March 2014 (1214) Event Highlights!

If someone posts a highlights page before I post this then I'll just be doing some copy pasting.
But aside from that...What a wonderful weekend that was, Friend-os!

I want to start my highlights off with a (rather quiet cuz of the whole internet text thing) round of applause for Gene (If I butchered the spelling, please forgive me). Reece approves of your awesome Dwarven themed event even though all I could think of all weekend was DA:O "A Paragon of Her Kind". Very well put together and very well played out by everyone involved. Kudos to Shane, Larry, and Jen, The Baroness.

Friday night was Sébastien's night to SHINE!....The wood of the bar. Because that was my job. And to those of whom I served....You're welcome.
Later that night was a get together with my Friend-os that will stay personal to me. Sorry for the lack of highlights there...But you deserve it.

Sleep!

Saturday morning consisted of me yet again working the bar and taking breakfast orders. Again, Je vous en pris.
Explored a mine full of sinkholes and chasms and didn't die, rode a mine cart out with satisfaction knowing that it would be a good day.
NPC
I was a tree. A corrupted tree. Yes.
I was a racketeer whom was sent to jail for mugging the poor man I was assigned to rob whom was then FUCKING INCINERATED! And then snorted. Yessssssssssss!
I was rocking that drawrven look (and rage) for a good five minutes before being calm discoursed...-Sigh- That spell will never let me live out my full potential.
Feast consisted of pork shoulder and me leaving as soon as the bards opened their annoying little mouths (Reece loves you guys, Sébastien does not).
More hanging out with my friend-os after feast.

This line of isolated text is dedicated to Arthur C. Goggins and reads as follows; HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Bitch. (Love ya Cory).

Have you ever been mauled to death by an angry Travancian Dwarf? I still have chunks of your spine, sir...I'll return them in exchange for my teeth.
Other than that, I loved that main mod.

Sleep!

Wake up and visit an ice cave with four strangers...Yeah, I'm an idiot...But we made it out alive, somehow.
Dissect EVERYTHING! And then sell it to Zelretch, of course.
[strike]Got knocked out by an old guy[/strike] NOT THIS TIME EDWIN! WOO!
Didn't drop my pancakes.
And to cap it off, Baroness...You're welcome.

Leave your interesting highlights for your adventures this march in this post below!
Also, happy early birthday to......................ME! (hashtag21OnWednesday)

And as I always like to say, Thank you everyone for having a great weekend and being a part of why I really love every experience I have at KR. The 6-7 hour drives there an back will ALWAYS be worth it.
Enjoy your rest before next we meet!

So during announcement when I saw John propose to Leslie in front of everyone, I thought to myself "This is going to be a great event." And it was. This was totally worth the three hour trip to Sparta from Long Island.


Friday Night: Got a pair of swords. Definitely beats the daggers I used to carry around.
Female dwarves have beards. Kind of blew my mind with that.
Finally, drow showed up! I got to roleplay Kanas' hatred for the drow to the fullest extent, including nearly getting arrested by the guard for threatening to kill a drow prisoner they were going to interrogate.
NPC shift as an assassin who got out of prison. I went to the bar, got smashed with Takouri, Jorik, and some other people while hitting on the barmaids. Then went into the inn drunk, started reading then talked with Belegchand and Brother Aldric about whatever the hell was going on in Travance, all while playing a complete idiotic released prisoner. When I was told about the drow, I asked about their appearance. Brother Aldric told me that they have pointed ears and black skin so I looked at Belegchand and said "so like him, only with black skin." The look on his face was hilarious. Then I walked out of the inn, got drunk again, then walked out of the inn, and did not get arrested by the guard for being an escaped prisoner. Then played random mobs including drow, where shenanigans occurred, including a Entwined Galen to a dying drow.

