August 2012 Highlights!

Awesome event even from before lay on...
First Matt Calo drives by in his car and yells "Get in there's no time to explain!" Surprise I'm the backup backup wielder of Maelstrom
All of the dragon spirit conflict with Maelstrom
Learning spirit of the dragon while holding Maelstrom
Running from Bolton and Radezial when he was turned into a living statue, saving both the swords and Bolton and I from terrible fates
All of the rp that went into my gaining acceptance for druid training was just indescribably amazing... the meditation, the discussions, and finally the answer I came up with based on all of it. Definitely the best way for me to have become a druid. Now if I just had all the build to open it...
Then getting to be amazingly adorable and awkward with Yue

Awesome event, as always! Sindarion may not have been involved with the arena or some of the bigger things that happened around Travance, but that doesn't mean he wasn't busy! Some great things that happened this event:

First event as a scholar! Woo! Met up with a few other scholars of note, who showed me the ropes.

The absurdly long time it took to tell a couple of people my name at the inn. Sindarion may have been in tears at the end, but I was trying so hard not to laugh!

Going along to investigate the ball of earth from the sky, finding lizardkin, and getting hit with all the assails.

NPC shift as the great Captain Diego Alejandro Esteban and recovering his lost treasure! Had a great crowd of people as part of this mod (major props to you guys!), and accidentally setting off the alarm while leaving the cave. Could have been avoided, but running out of the cave into the sunlight all the while being chased by a horde of undead was just plain awesome.

Being asked by Gideon to help out with a higher list lesson by getting hit with a rend limb and successfully resisting it with the power of Brazen, much to the surprise of both Sindarion and Wulfgar.
"That's never happened before." "Not for me, either! It usually just.. comes off."

Learning trade proficiency with Arza. What we both thought was going to be something very silly and turned out to be a very eye-opening and serious lesson.

And lastly, Sindarion learned the Dwarven language, a longtime goal of his... but from one of the Grumbleguts. He had no idea what he was getting himself into.

I just need to say that I (and any of my IG students) have asked the same question of every druid or wannabe druid at KR for something like the last 5-6 years, and while I've heard plenty of good answers, Tatsuya was the first person to ever give Elawyn a bit of an epiphany with his. So. Good.

My highlights were all the druids, rangers, wannabe druids, new druids, and interested outliers that either spent some time with me throughout the weekend or came out to the Grove. I'll be honest, I had planned on staying close to the Proper with my knee acting up, but after receiving multiple IG messages about how eager people were to go the Grove I knew I had to drag you all out there even if the place is overgrown at the moment and something of a hike. Thank you all for making me happy for the effort every time.

Other than that, watching Orias get defeated in the ring was probably Elawyn's biggest highlight, and Kwildar's comment to me when he was in critical was one of mine.

A great game as always.

Meeting new faces in Travance and giving them a tour around.

Running the Temple Mod was fantastic though it took so long. Had some great moments and everyone involved did amazing! Goley that was the best dollar I ever spent and I hope it comes back to haunt me.

SLEEP

Running around with the various Vassals and getting to know them better.

Awesome RP with Darson

Late night hookah with the Rallenfolly's leading to bomb mod.

SLEEP AGAIN!

Finishing Master Warrior Training. Chris that was an AWESOME lesson. I was tired, sore, and excited to fight more all when it was over. Now it's time to learn to rip off limbs!

My favorite moment this game was with Elawyn whom I've been trying to corner to talk to for some I'll say 4ish months?

Me: Lady Blackthorne, it's good to see you. (Facepalm)
Kristen: (laughs) Excuse me?
Me: Alright, I'm done for now, I screwed it up before I started. (headshakes and walks away)

Finally lord of Drega'mire. Survey says that my form of evil will have to be Lycanthropy.

Who wants to take bets how long it will take for Aleister to go evil just like the rest?
