Great event, despite the rain and humidity! Highlights for me:
Carlos, who is still running around in the back of my head, apologizes profusely for the cards being so crotchety and giving everyone a dismal reading. He blames it on the humidity.
- Hearing at Lay On that Gideon's efforts paid off in such a spectacular fashion.
- Getting to wear the FULL kit of armor since Diane gave me my new chain mail pants back in March as a birthday gift. 294 Armor Points with all buffs active!
- Having Matt M's Hobgoblin chew through it in about 10 seconds. Yes, Gideon is geared as a tank, but he still can't fight worth a crap, especially with the 2HE against a skilled opponent.
- Having the Baronial Manor set up and in full on RP mode most of the weekend.
- Crafting Parties! Multiple Smiths, Alchemists, and Scholars all crafting at the same time, and many of them with Assistants!
- Lessons, both taught and received. You're never too old or powerful to learn, and even your own students can teach you some times.
- Lessons with Rayven Nightwing. The fact that a Barbaran came to a Mage to learn Valence (we're both Priests) is a testament to the development of both characters.
- Count Everest: "It's pouring rain out? Let's go counterattack and wipe out their camp." Lord Brightstar, without hesitating: "I'm with you." Everyone else in the room: Incredulous looks.
- Emerson's Hobgoblin storms the Inn during Main Mod. Gideon (unarmed): "Spell Surge Fireball, Spell Surge Fireball, Spell Surge Fireball, Spell Surge Fireball, Spell Surge Double Power Fireball." Emerson took a moment to process it, then just fell over... Stupid to blow what I had like that, but SO worth the results IG.
- Brazenite Mass - a bit ad-hoc, but a lot of fun none the less.
- Haradian Thane: (Looking for a gobin assassin on the porch) "There's nothing alive out here, or I would see it." Gideon, jokingly: "What are you, undead?" Rob (OOG aside): "I'm a Lich!"
- Carlos and Agustus finally getting to meet and talk.

Had so much fun sitting around bsing with some of the veteran players about the old days.
Got to interact with some nobles that tari really hasn't talked to much, and feeling really useful
Meeting and spending a lot of time with the McGregor clan....i can't even begin to describe the hilarity and headaches of that one
My two favorite drs deciding the best way to heal my insanity was to poison me
Karma is mean, joking with tons of people about trench foot, then getting it myself
Being erdricks vassal for the third time in 10 years and multiple characters
Witch hunting of old days

Oh boy... where to start?
well first off, finding out that I was the only physician that was readily available at the time... People seemed to put way too much responsibility on Viktor's shoulders...
heading to the stump, and immediately start hearing fighting from just about everywhere else in Travance. and finally making the call that we should start heading to the sound of obscenities being shouted, (coming to the conclusion that it was the Ostcliff forces, and we would likely be safe with them.)
Patching up most of Ostcliff after their rather large battle with New Gaaldaron forces.
Research in the count's library!
Saturday:
BABY TURKEY AT THE WAR CAMP! sorry... I thought it was hilarious that everyone took a break from planning missions and tactics to look at the baby turkey and parent walk across the field.
Lending my armour to someone who I thought had died about a half hour later... then beating myself up over it.
Fixing Gorvax's leg in the middle of a battle.
Machine gunning gusts of wind at Matt M's npc while he was 5 feet away from me, and he was fighting Steve's NPC. I am just surprised that he was blowing defenses on them.
Main mod:
being the logistics marshal I did not see much of the fight, all I CAN say though is this:
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
after main mod:
getting pulled along for the water panther, and getting dropped for the first time ever with this character. I guess bubbles thought that my ribcage was a scratching post...
YAY!!! MY FIRST INSANITY AS VIKTOR!!!
Earth drakes? looks like I may bee seeing new materials next month.
going all out with the delusions of Reginald: the duck
now that I think more of the drow encounter, I should have 1: used treasure sense on the one that I was patching up, and 2: make the encounter a heck of a lot more entertaining by talking to her in dark elven.
realizing Sunday morning that The hobgoblin that I had shared the hookah with the month before was actually the general of the armies of New Gaaldaron. well *bleep* me...
fake leeches of the shoulder of a certain guardsmember.
Of course Viktor gets blamed for poisoning Tari... always blame the Gypsy huh? we love you too Tari
On a side note, this event was freaking awesome. I loved the whole thing from start to finish. Steve, you did an awesome job running this weekend. there needs to be more weekends where the plot itself will play with people's emotions like it did this weekend.

