October 2015 Highlights?!?!?!?! was created by Terzak (TheArchMage)
This event, as I have said multiple times today, has been the best I've attended so far. I'm dead serious.
I showed up on Saturday afternoon, so let's start there.
Satyrday:
My compatriot and I show up at the Mages Guild tent. Literally thirty seconds after we step out of that tent, the Adventurer's Guild walks straight out.
"Hey, are you guys members of the Guild?"
"Yeaaaaaaaah....."
"You should come with us, we're fighting demons!"
So fought demons we did and did fairly well with it too. I surprised myself that day, I found out that I could fight pretty well without magic. Turns out this would come in handy later.
Then we walked around, ended up at the Inn serving Straughanoff that tasted very damn amazing (with and without mushrooms, because I combined the mushroom-less option with the vegetarian option.)
After that, Main Mod shift was something I can't really describe. We were told to grab armor and grab whatever weapons we pleased. We were then told to go to the Pavilion and stand behind the higher up automatons in a legion-like fashion. We were told to be thorough, but not to be a murderhobo, so that's what we were.
Since I don't quite remember what was going through my head as I portrayed the suits of anger, so I'll describe this how I imagine that the players saw it.
Imagine slowly walking into the Pavilion, where you see five men in grey tabards standing still. As soon as everyone fills out and forms ranks in Travance...they speak. "March."
These five become ten and ten becomes about twenty.
"Okaaaay...." the people of Travance think "That was not a pleasant movement to witness. Alright, let's fight."
So they fight, the people of Travance do and they manage to knock them down. They begin their calls,
"Killing Blow 1, Killing Blow 2, Killing Blow 3, Killing Blow 4, Killing Blow 5...."
But then, something unexpected occurs. An automaton, who had taken to one knee as he fell to the ground, slowly raised his head. It stepped up and slowly walked towards its target.
The others, the other automatons slowly followed suit and returned to the slaughter.
It was undetermined by the army of armor whether the warriors had deactivated them via luck or sheer, swift intellect. They were lifted and dragged into the Pavilion and looted for scrap. Their eyes moved, their processors still functioning as they were dismantled.
Their eyes glowed red....watching.
(Most of that is probably not exactly how it went, but it's how I interpreted
Sunday
Gank Shift.
We went through a series of mods as undead of various strong types...eventually going toe to toe with the very, very powerful people (I only recognized Magnus and Grim.) We fought hard, dropped and watched what happened next.
Pretty much the exact same thing with Galladel mod, only there were two more of us in a larger space. Wield Faith was not helpful.
Alongside some other undead mods, one of my more memorable experiences was with Bardics.
I was Leather (because I wore a straw hat) and I was with Straw (in the leather hat) and we were both wearing the red harlot masks. We ventured between the Tonic and Djinn and Dragon's Claw (neither of which were amused by our efforts.) As for the former, we end up knocked out, thrown out of the door and hexed to be...'attracted' to trees of all things. After going back to the Inn, my friend is blessed by about 5 different druids and I go to find a tree of our very own.
Sunday Morning, we end up looking for Thalia for some reason and as soon as we go back to the Inn, we see a large group
"Hey there, are you members of the Adventurers Guild?"
"Yeeeeaah...."
So we went to an open field after getting mentally manipulated by Chris Zipeto in black and white face paint as the Demon of Pride.
When we reach the field, a brawl between he and the Guild started. What about the minions, you ask?
That's right, no mooks, just Pride. He used a bardic known as "Lyric of Supremacy" which forced the target to do whatever Pride said. Some of the Guild were forced into fighting the others...while the majority were forced to sing to him. He then sang various depressing metal songs in kind and resumed the fight. People began singing voluntarily while they fought for some reason, which really added to the mod, in my opinion. At that moment, Terzak had one revelation. He shouted:
"PRIDE! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUET.....TO THE DEATH!"
He walked towards me and for the first time that event....I was afraid.
"I am intrigued by this challenge. Tell me, who shall be your partner?"
Oscar Winstonshire, my brother at arms, stepped between us and said "I volunteer." I hand him a shield from one of the adventurers and give him a medium-paced beat. After a few seconds, I break into a Travancian version of Another Irish Drinking Song in an accent that I think would earn me a mug of Dragon's Breath. When I stop, he lets out a Mind Blast that knocks me to the ground.
I get up, my minuscule amount of body healed to maximum. I ask for another round and ask him to choose any person there as a partner. He glares at me and utters words of pure malice in front of me. I feel my confidence restored by my brother, Oscar and ask again for another round.
