September 2014 Event Hightlights!

September event….
Quite a few things this go and all I can say is…. Holy crap.
Madness of plot and the willingness of people to *not* look for another option. And some of those people are PC’s Duncan respected. Or used to at least. Its gonna make interesting rp should it come up between in game.

Pre-game, showing a peculiar physrep to Cory and the others in the Armory and their reactions…. Priceless.

Friday:
Walking with the new travancians and assisting as needed… and apparently scaring the crap out of friends when I disappeared in the dark without a sound then reappeared again without a sound.
Some wicked fights this night… for sure. Little did I know how much harsher was to come.
Monastery madness- both times I went in there this night, I got dropped. Once from an intercepted retribution and once because I managed to be physically in the way.
A long delayed chat with Lorelai interrupted and waylaid by another PC. Damn it…
Bed by 4am…..

Saturday:
Up at 7 and moving… straight into morning insanities concerning all the Blood Tithe shenanigans. And resolving if given the opportunity, I would try to find another way or encourage looking for that other way… Failed at this one, I did…. Not for lack of trying... the stone wall of "This is only Way" answer caused me to lose respect for a supposedly wise and honorable man. This will have repercussions, I am sure.

More patrols.. and Abyssal Spear mini-mod. Pulling a daytime disappear and reappear to the surprise of some. Interesting RP for this one, some fascinating developments and when it went sour, it got really wild. Tracking the Big Bad who portal-ed away; the prisoner popping the poison tooth and the resurrecting of her in Alisandria made for fun stuff.
The Prisoner’s escape and subsequent recapture & carry back to the questioning area was great physical RP. Way to nearly make me drop you, Rachel…

Fighting at the beach later on in the day. What started out as small group of ogres attacking folks down there…. Became a fight for our lives as the count of[strike] Ogres[/strike] Trolls grew to over 15. Lorelai and I alone account for 12 of them and the cavalry that came running got the rest. Epic epic fight…

Feast!
Of the 11 main meals I have eaten in the last year, this one is tied with the Kitchen Fire delayed meal fighting with it for top dog. That awesome.


Main Mod!!
Several things-
*Leslie- Sorry for tossing you under bus but when Gene said what he needed for that priestess, you fit the bill to a T.
*Fighting in the rain/thunder…. Watching the scene as Safety Marshal, I was impressed at how folks were managing combat in the crappy conditions. Low injury count for this despite conditions was waaay impressive.
*When the super close lightning strike happened, I was happy to know Gene and I were on the same page…
*And yes…. I needed a medic. Found the rut on the sloped section of the road between Armor Field and the Crossroad to the modsite the hard way. One bloody knee and hand later….

Post Mod!
The Great Bear Avoidance
The attempt to (event classified by Higher Authority)
A Goblin, some Ogres and a key ohmy…. And the funny arrest made because of it.
Then the opening of what the key fit. Yeah that.
Bed by 4 am again…

Sunday Funday…

Up early again (7 am is a thing) and there needs to be a sign on the shower house as to male or female inside so no one gets embarrassed or an eyeful they shouldn’t. Something to ponder, at least.

Breakfast then learning Master Florentine from Bran. Many one liners and at least one near painful weapon exchange later…. Cringe-worthy to be sure.

Not an hour later, “Master Warrior 3: the Butt-whuppin’”. Gave as good as I could and I think surprised my teacher with some of the things I did.

And Yes Illana… this old man does move that fast.


END of Game and the great packing began.

All in all, a good event. A Disturbing event IC and amusing OOC, to be sure… Next month should be just as fun!

I will list my other highlights later, but after John made a safety point during me during opening ceremonies <<*And yes…. I needed a medic. Found the rut >>

That he did it while standing almost next to me was the icing on the cake. Since I like John, I only rubbed it in three times. He wasn't certain at first whether it was blood or mud, so I helpfully shined a lantern on it. :lol: "Yep, its blood. Got any AAA ointment?"

(We interrupt this absolutely excited program with this message. I know there's no legitemate reason for me to explain, but I want to. Anyway, for last times highlights there were 3 things I need to say. 1: I was using an I-Pad and my fingers just don't feel satisfied on one of those. 2: Tired, just tired. 3: School was just about to start for me. With that in mind, let us proceed.)