Great event, I felt like there was always something going on or something to do. I really enjoyed being able to come up with a plan and actually being able to do it. The goblin camp was sweet, even if it was targeted by Steve's "special effects" (so glad you guys are okay!).
The return of my Uncle Iozzini, the greatest uncle the Yhatzi family has.
Super enjoyed Goose's lunch faire, Diane's breakfast and Mahoney's new larpexchange booth.
As clan Brockels marched in with the main troop, the troops were chanting and getting riled up by the commanders. Lethias shouts amidst the cheering "They're going to kill us, DESPAIR". Almost blew my cover chocking on laughter.
Arm wrestling :) Mirwen and Kleiden, those women are pwn!

My highlights this event come mostly from some very timely enemy routs, compliments of Team Death Wish. Lots of new additions to my highlight reel, including, but not limited to:
Annoying Matt's General most of the way back to his camp. Him being unable to decide which side of the "No way am I letting you follow me all the way back to the encampment"/"Screw it, I don't care if you follow me back to the encampment" fence he was on. The 4-5 duels that ensued in the pitch black.
Waiting in Pendarven for Wally's column to pass, only to hit them from the rear once they started fighting the inn.
Everything from the planning to the post-battle-still-green-time of the Return of Clan Brockles.
-After failing to find anything but my old leather armor in my car to wear for my disguise:
--Orias Wormwood "You look ridiculous, like some kind of Bondage Baker"
--Uncle Yossini:"Haha, yes! The safe word is cinnamon!"
-Despairing the Goblinoid Army, negating their Waaagh
-The initial charge, which led to us jumping Emerson's Hob.
-- Zafrin:"OH NO! I've been shot! Brockles, Retreat"
--Emerson: "What, retreat, seriously!? Get back in there and fight!"
--Zafrin: "Ok. Death Wish!" *Cuisinart ensues*
-Convincing the Avatar that the General had deserted, and her ordering the goblin army to slay him
-Kill stealing, but not ninja looting, Matt's general while he was having a standoff with Lord Brightstar.
--Dick Brockles:"General, the Avatar has ordered you slain as a deserter. What should we do!?"
--Matt: Feint disarm, feint disarm.
--Dick Brockles: retain, retain, positive energy concentration, cripple, cripple, rend limb.
--Matt: "I remember you..." *thud*
-Convincing the goblins to go home after the general and the avatar had fallen.
-Convincing the goblins to turn on and kill the ogres and trolls who did not want to let us go home.
-In the aftermath of the battle, doing a time-check and realizing "Oh, snap, we still have another hour of Brockles Hijinks to ensue."
-In recapping the battle with Zafrin, us having a sudden realization and exclaiming: "Wait... we can do this all the damn time!"
Special thanks to Dick, Flick, Slick, Tick, Mick, and Broke Brockles for an epic win, and to Zafrin Yahtzee for making it all possible.
Great times with the witch hunters, good to see Keillor and Shamus back. Hearing Kwildar got Templar felt so good, it was almost like I got the list myself. Lessons with the younger hunters, especially Dominic, who is coming a long way.
Steve and Judge, A+ war, would war again. Props to Matt for his portrayal of the General.

This was a CRAAAAZY event, but well worth it ^_^
Friday:
-Within 5 minutes of entering the Inn, having Sannyiah come up to me saying "So, right now it's you and me and Leandra..." No pressure...
-Well, the fact that I almost passed out from heat exhaustion isn't exactly a highlight, but the fact that my nap kept getting interrupted because I was needed was a nice feeling.
-Return of both Mothers Jarren and Rosa. Gaians EVERYWHERE!!!
Saturday:
-Light clergy breakfast/meeting! Laura, the french toast was delicious
-Light clergy shower!!! This, everyone, is the new light clergy hazing ritual. You are not initiated until you have showered with us in a rainstorm
-Firetruck...Chris Z I hate you...
-I can't even describe the relief that flooded over Marika when she saw Lucas and Ilana during Main Mod
NPC:
-Return of Martha, the bubbliest bard
-Drow then a necromancer, both of which are things I've never NPC's before, so it was a cool change
Sunday:
-High School of the gods. Drew...this is happening
-Witchhunter school on the monastary porch. ALL the lessons
REALLY awesome event. Can't wait for August

