August 2009 Highlights

So many things, I couldn't take them all in...

* Getting to bring in the new hammer and shield, at long last!  (I got them shortly after the last event, so they've been sitting at home for too long, unused...)

* Rob Gambino's little visit as an NPC to the forge.  "Interesting" times were had by all.

* Market Faire, while I was only there briefly, was nice.

* ALL THE NEW PLAYERS.  Jeebus, we were packed!  And it was good to see everyone having so much fun!

One lowlight: Heat Exhaustion / Stomach Bug.  Despite drinking a ton of water, I still managed to overheat.  To make things worse, I got a very sick stomach during the day on Sat., and wound up passing out OOG after feast for about 12 hours. 

Awesome event! Good outweighed the bad for me!

Friday:
-NPCing a troll and getting merked.
-NPCing a Drow Torturer and actually dressing in full costume and make up to stand in the dark for 1.5 hours lol
-Showering after that was AMAZING! (luv ya dearly derrick but dear god is that make up a pain to get off!)
-Bringing a Celt friend into game from my backstory (Thanks Chris!)
-Being the First to respond to the theft from Zahir, Amira and Malyc and trying to track and getting nothing.
-Hearing how Shamus' daughter was at the queen's side and swearing a blood oath to him not to harm her even if it meant bleeding out  every last drop in my own body.
-Watching Kwildar go nuts and then being there to comfort him with Magnus and Shamus, having a deep heartfelt conversation about how he's not a failure and love A++ roleplay with everyone!
-Going to sleep as my IG husband got back from paper work lol

Saturday
-Ugh it took me 40 minutes to get my stupid purple contacts in! I never thought playing a gypsy would involve so much prep time!
-Going out and trying to find someone to teach me strength +1 without actually carrying a giant log around OOG because it was just too darn hot for that! Thank god for Gideon and his awesome lectures of awesome!
-Sitting on the front porch while someone brought a demon up and freaking out once i found out it was a demon of Glomm!
-Going back and changing into Pracika again and coming out to Cal honor combating one of the queens rebels and completely merking him... silly Celts!
-Running up to the forge to talk to Zahir about the theft and finding a Drow hair and taking it to Barak to have it scryed.
-Watching the Rick Shaw topple over with Sleafus and Malyc lolz
-Feast! yummy LOVED the entertainment!
-Hearing Ilana say she'll never marry and then telling her "I'm sure there's a nice ...um... wild mage guy out there for you too, to love you for who really are.... just don't get too excited on the wedding night... if ya know what i mean."
-Kwildar: The Zealot of love! He strikes moisture into the loins of women! nuff said
-Awesome role play with Laughing Bear and Shaman! You guys were awesome! You too Blokus ever tho you said like 8 words to me.
-Trying to get Laghing Bears axe fixed and then being jumped by queens rebels on the way back. Losing a limb and clawing my way across the ground was fun lol.
-Finding a bandit, have a ranger grasp it with roots, have him try to waylay me, deflecting it and getting ticked off at someone who tried assaulting a guards member and ripping them out of the roots and dragging their unconscious bleeding body to jail! This was met with many huzzahs and "wow what a woman!" remarks
-Watching the Brogan express before main mod! and watching Brogan get hit in the chest with a sword Erdrick threw lol
-Main mod was awesome! 11 Posi Ftw and thanks the gods (literally) for mass! A++ for everyone who spoke
- a refreshing meeting of me and a metal caravan with a trapped ice elemental to make myself feel better!
-coming back from that metal caravan to find a horde of obnoxious goblins and the "Shiny Turtle Man"... i was horrified and so completely and utterly confused and didn't know whether to laugh or say heck i'm going to bed... i chose the latter.

Sunday!
-sleeping all through the night and being awoken by story tellers about how they walked into the wrong tent felt sick and then walked back to their own lolz we just kept sleeping!
-Learning a bunch of Druidic/Ranger stuff from Elawyn. It was my first time really Rping with her and it was great! Especially having 2 barbarians and a celt learn elemental shield while janus threw fire at us... lol fire magic and barbarins
-mod of AWESOME! wally you are crazy silly Dark druid's. 8 fire FTW

All in all i had a blast. Lots of new faces. Getting an earring knocked out by an NPC face shot stunk and the weather was blah! But will definitely do again!

Wee! So much fun! Low Drama and high excitement! Win.

-RP extravaganza, loved every moment

-People trying to play matchmaker for Ilana half the event. Pracika's comment was pretty funny too
-Mentioning the word 'free' around as many Coast Havens as possible and watching faces twitch. Mm, a warm fuzzy feeling on the inside.
-Skill learning marathon on Sunday

High RP, low combat for me this event and I have to say, I loved it. See you all in September!

First off, Feast was FANTASTIC

-NPC shift and the goblin gravediggers.  
-Meeting a ton more Asguard.  Apparently we breed like rabbits.
-Main mod, loved it.  Steve and Vince, combat with you guys was fun.
-Barbarian RP
-RP with Ib, Tari, and the new barbarians.
-Interesting RP with Pracika regarding Cal
-OOG/IG combat training with Diane's Dragoon friend (sorry, bad with names).

More to follow

Excellent and most awesome Event:

Hanging out with the Mcgregors telling stories and jokes.

Telling all the Valosians to stop being in a fire elemental cult and just become mages.

AWESOME RP with The Sylvan Archer about deforestation (sorry I forgot your name >.<)  As well as Feng Shui talks with Ming teeming with logical reasoning.  And Father Edwin teaching me to research. 

And overall continuosly denying being foppish,  yet using much fan-waving and complaining about lack of boutiques or massueses in the lands!

Last but not least:  All the teaching I did for the less learned folks bringing them up to at least a better standard of living.  Emar:  Enjoy your imaginary boxes, ghosts, and axes.

Overall, an amazing event though it could have been better without all the humidity. O_o;

Highlights:
- Meeting about a thousand new and returning khitans (and the asguards think they breed like rabbits!).
- Seeing alot of different wares at Market Fair.
- Finishing and finally bringing my own set of ronin armor, and the helm I started months ago.
- Two words: Turtle Magnus.
- Having a whole battalion of people being told by Turtle Magnus to run from an army of creatures that sounded like ghouls. Turned out to be goblins....
- ...which were then led into the kitchen by Magnus to eat and chant "La-zag-na."
- Getting molested (even waylayed) by the goblin army because they thought I was a pig in my helm. Then slipping away while they were distracted when I told them that the last one standing could have 10 shineys.
- NPCing shouting and screaming celts of the highland queen, wild mages, and merchants.
- Uncle Ming's Tea tent and his dry ice-cold brews. A savior in all this heat.
- Witnessing a good RP at the forge with Bartimus, Sleafus, and Lord Corrado.

Lowlights:
- All the usual discomforts of being in tents in the middle of august.
- The amount of medical holds that were called during main-mod.
- High tensions caused by the weather.
