In our defense, he was lying on his stomach, and he was heavy! We did braid his hair, though. Just not his beard.

This event was incredibly fun, thanks a lot to Steve and the rest of the STs and marshals for making it scary good.

- First ever event where I was the only Tanwyn in the proper (I think) made it interesting but always happy to represent

- Friday night actually going to a meeting for once and getting a chance to do some stuff

- Wili and I on our way to do some stuff getting slain in Ostcliff's field but luckily brought back by some healers and continuing on to do the stuff (not sure how people mess stuff like this up)

- Speaking of those things being messed up, the absolute trainwreck that has come to be known as the Peach Snowcone mod continued this event and it went nearly as bad... starting with 5, having one slain and reanimated, myself slain and phokus walked, someone else leaving due to out of game reasons, it's safe to say the mod did not go well Friday

- BUT I WALKED THE PHOKUS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT WAS SWEET, thanks again for that Starling that was a great first tag to lose both to Ben as the monster and then to phokus walk

- Speaking of my first death, also my first time using Death Curse, being a Romani is super awesome, the tag was worth seeing the looks on peoples faces when I told them I cursed Ben with Soft Hearted Kormyrian (minimal damage to kormyrians)

- Saturday was fairly laid back, learned weapon mastery from Zelretch and some others, not much else till my NPC shift

- NPC got to be a few things, first brigands, then bar patrons, then a giant spider humanoid (sorry bout those human shields everyone), and finally a dead body in a cave

- Note to self, learning willpower from George was a bad idea, it was horrifying

- Main mod was fun, reminiscent of December with the nulls, everyone running around fending for themselves for the most part as the plan falls apart (it always falls apart)

- Post main mod doing yet more things for the Peach Snowcone mod, however it was deceivingly simple this time around

- Sunday was awesome because normally I sleep in then don't really bother going out, but this time it was definitely worth it thanks to some merchants who were awfully careless with their things, particularly their money box

I'm sure I may be forgetting something but either way it was awesome and I can't wait for next month!

MIND LAZERS FOR EVERYONE!

It was strange for a while not being Dominic. Needing to pretend I don't know anything. I even had some moments of thinking like Dominic and even at one time found myself reaching for a pair of brawlers that weren't their to start punching. But now I'm gonna start partying with people I had no reason to party with before and running around with all new types of shenanigans.

I also want to take a moment to thank Mat Majchrzak for setting up Dominic crashing his own funeral. I also want to thank Drew for being amazing and crashing the funeral with me. The entire scene was awesome and I love all of you who showed up.

Ben, you were super scary and deserve every ounce of praise you get.

It has been a long time, and there will be another hiatus of indeterminate length until I make it back, but man was this a great weekend to hold me over until then. It was fantastic seeing everyone again, and seeing so many new (to me) faces is always great for old timers like me. I think I literally started coming to KR before a fair number of you were born, and seeing the game grow like that is amazing. So in no particular order:

"Wait, I'm a what?"

"Who's there, are you people?"
Corsair: "Um...actually, no."

"A Fae Lord, a Phoenix, and an elemental. There's a joke there somewhere."

Identify Compound?
It's an ooze.
(You had to be there for that one)

Walking down to sleep and hearing a rustling sound behind me, turning around and seeing nothing at all. Then it happens twice more, my heart is pounding, and I realize...it's my cloak dragging on the leaves.

Obi-Wan Kenobi'ing not one, not two, but three white sorcerers. You all should just be glad I don't teach the way Vardemis used to...

Fourth Age Travance giving Bellanear a near constant aneurysm.

"Oh, you're THAT Bellanear?"
Yes, because Bellanear's ego needed help...

Wandering the woods with Corsair and Ember looking for the Nighthaunt, "We really need a theme song."

"I refuse to call it Jeff"
"The scholars are calling it a bone eater."
"Do you not see how that is worse?"

A special shout out to the new players playing the drow. I had no idea this was your first event, and you took Bellanear's next level IG racism and you guys just ran with it. That is beyond awesome and I expect great things from that group.

There's so much more, but the long and short of it is that this was a phenomenal event and I will be back.

Corsair leads you all the way to this answer, hints at it, makes it obvious, you still don't believe it. I take one look at you, confirm it. And suddenly "oh ok then" comes out of your mouth and you're ok with it. It was pretty priceless

First time playing an alt!

It was weird to hear people yelling for a healer and having to remember I was not Wylla, haha.

Highlights in no real order:

Betting people to solve her puzzles was fun. Most of you got it done very quickly. Now I need to get harder ones.

Playing liars dice with Wolfgang, Scarlet and Nikolai and I can't remember the other two peoples names (Sorry!)

Walking towards the inn and having to climb the roof to evade all the undead.

Watching Jeff/bone eater bigfoot walk across the field shrugging off the attacks thrown at it.

Surprisingly not dying or even going down once during the whole event.

"It was un-bee-leavable."
"You're terrible."
"I try."

Falling asleep to the sounds of Yaya threatening Nikolai .

Waking up to an Ogre with an allergy problem.

"GET OFF MY LAWN!"

And of course getting to see everyone is always great. Can't wait to bring Veska back next event!
