February 2016 Event Highlights!

Arrived Saturday Morning. I am happy that I managed to wear enough layers to barely feel the cold at all! New winter katta couture was helpful.

Got to join in on a fun mod to secure a time anchor from Gaia. Taylor you were such an adorable and concerned Gaia!
Poor Clytie really went through it with the ritual. She was incredible! And it was fun to see everyone being toppled over with the time trips. Whee!


Nalick reading Edwin his story from the Chronicle. That was delightfully amusing!!!! Loved Edwin's expressions and responses.


Talks outside with Ya-ya dissolving when a flood of troll husks came to visit the inn. Had to laugh at Duncan catching me from a body block and then letting me go and saying “GET 'EM!” when he heard me snarling viciously at them. Feral Swyft is fun to play.

Escorting newly blinded (yeah sure, he can see more than he puts on) Jed to the inn a couple of times. Much to my surprise, really. I guess even evil priests get cold.

Disappointed Grimdad.


Absolutely losing my mind when I heard about the shenanigans with the Silverfangs. Sorry to lose my head on you, Ashe and Liz! There's just been an awful lot of moral and spiritual shenanigans going on with Swyft. Thank-you for dealing with me!


Allisandrian Breadbox of holding!


Being grounded to the Alisandria statehouse and sulking about it. (So funny!)


Learning how to sass more. Especially to Evrat...


Ended up at the naughty table at Feast. Oh, Radu.


An official summons for a deliciously sweet heart treat from the baron. He made Swyft blush! Awww!


Indigo telling Swyft that she should go back and call him a big jerk for trying to behead people for grunting. Lol!


Craziest camp cleanup ever. With a lamp sitting on a path. Chris, you crack me up. The official Lightbringer.
“Guys, this is totally cutting into my pre-main mod nap time.” lol

Hearing Billiam and Jed have a debate about theology and morality. Quite a scene...

Main mod was AMAZING, guys! Seriously, that light set up was incredible. I couldn't decide if I should stare at the ceiling or the floor!
Great story, scripting and theatrics!!!!! I loved it! I was utterly riveted by the creation story.
And having us fight in smaller groups is so great-- it really cuts down on combat confusion!

I didn't get to see nearly as many people as I had hoped. Time flies so quickly! Love you all though, it was a pleasure to see you! <3

I'm to tired for real highlights, but short comments:

LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED the armband mechanic. So awesome, so much fun.

Great main mod, loved the fight, loved the cut scene, loved the environment.

Great time on the Eodra mod. +1 to my God Bingo. I will have had met you.

Awesome time NPCing on Elven Civil war mod. So much fun with aftermath, would love to play that NPC again.

Amazing time on Counsel of 12 mod. So good.

Amazing RP, wonderful plot, great story. So much good.

Loved Rabbit Time.

This was better than an A+ event. I need a higher grade. Like its an S grade.

I'm exhausted and bruised-- and I've never been happier. That was a fantastic event, full of amazing role play considering how often most of us stayed indoors.

Highlights:

RPing at the bar. Fighting crap. More RPing at the bar. Guard Bar. Regretting encouraging guard bar. Secretly still loving guard bar. A weekend of guard bar.

All the people I became friends with at the bar over bard songs and copious consumption of alcohol. Losing limbs in main mod. Repeatedly. Thank you whoever kept giving them back to me!

Getting my shoulder tapped on, turning around and seeing the large, intimidating presence of Evret .... and hearing " .. Hi." ?

Did I mention guard bar?

Crowley made two new, stalwart friends that she's quiet happy about. Also she hugged a delightful little rabbit.. which then turned back into Caldor. So that was a fun surprise.

I can't even cover half the awesome things I got to see and be a part of this weekend, but I loved loved looooved all the interactions with PCs and NPCs alike!


... Guard bar. (ForgiveMeAlex! ? )

Oh yeah, and after 2 long years I finally got a long rp scene with Jed again, and finally saw the shack.

Plus mixolydia

Had fun fighting you nerds! Looking forward to doing it again!

Four hours is just not enough time. So said the War Dog too.

