Septemeber 2015 Event Hightlights!!!!

This event was fun, involved, emotional, and non-stop. Sleep is a luxury I couldn't afford.

Ostcliff Module was fantastic. Amazing player ingenuity, growth, and trust. Bravo!

The return of The Circle of Ten.

Dealings with Lord Silverbow and Sir Huergar and Rane. Looking forward to see where this goes.

Everything involving Orophin and Ava. Politics at it's finest with everyone involved. Bittersweet to the end. I will miss my friend and waifu.

All the Sciencing with the Homoculi.

Almost exclusively fighting Brutus all Main Mod, Calm has never felt more useful! And Oren batman-esqueing his cloak to give me and another more shadows to hide in.

Circle of Ten Part II but had to leave for my shift.

As alas missed the scholars meeting because of my shift.

Scaring Blacktree to death.

Playing with Turtles.

Meeting with the Tanwyns.

Playing with Cards.

And now next month: A lot of old loose ends can get tied up.

Thank you everyone I interacted with all weekend. In even the smallest ways it was meaningful. I probably can't remember every small detail as my brain is still fried. It was jam packed with stuff to do and I'm STILL doing stuff from the event. Feel free to send me PM's and keep the rhythm going. I have coffee.

I want to say a special thanks to everyone involved in the events leading up to and the scene with Orophin. We've been waiting for over 6 months to finally have that happen. It was tense, nail biting, and overall emotionally difficult. I paid for my seat, BUT I ONLY USED THE EDGE.

So.... that was my first time.... will they all be that fun?

Seriously though, that was a whole mess of fun. My highlights include;

- Getting trapped in a tent by a swarm of Homunculi in what has to be the most zombie apocalypse like thing to ever happen to me.

- Going "What if I just sit down and had a drink with the boss monster?" (something I've done before in games) and having it actually work. Leading to me getting invested in the story of the four brothers. (I seriously wish I had seen that through, but I really thought "Okay there's no way we can turn the boss monsters from the main battle in a boffer LARP to our side." And then you guys did! Like wow, it is such a refreshing joy to find a game where role playing can shift how things play out to such a degree, I can't wait to come back and really dig in now that I know, rather than playing it safe and staying back to watch.)

- Getting a party of a dozen players to follow our NPC party of (let's face it, kind of terrible adventures) into the woods to go on a quest that we had long since failed to put our spirits to rest.

- Going on a mod that was definitely *not* built with first time players in mind and some how being one of the only survivors.

- The final battle against an army in the middle of a rain storm, how cinematic can you get?

- Late night completely ineffectual pirate ghost fighting in the Inn. (thanks for doing actual ghost fighting Witch Hunters)

I had a Blast this event, first one in 6 months i didn't have to work saturday.

Great lesson from Mark B who made a cameo. Thanks.

Rolling bones sunday morning

You went to BOLTON'S???? sigh.... that was dumb.

chats all over the place with the things and the people, especially the people i hadn't really talked to that have been there (ya'll know who you are)

Tanwyn family, you guys are great. Absolutely love the interactions with you guys and ya'll will be a scary bunch to cross when you have been around a while.

there are more but if i kept typing i'd be here all night, suffice to say i had a blast.

The best event I've attended yet.

Friday night:
Thanks for the gift, you know who you are
The letters that fell from the sky...thanks lideous
Cade :"We got the homunculi sword. "
T'soli: "Well at least it's not a liches philactory!" *ensuing laughter*
The homunculi attacking the inn were awesome and so was everyone that fought them off.
Saved my big brother Cade from an invisible assassin. Him making up for it by having Edmund forge us twin daggers. A gift I'll never forget.

