February Highlights 2012

Friday Night(NPC
-Going to report for it and getting asked at the last minute to be a plot NPC
-Family of rats, Baby rat was so cute, could use charm(look on the PC's face was priceless when it was called)

Saturday
-Plot NPCing for 3 hours, when I thought it was only going to be 1
-Going out on 2 attempts to find Lorenz's Lieutenants, which my NPC sent the townspeople to do
-The demons attacking the monastery in the middle of mass
-Teaching Keavy Shield AND 1 HE at the same time with Adaris
-Right after feast went upstairs and took an hour nap to be ready for main mod
-Come down, hang for a bit then be told, "Caelvan you will be in charge of the Inn with a few other squires while we go to the tower"
-Helping/commanding the defense of the inn

Sunday
-Got 9 hours of sleep, the most ever at KR!
-Damn mud, F'd with all my tracks
-Got to use my new ice arrows against some elementals
-helped with some thieving goblins.......all led to a cave.....damn sunday, couldn't actually go in.

I had some of the best role play this event I have had yet.
Highlights:
Friday: My alt!
-Bringing in Kava for the first time was neat.
-The interview with Emar was fantastic. Can't talk much about it, but it was the best role play I had had so far....until Saturday night

Saturday:
-NPC shift: the sleeping gas trap. Enough said.
-Right after the mage guild meeting, meeting Aemornial, and having my first episode of insanity. (Thanks to Dr. Maxwell for curing my catatonic fits and getting me a somewhat less dangerous insanity....)
-Feast was delicious, and serving has never gone as smooth since I've been there. It was a pleasure to be part of it.
-The Quinarian holiday ceremony. When I was invited, I had no real idea what I was getting into, I had no idea that it was a memorial service. The service was emotional and lovely, and many thanks to Belegchand for setting the tone. Getting to sing El Male Rachamim as part of it was wonderful, and finishing everything with Amazing Grace ended it on a very emotional note. I am so glad and honored to have taken part.
-After the service, going back to the mage's guild with the guild master, Belegchand, Quildar, and one other person who's name I keep forgetting (I'm so sorry! I remember everything but your name >.<). Sharing everyone's histories was amazing, and I've never felt so close to anyone else in game. Aemornial's commentary was fantastic as well.
-Hookah and chatting with Aemornial, Jack Cypher, the Baron, and a few others.
-Sharing my view of Chronicler with quite a few others.

Sunday
-Scroll scribing with Paige's help
-Learning Requiem of Sanctuary with Mother Remi
-Big battle where I actually managed to do something to an enemy for the first time. Riddle of confusion is awesome, and while I have learned I fail with weapons, apparently my aim's not bad at all.

All in all, I think this may have been my best feast yet, and it should be hopefully just getting better from here. There were many more little moments that contributed as well. I love you all!

Let's see, where to begin?

I got my first trinket! 5 uses of body block

NPC shift: always fun doing the newbie mod.

After npc shift: things were rather slow...

Saturday:

Most entertaining devil fight... Ever... How many slams did he get hit by?

Blowing all of my body blocks on that devil... And that devil taking all of them.

I am trying to block out the horror of the ostcliff shopping list. I remember getting paid though.

Inn siege mod: field repair + improvised weapon = win!

Also, I finally have my 4th class opened up!

Hey all!! =D Even though I was only there for three hours Friday night. I have some of the BEST highlights <3

Highlights:
- My new secret~
-Watching Baoyu "honor duel" Misaki
-Such great roleplay, and so worth standing out in the cold for it!
- Best line ever uttered, and best reaction ever. (Would've had to be there)
-Getting to play Kamei after what seems forever!
-Great RP with Adam, after what seems a long hiatus =)
-Friends, Food, Drink, Song!
<3 <3

Lowlight:
-Only getting to stay for three hours )=

FINALLY COMING IN GAME! Had to get that out there. Thanks everyone who made this possible. It truly was a special moment for me. Norm, thanks for being such a good sport about Aemorniel being a complete and utter brat almost the whole event to him.

~Dr. Maxwell's face when I asked him "What happened to your ears?" when I first met him, his surprise at my delight of meeting my first human, and then later on asking if I could keep him as my pet human. Actually--I think I pretty much broke you half the times with my interactions with you. Your face clearly said you had no idea how to handle me and my special brand of crazy.