Multiple young Dragoon coming to Birgitta. I was caught off guard having just arrived and not with my soul on me. Lol. When the younguns bring to old sword out when the players not ready its a good day to RP!

Demon or Dragon. So much relief. Good for you! I will want more of that RP.

War Dog guards the Baron. War Dog brings the bark to the fight in the bar while Swift growls. Around us and Duncan redirects with a push. The Troll...giving me the stare down. Yeah I don't stare down but I will wait for you to reengage...

Delivering much needed supplies manifest and getting the where the hell did you get that looks...

War Dog does not want to go home with the Caravan.


Learning later I was missed, why I was missed and getting a bit concerned when Klarington has something for you... That... Could be... trouble. Yeah good word that... Trouble. Lol

Being glad I briefed my people there when reports came back on certain subject matters. Catching up at home was a highlight just because...it eased the literal pain of not being physically able to stay.

Event Highlights for this Event...

Friday Night; role play was great, to all there, my bad folks. Onca, you know my plight, I might fight with you at times, but you are the sister I never wanted, jk.

Drew Benton, as beat as you were, you took the time to help myself, and others. Seriously, you went above and beyond, thanks. I've only one more thing to bug you about, and then I promise to leave you alone for six whole months!

Saturday, when I got my breakfast and hot coffee it was, perhaps one of the happiest moments of my life.

Market Faire is getting some new blood. Larry thanks for supporting us. The Tanywns were putting in work, I hope everyone had as much fun as I did.

All the talks that never happened, YOU know who you are. I've come to look forward to our Role Play every event, Sir or Madame.

Thanks for dealing for us Sara, more card lessons if you want them soon.

Matt Defranza, I'm sure there are times you want to put my head through a wall...The work you do is underrated. Your more than just a good marshal, your a real friend.

Helping Gus, Matt D, and Jeff with a sweet Mod for the Adventurers Guild. I always love helping y'all. I hope the players did?( Please toss some feed back in your Event Recaps) Squeak- Squeak!
Ninja Rats, Hood Rats, and Blind Rats, and Gassy Rats. The Newer Players had Jeff and I laughing all the way back to Logistics from that mod, y'all made the cold much less horrible. Gus, you know that I will npc for you anytime. Great mod my man.

Gina, you are the sweetest person at times, you made a few people's day.

Luis and Jason, hot dang gentleman, well done. Feast was great, nothin like a GOOD and hot meal on a cold night. Abby, your my girl, thank you for talking that whole thing out.

Jason Turqman: BRO! Your back on camp for what? Like, ten minutes? You're cleaning up my mess, sorting out drama, and helping others with stuff. I won't forget it. Great to see you again, thanks, and I will rp with you anytime. Love that scene with you and the new mage(sorry I can't recall your name) "That is how you do that." My quote of the month, hands down.

Chasing Tari all around the Proper, I complain about it..."She is standing right behind me isn't she?"

James, as Klarrington, that will be talked about for YEARS! Clytie had me laughing my ass off.

Fighting beside Alex S. again was so much fun, it reminded me of one of our first events, fighting back to back. Glad you were there Alex, it was a lot of fun.

Alex B, wow. So, I'm npcing, and I am doing a somewhat solid job of fighting a few PCs,(my bad again Jason) thinking I'm sort of decent swordsman,then BAM Wormwood is on me so fast, I'm falling back, others try to move in but he is cutting both them and I off, I couldn't follow his lead arm. Long story short, that was one heck of a work out.

Magnus can cook like a boss. Nallick made me use my LAST Prayer Shield. Thanks for the tea and gloves, Logan and Sara. Thanks for the pants...I'm all too aware I'm never going to live that down. (Yes Will, Argyle fought"naked" during the coldest feast of his yet.) All this and more in the Adventurers Guild.

Hey, is that Chance???

JR: that was some of the best role playing I've had in a long time. Thanks for running the game again. Folks, he made a new card game for KR: Saint Astrids Hold Em.

Finally, my best highlight, Logan is leaving for Basic Training in a few weeks, on one of his last free weekends he spent it with all of us. Thanks Logan, and you got this.

This was a great yet damn cold event, one I will not soon forget it. To all those that ran it, thank you for working so hard in this cold. Thanks to the Staff for working when they wanted to play, really that meant ALOT.

