So once again another weekend has come and gone. I for one couldn't be happier with how things worked out. This weekend was full of great adventures and meh weather.
Friday: I guess the first thing to go into was Caldor's Mass. It was lovely, absolutely amazing and I loved every second of it. (Yes even the part where I sat on my jewels....) It was a great service, and Moo was a great addition.
Next was the Bloody Stump. It was a pretty cool experience hanging out and jabber jawing until a certain someone got upity. Luckily Jack was there and didn't let that someone beat on a defenseless woman. (Even though the honor combat that ensued ended with an even harder shot to the nards than the one previously mentioned)
Saturday: This was a bittersweet day for me all in all. The heat was horrible, but the rain was even worse...
Jack went through a lot of emotional turmoil from what was going on in order to make Blood Tide. I don't think I've ever portrayed such rage and disgust ever in KR so it was a nice turn away from being silly.
Helping the Guildmistress out with a very rude Bedouin. He saw a lot of himself in the man and decided to step in before things got out of control. Also dealing with Jack Dimms JR. was great. He won't be taking trophies any time soon.
Main mod was okay for me. The rain made it suck a bit though, and the yelling and chanting I did ruined my voice.
After Main Mod, I got to go out as a band of pirates. Dread Pirate June was awesome and so was whoever stole our chest. Great use of slight of hand.
Talking to Lois Maxwell on the issue of intimacy... There have been many moments that I've come close to crying from laughter. This is one of them.
Sunday: This is where the meat of my event was. First we had a confessional with Caldor, our thoughts being put on display on this whole Blood Tide thing. It was a great little moment, even though I couldn't speak.
Finding out about a good friend being a Necromancer... Oh wow, just wow.... Jack felt really betrayed to a major degree, but in the end, moving past the anger, it seems things have a way of working out for themselves.
I have to say, Jack receiving Blood Tide was astounding, and to be honest when I stepped up I thought I was gonna get shut down and told no like most times. This was different though, very special, Jack was granted the "honor" of bearing this great evil weapon. Followed by long talk after long talk. It's funny that less than a year ago Jack was the most hated man in Travance. Now he is the keeper of this great evil.
This was awesome for me guys, I really needed a getaway from average life, KR is so great and I have to thank Rudy, Alicia, Mary Beth, Leslie, John, Dave, Ben, and Ertle for everything they did for me. I love all yalls. Peace!

Friday: I missed Caldor's mass as usual due to the requirements of my IG duties. Someday, brother. Someday. I love that it's our IG joke now.
Friday night was mostly a blur to me, honestly.
Saturday morning traitor hunt was a lot of fun. Saturday afternoon planning meetings with the nobles, finally getting briefed by goggins on Ragnarok, organizing things regarding that, and finding Tobias in town were my highlights.
Organizing the inverted tower was great, even if I didnt' go on it.
War planning with the war council was great.
Conscription for the Travance militia was also great fun, this is going to be a new and hopefully fun thing for the non-vassaled PCs, I hope they enjoy it.
Main mod in the rain was crazy interesting, and one of the no death victories we've had.
Roleplaying with Carlotta generally was amazing.
Goggins is my favorite annoyance! He takes forever to tell grim ANYTHING. They're a lot of fun.
Wonderful roleplay with Father Labell. Wonderful roleplay with bran about confession. Wonderful church of light stuff generally.
The jar between the evil acts the town must commit, grim and the other northmen's personal morality, and the strange alliance of the barbarians and the Londwyns was impressive.
I got a real chance to roleplay with Phillidin for the first time, and I was very happy with it. Tim's pretty awesome guys, Rp with him for realsies.
Carlos' readings are always a highlight. I approve of them so does Grim.
Gene ran a fantastic plot, and my two tense roleplay scenes with Billiam were also amazing. I adore the tension they always have with one another, as Billiam pushes, or Grim pushes, and Billiam -always- walks away triumphant. I love it, I really do. Billiam with minimal exposure to grim has completely captured the essence of both his strength and his flaws in one sentence.
Brief moments of roleplay with Ginginny were great.
I loved sunday NPC shift. Fire Giants then mercenaries, spent most of our time getting killed or being dead. Working with tim and Katie and Matt D was a really good time.
Talks with magnus, talks with Oren, talks with the rest of the guard, all great. We're a fun band of brothers.
Finding the body of the blue heart was wonderful, as was burying him with poor little Rowan, and having a painful encounter with the Castellan.
Feast was very good! Sitting with Gideon was a real pleasure, along with burk and Tobias.
Oh now I remember friday, I got a chance to off the malycite thingy twice, it was crazy fun to fight. Thanks for the fun NPC brawl, tim and gannon!
Roleplaying with Rudy was great.
Brief interactions with Kitt were fun.
So many new guards! I'm gonna have to start getting a new list of names on the board! I'm so proud of you all.