~Tender family session at the Mage's Guild between Ardin, Tsoli, and I. So many tears but so beautiful.

~My discussions with Illana and Mae all this event. We're gonna be a regular little gossip group of girls, aren't we?

~My character's well thought out suicide attempt. Poor Belegchand...lol

~Lessons and my character's first sunrise in 5 years, followed by asking Misaki through the barred and locked window if he would be my pet dragon when I found out he was a dragoon. (She's a high elf. What do you expect?) Cy, your look of complete and utter "whaaa?" was sooooooo priceless.

~Guild Meeting. Nuff said.

~RP fight that turned into a shouting match at some points on Saturday after Feast. Norm--wow. I literally felt ill after we parted ways--wonderful RP. Simply fantastic.

~The Horrible Story Contest Circle with Kwildar, Belegchand, Almat, Typhon, and myself after the special Elven holiday ceremony. It really was a wonderful and warm experience. Also...Belegchand and Typhon's reaction to Aemorniel's confusion about the discussion of birth certificates when she said "Wait...so you're his father?" to Belegchand and the jokes that ensued afterwards at his expense.

~That moment of hearing Cedric Moss say the Guildmaster is down at the Inn after the fight and Aemorniel not event hesitating to drop everything, toss on boots and her cloak after grabbing her scrolls, and run all the way to the Inn in her sleeping clothes. "No one can hit my brother but me" was the thought that repeatedly went through her head till she tackle hugged him when she finally found him okay.

~My discussions with the Baron. Kyle, you are a wonderful RPer and you truly have won my PC's respect. She
sees why Lathiel respects you and feels kinship to you even though you are a human.

~Hooka with Cypher, Almat, the Baron, Ming, and others. It was a really educational moment.

~Writing out scrolls and helping Belegchand as we were at the Inn during Main Mod. It really was an eye-opening experience for Aemorniel and her respect for the purple scholar grew to the point she can look past the fact he wears an obnoxious amount of purple in her mind.

~Bottle Mod: So far I had NPCed helping this as one of the Psions who liked to mess with people's minds. Finally being on the receiving end was very...wow... the RP of that mod was really tense at times. I never realized how much she cared about some people in the town already. I was so proud of Belegchand--though he may not be physically strong, he was definitely trying his best to protect my PC. He was even willing to try to take my insanities for me! So sweet I could've puked kittens and rainbows. The biggest surprise though that mod was Misaki's reaction to my PC being called slave girl. Him flipping shit was a huge surprise to her and his willingness to fight a mini honor-combat/arm wrestling match with the psion so he would apologize to me was really touching. Also--Goley: I love you. You are the king of screwing around with people's minds. Aemorniel's mind from that little reveal into her past is kind of exploded.

~Sorel nicknaming my PC "Trouble". Nuff said.

~My first day of full freedom on Sunday morning where Aemorniel walked all by herself to the Baronial Library to learn all sorts of new lores so she might have something similar to talk about with a certain someone. Khitanese lesson with Misaki as he promised, the private discussion afterwards, his shock at her knowing so many things that usually only witchhunters know.

~All my lessons actually this event were wonderful and different. Thanks to all my teachers!

Good Friends and Good Times. Faves

1. Actually using interrogate many times to find out information about the plot.

2. Ming's celebration; songs, food, drink, and story

3. Toravisu vs Billliamm showdown and master warrior test

10. Bottle mod, "How did you get in here?" "The Crawstep, the secret is the wiggling of the toes."
P.S. get out of my head

11. Thank you all my npcs on my monster marshal shifts, you guys were awesome, and made it work.

Many thanks to my friends who I saw & hung out with at game. The funny comments, late night shenanigans, the snacking/eating, the action, the drama, the intensity of some scenes and joy of others... it was an event that reminded me why I do this.

Friday
1. Setting up the cabin & seeing all the cool work that has been done on it.
2. Finding out IG that the Tellinghasts were back & the impressive wall of white that appeared.
3. Escorting various people all over the camp & always just missing the fight or reaching the tail end of an encounter.
4. Lamenting how I was the only ranking person of Alisandria about & that I could get called/roped in to some type of political RP that was way beyond me.

