2012 Alt Event Highlights

Omg that seen Mal, I almost cried at the thought of double freedom. And as for my name, I truthfully OOG didn't know, and when you brought up the name resemblance, I just kinda ran with it

I don't usually have a ton to say on these, but this month was so excellent, and I'm regretting not attending prior alt events.

Highlights:
-Showing deference to Vamp Lords while almost-constantly having to shove Toad's head down so they didn't pick her out of the crowd, and drawing all-too-friendly attention from Alisia in the process.
-Kidnapping the hobgoblin priest off of Pesmerga's table when the resistance rose up - though all we knew was that we really wanted to help him because he'd only just baptized us and we wanted to be saved if we were to die. We thought he was some sort of linchpin and of course grabbing him bodily off the table with strength +2 and bolting for who-knows-where was the logical thing. Best plan Toad and Kenia ever had.
-Hiding in the woods with Toad after we got the priest squared away in the hills and were trying to get back to the resistance and tell them what happened.
-Hearing the bell for the Thralls and fearing the Reaver several times, and then finally sneaking behind Pesmerga's home. (During this time, I had 'Don't fear the Reaper' stuck in my head with a slightly altered lyric)
-Finding tons of goodies and treasure in the woods while we were out and using said loot to buy fancy armor of awesome and keep me alive.
-Asking the blacksmith to fix my armor at least 6 times
-Having my boyfriend's undead PC steal my sword and Shannon's dagger...and right when the blacksmith finishes making new ones, having the hobgoblin priest kill my boyfriend's PC and give the weapons to the blacksmith. Then I had to have the blacksmith reforge my old sword so the undead might not realize it was the same and try to steal it (again)
-Feast. It just rocked.
-Still running into battle Saturday night despite a bum knee and deciding that my desire for freedom was greater than my need to let up. Though adrenaline did help me ignore the pain.
-Using NPC duty to do a thorough cleaning of logistics and having people exclaim they could find things again.
-Thinking the battle with the undead vs. rising dawn was lost and running the heck away to find the Von Ritter and his group of escapees. Finding out later the battle was won and Kwildar was there.
-Lightning epic battle during escape...and then being called back for an end-of-alt-plot chat. I think we ran faster than they expected.

Lowlights:
It wasn't long enough.

How could I forget!

Highlight:
Discussion with Jed and MB's farmer about Barbarian scribble writing and the fact that Kenia can write 'Galladel is awesome' - which then led to 'Galladel is a penis', because apparently my smiley faces look like penis to judge.

For your edification, here is how to write it in Kenia's barbarian-scribble-non-literate form:
O (Galladel) + (is) (Awesome)

My favorite part was asking the dark lord how to ear my stripes out of thrallhood and having to fight the general..... in front of the whole town..... and getting my ass stomped..... and crawling after the general with broken legs to ankle bite his legs off.....
