Event Highlights June 2016

- ran a mod that included a dead body (garbed up 70 pound grappling dummy) fun seeing their faces

"You're looking a little spooky this morning"
Hahahah favorite part of my weekend you know who you are.

Ostcliff totally killed it at main mod. potatoes the construct in about 40 seconds, proceeds to wait for everyone else to finish. Thought I picked the wrong land after the food in Kaladonia. I was wrong. Team tater for life

Giving Miranda paladin heart wine while she was sitting next to Fiona was probably the the biggest gamble I've taken as a pc, figured she'd love it or kill me. No in between. Apparently it paid off.

Standing next to josh Labar waiting to go down the hill during main mod and coming to the sad realization that Damien Is calvens best friend, and the laugh we both had over it.

Forest and Sarah (Lilith)you guys are the best

Josh L, I truly enjoy every interaction that I have with you, be it IG or OOG. As long as we're both at an event, you will forever be in my highlights.

Greatest Larp high I've ever had. Deeply, one of the best events of I can recall. The staff has been through an awfully lot lately, trying new things, seeing what works, and stepping up some of thinks we face. This event, I feel was the fruit of their labors, thusly, some of the sweetest! So much work went into this event, from some so many of the community, it was all worth it to me. Some of my highlights are as follows;

Speaking with the Baron, always on point, clear, meaningful role play I hope to aspire to. I was nervous, scenes like are not easy to plan for, and off the cuff. Thanks for ques, and followed as best I could.

O. Nesterin, great work. I love role playing with you, when we actually can. Emotional stuff, I always want more than want we get.

Magnus, and all the funky stuff he pulls. Matt I can't thank you enough.
Watching Higgins fight, hearing about, and not joining in on the fun. Hey, always next time right? It's an honor to have you back.

Meeting with the former Baron, that man lives up to the hype.

Haroldson blowing my mind, that wasn't what I thought it was.

FEAST! Great job. I loved it.

Rook, and the rabbit holes we fall into. Role Playing with you, IS an adventure. I can't wait to see what happens next, or maybe we should?

No Witch Hunting! I seriously needed the break, oog. I was told, and I listened finally. It was refreshing, next challenge is to see if I can sleep before dawn. Thank you to everyone who helped with that. It was great for my character development and was 100% Organic. (SARA YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID!)

Steve and Tori, if I can even help you two I will! Easiest Contract Ever! I really can't say enough positive things about running about with you. I had the time of my life this weekend.

Seeing a man that changed my life, I'll never forget that. Nuff Said.

Brother Damien, Lawful Evil Softy

Peaches, your one of the best scouts who ever scouted. Good Work.

Jackdaw and Co, I love you people. I needed a laugh. I lost that bet y'all, thank you.

The hunt for Mistress Jade, and people say I'm hard to find.

Great times in the Blackbird.

Singing in the Inn Saturday morning! Thank you everyone who clapped. I haven't preformed in front of people since my brother passed away. It gave me the confidence to finish the song for the RP. You all rock!

Blood Spirits doing alot! You all are great, I'm proud of each and every one of you!!! You all do so much for us, and others! I hope we can keep up the pace.

Meeting the Bentons. Great times. I can't wait to see the pictures.

Miranda and all that was. I'm proud to have been welcomed to role play with you all. It was some of the best ones of my time with you all at KR. The small pub crawl, everything else that happened. I don't even know how long we were all out there.

Sara, you've become a great friend and truly inspiring role player. I hope can continue to do this with our friends and family for years to come. You killed it out there this event, not just as the Queen of Freaking Darkness.

I'll end this with my FIRST time EVER quote of the event this year: "OF COURSE MIRANDA SMOKES!" - Squire Annora

Ven, Caldor, Karkat, Cy, and Magnus. Thanks for having my back, it meant more than you know. Argyle would have been done if not for each and every one of you.

There so many details of this event I can't delve into here, remember, or put to words with ease; which is sort of sad and amazing. We made life long memories this weekend folks. I am enlightened for it.