Saturday
1. Getting woken up at 7 am by Seamus Del Dragon... banging on the door like there was some kind of emergency only to find out he was giving us a deer skull as a present. Next time we want some rotting bones brought to our feet, we'll get a cat.
2. Failing to go back to sleep, was able to head out & handle some "business" early.
3. Corndogs. 'Nuff said.
4. Trying to help disarm a sleep trap, only to get ignored & caught in it's wave of effect.
5. Was "wowwed" and "amazed" by the sheer fighting skill & cohesiveness of some of the newer fighters in town. Gotta go eat some humble pie.
6. Spicy Buffalo Sandwhich dinner. Whew...
7. Main mod was chaotic, frenzied, fun, dangerous, & all sorts of fly by my pants. Ah... things never change!
8. Being able to shower right after main mod made me human again.

Sunday
1. Went to my first Monster Marshal training shift.
2. That job is a whole lot harder than I realized.
3. Being happy & impressed by the quality of people & crew we has working the shift.

I hope to make the next event, but I seriously doubt it.

Wow this event was a huge emotional roll tug of war for an already messed up Misaki. Friends becoming enemies, new allies popping up, can't wait to see what happens next!

Friday Night

-the "honor bout" between Misaki and Baoyu. I missed Rp-ing with my brother...well...not anymore
-dragoon drinking party!!!
-walks with Angelica and the tension. So much tension.
-doing something completely unforseen and presenting Bat Cooper with Misaki's Mithril armor. Time to kickstart the new generation of heroes!
-end-of-night drinking contest vs. Seamus. Coop, I have to say, it's an honor to have grown closer IG and OOG with ya. I refuse to really drink against you though

Saturday

-not sleeping and engaging in Misaki's Saturday morning meditative walk, which was VERY interesting considering the prior night's events
-happening to walk by the Mage's Guild and doing a double take as Aemorniel's face is pressed up against the window in awe of something...me. Conversation through the back window and front door with her and Bele was awesome, even with Bele resisting a "bribe" to let Misaki in
-breakfast at the Inn, delicious as always, and even better with discussion about the "khitanese accent"
-getting to talk with Elawyn quickly about visions and being re-encouraged that Misaki is a good boy
-EVERY time I'm about to enjoy tea with Tsoli, something always attacks. Sorry I'm cursed, Bill!
-Dragoon mod. Oh sweet Palinthorne why is Corsair here! Props to Matt White for the surprise appearance.
-For truly the first time, Archer and Misaki combo? Awesome! Bringing in a Lieutenant under Lorentz and discovering where Sir Horatio was being potentially held

-At the prison mod...
Cooper: Hey Cy
Cy: Yeah?
Cooper: Jersey Friend Rule?
Cy: *without even thinking* @&#% yeah!

Love Jersey Friend Rule <3

-FEAST BEING DELICIOUS OMG OM NOM NOM!!!! Also, sitting with Aemorniel and getting blasted with spots of her history and also general conversation. And thus it begins...


Saturday Night

-hearing that I had fully graduated to becoming a full-fledged hunter, being recognized by the Masters, helping to teach the Archbishop, and even being honored with having a student of my own
-"Wait, Antrim is where?!"
-"Wait, Antrim just dove into Magma?!?!....I WANNA BE THAT!"
-meeting Dominik, my new student, for the first time. VERY humbling to be considered a teacher now
-1 on 1 with a Greater Werewolf!...until Andy's new PC slayed him in the back. Oh well XD
-More life lessons from Angus Grumblegut. I really should start eating more oxen...

Proof that all bad things happen to Misaki:
So I'm waiting around the Inn for another mod to commence, when some people representing the barony show up and request Misaki specifically travel with Ming-Na to protect him in case something pops up, saying that they have heard of his exploits and how he has saved countless lives being a "hero of Travance." I accept, but request that one more person join me just in case. Thankfully, Lucas steps up. We travel to a dockside location and what happens? There are people chained together and the "representatives" want us to pay 100gold a head to keep them alive. Ming gets ready to pay, then Lucas says "You know I can just heal them if they get hurt, right?" About 10 seconds of silence, then... *MASSIVEBATTLEMISAKIATTACKINGASSASSINSATTACKINGOMGWTFBBQ!* We end up killing all the assassins, Lucas feels bad, and Misaki is flipping out because this happens to him every time.