I hope to see you all again soon, be safe, be good to yourselves, and each other.

Really bad at remembering things but I'm gunna give it a shot. (This is in no particular order)

There were some AMAZING RP scenes going on throughout the whole event. Rook gets brownie points for her late night drinking RP.

The low player mod was super fun. I hadn't interacted with really any of the players before so getting to work with so many new people was great. I was able to come up with a few ideas along with the other players which felt good.

HUGE thanks to Magnus from taking the book away from me. Even bigger thanks to Caldor for removing the curse from me 3 times... (Love you Caldor <3)

Got a lesson from a rabbit that may or may not have been a certain Northman we all love

Dysentery... so much dysentery

Got to NPC for a really cool mod and I was the fiercest Jaxuarian evar!

Getting to PC in a mod other than the Adventuer's guild mods was so much fun too! (Note to self: work on not sucking so much in fights lol)

I successfully ran across the main room in the Inn to wall of thorns a powerful lich the second he went through the threshold and possibly saved some healers! (Super proud of that moment. Got cheers and everything haha)

All in all an amazing weekend! (sans the weather)

Thanks to everyone that came out and made it awesome and to the storytellers for putting on such a great story!

As a druid I would have to say your squeaks were a bit off (kidding haha). That mod was so fun, love you guys for that. (Sorry Forest for just instakilling and cutting you open over and over <3)

Ok…. Who pissed off Old Man Winter? This is the coldest I have ever been for a weekend of LARP and about the second coldest I’ve been for anything (1990 Hoenfels Training Area in the box- but that involved frz rain…. )

Come to think of it- I think this is the coldest period. And that’s saying something.

Highlights-
Friday:
-Calling Klarington on something said before.
-Me and Magnus sharing WTF-did-he-say looks at the lord’s table.
-The return of The Baroness…. Oh my god, you are sorely missed and I will hope for that walk come the spring if you can come back then.
-Guarding the meeting with Maja.
-A Priest to Priest meeting with Mordra. WE so need to talk more….
-The light snow during the scene at the palisades…
-Getting to bed at 2am…

Saturday:
- Going to get the Mace or “Hey, let the Brazenite speak; he knows more about this than any of us…” Thanks Caldor. ?
-Debating with Lord Silverbow on the merits of interrupting the Malyc/Agurra wedding and which target was the best choice for a flying hammer to the head….
-Talking to Klarington and requesting him to tell me “Where do you think I will be needed?” and the non-committal answer of time not revealing that answer yet…
-Assisting Birgitta in helping a young Dragoon figure out what she is…
-An hour later, Klarington coming to me and stating “I believe you will be needed for the next jump…
-Going to get the Crystal and being one of two PC’s that could navigate all the traps… because stonemasonry/stonecraft.
-Tari’s comment on being damn difficult to find if I had grabbed the crystal. Thank you for that observation…
-Trolls and a growling Swyft. “GET ‘EM!!” Renee, that was just a funny moment. And Melody sooooo had your back on that.
-Post main recap… Thank you Mirwen.
-Telling off Klarington in a quiet manner and scaring the three folks around us who could hear it.
- the later chat with him and extracting a promise on his honor (The man may be a scoundrel and a coward but he *does* keep promises.).
-Angry Brazenite is angry….
-Blackbird drinking
-In bed by 1am because -4 is just #toodamncoldforanyonebutapenguin

Sunday:
-Morning chats
-Helping the Guard… because they needed it.
-Helping another member of Travance find his way into the light and warmth of Brazen’s Forge via discussion and Baptism
-Master Florentine teaching session. I both love and hate fighting dancers… but they learn the dance that is this skill represents really fast.


About the only lowlight for me other than the damn cold was being pulled from main for Medical Issue- but I was the only one available. >.<

Player Safety is more important and always will be with me. Just stunk that I was so important in helping to get stuff for main and could not witness the culmination of the weekend’s efforts.

My third event and the most amazing i've had yet! I finally feel like i was able to find the place in my brain to actually get into Rook's mind, where Rachael was just a little background voice but Rook was actually running the show. And that was so exciting for me as a still relatively new larper!


