July Event Highlights

What a great event. I've got no voice. I'm covered in bumps, bruises, blisters and bug bites, but it was all worth it.
-All the new players, both PC's and full time NPCS you guys are awesome. It felt so much more dangerous to walk around knowing that there were multiple hordes of bad guys wandering around the camp at any one time.
-Made it through my birthday event without losing a Life tag! Steve, I know you tried your hardest with that nasty spider for my birthday mod. Bet you didn't expect the entire town to show up and save my ass. Haha. All kidding aside, main mod was amazing. First time that it felt like we paid a very heavy price for our victory.
-Arresting both PC, and NPC criminals over the weekend. Crime was rampant this weekend and the guard had its hands busy. Thankfully we have truly gotten organized in the last few months. Congrats to Bill for making LT. Thanks to both Brendan and Leslie for the guard insignia and the rank brocades.
-Bounty hunting. I'm quite convinced I'm the only person still keeping an eye out for the deadly blades...
-Big shout out to my group at main mod: Angeliana, Lucien, Logan, Arkellian, and I forgot what your name was. We kicked butt, managed to stay together for nearly the whole thing to the spider came and ruined everything. I'd fight with you guys by my side any day.
-Thanks to both Jason and Drew for getting my card issues sorted out. You guys have a tough job, and you are always so helpful with everything.
-Feast was delicious. Thank you so much to the kitchen staff. You guys go above and beyond every single time.
-Wheezy the bard's violin playing at feast. Jorik had never heard anything like it in his life. He made told her that she is the only bard he will allow to cast a spell song on him... lol
-Had a great interaction with a PC that was placed into my custody. I don't remember your name but it was great role play as you tried to convince me to let you go. Looking forward to RPing with you in the future.

All in all it was a great event. Can't wait for the next one.

fought a kracken weekend made got big blue shiny rock thing yes that was perf

a+ jeff and katie

waaaaattEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR

-Logistics and tallying the number of new players trickling/pouring through the door. So many and quite a few unique ones! (Glowing hula hoop girl and fiddler must return for feast)

-Maja and Eralynn ;-; At least she got to say goodbye, that's all Ilana wanted. Maja creeping Ilana out a bit more.

-World jumping and Ilana knowing every place! (She will get to explore the world when she retires. It will be amazing)

-Just kind of staring at Klarington's wife the whole time.

-Svraki are awesome o.o

-Green headband first time ever. Thank you to everyone being really nice about helping me out. Big thank you to Cameron letting me borrow his cane. (Granny windwalker from a pair of Ogres)

-Rift mod. Smith Minecraft.

-Goggins' checkup. It was for his health. Daniel being a very helpful assistant.

-Um, look, that spider just really liked Ilana. Anyone who says it came out of her is crazy, I swear (Ilana really wants to lie about it, but she's still being good)

(Also, the spider outfit was really well done. Staring into Damien's spider face was terribly bright and great all at once. I just wish he didn't want to kill me so badly.)

-Fighting back to back briefly with Bellock. It was a very amusing few seconds.

-That healer meeting. Then making a nest of books to nap on at the scholars table.

-I went to bed before the sun came up!

-Father Lazarus' visit Sunday morning. Daniel was busy on the dock with the Kraken so Ilana asked Annora to grab him at his next retreat and then Ilana grabbed Typhon to panic with instead at the mage's guild.

-Non-KR friends interpretation of my current situation: " So... you're Naruto?" "...Maybe?"

Ilana is quite confused and maybe a bit upset, but Marcella is intrigued. We're both ready to beat up a demon though

Weezy playing at the end of Feast. A really brilliant ending to a notably delicious meal.

The Danny McKraegar school of Surgery: "Out of anaesthetic? Stab them in the heart!"

I feel like my card has become a popular holiday destination for Minor Insanities.

A great many new faces!

Brendan and Leslie's big bags of swag

Trent's Lyric of Inspiration on Saturday night. Forging has never been so much fun! I'm pretty sure you had most of the porch cracking up by the end of your song - very nicely done, sir.