Modception part IV - "Whose Mind is it Anyways?"
Goley, I love and I hate you.

Sunday Morning

-Goblin Thief Troop! Mad props to Elias for leading a successful strike against Travance's equipment. Best part: "...did we get Wormwood's swords?!"
-coming back IG after NPC duty and getting to know Dominik. After a little sparring match, we ended up doing a lesson on Posi energy. And so the journey has begun.
-Following that, teaching Aemorniel how to read and speak Khitanese and finding out a couple other things she's learned so far for a very humbling reason.
-MY FIRST MASTER TAUGHT LESSON!

And now to go back to sleep until later in the week. Thanks all!

This event was definitely an emotional one for Winks, and I definitely thank everyone I interacted with.

-Friday night dinner with Ostcliffe.
-Patrol with Magnus, finding the ogre mage-slayers, and the hilarity that followed.
-Wonderful talks with Father Morgan.
-Becoming more involved in Baronial activity, and more active in the defense of the land.
-HIGHLIGHT OF THE EVENT: a very intense and surprising scene with Ilservian. Pat, roleplaying with you continues to be a pleasure. Winks is incredibly confused about where that conversation might lead.
-Shenanigans during the Mage's guild meeting supplied by JJ. From hearing her call the Guildmaster "Ardy", to being told by Tsoli that she was wondering why they hadn't killed me on sight yet, it was all pretty hilarious.
-Feast was delicious and wonderful.
-"Lord Ardentfyre is WHERE?!" That was definitely a mod that I would not have expected to go on, but it was impressive all around.
-Squire Squad with Lathiel and Caelvan organizing the defense of the Inn on the orders of the Baron and with assistance from the Count.
-Willpower lesson with Lord Ardentfyre was just as intense as I thought it was going to be.

See everyone at Dreamation that's going.

Where to start? Best to start at the beginning.

Ongoing: Chats with Father Labelle. Being praised by Brother Lighthammer. Thinking that Bat may go in directions that I never thought of.

Friday:

Most of Friday was spent in the monastery serving mulled cider. If I could get lore:divinity just by listening to what people talk about I think I would have it after that night. The level of RP was really high and everyone was very impressive. Now I just need to figure out who I want to get baptized to. I have one of two in mind.

I also almost got a little emotional when I got Misaki's gift. Seriously. Wow.

Saturday:

Morning:

Did a little box hunting..found a dragoon altar. Noobs find the oddest things.

Found a box and learned a critical lesson. 10 feet is further than you think it is.

Afternoon

Going on patrol with Archer. I learned two critical things. 1. I seriously need to do more cardio. I still can't run for snot. 2. Archer is Very Serious Business.

NPC: The one that sticks out is the "get the sword" mod and spotting that the sneaky types were trying to flank us. It was the first time I've ever been on the receiving end of an "aw shucks" shrug after I gave the universal "I saw what you did there" gesture. Credit to that one goes to Moiyra.

Evening

Feast: Mmm..it was truly awesome. Unfortunately it produced honey butter + x controversy. "Honey butter. Meeting my first paladin. Totally disbelieving that Cinder is a paladin as he isn't 8 feet tall, breathes fire, glows, reduces people to quivering goo, or smites evil with the power of his mind.

Post Feast: My only regret with the event was that I wasn't able to haul the second batch of mulled cider out to everyone. It was a combination of getting really super tired(which is odd as I didn't really DO anything) and the main mod was hard to pin down. I apologize.

Fantastic lesson from Blacktree for keen sense.

The big inn fight was awesome. Humbling, but awesome.

After the monastery I will never look at goat's anything the same way ever again. I will also never touch satyr's wine. Brogan, Mother Remi, and Illiona(?) are my anti-drug/cautionary tale.

Sunday:

Slow, easy, learned all about traps and farming.

Another awesome event. :)

Wow busy event, for once I didn't have much downtime.

