January 2015 Event Highlights

The camp looked gorgeous, the storylines of the weekend were so involved, and the new rules are kickin'. A+ weekend! Thank you, Kirsten, Garrett, and the slew of players and marshals that helped them make an amazing event!

-Main mod was really enjoyable. Thank you, Drega'Mire for adopting the halfling into your ranks for the battle!
-a BIG tip of the hat to Steven, May, and Tori for jumping into the song for Feast at the last minute (with minimal rehearsal time ). Jen, thank you as always for the joy and shenanigans!
-Buff-battle with Annora
-Being a part of the Northern trials mod
-Ree, that was some damn good mac'n'cheese!

My biggest highlight was the mini-mod in the Oubliette! Seriously, you couldn't have scripted a better scene. My only regret is that it wasn't filmed! Joe, John, Alice, Steve, Marcella, Sean and Christine... there are no words for how unbelievably awesome you all made that. I was thrilled to be a part of it and thrilled with the outcome. There were so many times I thought we were so dead! Poor Ilana got Shanghaied into our mad, mad world. She was incredible, though! Particularly when wind walking me away from Atrus who wanted to rip out my heart... until got distracted by his own madness.
Seeing Atrus' worst experiences come to life was intense. He rolled with it so well, climbing rock walls and everything! Being able to eventually interact with his memories was amazing, but also put on an incredible amount of pressure. I had to wrack my brain to come up with what to say to try to counteract the horrendous things happening. ...When my tongue wasn't being rotted out...
There was even a moment when Alice and I had to play corrupted versions of ourselves, oh MAN, was that wild!
Angeliana was wonderful, coming up with great counterarguments, particularly during a very important moment that, if we failed, might have lost us everything... She has the heart of a lion!
And all the while, Karkat orchestrated the madness, harassing us in various ways. Later hearing him say the words “I lost” to us almost floored me!
Just... a phenomenal performance from everyone. I am SO excited for what's next! Never a dull moment!

Kaledonia mod! Zach and Kayla did fabulous job, between the script, the plot, the WONDERFUL makeup and costuming and the people who performed, really went well. I loved being part of it! I'm glad everyone had fun!

The ambush by barbarians with Aldric, who said the whole time it was an ambush, while I tried to reason with them. He was right. Lol.

Getting to know Billiam a bit better and understanding why he does the things he does. This after having a minor altercation with him over his interrogation methods.

The shack attack! Oh my! After Jed received a package with two swords and a note that said “They Are Coming,” angry Glommites sneaked in to burn down the shack and steal our notes and literature! We managed to save the shack from destruction because Jed got angry about it... lol. Also, super grateful Mistress Jade showed up, too. Damn, that woman takes no prisoners. Literally.

Fainting when extra insane Atrus said he was coming for me... (Nice, soft snow made that possible, lol.) Then later running into him with Nalick (again, poor fellow looked horrified) when I tried telling Atrus I wasn't afraid of him. Nalick, thank you for your unending support all weekend! I didn't mean to put you into dangerous situations! You are a trooper!

Good, wholesome Healer times with the Elk and Astrid! I think we followed (Matt Calos) around for like forty-five minutes, getting drunk off positive energy and enjoying the clean, fresh air. I could easily picture how majestic this spiritual elk would look as we were walking. It was immersing and awesome.

Weird, unnerving confrontation in Alisandria between Marcus and I when he purposely was poking Jed's mask to make it hurt. It got dark for a minute there, especially with Emeline's comment...

Amizar using his new Monstrous Disguise ability to make a decoy elk! Such a fantastic idea! I hear it worked well. Paul, you are a delight.

The ridiculous situation at the table in the inn , as I clung to Ilana with Karkat in front and Atrus to the side. Awful, the both of you!

Main Mod Drega'Group. Mostly we fought the snow, but at least we were a damn tightly knit group!

Spent some good times with Morgan. She is such an interesting character. I learn more and more about her. I hope one day Swyft can help her find her joy again!

In the shack with Jed post attack:
Nalick looks as though he hears something near the door, but Morgan seems calm.
Swyft: Is there something outside?
Nalick: (leaning out and then ducking back in) Yes!
Swyft: Aaahh! (Gets weapon ready)
Jade: (walking in, eating a sandwich) You'd all be dead. Point made.

The moral? Pickles can be deadly.

Aria's shenanigans...

The encounter with an Illithid... Just lucky to be alive! Eek...