Highlights:

Getting to learn so many lessons! I think I learned like 6 new skills this game, and every single one I learned was fantastic role play. Thank you to all my teachers, it is so greatly appreciated.

I got a super amazing moment that felt like a scene from a movie. Having a sword thrown to me from the deck of the kitchen while Duncan and I were working on new skills, me catching the blade perfectly in midair and turning to keep going like I caught swords in mid air all the time. But, seriously, i'm usually the clumsiest person ever I never thought that would actually happen. Felt super badass.

BEING SUPER DRUNK TO LEARN TOLERANCE. Highlight of the event, hands down, best 2 hours. It started as a "lets have quick lesson before bed" and suddenly I'm like 10 mugs of ale in and decided to throw care to the wind and go all out. So worth it. I've never played drunk before, and I went a bit crazy but It was amazingly fun. Telling Magnus he's boring and he needs to be spontaneous and i think accidentally causing a mini life crisis (leading to him laying upside on a barrel (and falling off of said barrel). Trying to get Nalick to announce to everyone that he hates fun. Anorra trying to sober me up, Magnus preventing her from sobering me up. Falling out of my chair multiple times, nearly knocking things over. Creepy Bard's fantastic drinking songs. I STILL DUNNO WHO'S HAT THAT WAS AND I WAS SO FAR INTO THE ROLE PLAY I HONESTLY HAD FORGOTTEN IT WAS ON MY HEAD. like, hands down, number one moment of this event. worth all the bruises i got from purposely running into/falling off of things. Thank you Cael for offering to teach me tolerance. I look forward to drinking more with you in the future.

Getting to spend time with my fiance and future in-laws, actually getting to meet Tanwyns I hadn't met yet (I almost know half of their names and faces together maybe I'll actually know them all by the wedding). Also, as Cael and I drunkenly renaming some of his family as parts of a salad was wonderful (Cael/Kale, Coran/Crouton, Cade/Chard, Calven/Collard). I can't remember the rest, i don't even remember if we named them.

Finally getting to go do some fun mods i've been looking forward to for months now! Thank you to everyone for letting me play, and thank you for dealing with the fact that I still don't know how all the in game mechanics work. I'm getting better! Promise!

Rudy giving me shiny things both IG and PhysRep. pretty bird things.

Some how managing to have Rook COMPLETELY avoid the time travel plot. I don't understand. How did i miss it? The closest I came was being in a conversation on friday night about time travel with Klarington Everest, though i said all of like 2 words. Besides that, never once ended up crossing into that. Who knows.

Bunny Caldor! so cute! He ate some of my bagel. I got to pet his ears. yay!

NPCing was fun. cold but fun. Rolled my ankle unfortunately but thank you to logistics for letting me switch to role play stuff after that. Being sent out as Priestesses of Galladel with the goal of selling funeral blanket commodities and holy water, striking out every time we tried to sell it, so finally i gave up on trying to sell it and just started looking for donations to the church and SOMEHOW THAT worked... but they still didn't want my holy water or commodities even as a thank you.... So i came back to logistics with EVERY single item i went out with but with lots more gold.

I'm so tired I can't think, but seriously. Most amazing weekend. So worth the fact that I don't think i've still warmed up to my natural body temp yet. Thank you to everyone that I didn't mention because I'm so exhausted and there are so many of you, but seriously, you made my weekend.


EDIT: Oh, waking up saturday morning to find that I had been sleeping cuddling my gun. Still dunno how it got into my bed (it was next to my bed and to the side) or why i was cuddling it, but i think that may have been the most Rook way to wake up.

Tickling jeff-rat-corpse into puking out a bauble on me, and molesting your ratty corpse for tasty loot was a real delight. Watching you guys laugh was well worth getting Crowley's hands all mucked up !

Seriously though, that mod was a lot of fun. Was nice to see things level appropriate that weren't swinging for chunks of my AP for once. I need to make sure I can attend more of these AG mods!

10/10 , would mod again. Will supply feedback.

