September 2016 Event 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.
