July Event Highlights

I have very few highlights as events after feast really took a lot of the magic away.

Ekat: Bat, I need 4 prisoners to peel potatoes
Bat Cooper: Alright I'm on it
Barak Tellinghast: I approve of this

The four NPCs actually RPed talking about what they were in jail for.

(Later)
Bat Cooper: How are the prisoners working out
Ekat: Very good
(Bat Leaves and Ekat does a head count and finds three)
Ekat: Wait... Didn't I have four of you?

Thank you Tiffany and Crew. You guys were fantastic.

Brother Aldric wrote: The Feast was great, and those words fail to convey how grateful I am to the kitchen staff who regularly wake early and cook late to ensure we are fed and happy. I would like to emphasize that we not only are required to treat people in general with respect, but in particular those people that do so much for us and give up their own time and energy to provide kitchen services to us. Lets play nice folks.

In no particular order:

Jack's arrival back in town. AHHH I was so unsure about Ava was going to respond. I knew it was going to be either from like fall to her knees happy or berate him angrily. I'm glad it was just "push everyone out of the way and hug him too tightly and for an awkwardly long period of time." Then fully needing direction and permission for everything for a while was fun. Hopefully it wasn't too awkward for the people in the monastery when she kept asking Jack if she could eat or drink.

The continuation of "Emotions: The story of Ava and Angeliana" continues. I always like our talks. Ava is really surprised that Angeliana hasn't given up although it fills her with such weird feelings when Angeliana expresses her caring for her.

Another event of "You really ARE Orias 2.0" Which is funny because Ava shares only a fraction of her mannerisms with him, but alas, this is the life of Ava: Chaos warrior.

And Ava adds to her chaos warrior students. Ava likes being able to help mold the mind of those who wish to learn about Chaos. Also teaching a lot of other random stuff. (In particular teaching She break limb which goes something like this:

Ava: -explains about how the arm can move in certain ways to make it easier to break-
-Ava looks at she, then laughs slightly-
Ava: Though between you and me, I'm more for the 'hit their bones really hard with the flat of your blade so they shatter' method.

Arza's courage lesson. Ava knew just where to strike fear to trigger a courageous response. I promise not to destroy Rostavella too bad

As an NPC, playing drunks. That was hilarious and I was horribly irritating and my favorite parts were getting Goggins to make his wrench speak, as well as "gems" and the following:

Nick's Drunk NPC : -Says something drunkenly to Torq-
Torq: Sorry I don't swing that way
My Drunk NPC: -Slaps Nick on the back and with a tone of realization- I DIDN'T KNOW YOU LIKE SWINGS

Did a lot more fighting then I normally do, especially against undead. If you don't know, Ava doesn't like fighting undead because she's mostly delegated to hit it in the face a million times until it falls down. Which, honestly doesn't bother her, but she really likes messing with minds so it's not really helpful if it doesn't work.

Orophin and Ava funtimes

Deep Rift mod...which was retrieve the stone AND heroic Psion mod. Let's just say Ava quickly became part of "Team kill Psion" against her will. We were successful though so that was good, even if I did spend most of that mod dominated.

To the sunday morning malycite NPCS, Ava just wanted to talk to you guys about chaos, but you all had to ruin it by being angry and attacking

-Ava approaches Imrahil and a Malycite-
Ava: Is this the malycite?
Npc confirms
Ava: -Says something about Imrahil being a guardsmember-
NPC: So he is part of the guard?
Ava: Yeah
NPC starts attacking
Ava: I JUST WANTED TO TALK ABOUT BEING A CHAOS WARRIOR WITH YOU. WHY DID YOU NEED TO RUIN IT!?!?!

Expertly disarming the priestess later so she could be taken in without much of a fight. Also yelling at her about the same thing.My favorite reaction was someone who was like "Cool" when I did it.

Being harassed by Edgar of Pendarvin and that crew. Also, just another day in the life of "Ava: The chaos warrior who is sometimes seen with "sketchy" people so people assume, though she's been dealing with it since she learned from Orias" Highly irritating to Ava but amusing to me OOG. Let's just be glad Ava knows how and when to make good life choices.

Also, I know I don't always throw a shoutout to the kitchen staff for feast, but I always appreciate the time it takes you and the things you do to keep feast happening! I don't think I could ever be able to do what you guys do with cooking for everyone and I'm always grateful for the food you prepare for us because it's delicious

I will post more later but... this event is my new favorite event ever. OOG awesome stuff including main mod and IG awesome stuff for my characters!

But really quick... welcome to all of the new players! Seriously, you guys rocked it!