- Pre-event, everyone freaking out on Facebook that there would only be 3 healers in attendance. And then rubbing that in everyone's faces at check-in.
- Last-minute deciding to NPC all weekend as the High Priestess of Enax. Then getting captured around 6AM Saturday morning, because while everyone thought I could absolute power majesty, I had battlecasting... and then being held prisoner for 4 hours, being asked the same pointless questions that I didn't know the answers to (and Steve just shrugging his shoulders when I asked him what I knew. "You're the tyrannical High Priestess of the war" was the only info I got ._.) And I was only asked about the alliances we had made very briefly.
- Steve giving the order to kill me and then telling me to go PC. .___. Instead, I played a high level hobgoblin torturer.
- Dread surgery on somebody from Ostcliff, severing his foot and putting it in his stomach.. Never met him IG or OOG, so I don't actually know who it was. But the RP was fantastic - especially when he ran into some friends on the way back to town and cut his own stomach open to remove the foot and have it reattached.
- All of the torturing. I just wish I had remembered I had red makeup pencils in the tent to actually draw the Enax fist on their faces before the rain started and we stopped taking prisoners.
- Hiding in a tent from the rain, Matt M and I telling horror stories about KR to a bunch of first-time players. "And then there was that time we were hiding in a tent during the worst rain storm ever." "And there was thunder and lightning--" and lightning hits the tree next to the tent.... >.> Immediate running down to logistics.
- Marching on the inn while playing the General's swords, every time we stopped to dress the lines i would turn around and mouth "DRESS RIGHT, DRESS!" and doing the arm movements for the command at Matt C. Which of course made him laugh and almost brought down the wrath of the general and commander on him... hehe. I was at band camp until Friday of the event, I couldn't help it.
- Keeping up with Matt M being chased down to the lake. Ridiculous.
--
- Every interaction between Terezi and Karkat was priceless.
- Licking the water panther. It felt like licking a wet cat and a fish at the same time. "KARKLES HE TASTES LIKE LICORICE >:]" And snagging all those scales was the best idea ever...
- Teaching intercept to Belegchand. Karkat freaking out when we told him Tari was going to throw fire at me.
- Sniffing/licking all the things. I think some people might have been genuinely freaked out by that... hehehe....
Lowlight: discovering two quater-sized spiders and what we believed to be an earwig on my sleeping bag. Never camping in the woods again, especially since I ended up not sleeping there at all. Fortunately, my phone survived the rain.
Overall really great event, thanks Steve

-Helping with New Player Mod. Was good enough not to use my bow and just poke things with my dagger if they got too close or went for one of the non-weapon types.
-Just doing a bit of alchemy Friday night... I hear something outside, glance up and see Wally being trailed by a group of goblins. "What is.. Tan-" Tanis starts to glance back, we both get struck once. Both of us had the same idea to escape. Outside: "... I don't have my bow!" and rushing back in shortly after to make sure none of my things were stolen.
-NPC: "I'm not getting any of my things back, am I" "You're not getting arrested, consider that reward enough" "._."
-Teaching. There were so many new alchemists to teach, I had a lot of fun. I never expected to be teaching anyone as this character (With Zeleretch and Rudolph around) so I hope my improvised lessons were acceptable enough.
-Seriously thought the Count was going to kill a man for not knowing how to read (short version)
-Concealed Barrage :)
-Crazy Alchemist was *craaaaazy*
-Hanging out down in Ostcliff during the heavy part of the storm before mini-main mod. Getting drenched during mini main mod and just deciding not to care lol Though, I think this prompted my nap before main mod.
-Syl's first Mass. Learning about what a 'focus' is. "...People can come back from the dead? I thought that was necromancy."
-If I had known I was going to be playing Ilana for Main Mod, I would have brought her stuff. But, it was a quick joy and the reactions of others when Ilana and Lucas appeared were fun. (Kudos to the new guy who immediately thought the enemy had broken through the defenses with a portal. That's usually a good way of thinking) Expect to see more of her in August (though not much more sadly. War front's are delicate things) She learned a handful of things really fast from interactions and has a list of stuff to look up when she visits town on top of having a party from Rose (can't wait!)
-Calling Mark 'Josh' because I hadn't seen either in a long time and I clearly knew too many Marks, so I must have been wrong about his name (It was great seeing you again though!)
-Syl lowlight: Being ordered by Sir Colin not to shoot the Dark Elves that randomly walked into the inn. :/
-Syl's first undead. It's a good thing they had been explained to her before, or she might have just panicked a bit.
-A Drake! An Earth Drake no less! One character goal accomplished
-Archery range
-Ib learning a surprise accidentally (sorry Ganon!)
-Trying to learn a bit about a confusing Orc and an impossible Londwyn.

