May Event Highlights

I don't remember much of Friday, but what I do I liked

-Kidneys! An elves weakness

-People suddenly loving my bandages.

-Flasks! Magic for days!

-The weekend long conversation over a flower. Ilana learned some things.

-Meeting the Faun again. All parts of Glade mod.

-Calliope's death. Ilana may not be a bard, but she cared. Super upset she couldn't save her

-The brawl. "I hope Aleister likes Mithril" *BAM!* "Did you give Billliamm your shield!?"

-Drega'plot. Might have accidentally slept on the dock most of it.

-Ilana: "So, we're just going to let Arden finish her talk and then we can go to bed?" "Yeah" "Awesome" *Croí's body is brought in* Ilana doing her best to be gentle, despite injuries.

-"It's alright, I just scared you. Besides, it doesn't count, you changed your mind so fast, I think you were just looking for an excuse."

-So many deaths of people already reanimated. Dr. DeMontfort totally bummed he couldn't reanimate anyone. Ilana promised him if he's ever around and she dies, he gets 'dibs'

-Chaos Wastes? Yes please! Ilana's first region lore. Excited.

This may have my best event ever. It is certainly in my top 5. First of all, thanks to James and all the marshalls who work so very hard to make events safe, successful and fun. Thanks also to the folks who stay at the Manor. I feel blessed to bunk with such a great group!

Friday night: I finally got to do some RP with Angeliana instead of just doing a fly by, "Andorra loves you." It was good; but made Maralas get angry at Grim. Next, yelling at Grim and promising him unhappiness if he hurts Angeliana. Of course, this conversation led to Angeliana slipping Grim's vigilant guarding and he yelled at Maralas. So much good RP! Then to the Gaian Mass! Thanks to all who made it there! I really enjoyed it and, as always, was glad that Caldor added the missing element to the mass. It's almost like we planned it . . . Thanks, also to everyone who participated by speaking and/or receiving purification.

The Star of the event, for me was when Pulvius sang to Maralas after Mass. Such a beautiful surprise! I am still completely touched by it. So much love to you Romeo! I swear this made my whole event!!!


Saturday: Market Faire seemed to be lightly attended, yet, I wrote my fingers off making potions and salves for people. I also made a good amount of money. That was nice because I got to buy people breakfast. Maralas loves doing that! Then I was off to the Wedding. Romeo's jester was the perfect mix of charming and creepy! Carlos did a wonderful job with the ceremony and all seemed well until SLAUGHTER! Crazy! I was impressed at the reactions of shock and grief and chief among those for me was Meander smiting the carnations. Lots of great RP!

Light Mass! Yay! Sorry I was late; but I was there. The meeting after was some really good RP. Much was said that needed to be said. Now is time for people to begin with actions. I can't wait to see how things go. Much love to all my clergy buddies! Also, much thanks to the people who care about what happens to the clergy. I'm feeling hopeful.

Feast: The food was delicious, hot, timely and plentiful! For me it was one of the best I have ever attended. Thanks again to the Chef and all of the kitchen staff! You all rock!

Sunday morning lessons were pretty great! Thank you, Rudolf, for your lessons and advisement. I love it when we talk shop. I am still smiling about my lesson with Gideon. I guess we really have not had many in-dephth conversations about how we believe prayers really work. I love that I surprised him.

Friday:
-Thank you larp exchange for being there with the exact things I needed when I needed them.
-I was expecting a very different sort of plot until Don'Kellard came in himself and started interacting with all of us. Clytie didn'd get the answer from him that she was hoping for, even before she could ask her question, but their little interaction was fun.
-Bug Sebastien enough, and maybe one day you will get free mead. Shhh, you didn't hear it from me.
-NPC shift to opposite Don'Kellard as Ambassador Zarah Cairnshroud. This too took an unexpected turn. All your damn fault Billiam. This is why we can't have nice things.

