September Highlights

Friday
Clytie mostly sat at the tea table that night, selling tea and just kind of listening to everything. Some were a bit wary to approach a lone Nyad at a tea vendor, but she's kept plenty of company in that time. Rather mellow, though there were definitely moments of growing tension (ie the court of fae that flitted through)

Saturday
Big day, naturally. Drega'brunch was lovely and she met plenty of folks, followed by retrieving a stolen blade. After a little trek to the waterfront to check up on anything going on (was something happening there that morning or the evening before? I heard rumors), Clytie ran into the Nyad supposedly kidnapping people. She was offered a chance at immortality if she aided in locating the Mortalis. That ended in fighting and locating the door to the space between spaces. After a lot of observation and some tiny conflicts, she offered herself as tribute to ensure the aid of Councillor Morgana and to help retrieve the key to the door to be opened that evening. The high afterwards was the closest thing to being high or drunk that she's ever dealt with. She was healed and promptly shared with the Baroness all she knew about the situation, the Nyad's plan (one she dubbed "asshole") and the connected dirty plot dealing with the Unseelie court. Goggins had managed to retrieve a charm from the inverted tower that Clytie immediately recognized as the one belonging to Asshole, and she promptly purchased it from him, as he'd have little use for it.(If someone knows how to reenchant an item, let her know! According to it's previous owner, it had Wind Walk) Feast was spent plotting for the evening, and following the issues regarding Lord Fallow, Clytie ended up losing a pint of blood in the games of shells with the Kappa to retrieve the skin.

Sunday
I'm putting this here as a technicality, it felt like Saturday night though it happened in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Clytie was charmed into following a neutral water faerie who made her little base at the waterfront. (I forget what her race was called. Sprigot? Maybe, I'm awful with names.) Her race was known to either drown people or grant them rewards and treasure; being a Nyad incapable of drowning, Clytie liked those odds. It turns out it was a mother bring people to play with her four children, each of which starved for attention and playtime. She actually enjoyed getting to know the young sprites and sharing her stories. Others came down eventually, and before Clytie could urge them that the neutral spirits had no real ill will, she was slain. She was identified and healed shortly thereafter, but her situation and the actions taken against the water family enraged her. The injured mother did end up giving her the treasure promised, but three quarters of it was confiscated by the supposed "heroes" of the battle. She stormed to bed after that, and is currently taking legal action against Billliamm for his assault on her. Great intro for an interesting session next month for sure.

Then NPC shift came the next morning. Rather uneventful but extremely fun as usual. Very little really stands out, honestly, though I have decided in the future to continue the use of an NPC peasant character I used last month, and continue Sybil's adventures about Travance.

All in all, another successful weekend, and it seems I've dug myself into a little hole regarding attendance next month. I look forward to seeing you all in October!

Oh boy where to start from....

As a New Player, I knew my learning curve was going to be interesting and trying to remain true to the background and story for Duncan was going to be a challenge... and at some points, I was not disappointed in the lack of challenge I've had a bunch of coaching on KR and what to expect by Leslie (tpo Birgitta Drexel) and Geoff (Gideon) so I was fore-warned/forearmed as to what was coming.

Friday: Got in a half hour before NP intro and rules explanation... good info and wonderful banter.

The NP mini-adventure was a blast, getting feet wet (so to speak) and finding I still have a fair ability to move attack AND defend (very important when you don't want to be hit!!). Finding out my cloak distraction/parry was not allowed was a bummer for me but only a minor one- just meant I needed better footwork.

The mod to rescue the gypsy childer was fun and messed up all at the same time. I had a feelign we were not gonna be successful and I can see where this opens up some potentially serious problem for Travance later. Gypsy Grudges and Anger are not so easily assuaged... and anyone who thinks such a thing is no big deal isn't thinking. My opinion of course- your mileage may vary.
Albert's RP was excellent and for me a touch haunting as I've been irl where his PC was. If I had a RP card to give out, I'd have given him it right then, it was that scary good.

Saturday was alot of running around doing various things and getting a better lay of the lands... and getting a favor promised as payment to me in exchange for help to gain an item of interest. As was stated then... money has a value, a favor to be claimed later is invaluable.

I was a monster for the main mod and had a blast playing a enhanced wolf... For anyone who I "flashed" when acting as a wolf lifting leg to piss in your direction, thanks for rolling with the pantomimed joke as intended. Y'all got it and the commentary was priceless afterwards... If you can't have a laugh at some point in all this, y'all are taking it too seriously.

Sunday was more chatting with folks and getting a chance to learn a skill from Aella. Much more learning is to come, I am sure...

nighttime invasions.... were humorous, to say the least as the very irate witchhunter who had just went to bed in the cabin arose, solo-smoked the undead party attacking the building and then went outside one more time to slaughter some more who were making a racket. The following night's invasion was no less odd but very.... satisfying in actions/reactions..


All in all, I had a blast and I look forward to attending again and again- perhaps finally getting my meeting with the Baroness (three times arranged and attempted, three times foiled by in-game events... go figure.) I know the meeting will happen- from what I am told, when SHE says it will happen, it generally does and she stressed a chat was to happen.

