November 2012 Highlights

What? Camp Sac has no power, you say? No way to heat or light the Mage's Guild, you say? Candles and fireplaces for the Inn? ...Sounds like a great weekend to go!!

-Pre-event: Convincing someone that yes, it would be a good idea to show up and that they shouldn’t skip this event because reasons and sad, lonely elves are not a good thing.

-Friday: arrive early at camp sac, pick bunk and set up bed in the Mage’s Guild, get candles ready because no power.
-Hanging around the inn after lay-on, deciding indoors was better than outdoors. At least there were fireplaces.
-Magical Wall lessons and debates on which other new spells I should learn, as well as doing some teaching of my own. Always on my mind is how the hell one teaches the teacher.
-Apparently Lore: Mirwen kind of exists now...what?
-Having to actually climb into the Guildhall through a window, because somehow the door got accidentally OOG locked...Mirwen: 2, Quinarian stereotypes: 0. (Actually, it was knock window open with staff, move barrel, climb onto jutting structural log, climb onto barrel, hoist self through window, unlock door to the surprise of the Silverbow brothers.)
-Quote of the evening: ‘Oh, don’t debate elven culture with the Quinarian who’s too tired to watch her tongue.’
-Sleep. Sleep is good. Slept oddly deeply this month, which is never good idea in Travance. Thankfully, I didn’t die.

-Sorcery Saturday! Always fun witnessing rituals. No risk of dying (via sorcery mishaps) for me this month, yay!
-Presenting a certain someone with a birthday gift. Seemed to go over well, always good.
-Silence lessons. I thank the Yahtzes for their cooperation, it was absolutely priceless.
-Guild meeting and yummy cupcakes for attendees. Yay!
-New seating arrangements during feast, and singing with Amizar. Very fun!! I haven’t had the opportunity to perform in a while, I was glad to help him. All the performers were wonderful, and it was awesome to have live music at Feast again!!!!
-An embarrassing slip of the tongue on the line for dessert. That won’t leave Mirwen’s head for a while. Interesting conversation that came of it, though.
-Also, being told that ‘oh, you’ve done kitchen cleanup before, here you’re in charge with sean’ and only being capable of thinking ‘whaaaaaaaaaaa??’ But my thanks to all our helpers putting up with washing dishes in ice-cold water and listening to me swear under my breath as I organized the perpetually messy dishes under the counter, all in minimal lighting. You guys are all great!!
-And to conclude the night...grapple kick. Watching Aleister almost flip a table. It was beautiful and hysterical.
-Saturday quote: ‘The moral of tonight is grapple kick. Also, Londwyns are stupid.’
-Sleepy time again. Or rather, late night story-telling at the Mage’s Guild until we all finally went to sleep.

-Sunday: NPC shift. I was doing a lot of makeup and some cleaning. I AM DAMN PROUD OF THAT OGRE’S THIRD EYE THERE BETTER BE PICTURES.
-Also, fighting Jenna for an npc role was fun. After four tie rounds of rock-paper-scissors we eventually had to flip a coin. Alas, she won. Maybe next time.

Great event, a lot of fun despite the cold. Definitely glad I came out, and thanks to everyone else who came!! It's definitely the awesome people that makes Kr the great thing it is. Can’t wait to see people at the ball and the December event!

Glad I decided to go to this event. I was very pleased that many also decided to make the trip. Ok, I needed a little guilt trip to make the decision to attend.

Highlights:

Friday:
Helping to teach Lore: Mirwen Eloras to a new Quinarian scholar. Hope she took it as her self-teach.
Snake Mod-bodies dropping everywhere; can I get a healer?
Breaking into the Mage's Guild. At least I didn't have to do the dirty work. If that Nyad was only a light sleeper...
Late Night visit from a fellow Quinarian with a grim look on his face.
Blood and gore galore at Ostcliff.
Kind words shared with sis.

