Septemeber 2015 Event Hightlights!!!!

Cookies and quiche were the real heroes.

Hands down, this was one of my favorite events. Matt, thanks again for casting me! It was a blast interacting with the town and the other homunculi, even when the four of us were alone.
Ricky, thank you for the glasses. They really tied the look together.
Lauren F., thank you so very much for doing our make-up.

Being offered cookies from Aella, who quickly realized that she didn't have any.
Describing to Vallius and Brutus what cookies were, as well as pie and constellations.
Coming back to Kaladonia later that night and receiving an entire package of Oreos from Lady Kleidin.
Vallius and Brutus' reactions to having their first cookie.
Quiche and hospitality at Alisandria
Townsmembers' fearful, curious reactions.
Liz/"Ms. Logic" stumping me outside the kitchen.
Having a State Farm moment with Zelretch, Ilana, and Lady Angelica. Like a good neighbor, Ludwig is there?
Karen.

What I really enjoyed, was not falling on my face, at least metaphorically. Almost all of my interactions and conversations seemed to flow smoothly for a change.

At Main Mod, Matt walked over with a white headband and told me to engage the town, so I looked around for a group of PCs that weren't swarmed by homunculi. Finding one, I then unknowingly walked straight into the group designed to defeat me -- Caelvan, Dani, Caldor, and others who soon joined them. Part of the difficulty was hearing what everyone was calling, not knowing the effects of some of the skills, counting up how many defenses I blew, and the rain causing the makeup to run into my eyes-- it brought the "Blinding Fog" to life. Thank you, guys (Conor, Jason/Dani, Gina, Jason/Caldor, Jenna, et al.) for being good sports while beating the stuffing out of Ludwig.

Bill F. had me play a guard that was paid to guard a huge pile of rubble with a door in front of it. Cael soon came over with Kelley's character (I don't think I learned her real name!), who had an arrow in her leg. A short chat, a pleading for help, and I'm lying unconscious outside the door.

There were a decent amount of people who passed by the mod site who checked to see if I was OOG okay. You guys are awesome!

Saturday night, I came back into game around midnight. When I reached the Inn, I was greeted by two merchants being blown from the Inn and knocked unconscious. One short argument later, with a man offering to drag them to the grove so that they could nap in peace, I demanded that they be woken up. Apparently, they were selling vials of dyed water as "potions" that didn't actually do anything at all.

Making this mistake when asked where I had been the last day or so.
Kanas: "Hey, Nalick. Where've you been?"
Nalick: "I was neck-deep in duty."

The meeting of "sharing knowledge."
Chris Z. and Drew, thanks for organizing this! I'm so glad I went and I hope there are more of such meetings in the future. Some of the lores are definitely fascinating.
Chris and Sarah, your teas were quite tasty.
I'm still giggling over some of the moments-- when a candle was mistaken for a mug and when I made someone almost spit-take.
The effects, especially when the special guest left. The RP from everyone was great.

Reuniting with Squire James and Wylla part of the way through the meeting.

Sunday morning, I make the great decision to have a cup of Deathwish coffee and follow it up with a cup of Cael's cold-brew that he's selling in the Inn. No hyper-Nalick, but a tad jittery and a slight difficulty thinking straight.

Cue recently cured Magnus, walking toward the Inn with a huge grin on his face, telling me that "someone said you wanted to have a talk with me." Matt and I may not see eye-to-eye on this, but one can overdo it with the coffee. Still the confession scene happened and its result was different than I imagined.

Sir Caelvan taking Nalick's staff. How I got it back was simpler than I thought it would be.

Bumping into a discussion of Moresca Ball plans and Valanye wanting to know "how balls work."
Nalick: "PFFFFTTTTT!"
Magnus: "DAMN IT, NALICK!"

Pre-game and during-game shenanigans with first-time players.

Beginning Nalick's Master Warrior training and being at once excited and horrified of what's to come in October - a mere 19 days away.

Amazing.

