February Highlights 2012

-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) :cool: 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.

Oh, something people may find amusing: The more compliments Ilana gets in a short span of time, the more in trouble she thinks she really is. A couple of people were trying to be really nice during the Druid's Grove visit and all Ilana could think was what was going to happen that they felt bad for her.