First time PC, probably going to be lengthy, probably going to have tons of spelling mistakes on names and places. Apologies in advance!
Friday: Going out on new player mod was super fun. Helping Trent get to town safely was fun. Didn't feel like I did too much though as a newbie healer at first. Once back at the inn, got some coin for our troubles. Sat at the bar with my sister Tessa and had some drinks. Met Quan Liu as he tended bar. A fight breaks out behind me and Tessa pushes me out of the way. Ended up healing/meeting Auggie (I don't remember your full name so sorry!). He bought me a drink in thanks. As we went to leave, tipped Quan Liu a gem and a gold. Apparently that gem earned me a drink later in the night. Grouped up with a few people to go investigate some gargoyles. One almost killed me, but someone was kind enough to intercept it. Role play point? Awesome! Got to sit down a little later and had some of Quan Liu's brew with him. By the time I left the inn, I stumbled to camp with my sister to sleep it off. Stupid wolf spider in our tent with its glinty eyes. Thanks for the help with that Lori!
Saturday morning/afternoon: Got woken up to a fight outside in Kaladonia. By the time cloths were thrown on everything was said and done. Went to the inn for some drinks. Decided to walk down to see the lake. Met a very nice gypsy (We talked and ran into each other a lot of the weekend and i still forgot your name, i'm sorry) and a fellow named Byron (sp?). While we were looking at all the pretty seashells the gypsy fished out of the lake, got to meet Alune. It was very funny watching him fall out of a canoe. Decided to jump in the lake with everyone else. Auggie showed up again and a good time was had swimming and chatting. Biggest cannonball contest! Screams were heard coming from the mages guild. Props to all those that jumped out of the lake wearing only shorts or under wear and took off running up the till branding their weapons. By the time I got up there I found a fellow with a missing arm. WOOO! First time regenerating a limb
After the limb was fully back and I inquired about any other injuries. We decided to go along with Auggie and some others on their patrol a bit. Found a couple people on the roof in Kaladonia with a goblin and two more goblins on the ground below. Goblins dispatched. Another limb regenerated.
NPC shift: Three competing merchants selling goods. Mine were best of course.
Got sent out as a greater undead to totem pole hill. Within a few minutes dead. Respawn. Few minutes in, I get my leg hacked off. That's cool. Then the other leg. Psh, whatever I can still army crawl. Then the left arm hacked off. Well. Shoulder/hip shimmy. Then I was made to fight my own kind. Shoulder/hip shimmy all over the place!
Third and final time sent out had to go track down Jed to learn about, ahem, things. Very imposing. We had the power all along!
Feast: Awesome as always. Wait, what was that I just felt? Meh.
Main mod: Was told I was fighting for Ostcliff. Cool beans. Tessa runs back to camp for a cloak. "Don't wake the ogre!" I say. "Wait, what?" says nearby person. "Don't worry about it, it's fine." I say. Met Ser Pluvius (sp?) Wait wait wait...front line healer? Me? Ser Pluvius took me aside and told me that he knew I was having doubts about myself and that I would be fine. Really gave my character the courage she needed for the upcoming battle. Rain, thunder, lighting...awful and awesome all at the same time. Really added that extra feel for the fight. Never got hit, never went down. Think I held up my portion of the line fairly well. Never got breached! Poor triage.
Saturday night: Woooo! Fresh from the fight, let's drink! Got to meet Goggins. Such a nice fellow. Even when accidentally insulting a gypsy haha. Couldn't sleep so I hung around the inn and witnessed those shadowing things i heard so much about. Goggins and a couple others let me join them so I safely got back to camp.
Sunday morning: Attacked by giant...rat...things the moment i left the tent. Ran like hell to Pendarvin for aide. Time for breakfast. Was delicious btw! Walked around again with Auggie, Tessa and Brax (sp?). Met up with Alune along the way. Impromptu first aide lesson. OMG WHY ARE YOU WILLINGLY LETTING HIM CHOP OFF YOUR ARM?!
Went out of game for a bit to pack up/clean and take some pictures.
Back in game, very ominous seeing all those vultures take wing overhead as Jack gets Blood Tide.
All in all it was a spectacular weekend. Sorry it's so long, everything was amazing since it was my first PC!

