Quick highlights!
Being Keavy again!
Following Firin and digging to find a wytchwood stump.
Catching up with friends.
Caelvan's brother coming to Travance!
LM shift with Gus and Mark!
Getting to RP with a bunch of people I don't get to RP normally with. Had a nice morning talk/walk with Sindarion, chat with Odo, Momma Jade moment.
Wondering about alone finding little things and enjoying nature
Lessons with Rain, Billiam, Orion, Rylis
Conflicts with WW
IG tensions about main mod
True warlock/ Khitan Druid mod. Although we waited forever and it was at the slab in the dark... It was awesome!
Oh and learning that I can unlearn things 10 build at a time!? Yes please!

Can't wait for the next!

As always, the best thing about the event is spending time with friends- both in and out of game.

As for specific highlights:

-finally getting Tycho's experimental alchemy going, after months of trying to figure out how to make it work IG.

-getting to NPC as a bounty hunter- it made for some really enjoyable RP opportunities.

-getting to actually participate in a ritual (I extracted the umber essence from a shadowstone)

-being introduced to a part of the camp that I didn't know existed- it's not on the map!

-lessons, as both student and teacher. (Also, witnessing Buckles and his crossbow motivating Finnegan to learn "climb"!)

-all the mods I went on were well-crafted and enjoyable, and there was even some loot.

-lastly, of course, there was that frog in Alisandria. What's that about, anyway?

Here goes for procrastinating packing for my move back to CT:

-NPCing for Vince's mod. Gene, awesome job with this. Thank you to the both of you for letting me play this role and for allowing me to really get into the character. Mars, Cameron, Drew: thank you for putting up with all of the screaming.
-Screaming little kid part 2: The Exorcist and disgusting-tasting blood capsules that look awesome.
-WOOOOOOOT! STARTED ARCH-CASTER LESSONS! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THAT LESSON, ZACH! I HAVEN'T TOOK OFF THE CAPS LOCK EITHER! (ACTUALLY I'M JUST HOLDING DOWN SHIFT. I NEVER USE CAPS LOCK)
-On my actual shift, there was the pre-fairy plot fairy mod with Kristen, Cy, and Jason. One word: Knot. Hawhawheeheeehaw!
-Singing with Aemorniel at Feast. JJ, I absolutely adored performing that song. Our voices were almost flawless together. Imagine what we could do next (when we actually get to practice )
-Norm, At least one of them worked! I was rooting for you. Perhaps I should roll next time
-Main mod and THE FREAKING AWESOME SHADOW KING!!! Woah! Dude, that was intense!
-Jade's Song! Croi saying stupid things? Rowan eating stupid things? Arden punching Xualla in the face? Yup!
-Watching Finnegan's climb lesson. So funny! Also, I like Alisandria. They feed halflings. They apparently collect them, too.

Belated I know but I'll do a few

-Not leading intro mod. Gina it was nicely done for your first time
-Getting back from intro mod and get something by Ferin
-Going on the higher level mod for the shadow stone afraid I wasn't strong enough. Apparently Caelvan has proven himself somehow to people that they knew him better than he did
-Shadow King was awesome
-Druid/True Warlock mod. Zach I had fun, but perhaps not such a dangerous venue next time..... Da?
-Church/Fallen Valosian's on Sunday. Frank I'm sure the minute you saw myself and Diane you expected the mauls that were coming your way.

"Celtvan only drops his Kilt for Keavy"

Seriously though,
late night impromptu songs was pretty awesome.
Gonna be cheesy, but I felt really..for lack of a better word, loved.
It's nice, you know? to have written a bunch of silly songs and have people gather around you of their own volition asking "play this one", "sing that one", "write one for this person".
It was really touching, guys. so thank you.
I love this game. It lets me do these things.
