March Highlights 2012

So I guess since I had to go home early, I'll start the thread.

So this month was an amazing event for myself OOC and Anhîl IC.

Friday: Arrived early slept, then layon was called. First NPC shift as an Ice Giant went up to the slab and got to have fun. Until a PC used fear and I with no defenses for it ran from them. After that I got to be a BUNCH of assassins in the graveyard for a ritual that was disrupted. Bunked up and bed after that.

Saturday: Woke up early and had some breakfast. Then went on the lowbie dream mod. It was great time helping out Page as she was freaking out (good role play btw) after that we headed to the monastery to try and figure out how to go into the spirt realm and were flatly told no. After that headed to the inn was approached by Jonas and was asked to get some people to go solve the new goblin problem. Killed some goblins then went on a quest to help protect myself for main mod. We went out gathered some blue flowers for a quest and were attacked by wolves. After we killed a bunch and everyone got their flowers we walked and walked and walked and got lost in the woods for about an hour. When we got back to the inn Jack Cypher grabbed me and I joined some other new people in town to go help a man on a treasure hunt. Went to mass and got baptized into the church of Gia. Something Anhîl has been trying to do since he arrived in Travance. After that it was feast time. After feast I crashed for the night.

Sunday: Spent my whole day in the kitchen. Serving and then cleaning.

Thank you to Shamus, Iliana, and everyone really for such a great game.

Before the game, setting up the Goblin encampment. It looked so good when we left.

-Seeing Kate back at the game. Fun Gaian times and desecrating an alter of Galamachis, followed by a trip to Dinnerdark to get warm. Then finding out they've organized a small search party to find me...

-My first Marshal shift. Hopefully people had some fun, I sure did.

-Ice Fortitude. Enough said.

-Getting lost in the woods.

-Monastery Feast - Corn chowder, ham steaks, and bread. Simple, but effective.

-Desecrating altar number two after main mod.

-Getting home to find that I've hit my first weight loss goal after a weekend of running around up and down hills. My feet hurt, but it was worth it.

• Ritual of the Amulet, take 2... failed AGAIN. Didn't die this time.


• Ritual of the Amulet, take 3... Success, at last! Now, just to make the sucker permanent...


• More new students. Always fun! Looking forward to seeing a new crop of mages make progress.


• Marshaling a string of rituals for Arden / Norm - a lot of fun to see him, and the others, RP it all out.


• "Any more questions about the Arcanite? No? Meeting adjourned." Not 5 minutes later "The Arcanite is at the Inn!"


• ZOMG, Support Classes! 7 Smiths in town, almost as many Scholars!

All in all, a good event, esp. after being gone in February. Looking forward to the Alt Event, and April!

with each event i get more and more hooked... didn't think it was possible, but anywho.

So much plot i am involved with now it's amazing and the little asides and making of my own happenings are awesome.

Seeing Gideon's heart being cut out and Belegchand's brain.

Great RP from Amalthea Merill

I will second the Geoff's assessment, Any more questions on the Arcanite, then heading to the inn and seeing lois come running, me calling, what's wrong, ARCANITE, i ran like there was a drow on my tail.

Going on the low fighting mod and actually being useful in combat felt nice.

My comment to Misaki as he left the Inn with Niel, and his reaction, great RP.

The many faces of how we treat Belegchand

Chatting with Ming and the Archbishop

The irony after the fact

Being invited to my first IG wedding and learning the right language to understand it

Xander's climb lesson

Jingle jingle jingle jingle jingle jingle jingle

See you all next month!

Finally showered and resting at home. I should be watching tv & getting my gear ready for school in the AM, but I feel I should post while everything is still fresh.

Friday Night...
Stuck in school & NYC for most of the day & taking the train into Dover to get to camp. Finally arrived after lay on was called.
1. Seeing my friends and their reactions when I finally arrived. Those smiles warmed me better than any hot cocoa.
2. Hanging out by the fire in Alisandria, the shenanigans that take place there, & the serious RP afterwards that made me realize that I've been ignoring other factors in my life because I thought some duties were too important.

Saturday morning...
1. Seeing Market Faire & the new Monster Zone. Wow, KR is ever expanding.
2. Went off to save a farmer couple from Ice Giants. Frost Aura sucks, but it taught me I need to learn to block/parry IRL better. Being defensive is more than just having the tag skills.
3. Helping a group of newcomers visit the Monster Zone & seeing them handle themselves vs some bandits. I should remember that fear/caution/bravado I used to have.

Saturday Afternoon (NPC)
1. Helping marshal a mod for the blue flowers & wolves. Many thanks to the NPC's who listened & took direction so well. Many kudos to the players who went. I hope you had fun.
2. Going out as a rowdy buccaneer & generally being obnoxious.
2a. Calling the Satyr's "sea unicorns".
2b. Tirsen taking me prisoner, but letting me walk forward on my own... through a crowd of townsfolk with there backs to me. Too good to pass up.
2c. Subduing Chris Goley & making 1 last desperate attempt to bargain, fight, flee.

Saturday night
1. Hot shower... yes. Lukewarm water... sadness. Still got clean though.
2. Missed dinner, but got to act as escort & assistant to the Count.
3. Hearing the Count's desire to find the gypsy who hexed a performer & the Count's anger & possible genocide of every gypsy there was until the culprit was found. :blink:
4. Heading back to Alisandria & it's glorious firepit. Smores...
5. Guided Amalthea to the battle/main mod/totem field... what did I get myself into?
6. Left shoulder? Nope, what now have is a new place where pain dwells & it's named Kuato.

Sunday (Monster Marshal Training)
1. Many thanks to Katie for being patient & helping me learn the ropes. Still got a lot more to do.
2. Marshalling & running my first mod I thought up & wrote (okay... maybe not wrote, but inspired by a WoW Escort quest ). Many thanks to my NPC's & the PC's who went. I hope you all enjoyed it.

I hope to see you all in April event. I won't be at the ALT event, but please have a blast.

Such a great event with some fantastic moments.

-Friday night encounter with Obsidian Raptors. I really love that there's a recurring antagonist that's gotten Winks' eternal enmity the way they have. It really came out while working with Sir Elezar to interrogate one after the battle.

-A very enjoyable NPC shift with a good mix of combat and RP roles. Big thanks to Frank, Mike, and Matt White for that.
-Favorite moment witnessed during the event, Magnus and an NPC body block each other at the exact same time, after which Magnus just goes, "Well, that was awkward."

-Mass and Mage's Guild meeting, with some great RP with people before, between, and after them.

-All of Saturday night: Feast, Main mod, hunting with Seamus Del'Dragon, and much more. Good food, good combat, even more great RP.

-Main highlight of Sunday was my duel with Oren. Both of us were getting evaluated to be Tobar's next Master Warrior student, and it didn't really help his decision that we actually knocked each other out at the exact same time. Don't mind at all that Oren was chosen first though, I'd say we both earned it in spades with that fight.

-Also, more Acrobat students! I swear they come out of the woodwork, and some from very surprising sources.


See everyone next time!
