Week In the Life Hilights

Wow, what a game.
First I just want to thank everyone for making this game such a joys part of my life. Thank you all for everything.

Now to this event:

Friday
Hunkered in the Inn to stay away from the water.

Saturday
Got up and worked in the kitchen to serve breakfast.
Went out and went with people to get some truffles. Our group of people were all fairly new to Travance, so when we ran across an Earth Lord we had some issues. However we succeeded and it was fun. Then we ran into a group of trolls and managed to dispatch them and get back to the inn, where I went on a quest to get a phenix feather. As we arrived at the Volcano we were greeted by some grim guardians and, with little help from me, the group managed to dispatch the guardians and get the feather. Right after that I got to sit down at the Caledonia druid feast and talk to the Lady of the land. An amazingly relaxing time in trance. Something that doesn't happen that often. It was nice. After that was some learning and training with some of the newer people and Gidion. He made some weapons then started training us on how to work together as a team better. Feast then off to NPCing main mod.

This was the first Main Mod I have been apart of since coming to KR. So I didn't know what to expect.

Anyway I was sent out as an Elder Fire elemental. We got to terrorize the town a bit then go help finish setting up the area. When main mod started it was great I got the opportunity to just run around and fight everyone with out any worry of death. The look and feel of main Mod was fun. Made a few people fall down but for the most part I just got to run, cackle and make fun of important people with no reproach. It was awesome. After main mod I helped with clean up of the area. I volunteered for the extra shift of NPCing. Got to play part of the dark clergy and find out just how strong the light clergy is in a fight. After NPCing I went to bed.

Sunday
Got up late and hug out in the inn. Went for some training on how to reposition my self on the battlefield with Winks and Alana. After that we fought some earth elementals then water water water elementals. They were everywhere and the whole of the city fought well. Another highlight for me was sitting by the lake with the entire town just relaxing and waiting. Good fun was had there.

All in all a great event for me, and I wish I could have been there for the whole week. Thank you all for the fun

First event PCing!

Friday night:
Staying in the inn, and after about an hour getting courted by nearly every land. I had so much random stuff pressed into my hand, "we need a smith, join our land!". I found it hilarious. Watching the chess game between Edwin and Rellin was funny. Needless to say, I'm not jealous for the NPCs.

Saturday:
Never got a break! Whoever played the pig on the troll hunt quest was amazing. I've only seen one person ever covered in more mud, and that was Ralph. I was really happy that the ugly arrows I made for Rellin actually shot true, despite looking like pillows on sticks. The fight with the elemental lord of earth was intense, and I really think I had no business being there. Fortunately, I lived. Strength training was hilarious, I was put on pothole repair. I'm not going to lie, I think everyone should do strength training like that, maybe then we get get rid of some of these puddles!

Sunday:
Slept, and learned a lot of skills. I literally filled out all of the spaces on my card for skills in training this event. Needless to say, Rogar is going to have a busy month practicing!


Dan Bassett

Just a brief note since I am beat. I will elaborate a bit onDan's Strength lesson.
Dan (a newb smith) wanted to learn how to improve his strength. Doug (Dougal) had a decent idea, but I was looking directly at the pile of gravel across the road from Pendarvin, and said "Fill that barrow, move it to the closest hole between here and the Monastery, and dump and spread it. Then do it a second time."

Dan took off his chain and did it. Full loads, I hasten to add. His service to the Barony was duly noted, as well as his new-found strength. Thanks for being a good sport about it as well, Dan.

Where to even begin with this fantastic event?! SO GOOD!!
Wednesday:
-Autopsy!
-Getting to laze around and role play with people
- Realizing how much Kamei has grown and how much she can do
-I believe Kamei now deserves the title of Doctor~ Or at least is very very close to it.

Thursday:
-Gypsy massage!!!! So worth the gold
-Sleep was awesome, I remember that!
-Really good Role play with members of Ostcliff
-Learning how to Inoculate for poison and getting verbal consent to carry said poison!
-Another one of Kamei’s cousins found her way into Travance, Li Song, played by Kat
-Elven hot dogs down at the caravans! Om nom nom
-Oooooozzzzzzzzeeeeeee
-Sitting in the yurt for three hours smoking hookah with Atrus, teaching him Lit: Khitan and telling him more about our culture. Thank you John for awesome role play, I think Atrus and Kamei are going to get along just fine.

Friday:
-First wave of goblins...getting my feet played with then hiding in shadows
-Second wave of goblins....Jenna..you suck. Haha Also, all of the waylays, right Drew?
-Being stereotypical and going out for sushi with Adam
-Epic running in a rain storm down to the caravans with Jun…got SOAKED

-Awesome shower on the soft hold. Showers at game are the best thing ever.

