March Highlights 2012

In no particular order:

Staying in the frat house

Not using a weapon or offensive ability of any kind for the enire event.

Observing Jon G (as Antrim) perfomr a ritual. They sure are different from Ceremonies. I have a lot to learn, and he set a high bar.

Performing my first Ritual - not used to the success percentage cap, but Geoff rolled better fo me than he does for himself. :cool:

My thanks to all who helped the continual clean up process in the kitchen.
Ditto for those who when asked did trash detail and those who came and told us when bathrooms needed suppies.

(ex) Canadian Kate. It was also good to see Rosa. "You know, Edwin, I never would have thought you would be the most reasonable one in a situation like this."

Amalthea's off-hand comment as she dissected my heart "Do you know how many people have dreamed of holding the still-beating heart of Edwin?"
The usual Death by Chocolate circle and talk.

The audience with the High Pontiff with Ardin, Skorpor, and Rayven. Rob - I love your IG blunt manner.

Oft heard "Why do you carry your weapons in a quiver?"

What an intense weekend! Here are some thoughts/highlights that come to mind:

•Its's always rewarding NPCing with Travance's movers and shakers.
•Young Edmund sitting and spending time with the ladies of the land. The few men who were there were so outgunned.
•The memorable smile of a certain VonRitter.
•Real acrobatics! Derrick needs to be my trainer.
•Having to run a family that is actually more complicated than mine in many more ways.
•Sibling rivalry. Sisters are much more difficult.
•One well-timed hug can fix alot.
•Oh yeah...I met the Pope!
•I don't understand all this Edwin Haroldson business; he seems just fine to me.
•Guild meeting. My children really do care about the Weave. Or maybe they are just afraid of the Arcanite and are looking for anawers.
• Ardin's life is way complicated...but wouldn't want to be a certain unnamed teenager right now...
•Hey Cy, grab me when you see me next. Have a few scraps of paper to pass along.
•Nearby scholars make great targets of aggression.
•The many sides of Malcolm. Guy portrays a great spirit-just saying.
•Dark elves everywhere and the only two I could kill I did not see.
•Almat's Fanfare of Victory. Look dad, I'm a warrior.
•I now have my most sought out new mage as my apprentice. Just when things are tough at home too.
•There are more to Khitans than their good looks. When you're almost a hundred there are still things to learn.
•Wild mage payback kindness. Very sweet.
•Angelica, I've never seen you like this.
•Wondering if its better for Ardin to be feared, respected or the subject of sympathy.
•It's great having all of this sorcery experience bearing some fruit...finally.
•Having my heart stolen by a lovely Quinarian.
•Tsoli, you invented a new spell-Stop someome in their tracks with the secret command word-FAILURE.
•Goblin wardeobe has come a long way. Maybe Ib has been looking up to Ardin as more than just a mage.
•Gus in drag. Wow!!
•Hey, at least I got three hours of sleep last weekend. There is no other place I would rather have been. I feel the love, even if Ardin doesn't always. I love you all back.

Norm

Oh man, what an emotional weekend for Keavy.

-Friday-
NPC:
Undead.
Wolves for the New Player Mod. Let a new player practice his Animal Empathy multiple times. Good RP
A spy with two assassins looking for Dame Heartwood. Once the assassins turned on Danny McKreager, the spy claimed she wasn't part of it until Kwildar Friendshipped her and allowed her to confess to their plans. Brought to jail.


Back as Keavy, she had promised to tell something to Caelvan, something important. He handled it better than she thought he would. Suggested to be a warrior of Chaos.

-Saturday-
Met and talked to Bran about what it means to be a Chaos Warrior whilst he sold Stout Brownies. "Stout Brownies! Brownies with Alcohol! You want them! Come buy them and I'll stop shouting!!"

Flower Mod.. First time Keavy's had to face wolves during her stay in Travance. She was NOT a happy camper. Only managed to companion one of the wolves, but felt horrible for having to kill off its pack. She wanted the whole thing to be over with ASAP. After getting lost, we head back to the Inn and she tried to drink away her woes (which didn't work since Caelvan's been making her become more tolerant of ale). Sir Crestingstar sat beside her and talked with her to calm and reassure her.
C:"When you were with your pack...Did you ever have to fight of other wolves to defend your own?"
K:"Rarely, but yes."
C:"See...Although it is hard to go against your own kind, you must remember what you are trying to protect." Great RP, it brought Keavy's spirits back up.