The odd conversation with an odd group on Sunday outside the inn... Steve, as Karkat, you are an absolute horror. But you are also terribly amusing!

Terezi helping me bring something ethically important to the attention of the Town Guard!

The new Jaxuarian! Your makeup was fabulous, madame! I look forward to future interactions!

Another fun morning constiutional with Jonas! Valos is a cookie.

Facing rats with Amalthea to reclaim the Kaladonia flag! She is fierce!

It's like each event outdoes the next. I don't even know how it's possible, but I love it! There were so many people who created fantastic experiences! Thank-you, everyone!

I certainly enjoy an event that resonates with Keavy's inner Princess Mononoke haha

Highlights:
-Zach's Vision Quest mod - My god what an incredibly fun and well done mod. It was a great mix of RP and combat. Meeting the Primal Spirits has made Keavy form another new goal in life. This was also the most fun I've had using my totem form as well- especially when I got to attack Matt Calo's NPC Cormac. Great job from everyone involved.

Also, three things: Senpai noticed me, Slay Bite, and WILLPOWER B*TCH!

-At Logistics:
Chuck: I had Dread Surgery and need some insanities.
John H: I had Dread Surgery and need some insanities.
Alice: I'd like to deposit gold and lifestyle please.

-Learning Perfect Focus from Billiamm with Orion. Solar Plexus!

-Watching two NPCs run at each other all warlike then slip past each other in an unintentionally comedic way. While its not nice to laugh at those who slipped on ice, they were ok!

-Caelvan getting Knighted!!!!!!

-Solo killing so many big bads this event!! Finally Keavy's able to really take them on! First was a large demon from the aforementioned battle, then Josh Labar's big bad barbarian at the Kaladonia area main mod! Then killing him again at the second half, not solo, but with the final slay!

-After main mod, learning Despair from Billiamm. After all the big bads I killed previously in the day, Billiamm was right when he said:
"Chaos warriors may not be able to take down entire armies, but they can fight THAT ONE GUY really well and kill them dead!"

-Totem meditations with Beligor and Amalthea

-Witnessing the rebirth of the Elk

-Belegchand sweet talking the Nothingness

Keavy has returned again to Sylvanus, aka I will not be around for a few months working on my fine art thesis. I will try to make it out to April if I can, but for now I'll miss you all.

Send me good vibes!!!

More accurately, Belegchand sweet talking the Nothingnss, Verrill hitting on it, and Croi trying to get it drunk.

~Do you want to save the Londwyns
From getting crushed by snow?~
Major thanks and props to Kayla, JCP, and Sharone for trekking out to the Londwyn tent before 8am to check on us and clear the snow off our tent before it collapsed! Everyone always says that the community of this game is great, and you guys really exemplified that.

Similarly, thanks to Cappy for dropping out of game on Saturday for a bit to use his magical "I own an SUV" power to help me pick up the Chronicle

Meander: It's such a shame the Londwyn university collapsed. All those books!
Tobias: Well, that's why our national anthem is also the entire encyclopedia. *begins singing* Volume one. Aardvark. Antelope. Large Antelope; see Antelope."

Hat swap!

Circuitous conversations that last 4 hours to end up with a new baker.

Watching Magnus & Rudolph get into it - from 20 feet away, because dear god that was terrifying.

Tea party!

Sunday morning, an Andorran priest came over to the where some Londwyns were sitting to preach at us. "You need to open your hearts!" So Lois did... Who knew something as simple as opening the panel to show off your clockwork heart would make someone run screaming from the inn?

I would like to personally thank: Jen Eff, Jeff Balla, Christine Beard, Cameron Hunting, Josh LaBar, Walter, Kayla, Chris Zipeto, Shane, Sam Maksoud, Renee, Matt Calo, and Brendan for NPCing for helping bring the most ambitious mod I've ever dreamed up to life. The characterization was spectacular all around, the intensity and engagement of the mod was high, and many of you took a 5 minute conversation about your character and turned it into something unique and special and larger than life. Additionally, I'd like to thank those of you with minor roles for bearing with me through in the cold; you guys are the unsung heroes of that mod.

And now, some highlights;

-"How old do you think I am!?"
-Main plot this month was incredible. I only got to play my PC for about 8 hours this event, but I was engaged for the whole time.
-Watching Matt prance around in that elk costume.
-Orc bits
-Fighting Zipeto.
-Bowling for elves. Sorry about your vassals, Gideon.