I truly thank you all for coming our to September knightrealms. I hope everyone had a blast. PLEASE FILL OUT EVENT RECAP FORMS. This tells us what you did or didn't like to help make a better gaming experience for everyone.
I have to thank the tremendous amount of time and work that Kirsten and Steve put into this event. Kirsten made you those lovely hearts you pulled out of the victims, she helped coordinate mods and run them for me to help lighten the load. Steve was intrinsic giving up the precious time he wanted to pc. Helping give life to horuss and erik. He helped with making the mods challenging using the rules and made my life easier when i was overwhelmed with real life.
I would like to thank also all the marshals who stepped up and understood my needs for mods and npcs.
I would like to also thank all the npcs who helped make the mods go smoothly and got soaked through main mod
Lastly I want to thank Nick, Kevin, Taylor, Sean, Matt C., Leslie and the others for there ability in helping bring my story alive with the face NPC roles they played.

Two things I forgot to add.
Arguments and trying to get on Sister Danae's good side. Always fun to be on your half good side and bad side.
Geoff, your readings as Mr. Magellan are spooky... Keep doing what you're doing.

well, another game has gone by. I think this was the "Let's mess with Donald's head" type game.
-the "Be Good!" Tetsubo. using it on greenskins. "DINNAE MAKE ME HAVE TO MODIFY YOUR BEHAVIOR!" There are some reasons that Celts should not be literate.
-Conversations with Gideon on his sacrifice. Respect there, and a loyalty earned.
-the whole turmoil over Bloodtide was definitely a test of faith and loyalty for my PC. He's not terribly powerful, so he was more or less along for the ride. Lets just say that he has a perspective on it few would think of.
-Inverted Tower. powerful and smart undead+Celt Soul Warden+two rescues=one very confused and mixed up Celt.
-Conversation with Lucien before feast. More mental calisthenics.
-Feast was awesome. Enough said.
-Main Mod. Awesome, but I have to get out a rag, some WD-40 and some steel wool for my armor now. Worth it.
-Bloodtide going to Mister Dimms. and me volunteering to teach Shafted Mastery to Jack next game. Why do I have the feeling that between the necromancer fight and this, that I am going to be forced into some form of limelight as Donald?
-Drinking with Torque. Enough said.
-New Hobby: trading gems (when I have them) with the dragoons.
-Muddy situation with the guard. suggested a compromise. seemed to work.
that's all I have. Until next time: wear your seatbelt, don't run with scissors, and drink water.

