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 :whistle:
-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

-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
-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.

I never usually do these because I forget everything for like a week then remember it all right before the next event but I'm gonna try this. I'll probably forget something.

FRIDAY:

Running away from two Brigands/whatever they were with Cedric. You know you're in for trouble when you go "Who goes there" and they go "Who goes what?"

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 )

Ostcliff party! Dan, those ribs were so delicious!

SATURDAY:

-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.

-FEAST WAS YUMMY YUMMY IN MY TUMMY!!!!

-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.

-Since I hadn't slept at all before Saturday I fell asleep after feast. I was promptly woken up as soon as there was a lot of screaming in the Inn during main mod. Thankfully it was mostly over when I got downstairs.

-Lesson after main mod was awesome. I don't regret going outside now to learn it. It really added to the feel of it. (Sorry that's about all I can say )

SUNDAY:

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

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.
