Nov 2014 Highlights.

Oh wow. So many this month... In no particular order:

The Pendarvin Moot (what little I was able to be there for), Stacey's wandering spirit (now named Anika) who was looking for a name, the realization that she could not come through the Phocus and handling her with Galen and Grim really really set the tone that this was a Hallow's Eve game, discussions of working with Clytie after the Brewery is in place.

Setup/Service for feast. I want to thank my kitchen crew. All of you are fantastic and we could not do ANY of this without you! You rock! Also seeing Crystal, Jeff and Jen in their makeup for main mod and wondering what they were going to be doing. Boy did we find out ;P

Being ordered by T'soli not to talk to Ethan about a certain subject. Also learning what Ethan looks like!

Sunday morning scrying for the Gem that was stolen using the Unicorn with Morwenne, Croi, Sir Danny, Ilana, Tari, Angelica and co. Getting a fire encased in ice! What? It was really pretty! Disappointed that we didn't get anything from the scrying, but that wasn't unexpected. Better to try and have no result. Sorry about the ice eyeballs!

Healer Storytime with Tori. Empathy lessons and discussions of healing with Lawrence. Learning lores and discussing theories with Lois, Belechand's reaction to said theory... Never seen anyone go into Quiet Contemplation like THAT before.

Main Mod with the Scholars: Jeff, Lauren, Crystal and Jen's performances. You guys were creepy, intense and fantastic! Never breaking character never acting as if they noticed us, even when we got up in their faces to investigate. At one point I was a few inches from Jeff and Jen watching their faces. Btw, yes I caught that small change in Gale's demeanor when Fallow said he'd heard so much about her. BRAVO GUYS! BRAVO!

Alternate Londwyn World: Alt Evie and Lois, Magitech!Grim and Evil Jun! Learning Goggins was not only a White Sorcerer in that world but in the Weave. Which lead to mental images of Goggins hitting the weave with a wrench trying to fix it. And the after-discussion with Lois!prime about her and goggins and finding out that drinks are very much needed! (Moreso now that I've learned some stuff OOG.) Gave Evie a big hug after we got back and she was like "Aww nice to see you too!" It was sweet!

Discussions with Klarrington and not!Verril about time and the things that can come about by messing with timelines. Verril already knowing that one of the NPCs that had come in asking for help was a Werewolf, and his constant creed of "spoilers".

The moments after main mod, sitting at the Inn with Cecilla, Tris and Rowan, drinking cider by the fire, listening to Rowan playing. Moment of total immersion there. It was FANTASTIC!

Dying. The NPC Cobalts were fantastic. First in trying to find someone to help us and when that failed coming in front of Pendarvin and taunting those in the statehouse, moving the bodies and yelling about sacrificing us to make Winter come sooner, yelling 'we're murdering people!' The NPCs made what could have been a total bullshit death absolutely amazing! So thank you! Lauren, I am still very sorry; very glad you didn't take a lifetag! Tim, THANK YOU FOR TRYING!

Dying part 2: Apparently scaring a few people with Thalia's rage when she literally burst into the inn screaming where the hell Arkelean was and the ensuing drama that happened because of the events of Saturday night on Sunday. Thanks to everyone! Love you all!

That's all I got at the moment. I know me, I will come up with stuff later and probably add it! Next month cannot come soon enough!

FINALLY. 3+ years of insanity: apathy cured by Ilana. ALL THE FEELS. At once. Lois is still reeling. For anyone who ever wonders while on their NPC shift what a random "go out there and die" NPC can do, it's this. One necromantic terror completely changed the course of a character for years. Don't ever think those little random encounters don't have any effect, because they definitely do.

SCIENCE! with Bolton and Amalthea all over the inn tables. Oh baby

Bolton getting really angry about Mercator coordinate systems. The things that set some people off...

Early Saturday morning shenanigans with Cypher & Ilana.

NPC'ing druid/sorcerer Lois Goggins. The way the whole mod was set up was really cool and a lot of fun to be a part of.

NPC'ing torturer mod. You guys were all great! I wish I could have screamed louder for you, but my throat was already shot

Lore: Time lessons. I love giving that one. It results in things like Thalia saying, "So Klarington is the tuna fish of time?"