HERE GOES!
So I can remember one moment when I thought to myself "Okay, I can sit down and relax for a bit." only to realize after a few minutes I was super late to a meeting Aleister told me I needed to be on.
Friday:
So I can remember one moment when I thought to myself "Okay, I can sit down and relax for a bit." only to realize after a few minutes I was super late to a meeting Aleister told me I needed to be on.
Friday:
- Eyeing up the dwarf Gene was playing (whos name I probably got, but have already forgotten) and the "walking stick" he was carrying. Walking around a bit, wondering when Horuss was coming, asking it aloud only to have people point inside in the Inn.
- Getting hit three times in the ear, thanks Steve. Him hitting me with further tag skills, and blanking on what I had on my card. Getting hit with Desperate Isolation and thinking... you know, it's probably for the best I take this. THE BROODING BEGINS!
- Planning and waiting patently with Illana to begin righting the wrongs, only to be opposed by everyone.
- Realizing before anyone (probably) what was supposed to happen, and telling everyone I was having no part of it and storming off.
- People finally realizing how hopeless fighting the wraith is, and actually seeing it on a lot of faces. Having a few people start asking the right questions. Glad to see that finally advancing.
- Moving right into the dwarf, getting a certain skill called on me by Orion and shooting back the quickest "yup" of my life. Also Cory stealing the npc weapons, that's one way to win a mod ,
- Glorious sleep in a cool(ish) room.
- The entirety of Saturday morning/afternoon was more or less spent by myself trying to find / convince others of alternate methods. I think I finally caved at around 5 pm, and the brooding went into overgear.
- Giving Jenn/Evee her sword (Eff yeah Etherium).
- Having spent the entire event trying to find Dr Maxwell, I finally did at the last possible second, and then I shot light from my mouth. Perfectly normal sciencey stuff.
- Walking outside to find everyone already there, running off to get a robe to use my skill, realizing I wouldn't have time, and having Magnus lend me his. BROODING LEVELS TO MAXIMUM.
- The rain, the mood and the nerves at main mod. I didn't tell anyone, but my heart was pounding literally in my chest as I stood in the field waiting for Horuss.
- Having destroy evil reflected to me... my eyes lighting up as I fell to the ground wondering if anyone saw / knew the significance.
- We are the embodiment of House Alabaster.
- My Sunday morning
Monster MarshalLogistics Marshal shift. I'm glad at least I could help a lot of people understand the rules for sockets/runes/binding. - Seeing Ava escorting the priest of Malyc to logistics, being oog sad, and realizing the impact it will have on Orophin's sanity (or lack thereof).

wow what an event, seriously all the emotions. In no particular order.
Aiden returning to Travance and actually being attentive and figuring some things out
All the chaos Friday of being guildmaster and learning what it is when 800 people need you at once, really difficult. I have a new respect for the nobles.
Low light missing Labelle I wanted to see him so badly.
Late night talks with oscliff and Morwenne about being in charge of the mages guild.
Being leader of the mages guild, having everyone stare at me and feeling like IM responsible for so many and really hoping I don't screw it up.
Going on a mod, morwenne wasn't there for due to a clerical area. Not only having to step up as a white sorcerer but having to take the sin of taking the life and heart of a white sorcerer.
Ensuing fight with morwenne upon returning making her feel worse only to find out on of taris closest friends was giving her life so we could get a heart.
Being desperate to save danny because he once did it for me.
All of the pesmerga cult. So amazing but so painful at one point I was sobbing begging aleister to let them die. They just brought on so many emotions, not only was tari pushed to her edge she just lost all perspective and realized how alone she is.
Getting in between danny and Billliamm and getting hit by billliamm and all the emotions from that.
Realizing just how afraid Tari is to come to next event

Being desperate to save danny because he once did it for me.
All of the pesmerga cult. So amazing but so painful at one point I was sobbing begging aleister to let them die. They just brought on so many emotions, not only was tari pushed to her edge she just lost all perspective and realized how alone she is.
Getting in between danny and Billliamm and getting hit by billliamm and all the emotions from that.
Realizing just how afraid Tari is to come to next event