He sings again, describing the futility of life and the power of corruption. I hear Matt whisper to someone "You feel an urge to challenge him to a singing contest."
In the middle of that mod, I stop and grab some waters (since it was hot out and I knew firsthand how draining it was to sing for so long.) The demon falls, exorcised from the mortal man, defeated by humility. There was much rejoicing.
Chris, for every RP point I receive for that fight, you deserve 20. More importantly, that performance fully explained to me what a Roleplay Marshal is supposed to be.
Suffice to say, I enjoyed myself this weekend. I hope my shifts and my other ridiculous endeavors where enough to get that response out of you all as well.
When we cross paths next, Travance, I will be stronger.
And I will.
Have.
Pastries.

Quick highlights.
Being the Plague Drinker.
Feast.
Giving advice to Dr. Armitage.
Brief interactions with Bob.
Meeting a God.
Feeling the Phantom Pain of revenge denied, and hearing from a Paladin that maybe I should contemplate that, as grim. It was kind of an amazing moment, and the mod with Galladell immediately after was just perfect.
Gettin my makeup did.
Chillin in Pendarvin is fun, though Grim is amused by the nature of the vassal meeting. Signals towers seem boring but useful, and a silly thing to argue about.

Man, it felt good to be back.
Saturday...
Got to event in the mid afternoon. Sad I missed Friday night & Saturday morning stuff.
Received many hugs and warm welcomes. Man, it felt so nice to be back.
Tried to get a recap of everything I needed to know & had missed... which turned out to be a whole lot of stuff.
Long talks in the Statehouse with Sylus, Emeline, Edmund, & meeting the newer members of Alisandria. Godric, Mordra, Ketryn, Cyndra, Ludwig, & company... wow.
Seeing Emeline promoted to Warlord of the Barony. Yay!
Fighting in Main Mod... oh man, I was slow, rusty, and horrible. Worse than I normally am.
Switching to Stealth Mode and simply spying on everyone was a nice change up. Also surprise sneak attacks!
Post Main Mod noms in the Statehouse. Goose, you will forever be my hero.
Late night talks... I really learned a lot. I need to congratulate and thank the new members of Alisandria for making us realize we need to change our ways a bit.
Sunday... gorgeous weather. Why couldn't we have that on Saturday???
I'm omitting a lot of stuff, mostly due the nature of them & I don't have the right to share them... but the talks, the "encounters" and other stuff really reminded me why I come to events and why I play.
Can't wait for November event!

Cooo
I was only there on Sunday for Kaladonia mod. Nothing made me happier than seeing people's confused faces when they thought I had been there all weekend and they just somehow missed me.
Thanks to all for the condolences, I passed them on to ree.
Kaladonia mod was incredible. It triggered all ranges of emotions and drove me to its conclusion through curiosity and a driving sense of purpose. All of the npcs, even the random monsters were on point. Leslie and Derek are the only non recurring ones I can remember off hand, but props to all.
Zach, Thank you for putting up with our on the fly ideas. I did not expect to bring an npc through the veils during a combat.
Slay bite rules,bit gets countered with a spine buster.
Tris is now She-Ra Princess of Power
Sam looked amazing and RP'd at an equally awesome level. Bill looked amazingly hideous (on purpose) and RP'd a great villain. Matt Calo continues to play an npc on a level that feels like he's playing a years old Pc.
Excellent mechanic at the end for a true moral call... And thank you for listening to Caldor's logic so I didn't get misunderstood.

Incoherent list of some fun things:
-engaging and executing terrible terrible ideas
-fantastic RP from a number of folks attempting to talk Ketryn out of her really terrible ideas
-So much Ilanna +George drama. Oh my. Ilanna and Ketryn will either be besties or mortal enemies when this is through.
-hilarious retribution shenanigans during adv. guild mod.
-Nalick unwittingly accompanying us on one of those really terrible ideas until he realized what it was and promptly "noping" out.
-Jackdaw crew and Tanwyns, we shall meet again :>
-Congradulating Dame Emmaline on her Warlord promotion and then sulking that she forbade Ketryn from doing really hairbrained things
-actually a surprising amount of RP with Tycho. Cam, you rock!
-regret that I did not get to spend more RP time with Tobias but what time we did spend flat out sprinting around camp trying to pull off said hairbrained things was pretty fantastic
-epically long talk with Billiam about morals <3
Edit: how could I forget the best thing?! Fallow Alisandria mod was EPIC and major props to Joe & MB for the incredible encounter!

