Week In the Life Hilights

Highlights...
1. Seeing my friends.
2. Starting my lessons for my "new path".
3. Alisandria "Well Fed" bonus being role-played quite well (again, MB goes overboard & has enough food to feed a small battalion :lol: ).
4. Patrolling the camp with the Crimson Guard (aka Alisandria wrecking crew) & getting recognition for it.
5. Jed... oh Jed...
6. Finally grabbing my new shield from Sean/Jeff.
7. Being able to stay until Sunday morning.

Lowlights...
1. Losing my dagger sometime/somewhere Saturday evening before main mod near Mages Guild.
2. Heading to Totem Field before the site was ready & causing a slight amount of grief to those there. Sorry, didn't know you guys weren't ready yet.
3. Inhaling the smoke/sulfur of a smoke bomb as it went off near me & the subsequent asthma attack/throwing up that occurred immediately afterwards. (FYI... seeing the ER doctors tomorrow if my voice doesn't go back to normal, at least swallowing/eating doesn't hurt anymore. Minor highlight of this... I sound like Batman.)
4. Not being able to stay the full event.

Much love, thanks, congratulations, kudos, & respect to many.... Joe B, MB, Padma, Garret, Kirsten, Chris, Jon, Melinda, Jeff, Katie, Judge, JJ, Karla.

Intense event.

Ori:

Very much enjoyed gambling with everyone. I now have something to do, instead of being bored all the time. Just don't bet on me drinking whatever the hell it was Carlotta drank with us.

Na'ar:

Springtide was wonderful, Lightning drake scale is *super cool*, and wow oh wow oh wow, that fire portal. It may be worth my time to invest some hours into making firefighting a trade. Keavy, Bagwell, Fearghil, Aquaenae, Dominic, and everyone else who might have seen me out on the field, thank you for standing by my side. To the NPCs of main mod, thank you for being such good sports and dealing with my soak. To the marshals on the mod and who wrote the plot: I absolutely loved the way that played out... and I can't wait until I'm at the point where I can even help with the big badguys. The overall plot was very nice, but this just really took the cake.

Dawn:
All the various comments and compliments were... interesting... many were quite flattering. Also: Brilliant Spray. That's totally a thing.

Augustus:

Learning how to teach people things.

Being surprisingly useful in combat with only a single Waylay.

MELON GRAB!!!

Specifically, the conversation I had with Fear'ghal on the Thieves trail back to the inn.

Surprising everyone by taking the melon through the inn.

Countless games of poker, and blackjack.

Learning so many new games of poker.

Doing my best Pirate impression, and failing miserably.

Getting compliments on my costume/character despite slipping out of my accent easier than waylaying a sleeping goblin.

Missing Main Mod to play poker. I'm sorry I missed it, by my character learned not to go out alone, even if all of the NPCs are at Main Mod.

Losing a hand of poker while holding natural four-of-a-kind aces. (seriously, Royal Flush with wilds? Gods...)

Spending time with all of my lovely friends from the house of Uidhir.

Spending time with my fellow members of Drega'Mire.

Making butt-tons of gold and gems.

Buying a slashed outfit for Augustus that matches the colors of Drega'Mire.

NPC:

Getting infected with Wytchwood, and having my heart cut out to remove the infection.

Owning my brothers farm, and taking it to the Lord of Allisandria.

Getting slaughtered for my hide as a Taramil Boar.

Wearing the most ridiculous shirt in existence, and selling it off my back in the monastery.

Playing a swashbuckler and trying to spar in the inn before getting Waylaid and kicked out of the inn.

Taking countless prat falls and rolls as an Air Elemental.

OOG:

Seeing all of my friends.

Finding my Car Keys.

Having a room in the inn.

Meeting so many new people I was too afraid to talk to last time.

-Rushing into game hearing Carlos was around and wanting to just say hello but him insisting on a reading. Then getting Lucas a reading afterwards.

-Bottle Mod: Who's Dream is this Now?

-Ilana doing her best at relaxing, constantly failing.

-Lucas' and Ilana's lunch party. Jen, your cooking is wonderful :woohoo:

-Gustov and Matthias making a return. It's nice to see that they're doing alright. Brain hop with Barak, Ib, and Winks. The final test was... unexpected, but I'm glad I had them there to help me figure it out.

-Not being swamped by research for plot twice in a row.

-Teaching so many different lessons, had a ton of fun doing it. Also, was very pleasant meeting Leon. We'll see how that goes.

-RP with Bayou. I think Ilana actually helped with more then just the crazies. Getting thanked by Erdrick afterward o_o

-Going to bed around 2 with nothing to do and apparently everything happening after this. Being woken up around dawn to fight Fallow (wait, dawn?) and then just hanging out in the inn. The most relaxing couple of hours I had awake that event

-Burying a bunch of these spores Ilana was told came off a sick person but someone finding where I hid the phys reps and causing me problems to deal with next event -.- That's what I get for being lazy. At least I know what to do to fix it. /Super Doctor

-Dealing with an NPC psion who had 'things' happen around her. "...Wait, psions control-" *a billion flees* "...dang it."

-Getting to see Bikomi for a little and half watch Quan Liu's problem get fixed. Then got side tracked by a pair of "wildmages" getting chased down by their father. Now Ilana has guests for the month

Glad to be back!

-- Matthias, gravedigger by trade, returns to Travance and puts on a wide brimmed black hat - cue "Ohhh... Witch Hunter! Do you need to learn anything?" :lol:

-- Learning "all the things!"

-- Great lessons with Ilana and others.

-- Getting dragged off to battle Harpies, avoiding getting lifted up and dashed on rocks only to get enthralled by the Harpy Matron and trying to jump in front of arrows :ohmy:

-- Getting drafted to battle Trolls, but running into very, very dangerous Earth Elementals first, THEN Trolls... Thanks again for the loan of the sword, valiant Alisandrian whose name escapes me at the moment :oops:

-- Getting handed a pile of coins by Rudolph for the proceeds of the great cookie sale experiment :woohoo:

-- NPCing in the crazy Paladin Mod as an Auguaran Priest who was killed more times by other dark faction NPCs than by PCs, and being a new Player so our Torture Victim had to help teach us our Verbals

-- 4:00AM NPCing as one of Fallow's "Hounds" in a giant rubber mask, no glasses, leashed with two other hounds dragged hither and yon blind into every puddle there is, and having the hiccups from trying to growl menacingly :silly:

I forgot something!

Saving a spirit and teaching Elatariel (sorry if I spelled it wrong) Heal Life at the same time. Best healing lesson I've given in a long time. The roleplay was wonderful, and JJ just poking away at what her NPC probably would have freaked out to see in real life... priceless.
