June 2015 Event Highlights!

This event was awesome. I had a blast. Highlights in no particular order:

-Wylla losing her first life tag and the RP that surrounded it.
- Guard promotions!
- Drinking at the stump. Those were some pretty terrible ideas, haha.
- Having a torturer lesson done on her.
- Sparring with Atrus
- All the back rubs
- Patrolling with a large number of guards for once
- Bringing gypsies through the focus
- Arguing with a very agitating Sylph outside the inn
- Managing to piss two people off at once with one sentence
- Having her dead body carved up
- Setting off traps at the barracks
- Healing a mod boss
- Said mod boss knocking her and Nalick out as they ran to the barracks
- "PLANS!"
- Wylla getting knocked out during main mod and passed around during the fight to wake up very confused in where she was.
- Comforting Nalick and yelling at her sister
- NPC Orcs. First time actually having to use verbals and spackets. I had a lot of fun doing that!
- Trying to knock spiders off the ceiling with her staff
- Legion! Legion was awesome!


I know I am forgetting some things but this weekend was a blast. Hopefully see you guys in July!

Playing bar keep getting people drunk. Crying like the peasant I was at the sight of the corpse spiders.

Helping in the kitchen. Very tiring stuff.

Travancian water camel

And along came a Spider...

I thoroughly enjoyed playing the killer among you. Loved all the many interactions, stories, confessions and judgements. There are so many highlights that effected the outcome of the event listing them would take hours. I went in with no preconceived list of targets. I was allowed to let the RP drive the responses. The result was a complete loss in the contest that the Crusader did not know even existed until it was revealed in game.

In no particular order. Kanas, Mother Elle, Lady Silverbow, Clyte, Gothe Caldor, Templar Bat, Belechand, Lady Klieden,and a host of others spoke of their coming to Travance the Temperment of its people, its ability to band against outside threats its self governing monitor of itself and its ability to accept and change others who come here. I applaude every small powerful and long interaction set. Those who were nervous when stalked and listened too when word came out. Trying to balance the mottled soul gave more than a few reprieve. You know who you are...

The change of 'sides' seemingly four times. Just keep the faith...

Rainbows that are a ring and the ring of Galladel. The shock when people realized a killer walked, talked, smiled and laughed with them.

Telling His Grace, the Lords, Ladys and others that those she had met in Travance simply did not qualify. A confession that was easilly as truthfilled as the first time. The wrong questions that were asked.

The truths that were freeing.

You dont know do you? I knew you'd get away. The half hearted follow up.

A gift of a common shield.

A boat in the night and the burning of the others behind.

I know where in the world the Phocus is...now. If he sends me I will go.

Truly it was a pleasure. Thank you Chris Zipeto for the honor of a main boss 'bad guy'. Thank you to the player for the rockin off the wall out of the box head twisting RP matched stride for stride. I applaude you all! I love you guys and gals. Keep on being GREAT!

Love,
Mother Cassidy. Your Momma Cass

Congratulations to Chris for running a great first event! I'm so glad you were made a storyteller.

What I enjoyed most about this past event were all the one-on-one and small group conversations I had with people:
The totem divination with Keavy
The heart-to-heart with Thalia/Talia (The Romani, not the bartender)
Drunk at the bar, regaling Brannoc, Verrill, and a few other people with the tale of Nalick's... err... inconstancy late last year.
A short walk with Verrill where I hinted at Nalick's backstory.

Saturday night shenanigans at the Bloody Stump, due in large part to Josh LaBar's hilarious gambler NPC "Frankie the Fish." To that effect, I made the mistake of introducing myself to him as "Father Nalick" and he rolled with it. "Hey, DAD, where's mum?" You and Shane were fantastic.

When someone ate the last pickle out of the jar, we came up with the idea to take shots of pickle juice. Then came the idea to add lemon juice to the shots and the "Terrible Decision" was born. You're probably saying "eww," but it was delicious.

Losing my s*** and unable to stifle my laughter while making someone a PB&J sandwich.
"Nalick, what's wrong?"
"I've lost control of my knife!"

All of the ensuing facepalms. All of the terrible jokes that night and poor Zelretch's reactions to them.

My first-ever Nobles Meeting. Holy cow. Gina as Dame Arden calling Jacob Reese "the spider man" and The Count/James holding himself together while everyone else starts giggling and Lord Tartaros/Steve loses it.

Winning the gelatin-eating competition Sunday morning, in which we couldn't use utensils. So much for quashing rumors of Nalick being a halfling.

The small cup of coffee I had on Saturday afternoon that sent me zooming around with a big grin on my face.

Teaching "Nocturne of Soothing Sounds" to Billiam, because he wanted to resolve some situations with a song instead of his fists. "Pleasant surprise" is such an understatement. The best part was when we needed Kanas to get angry enough to be a proper recipient for the song. Billiam's insults weren't nearly good enough, but Nalick's pun sure did the trick:

"Kanas, did Jonas Kane get everything he wanted for Yule? Clothes, but no cigar!"

Thankfully Billiam already had Kanas in a headlock.

My habit of walking alone at night may be over. Dunn, Wylla, Cade, and I walked toward the Bloody Stump late one night because Dunn had to fetch something (as it turns out, a pack of cigarettes. Clearly plot wants you to go cold turkey, Dane). We get to the field by Ostcliff and necro blights come charging up to us. Everyone's standing in a circle and I start the Lyric of Refuge. It's going well for a couple of seconds, but I'm OOG tired and forgot the words to the song I was singing. I paused to try to remember them, but the rules for the barrier are that I have to keep singing to maintain it. As such, the barrier comes down and so do we.

To think, a Malycite prayer (Curse of Madness) may have saved an Andorran priest. Anyway, Morgan saves me and we walk down to the phocus with three spirits in-tow. Nalick has a minor breakdown outside the Barracks while waiting for Wylla to come out. Tessa tries to comfort him. All Nalick can do is blame himself, but Wylla comes out and immediately forgives him, telling him he did all he could do. Quoth Nalick, "Why wasn't it me?"

Funny conversations with Papa Gypsy, and him buying me breakfast on Sunday!

The Guard meeting and not only getting promoted to Corporal, but being assigned to Grim's group consisting of Croi, Swyft, and Nalick. "Hug Squad" is a go.

Some of my favorite moments happened on Friday before lay-on. Wandering and joking around with everyone who showed up early. Going for a ride with Will and Tiff in Will's Jeep and getting into my seat in a novel, exciting way. Who knows, I might go Acrobat after all!

Now I'm off to check the date of the next event and let out a sigh.

Oh you know...Just your friendly, Neighborhood Serial Killer.