Friday:

Getting there while there was still more than 1/2 the day left. Then learning more stuff for the Kitchen.

Friday night:

After lay on, beginning to pace around in the Inn when Ardin wasn't back yet and being completely distracted through like 6 conversations and trying to find something to do.

Ardin coming in with Ni-Ni over his shoulder kicking and screaming and the RP that went into ALL of that, Thanks Ilana and Dr Maxwell you made that night bearable.

Introducing my cousin to her first Dwarf, Khitan, Gypsy Londwyn, Etc and the sheer looks of everything on her face when she met them all.

At the Barional Library, Informing Ni-Ni after her studying Lore: Etiquette that indeed was a faux pa to request a "pet human".

The look on Ni-Ni and MY faces were both priceless seeing Prof. Cypher's alter.

Ardin's enslaving spell and the snide remarks it elicited.

Keryth’rina moment in the Silverbow family was touching.

Saturday

Market Faire is always fun with my tea sales, and Cy i'm sorry but when people hear me offer you a cup of tea, there is actually a white headband watching and waiting for you to sit down

Getting back from an off camp run to immediately change, Pierre was silly and french, thank you for the wild goose chase Jonas Kane, and the cover you know who you are.

Earth Lesson from Marcus, very thorough as a teacher going to be interesting learning spells.

Mages Guild Meeting, Glad Ardin didn't see the Smirk on my face with Ni-Ni spouting off at the mouth. Wink's face when telling him that she was surprised you weren't killed on sight. I mean it was Keryth’rina after all.

Feast was great Kelly!

Thanks to ALL who helped my first running of feast cleanup go smoothly and quickly. You all rock.

Watching the scroll blitz at the Inn.

1am mod.

Successful Sorcery at 3am

Sunday:

Very laid back, actually got to teach something for once, i don't do it all that often so it's nice to be able to, that's one of the things I look forward to most in progressing in strength is getting to teach

Thanks again to Norm and JJ, Family controversy is quite fun and I see i am the Bridge that both of you vent to, this will be a very fun next couple of months.

I didn't arrive til Saturday night so I didn't participate in any of my usual mainstays. Market Faire, Mage's guild, all that stuff. Still, I managed to have a complete blast!

--When I first walked into the inn, there was a lot of fighting everywhere, and one NPC had his back to the door I came in. Dropped him with a Waylay, and was greeted by Zathir with "Good to see you Carlotta!" Started my night off on a great note!

--Throwing fire ALL over the Inn during that fight

--Got to speak to the Arch Bishop in person and it was much different than I expected. I am the opposite of involved with the church!

--Opening some locked boxes for my friends.

-- I made a fair amount of coin reading fortunes for people this moon. But forget the coin, the RP was fantastic! To everyone I read for, you were all great!

--Learning Pysician from Illana and having Rudolf agree to teach me the basics of potion making soon.

--This green serpent thing promises to be very interesting.

Edit: Bat, thanks so much for the hot cider!

Fantastic event

Ostcliff feast was grand
Yurt party, lots of walk in people " eat, eat, drink, drink," Was nice.

Lots of very good RP with people.
Crazy busy, Dragoon guild meeting madness was fun.
The smiths at game I know had there hands full was good times.

At long last got to do a dinner dark (only on sunday lol ) was a lot of fun

Over all great game, was epic!

AvaiidenCypher wrote: After the bloody roar happened and Jack refused to be healed of it and kept saying sorry to me because he thought I was nagging at him. (Which I wasn't )

-Being somewhat forced to learn Lesser Dispel by her "loving" husband, Jack. Ava did not appreciate being pinned to the ground, though she understood he did it so she wouldn't put it off. I personally liked the whole "Pretend your brushing it off like crumbs on a table" as he brushed crumbs off the table onto her.

-Being told multiple times by Father Haroldson during the day that I must have somewhat of a good taste because every time he saw me I was with someone else (most of the time Bolton) instead of Jack.

-Multiple people offering to give me children because Jack hasn't been able to and Ming keeps annoying us to have grandchildren.

