March 2015 Highlights

My first event back since September

Lets see....

-Getting there and being hugged!
-Seeing Lord Silverbow and finding out theres a plague amongst the healers!
-Trying to help, realizing it wasnt going to happen, and therefore wandering and finding out things randomly that I apparently wasnt supposed to know. Pretty much par for the course Id say.
-Helping anyone I could, leading to very interesting conversations and doings.
-Trying to heal Shamus and facing down Jason while he stood there, daring me to go into the Spirit Realm after him. Had Marika asked me to, I likely would have. But not just because an evil creature told me to.
-Going into the Spirit Realm anyways! And NOT being obliterated. That was a thing and I was very interested to see Mae do something that one would argue was completely rash, reckless, and mayhap stupid. She literally did not and does not care though- she has grown in some ways different then I would have thought.
-RPing with Quan Lui, Imrahil, Swyft, tons of people that my tired brain doesnt remember atm
-Being soooo tired and cold right before Main Mod and then fully waking up and being very warm during the fighting. I was so warm that I sat in the snow afterwards and didnt feel anything!
-Making it home barely after calling Heather and having her talk to me to wake me up. Seeing hallucinations while driving is no fun.

I will hopefully see you all in the April event. Take care all!

~ Reactions to Atrus's eyes
~ All RP with the infected healers. A+ spitting at me and being all somber and hateful.
~ Soap sale during market fair! Thank you all for your support
~ Gypsies. These guys are hilarious. Table next to mine during late market had me giggling non stop. RP gold.
~ Aleister grilling Syndra for giggling during the small council meeting. "She is laughing, she is enjoying our pain, sounds Augurran to me..." Augurrans make Andorrans sad... sorry Taylor.
~ Banishing the staff demons in the inn.
~ Vox's disappointment for Angeliana missing the poker game. Haha, I was sadder, trust me.
~ Yelling at Bolton for being rude and ripping out Anhil's heart in the inn around empathic healers. OUCH.
~ Then crying when he was executed and passionately disapproving / arguing with Lord Blackthorne.
~ Benediction for feast, and also yummy shepards pie!
~ Barmass! Getting drunk during mass. Valosian coooooooookiiiies.
~ Marika and Shamis's wedding! All the RP with both all event. Sam... nice
~ The Copper Nalick song. AMAZING. Jenn F. You are a genius. Period. Also got the Magnus song stuck in my head and got a bunch of folks to laugh later when I was sleepy in front of the fire and mumbled: "Magnus punched a face with his tree once" ... cause tired.
~ Pluvious is Winterdark meow! "One of us! One of us!" Congrats!
~ Ritual group lingering before the fighting started for main mod, then the entire town rushing out leaving the few of us behind when the corrupted healers attacked the inn... Stellar tactics...
~ The ritual during main mod. Looked sooo cool. From the blood I got all over my dress while circling the corrupted to the lamp oil fires burning and lighting everything up. This was awesome. Well done!
~ Interactions with corrupted healers during the ritual. I think I blew every mental defense / courage / hope skill I had on me to not lose it. Way to torment me friends and students.
~ Hugging Karen's healer when Angeliana felt her sorrow and loneliness after the cleanse. Everyone needed a hug.
~ Getting carried back to the inn after blowing Font of life. That was a large pulse! Rutger's (sp?) talk.
~ Double fisting wine bottles. Win.
~ Talking to the focus.
~Winterdark Shenanighans. :silly:

Can't wait to see you all perhaps when it's a little warmer in April. Take care KR family!

tmi, bro...

The best part was that Orren tried to use his ability to nullify a wild surge on it... BUT IT WASN'T A WILD SURGE! IT WAS CRAZY DWARFS

Friday's Fredrick mod was excellent, even if I fell on my arse in the snow no less than fourteen times.
Some beautiful RP went on between the Angel and the Archdevil, and at times it looked pretty bleak but we held it together. It was particularly rewarding for Swyft to watch the archdevil of Glomm be cast out from an angel of Valos! Great mod, thanks Matt and everyone else who was involved!

The appearance of a staff that spit out demons into the tavern late at night was interesting...

Atrus' exploding jar ritual... That was fun. Left nice colors on the snow, too.

Complications with Jed... sigh! And Mother Remi's assistance.

Father LaBelle's kind words in the monastery! Thank-you for the encouragement!

Reading Atrus' cards...
“Be the water dragon!”

45 minute Wendigo fight! When Imrahil alerted me that Nalick was down for the count by the mage's guild, I scrambled to reach him and thus engaged in the most tiring battle of the century!
I hated having to leave Mother Remi in her sanctuary, but the few folks we had were with were getting totaled, so we had to get some distance since none of us could even damage them! This did not bode well with Swyft's nature, so I had the bright idea to try and cut through the snow to get to Alissandria for help. Nalick came with me, and about halfway where, we were so tired from the deep snow that it became this big dramatic production of “Go on without me”s and delightfully silly comments with Nalick, who never gave up on me!

And then the fight continued for another twenty minutes. Lol! Good job, everyone!