Awesome mini mod that happened

Eating at lords table and then Ricky recalling with the shepards pie coming with

Main mod rain turned it into shirtless main mods bosses

Could barely fight due to magic and psionic stuff

Some FOIG stuff that will be interesting 1 person knows what I mean

Overall had a blast and enjoyed fighting you all

For being super tired and only IG for about 8 hours....gods did a lot of things happen. Here we go...

Friday

-Awkwardness is awkward when fellow guards members are freaking out over the blackbird and I'm washing out their cups. I had no idea what to say. Then reading the letter and being equally speechless. Still having to return the cups lol!

-Walking from returning the cups to the "holycrapwhatisthiswhoareyouwhat?" battle by the inn. Being ordered to put someone in jail. Then going back to the jail to find out the man is gone. Yay confusion!

-Interrogating a cultist! Fun

-More homunculis o.o

-Getting oh so confused about everything. About everrrrrryyythinnnngggg. Also getting dropped BY everything. Just everything.

-STUMPING JEFF! HaHA!

-Interrupting a lord and realizing it about halfway through me talking. Stammering through an apology.

-Meeting the Lord Admiral by running after Lawrence with him and Conner. Finding out afterwards he knew my name and really having no idea how to feel about that.

-Lord of Nightmares! errrr Tears! Well Paranoia. Sure! All of it!

-Learning how to fight greater undead effectively- wait until they are all on top of Oren, then hit them from behind!

-Karen.

-Conversations with Oren and finally a lesson! Where I wanted to dissolve into giggles. God sleep deprivation...

-Sleeping a car is A+ if you have tons of costuming and blankets and pillows.


Saturday

-NPCing a ghost. Being helped finally and all the rp that happened because of that. Will, I think my heart grew even bigger knowing you tried to find their killers.
-Homunculi! Seeing the looks on people's faces when they realized I was running. Right. At. Them.
-I just wanted you to have fun Kelley
-Taking a shower and leaving

I had a great time even if Allyce was pretty darn confused at what was going on. Sadly, unlike Mae, she cant really just go with it being responsible and stuff lol. I will see you all in Oct

* Went out as a bartering goblin looking for a home Saturday morning. Shout out to Morgan Flannery and the player of "Creed" for their interactions, glad you both had fun.
* Got to know Eva, a Wild Magus and a scholar. Enjoyed our discussions about the possibilities of new applications of our magic. I sense a fundamental difference in our personalities, and I look forward to future discussions and conflicts.
* Shout out to the player interested in Wild magi who had the patience to stand and listen to my prattling. If you see this, please message me, and I'll make note of your name! So sorry, I keep forgetting!
* This is for the Tanwyns, Case, Cael, Calvin, Canaan, particularly Calvin: I still feel remorse for the turn of events...Isn't that awesome? Hope the five new players who came along enjoyed being so utterly in over their heads!
* Thanks for the mod, Damian. The attention to detail and prosecute required to finish your mod unscathed was something I have been looking for since I started the game. I hope I am lucky enough to participate in more mods like yours. /brownnosing

My single biggest highlight was making Sarah Brand give me a huge pouting face because I temporarily made her forget her whole card at the scholar meeting as the special guest star.


Beyond that losing money at the adventures guild card games was a fun time. And getting to marshal an intense meeting Saturday morning where my entire crew got thrown under the bus in game by some other pcs was hilarious. Me and Alisia were laughing about that last night so if you were there I promise no hard feelings out of game. And since I don't know in game well carry on!

Management office is best office.

There will be more later, but this one stands out for the sheer "differentness"from what I expected. I was helping Zach as a poacher in Kaladonia Mod, and when the gaggle of PCs came to me, Keavy (I had bet some of the other PCs how long it would take her to slaughter me as I was drawing down on a wolf) came up to me and started giving me an ecological lesson on how wolves maintain the balance and (I tried to interrupt) she went on (and I tried again to interject) and she said, look, I can finally speak calmly and rationally without growling and you are going to hear me out" all without raising her voice.

I was stunned :cool:
