April 2012 Highlights

Hoo boy, could the plot of this event have been any more of a mind...insert your own choice of words here Matt, you are sadistic, just a bit...but I mean that in the best of ways.

So I guess I'll get the ball rolling before I go to that evil place where they keep my paycheck hostage.

Highlights:
-Getting drunk with Lady Elawyn...I lost count of how many shots we did.
-Same as above but with Ilona
-Saving the kidnappees from the wolves/cobalts. You all played it fantastically
-Malcolm's new healer, Lawrence...who didn't know
-Maxine, I need to tip my proverbial hat to your satyr. Sarah was phenomenal and I enjoyed every second of RP we had together.
-Marika learned a few valuable self lessons this moon. Sacrifices must be made for the greater good sometimes. They might SEEM selfish at first, but there is always a silverlining
-I wouldn't say sacrificing my life for Teranius's (sp?) was a highlight, but the RP that came with the choice was SO worth it. I am sorry for those of you who knew of my choice. I didn't mean to scare any of you but hey, Marika needed to cover her bases in case she COULDN'T come back.
-Gypsy Death Curse. Mwahahahahaaa take that Soul Harvester.
-Seeing Sarah and Teranius back together after so many years apart, it brought such joy to Marika..
-Epic Treble Clef sword.
-The RP of explaining to Tobar (thanks for acting suprised Zach ) why I did what I did.
Also, listening to Zach constantly explaining "This is not Tobar. This is a satyr played by Zach."
-Yes, it was cold, but the aesthetics of it pouring while a bunch of us fought demons was pretty awesome. I felt like I got drowned...
-Jimbob's Brazen mod. Belechand? Stop with all the dang lores!!!

Also
Me-Steve, THAT'S where would keep your character card?!"
Steve-Yeah so?
Liam- Yeah, you keep stuff in your chest, why can't he keep stuff in his pants?

All in all, this was one seriously enjoyable event. There's so much more I loved, but I can only remember so many details without confusing them

I got the privilege of taking a bunch of folks on a mod that only about a dozen of us saw, but that was so well prepared, set up, and executed, that I couldn't let it pass without comment. First, I finally got to see Lord Fallow in action, and I must say all the hype is justified. He and his crew were the most delightful combination of creepy, comical, and so downright disturbing that my stomach was churning trying to figure out which I was feeling at any given time. I can't say I've ever before wanted to laugh while at the same time fighting a rising gorge. The folks I brought with me, none of whom I knew well, and few of whom I had even met, were amazing in their roles, and followed through perfectly in everythign they promised and their performance added to the creepiness of the whole situation. The contrast of the PC's audible conversation which went precisely as it was supposed to, punctuated by the (almost) silent involuntary reactions to what was happening around us were delightful. The lone on-the-spot bard who sang 'as though her life depended on it' pulled out of her. . .erm, out of thin air, the most appropriate, clever lyrics and tune that could have been sung at that moment (it was so fine-tuned it was clear she made it up on the spot, but so well executed that I am still second-guessing myself on that) that I think even Fallow was at a loss for a snide comment on that one. The fact that I was stupidly tounge-tied and bumbling throughout the whole thing was not staged--I was truely befuddled by everything around me. The mod site was eerily lit, cleverly staged, and it was clear that thought was put into this endeavor. The atrocity witnessed could not have hit me harder. To whomever wishes to take even some of the credit for this crazy experince, know that you have contributed to a life-altering moment for my character. Thank you to all who were involved, this will stand out to me as one of the highlights of my experiences at KR.

My only regret was not having the luxury of being able to discuss the events of the evning IG with the people who I most needed to talk to for various reasons. I suppose that added to the experience in its own way.

"The night is dark and full of terrors. In the Witchwood, your gods have no eyes. When you are alone in the cold dark, and the very earth rises up against you, only Arawyn will hear your prayers. Many a long night have I prayed to the gods for safety and salvation, but always it is Arawyn who brings the dawn."

My thanks to Ryan, Matt and the rest of the VanZandt group. See you all in 3-6 months.

Gah so much happened that I can't even remember it all.

So much fun with so many new people. It was great. Thank you all for a great weekend and I really look forward to the next event.

As always, I had a blast this weekend. And as always, too many things to mention/remember all when writing here.

Highlights:
-Meeting Sarah. Maxine, you were amazing, and the costume was brilliant.
-Hearing Ori's story of his escape from Alok Malagan.
-Seeing a wildmage go boom for the first time. Watching the RP that led up to that event was impressive.
-A lot of my time just hanging out with Ridigan and Aemorniel, as well as teaching/learning from Niel. Even better when Sorrel joined the mix.
-Watching Keavy's lore chaos lesson
-The chaos chess game. This needs to happen again and often.
-Being interrupted in My discussion with Lieutenant Blacktree about potential ideas for Chroniclerite mass and having it ended due to a Valosian interrupting and asking if I had given thought to Valos.
-Giving Mass. I really really hope that I did an okay job, but I am thrilled to have gotten a chance to do it.
-A few very heavy conversations about Chronicler.
-All my RP with 'Mara. (I hope you come to me all the time for bard lessons!)
-Getting some short moments of Schizophrenia. I rather wish it had taken longer to find my vial, it was so much fun til then.
-My first real combat NPC roles. Having spent five months (and the alt event) needing to take only rp and very low combat roles, it was nice to get a change, and I was surprised how much fun I had with it. I think I have a bunch of bruises, but it was worth it. I've never knocked anyone into serious before!

I know there was more than this, but I am tired and blanking at the moment. Anyways, thanks for an awesome event, full of a lot of fun roleplay!

First of all, I cannot believe just how much money we managed to raise for the animal shelter! I am so happy! Thank you everyone!!

*Ahem*

Also, thank you Goose for cooking feast. It was fantastic! I look forward to next time!

So here's my highlights for this month:

-Ridiculous amounts of RP related to Tobar being possessed by a dead satyr. "All I know is that Tobar thinks he's married to some satyr hussy because he thinks he's her dead satyr husband! *sob*" --me. After I learned the whole story I actually thought it was very touching and sweet.

-Killing an ice drake with the adventurer's guild. Wow. I felt like such a cool kid. Special thanks to Mal for his star role as the momma ice drake.

-Using Assistant for the first time ever! I spend enough time harassing Gideon at the forge to actually be useful sometimes!

-So many new gypsies. Awesome.

-Distinguishing friend from foe on main mod was interesting. I never thought I'd be happy to see *dark* shapes.

-Actually finding teachers and the time to take all the lessons I needed this game.

-Congratulate me. I finally have all my racials. Don't look at me like that. We have a lot, ok!

-I had a lot of time to be very confused in character about a lot of things. Everyone is really challenging me as a role-player and it is awesome. See you all next time!