Saturday:
Birthday present for me?
What's with all this "Psychoanalyze, Ardin" nonsense.
Maybe Ardin should be a Gaian...yuck.
How should I teach this Silence lesson? <enter loud gypsies> Thanks guys!
Mission at the Fields of Fallow-started out nice and organized and ended in total chaos.
Guild meeting with happy Guildies. Should have known that food is the way to a person's heart in Travance. I can think of some good possible uses of cupcakes in Ardin's past...
Impress the Girlfriend at Feast-CHECK
Interesting conversation with a certain Lord
Impress the Boyfriend at Dessert-DOUBLE CHECK
Indigestion afterwards.
Really fun main mod. Always nice when they come to us for a change.
Back to the Mage's Guild hoping for some sleep. Fun with Wormwood. What kind of operation am I running at the waterfront anyway??
Late night undead screams at the Guild. Maybe if we all keep snoring they will go away.

Sunday:
Free breakfast FTW! Hail Lord Na!
Nice Sunday main mod outside of the Inn. Enjoyed the combat RP. Kudos to the NPCS!
Put on white headband for some fun with Tobar.
Realizing that there was no place I would rather have been last weekend!
Allowing photos. Let's see if there are any to see.

Friday:
-NPC shift. First I played decayed corpses of fallen warriors reanimated by necromantic powers mixed with red magic. While I was waiting for reanimation, I enjoyed watching the more seasoned players rp through the tombs.
-I have so many welts from the weird cow mod…so much hatred for the lizardkin…so many welts : [
-Lost my phone during that last mod. I was too beat up to do 10 million checks around Ostcliff for it
-Sleeping after shift. YAY!
-The Mages’ Guild was QUITE chilly. I wish I had a willing snuggle buddy for warmth.

Saturday Day:
-Damn the High Elves for delaying the Halfling’s breakfast!!!!
-BREAKFAST!!!! Rowan hadn’t seen many friends and family for a few moons, so that was a great reunion!
-Yay, warm fire at the Inn!
-MORE BREAKFAST!!!
-KLIEDEN’S LENTIL SOUP!!! (I was getting quite tired of eating at this time. Nobody said RPing as a Halfling was easy!)
-I FOUND MY PHONE!!! Thank you whoever found it!
-So, Magnus catches a few of us less seasoned heroes and says that he wants to see the new wave of adventurers in action. I enjoyed that mod a lot. Rowan was kept busy buffing, healing and fighting alongside her friends. However, falling over/on/across multiple rocks and bashing the bard’s fingers-she could barely play her flute after that-sucked.
-Rowan had a good time just chilling at the Inn with friends and family.
-Lessons with Croinamara assisted by Giddeon. Btw, Jen, you did a great job!
-Rowan observed sorceries and attended a guild meeting for the first time!
-THE GUILDMASTER’S CUPCAKES!!! But ooops!! The littlest dragoon (who was guarding the door) didn’t get a chance to have one…Rowan saves a cake for her—THIS WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID ALL WEEKEND—I can’t explain why, but it lead to interesting conversations about pateries.
-Lessons with Tobar before the feast.
-FEAST!!!! Great job to all of the performers and I thank the cooks and those who prepared it! I was really nervous about singing, thank you for being a great audience, everybody!
-Cleaning up the kitchen in the dark wasn’t bad. I found someone else from Brooklyn!

Saturday Night:
-No main mod for me. Rowan was conversing with friends and witnessing Arza’s impromptu baptism to Brazen.
-I wish I filmed Saturday night. I can’t go into detail what happened because what had been the best hours Rowan (and myself) ever spent in Travance can’t be described in words.
-FOOD!!!!
-The shenanigans with Arden, ale, the cupcake, the bread, feeding the hydra, and waking Wyrmwood at the Mages’ Guild was the most fun I ever had RPing at KR.
-I was so glad to see that Rowan contributed to helping the people of Travance during the battle after main mod. Halflings are awesome people in my opinion.
-SMORES BY THE FIRE AT THE INN!!! Thank you for the company
-Mirwen, Arden, and Rowan needed beddy-bye-time. The Silverbows escorted the ladies back to The Guild, ran into a couple of trolls, had Quinarian wine!!!
-Sleep, and apparently we all slept through a mass of undead knocking at the door. All except for the Guildmaster.