Saturday: Did not get any sleep that morning, then went downstairs and did some stuff, including getting food. Then spent market faire talking to dwarves and trying to figure out what was going on, then saw the negotiations for the dwarves and the dark dwarves, then got my swords sharpened by a dwarf who was later revealed to be the King of Casavorin, which was a real shock when I found out.
Frost Giant mob ended in a giant snowball fight. Freaking wonderful.
Tower mod made my character have a very poignant emotional moment, and made me wonder everything about his ideals and beliefs for the rest of the event.
Missed feast. I was too tired by then. Grabbed some food and got ready for main mod.
Main Mod: Pure unfiltered slaughter. Kanas kicked butt during the battle, including a point where a dwarf rogue blade tranqued him, then body shot after body shot for 2 damage, then kept swing for 2s until I got out of the daze and beat him to the ground. The guy playing the dwarf said to me "you know, you can defend during the daze" and all I said was "I know, but I still beat you."
When the dwarf king left, I said to him this: "may you see, find, and bite all that oppose you". Best things that Kanas ever said to anyone.
Naptime
Sunday: I learned a lot about valor, and how everything in travance ends in jokes about private areas. Then learned bear strength from Keavy in the best way ever.
Got dystentry, then it was cured, then got rank 3 leprosy. Was not fun. Will carry around all the cure disesase potions.
Taught germinate and animal empathy in the manner that Kanas would, gruff, immersive, and completly different from the druids and conventional lessons.
Also, there was a puppy. A freaking adorable puppy who honked.
Overall, an excellent event

Well March is the month for changes. My main highlight has to be the Marriage Proposal at Lay On. I had no idea where John was going with his announcements. I retreated to Logistics to get my head together. I'm a good RPer but you just don't get back in Character that fast. I was shaking. Lol. I adore that man for realizing who my true family is...

Baronial guard Private Drexel. Guard at talks investigator into poisoning at the table. Kudos to the healer who walked out of the bathroom and was IC as she did so to heal one of the representatives! Way to go! Tour guide of the forges. Smith in training. Finding and using that common ground. The run to catch the Dwarven representatives to try to get them back to the table. Flirting with the yellow bearded dwarf thinking cousin of one of her fav dwarfs... Yeah way to go...consorting either a king. Head desk moment after the reveal.

Advising the Baroness on observations I find out later was somewhat the plan... Well at least her powers of observation are good...right? Right?

That run bringing on a plot twist. Love to make a DM ST Plot Marshal think fast. Lol. Love you Gene.

I billion hugs and OOC congrats! After a while the jumps in and out of character were easy. Lol those few brave souks who admitted tears of joy. You know who you are...extra special thanks for those!

Kitchen work. It's been a long time since I worked kitchen. I missed the camaraderie of cleaning and bringing up the food on Sunday morning.

Doing make up for main mod. Selfies bring posted. And one player who hates make up looking at the job and going ok me next! Made me smile.

Farmer turned looter. Selling manacles looking for money to buy seed getting both a superior made shovel and... An offer of a home in Alisandria! She'd so have been there the following morning seed and shovel in hand ready to get to work!

I love this game you peeps are my peeps and the memories just pile up!

This is probably in my list of "Most character development for Ava" events. IT's either 1 or 2 but I'm not sure which.

FRIDAY:

First of all thanks to Gus for a fun scene.

Coming into town all bloodied and wounded and no one really surprised but also not really listening when she said her wounds weren't healing. Eventually that got resolved by an angry Zelretch who had to insist over and over for Ava to drink potions.

Dr. Maxwell telling her she had pox and was very very unstable mind wise. Ava shrugging it off and walking away...Raxas trying to charm her to come back but blowing a willpower to say she'll get it looked at later.

Whilest poxed, scaring all the quinarians at the scholar table....Sorry guys, I made it a point after that first encounter to try and be near you when I could..

Following Jack around that night/ most of the weekend because he was the first person she saw after coming out of the void...thanks to Gus and anyone he interacted with for letting her be a lost puppy/servant type deal lol.

SATURDAY.

First of all kudos to Steve, Judge, Gus, Tim, Tori and Conor P.....much fun was had and amusement....