Cool RP/buisness between Keavy and the nobles of Kaladonia about the heraldry. (Personal boost of confidence was a plus haha)

Went to check out the Monster Zone. Bandits. Was a little lost about it, to be honest.
Came back and attended mass for kicks.
Arcanite. WTF!? Really creepy!!
Feast! Really good Chicken Pot Pie! Fruit was good too but I barely got any of it..

-Main Mod-
Had to fight MORE wolves! So...many...wolves...
Put up a good defense, helped some people heal, was part of Caelvan's personal band with Nyle and Bran. Witnessed techniques of a Choas Warrior, and how crazy Bran gets haha.
At one point, one wolf decided to flee, and Caelvan and I tracked it until it ran too far. When we came back, Archer was displeased.
A:"We were told to kill every single thing we come across! Go find it now and kill it!"
K: -becoming infuriated- "But it ran away! It won't harm us anymore!"
Had a shouting match until Keavy started growling and Bran had to hold her back.
Once it was all over, more interesting RP with Bran.

Headed to the Inn for a drink, got a little drunk. Until she heard werewolves were about. Went along with Caelvan and a group of witch hunters to find them, Keavy volunteering to lure them if necessary, but to no avail.
Headed back to sleep.

-Sunday-
Breakfast. Sausage was yummy.
Ghost mod. Fun with tracking, but hard to find the items the ghost lost.
Learning the Art of Flim and Flam from Ming Na. Very funny RP.
Some bad Choas warriors came to the inn, chaotically altered Caelvan and had him attack Keavy. She was in too much shock to swing fast enough.
Once he was cured, saw another on the ground outside.
CW: -looks at Keavy- " I bet her ears are longer than anything else on your body!" -turns to Caelvan- "Insult!" LOL
Came back to the Inn to waste time, decided to learn Shield of Nature from Caelvan with Seamus' help. Incapacitate? Really?!

Overall, great event! Can't wait to start learning the ways of the Chaos Warrior!

Friday Night:
-Revelations about the history of my people.
-Seeing both Kate and Rosa back at KR.
-The Seer. Liam, you creep me out in the most awesome way possible.

Saturday:
-Food at market faire.
-More food at market faire.
-Chocolate at market faire.
-"Magnus, I regret to inform you that I can no longer be deputized to the guard."
-"Magnus, I'm happy to report that I'm one of the official representatives of the Mage's Guild on the guard."
-Mage's Guild meeting and the revelations that occurred there.
-Potential Gypsy genocide part 43.
-Frost Aura teaching me to think about combat in a different way.
-Post-Main Mod backrub.

NPC Shift:
-Zombie Mal trying to attack the moon.
-Accidentally causing Lucas's death. Sorry about that.
-Accidentally killing a 70-year-old war hero. Sorry about that.

Sunday:
-Master Warrior lesson: Double Kill!
-Troll hairdressers.
-The glories of Riddle of Confusion.
-Coming home to surprise hamsters.

Oh wow... This event was surely eventful! I guess my highlights can cover what I can :lol:

Friday Night:

Getting to bring in my new character as a good-intentioned but unfiltered dwarf.

Onto new-player mod and getting to know some people in game.

Search for my brothers... A short lived quest... AND getting to call them Drizzle and Gin... Good times!

Freaking out about goblins in the Inn and almost getting out of reach to attack one. Thanks, Rane and Gin!

Role-Playing my Minor Insanity the first time! That was exciting!

NPC Shift:

Getting to go out as hired hand... to GIVE poisons to people without them knowing. Tricky business...

Going out as a farmer in need of help to kill hogs/boars on my farm, and then going out as a sailor to get rat things killed. Oh dear.

Heavenly sleep when the sun was coming up. Ohhh joy.

Saturday:

Chatting with a ton of people when being drafted to go kill frost giants, but only to go back about ten minutes later.

Sleeping in the Yurt (sorry if I spelled it wrong) almost all day.

Being drafted (again) but to set up feast.

Speaking of feast, it was delicious!

Sleeping again through Main mod, but I heard it was rough. Internally glad I didn't go.

Chatting and eventually going to sleep again.

Sadly, I had to leave early on Sunday so nothing happened. Overall, even though I didn't fight, it was a great event!

So that's where that came from! I spent the whole event wondering