Saturday:
-She became very fond of a lovely rock in the forest. Granted, the rock gave her extra magical strength. Plus it was glowy and pretty.
-She made the grave mistake of giving Satyr's wine to Halflings. The next half hour was spent trying to keep them from drinking her.
-The conclusion of Chronicler mod had Clytie turning on her friends more times than she has ever in the past. Also of course the word "the" would throw us all off. And of course the answer she would get would be from the reflection of the Piety mod. The Sun.
-Literally had the most perfect toss of an itching powder to save a hostage. She aimed for the guy in front, a good thirty feet away, but ended up hitting the one who was a second away from killing the hostage another 20 feet behind him. She has never been more proud of herself.
-Clytie's Nyad senses were tingling at the wedding, as she tried to get permission from Tobar to kill the creepy jester even before his ceremony began. If only he had said yes... But still, that wedding was the most terrified I've ever been at Larp. Nothing like forced paralysis, death opera, werewolves, and ripping out poor Calliope's guts to turn your blood cold.
-Meander eventually made it better by tricking Satyr's Wine down Clytie's throat. She briefly became a dryad, mistook Mel for an adorable fluffy cerberus, caught the bouquet, uncontrollably laughed at Jed as he tried marrying her, and stumbled upon Herrister's abandoned cane. Best part, she only remembers that tail end. As mentioned in the lost and found, he may or may not get that cane back.
-Took 6 or 7 months, but Clytie finally formally joined the Mage's Guild.
-"Have you met my wife 'ere?" "He keeps saying that..." Those interactions with Jed were priceless. She will vehemently deny marrying him for a long time to come.
-Also her fear of wedding ceremonies has returned at least twentyfold.
-Okay yeah sure I'll help keep you from dying and identify that you were poisoned. But I'm taking your jello. Peace.
-Continually wondering what the hell Magnus was smoking when he appointed Clytie to help lead the Flower Brigade. Seriously. First you deputized her while she was drunk and now this?
-Not that I was necessarily complaining though, even though trying to organize everyone was like herding cats, Clytie enjoyed working with Cael and surprised herself with a knack for rallying very different people.
-You go, eagle Kleiden, you go. Caw caw motherfuckers.
-Almost went on dregamod and maybe ate the rot worm, but I got in a no holds barred fight with the staircase instead, Ankle still hurts a little, but with all of the banister bits missing from the staircase, I think I can safely say that I won.

Sunday:
-So much learning. Advanced in 2 schools of alchemy and a new sphere of magic, and Clytie is so so so close to fire mastery.
-I think she's better friends with Wolf Keavy than Elf Keavy after all those ear skritches she gave.
-Finally melding with water in Sindarion's MagiTech teapot. She loves that thing so much.
-Owen and Sindarion's shirtless wrestling match, now there's entertainment.

Overall this was one of the best events I've been to, period. I really got to explore Clytie as a character more, play an active part in the happenings of the town, and overall felt more immersed than I have in a long time. I won't be there for the entirety of week in the life, full time job gets in the way, but I'm looking forward to the time I'll spend with all of you there!

I had a great time this event and find that each one I am doing more and understanding more of what I do. I still have no clue generally, but there is progress.

Friday:

Got to the event early and hung out a bit, chatting and relaxed. It was a good start to the event and made possible by my work schedule, though there were drawbacks to it.

Game on: Looked for an old friend, and generally got the feel for the event again. Preached a bit at the bar, and by preached I mean bought some ales and teased somebody. Then my friend arrived and surprised her with a "Hello, my name is Brother Aldric." The look on her face was priceless. She had no idea I was playing KR. Then chatted about KR and gave her and her friends some pointers and introductions. Attended Gaian Mass in the Baronial Manor, I liked it and want to attend more. The blessings were more than worth it, several times over this weekend, plus I was regaled with song!

The Clergy talk after began a trend for the weekend. Also the ramifications of learning something about Caldor, (Dude you totally are.) More shenanigans ensued at the bar, then sleep.

Saturday:

First thing in the morning, Clergy Talk with special feedback from the populace. I mean special in the sense of the "Get your thumbs out of your posterior and DO something" variety. Thanks Duncan, et al,. Then more Clergy talk.

NPC Shift 10-2pm: The npcs this shift seemed especially ornery and possibly non-complaint with their medication. Particularly my partner in the whole "Clytie is the Sauce-eror and trying to drink her for her power while high on Satyr's Wine.", caper. Love you May. The Ogre, Goblin wake up crunchies were fun, maybe not to the guys in the tent next to the Bloody Stump (sorry). Generally pleasant day to go out and die for the game!

