Dec 2012 Highlights

Pre-Event:

* Diane pinched a nerve in her leg about a week ago - given she was cooking feast, this made things... interesting going into the event. Karen Yashinsky was a champ for helping us when I did an extra stop to pick Diane up.
* New Embosser for James & KR. SO many compliments on it!
* Just before layon, new photos of Gideon, and the groundwork for a new Avatar!

Game On!
* Wait, there's NINE smiths in town?
* "Can you guys handle these orders? 10 maces, 10 shields, and a whole new set of armor for Wormwood." "Sure, Gideon, we'll coordinate." Two hours later, almost 8 man-hours of work was done. It was impressive to see everyone working as a team, without needing me there.
* 40% of the present Brazenites were green headbanding. :blink:
* Brazenite Mass - "Hey, Punk! Get a Mass ready, we have a congregation this time."
* Gift to the Baroness: "OOG, Geoff, will Diane be jealous if I kiss you?"
* Feast - ALL THE NOMS! Thank you, Diane! And thank you to everyone that helped her put it together!
* My first Ritual, where I am the caster, and not the assistant. Pulled it off with an 01. FLAWLESS VICTORY! (And it was the same one that I botched twice assisting, including the one that killed me...)
* Baronial Council Meeting. Great work, guys. The future for Travance looks bright.

About the only regret I had was I felt a massive headache coming on Sat. night before Main Mod, so I decided to lay low and guard the Inn. As a result, I missed James' mod.

Fantastic weekend, everyone! Looking forward to the January event, but first - Awards Banquet in 5 weeks!

First, I would like to say welcome to all the new players. Hope you had fun. And this was also my first time doing full-time NPC shift, and it was quite fun.
Friday Night
Went out as an Illithid Psion-Rogue combination to look for answers to some questions, but unfortunately for me everyone was in a group and never travelled alone.
I went out as a Spider and was absolutely destroyed, but I wasn't meant to be a tough spider.
I forget what else I did that night, but evectually I went to bed.

Saturday Afternoon
Being a True Warlock and blowing people's defenses away from Dark Whispers. It is such a useful skill to get PCs fighting each other.
Went out as Elementals, got a couple of people at Ostcliff, but then we were outnumbered by at least 2 and so we died.

Feast was excellent considering the fact that the only food I ate that day was a single Poptart and nothing else. had a good amount of pot pie and like 4 brownies.

Main Mod
Sent out as another Illithid to be the Hive-lord. I stayed behind the group of other NPCs until Oros dropped and was killed pretty quickly due to the lack of body I had.
The whole scene at Totem Pole Hill had to have been the greatest end to a Main Mod I have ever seen. The fog came in perfect timing, and everything just worked out perfectly. This is what happens when James runs a mod, it goes way over the top and is just epic.

After Main Mod
I was a Master Rogue sent to the inn to find some prisoners to take to logistics for a follow-up mod. I was close to getting one, but my other rogue friends got 2. We held white-haired girl and guy with pelt cloak (sorry for not knowing your names) for ransom. You guys were really good sports and made the mod really fun. Kudos to you guys, hope you show up to more events.
Then there was the mod that everyone knew happened: the mortal hunter and undead mod throught the camp. We were not expecting that few people at the inn when we attacked. I decided to be crafty and introduce myself to people walking on the road and telling them we need help. I didn't attack them on the spot for the main reason that if I attacked them there, there were no allies nearby except at the inn and I thought that would be unfair. I just attacked them when we were near the inn and ran away to do the same thing.
Not getting to bed until 5:30.

Sunday Afternoon
Woke up around noon.
Didn't do much except eat some stuff and say bye to people. Thanks for the turkey leg, Paul.

Anyway, it was an excellent event overall and hope there will be many more like this.
Lowlights
The temperature at night and the soreness of my feet and legs from running everywhere

Xualla and Grant Death spam.

Summon food lesson = cookies for Kwildar.

Rage Angel.

"Rayven, your sword is a better barbarian than you. Look at how much fur it has on it."

*Thanks Chris G. for my second nickname "Snow" which caught on pretty quickly with a lot of people!

* I loved how nearly everyone told me NOT to go on the main mod because it would be wayyy to dangerous, when in turn i was the safest person of them all! I LOVE MY LANTERN I was very happy to be the start of the light team!!! I never thought that little lantern would save so many lives or become such a big part of my PC!

*I got kidnapped WOOHOO! AND SO MANY PEOPLE CAME TO SAVE ME! I FELT SO LOVED! the NPC's on that Mod were so awesome! Great Job! That was sooo much fun!
"how did you know i was missing?!"..."when you didn't comeback for your lantern!"

And thanks Reese for killing me and eating my flesh! 2 MINS LEFT IN CRITICAL IS TO CLOSE FOR ME! You totally got your revenge!! Happy? I'm so happy someone saved my ass! lol thanks whoever got me up YOU ROCK!

*Really sad and intense RP, Alicia couldn't handle all the deaths...

*HAHAHA SUNDAY NPC SHIFT! The only girl! w00t! haha the morning "Domestic disturbance" Robert & Ingrid LOLOLOL I'm so happy many people enjoyed me and Augustus's performance haha it was so weird acting so mean! "I TOLD YOU I WANTED SUGAR IN MY COFFEE! *slap*" and watching Quan Liu get sucker punched was hysterical! Great RP!

Thanks guys so much, this really was an amazing event and I'm so glad I made so many friends IG and OOG. I really felt totally welcomed! I almost exploded from all the complements on my costume, RP,and face lol I can't wait to go to my next event!
Till next time! ~

Please remember, this is a Family Friendly game - keep the language clean!

-Killing 'Hex'. Corruption seed missing? Let's hunt it down! Syl doesn't let a query go.

-Corpses, Illithids, and a slave.

-Wytchwood. A surprisingly active role in the battle. Tanis did the hunting down part for the Music Box.

-Getting to watch the Bards unlock the song.

I know I'm missing a part of this story somewhere, but lack of sleep has erased it at the moment.
---
-Many people asked Ilana just random questions and advice in the short time she was around. One of my favorite parts of the event

-Ilana got to kill Maligno, which took a three year weight off her shoulders. Then she got to see craziness! (That set up was great. I'm glad it worked out so well James!)

NPC-

-Poison? Me? No no, that girl you clearly have surrounded. I'm just going to walk out this door here...

-When Chris started swinging during the hostage mod, I immediately ran to the inn to get more people knowing we all had made a serious mistake (I like being surprised as an NPC)

-The werewolf mortal hunter and psuedo-hostage mod. Don't worry Dove, I'll come back for you one day


After NPC:
-Reanimating Annora with Carlotta's help. First time she helped with any serious physician work... she said she'd forgive Ilana one day.

-Surprising morning conversations.
