July 2012 Highlights

Not bad.

Top Five highlights:

Number Five: A Long Way From The Gutter.
Alexander's return and his new apathetic outlook on life. Many people were caught off guard by it. It seemed like everyone he came in contact with was affected, which made for an interesting time.

Number Four: Post-Mortem Engagement.
Hearing about Lorelai's death sent Alexander into an interesting mindset. Caution, and common sense, we're thrown into the wind. A marriage proposel at knife point. In the inn. Surrounded by people. Hilarity and shock soon followed.

Number Three: Firetruck.
A Master Warrior lesson gone horribly, horribly right.

Number Two: Devil's Advocate.
A warrior from Voletta (sp.) survives. Alexander, no longer carting about his own life, puts his life on the line to save his. Offending nobles in the process.

Number One: The Noble, The Peasant, AndThe Talk.
A wonderful, and enlightening conversation with Mixolydia. Much of Alexander's faith in certain Nobility was restored. I wonder where it will go.

Thank you to Steve, Judge, the rest of the STs, the marshals, and all of the NPCs for all their hard work in less than desirable weather conditions. Till next time.

Valeria..?
-

-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.

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. :pinch:

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 :lol:

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 morning

Ooohhh...now I kinda wish I hadn't been portaled! (although Keavy wouldn't have been happy haha!)