Tanwyns, being...Well, the Tanwyns

Connor, you know what's up.

No Brainer here, but Sara your my NPC of the Event!

I hope see you all on the next, epic adventure in July. Until then, PLEASE DO EVENT RECAPS!

Another event come and gone. It was wonderful to see everyone again, really wonderful without the beard. Gave me time to really focus on character stuff.

First things first! I was a Boss for main mod!! It was my first time and I was pretty nervous, kinda wish I picked up a second weapon, but meh it's all good. Thank you guys for having fun!!

Swimming in the lake was awesome! Things are always hilarious down at the lake.

Talking to different people about different things, getting to really explore Dunn's motivation was very nice, feeling like I'm finally getting some more direction with him.

The Miranda reveal was frickin' swwwwwwweeeeetttt!!! The conversation afterwards in the Inn also awesome. Edmund trying to quietly smith was hilarious.

ALLLLCHEMMYY!!

Til next time. Peace.

Okay, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING IRL OBSTACLE CHALLENGES FOR MAIN MOD. my absolute favorite experience in main mod ever. I absolutely adored that the tag skills didn't let you get through the challenge, they only supplemented you if you messed up IRL. 15/10, would do again. Please do again.

THANK YOU to all of the storytellers, marshals and staff for this FANTASTIC event.

Okay, now that that is said. This was a super super weird weekend for Rook. Absolutely NOT how I expected to be spending this event. At all.

After two small issues of not being able to go on mods I wanted to do, ending up on a totally not expected mod was just..... Weird. Rook is still super confused about what that was about, why she was there, and more importantly.... Why her brain didn't let her leave when they offered her an out. But she's also super super curious about where this is going to take her. But 100% fantastic RP, super cool to see another side of Travance that I never have before. Thank you Argyle for dragging my sorry ass in there. Both love you and hate you right now. Also, Steve- I'm so sorry I keep accidentally your character. I swear I'm not trying to.

Team Soul Gauntlet- it was fantastic being able to work with you. You're all amazing people and rpers. My feet are numb after running that course over and over and over, but it was absolutely worth it.

Amazing RP with Lorelai. My top RP of the game. All which started because rook was standing in the wrong (or maybe right) place at the right time to hear Lorelai ask jackdaw if he's ever killed a child or watched a child die. Rook went to a super weird place and somehow ended up bonding slightly with Lorelai over it. Congrats, onca, you now know more of rook's backstory ig than 99.5% of Travance, and you got her to agree to do something I Oog had sworn to myself Rook wouldn't do. Probably the most emotionally raw RP I've had to do yet. Rook's mannerisms slowly regressing to be slightly more childlike as she had to remember things she tried to block out, sitting there just picking blades of grass and staring at them hollowly as she talked and listened. I'm so looking forward to future RP.

Puppet count!! The Count meeting Puppet Count. So amazing. I was dying laughing. "Make sure you use the guilty side more. Cut off people's heads!"

Winged victory as usual, I love you guys. Thank you all for making feast service run, especially once I had to leave to go NPC.


Sisters reunion is what I've been looking forward to the most in the last few months, and I was not disappointed. Absolutely amazing RP with Sara, in case anyone was wondering that was 100% improvised. And so perfect. Sara you are absolutely phenomenal as Miranda, every mannerism and action and word was just 200% on point.

Walking over to the obelisk and taking Miranda's hand and after everything happened, having her just squeeze it in the most sister like way. It was beautiful.

All the people who asked us questions, thank you!

"You do not disrespect my sister that way, I'm the biggest bitch at this table. Now leave". Phenomenal.

Talking with the Paladins. Answering their questions and trying to assuage their worries about what happens next.

Breaking Annora!!! Karen, you're so freaking cute. It made me smile today every time you walked by me wearing that flower.

My evening was literally main mod, leave main mod halfway through to change, fiona for 3 hours, then RUNNING back to change to get to a mod at 3am as Rook. Learned my freaking lesson- no more Damian mods without a lantern because this is the second freaking time we've fumbled around in the dark looking for something, which caused the mod to run for a few extra hours, and none of us got to bed before 6am. So exhausted.