So my highlights were simple.
Business, business, business.
It feels so good not being a combat character anymore and allows me to save all my strength for npc duty.
Conversations with Amizar.
Pendarvin Vassal meetings. Arguments between scientists
Learning my new list!
Bartending Dijnn and Tonic.
NPC chats after main mod. I love making people laugh.
One thing I gotta say really kinda opened my eyes to how much I love this community is when people are injured.
I witnessed two injured people in Logistics, and the brotherhood (And sisterhood) of people coming together to help them was astounding. I really love KR and I love all the people who come.
Til next time.

I am a bit sad I did not get to deal with main plot whatsoever until Main Mod. However, all the side plot I dealt with was absolutely fantastic. Ilana finally learned her limit of ridiculous she can handle and that is 7.
TL;DR: Everything was great! Everyone's RP was top notch!
--
First, if I explained how many Willpowers I did not call out loud that I was using strictly because of RP reasons but was certainly spending on my card, anyone with a mental attack would have stuck to me like glue between Friday night-Saturday morning to watch Ilana finally take an effect. I rolled with the plot Judge gave me and had fun honestly. More RP plot always? (Especially when it makes Ilana act different. RPing Depression was a challenge even with it suppressed a few times) If anyone was insistent about why I wasn’t letting them touch me, I simply offered them an arm to poke. The reactions after it was explained what was happening were pretty great (only Ib and Billliamm were stubborn enough I think. Though Bran did get to witness an awkward moment even I wasn't expecting)
Elixir of Life: In an attempt to ‘flush out’ their systems, Ilana and George decided to take Collin’s elixir, bringing Daniel along because Gods knew one of them was going to surge. Unfortunately, Daniel ended up with something unexpected and (un)fortunately so did Ilana. I have had ‘Sylvan Elf’ on my card a few months now and ignoring it to find a good IG reason. Poor Ilana, but now she looks a lot like her mother.
What in the Abyss is Going On?: Just… everything Friday night. A constant barrage of random which was utterly confusing but also terrific.
Remnants of Balfurous: Ketryn and Ilana really are going to be friends or hate each other by the end of this. Kat, I'm very happy to be RPing more with you <3 I had watched Ketryn curiously from a distance before this and having a reason to interact has been fun.
Mother Loves You: I may hate it when people keep secrets from me when they let me know they’re keeping a secret (This sentence is meant in good fun. They know who they are). But, I’m just smart enough to not mention the secret at all
However, I knew this mod meant absolutely no sleep about a month ago and I was pretty much right.
Snake Visit in the Proper: I will not lie, I kind of expected nothing from the friendly snakes between events and when they showed up at the Adventurer’s Guild to say hello during the feast, I was surprised. Convincing everyone to heal them after Tamzyn quick washed them from the porch was a bit amusing. But, the best part was the single snake that curled up onto my shoulder, was immune to mental effects, and simply called a ‘Vanish’ Everyone, and I mean everyone’s eyes went ‘o.o’
That was when Ilana almost broke into a fit of tears, and had to call another Willpower (but, she hasn’t caught on as to why yet)
Visiting ‘Unique’: Judge got woken up and Ilana finally dealt with the Pain Demon problem. When I had an ability approved, I knew I wanted Ethan/Judge to be the reason Ilana got it. So, Judge, thank you so much for going through the trouble of coming up with a mini plot and giving Ilana something interesting to deal with that was a lot of RP. However, no one who Ilana though was helpful after felt Ethan could ever be in trouble because ‘he is literally the weave. He can’t die’. I guess Ilana and co. will have to figure out what Unique is up to on their own. Only a bit sorry so many people ended up on the mod. I really wanted us to obliterate the thing afterwards. Maybe we'll get a chance later (Becky! You looked amazing/RP was fun! Sorry I didn't realize I could easily flirt with you more! Maybe next time!
)
After her influence on Ilana was gone, I very happily ran around enjoying life. And then suddenly realized the Cardinals were visiting!
The End?: A conversation of ties possibly being severed and Ilana revealing a problem she thought she could not find the answer to anytime soon but promised she would one day. (And then, unexpectedly, finding a solution and getting the problem fixed later that night. Oops?)
An Unexpected Visit: Ilana hurriedly set up the Adventurer’s Guild with the altars for the Cardinals and trying to be a proper hostess because no one had gotten anything ready while I was gone dealing with demons. However, it appeared they were not interested in helping her with an exorcisim because of time constraints which caused Ilana to panic. So, she hoped the meeting would go smoothly and plead her case after… until the fighting that was slowly getting closer towards the guild hall happened… and someone mentioned a bear.
