Dec 2012 Highlights

Valentine had a lot of very interesting and deep conversations about ... Religion? Huh?

Do you know that I can make any story into a nautically themed allegory even while sleep deprived?

"Every gold coin in your pocket while in Coast Haven takes one year off your life expectancy"

"I figured out how to make the upstairs of Winterdark warm using convection currents. Do I get to learn Quadrivium for free now?"

"I came to town hoping to keep a low profile... you know, hiding in plain sight. Too bad I traveled with the niece of the Seneschal and the cousin of the new Baroness. So much for that plan."

and a really memorable quote from Jonas "It looks like some Gypsies vomited on your quills. I'd return those if I were you"

Marriage counseling, Quan Liu style "First you get a length of rope. When she's sleeping tie her to the bed, then go make breakfast.".... PRICELESS

Thanks for a great event

Got to do my first KR game, full time NPC! And it was full time because I was excited and didn't sleep but maybe five hours the whole weekend (Four at the very end just before getting up to head home!). I'll be better about sleep next time, promise

I loved being the annoying late-night roving monsters. The wide varieties of reactions from "OH NO RUN" to "Sod it, I'm asleep, I'll respawn in the morning" amused me. (Seriousy, as the poison bugs: "One poison body...... One poison body...... One poison body?...... Did we kill them or are they just really sleepy? There is a person in this sleeping bag, right?...") Also, hitting the Inn and going upstairs x3 we were REALLY annoying x3

Committing vile, evil, unpleasantly well-descrbe dread surgery on the poor Wild Mage and being the ONLY NPC to actually escape with my life (Because I kinda pushed one of my fellows at the archer as a meat shield and RAN). Favorite line of that scene: "Y'know, you'll get tired eventually-you might as well give up. ...... I'm getting bored waiting for you. There are, of course, worse things than being bored, and I can do all of them." *Wild Mage just whimpers*

Being the last Kobold outside Winterdark during the Wake Up Travance Mod, and looking up just as Cinder walks around the corner. We stare at each other for a moment, and I do the only reasonable thing: I scream and run. And then Cinder killed me. A lot.

The poor healers we ran up on just a few hundred feet from the Yurt. Oh, the looks on their faces. Ran into Cinder there, too. I snarl, strike for 4 Decay, he swings back for ten body and strides right past me xD

I got to do LOTS of makeup for people!

Got to take a swing at the "White Haired Healer with the Lantern." Because she was bright and shiny, and the formation broke down x3

Early Goblin New New New New Annoyance mod. "Competent people only!" Door slams in the face of all the other goblins and one PC. xD

Group of six barbarians: "We're gonna own these little elves and the, like, two, maybe four people they bring. Oh... they brought... the whole town. Huh."

And seeing my first KR game. Seriously awesome. Less awesome: taking an arrow to a piercing. Wasn't BAD, but stung a bit x3 Think I'll pad that, nest time!

The whole town descending on us was something to remeber at my first event... fun as hell though

There are not enough words to describe this event!! James, Steve, everyone, fantastic job! This is definitely my favorite event thus far.

Friday:
New cloak! Thanks Matt! I was super warm all weekend.
Joining Tanis and Almat at the Baronial Library.
Psionic things, corrupted things.. don't remember much. Mind is blanking.
Missing werewolf mod because of LM shift...
LM shift afterward was fun with Gus and Chris Z.
Two and a half hours sleep, yay!

Saturday:
Sylvan/Drau Mod. Interesting, though easier than I expected.
Teaching Anhil how to use forceful gust.
Wytchwood Forest mod. Intense!! Dark whispers made Keavy think everyone was going to leave her behind. Jade never gave up trying to save her making for some great RP between us.
Some ghouls(I think?) came outside the inn, with Keavy almost alone. Fear'd at all three, the last one getting his leg broken was still crawling away from me as I growled at him. Nice job, dude!
Don't remember everything..
Feast was deliciousssss
Getting a dream catcher from Angelica as I was alseep. No more nightmares for Keavy!
Finally seeing Caelvan. Learning about his new role for the night's battle.
Trying hookah for the first time. Pretty cool!
Learning Body Block with Billiam. I enjoyed your enthusiasm Gene

MAIN MOD. OMG.
Confused at first with the jumbled mass of everyone not moving anywhere, getting leech life'd and losing my swords thanks to Oros. Though I did get to borrow Raven's +2 Divine sword and Marika's +1 fire dagger to florentine with!
Had to help Caelvan when he was dazed, keeping enemies away from him as he leaned on me.
Helping those who needed light that had been leech life'd. Even Wormwood, haha!

