Thats a first. BOOM!

That being said it was a typo. In = with

This was an awesome event for so many reasons:

Having my soul harvested about 5 minutes after lay on.
Lore: Chaos Chess Lessons.
Super Effective Baronial Council Meeting!
Me: "Why did the Baron tell me to guard you?"
Orias: "Because you could kill me anytime you wanted."
Me: Speechless
ADVENTURER"S GUILD MOD!
Cheering Belegchand up after his torture!
Walks with Kwildar!
Dealing with old issues with Seamus, and finding out how much we have in common.
Teaching my many students!
I'm sure i'm missing alot. But that's what comes to mind at the moment.

Quick shout out to my boys: Zach and Cy, despite all the hiccups, despite the drama, and despite the inadvertent heart attacks I gave you- for which you have my deepest apologies- you threw an awesome weekend. To the staff that supported them, refined them and helped them run it, thank you so much.

On a note of recognition, if I was in charge of handing out awards or rewards for great RP, Walter as Winks would have earned both this past event. While there were many characters and moments that deserved recognition, Walter took a brutally grim lesson wherein he was placed under intense amounts of psychological pressure, and turned it into acting gold. In fact he rped so well that after 15 minutes of struggling with the excruciating moral quandaries I set out for him during the lesson that he walked away from it without learning the skill~ combined with his reluctant and tortured acting, if that isn't good RP, I don't know what is!

Once again, there were so many people who deserved recognition for the level of skill with which they play their characters, I only wish I had the time and eloquence to write pieces that recognize all of your exceptional skills. In truth, it is you who makes this game such a pleasure to play.

Thank you, all.

Well, for starters, I guess the biggest highlight is just being back. After finding out I was able to come on Thursday, I was happy to see everyone again, and hopefully will be able to keep coming each month now! :lol:

To start, Zach and Cy, wow, just wow. This plot sort of overtook my character for the weekend, and you guys made if fun every step of the way. From the Creation Mod all the way until the final ritual, and even into Sunday, there was just pure awesomeness.

Vince, your NPC truly was amazing. The array of emotions that went on between the two characters was outstanding, especially after the torturing.

Speaking of torture... Sam and Lauren, you guys, well, if it weren't for you, this event would have been WAY different. I mean, you guys set up Bele to be kidnapped perfectly (ask a Chroniclerite to tell you a story... they can't really say no...), and then the torture itself was so awesome. If I could remember it IG, I can tell you Bele would be way more depressed, but either way, WOW!

Suzie, you took your oath to heal me if I went down to heart, and it was awesome to watch you follow me literally everywhere. That was such awesome RP on your part!

Baptizing Jack Cypher - enough said.

Brendan and Liz, you guys were awesome in prepping for the ritual. Dr. West's reaction to everything wrong with Bele was so funny, it was hard to stay in character for it.

Then, the ritual... in the middle of a circle of Light and Good, starting to chant Chroniclerite holy words made me laugh inside a bit, and Mike as Destruction, you really tested Bele. It was awesome to be like that.

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning conversations, well, we'll see how things go in the near future.

I guess that hits the major highlights. In the end, thank you all. If I listed every single one of the conversations and interactions I had that made this event special, I would have the longest list of highlights EVER. Thank you, ever single person who dealt with, talked to, and was just around Bele all event. The people here are why I missed this every day when I was gone.

This event was amazing. Putting together adventures for low level PC's can be tough and we couldn't have done it with out the Help of Zach who was running this events weekend.

James had asked myself and Frank to put together some special stuff for the 1-5 level crowd as he knew this event would be on the heavier end for the PCs and there was going to be a large influx of newer players and he wanted to make sure everyone got to have an adventure that put them on edge this weekend.

I am happy to see that a lot of you enjoyed the Mine / Blue Ore adventure and I hope that this coming event you enjoy the other good stuff we have in store for you guys and with such good reviews we hope to increase the number of adventures for you guys to explore and prove yourselves in an environment that is shaped to your needs.

Sure not everyone can throw slays and incinerates, but who needs them when you got a sword and a shield to see you through!

Character wise, the event was riddled with political ups and downs and a few changes that were expected and surprising.

All so a big thanks to Lauren as Corruption for standing there as I watched her blood turn to slush on that freezing field waiting for the Ritual to destroy her.

Dan Gill and others for setting up that Straw filled Death Trap Tent that I know myself and others enjoyed it was like walking in to the set of Conan.

The Roleplay with Ilservian was by far my favorite part of the weekend however, as enjoying the comradeship of Brothers now that our youngest brother has been returned from the dead by an Empath healing was my favorite part.