Gifting someone a Clockwork Shadow Manipulator, then - over the course of Saturday - having no less than three separate NPC merchants attempt to sell the exact same device back to me. Just... what.

A surprisingly large amount of requests for clockwork body parts.

Acquiring a time-locked golem. YES. 100% worth the Monty Python impression I pulled in order to drag it back to logistics.

Interacting with Conor's excellently evil fellow at the Inverted Tower (no, I'm not talking about Merikh)

Finally telling Cecilia the truth about her project.

Watching the Kraken battle from outside the Mages' Guild. From a distance, it looked really quite impressive - I bet it was even more amazing to have been down there trying to dodge its noodly appendages.

"As chance would have it, I'm pretty sure I saw a star fall out of the sky last night..." Sending people on treasure hunts is quickly becoming one of my favourite things to do over a KR weekend.

Having to battle a greater undead... and winning. Who says Scholar isn't a combat class? Behold the power of the scientific method!

Having to battle Wulfgar. Perhaps Scholar isn't a combat class after all.

I was thankfully cured of my lycanthropy on Saturday night, but not before having a lot of fun trying (and failing) to subtly play a werewolf without anyone noticing.

NPC shift is always a highlight. There's something profoundly satisfying about making a 40 body lesser skeleton look like a Mod Boss. Rar!

Great Event!

Friday - Portal hopping to try to find Klarington and seeing the sights as we were misdirected initially. Then trying to assist with giving Maja enough power to avoid any further misdirection.
Meeting the Vzyraki and making alot of comparisons between his magic and old draconic power.

Saturday - Playing George and juggling, then being offered gold by Jack who didn't have any on hand so I just followed him and Ava around until he paid me.
Helping with Heroic Psion mod.
Seeing Corsair as he recognized me and I only had suspicions of who he was.
Fighting Drew on main mod. Tim and I were the first to spot him and we unloaded all our offensive skills into him only to have him use Tyros as a human shield for 4 consecutive slays.
Crazy spider demon.
Watching Philidin find Bloodtide and confirm it was the blade we were looking for all in one shot.
Watching the ritual to fix time in the middle of the inn.

Sunday - Kraken mod
Assisting with an experimental ritual

Where to even begin...

I was in a foul mood arriving on camp. 2+ hours in traffic for what should have been a 1 hour drive, not to mention a few select people on the road that should be subjected to things unmentionable, made things look grim by the time I got there. A chance encounter at QuickCheck with Dave and Becky cheered me up a bit, and the rest evaporated as soon as my feet hit the soil of Camp Sacajawea.

The scene in Klarington's home was amazing. There was a ton of worry that too many people would cause and issue and ruin the mission, but I was very happy with how it worked out. Kudos to all the NPCs involved.

"Corsair, Corsair, Corsair!" Every time I heard it, I kept thinking to myself "This is not a good idea." How right I would be...

The RP that resulted from the sacrifice of Gideon's magic. Geoff has no regrets. Gideon ... we'll see. The outpouring of support from the IG community was stellar. Ardin and Gideon now have yet another tale of shared woe...

Sitting in on multiple meetings with the Count. Hearing the creepy Everest Family Music (tm) in the background gave me chills, even when it was 85 and humid out.

Undead in the daytime. At least I got to vent some frustration on them when they showed up!

Main Mod. Repeated "Geoff, what the hell are you doing here?" comments as I got in to NPC. Playing a Time Stop Golem, one of the classic beings from KR's OOG history. Getting to watch Main Mod as I stood on a wood pile to mark it out for safety reasons. Watching Grimkjel run past me back into the Reliquary, and saying "Well, break's over" in my head and pursuing him through the maze, T-800 style...

Jen Eff & the Agauarans post Main Mod. Jen pushed my IG buttons enough that Gideon snapped and nearly took her head off in the middle of the bar. I knew it was going to be a challenge when she screwed up her face in the The Look Of Defiance at me, and I was right.

Hurgar, Angus, and Edgar. True to Pendarvin, they say what they mean, and don't coat, mince, or pad any words.

There is more, I am sure, but my brain is fried and still recovering. See you all in three weeks!