The very first thing Lois saw when the time map was unrolled were the words "The Shantytown Shanker." I just lost it and could not stop giggling. I had just recently started formatting the issues of the very first Chronicle by Portia Rom to put up on the website, and the Shantytown Shanker figures prominently in them. They'll be up soon for everyone to read

Speaking of the Chronicle, I thought we had a really solid issue this time around. Keep up the good work, guys!

Celting it up in logistics with Matt C. and Jen.

Watching Grimkjell herd cats.

"Can you insult and deny everything we believe for us? We really miss Goggins."

Girl time with Meander!

Lois's first reanimation ever, and making Angeliana throw up as Lois (who had no real equipment) siphons the fluid in William Sterling's chest cavity out with her mouth.

And finally, Lois opens her very first higher list ever Thank you to Belegchand, who finally found an hour of free time to teach me. I am so excited right now

Goose, you are now Macho Man Randy Savage! You have this title thanks to friday night as Lebar. As I listened to you yell at at Haroldson its all I could picture.

Can't wait to see Tobar timewarp into travanse to start back handing us all for messing with time and space.

Finally, ALL OF THE HATE! Everything has coincided together for all of the Dominic hate, I AM THUPER DANGEROUTH RAWR!

Okay folks where do I start to spin this monthes Highlights?
Friday Night...long story short, I lived through combats, and unsuccessful treasure hunts. Helped protect Bloodtide with Sir Daniel, Mr. Dimms, Erik, and Swyft on and off healing us.
The Final Duel of Zatar Kane and the Brotherhood of Shadows.
After a few minor skirmishes , I went to the Oscliffe State House and pub for a spell then onto my Night Watch.
Finding out the the Barracks WASN'T completely destroyed.
Kalodonia saves Argyll McCoy again!
Saturday morning wild wake up, Zipeto npc shift...well that was violent. Matt I'm so sorry about what happened.
Dream Mod was so much fun, well thought out, and I really wish the players enjoyed it as much as we did.
After that, a few more Guard Patrols with the team and Arkelean...more downed undead.
Feast...wow, I tip my hat to the whole kitchen staff for a well needed and lovely meal.
The talks of Goggins...Cory...those tears and solemn looks for you were too real for just in game. You are missed, and loved by your KR FAMILY, I wish you will brother.
Main Mod I was stolen by the Celtic super group the Fianna. I am so glad too, we saved lived, and fought like a well oiled machine of kilted fury, great RP.
Alice, you rp like a boss. Oh, I also owe a few people a serious sorry, I was a bit wild out there, I don't need to know who, but you pointed it out, I will work on it. Thank you, we are all here to have fun. I aim to add to, never take away.
Okay...the Big Bad Black Sorcerer Necromancer that I THOUGHT Arklean and I killed was still VERY alive and soooo not the right one. Folks we bring in or take down the Evil Necromancers...it's become our calling card, Bad Cop and Worse Cop.
Luis...WOW, just wow...Zipeto and Oreos have competition for the most wild ideas.
To all those that aided us, thank you, for Arklean and I would have both been lost had it not been for you. The Mages Guild, Witch Hunters, and special thanks to Torq...enjoy that bloody sack of gold, you earned it. I know many of us were hurting after Main Mod, and we thank you ALL for aid us. The irony is...folks...i never really made it to the real fight, but i tried to take the Inverted Tower myself, loyalties folks. So again Luis WOW!
Lives were lost, and so many people fought to aid us it was the Wildest Night at KR I certainly ever had. Special thanks to those who gave all they had, you know who you are.
Knight Captain Magnus once earning his title of Immortal.
Arklean and Tesse= Close My Eyes Forever?
Who Guard's the Guard?
Argyll is off to repair the Barracks for now, till next moon be safe. Valos protect you.

Something I noticed about KR is that the more you play, the more ridiculous the plots seem. All the time travel stuff was absolutely insane, and future-past alternative Verril has somehow become my favorite Verril.