More later because my brain is broken, but seriously. Fantastic weekend. Now, to sleep.

Oh also, sleeping for only two hours from Friday to Saturday and having a completely in character dream about Lord Gideon loudly and angrilly scolding rook about dark Paladins. It was completely relevant to the events of the weekend and im 100% considering that an In Game dream.

There were a lot of rad highlights this event.

Grim and Caldor being super annoying to Miranda, and being unable to say much beyond "You're tall!" like a bunch of sad high school children with the dokis. Answering at the same time with the same mischievous child smiles as poor Trisana was lecturing us. Proof the heargen boys are A: brothers and B: really 12 year olds.

Seeing Mordra smile during battle during main mod. Grim remarked on it since she's almost as scowly as him normally.

Feast was excellent, and Luis did a great job under difficult circumstances given the situation of the ovens.

The Null Prison ritual was excellent. I tried to play up grim's absolute contempt for magic, everyone was rad and it was great to see newer players playing big roles. Top notch stuff, guys, and thanks so much to Joe Hines and James for really working with us on that.

NPCing as usual was a joy first shift, running around as miranda cultists and just going all fighty fights on Alisandria and elsewhere. Rather sorry to see that Brunner died after I dropped him, but he thanked me for it later so I guess it added a lot to his character story.

Tim Ponjican is an excellent Mod Boss, and did the cult of Miranda leader super well. He got incredible emotional reactions from grim after he murderd the half-redeemed vanguard. It was some wonderful heel heat, and I had a great time with that series of encounters. Karen did a great job too as his crazed protector, who we almost saved. The added tragedy of her fate made that last battle in the mod very satisfying, but also very bitter. Grim running to tobias afterwards was a crushing moment for them both.

Kestrel, Aiki, Wander, and Magnus' gang of retainers have changed Grim's emotional and story arc, and given him something he can concentrate his sometimes burdened mind on.

Miranda was amazing. Karkat and Cyfihi were super cool too. I loved fighting the golems in a certain order of timing, it was very much like fighting the Robot Masters

Grim was suprirsed by some kind comments from Duncan and Birgitta and was generally pretty busy the whole event and didn't have much time to brood.

We need to give the fireflies a pay increase and Rp points for lighting up the magic city like that.

Grim realizing who his best friend was, after an emotional moment at the end of the Miranda cult battle. And Grim telling that friend later, after the long Lord of Tears ritual, as he comforted him on a battle won, but a war that continued.

Justis was a bang up good red Golem fightman, I was so worried when he went down with a medical, I'm glad he seemed okay.

Matt was a champ limping around and riding his chariot as he ran various scenes and mods. Sending the new guards out to arrest Magnus was deeply amusing.

Grim getting questioned about him gripping his sword by the edge, and answering it. I love that.

Being told some truths about the guard by Allyce. Grim getting her name wrong again. An amusing moment of "We took all the Miranda cultists alive!" Grim: "Um, no we didn't." *he had hit his with a Slay*

A Broment with Bob as they fist bumped before going into the magical city.

Seeing Imrahil again. Had a nice fun little RP moment with Faust.

NPCING a special little mod sunday morning for my friends, got to make someone'se day unexpectedly with an on the spot nod from a Storyteller and the marshal running the scene. Good times were had by all, including my NPC .

For a given value of good, I suppose.

Was nice to see the Elves and Orcs back again, Grim loved playing that dice game. I heard a Waaaaaugh at one point and was very happy. Don't think I didn't notice

Grim and Seamus having a very civil disagreement about a matter of souls. Grim and Therion also having some disagreements. Talking with August about similar things during her meditation. Teaching Therion some fun stuff and things.

Teaching arradir during main mod. Protecting Kestrel, then being reminded that once again, Grim is -not- worthy or special (In his mind). It was a fun moment, and Grim's conclusions afterwards were surprisingly positive.

Lots of other great moments I'll remember later.
