June 2012 Highlights!!!!!

Well, this was only my second event, my first being the one in March, and let me just say that it's good to be back! My sister, who had never done any sort of fantasy role playing before, also came along for the ride, and she was instantly hooked. Expect to see us both again next event!
In other news, I also rewrote an entirely new character, Sindarion, whose interactions with other PCs were IMMENSELY more enjoyable than the grumpy druid I played during the March event.

And now for some of the things that happened.
Lay on, and cue the bloody, screaming infected masses that just wouldn't die. Between getting grabbed by one of them and hiding under tables, I was genuinely scared out of my wits. What a way to start with a bang!
Having Sindarion's secret of being a wild mage exposed by his own "sister" on his first night in Travance and immediately running off to the monastery for confession.
Entering the inn room, ecstatic about finding one of the "captured ice elementals," then investigating further to find out that it was dead. Major let down.
The meeting in Dreaga'Mire, the subsequent breakfast, and meeting a whole slew of colorful PCs.
Watching the priestess of Andorra I was supposed to be protecting go down to a bunch of bandits, then WILD SURGE EXPLOSION... and running away from the surviving ogre.
Finding random bits of money on the ground, then losing all of it, then finding even MORE gold in the bushes.
Chocolate bacon cake, shepherd's pie, and honey butter. 'Nuff said.
Main mod... Even more frightening than lay on, I think I can count the number of times I've been more scared on one hand, and I wasn't even in the front lines. Major kudos to the NPCs that made this such an awesome event, and to Steve and Judge!
And then after all the excitement was done and over, talking until 4-ish AM with some people in the inn... and then ghouls out of nowhere. And running. And hiding. And throwing a few flame strikes. Then more running. And even more running. And more hiding.

All in all, a great weekend!

great event! loved the "crazies" great job steve and judge!

Nadya always has a way of not dying. never been touched by the infected nor was i KO'd :whistle:
graveyard madness.... necromancer..... being paranoid.....
talking alok mallogan with kwildar, him buying me a flower and him asking to court nadya :blush:

helping convince lorelai to walk through the focus. she's been through lots poor gal... i wanted to be there as a friend
late night at the stump!!! gettin shwasted with ostcliff and etc
ZANDER CHALLENGE!!!!! omg hats off to fancy boots! that guy completed part one of the zander challenge like a champ! so close to actually winning..... too bad you blew chunks right before the time limit! that was awesome!!!! im so glad i convinced you to do it!!!!
sleeping on the "suicide couch" and nothing happened to me.... then errrrbody making a big deal about it. nadya was like ok..... whats the big deal. its a comfy couch that i was sleeping on. whatevs i got a bed in the monastary as a result.
being IG and OOG tired..... not so much fun. made me into a big jerk almost kill people when they woke me up and made me forget things and misunderstand things... which sucked
refusing to heal people cause they would tell me how to do my job/ BS about manners and something about pointing daggers in faces... what? i aint gonna help you if youre a dick to me. i dont f*** around.
the best shower evar had!!! it was so cold and refreshing and i was covered in choco-blood and sand. it was like someone tar and feathered me, but with noms and sand
got in a little sparring with new peoples it was fun hehe
being the "healer wrangler" during main mod and during the wtf lay on crisis thing in the inn.

im super sad i cant make it to the july event.... but ill be back in august! and hopefully ill bring my "cousin" back from Coast Haven to the feast. after lighting her stash of tequila on fire of course.

This event was a fun one...wow, that was some scary plot. My compliments to Judge and Steve!
Some of my memories:

Swarm of infected at lay-on...wow. Simply brilliant. That was unexpected, and a great way to jump back into game.

