April Event

An interesting event for me this month! Definitely set up for some things which may or may not end up good or bad in the future.

FRIDAY:

Spent most of my time in the Library with Cypher and other scholars. Always makes her consider becoming one
After months of heated hostility and insults Ava's friendship with Cypher is starting to blossom again... in a weird threatening to gut each other way.
Finally having a conversation with Wormwood after many dismissive stares over the last few months. Nothing bad happened there but mostly watched new and want to be chaos warriors harass him to teach him. Certainly triggered memories of harassing him to teach her. Also reminding her that she would soon need to harass him again to teach her..
Also, apparently Ava is not at all amused by assassins.

SATURDAY:

I played Circenniel for a very short period of time that morning, but got to meet Keavy and Anhil and some others. When being asked if she was sylvan responding "Mostly" and asking Keavy if there has been any drow in town only to get an explanation of understanding why she would be cautious. Took a lot of self restraint to not blow her secret to a potential new friend!

Back as Ava it was a lot like the early days for her, which meant following Jack Cypher around.
Lots of walks in the woods.
Being asked her opinion on Ostcliff political matters, being blatantly honest.
Assassins attacking me and the few scholars I was with, only secured for Ava how much she hates them. Also was slightly annoyed with herself that she didn't figure it out sooner, normally her paranoia would lead her to be extremely distrusting.

Ava getting a little less crazy...for now.... but still thanks to Dr. Maxwell for repeatedly scolding her for trying to have mental combat with Demons even though Ava is still convinced that she can beat them.

Being continuously praised for behaving herself.

Helping in a courage lesson and licking faces.

Jack and Ava's "Do you miss me" converation. Ava becoming confused about the outcome.

Ava being reminded at least twice an event that she likes to paint her face as a demon. Being confused on how the look isn't attractive.

Undead attack at Ostcliff, Ava walks out of the the statehouse and sees the fighting.
"What are we fighting?"
"They appear to be undead"
"Oh, well I'll be inside the statehouse then"
Ava likes to fight, but knows when nothing she can do will work, not to bother wasting her energy on killing them slowly.


Sunday:

NPC shift and taking it easy since I abused my foot/ankle a lot during the weekend, but I did enjoy being a mushroom and a merchant who had all her wares purchased in less than five minutes.

Overall really fun! I hope to make it to next event

My top five highlights, in order of occurrence.

A wild James appears! *uses payday, it was super effective*

The reactions to the pork boats!

Blockus looking like a pretty, pretty princess.

The army of Ben running the show for four hours!

Operation: The mod.

Lets see if I can remember all of what happened haha.

FRIDAY:
LM shift. So. Many. Late. New Players... x_x
Returning to Travance to have to deal with Keavy's nearly adopted daughter Alicia drunk on the couch and finding out Wormwood forced her to drink.
Sharing/coerced into having a drink with Wormwood and Jade. A drunk Wormwood is still just as nerve-racking to deal with as a sober Wormwood.
Having Orion be my buddy throughout the weekend.
Wytchwood infected people mod. Don't eat the giant grapes! The seeds inside them are moving!
Cthulu-esque swarm of bugs that Chuck played infesting inside Keavy. Fun for me, gross for Keavy!
Staying up all night with friends. Maybe I should just be a witch hunter haha!

SATURDAY:
Deciding it was too cold and that a fire had to be made. Jonas Kane should pay Keavy for the amount of times she has tended to the Dragon's Claw Inn Fireplace!
Wolves, wolves, and more wolves. Keavy has 17 wolves in a pack now! Good thing she's found some people to come help her build a bigger den for them
In between the wolf drama, trying to help with something in the barn only to get hit with sleep blade poison. Smiling OOG hearing the debate between Augustus trying to protect Keavy from someone who wanted to kill her to drain the poison and claim Augustus was the one trying to kill her!
Finding the Druid who was angry about the wolves being killed. Handling it with care but also making a foolish promise to be scolded by Lady Elawyn about later. Tears were shed as well though.
Body Block lesson with Orion.
Sylvan delegation/ march through the town. Interesting.
Festivities at Pendarvin and the monastery reminding me of the week in the life.
Teaching Christine's new alt Strength+1. I felt so baaaaad, but she didn't seem to mind!
A strange half-lesson for Verill with Wormwood.
Being told before feast that I would be shadowing Lady Elawyn in the fight that night for my final Master Warrior lesson. Scary!!
Feast!

