November 2012 Highlights

NPC:
Being scared into the ground by Magnus as a chaos elemental and then returning with my friends because the town was mean
--
Ilana:

-Bringing Reynard to town to reunite him with his sister! (Big mistake! )

-Gnolls kidnapping people? When the guard chased the big group to the lake, I had this inkling and stayed near Kaladonia.. and found a whole group trying to whisk people away! Nope.

-Curing Insanities! Especially the interaction with Little Miss. OCD/Panic Attacks (there were more, but I think I took care of the worse of them at least)

-Evil Chroniclers...? Nope, not allowed. Especially after finding out about who were Shades. Then I got to the front line and started all of the AOE during pre-Main Mod. I have gotten surprisingly fast at rattling off verbals for healing at least. But all of the pain X.x

-Having the Seeker point out Ilana's Chronicler past. Sometimes people kinda make her want to apologize for switching over to Galladell. That was one of those times.

-Ilana's perfect day was filled with shades.
Also, had to kill Lucas (sort of) again. I'm extremely surprised Steve Oros wasn't involved for a change (or maybe he was)

-Learning there was some Chornicler erased from history that could have been Ilana's friend That was an interesting plot throw-in.

-Now, to search Loez for a needle in a haystack.

Syl:
-Witch Hunter mod was great! I kind of wished I was there as Ilana to throw out all of the lores later on, but Ilana got to learn about what is going on anyways (Killing Demons with Posi Energy? She loves this plan. Especially with an Arch Demon to murder.)

-WH lessons. They were a lot different than when Ilana learned them, which I think made me enjoy it that much more

-Hunting down Tanis during Wytchwood mod. Now that I understand the rules of a few things better, if that ever happens again I will have the situation handled better (Though, apparently I had it handled *much* more than I thought)

-Alchemy!

Very enjoyable event for me all around, with plenty of great RP with many people.

-Lots of lessons. I still love teaching, and the couple of lessons I gave this event just reinforced that. Especially the very "colorful" lessons I gave Ming and Carlotta. The one for Carlotta was my first time teaching someone magic, and it felt like a whole new area of RP for me.

-Mage's Guild cupcakes!

-Waking up from a nap after feast, going downstairs, and finding out everyone had left for Main Mod 5 minutes before. I booked it down the path and followed the sounds of battle. Once I found Aleister I stuck to him like glue and fought by his side nearly the whole time.

-GRAPPLE KICK!

-Excellent sparring with Tobar to learn Defensive Fighting.

-Crazy Sunday mod was crazy. I was kinda disappointed the big bad wasn't actually a True Warlock, especially after I went through the trouble of dissecting one of his hands.

See everyone at the Ball!

I was very under the weather this month, but seeing everyone was wonderful, and I did have good rp all around. Thanks everybody! I'm glad to know you are all as crazy as I am, to come out without power or heat.

-Winks using Illusory Script to draw bunny ears over Gideon Weaveforger's head. I could NOT stop laughing.

-Used Meld with Earth to totally save my butt the first month I've had it. Forsee much of this in the future.

-Getting to watch the Yahtze's roleplay. Seriously, you guys make me so glad I decided to play a gypsy.

-Best mage's guild meeting ever. Cupcakes. Oo and I have a pretty flag to wear on my belt now.

-Not getting blown up by sorcery. Always a plus.

-Marigold seems like she will soon be moving in unexpected directions thanks to several things not going as she planned.

- Lastly, the biggest highlight of my weekend was finally earning my very first higher list lesson ever. Haroldson was my teacher, and provided me with plenty of food for thought. Most of the lesson involved discussing where Carlotta sees herself in ten years, which was strange for her, being a woman who lives primarily in the moment.

P.S. Can't wait for ball.

Aemorniel Silverbow wrote: ~Chroniclerite bonding time with Lethias. For the longest time Aemorniel thought Lethias hated her. Now she feels there is some comradeship built. When Vince was revealed as a shade during Main Mod my PC was more upset that all her Chroniclerite bonding time was possibly fake and Lethias would go back to hating her when the real one was back.

Lethias doesn't hate anyone, even those he finds endlessly grating (not that she's one of those, either), but that conversation can be finished IG.

KR continues to be the silver lining when bad things happen. When life throws a franken-storm your direction and says no to power and clean water, you go in the woods and play pretend. This being said, please no more hurricanes in NJ.

And now some highlights!