Once we got moving, oh my god.

The fire was breathtaking (and the natural fog fit perfectly too), James was terrifying, I couldn't believe what I saw! Keavy was turned invisible, thrown, and just in overall shock from it. When we were told to retreat, Keavy was upset because she hadn't seen Caelvan. Turned out he was invisible but safe.

So after somehow managing to survive main mod, I got my silver sword reforged by Orion, having a good conversation with him. (Foreshadowing, sort-of!?)Then, we had a bit of shenanigans at the inn having some of Trisana's Satyr's Wine making Keavy extra flirty with Caelvan and having him end up in a tug-o-war that ended with me gaining strength +8! :lol:

After cured of her drunkenness,hostage mod.
Going back to the inn...Greater revenants and Mortal hunter swarm!! Keavy, trying to protect the white haired healer Alicia had her reforged sword shattered and dropped under a table....Taking my first death 10 minutes later. (Thanks to Chris Zipeto!)

The RP that ensued. Oh goodness.
Being found from under the table. "First Aid assess?"
"Dead."
"what?!"
Caelvan comes over. "No. NO. By natures will I cast cure minor wounds!"
"No effect."
He proceedes to cry "No.." over and over...then furiously punch his MYTHRIL shield.
As more enemies began to attack the inn, Jade carried her outside. I decided that it's my first death ever so why not blue headband?

Keavy wandered as a spirit for quite some time, being found by Na'ar and eventually taken to the monastery to be brought through the focus. Orion was dead as well. Caelvan (alive, that is) joined later, sleeping on Keavy's shoulder.

The RP between Nate and I for the focus walk was great, and although Keavy doesn't remember it, what took place is now a thing.
Three hours of sleep, yay!

Hanging around the inn having some food. Chaos Warriors attacked, shenanigans ensued. Many Shenanigans ensued, all in good fun.
Sparring with Caelvan, using our cards haha. Somewhat even battle. Lots of fun.

This was a fantastic event, and I couldn't be happier that I went. All of you are amazing people and make me feel invincible. Thanks, guys.

Long time since I stayed for a full event. I still left early on Sunday morning, & didn't get to say my goodbyes.

For this event, so many things... in no particular order. Traffic on 280 was WTF?, fighting swarms is broken, cheese + apples + mini sandwiches oh my! Grimtooth kobolds vs Winterdark & the Rage of Cinder. Post battle expression on Myxolidia's face. Sausage gravy & biscuits. Cheese puffs in sausage gravy... holy crap! Fighting... so much fighting. James as the demon & the evil choir music in the background. Sleep... oh sleep.

Highlights from December event:

Good, evil, right, wrong, and the laws of Travance. Thanks to everyone who indulged my curiosity and endured these endless conversations. Also - having to put that law & morality to use in wolf mod. I can see this will be an ongoing theme.

Helping Anhill learn a new skill and getting custom, hoof-sized boots as thanks.

Befriending a hobgoblin and debating child-size hobgoblin ears.

Cool bard plot I only knew about at the very last minute and almost missed due to harpooning spiders. And then having said bards use their wiles/magic to peer-pressure me into performing during feast.

Honey butter over brownies. Yummmm!!

Getting pummeled time and time again during NPC shift and dropping to the snow/mud every time.

Finding out that my hiding spot in the inn put me right next to a heating vent, and dozing between each adrenaline-inducing wave of mortal hunters.

Late night spelling mistakes.

There was much more - I had a great time and many many wonderful one-on-one interactions. Thanks to everyone who ran or planned this weekend, and those who took up the challenge of feeding it.