-Hanging out down in Ostcliff during the heavy part of the storm before mini-main mod. Getting drenched during mini main mod and just deciding not to care lol Though, I think this prompted my nap before main mod.
-Syl's first Mass. Learning about what a 'focus' is. "...People can come back from the dead? I thought that was necromancy."
-If I had known I was going to be playing Ilana for Main Mod, I would have brought her stuff. But, it was a quick joy and the reactions of others when Ilana and Lucas appeared were fun. (Kudos to the new guy who immediately thought the enemy had broken through the defenses with a portal. That's usually a good way of thinking) Expect to see more of her in August (though not much more sadly. War front's are delicate things) She learned a handful of things really fast from interactions and has a list of stuff to look up when she visits town on top of having a party from Rose (can't wait!)
-Calling Mark 'Josh' because I hadn't seen either in a long time and I clearly knew too many Marks, so I must have been wrong about his name (It was great seeing you again though!)
-Syl lowlight: Being ordered by Sir Colin not to shoot the Dark Elves that randomly walked into the inn. :/
-Syl's first undead. It's a good thing they had been explained to her before, or she might have just panicked a bit.
-A Drake! An Earth Drake no less! One character goal accomplished
-Archery range
-Ib learning a surprise accidentally (sorry Ganon!)
-Trying to learn a bit about a confusing Orc and an impossible Londwyn.

Oh man.
Friday NPC shift- Goblins for New Player Mod. More goblins and...Hm...Goblins.
As Keavy
What an emotion twisting confusing wave storm for her!
Literally finishing getting into costume, Billiam inviting Keavy over to the war camp and talk about a meeting of chaos warriors. And then...
Cue Orias Wormwood.
"We haven't had a conversation yet, have we?" I died. Keavy was nervous, but stood firm with the conversation. Great RP ensued!
Immediately followed by a conflicting argument between Billiam and Elawyn, Keavy stuck in the middle.
Saturday:
Pursuing/fighting the enemy goblin forces with the majority of Travance. Getting captured while fighting and trying to save Bran after he was captured. Watched him being tortured, and nearly being next in line for it until Ardentfire portaled us out.
Coming back to the war camp to be given another mission: save the wolves from the kennel master! Typhon and Keavy = best duo ever for anything involving wolves! Found the wolves, told them we meant no harm, took care of the kennel master, and sent the wolves on their way. Mod = broken.
Coming back again only to be sent to take care of another mission. Don't remember much about this since I hurt my ankle at that mod.
But returned to the baronial manner and was surprised to see Caelvan back in the proper!
After on and off resting my ankle, it got hurt to a point where I finally had it wrapped and non-com'd for a while. Being carried by your boyfriend while you're injured is fun
Enjoyed coming up with a terrible nightmare in the inn, sharing an intimate crying session with Lady Elawyn (once again haha).
Anhil becoming a vassal to Kaladonia! Ceremonial hilarity including Lord Brightstar taking off his pants post-vassaling Haha!
Learning to finally teach somewhere in between all this.
Feast, yummy chicken.
Main Mod:
Holding the line with Bran, Wolfgar, and others, accidentally freaking out some of our own from behind with Keavy's growling..
Go off to scout with Caelvan and Bran, come back to tell the rest to advance only to be told we won haha.
Late night wtf random water panther thing capturing mod.
Sunday:
Learned Bear Strength from Caelvan before he left.
Had a nice conversation with Tanis and Syl.
Saving a family from a group of Enaxian men who held them hostage with Oren.
Sunday Morning Archery Practice!!
Last hurrah with the orcs and those commanding them..
So much fun, and Keavy didn't die! (I was nearly certain she would haha) 'Till next event!