I haven't NPCed in a while, so it was refreshing to be part of the Adventurer's Guild mod, even if I was rusty. Getting to ham it up and hurl up loot for the adventurers was a treat when I saw the looks on their faces. Thank you guys for coming out in the cold and using your wit and whatever it was that thought casting "Change Stone to Flesh" on a stone wall was a great idea. XD

Ergos gets a tip of my hat for making my day Saturday. When in Aldric's absence, I hosted Bar Mass, I asked people to raise their glasses in commemoration of Keryth’rina and remembering those innocents lost in war.

What does Ergos do?

He takes off his glasses and hoists them in the air with a smile. Well done on your first event, friend.

Earlier in the day, I'd gone off with Snow and Lotharias (you two are a treat!) down to the lake with a bottle of wine for the candle lighting, but since there was no one there, we retreated to the Adventurer's Guildhall in search of a bottle opener. We drank the bottle amongst ourselves and because of four too many puns, Seamus offered me a mug of his own brew. The rules were simple: I could not sip. So I downed the whole mug and fell about the place, cracking jokes worse than before.

Puns and... other... jokes with Faust, falling off the stool in the bar in laughter with Elijah and Kess, cracking up and sliding down the window at Logistics because of Danielle... The large majority of my weekend was spent laughing my butt off and I regret no part of it.

Saturday night in the Adventurer's Guild, Magnus was cooking a meal and needed oil, which led me to bring some from the kitchen as well as Quan Liu with a bag full of "Valosian Chips" (Sun Chips). He also brought jokes almost as terrible as mine. While waiting patiently at the table, Faust and I fell into a ping pong match of puns.

Marcus! When you laughed so hard and looked like you were about to cry, I knew we became best friends.

Sitting down for a drink with Lois and hearing her thoughts on this month's issue of the Chronicle. Shenanigans. Totally not setting the Baron's copy of the Chronicle on fire--I don't know what you're talking about!

Bringing Alex Blockus' NPC (I think) through the Focus with Thalia, Hazel, and Fenri. Whoa... Being newly attuned, this was only the second or third time I'd seen up-close what the process was like but Alex brought his a-game. Poignant, touching story, great RP, and I certainly wouldn't mind seeing that character again!
To that effect, Ashe's artist rendering that she drew while half-asleep. Amazing!

Clergy RP in Jed's shack. Thank you, storytellers, for herding the cats. It was a great show.

Feeling actually scared when Klarington turned on the town.

Cipher and Cyndra's scene, despite or because of the interruptions. Moral arguments with each of them, in and out of that room.

Cael's coffee.

Staying nearby with Rook and Cael in the Inn to make sure nothing went out of hand and, incidentally, making more go wrong.
P.S. I think Rook of all people would agree that Nalick is a fungi.

OOG Highlights:

• Steve's glee when he revisited Arboreus's card.
• My glee in selecting Arboreus.
• Hot coffee. Hot breakfast. Thank you to all the cooks and kitchen staff.
• Warm and quiet bed.
• Main mod set up. Faila was assisting Verrill and was facing away from the center of the Inn, so I couldn't see anything except Ben during the ritual. When the cut story hold was called I turned to look at James and was blown away by what I saw - amazing and magical.
• On the same topic, trying to figure out how Ben managed to maintain a trembling body during the entire ritual as Verrill held the elven bow. Totally convincing.
• Conversations with players I respect about how to improve RP.
• Getting to RP with some folks I rarely interact with.
• Remembering and using my skills. Definitely not 100% but I'm improving!
• Most important. Getting to see and catch up with friends.

IG high and lowlights are FOIG, except for the fact that Faila made a bunch of people laugh and watching Thalia kick some undead butt.

Friday:

Npc shift
Galadellian Priest leading a flock of starving peasants
Temporal guard trying to hold the line

Came back to town to deal with Grim losing his mind

Saturday:
Wake up to short guard meeting then change into my alt

Actually having gold on me and doing things at market faire

Went to the past as my alt to help with the cyrstal ritual as a new Mage and went through all my magic points

Feast

Was planning on doing main but got asked to help npc as they where short

All the roleplay in the Inn and drunk Rook vs Nalick was hilarious... He would not give her a shiney so she wouldn't sober up.

Overall great event hope I can make March.

When the Baron misheard Thalia calling a skill and invented a new deity.