Saturday:
-Missed an appointment, damnit.
-Did some bartering with Ginooki at market faire
-thanks for the Astral essences, you know who you are.
- Caldor simply amazing me speaking of protections and runes over coffee in the inn.
- Jackdaw and his crew, goldfinch and haren. Sorry about Saturday night!
-thanks to everyone who got me back to the inn in time before my spirit passed. to the physician who reanimated me, I forget your name, but thank you. I'll have fun with my "side effects"
-this is to T'soli and Dmitri, thank you for the lessons, especially the ones learned the hard way, Dmitri. I absolutely crave the RP with you both. This is my apology, I've come to view the both of you as mentors and can't help but feel like I let you down in at least some way. Thanks for your patience.

Sunday:
Damien, thanks for the mod. It was a truly humbling experience, thanks to everyone who ventured into that cave with me and your commitment to making it out alive. Cade, canaan, baxter, Vladimir, Viktor, Sébastien. It was truly a death trap.

Then there's Sunday. I should have just stayed in bed.
I decided to help some Gypsies get to a MOD site that went into a dark cave to get some dagger or something. While feeling around the wall to guide myself through the darkness, I triggered a trap that knocked me out and sliced my leg off. I returned to consciousness and tried to crawl away from the madness. I had them strap my leg onto me, which was all the help they gave me. I was crawling away, yes...But You should still probably try to help me in SOME way. Buuuut...No. They left me for dead. So I crawled really really slowly back to civilization...Twice...Got my leg fixed up, and went OOG for cleanup.

Sébastien, if I recall correctly, this was the only help you had requested. You knew the risks. I caught a life tag if it makes you feel any better.

Thanks to Willa and peonis for guiding my spirit to and through the focus.

Viktor, no apology necessary. I should have led us through the cave better. Always a pleasure. Interacting with you. It seems as though the bond we share is beyond being Romani.

Thanks to everyone that I had even a moment of interaction with. And for welcoming the tanwyn clan into this world the way you have. Five events in and KR has become a place that I truly love.

"Ah, the infamous Tanwyns."
"I haven't heard the infamous part."
"I have."

OOG:Jared Yampolsky

KR politics the Art of the Possible meeting threats resolutions.

KR the Land of Free Thinking Discovered. Main mod! Effecting an outcome. Feeling a part even when missing out in the rain.

KR the Dragoon Holiday - cairn decorating, introductions, history,

KR the teaching sessions - history logistics two hander techniques.

KR the drowned cold. - my personal lowlight as I had to miss a mod because of wet cold body pain.

Totally great game. Wanting more.

+1 awesomely intense Huntress RP with Kit right after lay-on. Gah, I can't gush enough.

+1 incredibly intense lesson with Cyndra. Wheeewwwwwww. You took my character through all of the emotions. So much yelling. So many feels. Confrontations involving deepest darkest fears.

-I'm sorry I missed Alisandria mod this time but hopefully I'll get another chance. I heard it was awesome. RP with Kit was worth it though.

-Participated in Main Mod this time as Ketryn instead of an NPC and actually felt mildly effective (not totally at risk of death at all times) on the battlefield. That's a first. Maybe I won't always hang back so much in the future.

-"Ketryn, come back here. You aren't suppose to wander off anywhere. Stop wandering off! Again?!"

-I spent about half the event with one eye covered up and absolutely no weapon wandering around in the midst of homunculi hordes and did not take a character death so that's something. I did admit to a sense of personal relief when Lord Blackthorne finally permitted Ketryn to have a dagger again. Whew.

-"I will break your little twig legs if you show up here early in the morning as an NPC bard" Teehee

-Oh Ilanna

-Oh Keavy

-Oh Lord Gideon

-Being asked to "come immediately to the Nobles meeting with all of your letters," gathering up all of Ketryn's copies of her blood-smeared personal notes, realizing halfway there and saying "Whups. Uh....Wrong letters. Hang on. I think they meant the OTHER letter" and then running back to get the right letter...

-Massively awkward Feast sitting between Lords Gideon and Blackthorne and looking all wide-eyed

-Lady Blackthorne answering the door to Homunculi and then immediately feeding them tiny quiche pies. "How did you stop the fight?" "Quiche."

-Both Victors, being awesome, chatting late at night
