February 2016 Event Highlights!

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 )

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 )

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.
