August 2012 Highlights!

Cheers to coming back to KR one event after my 10 year, cheers to all the old school faces and the new ones, & cheers to the new Paige as well. A lot of fantastic RP and IG moments, one of my best events based on just those alone. Church of Gaia all the way & yes, Gaian girly time was hilarious and awesome.

Special thank yous go to those who lent me costuming and weapons for the weekend as well as sleep gear. Great to be back :cool:

Also:
Keilor panicking after the shadow grabbed Father Lighthammer.
"That's it, I am heading to Alok Malagan right now, and hugging Pasmerga. I am pretty sure that THAT will be less painful than what she (Mother Aribeth) would do to me!"

Oh yeah, also being asked by Syl and Tanis if Keavy wanted to be adopted by them!

Such an interesting event! Thank you Mike for something that will leave my character thinking for quite a while!

Highlights:

• The Gaian clergy from the destroyed temple on Friday night was a great RP moment, and one that came back to bite Belegchand in the ass the next day.
• Being more of a scholar all event than a cavalier. The last two events I was able to settle back into a scholar groove, which is always nice, especially getting answers for research.
• Being called down to figure out the arena and the shadow, and the first thought in my mind being "Well, let's find out how old it is!" Got thrown into the ring because I had to touch the Shadow to use the prayer, but it was worth it.
• NPC Shift, being the Galmachian Battlecasting Priest... Four words to make everyone realize Main Mod had officially started "Holy Word Grant Death." Between that and picking off anyone who strayed too far from the group, well, I think I made people thankful I had pretty much no real defenses.
• Coming back in game, being told about what happened, and immediately saying I was going up to Totem Pole Hill and using my promo on the ritual itself. Thank you to the few who journeyed out there with me, and who had the same reaction to the growing coyote howls
• Another big thank you to Mike Smith for staying up late after a long day JUST to give me answers to my Expert ID. I have a feeling more research will come from that shortly!
• Working on the Scavenger Hunt Sunday, and having to go all morning with a black eye for it. The reactions were hilarious.
• An important talk or two about faith. We'll see where it goes.

Can't wait for next event!

Event highlights for me were teaching Sindarion trade proficiency, being completely terrified during Main Mod, and Gypsy lessons with Tobar. That last one was probably the best RP I've done with this character yet!

Being able to sleep in Saturday as Kleiden made breakfast.

Three high end sorcery rituals - the key to consistently beating the built in failure rate is to have anyone but Jon G roll the dice.

Taking a nap in the Inn around main mod. Waking as some mid level creatures attacked the Inn, and setting up a defense and battle casting. No PCs were killed, and by funneling their attack into choke points.

Continuing my practice of shepherding some new players. Some interesting RP with Rudolf and Angel. Rudolf's telling her that a very small box would suffice to hold what would be left of Billium if he provoked me.

Finding out that the Elf in the group was Dame Hartewood's cousin after I buffed her. This combined with my sorcery for her last month, might usher in a new era.

Side bet on a game of chess with Valentine Grey (the third newcomer in the group) that will result in him looting those I kill for a share. Excellent RP all around and I look forward to their return.

Second best highlight was Andy's aforementioned reaction to the mice in my sorcery box. Something about needing a change of trousers. I lost a cashmere scarf I bought over three decades back in Scotland. Seeing Andy's Face - Priceless.

My top highlight occurred when I was walking near the monastery, and I heard Walter Cahill's Fr. Lighthammer call out "Suck a ****" and was uncertain as to whether it was an IG or OOG utterance. I mean, this is Travance, right? Asking near the clean-up hold on Sunday and discovering it was IG.
