July 2012 Highlights

Last, an hour plus RP session in the Inn with Hadrian while waiting for the Goblin attack. Some of my best and most consistently enjoyable RP scenes have been with him, and this one, on the topic of the Weave, Sorcery in general, and White Sorcery in particular will lead to many more talks. For one accomplished in magic, Edwin has much to learn.

Thank you.

I know I had to leave the event early, but it was a very nice event. Even with the rain.

I was, at first, skeptical with the event. I thought "Oh, just another New Gaaldron War, I've been through 5 or 6 of them. No big whoop." I was wrong. I missed a few events so I was behind in the whole lead-up.

It was great! There was so much racism and hatred around!

Fantastic job everyone involved!

Friday Night:

Going on a simple scouting mission with Moirya while invisible, then being quick-bound and dragged off to the Goblin War Camp. Screaming all the way there, through a gag, and having no voice for the rest of the event. (Worth it!)

Roleplaying fear so intense that I had to laugh at my captors, because the only other reaction I could of had was to cry. Having Matt decide it'd be better to kill me than to let me live. Killing blow 1.... 2... 3.... 4... DIVE ROLL! Then getting incapped, and sent right to crit.

3 and a half minutes into the crit count, getting rescued from the middle of the goblin war camp by Moirya and Victor. Literally being unable to see because of poor night vision, and following the sound of their ninja footsteps... poorly. I think I walked headfirst into at least four trees. (Also worth it!)

Going back to the War Camp, and telling the general the location of the Goblin war camp, estimated troop count, and possible location of "The elf" prisoner. Studying in the count's library.


Saturday:

"LORE: SEA!!" "Wait, really? Okay, come over here" Using Lore: Sea to not only identify and know the behaviors of Grindylows, but also to dive in and rescue a townsmember, his two swords, his shield, and the grindylows dead body from the bottom of the lake even when Anhil's Strength +5 could not. (And you thought Lore: Sea was useless.)

Playing Roulette: Okay, if it lands on 0 or 00 The game's over. =lands on 00= Okay, so I owe you... 60 Gold total now? =goes to bank= DAMMIT I COULD HAVE CALLED SECOND CHANCE! =ensuing fit of rage and madness=

Getting yelled at for gambling while the Earth Drake was attacking the inn. "Okay, when you want my dead body to be a tripping hazard for our forces, I shall get up and run into battle"

NPCing Main Mod:
Marching through puddles.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH
Hitting Lethias in disguise for suggesting a retreat.
Taking out 3 PCs with one detonation.
Exploding all the PCs.
Casually walking around the front lines to detonate on the squishies in back.

After Main Mod:
Lizardkin Drum Circle, you know who you are.


Talking with Carlos, and having my fortune read. As dismal as it looked, there was a light at the end of the journey. I would like to discuss this in more detail with him another time.

Sunday:
Drega-Brunch.

All in all, great event for Justin, bad event for Augustus. It will be interesting to see what he does next.

Oh boy, was this a busy event...

Friday night, being able to approach and talk briefly to Lady Elawyn and investigate possible futures for Annora, and then ending up at the war meeting. That was impressive...both Annora and I need to brush up on Kormyrian geography!

2-6am saturday morning NPC shift...one of the most fun NPC shifts ever. Thank you, marshals who were running that one.
From high level mod jade golem and baby golems, to the looks of awe in logistics after pulling a giant Mountain Dew out of hiding.
And then the Goblin Murder Squad. I want to reprise that role.
And wrapping it up with poison bacon mod...silly Travance, lured to their deaths by bacon. It's a good thing more enemies haven't picked up on the barony's greatest weakness...

Saturday...I don't even remember half of what happened. I know there was business at the war camp, being sent off hither and yonder, and my suffering a slight bout of dehydration. Wolf mod that was broken by Keavy and Typhon. And then running from the inn to the baronial manor and back and back in the downpour.

Count Everest wrestling a troll. In the mud. That is all. Except that there should have been popcorn for those watching.

FIRE! Spontaneously deciding with Zafrin during feast prep to try to get the fireplace going, and then finding the perfect person to pull it off. Most welcome after the rain.

Main mod: Being part of a functioning shield wall was sweet. Losing my character card, not so much. But thank you to the awesome person who found my dropped stuff in the mud.

Learning instill confidence from Tobar...Dimitri, thank you for being a trooper. And halfway through, Mercutio the Menagerist shows up at the inn...cue repeated silence and pacify spells thrown at me. Made the end of the lesson a tad tricky.

Recruited by Bran to be the subject of a new chaos warrior's fear lesson...good thing Annora has plenty of courage.

Insane and suicidal Raphael and watching bard lessons at stupid o'clock Saturday evening. Plus falling asleep in the inn and a few ghoul and ghost incursions.

Strange breakfast Sunday morning conversations...apparently fae get around quite a lot!

Sunday morning arm-wrestling competition. And silly Augustus dared bet against Mirwen...thanks for the gold, dude:D

Everyone becomes an archer!

Experiencing crit for the first time after getting thwacked with a slay Sunday morning. Ow. Thanks Na'ar for getting me back up.

All in all, a great event that got Annora investigating her possible futures a bit more.

"Yes! Be brave! Tell her you're not afraid! Tell her to get back in the kitchen and make you some pie!"

*Starts throwing pies* You want pie? I'll give you pie!!
I will take ranged weapon prof just to throw pies at people.
And believe me, with my cooking, they should at least be doing poison damage or somesuch.