Following Jack most of the day... Getting beat up for calling Zelretch her 'husband' instead of her 'arranged' husband.

Getting ordered to get healed from the pox It wouldn't have been such a big scene......but you know Psychopathy does stuff to a girl (Still haven't been apologized too BTW for anyone who was interested in knowing that follow up)

Really interesting start of a talk with Albert.....telling him healers didn't heal people as a selfless act...but because they didn't want to hurt anymore. Having Albert agree with her on some points related to that and to other things talked about....hopefully we get to talk more... Ava has lots to say

Angeliana being the first to legitimately care if Ava felt alright... Ava wasn't sure how to react, especially because the "alright" she was talking about was no longer about emotions to Ava....that light left in her seemed to have dimmed very much from what happened to her... now sensory feelings are much more pleasant.

Trying to stay away from Groups, as unless they were composed of people she didn't mind, it really made her want to kill people.

Being stressed when Jack wasn't there because she was afraid she'd mysteriously end up in the Void again...at this point she's more afraid of how she's randomly getting there...rather than actually being there.

Killing lots and lots of things.

SUNDAY

Getting yelled at by Keavy for splaying open a dire wolf she killed and reaching into and trying to find out why she can't just dissect things....let's just say it meant that Ava destroyed everything she tried to pull out.

Everyone who knew she was super crazy asking if she got looked at yet....she responded with "kinda" or "I love Dr. Maxwell cause he waits until I'm ready to be looked at"

Those diseased rats.....seriously. Getting up to stage four Leprosy...then went on a killing rampage...killing Rat Gannon mid-air, then killing the next five or six rats swing after swing...to then fall to like 2 damage. People trying to heal me without seeing if I was diseased....getting into crit but then being okay in the end. Ava is seriously was disease magnet this event.

Zelretch showing some real caring emotion to Ava when she was brought out of crit and into consciousness. He actually hugged and kissed her. Perhaps there is some emotion in that bitter man


This event was so great I hope to see everyone in April as I'm unsure if I will be able to make the alt event. Keep being sweet guys

Who knew disregarding every consequence for your actions could be so much fun.

Alice and Will, hating you both is just the best. Keep up the good work!

I'd have to say, I've never seen a more perfect storm of things going wrong in just the right ways than Friday night.
What I had believed to be just the simple assault and attempted murder of a dwarf that would surely get me thrown in jail, turned into an absolute mess of hilarious problems. Who knew Travance would try to stop the Dark Paladin from killing a demon.

Also, I'm so very sorry for accidentally running into the new player group! Sean Moulson, however, had it coming.

One of the biggest highlights from this event was actually being about to talk to characters as a sane, rational human being for 2 hour.

That is of course, second to sending Ruindol through the Phokus on Main Mod because of Tobar.

Keep it crazy kids and get ready for the Alt Event!

First, a big congratulations to John and Leslie.

Most of my highlights are little things that somehow were just really fun.

Dwarves of many varieties! Faila loves dwarves. I did have an awkward moment right after I arrived on Saturday morning where Faila sat down to chat with Rudolph and promptly discovered she had just joined a beardless King of the Dwarves for breakfast. Oops.

Jen's blue kitchen potion and Kleiden's restorative ginger beer.

Getting clarification on the new smithing rules and liking them.

Faila's commercial transaction - I haven't figured out why it was so satisfying, but it was.

Main mod shield wall - super fun. Faila actually fought and did some good stuff - hurray for my shield and shatter weapon. It was my first time taking down an NPC by myself. And Faila has the swag to prove it! Granted, Sister Leandra had to use an intercede to keep Faila from having to take a 100 body shot, and Sir McKreagar and friends came to her rescue after she was stunning blowed - ah well, time to find some defenses. Thank you to all the NPCs for the fun fighting.

Beards. I really wanted to braid some beards, but Faila didn't. Some day!

Yummy pork!

Thanks to everyone on staff for a great event.
