January 2015 Event Highlights

With the advent of winter, I had to become more of an ice pirate for this event. We were short a priest and several others, but the crew held together strong. (or maybe froze together?) I should expect nothing less! That new barbarian race is terrifying. Wonderful portrayal on the NPCs part. This event was less combat-intensive but still productive for me. I got all my in-game errands done!!

• Friday, being an exploding goblin was, how can I say… a blast. *flips on shades*
• Saturday picked up productively. According to my full-time NPC buddy, Collin could be located anywhere in Travance because of how his voice carries. I can only attest so far. I went great lengths to sit on every piece of furniture wrong and stand on every table and chair in the Inn.
• I think I got honorarily inducted into a family of gypsies. Papa gypsy’s taken a shine to me, but I’m still depositing my money in the bank from now on. There’s safety in numbers, especially when nearly all of them lie like bearskin rugs.
• Yelling at the lord of Dreagamire was a privilege few indulge in and live. "I don't give a peg-legged, starfish FART..." Now I have legitimate reason to give Steve Oros nasty looks around camp.
• A very touching monologue from a drow healer whose name eludes me. If you see yourself mentioned, speak up!
• I think my ship got confiscated and now I'm moving cargo for Krow? Crow?? Get in touch with me, I want to know what I'll be doing about that.
• CADE WORRIED US ALL when he exchanged himself to torture worshippers for a scroll at the tower. Worth every second of suspense. Speaking off – you NPCs during that shift were on POINT. We were all pissing ice spears because of you. Thanks for making this event so much cooler. (all ice puns intended)
• Valanye’s finding and bringing more teachers to Collin he doesn’t approve of. I can’t wait to see how she grows as a player and a character.
• Got attacked by rats. They cleaned my coconut purse out dry aND TOOK MY BACON AND ICE WINE.
• I enjoyed stories by the fire Saturday night. Amizar and Creepy Bard Minor (the associate of Creepy Bard Major) tell awesome stories if you ever get a moment to sit with them.
• Escorted Morgan (the PC) back to Winterdark and got to talk her ears off the entire way. This was a great event for establishing a reputation among the other players. I also met Gills the ogre, it was comforting to bond over nautical nonsense with another pirate deep in the winter!
• The bards that sang at feast were SO TALENTED. I AM A BIG SHAMELESS GROUPIE FOR YA'LL. maybe not necessarily in character bUT STILL.
• Collin almost got arrested twice, (once for grave robbing, once for threatening Aleister) but now he’s free as a bird to wreak havoc again. One of these arrests interrupted Na’ar’s lessons, but I got to be condescending towards a guard member, which is always worth the strife.

All in all, it’s been a fun event, and I look forward to many more! It goes to show that even in winter, KR is still the highlight of my month! Get in touch with me between events so I can learn everybody's names, and let's make beautiful character interactions together.

OMG I completely forgot something, and forgot to put it in with my quote of the month submission....

Billiam told caldor about a new type of magic....

"Its an Ancient form of Blood Magic.
You have to cast it with your hands.
Its main spells are:
'Transmute Urine into Blood' [PUnches Target in Kidneys]
'Dispel Teeth' [Punches Target in Mouth]
'Shatter Limb' [Punches Target in Arm]
'Immobilize' [Punches Target in Spine]"


I laughed so hard.

this was seriously a really rough event for me. health issues triggered by people made this a seriously rough event for me. But still, there were a few highlights...

Telling the "water go down the hole" story to people. Last time my three year old watches Tiny Toon Adventures.

Backsassing captured vanir. "Ye want to know where the elk is?"
"Yes."
"UP YOUR ARSE AND AROUND A CORNER!"

Finally getting manacles after SIX months of asking.

All of the assistant.

fighting with two broken legs. Still crawling after Vanir NPC trying to kill it off, then yelling "BREAK ME LEGS WILL YA? I'LL KICK YE TO DEATH OUT OF SPITE!" To which Grim says "Shut up, and get healed!"

Kleidin teaching Dissect.

Crit lesson. Holy shit, Josh is a good fighter.

All in all, I find myself pretty frustrated trying to advance the PC past "I hit things with a sword, drink and make whisky." to actually being a well rounded character. not sure why, but it is really frustrating, dismaying and generally irritating.

Till next time, Wear your seatbelt, don't run with scissors, and try to carry some water with you in game.

~ The Shack and how uncomfortable Jade makes Swyft there! (Haha- Thanks Renee for making that fun.)

~ Leaving none alive... (those were there know what that means)

~ Dangerous Pickles - Scaring the bejeezus out of Jeff Balla and Renee was CLASSIC

~ Having Jade meet Ketryn for the first time only to find out she has to win my trust...MUWAHAHA

~ The Oubliette and ALL the stuff that went down in there... 'nuff said!

~ Sir Magnus....hehe

~ The exchange between Rudolph and Jade was priceless!

~ Going on Lich MOD and seeing Tori come around the corner playing it and thinking...OH CRAP WE ARE SO DEAD!

~ Jed (no explanation needed LOL)

So many things that make this game amazing and fun every time I am there!

Thanks to everyone,

TOO MUCH GOOD STUFF THIS EVENT!

I also forgot! MAJOR congrats to Amalthia and Caelvan. VERY deserved both of you.

I am happy to be that teacher you don't approve of for her. And I have a bunch more she can learn from that you aren't gonna like..
