Event Highlights for the March 2013 Event

Well I thought I would kick off the highlights this month.

First I would like to say thank you to everyone for their very warm welcome back. February was a long and difficult month for me and being back among such wonderful persons as I have come to know and respect at KR has done well for my continued recovery.

My stay at game this month albeit a short one was full of activity as extraordinary RP. My time with the future of the Paladin order was one of great philosophical debate, I so look forward to sitting with you all each and every month and speaking and teaching you all. I find in kind I learn more about the nature of being a Paladin and the Nature of my own characters development.

The most excellent Ceremony of the Light conducted by Brother Cooper. A sheer delight, truly one of the best I have ever attended in my time at KR, keep up the good works and let Saturday be just the start keep doing what you are doing. In this as well, my subsequent talk with the Clergy afterwards, very productive and rewarding, and if I dare say a strong wake up call. Quinn, you truly shined and your words are an inspiration to us all.

Finally, to all the new players that I have seen at KR in so many months. Though my own attendance has not been as regular as I would have liked in the past few months, I can honestly say that you all are among the finest that I have seen. Your level of RP, costuming and desire to be part of the community is second to none. My only regret is that I did not have enough time or steam to get to meet more of you. In the coming months I look forward to making more and more of your acquaintances.

I'm going to write this all now, while it is still fresh in my mind. This was my second event and it was spectacular!!!

It started off with the gypsy women taking over the porch. That was a wonderful beginning, full of laughter, jingling coin belts, and Romanian accents. God help you if your name was mentioned, because we did not have filters.

Wow do gypsies gossip quickly!

"Finding" gems and shiny things with Ya-ya.

My next favorite part was the two NPC players I did. The weeping, emotionally unstable, quite volatile phantasm was so. much. fun. Sweet Mary is one of my new favorites ever. Thank you setting that up for me, Zach! Then there were the wolf pack. We made friends, guys! It was kinda cool that they howled back!

Next, Duck Duck Waylay is my new favorite game.
The Syrio Forel-esque one-handed lesson with Tobar was also quite entertaining.

On another note, going on a main mod with healing salves to planning to help the healers back up be they felled was not as necessary as I expected. But as I keep working on her, she'll be able to hold her own in a fight a bit better. Sooooooooon

Zellara is just so much fun to play. Thank you all so much for making KR what it is!

Talk about an event. I'd like to thank the creativity of the storytellers for that ending, way to go!

Friday night, being underfoot was fun and some of the conversing was interesting.

Hearing rumors in game that there were people who were looking for "silver bows" as an archery group(knowing full well who they were) and laughing and joking in Game about the absurdity.

Sending out 2 mods Friday night that included playing a necromancer and eventually attacking the Mage's guild as backlash to my mod and blinking greater undead through the windows at 4am, yes that's where i sleep, yes i got a few evil looks, yes i LOVED IT ALL, my only regret is not landing a Necromantic terror.

Waking up and having Niel tell me i have siblings, awesome RP WTF moment, thanks to my buds Jeff and Matt coming in as my family and expanding the Silverbows, awesome RP.

Also Duck Duck Waylay.

Tomb mod and ALL of the TRAPS!!! so glad i had trap kits and true sights, being the ONLY one to see them made me feel so useful

Also tomb mod, oh wait, hoard of imps/ fire elementals? hello Tsunami ring

NPCing crazy mage for New player mod was so crazy fun oh my god. All of the non-lethal spells you can think of and much writing on people.

Also Macaroni

Also Also Frying Fish

Feast was delicious but wow was i wiped out from the night passed out very early.

Sunday main mod was awesome, was useful in combat and protecting others minds. T'soli has come into his own for actually being in a fight with the town and i look forward to doing it more frequently.

Thanks all and see you soon!!!

Where to begin...