-Learned teach. Though Ava is slowly coming to the conclusion that learning from her husband makes her feel a little inferior

Ahem. 1. Best RP ever. 2. It was for your own good, both lessons in magic, and proper wife housekeeping. 3. I believe his name is just Edwin now. 4. It's a stress thing. 5. Inferior is just Superior spelled wrong!

HIGHLIGHTS:

First and foremost. I want to thank Christine for the awesome time throughout the event. You are the worm in my apple. The Pebble in my shoe. And most importantly, The Arrow In My Knee. Game would not be the same without our constant bickering, laughing, and conniving. Someone pointed out we are eerily similar to Peggy and Al from Married with children. I now fear for our souls at this truthism.

Ostcliff feast was amazing ribs were good, I hope everyone enjoyed the drinks!

Randolf's Sorcery and our rescue/recovery mission. Everyone did a fantastic job!

Orias Wormwood, never a dull conversation is had.

Talking with the Baron, Antrim, Barrack, and Aradiel. A good conversation about Weavery? Philosophy? Stuff. Until they are referred to as something other than strands, I think it's all weave.

Becoming the Ambassador to Ostcliff.

Meeting the Guildmaster's Sister Aemorniel? Quite a treat. There's a lot going on with that. But I was sleep deprived, will file away for another day.

Almat! So proud of you! You are coming along wonderfully keep up the awesome work.

3am half-lessons are silly! Sorry JJ and Sharone. I was super tired. At least you learned how to make half of an illumination. lol.

RP with Dame Hartwoode. Sometimes it's the normal everyday conversations that help give you much greater insights than talks of plot or poltics. Thanks Jen.

So much more that I can't honestly remember. May revisit and edit.

LOWLIGHTS:

3 weeks till next KR.

It is always nice to be recognized by others, even when they are misinformed. <<3. I believe his name is just Edwin now.>>

Some excellent RP, involving Church Plot. Kudos to whomever had the concept and set it up concerning the midnight scene in the barn. Superb execution.

In a weekend of drama, my major light moment with Matt M's corrupted Greater Elemental. AWe exchanged middle fingers after, with affection and smiles.

Less we not have it again THE STRAW OUTSIDE LOGISTICS.

Hobbit Belching.

There is more, but I have some housekeeping to do at the moment.

-Friday-
Self taught Animal Companion since I had enough SP to do so and no one was willing to teach me!
NPC Shift: Goblins, Mama rat with daddy rat and baby rat, Hostage to Chaos Warriors. Helped out a newcomer :)

-Saturday-
Keavy met Darelith who taught her Inviolate Form
Searching for Brigands with Archer, Bat, and Misaki.
Having an important conversation with Lord Brightstar about Kaladonia (Title of Pursuviant!), as well as other pressing matters...
Caelvan and Adairis as well as a Ronin gentleman(who's name escapes me, sorry!) helped her learn shield and 1HE
Searching for the lieutenants. Got to use tracking!
Bit of fun using animal empathy on Lady Elawyn's fox form
Devils and demons at Keavy's first mass! Broke her arms! Thank goodness Na'ar was there.
"It's funny too, I had just told someone that I had never had my arms broken....And then I get my arms broken!"
Feast was soooooooo good. Loved that Mac and cheese!
Nap!
-Main Mod-
Battle in the Inn, almost dropped to crit..
Keavy almost lost on what to do as the Inn prepared for battle. Watched helplessly as Caelvan and the other squires strategized. Then, asked by the Count to scout Kaladonia and see what's there. The RP between Caelvan and Keavy after she told him what she had to do...It makes me fangirl squeal haha!
Keavy to Caelvan "I'll come back, I promise."
Brigands in Kaladonia! Oh my!
Came back to Inn, reported what I saw, and defended the place with everyone.

-Sunday-
Tried to help track possible goblins? Although the tracks lead nowhere, Keavy felt very useful this event for all the tracking missions.
Elementals. Dropped a bunch of times, ugh!
Went to the Grove with Lady Elawyn and a group. Keavy learned a lot from her, and met more friendly people.
Finally found someone to teach Keavy proficiency with a bastard edge. Thanks, Squire Rione!
Keavy learned a lot this event!
And...She's not too happy about Blacktree's new trophy. Caelvan had to hold her back!

