April Event

Another highlight:

The PC who was captured by the torturers. I felt so bad because it was his first event, but he was such a good sport about it. Seriously, I did not get your name, but you were awesome!

So much awesome that I am still processing it all. But I think I can nail down some high points.

Friday

-Really good role playing on Friday night. You know who you are.
-Late in the night I make my way down to the Baroness' manor, open the door to the common room and am nearly killed by THE STARE OF THE BARONESS. Ok, I'd interrupted a meeting between the Baroness and the fake elven delegation... so bad on me. I quietly slipped back outside and watched to make sure nobody else suffered the same fate.
-"Poison Bomb: Withering Death Poison" times a LOT.
-I got to assist in the interrogation, sort of. I mean as much as one can when the interrogation is done by a Healer who doesn't want to hurt anyone.
-I actually stayed up past 3 am!

Saturday

-up early, setup for market faire. I had a LOT of people come by and get gems appraised. This makes me very happy. Also I didn't have to resort to my cheat sheet once.
-then ... NPC time.

---- I got to play the High Priest of Selandrius. My first time as an elf. Major props to Ben for this NPC duty and to the other players who helped out. It was super fun seeing everyone react to us walking around. We got mixtures of stares, questioning looks and hands on weapons. The few times that we had to call HOLD you could feel everyone tense up and as we walked around camp it seemed like we acquired EVERYONE in our entourage. Crazy!
---- Quildar "I would like to offer you the chance to say the blessing before the feast" me: "Certainly" (Oh crap... what am I going to say?)
---- HOLD "POP" 3.2.1... lay on during feast. I was trying to figure out how to tell everyone that the box had just appeared and it seemed like the simplest method!

-- Going on Main Mod for the first time.
-- Wormwood: (referring to me) "He's not much of a fighter" <Someone else came to my defense> "Sure he is, look at his armor" Me: "Actually I'm with Orias on this one... Despite this hard exterior I'm not much of a fighter"

Sunday

- Breakfast --- yes, that was me that bought you breakfast Caldor, you are most welcome and I'm glad I made an impression
- "Excuse me Augustus ... you're a charming man... can you teach me how to be like that?" Great lesson!

Out of game his name is Antone, IG he's Eric Duplin. It was his absolute favourite part of the event and my PC was severely pissed of and went on a hunt when he turned up again haha

Shannon's Dryad turned out MUCH better than I hoped. For once, Travance tried to talk their way out of a problem. Then, to the PC that kept ranting about wanting to kill wolves... Perfect Cast Maul! The reactions of everyone ranged from "Thank you" to "Oh crap!"

Keavy's promise and another PC's plan involving the wolves and Dryad.

Fending off four Devils int eh monastery, only to realize theres a mythal up against them...

Deciding against picking up Smith to start shooting for Divine Ceremonies.

Becoing a New Player Marshal and then being tossed in the mix to escort New Players on Intro mod. Had an amazing time, and I'm looking forward to doing it again.

Learning more and more that the new players are the people that are most crucial to this game. And one in particular proving that it's not about what skills you have, but how you role play. So for the player that was part of "Operation: The Mod", I thank you.

Edit:
Steve: "How do you Drood?" and Cappy's face in reaction.

Blockus: "It's St. Astrid's Day, A******"

OH I FORGOT!

Kid dying of withering and mother crying and i TOTALLY GOT TO USE REQUIEM FOR THE DEAD and for a good long while too. SO lucky that Frank walked by, as he was probably the only person, in game, who knew my song and knew I wasn't healing, i was stalling.

Awesome to that kid and mom npc duo or trio. You guys were excellent.
Like, honest panic. Gorgeous rp. I hope to see you guys around more often!

-"Ilana? Why did you just come through a portal with a group of demons!?" "Because I was killing them of course!" Ilana returns to Travance after crazy adventures.

-Ilana teaming up with unexpected allies for awesome magic times? Possibly.

-Two Assassins trying to gank Ilana in the woods: priceless.

-Wytchwood Grapevines can go to hell. Seriously.

-Pendarvin party went great!

-Hill Giants in the proper? That's clearly not right. The reason the Hill Giant appeared was concerning to say the least. Especially considering the guests who were in the feast hall at the time.

-Completely in awe over the Selendrian ambassadors. The High Priest willing to help Ilana out! I have to admit, a little excited over that.

-Scholar/Assassin mod- Thank goodness my paranoia levels are healthy. So glad Danny decided to stay. Also going through most of my higher list defenses in two minutes was kind of fun and terrifying. I spent the rest of the morning wanting a guard because I was more than sure I was going to die horribly. Afterwards someone goes "Whoa, James can fight!?" It was pretty amusing.

-Adopted a wildmage Had so much fun RP and teaching him how to control magic a bit better and stuff.

-At least five burials this event. Ilana wasn't very good with words, but she can only hope her sincerity made up for that.

-Watching a halfling jump into a portal for funsies. *facepalm*

-Ilana shouldn't listen to dragoons. It's going to get her in trouble (But, she'll probably enjoy it at least)

-Trying to reanimate a golem. Didn't know it was a golem to be fair. But it's okay, I got a book on those /research!

-Sorel DeVirr (and how he is *never* allowed to wear that combination of outfit again )

-All the new players I interacted with were pretty neat.

-"Why am I a better ____ than you?" "Because you're not a wildmage" "That makes sense... I'm sorry" That sentence applied to several conversations.

-Alicia's poor friend Eric. He needed all the hugs.

-Angelica totally assisting with curing Aleister.

-I haven't seen Aiden in a loooong time *Later on, Aiden appears!*

-I enjoy the fact that every time over the past years Ilana sees Aahz she instantly skips over to give him a great big hug. I wish there were other people she could express her happiness to see every time (there's a few, but not ones she dare hug or ones she's sure aren't as happy to see her)

-Xanifer (sp?) Poor guy.

-'Elawyn's song' sung by Croi and the others.

-Got caught singing. Damn it.

-The 'ambassador' and his daughter Sunday morning.

NPC Highlight:

Misaki/Devil battle. Happy Birthday Cy lol

That weird dream everyone in the monastery had where they were attacked by Devils. But it totally didn't happen (>__>)
--

-Birthday/dragoon birthday party next month? I can get behind that. Need to start finding out what kind of cake(s?) to make (Dragoons, pay attention!)
