April 2014 (1214) Event Highlights!

Well, this event, IG and OOG, I learned that as soon as you realize Travance might be a safe place and start being a bit ridiculous, you learn just how much people like Waylay.

Saturday

A great way to start I suppose, all was quiet and relaxing for 4 strange hours where a bit less attacked than usual, and then I enter my NPC shift.

(Enters Shift-O-Vision)
It was wonderful, all the times I played as a rat and ended up horribly ganked were great, but I just loved the Prison Mod, because I got to finally learn how great Wild Magic is. I played as Lee Roy, the Wild Mage who was arrested for thinking he was a dragon, then he escaped, thanks to Malyc, or in his mind "Dragon Mama" Tsunamis everywhere! Just letting whoever gave me the "boom packets," I thank you out of all of my heart. I used them well. So, at the last playing of Lee Roy, we went looting and all of a sudden, a group comes in to take us to a nicer prison. So we talk and I keep looking at the others like "Really, we're going peacefully?" So, when they finally start leaving, I decided to Tsunami. It had no effect on, Galen (Correct me if I'm wrong,) so he Quick Binds me, then I Wild Mage popped 300 Magic Fire in a 10 feet radius. No effect. So, I go off, Quick Bound, and a few minutes later I say OOG "Told you I thought I was a dragon." Then I play a rat again, and get ganked.

Then I find out my meteoric dagger was stolen and feast, after getting Waylaid to the beach.

Feast
Was delicious as usual. Need I say more?

Main Mod

For once and only once, I am useful, by poking rats with my staff. Yay! Also, after this I hope someone will add "Wall of Rats" to the druid Fauna list.

Sunday

Stupid-O-Clock

First comes a group of Ogres who want to kill all mages. Being the first one in sight and the ONLY ONE who revealed themself as a mage, I do quite a bit of hiding. Then comes a group of "Travelers" looking for an "escort" in which, I try to help another person try to convince them that a spoon was more powerful than me. Then we get Waylaid outside by them. But I sort of helped them catch one of them and try to bring them to jail, then they run away. So then, a few hours later, I walk to the Mages Guild and realize that nothing attacked them at all and I could have just walked all the way over there 3 hours ago.

Normal Time

That time was the perfect time for quotes including:
"So, how are you feeling" after a brain surgery and
*sniffs unknown powder* "Now I'm ready for science!"

I witnessed an "Ostcliff Initiation" and I want to join Ostcliff now! I got to witness and wield itching powder and learned more people knew about my Demon Consumption than I thought.

Then, after trying to get Liddius's staff back, I learn just how "polite" Travancians are overall. (No OOG hard feelings guys, but IG, not so much.) First, after using one itching powder, another gets Retributioned at me. Then I get waylaid, then hit with a Trickster's Jibe. But then, at the very end, Liddius challenges me to a Mage's Duel. If you know my character level in comparison, how it ended was obvious. I blame Vertigo, but if I used Freeze Ground, I wonder what might have happened.

Overall, just great guys! Remember, if you think you're a Dragon while you're really a Wild Mage, Travance will execute you. Thanks for a wonderful time, hopefully I'll be at WitL!

This event was sorely needed, given the horrible two weeks that led up to the event.

Friday:
Talks with people before lay-on.

Sending out my dark druids who successfully made the druids look like jerks... sure they were arrested, but they still won that round.

Coming into game with a disease, blaming it on one of the rats trying to gank him on his way in.

Elric being convinced that Almat was drinking satyr's wine.

Saturday.

Learning metallurgy.

Mousetrap: the mod.

"I don't care if you are an ascended templar, you still owe me that lesson"

The joys of relocate.

fighting, deadpool style, during main mod.

"I'm looking for Viktor Solvei"
"Never heard of him, you should try checking outside"
Viktor's first (in-game) reanimation.

"this elf's liver is beyond repair, luckly I have a spare satyr's liver!"

"me looking for mages!"
"There was one behind you."
*ogre turns around*
*waylay barrage*

Lowlight:
Missing all of the in game shenanigans on sunday, but it was nice getting home when the sun was still up.

See you all in a month.

I also forgot Kwildar hugs!!!!!!! It was completely awesome!!!

highlight was a short conversation with Gideon friday night

-rifling through a pouch and something falls out-
Gideon: Would you like me to cast a light spell so you can find that?
Clove: No, it sounded like metal, so it was probably something worthless like gold.
Gideon: -has mini stroke- You know that is worth something to other people, right?
Clove: Then they will be very happy when they find it.

I came to watch steve get his head cut off and fight james, and I was not disappointed.
A+ RP WOULD RP AGAIN.

DUELING HORNS.

Mixolydia is forever my favorite character to RP with ever and if you haven't RP'd with her recently you're missing out.

NPC shift. also known as "let's calm the distressed peasant by getting her drunk"

Friday
Lay on baptism. Maralas does such a great job.
Heargen remembrance ceremony was some of the best and most completely immersive rp I've had at KR. Hearing people all tell wonderful, independently created in depth stories about an npc that never made an appearance drove home the depth of th e world

Mass was great as always.

RATS

Saturday
Xod had a blast with people.

Too much to do, had a hard time getting it all done.

Chronicler mod continues to be awesome. I loved my special role in this one. I feel sorry for anyone who is missing them.

Wedding setup slightly derailed by kidnapped wolf Keavey. Got to use my totem for a real purpose, Following the rats do you their hole...

Kept wishing I could find eggs and hand them out while totem form was up.

The wedding was awesome. Kudos to all involved.

Purposely drained all my DP and forgot my staff when escorting the lower levels to tower mod. Lots of fun. Kids did an amazing job as healers and buffers.

My Willpower lessons were torture. Annora had wife dancing and tempting me and I wasn't allowed to move. Then I had to eat dinner with manners. How cruel. However my secondary goal from the lessons may be working.

Main mod prep was chaotic.

At this point I will second how awesome Mixolydia is. There was a great moment of rp where she had Xod start singing fanfare of bravery on o th Era tong rt over his own fear that was so touching. She also gave him an important t quest earlier that day which he is still talking about.

Got there and set up a healing line with Xod and Tommy, and the nightwings. Then we heard about the deaths in the Inn and bolted back. So much death. Thankfully, I was able to bring Gwynedd back, and got to finally use my new trick.

Holding up in the monastery and fighting waves of rats and kin was fun, but for the overload of assassinates. Very heavy props to the npc for being good about the kids, th e dead body and the glass, with out making the scene less dangerous. Thank you to whomever did a point and click way lay on Xod. He was happy to be attacked.

Post main mod warlock hunt was frustrating, but had great rp, and one of the funniest coincidences ever. Thank you Npc bears for showing up exactly where you Steve told us we could try something only if we found an animal.

Sadly had to leave at this point. Excites to be back next month. This event may have changed a bunch of how Caldor will be advancing, so I look forward to the development.