"Almighty Scone, hear my prayer..."

I can't believe I almost missed this event due to the cold.

My highlights started before game with the endlessly hilarious drive to game. An amazing ST with no fear who got me a pretty paper car you know who you are.

But seriously this game was amazing and I can't say thank you enough. This game pushed me as a player, a person and as my pc. Freaking out oog, having two STs calm me down only for me to suck it up and decide I can do it

Somehow going on 4 out of 5 time jump mods, being the only orange sorcerer to do so.

Sitting around discussing magic and theories again. I really missed that, the sorcerers really talking and working together like times of old.

Actually having the baron discuss battle plans with me,was such a sereal and overwhelming experience, not to mention him being mysterious about responsibility in the future.

Being able to tell individuals what was going on, and feeling or faking confidence in my answers.

Long talks with Maga that may be changing my mind regarding him.

Klarington still owes me two spells.

Loved what the potential future holds, and can't wait to see what could be coming down the line.

Oh almost forgot, getting a chance to interact with many many new people that I have never gotten to before

And potentially planning a civil war over pie vs cake, and having the barons decree on how he would fix that one immediately

Getting surprised by Gene with what my NPC shift would be.

Mixolydia's return, and a few brief exchanges of conversation that were very meaningful to me. Grim remembers his debt to her. And food debt is the most IMPORTANT debt to heargens.

Going toe to toe with Alex as the primary guard of Temporis keep. And taking a direct shot from Maja's song first thing.

Roleplaying the barbarian hurk fest.

Taking responsibility for Travance's bad ideas since 2013. Going completely insane for my troubles.

Meeting Wormwood in the dark, hearing his whole explanation of who and what Grim is when even grim couldn't remember. That entire sequence was brilliant, Alex.

The entire scene with Maja, grim getting fixed by Seneschal Maxwell as various people are reacting to one of the stalwarts of Travance completely mad and ranting with guilt, and the familial and friendship reactions when someone suggests a callous solution to his problems.

The guard meeting, and getting Raise your Flag stuck in my head. I have so many ideas for my crew. So many ideas.

Going into dwarf land and seeing Jason white headbanded and dropping traps on me like what. Even better when I realized I couldn't see them and his expression as I ran into them chasing down opponents.

Missing the other time jumps but hearing about them.

Tea time and lunch time and eating with people I rarely see.

My brief audience with the Baron was deeply amusing and enjoyable. Peace through Strength.

Getting all my back pay.

Yay!

Teaching and roleplaying with faila. Crystal is such a champ of a player.

More roleplay with Orias and explaining some things to him, and hearing his harsh, but thoughtful opinion. Hearing Faila's alternative take.

Eating more then sleeping.

Feast for more eating.

Main mod Aka bill dresses in a white sheet and is a reverse Nazgul during murder rave times.

Post main mod shenanigans as the alchemist bros Andy and Bert. Feldman A+ would improv with you again.

Sleep.

Sunday:

Oren and Grim each dividing off and taking a side as we fought and entire group of undead by ourselves until the reinforcements showed up.

Realizing how sicknasty the lich was and pointing various galladellians and smiths at the phylactery.

Forgetting the words to berserker's wrath.

Learning from Quan Liu and Lord Silverbow.

Getting ideas for a new NPC with Luis. This one's gonna be fun!

packing up and rolling out with friends.

A+ event.

Oh, and my new cloak was wonderful and so was my older one. The best is they have the same trim so I look very much like I have clothes instead of just garb.

I have to say, despite my inability to sleep and the negative temperatures, my first event was among the greatest weekends of my life and I cannot wait to come back again.

First off, shoutout to everyone who made my first weekend so memorable and for everyone who helped me out. Great food along with great new friends made a great weekend. I can't remember all (or really any, actually) of your names, but the company and knowledge and free stuff was really awesome and helpful.

Within my first five minutes of being at the camp, I met Jeff and knew I was in the right place and he helped me set up a halfling named Ergos (that's for you, Caldor).

Within two minutes of lay-on being called, I was hoisted into the air by a madman, which was a good time. I learned a bit about the Phokus and more about how the game works and such. I proceeded to meet a bunch of new people, and I couldn't sleep so I just didn't. Throughout the night I met a bunch of great friends and had wonderful, enlightening conversations, and even got the opportunity to be useful and heal some people after a bit of honor combat.