This is such a weird event for me, that these highlights may be a bit jumbled. I'm not hitting everything up, but just major stuff.
FLAT OUT my favorite part of this event had nothing to do with the plot. Caldor spent much time talking with all the Druidic Elders present (4 PCs and 1 NPC) about what it meant to be an elder, and how one becomes one. Each gave a very unique and well thought out perspective. Excellent RP from all of them.
Friday night midnight mass - I thought it wasn't going to happen, then suddenly everyone showed up. It was really great to give the mass, and to have so many people speak at it. Conviction was a topic I picked for this mass right after last month's event. I couldn't possibly imagine how relevant it was going to be for this plot. Highlight of the mass was of course using Animal Emptathy to allow Moon (Melody) to speak at the mass (with me translating).
After mass battles with with the thing in the monastery. Ended up trapped inside and having excellent theological discussions.
Had my visions for the heart quests, and thus began Caldor's objections to the weapon issues.
Saturday I went with the Lycanthrope hunting group, but still opposed the heart harvesting. It was there I discovered many people did not know what we were doing or why.
I spent a lot of time saturday tryying to come up with other plans to avoid the ritual. Objecting loudly and regularly to how evil the town was becoming.
Labelle!!! Love that guy. Glad to see him. Proposed a position of the church .. and it took.
After having narrowly avoided having to speak in the nobles meeting twice, I got sent in as the Church's representative. Vocally expressed my objections and gave a potentially guilt inducing benediction.
continued trying to find alternate options until the last minute. Made my objections and concerns known to the Count.
Caldor was getting VERY sick of hearing people say its the "only option" or that great evil is ok because other options "aren't quick enough". He lost a lot of respect for some people, but strangely, gaind some for people he would not have expected.
Went to the main mod battle to heal and protect. Had a GREAT time making my buff specialty really usefull. Our line was solid, and they kept trying to break it with Tsunami, Flesh to stone and other abilities that I was layering on our people. Even with rites of storing, a potion and a mana fruit, this took all my power. Fortunatley, just as I was really running out, the battle switched.
Going face to face with Horace while he was still our ally was seriously intence. I knew he could drop me in a second OOG, but Caldor was NOT taking being told not to heal people or to let people die. Steve really pushed out some strong RP from me in what could have been a pure battle scene, and I thank him for it.
Trying not to interfere with the ritual when Keavey was screaming was nearly impossible.
Immediately trying to heal Keavey, then bury her in a concecrated grave, then having her spirit with me for the battle was both tough and inspiring to Caldor. I think I used the battle cry KEAVY is with us and Do it for Keavy at least 3 times.
Having Keavey return to life as we walked back to the inn was amazing.
Post main mod events were odd. Spent a lot of time dealing with townsfolk who were furious that they did not really understand what had been done.
Caldor became very upset that it appeared that the weapon was still in town, despite the assurances that it would removed immediately.
Stayed up late night to deal with a necromancer/writ issue, only to find out IG that someone was a necromancer who I had known OOG for a while. I expected it would hit him in a certain way, but given the events of the month it came out entirely differently.
sleeping alone in a tent is kinda creepy. Waking up to 6 chipmunks eating your spackets is even more so.
Doing an "attonement" mass on Sunday was amazing. Great RP from everyone who asked for it and/or came. Rudy... what you asked for and what you agreed to was amazing. Mad props to you my good man.
Caldor was not thrilled to see wife and Brother having issues, but he was terrified when wife and Kleiden got into a screaming match. I half expected them to pull out bows and play a "Archer v. Archer" game for reals...
Oh, and on the purely silly note, I got to participate in (and loose) my first ever game of Professional Pattycake.
I'm sure there are tons of things I'm forgetting, good and bad, but this is whate came to mind.

Lets see if I can remember everything;
To all the people who were there for my OOG issues, thanks for being so supportive. Whether I cried on you, or you distracted me and took me to Quick Check, or made me feel better, or made me feel better when we found out what was actually happening, thank you. The fact that so many people were willing to come together and support me on this was wonderful to experience, as well as the way James immediately started looking into it. This is why I like it here.
Overall, I had a good game. Thanks!
- Morgan and Sanura being bored as hell in the stump because everyone was caught up with stuff up near the inn.
- Morgan reaaaally wanted to leave by the time her shift ended, mostly because of tensions rising at the bar and, as there were less people, it affected everyone.
- Getting back at the Stump a couple hours later in time to get caught in fighting a large group of undead. Happily, there was both a healer and a witch hunter there, so Morgan mostly got to stick to healing
- Morgan and Ariya staying up all night having girl talk, ending on the stairs in the inn
- Getting a backrub while people discussed what kind of desert I was was entertaining on so many levels. [/li]
- Going over to Jed's with Ariya and meeting up with Swift, and helping Swift clean up and light candles
- Staying after Swift and Ariya left and taking a nap in Jed's rocking chair
- Sitting in during a debate Swift and Jed were having and putting in her two cents till Swift hit a sore spot for Morgan.
- Later, going out with Alisandria to get the heart of the Druidess
- Going through the focus to talk find out Ginyuki(?) wasn't coming through the focus because he needed a break and then coming back to Verrill and Séamus to tell them such, also Morgan being a little done with Verrill not respecting the fact that there were some places where his opinion wasn't the one that mattered.
- Wandering back to the Monastery with Séamus and getting to actually talk to Bran, as she'd only really got to meet him in passing
- Watching Bran and Duncan fight while being annoyed at Séamus for setting his bound item down...on her lap.
- Going to spend time in Ostcliff till the fighting began, getting asked to the Winterdark Ball on the way
- Getting annoyed when she was assigned to triage as one of two healers, and having triage moved to right next to the forge that was filled with that much pain. Getting annoyed when all but about 2 or 3 of the people ment to protect the triage went running off to fight.
- First ever torture! It was the best! From the oog reactions to Morgan coming into the clearing to the actual rp to the oog reactions after, it was totally awesome! Thanks Bill, Chuck, Dominic, and May!
- Spending much of Sunday being tied to other people, which was fun.
- ALL OF THE RANDOM BACKRUBS!