Saturday:
-Waking up ass early to have Kamei and Baoyu’s wedding…and not having it
-Wedding, Changing, Helping write a love letter with Atrus, teaching and helping make feast..so busy!
-Realizing that Baoyu was missing for a day and a half, as to why he wasn’t at the wedding (Bah playing drow!)
-I never felt Kamei that angry before, or that upset...
-Finding out that he was killed and reanimated from Lady Elawyn, and hearing that people in Ostcliff didn’t want me to know because he was insane and wanted to make him “better” before I knew about it.
-Best time dealing with Baoyu as he was insane and hearing him insulting EVERYONE. (Dishonor! Worthless! etc)
-Keeping a straight face as Baoyu told Kamei he didn’t love her, I am so glad she is a physician and psychoanalyzed him before having the discussion otherwise it probably would've gone much differently
-Baoyu revealing to everyone that Kamei is an assassin. Yayy!
- "Mae! We found out why Baoyu wasn't at the wedding! -as Baoyu is flesh to stone-"
-(as to the one high light above)Sorry Kate! Didn’t mean to make you tear up~ I am also very glad Elawyn was proud of Kamei for not taking Baoyu's insults to heart.
-Helping make a delicious feast and serving (but being interrupted by the news of Baoyu)
-MAIN MOD CAKE! Yes, instead of going out on main mod, Kamei and Baoyu sat in the inn, eating cake, and then shared the rest with the others who did not go out either.
-Around 2am, made wonton, teriyaki chicken, rice and salad and had a nice Khitan meal with Baoyu, Quan Liu, Mae Fang, Tatsuya, Jun and Toravisu.
-OM NOM NOM FEAST You’re awesome Luis
-Getting to actually feel a shift in Kamei, and realizing the potential she has.

Sunday:
-Great NPC shift with everyone!
-Getting the chance to meet and hang out with Kate as Mephits ^^
-I hope some of the lower levels felt awesome as they downed us
-Also! You’re all horrible….Mephits are like hobbit sized! It’s like you could punt them…tsk tsk.
-Getting awesome RP with Kate and Dante! We told you we weren’t wild mages!!! xD Thank you Shane as Boryev for proving our point!
-Startling people I love wasting tag skills on Sunday, best thing ever.
-FINALLY! KHITAN PLOT!! X___X Cappy and Goley...You're my heroes. Though, it seems my "three steps of retiring Kamei" has made a shift.
-Deciding that Kamei and Baoyu are getting married between events instead of doing it at the event itself.
-Climbing a tree at the end and sitting up there with Boryev for a bit (IG of course)
-Having Zipeto tell me that the only reason they didn't die was because of the complex lock and key I gave them for payment for massage

Thank you all for such amazingness I’ll be seeing you next month!!

Friday:
I got to help out the new players on the new player mod. I also had a great time hanging out in the inn out of the rain. I also got to hear some great music from the bards that was fun.
Saturday:
In the morning before i went to bed I got a chance to meet cragmore and was there in the fight with Magnus, Blacktree, Qwuildar, and Raphiel. We unfortunatly lost but I was still able carry Raphiels dead body and help Blacktree get back to the inn after she had a rended limb. I'm so glad I got to actualy save other people instead of having to be brought back up myself! I also had a great time playing the hook for main mod. The main mod area itself was really epic great job to everyone who worked on it!
Sunday:
Sunday was really fun. I managed to fight some elementals which was fun. I also had to fight one on my own thanks to louis but that was still awsome. I had a lot of fun hanging out with everyone at the water front. Great event and great job to everyone involved!

It seems a rarity to have so dramatic a main mod, but I think that everyone involved would agree with me when I say, "Thank you" to all the NPCs, Marshals and Players alike who made it possible.

Other than that, I wanted to take the time for a special shout out to the Alisandria team; I don't think I've laughed that hard in years. More than that, you have been nothing but the spirit of generosity to me, and for that I am very grateful. Its a delight to rp with you, and always a pleasure to get to know you more both in and out of game.

Among the Alisandrian crowd, Jed (Judge), Lady Casandra (Mary-Beth), Lord Blackthorne (Joe Bondi) and Sinestra/Sin (if that is how you spell it), made my event with their involvement in one of Bolton's lessons. Your faces were priceless, and they transformed the grim and bloody work of dissecting a dead fire imp into a moment of pure comedy. For the record, don't eat breakfast while learning how to dissect- fire imp blood tastes remarkably like tobasco sauce which is NOT a good thing when you are eating a poppy seed bagel.