Made it, just barely, to the Kriss! Good to see the kin all together, even if I got there late and battered with a busted coin belt.

Attempting to read Jed's fortune with an oracle deck was an amusing time. In the middle of it, Jade appears behind the chair. When I realize, I do manage to contain my surprise and mold it into a high pitched “We really have to stop meeting like this!”
Much love, Padma! It's so hard to hold back the laughter!

Main mod was awesomely exciting. From the giant ritual to the madness of Great, Glowing Soul Harvester, it was a good time. Being teleported via agonizing thunderbolt to the lair of Malyc, himself, was one hell of a scene. It had a strangely Wizard of Oz feeling to it, except much, much darker...
I had Eric, a fellow guardsman with me, Cade one of the newer gypsies I met and Father Godfrey, a Valosian priest who I just met that day.

James' apartment had been dressed to the nines to appear as Malyc's lair, and so it did! Dark with ominous sound effects, I almost jumped out of my skin when a voice echoed from all around the chamber: “Hello, kitty.”

He was miked! Awesome!

“I can give you what you want so very badly. Just ask. Go on.”
“What... do I want?”
“You don't want him 'saved? Jediah Frost?'”
“Who ARE you?”
“Come now, can't you tell? With the delightful chaos swirling around us? My dear child, I am Malyc. Now, in what form do you want to see him? Valosian Jed? Andorran Jed? It can be anything...”
“I don't make deals with devils!”
“Oh, I am no mere devil.”

And it went on like that for a bit. He tried to tempt Eric, Godfrey and Cade, but we stood strong! Godfrey was wonderful, speaking bravely with great faith in Valos!
“Valos can't hear you. You are alone,” said Malyc.
“Together our light shines more brightly than you could ever imagine!” I said, joining hands with the others for proper sappy effect.
… At least I hope it sounded that epic! The memory is not what it used to be...

Overall... What a cool scene! So glad to be part of it!
Whoever played Malyc is a straight up gangster. Mad props to you, sir. I don't know how you knew as much as you did, but it threw me enough times that I had to take some time to gather my thoughts! You were AWESOME!

The closing moments of the ceremony were crazy! Pulling a sword out of first Lord Aleister and then my Lady Tartaros was kind of morbid...

Sunday morning breakfast order shenanigans with the invisible narrators... Oh man, Elias... you're a riot. Also, fun healer lessons at the bar!

Another blessed Sunday Morning Constitutional with Jonas and Kayla! We almost died in the snow, because Jonas has good ideas!

My healing lessons with Wylla, though usually enjoyable, proved to be a bit challenging with Karkat insisting on tormenting me in his new mask... Evil bastard! One of these days...

And of course, there was the debacle in solving the mystery of miscommunication between Quan Liu, Belegchand and Karkat and the potential dangers, thereof.

(This is the conversation as best I can remember it.)

Belegchand: Squire Swyft, will you please go collect 10 gold from Quan Liu for this matter he knows of?

Me: Sure.
(Goes to Quan Lieu in the kitchen)
Squire Belegchand asked me to collect 10 gold he says you owe him.

Quan Lieu: Please tell Squire Belegchand that I will be paying that 10 gold to the barony and not to him.

Me: (goes back to Belegchand) He says that he will be paying the 10 gold to the barony and not to you.

Belegchand: Well, will you please tell Quan Lieu that he has to pay the 10 gold to me FOR the barony...

Me: (flailing) OKAY! I'm not going to play this crazy game. I'm just going to get him to come over here...
(Goes to Quan Lieu)
I don't mean to be a bother, but it's becoming an issue.

Quan Lieu: (Puts on hat and storms out.)

To brief the situation, apparently Quan Lieu thought that Karkat was teaching Belegchand something, and so he actually did something Karkat asked... There were claims of mayhem inciting and questions of morality and law... Thankfully, it was worked out without the need of arrest of either, which I am not sure would have gone so well......


Yet another enjoyable weekend. You always deliver, KR, you beautiful, chaotic mix of wonderful people. I can't ever hope to thank-you all enough!

It was a short event for me because I arrived Saturday afternoon, but I had a total blast and enjoyed getting to see everyone!

I had fun playing a little girl crying in the inn as well as a drunken troll and got to debut my alt: Sidhe Sullivan. Sidhe quickly got the lay of the business landscape and learned a lot about this strange and dangerous land she's stumbled into. How dangerous? Well, I'm sure she'll find out.

See you all again soon! It's always wonderful to get a chance to come up, even in the cold!

Cyl;us Crone and I do not get along on many levels. Therefore it was both surprising and refreshing, to have us in complete agreement on two matters. The first was to have a capable scholar do some research into a foolhardy matter proposed by another. We simultaneously said "Mordra would be perfect for it."  We looked askance at one another, and one of us said "If we both agree, it must be done,"

Later, a matter of concern for which we were both qualified to comment came up. I spoke to him about it at the bar. "No one tells me anything" he said, stealing my patented line.

Good talks with Cyndra.

Figuring how to close the fissure. I can take no credit for it, as it was completely done by accident, as I was scrambling not to get dropped. Sometimes, being lucky is better than being good.