Friday:
Coming ingame to Dimms with Bloodtide, and a lot of confusion, especially about Bloodtide, and fighting a demonically powered Zatar Kane. He deserves Selendrian justice, and I am willing to administer it in the most painful way possible, which involves a tree, some rope, and all the raw meat and barbecue sauce I can get my hands on.
Travelling to the Golden Age to get Oathmaker. I have officially fallen in love with Berserker rage, because rp-ing it is intense. Losing control never felt so good, and attacking allies (Sorry Rowan) is a weird experience, but the beast inside Kanas didn't care. More enemies for him to try to slice up. I think the most poignant moment for me during that mod was making the promise to Oathmaker. It gave me a chance to reflect on how Kanas has grown since his first event, and that is not the scared boy from before. He found something to protect, and his oath upon the blade is going to help with understanding his future as a character.
Bran's course on how to become a badass. I'm trying, and one day, I will become as badass as he is. Just not so sure about the kilt.

Saturday:
The curse of the Ginosaji! Thanks Chris Scanlon, because I think I might have a spoon shaped bruise on my shoulder. Some murders take seconds, some take hours. Some take years.
Talking to Lord Silverbow, and telling him his chief responsibility as the lord of pendarvin, to take care of the grill.
The Druid mod, and how I completely didn't notice that Keavy is now a celt.
I wanted to go to the VIS timeline so badly, but I had to help the druids, so I missed fighting mecha-Grim.
The Ostcliff mod. I want to find that dark druid and give him a piece of my mind. By that I mean a punch to the face.
Feast was awesome.
Giving Oathmaker to Astrid was a moment where I got to really understand the responsibility of the sword, and that we will always be bound to our oaths, regardless of who has the sword.
NPCing as the Scaremortals in Main Mod was pretty cool. Seeing my fellow scaremortals look lifeless and like Scarecrows was a really cool scene, and the mod-site was incredible. A+ main mod, would NPC again.

Overall an awesome event and looking forward to the next one!

Oh man. This event has probably been my favorite yet.

Friday Night: Got to be a black dragoon beast that accompanied Miranda against the Pentir Knights. Amazing combat and roleplaying all around!
Playing mod boss for Matt and Jenn down at the caravans. Having everyone super worried about a frail and terrified man to suddenly being scared to death of a werewolf. the expression on people's faces when I physically tore my shirt open and start drooling fake blood was wonderful.

Saturday: Waking up and hanging out at the inn for an hour or so, just socializing. was a nice way to just relax. Then got to go to the Inverted Tower of the past when it was JUST a normal Tower. Had some fun roleplaying taking down demons and retrieving Agravane. Damn it, Burk. Stop making me fall down!

Being offered a spot in the guard then having to turn it down because my loyalties are with the Fianna. Sorry, guys. People think i'm a guard anyway. Can I just say I'm one yet? haha

Helping Argyll kick in undead faces. That's how we do.

Arkelian being shown a glimpse of the woman he loved one last time by time Verill and being able to say good bye and he loved her one last time. THE FEELS.

Main mod was soooooo cool. The Scaremortals were monstrous but so much fun to fight. Thank you for Teresa Amore for giving me the most badass one on one fight I've ever had. The both of us just laying into each other while people actually watched was epic and being able to just scream no effect like a boss at every mental effect made me feel strong. Then roaring at you when you fell....Arkelian is truly a berserker.

After main mod, going to the monastery to unwind with Seamus and Brann. I lived through the night, Seamus. I hope I made you at least a little proud. Then heading to Ostcliffe to take on a black sorcerer who was going to take Sanura and getting his with a trap that relieved me of my legs. Where did that even COME FROM?!

Going to the Bloody Stump and waiting for that necromancer to show up. Seeing the look of disappointment on Argyll face when he was forced to be left behind. Then the epic showdown at the Inverted Tower. Getting left behind and having dark....dark things happen to Arkelian. Where is this going? Only time will tell. Then poofing into the inn with everyone super worried about me. I didn't know so many people cared! Then having to console Sanura and tell her that I would have gone to the ends of the earth to protect her.

Finding out Amalthea and Thalia were killed heading to the phokus to to bring me back. The rage at what caused it and the guilt that it was my fault was really bad.

Collapsing drunkenly into bed that night and having Tessa show up, telling me she was about to murder people if Arkelian had been killed. Yay bonding.

Being questioned endlessly about what had happened at the Inverted Tower and feeling helpless when I didn't have the answers. At least Seamus isn't upset with Arkelian. I still lived....right?

Oh...and..."Almighty Malyc hear my prayer, your most dedicated servant beckons you to bring this child to life." and all the confusion that sentence brought.