A big highlight this weekend was getting into conversations about how "this sword is evil but necessary" or "we have to go cut out some still-beating hearts but it's nbd" and then laughing and telling those present all about Ragnarok. You could literally see the moral gears grinding in people's heads. Awesome.
Heading to Honour's Peak on Friday night. Some really descriptive storytelling from Tim turned what could have been a cut-and-dry mod into a really interesting and imaginative experience. I had a really great time (even despite getting eaten by a fire tornado thing.)
Briefly talking to Norm as Arden on the way back from said mod. Although we have few reasons to ever have our characters interact, it's incredibly rewarding when they do - the thinly-veiled insults and condescension never fail to make me, as a player, smile (even though Goggins has rather different feelings about them!)
Getting to be a "volunteer" in Morgan's Waylay lesson. I don't think her teacher meant for her to end up giving me a back rub, but hey - it was delivered from behind, and between the shoulders, so don't mind me while I pass out on this table...
Finally getting answers to a four-month research project. Extremely rewarding!
Forging Bloodtide. Damn thing kept trying to kill us. A very intense scene - made all the more epic by the thunderstorm going outside, the huge battle happening around us, and the hornet's nest that was casually hanging out on the roof of the forge.
Being witness to Eevie being presented with her new sword by Magnus and Orophin. Happy faces all round!
Ending up on Tower Mod, getting mega-nerfed, and truly struggling to deal with having only 4 body and swinging for base damage. Why does this feel so familiar?
JR's thing on Saturday afternoon. As always, it was extremely entertaining, and easily a weekend highlight.
Seamus DelDragon out of nowhere
Dat bit on Saturday night when Belegchand totally bled to death and then didn't die. I'm not a huge fan of the phrase "all the feels," but I did get to act out a range of fairly intense emotional responses at that point.
Waking up on Sunday and dealing with the fallout from Lois Maxwell's late night confessionals.
Goblin bowling with Sylus Crone. Strrrrrrrike!
Giving a certain gypsy a Shadow Manipulator, witnessing said device "not work properly," then having to deal with the entire caravan yelling at me and demanding a refund. 10/10 gypsy-ing, you guys were awesome.
A slightly unusual wake-up mod on Sunday with Teresa. Hail the rockman!

This event all felt very surreal. Who knew a bunch of atheist Londwyns would have such strong opinions on Evil? There's a pile of people she now has a new respect for (none of which she told, because hey, stiff upper lip and all that, but it will play out eventually), and ones she previously had respect for which have lost esteem in her eyes.
"KICK ME HERE". Sorry Matt, but I've been wanting to do that to Belegchand for years Really, the whole time in the inn post main-mod made me glad of the RL bear that prevented me from going back to my tent. I hadn't had that kind of hangout/downtime in a long time.
Lois is pretty used to sitting down with Gideon and being interrupted by a million people who want Gideon to do something for them. Someone approached them on Sunday, and Lois instinctively leaned backwards to let Gideon answer. Turns out the person was looking for her. What a weird feeling!
Who knew being an accountant could be so exciting? Goose, apparently.
Late night talks about romance with Dimms and Grey, and the "hugging practice" with Goggins on Sunday that ensued from those talks.
Fixing Ilana's head.
WRENCH FIGHT!
While the Count was outside on Sunday morning and all the business with Bloodtide was being conducted, looking up and seeing the circling vultures. It seemed like nature really wanted us to have some awesome special effects this weekend.
Talks with Clytie, Genevieve, and Billliamm.
I probably forgot stuff. It will all come back to me after I hit "submit", I'm sure. Thanks to all the players, because y'all always seem to bring your A-game and make Knight Realms a great time :)

