July 2012 Highlights

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!

Goblinoid army advancing on Travance wanting to kill us all? Hmm, must be Tuesday. Good times abounded, and a great event.

Friday:
- Hunter Mod. So many traps...
-The return of AJ as Merrick. Good to have you back, mate.
-RP with Kwildar
-Goblin Murder Squad.

Saturday:
-Mithril Pledge hookah. Needs to happen.
-Fall asleep during clergy meeting. Wake up and Kwildar is Arch-Bishop.
-Master Warrior lesson. The safety word is firetruck.
-Blood capsule + Berserker Rage
-Being captured and tortured. So much good rp before, during, and after.
-Epic outdoor communal clergy shower during the downpour. Hands down, most refreshing shower I've ever had at KR
-Shield line with Wulfgar, Merrick, and co. Bring it, greenies.
-Mercutio being helpful during Dimitry's Courage lesson.
- "I remember when I was poor enough to need to carry money."

Sunday:
-Discussions on talking weapons, and what it might sound like if Pesmerga spoke to Kwildar through his staff.
-Om nom, calzone, nom

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!!!!!!

Despite having to go non-combat for the first time ever, I had a surprisingly good, if not emotionally jarring event. Thanks everyone that was so helpful and concerned OOG about my injury - it is much appreciated and all seems to be just about the same post event, so no worries.

Highlights:

-I spent most of my time at the War Camp giving out missions, which I suspected was going to be long stretches of boring lonely time as I waited there, but was pleasantly surprised to find people coming and going consistently. I got to chat with a lot of people of all different levels that I don't normally get a chance to IG, and that was pretty great. I was glad to see the mission system worked out as well as it did. In general, it was great to talk to a lot of players I really haven't had much interaction with, new and old.

-As always, my highlights are all the vassals and druids/rangers - looking forward to adding some new ones to our ranks in the coming months too.

-Late night meltdown Friday night, full of long-term plot information no one in the room could understand.

-Can't forget Elawyn's biggest social regret - sitting at the front at Mass, loosing her cool, and questioning Marika. This is why she always hides in the back. Later, great talks with Rosa and Kwildar in partial result.

-On a personal note, I've always played Elawyn as pretty emotional and brutally honest - my saying is that if I haven't had a good cathartic cry once an event, it just hasn't been a good event - but this event seemed to take that to another level. Maybe it was because I couldn't take out any of my aggression on NPCs, but the number of arguments (and touching comfort sessions) El got into was ridiculous this weekend. To Danielle, to Sam M., to Gene, and to anyone else, thanks for such excellent roleplay, and for always knowing the difference between whats in character, and whats for real. Lots of love.

Stay safe all and see you in a few short weeks.

Well rested, so2 RP highlights and a touch of humor:

Joe P as the prisoner we (Lord Blackthorne, Dame Hartwoode, and I) had to question. His RP was excellent. Jenn was the good cop, Joe, the dispassionate cop, and I was the heavy. Takes longer than it used to for me to burn a willpower. Not certain I like where this is heading.

Excellent two scenes with Quan Liu.

Someone relatively new to the game stayed in Pendarvin, and near the end I mentioned many obtain nicknames, some by deeds, others by accidents, and others through happenstance. When he nodded, I said, "Welcome to Pendarvin, Sardines." I hasten to add I did not come up with the name, but the entire statehouse thought it was appropriate.

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!"