2-6am NPC shift Saturday morning...wolves, wolves, priests of Malyc (bwahaha), and more wolves. I need to NPC with the people on that shift more often...we had fun times:)

LOW LEVEL MOD. My kudos to everyone involved in that one, it was amazing! And to think I considered not going...Shane and Chris, well done. I hope to see more Menagerist mods in the future:D
-Chris's Mercutio character was a constant source of entertainment. Annora gets annoying and loud. "Silence. Pacify" Repeat process as needed.
-Akido-tumbling Tatsuya. "Ride it like a pony!"
-Tatsuya sneaking up on a bunch of sleeping lizards and being unable to find the one he's looking for: "it's the big one!" "I can't see the difference" *sigh* "It's Ferris." *cue universal momentary panic*
"Pumpkin!"

Courage lesson with Bran and Seamus. I need to work on my roleplay skills, and that was a great opportunity!

SWIMMING! First trying to make it down to the lake, a process that involved fighting off infected in completely anachronistic swimsuits but with full gear and weapons.
Enjoying some time in the water before a horde of infected storm the lakeside, resulting in a fun fight right by the water's edge and an infected vomiting into the poor lake. Tending to a chomped-on arm, then returning to the water for fun and relaxing times. Just the thing for Saturday's heat.
Plus concocting a convoluted and humorous plan to storm the ice cream truck and public beach at the other side of the lake.

Getting around 3-4 hours of sleep the entire weekend:P

Belgechand's meetings about things of importance. Some very interesting plot there for newer players:D And some brilliant moments of roleplay...Croinomara and Keavy stand out in my memory on that front.

Main mod...made it through the woods without breaking any limbs OOG or twisting any joints, so many cheers there. And survived uninfected! Stuck close to Triss and played defense there. Screamed myself hoarse yelling for/at people...that was fun.

Dealing with Anhil's temporary phobia of clergy...Sean, some wonderful dedication to roleplay and character as Anhil went crazier than usual this moon.

Being stormed in the by ghouls at 5 am Sunday morning, just when we though we were safe, and having all my limbs chewed off right as I was falling asleep talking to folks. And then yelling loudly enough to rouse people sleeping upstairs...sorry to those I kept from their sleep!

Where to start?

Well, as just about everyoneelse said, Freaking amazing job at scaring the *bleep* out of us on Lay on.
Going upstairs to get something, only to have one of the infected follow me, then stepping out of the way to get away from it.
My first cured disease, followed closely by my second.
Viktor Solvei: setting members of the town guard on fire since 1212
Freaking out Mara as I cut my own arms open

Helping Zipeto set up his first Mod.
I should try to see about becoming a monster marshal myself too... well... maybe down the road.

Saturday morning.
Getting Interrogated by Emar when I told him that I was too tired to drink...
Trying to sleep, and failing miserably.

Zelrich and Viktor experimenting on the heart of one of the infected, only to have it explode in our faces.

Hookah... so much hookah

I am upset that I didn't get a piece of the bacon cake... maybe next time.

Feast... Shepards pie AHMAHGAH!!!

Judge... you have the best way of explaining things... just saying.

Main mod was an amazing amount of wtf

attending the sword-plot meeting, and machine-gunning gusts of wind at the undead that attacked.

Sunday, coming down to find out that Mara, and several others had gotten a bunch of crazies from the night before.
and finding out about some really entertaining phobias. *evil grin*

This game was fantastic. Amazing RP all around. Too much to remember that I did.

- Research with Gideon, Lady Blackthorn, and Carlotta.
-Trying and failing to save a burning child with Brogan and then performing a burial. (Seriously people you should have been there, nothing like pulling charred bones from a fire to get the adrenaline pumping. Kudos to Steve on this.)
- Brogan trying to put said fire out in the middle of combat. *picks up the flaming cloth* "Is this Gasoline?"
- Malycite spire mod.
- Awesome main mod
- The return of Baron Montgomery.
- a 45 + minute ghoul fight at 4am. That involved posi-barriers, wield faiths, and magical sanctuaries. Seriously.. Zach + Ferris + Company.... we were exhausted. I dont' know how you kept that fight up like that for so long. Especially AFTER main mod.
- mmmm hookah.
- RP with Tari in the stump.
- Page No. 4 SERIOUSLY?!??!?!?

- Page No. 4 SERIOUSLY?!??!?!?

Seconded!!!!
