October 2015 Highlights?!?!?!?!

Man I forgot the duck onesie. How the heck could I forget the duck onesie.

Well this was my first event ever, and I must say that it was a ton of fun. I met so many awesome people and felt welcomed and included throughout the weekend.

As for the highlights, possibly the funniest thing for me was seeing the looks on peoples faces when another Tanwyn introduced me as yet another Tanwyn. For those that are not aware, my character is the blood-cousin of the Tanwyn's, our father's were brothers (just to clear up any potential confusion).

I loved NPCing the main mod, especially given that the automaton's we were playing were so powerful that my PC wouldn't have stood a chance - not that I wouldn't have loved trying, though. Then we had 2 different adventurers guild mods which were both focusing on demons but couldn't be more unique. It was also great to be in the middle of a fight and see other players running up to fight alongside us.

In short I will definitely be returning, maybe not November or December, but that's still up in the air. Thanks again to all the awesome people I met this weekend for making it so much fun despite the weather!

Having my Myspace post from the first age resurface.

Also cutting an Indiana Jones style boulder in half.

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 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.

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.

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!

First time playing my new character and first time playing after almost a full year of hiatus. I have to say with the exception of a migraine on Saturday I had tons of fun. Some highlights for me.

It was great seeing everyone again, and of course seeing a few new faces!

Friday Night NPC shift:
Zipeto- best NPC shift I've had so far. I thoroughly enjoyed playing the Tricksy Trickster NPC. I even learned a few new riddles along the way. And to the bar tender who stumped me with one of her own, after truly thinking about it. It's when its ajar.

Saturday Daytime:
It was fun hanging out with my new IC family the laughs were flying everywhere, I can't wait to see you at the Ball and next moon. Super excited about that. I promise to keep my excitement in check lol.

Saturday Main MOD:
It was fun hanging back with the healers, although nerve wracking at times due to all of the superior tag lists being tossed. But it was still fun. I wasn't really sure what was going but I'll make sure to pay closer attention next time.

Sunday:
Again Zipeto great job with that Pride Mod I had sooo much fun with that. Not sure who planned the mod but kudos to them as well.