I forgot to add I had a great sparring session with Chris Zipeto. That was in all honesty the best and most back and forth spar I've ever had and we need to do it more often! Also....teach me how to fight like that....

And yeaaa.... A lot of things can happen in a few hours.

Interesting weekend…. And I can honestly say I am happy there were FEW medical things and nearly NONE during main mod. Awesome stuff… and thank you to all for being careful.

General stuff…
200 players? No really…. 200 hundred players? No way….
*counts*
Holy crap…

For the record- I hate humidity with heat.

Feast- what I ate was tasty. *applauds*

AAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLL the new Players- both PC and dedicated NPCs. You guys were great.


Friday…

Patrols, patrols patrols…. Kit and Imrahil, you two rocked as patrol companions. Of course, this led to…
Monastery Attack- for the love of the Land, you people were rough. Not everyday you fight against a Dragoon Cultist.
Comments about my using a bow… Yes, I do use one. Lemme show you…. *shoots*
Gaian Mass… Interesting subject that the visiting Valosian seemed to try to make about Valosian Ideals. Departed afterward due to All About Mass benies and sour taste in mouth over Valosian dogma at a Gaian Mass.
Some fights in the dark afterward. Fun stuff… but crashed out at about 0230 for rest.


Saturday…

Morning Volunteer NPC mod… and it was a good time for me too.
During Day…. More shenanigans with Kitt. Fighting Bandits and undead and showing exactly why I am use a bow.
Blacktree- I wish to state for the Record that you have a lovely small target.
Imrahil- I look forward to teaching you the path of Ranger.

Tower Mod: FINALLY GOING ON ONE and GETTING TO FINISH IT! Irony to this is that I am now no longer allowed to go on it due to new level restrictions.
-Shade, Duncan and Kitt with archer shenanigans, with Shade & Duncan forcing the Bad Guy to run like a scared Rabbit from us.
- NPC Monster dropping Kitt. “You leave that Elf alone! I’m rather fond of her” and thumping monster. Picking up Kitt for real and bringing to the healer before heading back in was awesome scene the player thanked me for later.
-Bow-swapping shenanigans with Shade when the level specific magic effect hit. Poor Conor having to continue to run from us as a result….

Prefeast…
Fighting monsters and again demonstrating outstanding placement. At last three NPC’s were like “Get Him!”
Psuedo Target Practice with Aella…. Where we were each others targets. Good times!

MAIN MOD
Npc Duty and the pep talk to my fellow NPCS. “What are you playing? This is how we should do this…” and the resulting carnage during mod by us mooks while the Spider housed people. That spider…. Holy shit. It was on our side and scared me.
Leslie- I wanna say I am sorry about that. You were opportunity and I did not know Wulfgar was trying to kill you…

I want to give props to both PC’s and NPC’s; you guys were awesomely safe and cognizant of where you were as you fought. Well Done!!

Post Main Mod, I was sooooooooooooo tired I actually crashed out before 2am. However it was not before Hearing about Gideon and Ardin’s sacrifices (I was stunned… and yet, strangely not surprised) and a wonderful conversation with Lady Silverbow. Always a great chat.


Sunday-

Up in the morning early and down to the Inn for breakfast. Wonderful chats with various folks and a question from Maralas about me and religion. An interesting trade/compromise from this talk…
A discussion with Gideon on what had happened…. And learning he was still a Priest of Brazen. The talk about that Diety and the tenets of the faith solidified a decision- especially when the subject of teaching being crafting came up.

Off to Kaladonia for master warrior training… which got delayed by a Kracken.
Taught two people and a sparring match with Sergi… This was a blast and Would Spar Again when I am far fresher.
Interrupting Grimjell’s training of Aella even more fun- I’ll let him mention it.
Right afterward came Master Warrior training… Exhaustion is a thing but I wasn’t about to let it slow me down. Three Opponents, three different weapon styles to face. The hilarity of two Celts fighting highlands style in the last battle was awesome. The insults that flew… could make a barbarian blush.

This carried us into End Of Game and the end of another KR weekend.

Overall, the weekend was great nad falls into LARPED, Will LARP Again.

Jen and Laura for the makeup work for me for main mod.

Everyone else, thank you guys for the fight you gave me. I had a blast, and I hope you guys did too.

Special thanks to Logan and crew for NPCing for me during 2-6 and staying in the area under the barn for over an hour. Every time we got PC's to you guys the conversations you were having as your NPCs were flat out amazing and really lent credibility to the fact of where the PC's where. For the PC's who know what this was about you guys did awesome and I hope you all enjoyed it.

I'm to tired to brain more words, so again just thank you everyone for coming out and enjoying the weekend with us.