Awesome time for me and I learned more than a little bit... Thanks for everyone making this a great event.

Friday
The event began as every good event should, making initial pleasantries and making my presence known as to deal with any initial hostility.
After which its time to take roll of all company members present followed by a friendly smoke on the porch where i meet the new smokers in town
Many laughs throughout the night about who has which fetish

Saturday
First priority is it sell enough scrolls to buy breakfast-mission accomplished
After breaking even I go and sell scrolls to whoever wants them while carefully avoiding getting pulled into plot
Convieniently dodging main mod and finding out that I'm not in the guard's registrar possibly the chance I've been waiting for to quit

Sunday
Tending bar at happy hour
Convieniently being ignored when the vermin lords attack the inn dropping everyone around me
Finally getting caught and dragged into combat but I got to play with decay
Realizing too many fairies make lucius insane

Having been my first time at KR this weekend, everything was AMAZING! I did however miss Saturday night main mod, but enjoyed carrying the table for The Kappa-esk character and lighting the path to said character. Aella, if the npc stepped on your hand, he was with me and is extremely sorry. He honestly did have no idea you were there. I loved being slain over and over again, listening to the pc's describe my dissection... with having one in serious need of anger management, lol. After Friday, just one day of being there, I decided to make a character, so hopefully come November (took to much time off in Oct for Comic-Con) I'll be pc-ing instead of npc.

So, to start off, I want to thank everyone for a great time. Avalyn truly came out of her shell this moon, and it was invigorating to say the least. Also, sorry to anyone NPCing in regard to the Inverted Tower for the lower seasoned players. Heh...

Friday

- When there's nothing to fight-- what's there to do? Well, mine as well get drunk off a bottle of Ale. What could that hurt? In my case, I finally ALMOST asked Secarius to the Moresca Ball. Oh and I made a lot of friends, or well, friends I never drank with until now. Shout out to Nimmie and any other new players I met most brashly.

- Attempted to move the legs of a deep dwarf, since he so rudely would not let me pass and instead kept his boots pressed upon the table. Once threatened, I refused argue with someone so stubborn. (Elias, you being around totally made this event great)

- NPC shift: I played as a very curious, yet mischievous piskie (sp?) who drew faces on those she met. Heh, had a GREAT time at Kaledonia. And thanks to those select few who played along and decided not to slaughter me. The barbarian who started foaming at the mouth worried me some though...

- Being a merchant and selling useless items to those in the Inn. Bright side, I got my first RP point of the night.

- Picked up the courage, (while not drunk, because Albert healed me of poison-- thanks... lol) and had a hilarious interaction with Secarius who knew all along that I'd been trying to ask him out but kept trying to get me to simply outright say "I want you to be my DATE... ROMANTICALLY! GRAWH" He said, "yes" in the end.

Saturday

- A dull morning, hungry, and tired. Avalyn had a lot of paperwork from 2-6 am. Whilst running around for food, and receiving the most amazing pita bread with hummus (THANK YOU SO MUCH KIND, SIMPLE MAN WITH NO SHIRT ON!) Your name slips from my mind at the moment, but you don't know how helpful you were to me this whole event (from pirate attacks to providing me with gold).

- Went through the Inverted Tower and felt amazing fighting one-on-one with a wolf. (It was a good idea, don't get me wrong)

- Main Mod, I ended up getting really upset because I had to stand there not doing much until after the negotiation with the Faeries. I had to hear people I loved and cared about being slaughtered-- first time I cried in Travance. I wished I could handle the battlefield, but in reality, a psion doesn't have the option of upfront combat.

- Drank Moonshine-- almost got put through the focus by Qu'on Lu. Yeah, Chaotic Feast is BAD NEWS. Especially, since I died-- came back to life and continued raging. I put two people into 'serious' condition, one being Scout (the healer who healed me all those times when the Lizardkin attacked.) I felt so awful about it, that I was shaking.

- Morals were in check a great deal tonight. From the wrath of being stolen from while consumed by Chaotic Feast, to denying my ability to become Andorran. Mass was beautiful, Father Quildar knows how to make a great speech. I was thoroughly moved, yet horrified by my inability to control my powers... or my willingness to not want more power. A lot of questions, and a lot of thinking about who I really am.

- I love making Master Crone proud. I love also making myself proud to be a Psion. However, what are these powers going to be used for?

Sunday

- Fell to two Red Caps who attacked me in my room at the Inn. Very scary.

- Awoke to Kilgar's nightmares-- something about gypsy children?

I so needed this fun weekend. It was so much fun thanks to my sister.

Friday
So I got to act all depressed and flesh out dominic at his worst Thanks to everyone who roleplayed with me on page getting killed. Super fun!

Saturday
Dominics speech to Shaemus involving everything he has and what it represents, his mission in life, and everything he stands for.
Darth Galen speech, best speech I have ever heard!

Sunday
Getting a lesson of immaculate defense from Aleister which means getting my butt kicked by Aleister, Solomon, Orophin, and Lathiel in several different ways which in the end turns to a strategic lesson. Still really fun and I enjoyed it.