Friday Night:
-Witch Hunter Plot and Survival Mode vs. Undead. Never thought I'd be happy to have different lores so I could prioritize. Kristin, Steve, JJ, and Jen, loved your NPCs!
-AAAAAAAAGHHH! I'M SCARIER THAN YOOOOOOU! (Magnus, I love you. All bro-mo)
-BIRTHDAY DEATH! Called it. Chaos Elementals: 1, Misaki: 0
-Misaki flipping a sh*t, scaring the stuffing out of Maxwell, and getting talked down by Archer. I've now seen it all. Awesome RP, A+. Would rp again.
-Best of all perhaps, SLEEP. ON FRIDAY NIGHT!

Saturday:
-After the prior night's events, seeing Reynard for the first time in a while. Didn't talk for long, but good people dropping by makes Misaki happy.
-I can honestly say that I've never had a more awkward moment than when Misaki was hugged all out, in front of others in the Inn...by the Guildmaster Arden. That. Was. Weird. But also humbling. Thanks Norm for that special moment.
-Appeasing the Volcano God (Antrim) with brownies! Or so I thought until...
-Blowing up Honor's Peak. Oops, my bad. But hey! At least I got a cool dagger out of it
-Stealing a piece of the journal right out of a Scaremortal's pocket. +1 roguery, -1 arm. A fair trade-off.
-Galen's Master Warrior test! Galen, Misaki, and Dominic vs. The Masters. Holy crap what a fight. Also, "FROM THE TOP ROPE!"
-Om nom nom feast (and delicious delicious dessert)
-Holy Lessons Batman! Teaching dragon things, master warrior things, and everything else! Man I love teaching...
-SQUIRE LATHIEL, SAVING THE DAY, ALL DAY, EVERY DAY!

Main Mod:
-Blowing through Crystal Spire mod #1, effectively blowing my promo...only to discover it was one of TWO shards...oops. Which leads us to...
-REAL MAIN MOD, aka Marathon Mod. Being part of the select few guarding the scholars as they worked on destroying the other crystal. Keith and Alex, I can honestly say that-that was one of the most tiring, nerve-wracking, stress-inducing mods ever. One healer, 4 guardians, 3 rounds of invulnerable baddies and surviving long enough for the scholars to save us all. I have never gotten more satisfaction than when Calvaen and I finally got to smash that #%@$ shard. Mission: complete!
-Glorious, glorious sleep.

Sunday Morning (and NPC):
-The realization that I can never honor combat Tanis, because Rapid Fire and Kill Shot. Darn Master Marksmen
-Spending most of NPC shift as an elemental, switching between all the different elements, and getting all the energy out. Special props to seeing Quan Liu going SotD. That was pretty awesome.
-Learning Defiant Cover from Alister, aka "How-to-not-die 101." Once again, another reason to fear Tanis.


Unfortunately I'm MIA until January, so have fun with the ball and the next event and I'll see you all in the new year!

FANTASTIC event. Amazing for me on a personal level and for the plot as a whole.

Friday:
-Tris got a girlfriend! Mwahaha. Sorry for the backlash it caused, mainly to Anhil, but oh my god what fantastic roleplay it caused.
-Fighting alongside Caelvan. Tris has been feeling like nobody thinks she'll ever be useful in combat despite her hard training, so being kept at his side all weekend really gave her a huge confidence boost. (:

Saturday:
-Helping Sharone in the kitchen! I think that was the tastiest feast I've ever had and it was an honor to be your official taste-tester/chicken mutilator. My hands still smell like onion.
-Vassaling to Kaladonia, finally!
-Getting to see Caelvan propose to Keavy... ahh my heart
-Had a really good time NPCing main mod. Combat with all of my friends was fun, and then there was that moment when Sam R nerfed his blows to match mine and feigned horrible shoulder pain when I actually landed a blow... I still can't believe that happened.
-Finally getting to talk to Anhil about the whole Paige thing. Also, that wasn't sympathy.
-More trailing after Caelvan as if attuned to him. This time trying to figure out why there were so many corrupt nature's heralds and hunting down gnolls. Also, stupid 'o clock came early down near Pendarvin. Absolutely hysterical.


Sunday:
-Jonas. -shakes head-
-Being invited down to Winterdark with a few of other Kaladonians by Dame Mixolydia. It was a pleasure to get to dine with her, and also quite interesting, even though Tris had no idea what to say in response to most of the conversation. Hehe.
