Week in the Life 2013 Highlights

Wednesday- Getting our cards and getting into the woods, apparently I'm a good luck charm but only found butterflies myself, steak and ogre abuse(that's what happens when you look at me threateningly), then s'mores. SO STICKY THIS IS A BAD DECISION
Thursday- Snowflake song and time by the lake round 1 of sunburn. So glad I was in logistics to see the witch hunter mod go out, I don't think I would have seen it in game and laughed so hard at it being set up/described. Legitimately being handed a fistful of logistics gold and being told to go out and gamble, I got to run the roulette table and didn't even have to beg anyone
Friday- Finally getting some lessons in as gregory also round 2 of sunburn and carding myself to the tune of no effect...
Saturday- Tried to bait lizardkin into a fight I could handle ended up baiting them to a sleeping Zathir OOPS guess it's time for round 3 of sunburn also psipoint gem overall great day. ohh and the smugglers that lie about everything was hilarious

It truly was a pleasure. My PC has heard so many stories about this Bear of the North that it's nice to be reminded that he still is a mortal man and can ponder without scorn. Hearing about past adventures of Travance and its heroes is always my favorite thing.

HOW DID I FORGET TO INCLUDE CROI'S WALK WITH FORGRAM. WE FOUND A DRAINED POND AND SAT IN IT. IT WAS GORGEOUS. also, all of the talk about responsibility, and of course nicknames.

I'm finding my brain to be like a sieve as I try to remember everything that happened over five seriously epic days. I'll just hit a few good ones.

- NPCing a commoner selling a couple of bottles of drink turned out to be one of my favorite roles ever. I just had so much fun with it. Big thanks to everyone for getting involved, especially Aermornial.

-Literally falling asleep as Croi was finishing a sentence to me during research. I guess it's time for bed. No wait. It's time for a mod. Yes, of course it is...

-Getting to know some younger characters a little bit better.

-And of course anyone who taught me anything about magic was freaking amazing as usual. The mage life is a good life.

1. Disappointment/betrayal so great after a snap decision that I had to walk away in the middle of feast. Soooooo good RP that led up to that. Soo good subtle rp thereafter. Oh jen and alice, you just wait!
2. Having time to set up the manor properly before I had to be somewhere. Apparently 2 days is nearly sufficient. I need to work on that.
3. Having a good friend I can really count on to make sure things get shut down properly when I have to leave early.
4. Leaning acrobat Oog. Thanks to the patient NPCs who waited not just patiently but concerned as I assessed the damage (which was nothing more than a slightly pulled muscle in my neck) after tripping in front of Pendarvin and my body somehow managing to remember how to do a backward roll and land with my feet in proper relation to my backside. Let's not try that again shall we? At least not on the rock pile there.
5. The massage the day before that probably was responsible for me being loose enough not to have snapped my neck doing that.
6. All the heart to hearts. I can't tell you how much it means that people will look past the title and really TALK to me.
6. Impossible smores mod. Mission accomplished after using every evade, dodge, deep pockets, and fire magic I had at my disposal. And I never even had to touch my card.
7. Goggs. You managed to get me to be harsh and ALMOST rude without you being a dark elf or doing anything that posed imminent danger to anyone at that moment. I expect we will be having quite a bit more interaction on the subject of Sylvans and their primitive ways.
8. Moiyra's urgent matter which really could not wait. Could not have been better timed. Nothing else could have made me smile at that moment let alone laugh. Well played all of you who spent god knows how long, risked god knows how much to retrieve my $2 bobber from a tree because I said it was my favorite. Which by the way it is and will be even more so now.
9. A boat and 2 of my favorite people to just spend time with IG or out. Doing both.
10. Jumping in the lake for the first time ever. Having to receive a seriously important dignitary in my sopping wet gown after having jumped in the lake. . .thank you kristen for not making me walk around like that.
11. The food at Kaladonias contest being worth being woken up to act as judge no more than 2 hours after I went to bed.
12. Starting a shield wall of 3 during main mod, but getting a feel for how to make them work. Bat look out. You're becoming indispensable. Being a lefty on top of all the rest. . .
13. Conversations I didn't have with people who if they're smart will NOT remember having them. also entirely NOT drinking satyrs wine with some new faces.
14. The sincere care I got in Alisandria from everyone from Kirsten who ran to dig out her tweezers and gave up her special soap to Jeff who expertly and painlessly removed the damn deer tick that managed to evade several tick checks. Thank you all for just seeing I was beyond a mess after too much no sleep and that nasty surprise, and handling me so well.
too many more to add. . . But I probably will as they occur to me.

In no particular order:

• Halfling Eating Contest!
• Trying to plead for mercy on behalf of the Lizardkin
• All 3 new player mods I went on as Augustus to be a guard "just in case"
• Teaching Guildmaster Silverbow Blackjack
• getting to play more than 3 hands of poker.
• Learning Dissipate Undead from Misaki

• fighting PHANTASM wolves, and making a snap decision to save a newer player rather than Dame Dar'hanna (sp?)
• Fighting alongside the Baroness and Moirya during Main Mod
• Hearing a Grumblegut talking about keeping score after Main Mod, mistaking it for someone else, and yelling at them.
• The following conversation with the Baroness. Seriously, I got so worked up IG, that I couldn't stop crying OOG. I blame the stress of 5 days of LARP and the heat.
• Talking with Marika afterwards. Repaying a past kindness.
• Getting to swim in the lake for the first time.
• A USEFUL LORE: SEA CALL!

• The Goblin Vassals to Drega'Mire. "LORD AL MEAN! LET GO CHIEF RUNS TOO FAST!"
