September Highlights

  Just wanted to say that for the first event at a LARP I wasn't in charge of I had a lot of fun!

  Lows:  Rain- those of you that have arthritis know what this can do to you. This lead to my second low...
              Missing main mod and feast.  My back and hips were killing me so I figured I would go lay down just before feast and stretch out to relieve the pain.  The next thing I knew it was 4 am; and my back still hurt.  Thank god for Aleve.
            Fighting at night - I have never enjoyed fighting in the dark. Just a personal preference though.

Highs:
    Being able to come out and finally see what all the hype was about. The 12 hour drive was worth it!
      Waking up saturday and heading out as Brap the troll. I am hoping to start the worlds first Goblin-ball league at some point in the future.  We just need to collect enough (willing)goblins to use as balls.
      Getting back to logistics and going right back out as a slightly smaller troll. I am not sure how a fight with the Yahtzi's would have turned out if they hadn't tricked us; but I am betting "Yahtzi under Glass" would be a true delicacy.
        Sunday morning as an air elemental during the Demon Knight  mod. When Liam left me to act as a rearguard against Gideon, and about 8 other people, all I could say was "Huh" before I was dead...again.


    All in all, I had a great time. If the trip wasn't so long I would come back soon. As it is, I am not sure when I will return, but I do know I will remember the event for a long time.  Thanks again Geoff for taking Dave and I under your wing Friday night; and James, congrats to you and all your marshals and officers on running a terrific LARP!

This was my first time LARPing and I was so afraid I wasn't going to like it.  But trust me, I did.

Highlights-
-Getting teased by the other NPC monsters because I was the only girl and someone else screamed like a girl to draw attention
-Being a lizardkin and watching the Yahtzi's delegate a situation with the Trolls and getting our captives back, then trying to not get killed getting water at the inn.
-BEING THE HYSTERICAL MOTHER!!! it was my favorite role ever, and being able to just be crazy, and making myself cry my eyes out was really awesome, even though i was upset i didn't get to see most of the action because i was so far away.

Lows
-rain
-i am sore...everywhere lol
-they were right...as an NPC i did die....a lot!

highlights:  the rain and cold.. made my garb ALMOST bearable and ALMOST kept me from getting exhaunsted and dehydrated. geting to converse with judge in and out of game.  feast.. just wish there was more of it. gave my first mass. jenna's faceplant in the mud. my arse over Tea Kettle tumble over one of the other people i was NPCing with sunday morning. everyone thought i had hurt myself and her but nope we were both a-ok!

lowlights: had nothing to do all event.. other than a WHOLE MESS of "hurry up and wait" . boredom

I wanted to thank Wally and the STs for the Treant Mod
I was feeling really bored and sore after the Mushroom Mod and was glad to use my Druid skills for something other than combat. I dont know how fast you had to scramble together that was but it was concise and fit the amount of people we grabbed. Great work from the NPCs and James was awesome as The Treant.
I was so glad I was useful finally.

- Good food from the Yahtzees, I really enjoyed the salad and the Cornbread
- So Sad I had to leave the event Sat. I had to pack and transport all my stuff in the rain
- Druids need to hang more.. Now where did Elawyn leave that Grove....
- My arm still hurts from throwing packets every 5 seconds for an hour and a half but big props to the other Mushrooms and whomever threw that first Germinate. Also the Celt rope trick.

Highlights:

  Friday Night was very interesting.
  Saturday morning Rules Marshalling watching the Celts in action... awesomeness
  Saturday Afternoon was uplifting, interesting, and renewed my faith some.
  Yhatzis awesome scroll casethingy of awesomeness was awesome... order some! I'm going to get more!
  Saturday Late Afternoon was the begining of interesting prospects.
  Feast was ohmygodelicious
  Post feast, more interesting prospects.
  Post Post main mod, a sleep deprived Mike Smith, playing Osred who must have been in a good mood as we came up with ways to get the Dark Elves out of the Barons manor... after going through making it a snow globe, a giant slide, popping the sphere of protection out of the ground and rolling it like a hampster ball into the rift, and a few others, I think we settled on the one sure fire way to get the Dark Elves to leave:
Tell them that since they are in the Baron's manor, they are now in charge, and they have to come to the Lord's meeting... three hours into the Lord's meeting, they will be high tailing it out of Travance!!

Lowlights:  Lowlights.. literally darkness.  I couldn't see anything at all.  I'm usually pretty bad in the dark.. Saturday night was just crazy dark... if the person wasn't within 10 feet of me, I couldn't see them.

Best line of the weekend: Get your face down here now!

That improved delegation gig I pulled was one of my favorite RPs of the weekend, since we had three races that did not speak a common language together.  Grunting and making gestures to get points across to the Ogres and Trolls was fantastic, and assigning names to the lizardkin as Ka-Hiss and Ss-Sssss the candle maker had me laughing for an hour.

And in response, if it went to fighting without a doubt it would have been Paetros under glass.
