November 2012 Highlights

I was very glad to be in attendance.

I enjoyed making 50 servings of root vegetable/beef stew Friday, even though way too many people helped themselves without paying.

Friday night's Witch Hunter Mod was great (this includes the section in the Inn as well) - enough combat for the bloodthirsty, and plenty of RP and thinking for others. Got to use some of my dustier lores, for which I thank Kristen. This led to my first ever Scrying Ritual.

It was a hoot to have Sam R playing a mook undead. I took advantage of it and killed him a few times, as I am certain such an opportunity will not soon again present itself. I also enjoyed the usually gregarious Steve O portraying the taciturn, hot tempered "Third Hunter."

Fireplace in the Cook's Room! Warmth ftw.

Sam D searching for her PJs. She coud have been wearing them and still would have forgotten where they were. :cool:

Saturday - made more stew, and ate some of Kleiden's wonderful lentil (with a touch of sausage/bacon) stew.

After the Mages' Guild meeting, walking with Carlotta to the Inn and testing her to see if I believed her ready to advance. She passed, mostly by having the guts to correct me on a (deliberate) error I made. For where she wants to go, she has to be confident enough to correct a master. Good RP session which I heartily enjoyed.

Research on many topics, which led to me bailing Alex T's NPC out of jail and helping (IG, and with no knowledge that it would lead to) with the hook for part of Saturday night's mods.

Sunday - Damn you Dan Gill for buying everyone breakfast - I made 45 omelettes, many with challah toast. I could have provided toast for everyone, if people had not helped themselves to one of the loaves.

Sorcery and teaching - completed another Scry, a tricky permanency (there were two enchantments on the item and I could not personally touch it), and a nice piece of Orange Sorcery (if I say so myself), all 4th ranks. In between I gave Quan Liu an advanced lesson (which he said was one of the hardest he received, and yet not a hand or weapon was brandished), and started Carlotta's initiation into her next path, while teaching a skill to the Guildmaster. No apprentices, but some fairly interesting itinerant students.

The Scry for Tobar will lead to some long term RP for us both.

I must say that Norm rolled as well as Jackie, so as long as I stay away from Jonny G's dice, I should be fine in the future.

In between thee were lots f new players, many with whom I was able to interact. You guys did fine and I hope to see more of you in the future.

Friday-

Dopplerganger Ekatarina who was still pissed off about things from last event and had to work with the most ORGANIZED LIGHT CLERGY EVER.

"People are going to know something's up with ALL of light clergy rolls in together" Kate

Changing into Niena and discovering I had two right ears and couldn't figure out why. Morowin saved the day, after getting a Lore: Morowin lesson.

Saturday-

-Feeling a little lost as Niena since all the people she normally RPs with weren't around yet or didn't make it this event. ButI survived and met Oscliff and had some good times.

-Realized I need to get healing salves or scrolls or something... Maybe at least learn waylay. But that can be another month.

Sunday-

Low light- HOW THE HELL DO YOU GET SPIRIT GUM OUT OF YOUR HAIR???

I have to say this was a pretty A+ event between the WH stuff and the Chronicler stuff, especially when they got tangled. The light clergy attempting to interrogate me while I had other, more important matters to take care of with the Hunters was almost as big a highlight as how fast the entire town swarmed them and cut them down as soon as Raven swung at me. Not until they had all fallen did anyone bother to stop and ask me what had happened. I'm touched, I really am. :cool:

Even if the VonRitters ordered Magnus and I to stay neutral in the matter, the trip to the House tomb was still a great mod, as was all the resulting ripple effect of RP that was shared among the hunters and many others for the rest of the event.

Also, looking forward to beginning house testing on the next generation.

I have to say that Chronicler doesn't get much attention anymore, so to have neutral god stuff being the focus for a change was cool. Furthermore, as a story and as a mod it seemed to exemplify the difficulties and nuances of neutral god worship, especially the ever-curious Chroniclerites.

I must say, there was something strangely cathartic about cutting down what appeared to be the light clergy.

I love Chroniclerite plots. All you have to do to get involved or learn what's going on is to ask.

On Friday, I was told to muster not one but two groups to attack the cult. Between Caelvan and I, we were ready in under 15 minutes.

Some convenient gnolls provided an excellent guard recruitment test. If you're walking, you're doing it wrong!

After many, many months, finally learning some new bard songs. And, this time, from one of my own students. Jen, your face when I told you that you would be teaching me for once was delightful.

Mage's Guild cupcakes: they're magically delicious!

My first death. I managed to keep running for ten minutes before looking down and realizing I left the cliff quite a while ago.

Lots of swordplay lessons. Slamming Zathir's pants clear off.

A very interesting discussion with Aleister. It's been a long time coming. As a result, I have new short and long term goals.

Val's Fanfare of Ego Inflation.

My loot from main mod: 9 gold, 6 silver, 51 cents.

NPCing the craziest wildmage. Then, the Ghost of Chaos Past.

A Scrying ritual that will lead to another very interesting Scrying ritual.

I'd have to say my favorite part of the event was during my npc shift. A major OCD/ major phobia of nice people wildmage hell-bent on sorting the rock pile outside the Pendarvin statehouse.

this may have been my favorite event to date. How perfect, as I've realized that this was my one year anniversary of joining knight realms!

Overall: Chroniclerite plot! This is the first time I really felt plot applied to me so much more than just being a member of Travance

Friday night: playing Adrianna again! Knowing this time so much more about her, including age, motivations, and especially her color. Better yet, first use of spirit of the dragon.
-getting my first role play point as one of my characters since January
-new players this moon, I adore you all. I loved interacting with you as both of my characters!
-realizing how screwed I potentially was going to be as soon as I returned as my chroniclerite priestess Sunday morning after being attacked by "Chroniclerites" all night
-realizing I was knocked to unconscious more times in one night than I had been the entirety of my year here. I like getting to play a front line fighter sometimes, but I think I'm glad I don't do it all the kind

Saturday:
-while I wish I could have Been more involved in the Chroniclerite plot from the beginning.....Saturday til 6 was mostly about feast.
-So much thanks to Jen and a few of the new/newer players! I couldn't have pulled it off without you!
-being asked for my recipe
-being part of Kaladonia, for many many reasons. I love my new land, it fits me so perfectly.
-meeting another Priest of Chronicler for the first time IG.
-Seeker of Chronicler. Enough said
-scholar mod. It was really cool having to recreate ancient events, and a lot of fun as well. It was also nice to have some real impact as a scholar other than for research
-Being asked to move in with Almat's boyfriend. Ball is basically our one year anniversary, so that will be really awesome as well.
-all the rp that came with those journal pages. Those were really amazingly well done, and the affect of the ending.....wow

Sunday:
-First arch caster lesson!
-lessons from Typhon.
-impact of watching Dr. Structo and the seeker slain right in front of us. Again, so much love for this weekend plot.

I know there were so many more things that I am blanking on right now. Mostly, thanks to everyone for coming despite the conditions, and making this an amazing event!