Ilana immediately jumped out the door to meet her mother. Which immediately turned into a confrontation of trying to stop her and stop the church from killing her. Fortunately, she got taken down and as Ilana passed by the Cardinals with her mother she simply stated: “And *THIS* is why I need an exorcism” and hearing a passing “Point Taken!” from Windhaven
Godric being an amazing paladin and jumping out the window with Ilana and her mother was also great. (Sam, we need to hang out more IG)
This boiled down to Ilana begging her mother to give her time to 'fix the problem' and being given fifteen minutes. Ilana switched into boss mod and got everyone to set up and finish the ritual in apparently thirteen minutes (her mother was counting) The impromptu exorcisim/battling a demon in the spirit realm was executed brilliantly. Brian T./Cardinal Windhaven running around the room and trapping spells with the Holy Tome like a ninja was also great to listen to.
Afterwards, Ilana and George just hung out in her room and listened to mass (being interrupted briefly by an adorable puppy visit via Raxas) because they were done 'peopleing' for awhile. This also turned into falling asleep through feast.

Main Mod: Short version- Terrifying. Also, did the Paladin's literally DPS Ramular (how do you spell his name?) into the ground or did I miss something. I felt like Drew wasn't out that long at all. Also, helped a new player relax because they were NPCing and panicking a bit (which interrupted me getting murder-faced by I think the Prince. Sorry about that Steve.)
Goodbye LaBelle!: Galladel Mod. Asking for a selfish thing. Reminding someone their spirit was damaged and to heal it. (Later, getting the best description of Ilana: "Of course to her it was selfish. Ilana considers helping others selfish.")
Curing all the 'Astral Plague': I got to listen to bards sing all night and hummed along with them. I loved singing Croi's song the most. It apparently creeped out a few of my unconscious patients. Ilana's got to do something enjoyable while digging into all her friends brains. Soooo many blood samples.
Our True Selves: Serious but relatively friendly talks Sunday morning that I got to listen to.
TL;DR: Everything was great! Everyone's RP was top notch!
--
First, if I explained how many Willpowers I did not call out loud that I was using strictly because of RP reasons but was certainly spending on my card, anyone with a mental attack would have stuck to me like glue between Friday night-Saturday morning to watch Ilana finally take an effect. I rolled with the plot Judge gave me and had fun honestly. More RP plot always? (Especially when it makes Ilana act different. RPing Depression was a challenge even with it suppressed a few times) If anyone was insistent about why I wasn’t letting them touch me, I simply offered them an arm to poke. The reactions after it was explained what was happening were pretty great (only Ib and Billliamm were stubborn enough I think. Though Bran did get to witness an awkward moment even I wasn't expecting)
Elixir of Life: In an attempt to ‘flush out’ their systems, Ilana and George decided to take Collin’s elixir, bringing Daniel along because Gods knew one of them was going to surge. Unfortunately, Daniel ended up with something unexpected and (un)fortunately so did Ilana. I have had ‘Sylvan Elf’ on my card a few months now and ignoring it to find a good IG reason. Poor Ilana, but now she looks a lot like her mother.
What in the Abyss is Going On?: Just… everything Friday night. A constant barrage of random which was utterly confusing but also terrific.
Remnants of Balfurous: Ketryn and Ilana really are going to be friends or hate each other by the end of this. Kat, I'm very happy to be RPing more with you <3 I had watched Ketryn curiously from a distance before this and having a reason to interact has been fun.
Mother Loves You: I may hate it when people keep secrets from me when they let me know they’re keeping a secret (This sentence is meant in good fun. They know who they are). But, I’m just smart enough to not mention the secret at all
However, I knew this mod meant absolutely no sleep about a month ago and I was pretty much right.Snake Visit in the Proper: I will not lie, I kind of expected nothing from the friendly snakes between events and when they showed up at the Adventurer’s Guild to say hello during the feast, I was surprised. Convincing everyone to heal them after Tamzyn quick washed them from the porch was a bit amusing. But, the best part was the single snake that curled up onto my shoulder, was immune to mental effects, and simply called a ‘Vanish’ Everyone, and I mean everyone’s eyes went ‘o.o’
That was when Ilana almost broke into a fit of tears, and had to call another Willpower (but, she hasn’t caught on as to why yet)
Visiting ‘Unique’: Judge got woken up and Ilana finally dealt with the Pain Demon problem. When I had an ability approved, I knew I wanted Ethan/Judge to be the reason Ilana got it. So, Judge, thank you so much for going through the trouble of coming up with a mini plot and giving Ilana something interesting to deal with that was a lot of RP. However, no one who Ilana though was helpful after felt Ethan could ever be in trouble because ‘he is literally the weave. He can’t die’. I guess Ilana and co. will have to figure out what Unique is up to on their own. Only a bit sorry so many people ended up on the mod. I really wanted us to obliterate the thing afterwards. Maybe we'll get a chance later (Becky! You looked amazing/RP was fun! Sorry I didn't realize I could easily flirt with you more! Maybe next time!