Great weekend overall. :)

Can't believe I forgot this: Best NPC shift I have ever been on. Thank you Dan for this awesome Roleplaying opportunity.

Albius Tuddlesworth III THE Albuis Tuddlesworth The Third. Nick, I hope you had as much fun as I did. I hope I get to haunt, annoy, and teach you in the future.

Haven't done one of these in a while, but somehow it feels needed this time around.

-Not being on the guard at the beginning of the event was strange, but I was deputized maybe twenty minutes into the game.
-Oren meeting up with an old friend he had not seen in years was great, and introducing her around to various people was fun too.
-Not knowing what was going on most of the weekend was mildly frustrating, but I was generally out of the loop this time around... and yet I still found a few things to do, and had some good RP time with certain high and low level people through out the event.
-Getting found walking one of the paths by a large group heading for the Baron's manner, and getting ordered to come with.
-Being called along to go to the inverted tower.
-Druid trip to the Grove, and being the only other attuned to it other than Elawyn. (helping people walk into the grove by walking backwards to guide them)
-Getting reinstated to the guard, and everything that means.

-also Sorry Steve, for continually forgetting movement skills could be called during holds. You can shake me later for that. heh

Mages Guild Meeting, Glad Ardin didn't see the Smirk on my face with Ni-Ni spouting off at the mouth. Wink's face when telling him that she was surprised you weren't killed on sight. I mean it was Keryth’rina after all.

1) IG and OOG, that is a huge mo-fo and I kinda want it for myself.
2) OHMYGOSH, I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO MENTION THAT. The fight before it in the Yurt was priceless too. Dr. Maxwell had no idea what to make of me. Poor man...just trying to make sure I was psychologically safe...
3) Nope. Not just Keryth'rina but all the time.

What a wonderful event!

Just a few major highlights to share:

1) Best first use of Spirit of the Dragon ever. I made Corsair appear with one phrase! The looks on everyone's faces when he appeared was classic, not to mention Bryn's total and utter confusion about what had just happened.

2) Sunday morning monster shift. Thank you to all my NPCs who did such a great job at following directions and making the shift smooth. Go to team Goblin thieves! Thank you Elias and Cy for coming in and dumping about 50 gold worth of coin and gems on my table. Not to mention swords and armor. You made me smile so much!

As one of the PCs who was chasing those goblins; I too, would like to say that those goblins did an amazing job. Great work Cy and Elias!

Don't forget, we have a cave to explore next event

-Witnessing Artreus cast judgement. Such an impressive scene.
-Master Warrior talks, and the shock of two people telling me "I don't want to be a Master Warrior, teach someone else"
-Sleep-trap-in-the-Box mod.
-"I like my coffee like I like my heretics, black and sweet" - Brogan
-"Ooh, gypsies using big words. Please don't hex me."
-Tobar coming up to Rayven and telling him he heard of an old tradition of hexing me, and how he wishes to get this tradition started again.
-Hay. Everywhere. It helped to cut back on the mud.
-Confusions between the Summoned Angel and the actual player Angel.
-The cupcake hunt
-MM Training the last few months have been great. Thank you to everyone who has helped me along the way.

Probably not going to remember much... still crowded full of memories.

Friday:
Ostcliffe Feast! Aww, yeah! I'm glad you guys enjoyed my contributions.
Meeting people's siblings! Dominic and Aemorniel, you are both going to have interesting times in Travance, I'm sure of it.
Finding treasure in the dark when the NPC had lost it. A round Citrine, even.
Ice elementals! I hate cold... in and out of character. Also: dodging Tsunamis like crazy.
The opening reveal of the results one of the most difficult decisions I've had to make as a character so far.
Accidentally staying awake long enough to see the sunup... and go treasure hunting with Aquaenae and Zathir.