What an insightful event - truly proof that people will often choose the simplest option even when there may be something better. Lorelai spent most of the weekend contemplating the actions of others and discovering how she is beginning to feel about Travance. It was rough, to say the least.
Thank you to Zelretch for hearing her out, forEVER, to Belegchand for continuing to make time to talk and not holding her weaknesses against her, to Duncan for backing her up in a fight, to Ava for giving her perspective, and to Oren for being an inspiration. I'll gladly tell each of you details of this praise if you want to message me, but seriously - thanks for the introspection. And thanks to Gene for being the cause of a portion of it ;p
I had a great time hunting down the Lycanthrope (thanks Sean for letting us beat on you and chase you down) and fighting trolls on the beach with Duncan (Hero's Last Stand is totally meant to be used when you see your friend/battlemate on the ground!), and holding off the undead in the back of the battle during Main Mod - by herself, for a brief time. You guys were excellent sports.
Thank you to the PCs at the Inverted Tower! We were working hard and thank you for giving us chances to breathe! I enjoyed meeting a bunch of new players, too, and testing the ground for some of you. I hope we gave you a challenge. (also thanks to Cooper for being EPIC and also letting me put gold glitter ALL over his face, because he is the prettiest pr---soul guardian)
BURGER TRENCH. - cannot wait.
Lastly, I had an amazing time on Chris Z's Saturday morning mod, thank you for chasing me down, carrying me around, tormenting me, screwing with my mind, beating me up, and challenging my faith. I hope you guys enjoyed - I certainly did.

This was my second time at KR and I totally enjoyed it even more!
Some highlights from this go around:
-Finally pledging as a vassal of Alisandria. Everyone there is such a fun crew to roll with and Ketryn is pretty pumped about serving her new Lord and Lady.
-Early morning campfire-cooked bacon. yesssss.
-Expressing disgust about what the town was stooping to and then finally swallowing it and helping obtain the black heart when duty called.
-Main Mod was INTENSE. NPCing as a goblin berserker and screaming my heart out as my soaked hair ran into my facepaint and lightening filled the sky behind me. I felt pretty intimidating. It was awesome. Being resed by goblin healers and then taunting the pitiful humans and elves before dying again and again was super fun.
-NPCing as an assassin and then getting into a 15+ min hide-in-shadows standoff with other rogues while everyone waited to see who would make the first move. It was hilarious. I loved every minute of it.

Friday:
Flamenado in Honor's Peak! Don't touch the sides, though!
Silversmithing lessons and running on instinct. Lupta's hidden instincts to do what he's forgotten are showing through to more and more people.
Saturday:
The struggle to bring Gin-Yuki back was insane. His dragging me around nearly caused a panic, as more and more people decided to mess around in the spirit realm to figure out why we weren't trying to be more immediate with it. Also, finding out why the Red Heart was going to come from where it did, and needing to keep quiet about it... Ack.
Selendrian Ambassador: Zach showing up and informing us about the thing was made especially interesting when I thought about my sisters and really really really needing to get them involved.
Black Heart mod. When I was one of only two or three people not aware of what to expect, I was concerned... but the reality of the situation was oh so much worse. Needing to dissect an abusive mother while her children are desperately trying to rescue her... ugh. At least I was able to give her a decent burial, even if I did get called a hippie for doing it
NPC:
Probably the most restful shift I've been on. A moment of panic when the guard misconstrued "That is not my key!" and almost lost that character his life, but we got it done.
Sunday:
Getting to pal around and do magic! I really don't use spackets very much, though. That's what I really need to practice. Also, to my teaching student... I hope whaling on you like that wasn't too painful.for you... but I do also hope that the lesson really made an impact!

NPC:
Probably the most restful shift I've been on. A moment of panic when the guard misconstrued "That is not my key!" and almost lost that character his life, but we got it done.
Sunday:
Getting to pal around and do magic! I really don't use spackets very much, though. That's what I really need to practice. Also, to my teaching student... I hope whaling on you like that wasn't too painful.for you... but I do also hope that the lesson really made an impact!