)After her influence on Ilana was gone, I very happily ran around enjoying life. And then suddenly realized the Cardinals were visiting!
The End?: A conversation of ties possibly being severed and Ilana revealing a problem she thought she could not find the answer to anytime soon but promised she would one day. (And then, unexpectedly, finding a solution and getting the problem fixed later that night. Oops?)
An Unexpected Visit: Ilana hurriedly set up the Adventurer’s Guild with the altars for the Cardinals and trying to be a proper hostess because no one had gotten anything ready while I was gone dealing with demons. However, it appeared they were not interested in helping her with an exorcisim because of time constraints which caused Ilana to panic. So, she hoped the meeting would go smoothly and plead her case after… until the fighting that was slowly getting closer towards the guild hall happened… and someone mentioned a bear.
Ilana immediately jumped out the door to meet her mother. Which immediately turned into a confrontation of trying to stop her and stop the church from killing her. Fortunately, she got taken down and as Ilana passed by the Cardinals with her mother she simply stated: “And *THIS* is why I need an exorcism” and hearing a passing “Point Taken!” from Windhaven
Godric being an amazing paladin and jumping out the window with Ilana and her mother was also great. (Sam, we need to hang out more IG)
This boiled down to Ilana begging her mother to give her time to 'fix the problem' and being given fifteen minutes. Ilana switched into boss mod and got everyone to set up and finish the ritual in apparently thirteen minutes (her mother was counting) The impromptu exorcisim/battling a demon in the spirit realm was executed brilliantly. Brian T./Cardinal Windhaven running around the room and trapping spells with the Holy Tome like a ninja was also great to listen to.

A lucky find Friday night that got Swyft and someone else out of a dreaded scolding...
Fighting incredibly difficult creatures beside Magnus and getting mad that I was too weak to do better against them.
Bringing Magnus through the Phokus...
What a deep Veil of
Conviction that was.
Interesting chats with Jed and the random people at the shack. My favorite quote: “You know Swyft, I'm gonna' miss you after I kill you.” lol. (Indigo pointed out that was compassion... sorta'...)
Masterful warrior on-site training with Indigo and Trexler!
Meeting Altarus Deathbringer... and making yet another Dark Paladin friend.
Steve's elegant duck onesie. Better when he was eating cupcakes, sadly!
Fighting undead in our pajamas... Batman and Naked Jun!
All of the mods Saturday. ALL of them!
Vedrane Blade stuff!
Deep talks with Kenneth and Artorus about morality, law and what's Right.
Nalick's/Geoff's beautiful and gift to Swyft! She will wield it with honor!
The hilarity of seeing people haul ass when there was a giant wave of flame shooting after them during one of the early mods on Saturday!
Zipeto's Lord of Tears shenanigans in the inn on Saturday.
Gamblor and Croi's marriage announcement!
Breaking Goose with my panic trying to remember the name of my mental defense. Hehe...
Brisket with Birgitta, Donald and Amalthea
Laughing so hard with Yaya, Wulfgar, Imrahil, and Nalick while waiting before Main Mod. Oh my goodness... I couldn't even breathe.
Main Mod was a bit rough. I didn't function too well in the front line against so many superior tags...
Creepy Malycites late, late Saturday, especially the one that wouldn't stop chasing me!
Another morning constitutional with Jonas!
The Genie in the lamp... (Steven you were so funny!)
Poor Nalick getting attacked randomly for his master warrior lesson with Magnus. I enjoyed poking at him on Sunday morning. <3
Learning Cavalier with Donald
An interesting conversation with Ketryn and a possible death defying adventure to someone's house...
Coffin shield lessons with Aleister... “Don't break her shield... or her spirit.” - onlooker
I am probably forgetting things, but not on purpose! Each and every one of you make my KR weekends a burst of positivity that fills me with joy. Thank-you all! :)