Then, the Red Wedding. Seriously creepy Jester there. Rowan freaking out about where Nalick was, kinda odd and left me running around looking for him as he just casually strolls up, "What are you guys doing?". Seeing Jed's altar... yeah I figured that would be my reaction.... Then hustling around to let people know a Light Mass was going to be in the Monastery. Overwhelmed by the turnout guys! Anyways, Clergy talk ensued afterwards. (Yes, you too Caldor). Hopefully Clergy talk continues and some actions arise out of it.

Feast! Great food and some great bard bard bard action. Welcome Trent to Travance! Plate being tossed in the middle of the silence for Calliope, not cool, nor funny. I saw who it was, much disappoint, but doubt it matters to the 'gentleman' involved.

Saturday evening: Main Mod was fun and the lowbies were great to be with. We all worked together and made that thing look easy. Whatever we were doing? Dipped into the caves at the tail end just to see how it got set up, then back to the Tavern beset by Nightblades. The rest of the night, shenanigans, and Drega'mod. I need more levels. Felt important regardless, and had fun!

Sleep!! Then packed and left. My drawback is I work Sunday Afternoons, so I missed the end of the weekend and the Diner afterwards. Had a great time and I thank Staff, Mr. Kimball, James C. and all of you who I RPed with through the weekend. See you at WITL, at the weekend portion at least.

Holy Crap. What an incredible event. First and foremost, after NPCing for two events, my brother Jack finally made his PC. It was great to be able to interact with his character after months of brainstorming and anticipation on both of our parts.
As much as the rain on Friday sucked, it ended working out to my advantage for the entire weekend. With the snow gone and no longer being confined to the roads, I'm able to effectively avoid danger at night simply be slinking through the woods. With the leaves being soaked, I was able to so completely silently for the majority of the event. Due to the epicness of saturday I can't remember much about friday night, other than getting a really good price on a replacement mithril sword.
Saturday morning I was up early, to the inn for breakfast. Hit up chronicler mod. Jorik did not have a whole lot to do there, but I was glad that he agreed to go. Got chaotically altered, went into a beserker rage when someone in the group tried to cast enfeeblement on him. Thankfully Sindarion was able to use a skill to keep me at bay and prevent me from attacking the rest of the group. With the exception of Goggins foolishly trying to waylay Jorik and in return getting cleaved for his trouble no one was hurt too badly. Sorry about the weapons I shattered. I'll pay for them I promise. Getting to the end of the mod was worth it for Jorik as he was rewarded with a +1 damage rune. Just what he needs haha.
After that Jorik went to the wedding. What a gloriously wonderful occasion. After a bottle of mead, and some cups of ale, Jorik was drunk during the ceremony but managed to hold it together. Then some kind of crazy singing magic caused shit to hit the fan and all hell to break loose. Further cementing in Jorik's mind that if the world was without magic, such things could not have happened. That entire Mod was one of the most amazing, terrifying and heartbreaking things I've ever witnessed at KR. Major props go out to Goose for orchestrating it, Romeo for playing the most disarmingly charming jester, and then turning it into a maniacal maniac. Great role play of grief and panic on the part of everyone else after the paralysis wore off.. I was absolutely blown away by the entire experience.
After that it was tower mod. However it was more difficult than I expected due to the fact I blew all of my Tag skills trying to kill everyone on the chronicler mod. Great experience. Thank God I was level headed enough to not use Rediziel on the demons. That would have been stupid.
Feast was delicious as always.
Main Mod was amazing. It was nice that we were split up according to experience. The battle in the glade was Glorious for Jorik. It was one of the first times that he truly was a destructive force to be reckoned with. Also great Beserker role play between him and Alander. After Getting trapped outside of the Glade by the magic barrier, Jorik used his ignore magic to leap through and reenter the glade to fight alongside those who were still trapped there.
Fight at the stump was amazing. Great times.
Sunday morning NPC shift. probably my favorite shift to be on. Had a great conversation with Bill Hannings about a possible direction to take Jorik in for the future. Had a blast getting to go out as a seriously strong Ogre. Figured since it was the last hurrah, I would really throw myself around. Actually bounced off a tree after getting shield bashed by Seamus. The cuts, scrapes, and bruises from throwing myself to the ground were totally worth it. Hope you guys enjoyed that.
All in all this was my favorite event to date. Can't wait until the WITL. I'll be able to go to the extended portion, but not the weekend, so I'll see you all there.

