September 2016 Event Highlights!!!

Wow! What a plot this weekend! That was amazing and so very player driven! Kudos to everyone involved in Matt's heart-wrenching plot!

So hilights!

*NPCing evil mod...SURPRISE! WE'RE GOOD GUYS!!! Also cheese

*Helping Ree with feast. It was hot as SIN in that kitchen, but it was still fun to be your cheese fairy!

*Bard lessons

*The cupcake song

*Guarding the pies for Cinnamon

*Going for a walk alone in the woods pretty much right after being told that I shouldn't go anywhere alone

*Meeting Heather and bonding over our mutual friendship with an inchworm that decided to hang out with Midori while she was taking a walk alone in the woods. Learning about her family, and about her hopes, fears, and dreams. Telling her everything was gonna be alright (spoiler alert: IT WASN'T!), and crying about it later

*All interactions with Lilith--Alice, you're beautiful and so very talented!

*Learning about Kormyrian gods

*Bringing someone through the Phokus by myself for the first time! Great scene!

A few things I needed to add.

Late night talks with Fen Fen and Lee Lee. (Oh yea it's sticking.)

Haroldson confronting Jack about a sword was a great scene.

Wulfgar and Zelrich arguing.

First off Awesome Event Matt.

Friday night getting to RP with a few people who I haven't had a chance to interact with much lately.

Other then smoking hookah not many other things come to mind.

Saturday getting to interact with a few of the Perfects and finally getting to meet the one who is like Raxas after being told I should talk to her.

Having a skill actually be useful for Raxas =P

Main Mod-
Getting caught between morals and orders on the battle field and then deciding the path he had was best for both Travance and himself.

The meeting after main mod getting aggravated but keeping his mouth shut untill he knew it was the right time to speak.

After that starting to gather information needed to start his person quest he feels he has to do.

Much more happened but these are the main highlights.

So all I can say is holy crap. This event was incredible and I had a blast NPCing. I felt like a player more than I felt like an NPC and all of the players are to thank for that.

Friday:
- First walking into town and people welcoming me warmly. It's obvious that the town either respects the perfects or fears them.
-Jackdaw being awesome as always and making sure the perfects felt welcome.
-Speaking to Rudy about being a smith and learning how to become one. The visuals you had were flipping stunning and I was wildly impressed.
-Gaian mass was really cool. The vibe of the whole thing was really calming and it was the first mass I had ever gone to.
-Having people realize that Lazarus was part angel and losing their minds was fun to watch.
-Being taught about Galadel and having my shield turned into a holy symbol was really neat. Bjorn and Lorelai were very fun to roleplay with.
-Having Oren teach Lazarus about what it is to be a paladin and having it be pretty obvious people want it to happen. "If a wild mage, someone with demon's blood, can be a paladin then why can't you?"
-Leading the small group of powerful heroes to the lab of runaways to save Jackdaw and crew.
-Having an intense as hell roleplay encounter with Valias and watching the people nearby nervously watch. Dustin, that was a really awesome back and forth we had and probably one of the coolest part of my weekend.

Saturday:
-Wandering around as Lazarus and secretly healing the brothers was a lot of fun.
-Getting close with Cinnamon and having her become someone that needed to be protected was awesome
-Lazarus being furious with the town for letting Able kill someone. Are you all crazy?
-Learning more about various faiths from different townspeople. It was really intense watching that whole thing with Dominic then being scolded for using Heal Life on Merikh.
-Pie day!!!
-Having to help the twins through an existential crisis while also speaking to Jackdaw about how they can't really disobey Father without risking being murdered by the other siblings.
-Learning Cinnamon was a homonculus and was activated. Lazarus had WORDS with Father.
-Awkward family dinner at feast with the brothers was HILARIOUS
-"So we were dealing with Yo-yo and she may have gotten crushed in the lab." "Again?"
-"Sooooo.....we may have realeased Icarus." Lazarus then loses his shit. Stop blowing up labs!!!
-Reading Cinnamon's last letter and almost crying in the process. Gemmora losing her temper and calling herself no perfect. I'm so glad I managed to diffuse THAT situation.
-Hearing Kelley's lovely singing voice and freaking out because Laz knew what the song meant.
-Main mod was intense with setup and I'm sad I didn't get to see most of it. The PC's were smart in distracting us the way they did, otherwise it would have been a bloodbath. I wasn't expecting you all to split and let us just walk into the labs. That was unexpected.
-Good luck with your treason.

All in all I had a blast as Lazarus and truly look forward to further helping with this epic plotline!

That's how it should be!

I have highlights that I am too tired from too much OT this week to think of, but I wanted to say these thank-yous:

Matt. Phenomenal work, as always.
Ree. That food was some of the best I've had in 7 years at game.

Duncan - that chat on the smoking porch, and the relief at knowing friends were on the same page again, OOG.
Jackdaw - that scene in the back of the lab - knowing that it looked like I was running away, and hoping you understood. Then learning you totally did.
Rook and (blue) Kestrel - always go back for friends. Yusss. (Also, Rachael - "pursue?")
(red) Kestrel - glad that shield is safe
ummmm...plot NPCs, you guys -all- rocked it.

Thanks for an excellent game.
