January 2017 WENDIGYOLO REALMS Highlights

Hmmmm, where to start?
First weekend as a PC, and to be honest it was completely different from what I expected! the group I was travelling with arrived early Friday evening, and discovered that that the inn was booked full, so we set up our stuff in the barn. While waiting in the tavern for Lay-on, I enjoyed several games of chess with Liighka and Haroldson (who totally destroyed me; hats off to you sir, you are very good!) Lay-on was called, so I hung around the inn for a while, and found myself involved in two more chess games (in-character this time, which is unusual for a Northman) with a player whose name I cannot recall. First game I barely beat him, and the second he beat me, so I'd say we're fairly well matched. Two of the best games I've had in a while, though the second was interrupted when a horde of Wendigo burst into the inn. They were quickly driven out, and things quieted down a bit.

I eventually got bored and wandered off into the darkness alone, and found myself in a running battle at the Barracks. I was then directed to escort someone into the barracks, where we were terrified by spooky music, utter darkness, and no way of escape. (Zipeto, that was fantastic. Perfect horror scene description.) We escaped from there, only to encounter it again on the way back to the inn. my companion froze up and couldn't be reached, so I went to get help. After that, I was very tired, so I went to bed.

Saturday I ended up NPCing almost all day. Whether it was being a goofy psionic mime or an angry peasant whose 17 cows had frozen to death in his barn due that the indoor blizzards, it was highly enjoyable. Props to the PC's who actually helped the peasant, I was not expecting anyone to bother with helping him. Feast was fantastic, Thank You to all the kitchen staff.

After Feast, I went back to NPC some more. Late night NPC shift was by far the best, as Ben Harmen came up with the coolest ideas. First there was the massive Decay Creature and its mist monster conglomerations. That was pure brilliance. Then apparently the PC's thought vampires were coming,so he sent us out as nosferatu. I was the peasant sent running ahead to warn everyone of the nosferatu coming, and I was supposed to die in the fight. However, the moment I fell in battle, the PC's brought me back. After the battle, they offered to train me as a Witch Hunter, a Bounty Hunter, a Ranger, and I can't even remember what else! Big props for trying to convince an NPC to stick around, but I had other obligations! I was drafted by Zipeto for super secret stuff that went very well. Again, he is a fantastic storyteller. Best descriptive scene-setting I've ever seen! Then after NPC shift was officially over, Ben invited me to randomly wander around with him as an assassin for some recurring plot he was involved in, and that was a blast. 4 on 1 fight in a cloud of darkness, and I barely escaped with my life. So much fun. "Summon women, summon women, summon women!"

I stayed up all saturday night in the tavern, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast Sunday morning.
Can't wait to be back in a couple weeks!

I should've known.

Oh man! Almost forgot!

Thog is the greatest non-rogue rogue in all of Travance, a majestic bastard, and my personal hero

Knight Realms January 2017 Event-
Highlights:
Like seriously, I never laughed so much at a KR weekend as I did this one. An entire event without a traumatic experience for Swyft-- what a feeling! lol...
From harassing the scariest of priests and straight faced nobles alike with namierra silliness to being brought saucers of milk from Lords, I never had as much fun being katta as I did this event! I cannot express my appreciation of this enough.

A by-product of hanging with the bad kids behind the school was learning how to have hijinks this event. My goodness, what fun.
On Friday night, I waited for Heimdal's back to be turned after he set down his box o' drugs, cat-stealthed over to it, placed it under the table, cat-stealthed back to where I was sitting and watched and giggled with the others as the panic set in when he couldn't find it. This went on a few times... Sorry, not sorry Matt!

Ah, Kardin's dismay at having to arrest Karkat...

"I'M BEING EVIL IN PUBLIC! ARREST ME!"

Somehow a contest of jump scaring Swyft erupted between Zelretch and Karkat. I don't understand it, but should it continue she will retaliate with more than just confetti.
You've been warned!


Jed's new biography title for Swyft: "She Crept Closer."
(How did you keep a straight face, you bastard?)

Lord of Tears returning? And other Harbingers... SWYFT WILL FIGHT YOU

Dark prophecies for Zelretch...

Ben's manic display on Friday night. Wowie.

Nalick, you man stealer, you.
"I'll cut off his arms if you want." - Cy

Floored by Paladin scritches. Curse you, Amaltheaaaaa!!! *fist shake*


This was the first event Swyft has ever been scruffed. And by two separate people, no less. It... was surprisingly effective. :x

Duncan's impromptu Battle Mass was a fun start to Saturday. They had an army. We had a Jed.
Wendigone.

So this one time Cy tried telling me something, but she forgot it at my look of befuddlement at her very expert sidling. She promptly found the fact that she forgot it so hilarious that she just started cracking up. The contagion spread to Maeve, Zelretch and myself, so we were doubled over laughing for literally no reason.

That was friggin' awesome, lol.

I enjoyed helping Mary and Chris with feast this event! It is always a pleasure to spend time with them, and feast staff this time was a delight. Everything was done super on time and delicious!

I took distinct pleasure in knocking over cups at the nobles' table. And in Billiam screaming that Swyft needs to get outside because she's not people.

Aleister put me in charge of Drega'mire for main mod, and there were three of us, lol. Stonefall joined up, though, and that brought our party up to a whopping six! Swyft is little salty with Annorra about it, and that's why dead things are going to end up in her bed. (Sorry, Cara!)
However, we were fairly effective as a strike team, even if it did get a little hairy for a moment...

PALADIN FIGHT!

Watching paladin and dark paladin nemeses in action...
Salmons forever.

Storytime with Karkat. 4-Ever. My sides hurt so much, man.

I experienced something new. Punning so much that someone fought me.
Better up your game, Jeff Balla!
#goals

4AM Fight Club with Heimdall. Oh. My. God. HILARITY. Matt, you know how to put on a show, man. Those fights were so friggin' great, they were all but choreographed. You are an absolute delight to interact with! Thank you for taking Swyft's "bites" lol! No holds barred!

I felt particularly salty and shady as Swyft this event, and a lot of it came out Sunday. Ah yes, the bandits in the road... Sweet, sweet revenge. All involved were amazing, thank-you for letting me have that moment!

Lord Silverbow is racist! He gave Swyft a saucer of milk for breakfast.
But she liked it.

The Cat Lady of Pendarvin who had 28 cats but really wanted to make it 29. Oh my god, dude, you KILLED me. You were so friggin' hilarious! Thank-you for that! Swyft considers it a contigency plan, just.... in case...

Adam, you were too damn funny as the mystic. Quite an exchange there...

Free for all arenas are so fun. Thanks for putting that together! It was nice excitement for a Sunday!

Thank-you to staff and players alike for providing such a wonderful time. I really needed the mental break and you provided! All of my love!