Before I get into the meat of the event, I have to say that this event saved KR for me. For reasons I won't get into the game had not been going well for me but Goose, James, David Reyes, Jason Marin, Ree, Sean, Dani, Connor, Judge, and a looooooot of other people saved the day for me. They made the event a blast and reminded me of how much fun I originally had at the game when I first started. It's good to be back.


Friday night:

Coming back to town after two months away, Ru hit up every Sorcerer she could find that night to examine her eyes. Then the relief Ru felt when she found out there was nothing bad clinging to them.
Sitting down with Keavy and talking about Elf/Druid stuff was awesome. Dani, I love RPing with your character. Beautiful Wild Wolf of the Forest indeed.
Ruindol was thoroughly put in her place after her budding new instincts got the better of her. Running head long into a goo-cube, being two minutes away from dying, and sequentially pissing off Cookie Tree.
Having cookie tree yell at her only drove the point home that she needs to learn where her place in the world is. Then going off to bed with her proverbial tail between her legs.

Saturday:

Getting up early and prepping myself for the big day! Finding Caldor and asking him how to approach his wife because Cookie Tree scares the crap out of Ru.
Approaching Cookie Tree, apologizing, once again being put in my place. It was not fun times for Ru but it was good character development that she sorely needed.
Finding the shiny shiny rock in the woods. Liking the shiny rock in the woods because it gave me extra magic.
Typhon telling Ru he'd finally be willing to hear her out was a huge relief to her in game.
Taking a walk with Tobar in the woods before getting ready for the wedding. It was nice to relax and have some alone time.
The Wedding. Oh. Gods. The Wedding. It was equal parts awesome and terrifying wrapped up in a blanket of crazy-win. Ruindol wants to kill that Drow in the face so hard and gut Julius. She cried so hard over Calliope and wants vengeance for her death! On a happier note...falling into Clytie with the flowers was funny. That was a total accident. I tripped over my own two feet and landed into a squishy Nyad. Jeds reaction was hilarious.
Jed giving Ru advice/warning about her marriage was also interesting. "Now you're going to have to work on this or I'm going to have to come in to split you up." Ru is watching you now.
She was touched by all the people who showed up and the gifts that people gave. Ru feels like she's becoming part of the town.
High-jinks with Morwenne, that shared look of vengeance they had when they both held up items that Julius dropped. Oh yes, there shall be a reckoning of fiery Elvin vengeance!
And oh Gods...all of the Gypsy hexes. Ru was nearly a vegetable. Maralas to the rescue! Ruindol has a new respect for Priests of Gaia. "Excuse me, can you remove curses?" "Yes." Me, smiling sheepishly while cringing at someones red shirt. Then holding up five fingers and pointing to myself.
I want to give a special shout out to Goose. You are an awesome story teller, I can't wait for June!

Hobbling over to Kaladonia after the wedding clean up and having my talk with Typhon. It was a bit of an emotional experience for Ru, even if she didn't show it. She felt like she was slowly making head way towards being trusted and accepted. Typhon gave her permission to learn the druidic tradition which was pretty awesome. Yay headway!
Sitting in Kaladonia and relaxing with everybody was a blast.
Chatting with Keavy and Tris.
Then Spider Mouth...ugh. I set a cup of tea on the ground next to me while talking to Tris. Lifted it up to take a sip without looking then abruptly spit it out. A spider was crawling across my tongue and teeth. All of Kaladonia going "Ewwwwww." at once was kind of priceless/awesome.
Everything after that up until main mod is kind of a blur for me, but was no less awesome.

Main Mod:

Joning Anhil's murder/kill squad was probably the best decision I made in character for multiple reasons.
The walk down was _hilarious_.
Jeds sultry far speaking stone hotline. "I want to lick your hiney hole," among other, grosser things had Arden and Ru dying in the back. Jade: "Omergerd booberz."
Sending out insults to the drow in the woods. Seamus: "What do you call a bunch of drow hanging from a tree?" Ru: "What?" Seamus: "A Sylendrian wind chime."
Getting into battle formation with Seamus, Grim, and Arden left no room for drow to get around us. We were the murder squad! Seamus was so good with his shield I didn't even have to call defenses and I didn't lose any armor/body.
All the rage when the Matron got away.
All the happy when I found three diamonds and a butt load of items on the way back.
Getting lost in the woods because it was so dark, having Illana find me and guide me back.
The fight down at the stump!
Passing out after the fight. Game over. I had zero energy left and slept all through Sunday game time.

All in all, I had a blast!