In the morning I was served a delicious breakfast and had the chance to chat a bit before an NPC shift. The shift was pretty terrifying, considering I had (and still have) no real idea of how to fight, but it was pretty cool to be able to try the combat element and get my ass handed to me on a very cold silver platter. Later I got to go on the new player temple mod with quite a few wild mages and healers, where I got to see: a stone wall become flesh, a few cursed items become attached to their victims, and the consequences of having <5 body total when rocks start falling from the ceiling for 5 direct body each. Oh, and leprosy was a good time too.

Guard bar.

The main mod was absolutely terrifying and amazing, and I fell down a few times in the process. Although I was still a little confused afterwards, it was such an amazing story and awesome fight that I couldn't help but smile like an idiot for quite a while. And after main mod, sleep was quite nice.

I believe it was in the morning on Sunday that I was able to learn how to be a lady with my pretty lady fan. And then fall down after taking a single hit from a lich. And then get cured of leprosy while having Thalia yell at me "You've been in Travance for two days! TWO DAYS!! How did you get leprosy??" After all of those events, I had the pleasure of defending a newly-resurrected commoner from an onslaught of said liches.

Aaaaaand that's not nearly all that happened but it was some of the finer occurrences. I thank you all for making my weekend so phenomenal and I seriously cannot wait to come back to Travance!

~A Halfling Named Ergos

I came. I saw many friendly, frozen faces. I gave many hugs. I received many hugs. I ate cheese. I learned a few skills. I enjoyed Chinese take out in my warm bed afterwards. It was a good event for me.

To all my students, ongoing and single-lesson, this event was totally worth it for all the good lessons I got in. Logan, I hope this was a good send-off before Basic!

Peaches - you continue to narrowly avoid making Lorelai angry, which has endeared you to her.

Crowley - let's be friends.

Lorelai went from being Lorelai [Middle name] Sihnon to being Sister Lorelai [Middle name] Sihnon VonRitter in the space of a month, and then was the only full Shadow Hunter in game all weekend. How did Cameron put it? Field Promotion.

I have to say, one of my highlights was definitely hearing "celerity" on main mod and just being like "HAH". So that was good.

Oh yeah and hearing it was a baronial decree that I can only use 10 commas per Chronicle article from Lois.

Grimkjell Eirson wrote: Oh yeah and hearing it was a baronial decree that I can only use 10 commas per Chronicle article from Lois.

My bad.

Friday night NPC shift, Goose, you rocked that part. Not a damned clue who you were but you did good with the singing.

Jumping a poor fellow who left the inn alone, knowing magnus was 50 feet behind me.

Sockets!!!!!!!!!

Getting to play Nikoli, getting the looks of concern as I attack something in retaliation with something very not good. Not getting arrested!!!!

Temple mod, it was fun, got to use my abilities and all the shenanigans that went with.

Splitting up the loot.

Plotting...

Wait what's going on? what do you mean we have 6 months or 6 years? so wait, we gonna muck with time travel again?

Main mod, Whoa. I was blown away, i felt things, i enjoyed and would definitely do again. Thank you thank you thank you.

Sunday, lessons, crafting and a lich fight.

Looking forward to the next one.

First off, I had MANY people talk to me about how I was insulting Gus about his height, I spoke to Gus over Facebook chat and was severely apologetic because it was the only ammo Fenri had, we talked about it, he seemed OK with it OOG but holy shit the amount of in-game stuff that happened because of that, great job all around to everyone involved!
Back to your regularrly scheduled programming...

Friday night on the bridge as an NPC getting whacked outside of the glowsticks and "no effect, no effect, no effect, no effect" was a beautiful thing to do. Getting encased in ice fairly quickly after that made me almost get encased in ice OOG. Watching that get setup and started was awesome!