MAIN MOD:
Welp.
Being super duper battle ready and following Lady Elawyn around only to hear the dreadfully difficult mechanics of the higher level mod which made my(and keavy's) heart drop. Ship mod was scary for a level 22! Keavy tried to help as much as she could but was then told to abandon ship. (Which I thought meant leave the mod entirely, only to my misinterpretation of Kristen's words.)
Finding the mid level mod and nearly get assassinated. Freak out mode: ON!
Fallout waiting for Elawyn to finish the trapped area with Danny and Oren. Happy Foxawyn found much gold.
I'm a master warrior!...?

SUNDAY:
Nice and relaxing time talking about wolves to a new witch hunter Rain (sp?), teaching Orion Cleave, meeting some new druids, having some hookah with Almat, Boryev, and Carlotta, and having fortunes read with Boryev and Carlotta as well. Lots of nice RP by all

Orias Wormwood Fan Club Mod.
That happened.

--

Damned if I can remember his name, but to the young man who basically said "FEAST BARDS ARE SQUARES" at Layon--the friendly "come at me bro" RP that sort of blossomed out of that between our characters and carried through the entire event was awesome. Props. I hope to see more of you.

"Hold. You see a portal open up. three two one layon"
*out falls Tic-Tac-Toe and Dame Yahtzi*

Fogram: "Ok, Croínamara, open the child coffin."
--

Shannon's NPC Dryad. So well done. As much as i'm terrified to see you again, I can't wait to see you again.
--

Scooting away and constantly being brought back by Orion and Lorelai as one of the grapevine npcs
That whole thing was adorable bahhahahah
--

Lord Na: "I want you to write a song. And I want it performed tonight."
RIGHT. OK. GOT IT. JAMES. STALL FOR ME. NEEDZ MOAR PUNZ.
--

Chuck Davies and Matt Magnus, I induct you both into The Order of Right Place, Right Time.

--

A thousand thank yous to Jen W. and everyone at Winterdark.

--

Singing "Home Again" for Elawyn, having my back to her the whole time, hearing everyone sing along, and finally seeing her face and hugging her. My heart was going to jump out of my throat.

OOG, It was really nerve wracking to perform that, as anything that isn't a drinking song is usually a dicy idea, but from what I gathered, it was well received, and the RP that slowly began trickling out of it from SOOO many different PC's was amazing. I really was not expecting that. Thank you, everyone. You are all so lovely

Pissing off Orias. Bonding with Jade.

EVERYONES REACTIONS TO THE FINGER PUPPETS

Friday night: Finally met Alicia whom Val had heard so much about. Taking care of a small group of Chaos Warriors late at night in the Inn by Altering one and using fear on a second while watching the third run as he had no allies left. Val was very proud of himself for that one.

Saturday: Swarm of poisonous bugs and an altered Wormwood? Certainly one way to wake yourself up after staying up all day. Encountering fake Andorins (All Alicia's fault for bringing Val along. Oh well) Enjoying the food and tournament in Pendarvin and helping Reese teach Verrill Courage via very unorthodox means and watching Wormwood whisper into the man's ear. Also achieved the goal of speaking to Wormwood about learning under him. Val was given a new diet to bulk up and was told to see him next moon (Quite excited about that)

Sunday: Saying goodbye to Val's newly acquired friends with promises of seeing each other again

This was an awesome event for many reasons! In no particular order:

-Slogging around in the rain on the new player tour and the horrible noise the necromancer made when I killed it. Getting NPC character cards instead of gold was a little odd, though.

-Standing in the back of the inverted tower cleaning crew with the Aela and destroying NPC's as soon as a fire lane opens. I don't envy getting shot with two boffer arrows/bolts at the same time. Thanks for being good sports about that, NPC's!

-Having words with a "tree hugging smith" for shattering my crossbow because I shot a rat Sunday morning. Benjamin was not happy about that in the slightest!

-Killing goblins with 1 shot on the new player mods. Ogres, however, were slightly tougher to bring down.

-The reaction I kept getting OOG to my crossbow. I got a ton of lucky shots off but couldn't shoot Bat Cooper's hat to save my life!

-NPC shift as bandits. We go to rob Alisandria but somehow get blessed into submission and walk away as our friends get torn to ribbons.

-As skeletons, wandering into the inn to get killed in no time flat. Right before the last of us falls, the captain of the guard comes bounding over tables "MAKE ROOM FOR MAGNUS!" The disappointment in his voice was palpable when the last one skeleton died before he could swing at it.
