September Highlights

It had been years since I came to Knight Realms and I guess I just want to say my first highlight would be the community. It's really nice to not be somewhere for a very long time and come back to the kindness and openness that I have received.

In terms of IG highlights:

Ric Dolan. Lord Hellock is such a complicated and complex character. I look forward to breaking this puzzle down.

I absolutely love RPing the animosity between Dark Elves and High Elves with Arden Silverbow. It's like a chess game between him and I. It is just so fun to play out.

Edwin, as always for being as shady and as good as he is depending on the interaction.

My fight with the squire of Ostcliff. I don't remember your name but I assure you my character will not forget your face -- or her now undying hatred of you. Also, telling you off in front of your lord -- twice.

My RP interactions with Clytie, the nyad, who will forever be my "Let's make jokes about how stupid confession is.." partner.

The vice captain of the guards apologetic confession.. I think Crimson would have almost preferred Slacks method -- at least he would not have apologized for it.

Creeping out random PC's by just sitting on the porch and not talking. It's amazing what you can do in terms of atmosphere by not speaking when one is a Drow. I enjoy this and plan to explore it further.

Solomon, Jude or June (I'm not sure what the correct name of your character is, my apologies,) and Dr. Maxwell's cruel humor.

One of my favorite moments had to be when the imps came to attack the inn. I was sitting on the porch literally doing nothing and when they came up to attack everyone else, they did nothing to my character. Sometimes it is easier when you just let others assume the worst I suppose.

I had so much fun. It's nice to be back.

Kindly,
Michelle

What an event. I am still recovering from lack of sleep. Sleep is overrated anyway:

Friday:
New guest at the Guild
At the Guild and was visited by three redcaps. They only wanted to punch us or rather have us run into their fists. We gave in and they left. If they had arrived ten minutes later, we would have had real problems.
Awesome ritual by Master Weavewarden, that was enjoyed by all present.
Lord Montgomery!
Serious talk with another Master of the Guild. I could feel tears.
Being summoned by the Baroness to help with a problem.

Saturday:
10a-2p Logistics Shift: thanks to Stacey for helping me with a medical issue.
Awesome burger at Alisandria.
Mage's Guild meeting with food by Ginny. Always a positive reinforcement for attendees.
Pirate Mod-great job by Sharone with an unexpected overlarge group. Alisia as the insane crew member did a great job, even after she was brought back to Travance.
Spending time with Colin.
Feast Outside was comfortable and the pork was incredible.
Main Mod was really fun as well as dangerous as it was spread out over a larger area. Great job by the NPCs who seemed to be everywhere.
No Amizar and Verrill, you're not going with that woman. Maybe the Nyad can go though. She is now my second favorite nyad. On second thought, let's gets down to the waterfront and sort through this. Great job by the merpeople.
Ran into an upset human woman with relationship problems. No good deed goes unpunished. "I need a wild mage!"
Vermin, vermin and more vermin! I have not felt such fear in a long time. Was given kindness at the Kaledonia Statehouse. Dash to the Guild to check on Mirwen. Things got worse and I was greeted by an unexpected visitor to the Guild. She said we don't make the type of deal that was proposed. Most of the town was down there. Ardin was truly touched. Could have been much worse.

Sunday:
Ritual-more pressure than usual but pulled it off despite a small hiccup.
Telepathic contact!
Enjoying the pit fighting. Great job by Sean and his merry band of fighters. Watch out for that brute though, she's pretty mean-looking.
Gideon getting in a stinger. Ouch.

It was truly a great event. Kudos to Kristen and those who made it possible. There were so many. Saw some very good role playing, especially from our newer players. Keep up the good work!

Let us make this tradition. Every friday night, we get together and make fun of confessions and the interrogators when they're being unreasonable.

Nope. You wanna bump back down to fourth? Work with me here.

There were waaaaay too many things I loved about this event, but let's see if I can't get them all into perspective.

Friday: Returning to Alisandria and having the Red wearing folk take me in like I had never left. It'd been since the WITL since I could go to KR so I was really excited to be there. Then the Gypsy Children Mod hit that night. Geez what a slaughterhouse..... I mean we all got grinded up for the most part which led to amazing argument with a certain Dr. Demontfort. Oh the joy I had running into Dr. Maxwell and explaining the situation. Be careful with your words James, next time you decide to call a Notherner a coward, you better hope the Barony is around to save you again. Also the argument with the RedCaps at the bar after one had levitated me in my tent was also great. I think I rp'ed that wonderfully. I especially loved Judge opening my tent and telling me to shut up, then promptly asking e if I had jumped before.