This event was just beautiful.

Saturday

Across the day, explaining to the new Magi Iron Sides what Travancian etiquette is like was interesting.

Going off to kill a sorcerer and take his heart (and seeing a strange phoenix) then running straight to Tower Mod to see someone else with a heart. I was confused nonetheless and very, very agitated

Feast was amazing and it will supposedly be cooked in my home from this moment forward.

Main Mod was Main Mod, but the weather just heightened the tension. I really want to see an in-game explanation of the lightning, because at first I thought it was Pyrotechnics.

THE CUULLLT!
There was a lot more interesting stuff going on, but my memory has dimmed.
Sunday
NPC Shift

Now the shift was wonderful. First was the group of Giant Rats, with Animal Empathy and Food in hand. To the person who I was standing on, I may not of mentioned that my OOG size was the size of that rat...sorry. Then I got to spread disease.

Goblin Colony in Drega'Mire! (Apparently this has happened before?) The skinning of a Waylaid man, along with the trimming of his hair is not how it works in the tgmnuitj0otk-q9uodybqwgh Tribe.

Then in comparison, going to Alisandra, sending out a Boom Boom Goblin only to get it sent right back, then dying and of course the Shrek clothes found upon my corpse.

Undead was great, seeing as the skull upon my head was so lifelike. I loved how the jaw was broken on the mask and coincedentally thats where my gems were hidden.

Overall, just wonderful.

Hey! First time PC'ing this weekend and I had a lot of fun despite being in the Amazon Rain Forest. I've written a small narrative of what happened. If it's too much I can take it down or abbreviate it. If you want something taken out or rewritten, send me a message.

After arriving in Travance, Jikan found himself touring the lands, getting familiar with the new area he was sent to. Shortly, the group of new adventurers was met by a strange pack led by a Dragoon by the name of Horus. Squire Uidhir warned the new dragoons about Horus and his evil intentions. Soon after all the dragoons gathered around the Dragon Cairn to meet with Horus and his plan to reforge the Blood Tide, the only weapon known to be theorized to defeat Balfurous. Telling the Dragoons gathered around what needed to be done the Dragoons set off to taint any soul they had left by carrying out the dark deeds of murdering and ripping the hearts of an exemplar of the draconic colors. Much to the blatant outcry of a majority of Travance, including most of the dragoons, the deed was carried out by nightfall of the next day. Jikan felt sorrow, pure sorrow for the lost souls sacrificed in the name of the supposed greater good. Unable to prevent the evil deeds, Jikan sat contemplating with a group of likeminded barbarians on how to cease these actions.

Jikan had met with many dragoons of which he never met before, the most prominent and memorable where that of Draconic Champions Arden Uidhir and Horus, Burkhart Jarlson, and Quan Lui. Making great friends with Burkhart, Jikan learned much about the dragoons and their originations.

After being recruited to assault the inverted tower to relinquish the necromancer of his power and free the souls of his damned, we found ourselves with direct instructions to not harm the undead so their souls could be freed under punishment by the guard. As the fighting started, Jikan found himself protecting the less combat capable and taking fallen brethren to the small amount of healers that were available. As the fighting became prolonged and exhausting, Jikan stood on the front lines halting the advance of lines of undead protecting those behind him. Deftly parrying blows from several undead, sometimes many at once, Jikan was successful in the protection of many of his allies and the undead they so tried to save, or some of his allies at the very least. Many of his allies did not share the same fervor to protect the souls trapped in the bodies as some of his allies were blatantly trying to destroy them.

After which Jikan found himself heralded by the Lieutenant of the Guard Grimkjell Eirson to be conscripted as he had currently no ties to any of the lands he had just entered. Jikan and his assortment of newly conscripted allies made the long trek to the soon-to-be battlefield where the evil blade, Blood Tide, was to be reforged and its new owner found. Our tasks, to protect the evil blades reforge and ensure that the forces of Horus (and an itinerant group of greenskins?) did not prevent the reforge. Meeting up with the Captain in charge of the defense, of which Jikan cannot remember the name of, we learned our strategy of defense and were familiarized with the procedures to be done that night.

Unfortunately do to certain circumstances Jikan was unable to fight gloriously and bring honor to his family that night for he had to leave (OOG).