Replied by Swyft (agentswift) on topic September 2014 Event Hightlights!
Oooh, boy...
The game started off with a bang for both Angeliana and me, after we received our “messages” from Atrus. Traveling to find him where he had to do his penance to Glomm was a trying task for two empathic healers. The closer we got, the worse it was and when we did finally reach him, it was staggering. Aaaand we found him nailed to a freaking tree.
Much screaming.
Serious props to John for having the cajones to do this. Wowie. I'm thankful it was as dark as it was or we probably would have been even more horrified, lol. Props to Alice too, for keeping it together when he got in her face. I didn't do quite as well when it was my turn... Holy crap, was that scary! He can describe horrible things much too well and it's much worse when it's up close and personal!
Angeliana's presence gave me courage, though, and we both managed to pull through, after much discussion and a lot of arguing and grumbling about gods and the like. Eventually we convinced him to come back with us.
Madness in the monastery! Everyone pressing all of the charges! CHAOS! That was the theme of Friday night.
Dispelling crazy rumors that Atrus killed Angeliana and Angeliana killed Atrus, what the hell, guys! lol
Early morning theological debates with Jed, Morgan and Aria... and certainly not having the popular opinion. The shenanigans between Jed and Morgan with the candles were priceless. And I just loved Aria's sass!
Getting brave enough around Jed to yell at him for nailing Atrus to a tree.
Finding Jonas on Friday night, what a delightful surprise! Telling him I renamed Travance to Crazy Town and that he was elected Mayor. He seemed very pleased by this!
Running into Kit like five times each day and deciding we would form Team Kitkat! We are fast friends, now!
Enjoying time with Trent, Lukas and our neighbors over in Drega'Mire where we were all tenting.
Gypsy Kris! Awesome to hang with everyone, many laughs, such comfortable folks to be around! I hear more gypsy parties are in store and I can't wait!
Trying hard to diffuse a fight with the gnolls and their halfling thief captive whom they wanted to eat at our campfire. Reason and logic didn't work, unfortunately, and they had to be dispatched when they attacked.
I missed some of the implications that lead to main mod, and apparently ignorance is bliss. Found out later and felt pretty bad I participated in the fight at all, though being in the skirmish group was fun as hell!
HAMMER TIME. Oh... the LAUGHS! (Sorry Pluvious, but it was just so darn funny!)
Trying to keep both Jed and myself underneath Oren's shield when the cold rain started coming down and having to do all the work because Jed declared himself a pretty princess.
Butt Horns... (Don't ask.)
The fight in the rain was pretty awesome. It was a little daunting being out in the field with only four other people and dodging Big Bads while making sure my group stayed up. Thanks to latent defenses I never dropped, but I did get shield bashed, which made Edwin panic, and throw me into the triage area and yell at me to stay there.
“Edwin, I was assigned to that group, I need to keep them alive!”
“I saw you fighting!”
“I was blocking!”
lol.
Hangout time with Kit and Jed in the cozy shack while we waited out the rain was fun times.
Because of the weather we were sure that nothing was going to be out. So we continued our conversations and then I saw Jed's eyes go wide as he went silent and Kit turned slowly in her chair saying “uhhhh...” so I turned around and there right behind us was some green elemental looking thing (Brad) that had seemed to have silently materialized out of nowhere.
I screamed. Couldn't help it. I could NOT process his being there, as we didn't hear him at all, no one saw him come in and all this after Jed had just told us how much things were not getting in. But there was a ward on the door they didn't see so they had to go back out. We DIED laughing. OOG Judge said he thought for sure that it was a real ghost, because it seemed so impossible for him to be there like that. That was ROUGH, Brad! You got us all good! Lol!
Lots of great rp on Sunday. Loved talking Ronin with Silverbow. The story for his choice of the path was so sad and intense. I love that Ronin is not just a standard code but a personal one. Really can't wait to have another discussion about that, especially after what happened with Blood Tithe...
Parry Lessons with Edwin! Loved it, and also thank-you Charlie, as always, for looking out for Swyft so much! Sorry I made you nervous at main mod. <3
Lucien's mass... well delivered, meaningful and potent for the current situation. Swyft is garnering so much respect for this character. He was so fiercely devoted during the spiritual crises on Friday night; that was some phenomenal rp! Thank-you for the meaningful lesson, too!
Great event, with great people and probably the most laughs I've had at Knight Realms in one weekend, yet! Made new friends, getting some serious character development and learning so much about others folks. So enjoyable, thank-you everyone!