Saturday:
Quite possibly my most frustrating Market Faire yet. As much as I'm trying to help other new players get a leg up... we've gotta work out a schedule for emergency handling.
Getting to trade work for work, selling some smithed goods in return for some dedicated help at making stuff.
Running allllll the way out to the sleep trap... when there was really nothing to worry about, it seemed. Then, coming back to find that the person who'd been in real trouble was already dead. Great RP inside the Focus, as usual.
Coming back out of the focus, only to hear that two merchants had been found dead on the road, and realizing that after two months of anticipation, two of my best suppliers might very well have been murdered... while I was bringing someone else back! This caused another formidable stretch of RP and brought me closer and closer to a complete freakout... Thank the fires that little issue sorted itself out... I hope.
Traveling back to Ostcliff for the results of a fight... the pain from half a dozen wounded and broken warriors proved to be a little too much to handle... sorry about that...
Heading back up to the Inn to clean up... nothing much... then to Ostcliff for the meeting. It's a little difficult trying to eke out a living... but it's so good to see so many people trying to hard. Then, waiting for something to happen... and Corsair. Can't forget Corsair.
Mass was excellent... and interrupted. I loved how Marika and I had the same reactions: jump to our feet and bubble the helpless! Also, finding out later that Caelvan hadn't realized Keavy had been wounded... or that I'd come to help... or that there were heavy duty prayers being thrown at us at all... was kind of awful...but kind of funny, too. Of course, the reactive and responsive speech from the Archbishop was inspiring. Also: Keavy's reaction to hearing me growl under my breath at the screaming, dismembered Malycite: maybe she's gotten used to being the only one doing that?
Feast was good, especially when supplemented with the little bit of food I'd remembered to bring along.
Heading down to Ostcliffe again just to chill and talk business... I think Adairis might have caught a whiff of why his cousin seems to like the place.
Coming back to the Inn along a kind of roundabout route, and finding it under siege... hiding up a tree, watching Illona and Brogan chanting to Valos, feeling a little bit of wind, teasing the soldiers a bit, then finally having to sneak back into the main room on my own thxvrymch.
Opening the shooting gallery with Cedric. It's fun to think I'll have a journeyman student soon... and maybe I'll be able to teach my first Heal Life lesson!
Prepping the Triage, but remembering that I wouldn't really be able to help that much.
Speed-scrolling with Belegchand... it's a pity we were misinformed, and we did have to improvise under the information we were told, but between helping conduct the interviews and dictating from his codices, I really think we've got a case: it's *theoretically* possible to assist with scroll-making... maybe in the future?

NPC:
Falling asleep by accident... I apologize... but I hope the cleaning I did makes up for it?
Cleric of Malyc! Oh man, that was so much fun... being on both ends of a Suppress Ritual really helped impress the magnitude of the ability on me. Also, seeing Brogan as a heretic, and being on the wrong end of Sir Colin's sword and shield was an experience I'll always appreciate.
Greater Werewolf! When we heard the horn once... twice... "Okay guys, if he blows it again, we go in game and howl." *thrice*... and howls! Hearing the response all the way from the Inn just made the moment. I really wish I was in better voice that night... but somehow, I'd been blown out by like, Friday. I think I need to drink more.

Sunday:
Being woken up by the Nature's Heralds' fight... cramming on boots, grabbing staff (and item cards) and rushing downstairs to purge decay... wish I'd at least brought *one* other weapon with me after mine got petrified. Also: I'm really glad Bat found Blacktree... that was almost a very close call. But waking up a little sooner than I might have paid off... when while just sitting with Ashling and listening to her practice for being a bard, I found *another* lost and lonely gem! I just had to take the poor thing in.
Selling a last little bit of candy... um... yep. Seems like I usually just find one flavor per month to sell *completely out of*.

I think that's about it. I'll miss you all next month... but rest assured, I will return!

Forgot, Na'ar reminded me.....Singing to Na'ar after the battle, with Ashling, Na'ar and Keavy

Yeah, I had Paige telling me about what certain aspects of the song meant to her (protection, inspiration, healing....). It was really neat, getting her perspective, and I think it might add to the case.

Memories bubble to the surface.
Paige (The Awesome) sprained her ankle. Edwin, did a first aid assess and told her she needed medical assistance and grabbed - Dr. Maxwell, to whom I explained the necessity (after my assessment) of removing her boot, examining her ankle and applying ice (and then, I added the OOG part - getting Jackie or Norm to have a look at it). I mentioned that should her ankle really be injured and continue to swell and the boot not be immediately removd, the necessity of cutting off an expensive boot might ensue.
That, MB, is when the edame was used.