I GOTS ME FOUR RPING POINTS AS WELL!!! 1 for the argument in the bar, 1 for rouge mod, one from Master Silverbow, and the other from a woman playing a nyad who enjoyed me spitting on the ground after I got entranced by Corey. Btw Corey....... dirty, dirty move you deliciously evil bastard you. Thankfully Dr. Maxwell saved me before tearing out my own heart, whew!

Saturday: As I stated before Corey entranced me and almost had me tear out my own heart. Npcing as a Piskey (Spell check) and drawing a flower onto a resident of Drega Mera's chest, only to have him declare eye for and eye and have a flower on my chest as well. But then I was promptly turned back to Logicistics to go for rouge mod. I then had a pretend card game with a man I can't remember your name, but it was great rping and then Jeff weyley'd us both. Then I got to be an owl bear, only to be hit with an incapacitate and fall before I terrorized the two innocent ladies I was chasing.

Main mod for me was kinda on the thumbs down side though, not saying it was bad, but I ended up being on the shield wall for the gold path as we tried to get that skin, only to have one wolf show up, and then stand around for 10 minutes before moving out. Being that I was upset about that I went back to the inn looking for a fight and found myself roleplaying with Master Silverbow where I recieved my 3rd rp point. It made me feel awesome that even though this was my second moon, I was damned good at rping.

Running down to the lake to deal with Nyad's was great, all the way up until I was his with enslavement and then sent after Lord Blackthorne in which I took a header into the sand.

Then came the dreaded gank squad. I challenged a redcap to a duel and got bodied, then proceeded to have to fight vermin lords where I got my limbs eaten not once, but twice! Oh how terrible it was. The worst part about Gank squad was that I was toe to toe with a Vermin lord minion I think and I was doing really good. A Recap then walked up and after taunting me for about 2 minutes, swung and hit me for 30 magic. Oddly enough I only have 29 body and was at full health..... ain't that a shame? Dropped into Crit, then was carried back to the monestary for some healing.


Sunday: A dragoon handed me two enigmatic ores and a master lock box that Dr. Maxwell opened up for me. Got a bunch of goodies in there and now Jack is on the hunt for 8 more ores!

Am I really posting this nearly a week late?

Alex G and I were on site only on Saturday and we had a great time. Our last event I found it easy to RP Faila, but this event, RP was challenging and I found her to be distracted, although I think there may be a good IG reason for that.

The Good

Smithing items that people actually needed - hurray for iron and tier 1 materials ("take that Angus")! I used up all my CP for the first time which convinced me to dump a bunch of build into getting more.

Having the shield Alex and I made pass for safety.

Watching Alex G. RP with Billiam and Ilana doing research as I smithed in the Armory.

Watching some new players with great RP (May in particular who at her second event - I think - had the courage to address nearly the entire town down in Alisandria).

Getting to catch up with Ree and Jason as we prepped for feast.

Meeting both Dimitri and Lethias IG and not having a clue who they were either IG or OOG until we introduced ourselves.

Smithing upstairs at the Inn and suddenly realizing the Selkie Prince was sleeping in the same room. Brian, your NPC was so pathetic I couldn't do anything except offer to help, and feel helpless I couldn't do more.

Main mod

Driving home at 11 pm and having Alex G. tell me as he crashed out "this was the best event ever, I really felt like I was a part of everything." Nothing like being protected by the fighters of Pendarvin during main mod (including Grumbleguts, a Lord, a Mage, and a Paladin) to make a young scholar feel important. Thanks to everyone who made that happen! And thanks to the Storytellers who used this model to keep the lower level players involved.

The Bad

• Finding out said homemade shield was heavy (but I still can't wait to get to use it)
• My flying prat fall during new player mod - no bruise kit can replicate what now exists on my knees - but it is good to know I still bounce pretty well.

The Ugly

• Being told by Dimitri that Faila couldn't hone iron weapons and realizing I'd cheated when swinging for an extra +1 during the new player mod earlier in the day - both Faila and I were really mortified even if it was unintentional. Mea culpa - Magnus, please don't drag me in for questioning.
• Understanding how to beat the "shell game" every time only minutes after watching various body parts being eaten during main mod - a complete duh moment

Thanks to everyone for a great event.

Sorry,this is a week late.

Before I give my Highlights, I want to give a big thank you to Kirsten, J.J., Brian and all the npcs that made last event so Great!

I loved being apart of the main mod gathering the healersThalia and my gypsy friend and my Alissandrian friend(I am sorry I do not remember your names) who helped with the prince! thank you so much!!!
