August 2009 Highlights

Just so we get this out of the way, yeah.  It was hot as [insert comparison here] this weekend.  With that done, let's get to the Highlights! 

Friday Night!

-just to start, making it to KR without being killed by NJ.  Thanks to all the people who put up with my shenanigans on the phone and helped me get to the site  :-[
-seeing all my friends again and meeting new members of both my khitan and dragoon families.  Yay new people!
-going outside to battle celts but being careful because hitting the wrong celt would be quite a disappointment (see later note...)
-NPC-ing as a goblin: It felt so good to just sit back and let my inner annoying child come out of me.  Thanks to Matt for helping to spark that inner fire.  And btw, "Gobo go away!"  Thanks Hammish 
-and of course, being hugged to death by Sheamus while playing a ghoul...never been killed like that before

And apparently I'm the new Tyros? 

Saturday!

-got to meet a lot of the town guard, which is pretty impressive getting to know what's going on behind the scenes in Travance

Demon Mod:

Ok, so if you weren't around for this, a witch hunter NPC comes into the inn around market faire time and is gathering people to help him hunt down and destroy a demon that is ruining farmgrounds in Kaladonia(?) by salting them through geisers exploding from the ground.  He says "I need anybody of medium experience to please help me out."  Now a lot of us would consider ourself "pretty well versed in battle," however what he meant OOG was "lvl 7-17"...

A giant part of the party that came with him was either lvl 1 or 2.

So this party of lvl 1s and 2s and some higher up people show up to where the demon is and we start to attack it and its minions.  After about 20 minutes or so, we finally figure out that the plumes that are spewing from the ground have to be covered.  10 more minutes later, that's all done.  To close, totally awesome mod, will mod that one again anytime (though I wouldn't mind having a parry with me know to avoid my arm getting broken  )

-to whomever skillfully drew the ogres weapon to the side inside the Inn at market faire and opened his body up to a world of hurt from him and myself, you have my undying respect as a swordsman and a person.  That.  Was.  Awesome.
-Absinthe sitting with Cassandra Blithe: 10 gold
  Healing salve used to get me back on my feet from 1BP after the absinthe wore off: 1 dead kobold
Using Strength +1 to RP throw a dropped bad-celt body into the woods: priceless

Main Mod!

I can successfuly say that that was the craziest fight I have ever been in.  Period.  Highlights from this...
-taking down a grand total of 15 baddies = new personal record in a battle 
-getting constantly shived by Vince (every rogue needs to learn from him how to shiv)
-speaking of teh shiv, has anybody ever seen a healer get a baddie in the back and drop it dead?  Ladies and gentlemen, Elias Barkey as a healer using Blade of Victory from the shadows 
-seeing my teacher 1v1 against Matt's (magnus) NPC character Gabriel = just...you had to see it.  It was intense.

Saturday Night and Sunday!

-Magnus the Turtle Knight and the Goblin Army!!!  (IG i was ticked after finding out a bunch of us ran away from goblins.  OOG I was rofl-ing all over the place)
-getting through the night uninterrupted?  That's never happened before
-So many plants, so little uses of Caloric Blade...hehehe  >:]
-learning Parry.  Finally!


So yeah, had an amazing time at the event and I hope to be coming back again next month!

Was nice to be back and see some familiar faces, and a ton of new ones. The heat wasn't fun, nor was the mosquitos.

Showed up, walked around in the dark for awhile, ran into laughing bear initially thinking he was an npc that was going to attempt to gank me, but then after a little while realized he was a good guy.
Hung around the Inn for a bit, met up with some people I knew from a few years ago.
Getting back into the fighting mood.

Sunday -
Waking up to npc... npcing some random things... plant zombies?
Being a part of a 3 person gank-squad, and leading a group to a random place in the woods to find the x on our secret treasure map... and finding an actual X in the woods...
