WitL highlights 2017

I had a great event. I didn't really get involved in a lot of things and was mostly helping people with food, giving IG and OOG pep talks about how people deserve to chase after their IG dreams or tagging along with important people and being a sasspot, but I have no regrets.

Late night RP shenanigans in the Adventurer's Guild with tea and good company is always my absolute favorite. Huge thanks to the people who have made that a thing. I cherish you.

It was an honor to bring Flame-Queen Alluria to life again, even if it was only for 15 minutes. 100% worth it.

Myris: It hurts so much. Does it get any easier?
Flame-Queen Alluria: It will pass, child. The worst is almost over.
Myris: Do you feel any different?
Flame-Queen Alluria: I do, but it is very subtle. Like a small, white flower in an open field, blooming for the very first time.

See all you nerds next time.

I'd say, "What are ya, nuts!?" but c'mon now, who am I talking to? Seriously though, you were and are inspiring.

Week In The Life…

What a very long event and I got in late Wednesday too after working all day. Was able to change at work and come in garb so was able to jump right in out the gate…

I wish I had the time to write this sooner as memories get clouded by exhaustion and work….

Some noted good things.
Wednesday RP with some of the Spirits on camp and then with some of the others out and about in the Proper… Good time.
Thursday Morning Brazen Mass. Decent attendance with some new members of Travance coming to hear the Word.
Thursday Brisket and having the Old Mage of Travance visiting the Old Sword and her people. Wonderful conversations, good company.

Master Warrior 3 Teaching- Not all combat is fighting, sometimes its guarding… Melody the Wardog being the protected for Darius then Darius + help. Melody was into it once she figured out what was going on (Dogs are damn smart, people…) and helped her protectors by being on the move- this also made it harder for her protectors… but that was the goal, wasn’t it?
Kudos to everyone who participated… and For those who want the same sort of lesson, doing so will have to wait until the Wardog is able to return.

Bar Crawl- this old Celt was content to watch shenanigans…. And scare Jackdaw when I appeared from the Shadows by their pavilion. Grim’s compliment about my ability to do that… priceless.

Superglad no one got hurt in the fire… A highlight from a lowlight- gear can be fixed/replaced, people notsomuch.

Friday….
A conversation with Jack Duo…
Meeting Scarlett in the flesh…. Hannah, you did awesome!
Late Friday triple Lesson session- Brazen would be proud for the efficient teaching methods.
Patrolling Travance with Gilgamesh and a handful of Spirits looking for Spawn…. And getting a quiet chuckle as Brigitta growls at a group of travancians to shut up.

Saturday’s Mass- light attendance but a good mass either way.
Blood Spirit Plan A put into motion… and despite attempts to derail it, manage to be successful with that plan- having success confirmed by Plot ST and one of his Main Minions. Go us!
The Search for the Cannons and their repair. Brazen Provides but sometimes it hurts doing so. Sacrifice of Blood Sweat and Tears is sometimes necessary to accomplish great things and its part of the quieter pieces of his teachings (and yes, it’s been a subject of Mass before. *grin*

A discussion about the material of the cannons after their recovery with Sterling. We both are damn curious about it and if we can duplicate it…

Main Mod fighting- Spirits working the sides of the battlefield. Finding out my skill of Nope with the War Hammer has improved… or I had an extended Blind Squirrel moment. Jury is out deliberating still on that one.

Fixing a cannon and helping to power another up. Brazen Provides….

A last second addendum to the Main Mod plans by one of ours ensured complete overall success at main for Travance that much faster. I have it on good authority that the butcher’s bill would have been FAR higher and a good chance for Travance to lose was there if we had not been successful with what we did- especially the last parts. I’ll take that gladly

The Death and missing Spirit of a Blood Spirit- goddamn it Reece!

Post Main, I participated in a Witch Hunter mod/teaching session as an NPC. I was feeling pretty good despite all the walking/aches of the day… and before the start, I joking said to the players before going off to be in position- “I’m gonna apologize now if I give y’all a fight; I’m actually feeling pretty limber right now…” There was laughter on all sides and off I went.

Little did I know that my joking comment would prove that Prophetic- the School of Nope was Strong this night… and I kept moving & swinging…. Giving the Hunters as good a battle as I was asked to do.
Apparently I scared the crap out of them and it was not just my NPC skills doing that. Guys, I am happier than hell to have given the lot of you a wicked awesome fight and I have been told I will be asked to help with such mods in the future. I just need to remember to drink a Gatorade and a Rockstar again before hand….

Sunday- get up and get up to the inn for a bit. Talks, discussion and finally get Archcaster Lesson 2 out of the way (only took four months >.< ) When the rain was seen coming, it was down to the camp to pack up.

It was great to be at camp for the week and I look forward to next event for many reasons. See everyone then!

Wow that was some crazy week we had.

Wednesday: Setting up the Djinn and Tonic and getting the tent together was a new experience. Trying to remember what we had vs what we needed. Organizing people who never set up the bar before (thanks guys). It came out great. I hope everyone had a good time there!