When I switched to Fenri and met up with Hazel at the Inn and Grim had a bunch of insanities.....well, that's when Fenri's empathy kicked in, someone told me he was suicidal (I think that may have been Hazel) which made me LOSE CONTROL, I went off on Magnus and Grim, Dr. Tobias and Caldor were both so very close to killing Fenri because if Clytie had not been there and had Grim continued to try to hit people, Fenri would have swung at both of them, OR AT LEAST swung at one of them and died before I could hit another. Funny how losing control and being able to focus on one single individual for empathy really blows up and then as soon as a Nyad gets involved it completely defused me......because.....can't be empathic to someone with no feelings right?

Dr. Tobias running over to me and arguing with me while Grim was having all his issues made me realize how out of control I must have been for him to not work on a patient, Grim has issues, it's "a thing", Fenri gets angry "what the hell is wrong with you Elf". Great RP interactions with Hazel as well, assisting me with the empathy and helping get me grounded.

Once I was back to normal I apologized to EVERYONE and am *SO RELIEVED* that Caldor totally understood and forgave me immediately after I said
"I am training my empathic abilities.." Caldor was back to himself and explained "Say no more, I completely understand!".
Pretty sure Magnus didn't forgive Fenri but, hey, it's Magnus and will probably take me a few years to get any sort of trust or respect from him, if even possible now.

ELVEN CIVIL WAR MOD HAPPENING ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT NOT FINDING ENOUGH QUINARIAN LORE!

Saturday I had an amazing time doing a TON of RP, healer lessons with Hazel, Thalia and Therion (not all at once), Adventurers guild mod clusterfuck with Gus and Matt (sorry to use the word clusterfuck but) - seemed like we had the perfect amount of players and NPC's were VERY ANNOYING without being VERY difficult (my only wish was that they hit a bit harder) - the weather made it a bit uncomfortable torward the end but throughout the mod Zinnia very loudly questioning why we were all being SO STUPID and just grabbing things, ESPECIALLY after multiple people got cursed was great! Golden egg props were AWESOME and I....couldn't resist grabbing one....THEY WERE GOLDEN DAMNIT!

A SECOND NYAD HAS BEEN SEEN BY FENRI MULTIPLE TIMES, ANOTHER BLUE LADY! Props to...uhhhh..... Cratis? Sorry, didn't write it down, love the makeup.

Illana Darkwood becoming a squire of Pendarvin! Congrats!

Hit that point where I realize (and have been told) that the only way I show my card to anyone is if they are wearing a headband and need to sign something.

Sadly, I walked in to main mod about a minute before we all got knocked outside, glad to hear that Humans were created first and after that mistake was realized, far superior races (High Elves) were created
Which leads me to a lot of amazing RP sessions from making various comments to some people, big props to Wulfgar (spelling?) with his rebuttal to when I offhandedly called him a brute, his lexicon was amazing.

Eli and Crowley were so proud; our little hafling was growing up right before our eyes!

Seriously, that was a ton of fun man :) Good on ya' for rolling with it!

This was a fun event to be at, especially since I have missed a good portion of KR. I got back on track, and I was able to be involved pretty well, which I liked. The cold was difficult, but that didn't stop me from doing the dumb.

Coming back to the proper, and hearing that Clytie was being worshiped as a god. Laughing hysterically for god knows how long.
Crazy Chicken. Chicken for days
Getting to see Mixolidia Hartwoode. Knowing that with her here bad things were imminent. Then Klarington showed up.
Going to the Temporis Keep. That palisade was awesome, and the mod site was pretty cool.
Fenri's freakout. Mike, that was an awesome moment.
Paladin chats with Zeltretch and Magnus. I learned a thing.
Being an uncivilized git the entire game. Zero utensils used. Not a care was given.
The armband mechanic was pretty useful. I liked the idea of that to symbolize different points in time.
Fighting pre-drow drow and shaping history by accident.
NPCing as a dwarf during the Dwarven civil war.
Getting to play Tnaach at the dragoon timeline mod. Thank you Garret for that opportunity.
Stank wolves.
Feast. Crazy Chicken. Chicken for days.
Main mod light show and epic story time featuring Klarington Everest.
Stealing Zeltretch's brawlers. Confirming that Oren is really just hobbits in an overcoat, or a group of penguins? It wasn't even stupid o'clock. Just half past derp.
Sport.
Posi Ping Pong.
