Brrr... cold, windy, sore, and very dirty. Ahhh, it was a good event. 
Friday
1. The car ride in with the Brooklyn Boys... an adventure in itself with all the rain, fog, and semi trucks whizzing by.
2. Setting up the Black Orchid Guild hall and getting hired on as a guard. Best bodyguard work ever.
3. I hate spiders. Especially ones that do Body damage.
Saturday morning
1. Wow... it's cold.
2. MMmmmm, breakfast.
3. NPCing as the most obnoxious, rude, crass, violent warriors ever, and then getting paid 3 silver to work for the town.
4. Matt (aka Magnus) I am so sorry for the 'low-blow', I thought I was aiming higher and lightly tapping your gut/thigh. Still, great RP.
5. Seeing 1 of our NPC's staring at a low-cut blouse and egging for a beat-down... sorry, but I had to laugh.
6. Cameron's masochistic beating of his junk will be forver in my mind.
7. Playing a fire elemental and then trying to fight Antrim... might as well blow myself up in a puff of smoke.
8. Playing a Chaos Warrior and performing a virgin sacrifice... finally got something from a Mass and it was as an NPC.
9. Seeing the cool RP and righteous anger of the town after finding the peasant sacrifices. Lex wanted blood. Kiellor tracking down the bad guys was nice.
Saturday night
1. Feast was awesome... or so I heard. I ran late and didn't get a chance to eat it. My own fault. Still, keep up the good work.
2. Vegas night at the Black Orchid... only thing missing was the hookers and Wayne Newton performing.
3. Seeing Mother Quinn double down each time was hilarious.
4. Exodus' wanting to catch the green fairy and the antics that ensued.
5. Wow it got cold.
6. Astral jellyfish?
7. So, if we tie Lucious to a string, we can go Atral Jellyfishing... hmmm...
8. So, for 5 gold, we got sanctuary and free food and drink? Best 5 gold ever spent.
9. No one wanting to leave the casino at closing. Geezz...
Sunday morning
1. The commute back was surreal. Saw 3 blown out tires back to back.
2. Litterally, everyone there their mother was out today.
Had a blast and thanks to Geoff for the weapons he brought, even though he was under the impression I wasn't coming. Thanks to the Brooklyn boys for giving me a ride to and back from event.
See you in June... maybe.

Playing with fire is bad for those who burn themselves. For the rest of us, it is a very great pleasure....

Coming across Kiellor and Adan and randomly jumping onto an Aguarran mod was the most fun ever. Realizing that said priests in the temple could not defend against fire, and promptly smoking everyone.
A lot of fun hanging out with the black orchid pcs before game...and a very great sadness about not getting a chance to rp with them.
Adan...where is my deer?
Kiellor..I have this plan....
Antrim I have this demon stick...
Finally being really powerful, and actually killing things.
Best feast ever...Great job Matt and Matt's mom, I have never eaten so much or enjoyed it so much in my life.
Just a lot of fun rp all event was so great. I got a chance to hang out with people that I normally don't and people that I haven't interacted with before, so that was so much fun.

This will be short, I'm sure perhaps I will post more later. - I am soooo dead tired, even over 24 hours after leaving the site.
Let's see. Friday night Witch Hunter meetings. It's hard to go wrong with these for intense moments, and alternatively, laughter and smiles.
Kwildar quickly deciding he did not want to go back into that portal... And then willingly going through the portal at least four more times.
'Stupid O'Clock' conversations with Keillor, Tauri, Janus and Aidan.
Lord Pyre's rendition of "The Lost Arrow of Yngwie" just after it happened.
Annabelle's further praise and subsequent embarrassment of Kwildar.
Giving the benediction at feast, and Kwildar's nervousness surrounding it.
Feast itself. Amazing. (Matt, you are amazing. Lady Zero, I am afraid that I never got your real name, I apologize, you are amazing as well!)
Talks with Brother McBride. And crying at the altar before and during them.
Drunken mercenaries, 'saving' Mother Jarren, and subsequently washing my lap off in the pond near the inn.
Main Mod - "For Andorra's love! Smite, 19 divine" and hearing just what some others thought I had shouted afterward.
Main Mod - An accidental belch, followed by Andy's character turning around as Kwildar tried to excuse himself, and saying, "Welcome to the world, Kwildar!"
Waking up in the middle of the night to shapes in the cabin, then waking up in the Monestary. (Yes, I had a lot of fun getting assassinated. You know who you are.... Thanks for a really fun moment, guys!)
Getting ressurected by Keillor. And hearing Drew's impression later.
Rayven: "I wish I could find some way to learn Malediction."
Kwildar: "I can help you with that."
Rayven, blinking incredulously. "You can Maledict!?"
Kwildar nods quietly.
Teaching your mentors something new is always a good feeling.
Leo and Corrin.... Chris, you are awesome! 'Nuff said there. :)
Hounding 'Mister Pyre', 'Kathasarara', 'Snow Lady', 'Rose' and 'Exit' for the rest of the morning while escaping from slavers. Priceless.
The Ugly Mug afterward. Lots of amazing conversations. Receiving an unexpected, but amazing compliment from Danny. Thank you, Danny. I hope to always keep it going.

Pre-Game:
Antics with UPS getting the Nemesis order in. The first part of the shipment, that had everyone else's stuff but mine, arrived the Friday of the Anniv. event while I was on my way to the campsite. I took this Friday off again to get there at a reasonable time, and once again, the package (this time with the Anvil and Gideon's new sword) came in on Friday - but this time I actually trained into NYC, picked it up from work, and trained back out to have them for the event. It was worth it!
Packing D (Sasha), Andy (Nicolai), and all my stuff into one car. "Snooch" has a lot of room, but even so, it was tight...
Getting 15 minutes out, and realizing I forgot my armor, which was attuned. We had to go back and get it...
SUCK traffic on 287, up to and across the Tappan Zee. Ugh!
The Event:
Being able to finally use all the new toys I ordered back in Jan. / Feb., that all came in at once.
Decent weather, even if it was a tad cold... at least it wasn't raining.
Friday night: Ardis - "This sounds like a Corsair trick." Saturday, seeing him show up, although at least it wasn't the WHOLE plot that was a trick.
Being the right PC at the right time. Doug had been taunting me for playing the wrong PCs all of the April event...
Hiding various people behind the shield.
Mentioning a talking book to Osred, and realizing I'd have to escort him into the Portal once I mentioned it.
Discussions w/ Germain - "How long would it take to make an exalted mithril breastplate?" "26 hours."
Getting to see almost everyone be happy with their Nemesis order, including the Troll Femurs given to logistics. The only unhappy customer was the owner of a pair of scabbards that didn't fit his Nemesis scimitars. D'oh - but they found a good home in the end! (Mike D. - that Elven Saber is kick-ass!)
Feast! Nom nom nom nom nom!
The return of Mike V. Welcome back!
Morwenne: "Ethan hasn't said a word to me in months." Gideon: "He just sent me a letter." Morwenne: "I'm going to KILL him!" Gideon (Internal): "Oops."

First time up, had a bit of trouble figuring out how to work my racial fear.
Enjoyed a training session with a kindly dragoon(can't remember the name, sorry)
Loathed not being able to help much, loving the few instances when i could.
Woke up 4 am, then woke up in the monestary. apparently i was assassinated.
talked to people, talked to more people, discovered that many of them are pretty cool.
Enjoyed feast, pilfered a bit of it for later
All-in-all, had a good first time there, can't wait to return!