• Proposing to Kleidin, IG. The look on her face was priceless. Watching the realization dawn on various people watching us what was going on (as I knelt next to her as she picked the lock on the box) was even better.
• Knighted! I wasn't expecting this in the least... It's truly an honor, and a high point of my 13 year KR career.
• The next morning, hearing sounds of combat, and about to brush them off and go get coffee... until the realization hits me that I am now a Knight, and can't do that any more.
• Chaos Warrior: "Hey, pointy ears! Overcompensating?" Gideon: *WHAM* "It matches my ego."
• Rudolph: "What kind of Alchemy do you need me to make?" Gideon & Aleister: "An Alchemical Adhesive, with a Refreshment potion mixed in?" Rudolph: "I call this, my EXAULTED Adhesive!"
• Rudolph: "The adhesive is done." (Passes item card to Steve.) (Steve shuffles his hands, passes me a tube of Crazy Glue.) (We use said glue to glue the Seal physrep back together.)
• Seeing the Wok and Knife Sharpener I bought for the kitchen being put to good use.
• Joe / Valentine's Card Wallets - an absolute hit!
• The beginning of Scholar Lessons with Ms. Silverbow.
• The littlest Blacksmith & Assistant.
• Hearing stories about Guildmaster Silverbow from his sister. Seeing them play out subtly during the Guild Meeting. Well played, Norm - I'd never picked up on them before.

About the only regrets I had were not enough time to do Smithing, and not enough energy to play Carlos. April, I will hopefully be able to do both.

This event was quite amazing and left Ardin many things to think about.

Friday Night:
Birthday party in Kaledonia. Had Billiam's delicious creation.
Hearing the finer points of civil service. Amazing stuff.
Getting some interesting news from Gideon.
Early wedding present of some produce, which I shared with others.
Mirwen/Aquene vs Ardin. He didn't stand a chance.
Lack of window coverings almost got the Guild wiped out.

Saturday:
Kenneth was out and about visiting with many friends, but missed others he wants to speak with.
Mage's Guild meeting. New members but still others who have yet to show.
Sorcery experiment has serious implications for the future. Bards for the win! It's great to make a good decision once in a while.
Fighting on a ship. Better watch your step. Alisandria was excited to participate, but one reason was a bit concerning.
Meeting yet more Silverbows! We are the Quinarian version of the Tellinghasts.
Tari is related to Ardin on a "supernatural" level.
Sibling meeting >Baroness request for audience.
Pepper steak dinner was awesome. Kudos to Damian.
Much fun cleaning up with Christine, Sean, Nicolas, Bill, Dan and Harlee.
Tommy losing a tooth=gold
New Knights!
Scrying success leads to unexpected mission Ardin helps to organize.
Ardin.
Getting to try on a pirate hat and have some fun with players I don't know as well as I would like.
Quiet slumber. Hey, I didn't hear anything.

Sunday:
Main mod Sunday. I could get used to this.
Learning advanced techniques from Billiam. I think he actually referred to Ardin as his "friend."
More bard singing at Mirwen's expense as we waited for the portal to open.
Expert handling of NPCs by the marshals.
The NPCs performed at a high level. Lots of falling in the mud. The energy exhibited shown was very impressive.
So many new players! Welcome!
Congrats to Mike Smith and his weekenders for an action packed weekend.

Best Compliment: "I really love hating you."
I smell another Guildie!!

Highlights include:
Helping Augustus teach Waylay with our newest training game "Duck, Duck, Waylay!"

Going on Inverted Tower Mod, getting frustrated at having my quill stolen, being waylay-ed, encased in ice, and subsequently looted of everything I own including Orion's pants, and then getting it all back from Kevin Downing's (Orion) NPC.

"Congratulations, Guildmaster! Your hands are now moist." -Augustus
Going out for Main Mod 1 as a Chaos Warrior and screaming my heart out with Despairs, Fears, and Cleaves.
Going out after that as a phantasmal wolf, trapping Rowan in the Mages' Guild, and making friends with the local coyote pack.

Apprenticing myself to Kamei to learn more physician things.

Good times were had.