Oh yeah, and this:
Caelvan: I need to strengthen my will.
Sir Colin: Hmm...A lesson to test your willpower? I've got it. Keavy will get strip and dance around you and you have to see how long you can last! You'll have to think of King and country, and possibly me naked.
-DYING from laughter-
(had to go back and edit this a bit to make it more appropriate lmao)

Steve and I just looked at each other, looked at Jess, and before she could get her sword out, did over 600 damage. And were yelled at by Lethias, but bonded with Mixolydia over it in the morningIlana Darkwood wrote: -Syl lowlight: Being ordered by Sir Colin not to shoot the Dark Elves that randomly walked into the inn. :/

Such a fun weekend despite the rain. Let's see...
Friday:
Paperwork. realizing at 2 am that SHIT THESE GUYS ARE KILLING BLOW ACTIVE I DON'T WANNA PC ANYMORE
Sleeping soundly in the Mage's Guild as usual. No ice elemental this month but the weather wasn't awful.
Saturday:
Making breakfast as usual.
Probably my favorite exchange, between Gideon, Ib (disguised as an elf), and myself...
Gideon: If you want to piss off the Guildmaster, propose to Mirwen.
Ib: *glancing over* Oh, well, you know, maybe-
Mirwen: I like men of status.
Laughter from Gideon (and a roleplay point! ...Quinarians are bitches.)
Got my Wytchwood staff made, yay! (and later a warning that the wytchwood might be acting up again, yay...)
Crafting parties, a delicious feast, brazen mass and a wonderful history lesson from Gideon (I spent a lot of time around him this month.), and of course havoc at the Inn for main mod. Then, as he put it, a reading from the very crotchety cards of Carlos.
Sunday:
Quiet, really. Managed to miss most of the fighting, and was coaxed into the arm-wrestling tournament. Don't underestimate the mages or elves!!
Great event, thanks all, it was wonderful seeing friends again and I can't wait to come back!

So this event was the best I have been to in a while.
Friday:
Being in charge of the defenses of the Assembly of the Banners. Nerve racking but successful.
The battle with the Dark Troll near Alisandria, used my itching powders for the win! I didn't get the Mithril polearm that he dropped seeing as how some Alisandrian took it >.<
The small feast given to Ostcliff by the White Lotus Trading Company, thank you Brian :)
Saturday:
The general attacking the inn in the early morning hours...
Sneaking into the goblinoid war encampment looking for treasure, seeing the general and noticing he had two swords that my treasure sense detected. Running from the encampment when the general went to stand up. (not knowing he just wanted to talk ^.^) Used 5 uses of windwalker and still got caught lol matt you are fast as hell. Took a dread surgery from the Hobgoblin Torturer, did my best to rp the entire thing and I guess people liked it lol.
Getting let go from the encampment so I could tell travance that I was the last to be left alive and all others would be killed, stumbling on the path back seeing as I was missing a foot and running into Try and Nyle. I asked Tyr to reattach my foot and he said he needed it, so I took Nyle's sword and sliced open my own gut to get it back out.
The march of the War Parties... I fought the General and Survived :)
Great Feast :)
Main mod as an infected ogre and not hearing most of the damage called on me because people were screaming in my ear and I was screaming. thank you pat hand for catching most of the damage caught on me and letting me know about it, you saved me from a rules violation. It was so hard to hear most of that, damn main mod not doing that again lol.
After main mod being Ostcliff being attacked by Necromancers a total of 4 times, 2 in the caravan and 2 by the stump.
Being hit with a harvest your soul and being saved because Dante is awesome!!!!! Had he not grabbed me and had the healers not healed me from crit I would have been dead. 10 seconds left on my death count when I got healed. Love healers.
Sunday:
Learned my Dragon Spirit :) sadly its just blue cause everyone else gets special stuff, but who cares I get to have more fun
I also learned Cleave from Bran with the help of Billium and Keavy thank you all for an awesome lesson :)
then getting home and sleeping :)
All in all great event thanks guys for a freaking blast of a time!!!!!!

One I missed:
Charles D, playing a Hobgoblin, being interrogated in the Inn: "ODO! HELP ME! COMMAND GOBLINOID!"
Odo, from outside, in a sing-song voice: "mind shield!"
