddy. Both as Rannick and as War, I had a good time bantering with you.

-Mike Smith: The Adventurer's Guild mission was a lot of fun, so thanks for hosting it. Thanks, also, to all the guys who played the trolls - the way you played it off, it was easy to get lost in the idea that I was fighting ice-trolls and not just swinging plumbing supplies.

-To the Vanguard: Ayoo-ah! We were spread to the four winds this, event, with NPC duties and whatnot, but we came together when we needed to, as always. Alec and Tyr, you did very well as section leaders against the Ice Trolls. This was my vision - that the Vanguard would be there to provide organizational aptitude and combat leadership for Travance. Guys like you make that possible. Also, Lucius - welcome as a full member. I expect great things from you.

-To the Rest of Ostcliff: Chris A, Chris Z, Chris S, Justin, Matt, Jesse, Dan, Dante, Jeremy, and all the rest - you are why I keep coming. Thanks for all the effort you put into making the game better!

-Tyr: Boy, you sure got a lot of accolades, this month, didn't you? I felt a lot of pride watching you get your reward from the Baron in front of everyone. Congratulations, again!

-One for myself: Ever since I laid eyes on the Draconic Hide skill, I've wanted to stack it on Spirit of the Dragon and tear some low-level beasties apart with my bare hands. I got the chance on Sunday morning when some wolves came to bother the Yurt.

-Hannah: Thanks for helping me with that bit of clean-up at the Inn. It was appreciated.

--Andy--

I'm having a hard time typing up a highlights post for a few reasons. This is partially because Friday and Saturday have melded together into a sleepless blur of events, but mostly because I'm not certain where to start.

Instead of highlights, I'd like to thank a few people. First of all, our main cast, Andy, Lauren, Sam, Vince, Mike, Chris, and Matt. You guys were each perfect for your roles. I can't thank you enough for signing on.

Chris G, Andy B, Steve, Doug E, Alex, and all the other storytellers whom I may be forgetting (sorry) thank you for your help with fine tuning the details. Having now been through the gauntlet, I have so much more respect for what you guys do on a regular basis.

Everyone who participated in the plot, be it in the Trials, the Ritual, or any of the other mods, your RP was superb. In particular, I wish some of the moments during the banishing ritual could have been observed by more than just myself and the few others in the circle.

Finally, this weekend would never have occurred if Cy didn't have the original idea that developed into the story you all experienced. Thank you, my friend, for asked me to help you bring it to life.

I was an NPC for the full weekend this time around. I still had fun, of course. Especially since Bill and Damien allowed me to help them prepare their delicious feast. Mostly, I just want to say thank you to everyone I got to help, talk to, and laugh with in the kitchen on Friday night and Saturday. You all made my weekend