Sunday:
-FREE BREAKFAST!!! Thanks, Dan!
-Rowan ran into elementals. Rowan ran. Smart Rowan for hiding in Alisandria!
-FREE WINE!!!! This is normally good, but Rowan walked out in the middle of a huge fight with (greater?) elementals in her inebriated state and got the crap kicked out of her. Then, a dwarvin healer (I’m sorry, I forgot your name) casts Neutralize Poison.
Giddeon: Are you okay??
Rowan: I lost my morning buzz! *pout*
-Self-teaching for the first time! I also ran into Quan Liu and was lucky to have another lesson just in time before I packed up my stuff.

So that was my weekend! This was the best event so far! Thank you all for making my return to Travance such a great one!

I knew this event was going to be interesting, even before the power went out.

Friday:
-LM shift with Matt D., wearing his cloak the whole time and not wanting to return it.
- Chaos Elementals. Keavy's own inner turmoil was more realized through this battle after dropping and dropping and watching others fall as well as becoming altered twice. Protecting Mother Marika near the end of the battle when she had just about spent all she had.
-Late in the Inn, travelers who seemed suspicious but were just followers of chronicler came inside to have a chat. Keavy stood her ground and double checked to make sure they weren't secretly chaotic.
-A full night's non-sleep! The elf on fire tended to the fireplace with good company. However, I am never OOG not sleeping ever again x_x
-...because in the morning Wormwood decided to appear and try to shake us up with some intense conversations.... to which Keavy eventually passed out, had a nightmare, and woke to some of the others mocking her (Though, screaming awake was hilarious. I don't think I've ever heard Ferris shriek that high before haha!)...Pissed, she stormed back to the Kaladonia statehouse.

Saturday:
-After getting some sleep, lentil soup!
-Going for a walk with Caelvan, Typhon, Tris, and Na'ar to a secluded spot in the woods. So-called "Druid Party" turned out to be Caelvan's moment to propose to Keavy! Jen fangirled and it made me happy haha!
-Volcano Mod. Somehow I survived this? What?
-Midday chat with Lady Elawyn about important issues. Eventually becoming interrupted by a disturbance in the Grove.
-Firin in human form! Mother Rosa-Dawn...Dawn-Rosa, Drosa? Whatever, show your respect and bow, Keavy!
-Feast!
-Getting some advice about florentine fighting from Lady Elawyn, and also getting my first Master Warrior lesson out of nowhere! Sorry I was so brain dead, Kristen. Not sleeping really screwed up my thought process, otherwise I probably would have gotten the question right the first time haha.

Main Mod....Mods.
-Wait, what, already? It's so early!
-Somehow being the voice of Travance to lead everyone against the cultists. Form up! Form up! Keep pushing forward! Lets go!! Surprised that people actually listened to Keavy!
-Its over! Yay! Oh wait, there's more.
-After fighting a few remaining enemies, Keavy sat like a loyal puppy at the barrier where the scholars were, waiting for Caelvan.
-Late night hilarity at the Kaladonia statehouse. Oh. My. God. Convincing a new player to want to vassal just because we could keep him laughing is priceless. Also, Sindarion and his 'Wild Mage'. And a visit from Dr. Maxwell aka Mr. Fancypants of all the fanciest pants. I don't think I've laughed so hard.
-Elementals and Natures heralds wanted in on our good times, but we said NO.
-More hilarity and sleep.

Sunday:
-More elementals to wake us up! And then more with the ogre thing.
-Picking up a trade as my self teach!

Overall great event, and now I can't wait for the ball!

You're supposed to let Tanis and Syl know when this happens, so they'll never do it again

In that case I'll let you know at the ball if they're there.
