May Event Highlights

Sunday
-Ilana coming into town with Emar and Niotrul. Enjoyed the little story with that
-Making friends with a very strange high elf and thinking him the coolest one ever
-Pretending having little experience in chess (They're clearly horses, not knights. And what makes you think a tower is a large black bird?)
-Portal insanity and dropping more times then I have in whole at Knight Realms... but saving people was fun.
-Silly people... you don't mess with Lich possessions and expect nothing to go wrong...
-Weapon practice antics (Stone grip.. so cruel but so entertaining)

Saturday
-Cinnamon pancakes! Making breakfast was fun ^^ Progressively running out of mix was not.
-Physcian list learned! This is going to be so much fun
-Brute clan deciding Ilana was their new wife.... hoping not to be carried off and glad no one was hurt despite the many nasty looks Ilana friends were giving them.
-Ilana practicing with her staff... and basically being picked on.
-Golems of all kinds... having only the negative/positive golems attacking me and my elemental shield being useless...
-Spending my gold on people and being happy they were happy.
-Cooking feast and being amazed by the kind of work Matt and his mother put into it. I'm so glad I work for Magnus.
-Ilana deciding to go back to her old ways and be 'ok' with the fact she's a wildmage.
-Late Monestary Visit and it being so late missing beginning of Main Mod and hanging out with the portal guards
-Prepared to fight Astral Jellyfish until Nobles are running away from said jellies.... soon following them
-Having to pay 5 gold for sanctuary and being so annoyed.... and pleased with the final results. Chocolate + Fruit + Warm food + a good drink= a content way to finish the night
-Ending the night in a different cabin and being so very happy I was not in my cabin when I hear the next morning Kwildar and our new hobbit friend were killed by blasts of doom.
-Wondering if I were hit with said blasts if I could have just called a catastrophic blast and ruin the assassins night....but also glad I didn't have to find out.

Sunday
-Taking bets: Will Ilana die in her sleep within 5 moons?
-Saving children from nasty slave traders
-Half worried I'd have to 1 vs 3 another group of slave traders... luckily the others showed up.
-Possible Chronicler priestess of the future. More to come, haven't found that fork in the road yet.
-Deciding one does not need to be a scholar to learn things... must bring more quills
-Cook Profs!
-Finalizing a few things and mostly liking the results (I think...)

So much done this event and next event is proving to be just as insane. There was great RP involved and I can't wait for more. The list of people I'm liking at these events is growing and people are always showing me there is so much to what's really going on. Can't wait to see what happens in June. Things just get better and better

Pre-Game:
Antics with UPS getting the Nemesis order in. The first part of the shipment, that had everyone else's stuff but mine, arrived the Friday of the Anniv. event while I was on my way to the campsite.  I took this Friday off again to get there at a reasonable time, and once again, the package (this time with the Anvil and Gideon's new sword) came in on Friday - but this time I actually trained into NYC, picked it up from work, and trained back out to have them for the event.  It was worth it!

Packing D (Sasha), Andy (Nicolai), and all my stuff into one car.  "Snooch" has a lot of room, but even so, it was tight...

Getting 15 minutes out, and realizing I forgot my armor, which was attuned.  We had to go back and get it...

SUCK traffic on 287, up to and across the Tappan Zee.  Ugh!

The Event:
Being able to finally use all the new toys I ordered back in Jan. / Feb., that all came in at once.

Decent weather, even if it was a tad cold... at least it wasn't raining.

Friday night: Ardis - "This sounds like a Corsair trick."  Saturday, seeing him show up, although at least it wasn't the WHOLE plot that was a trick.

Being the right PC at the right time.  Doug had been taunting me for playing the wrong PCs all of the April event...

Hiding various people behind the shield.

Mentioning a talking book to Osred, and realizing I'd have to escort him into the Portal once I mentioned it.

Discussions w/ Germain - "How long would it take to make an exalted mithril breastplate?" "26 hours."

Getting to see almost everyone be happy with their Nemesis order, including the Troll Femurs given to logistics.  The only unhappy customer was the owner of a pair of scabbards that didn't fit his Nemesis scimitars. D'oh - but they found a good home in the end!  (Mike D. - that Elven Saber is kick-ass!)

Feast!  Nom nom nom nom nom!

The return of Mike V.  Welcome back!

Morwenne: "Ethan hasn't said a word to me in months."  Gideon: "He just sent me a letter."  Morwenne: "I'm going to KILL him!"  Gideon (Internal): "Oops."

Friday:  RP with some new faces, great to see people jumping right in.
            Daedri begrudgingly realizing he is becoming attatched to the life hes leading here.
            Aerin's feminine wiles forcing Daedri to show off and do something heroic
            Being considered by many to be stupid has its benefits.
           

Saturday: Waking up too early due to throwing all my blankets off during the night, apparently my body doesnt have that whole 'self preservation' thing down yet.
                Going back to sleep for a couple hours, waking up to my favorite battle cry "Run away!"
                Losing an ear in combat again. Never finding it. Next event I bring two pairs.
                FEAST! I wish I saved a plate of it to have bronzed and present to you and your mom as 
                a trophy. Thank you and everyone who helped you.
                RP with Jonas and Germaine, Enter a new era for this pirate.
               

Ball got rolling this event, cant wait to see what it crashes into next event.
               
               

First time up, had a bit of trouble figuring out how to work my racial fear.
Enjoyed a training session with a kindly dragoon(can't remember the name, sorry)
Loathed not being able to help much, loving the few instances when i could.
Woke up 4 am, then woke up in the monestary. apparently i was assassinated.
talked to people, talked to more people, discovered that many of them are pretty cool.
Enjoyed feast, pilfered a bit of it for later
All-in-all, had a good first time there, can't wait to return!

Seeing as this was my first event and I was NPC all weekend, twas pretty intense. I couldn't be happier.

Friday-
Learned how to battle as a lizard thingy, also stepped in huge puddle and had a wet foot for the rest of the night
Came to the Inn as an annoying Goblin "You have shiny?"
Missed being a spider, because of being an annoying Goblin
Was a baby wolf and got food, water and shelter at the Inn!

Saturday- Too much to remember
Highlights include
Being a slave trader, getting hit with poison ivy in game and then thrown in jail
Norm asking Matt how much his mother was worth in trade
Being a loud, raucous barbarian, trying to get thrown out/ killed but getting paid instead
Being an almost ritual sacrifice, but my screams were enough to get the town to come running
Becoming a chaos beasty for main mod and getting pummeled
Yelling "Despair"  almost every time I respawned and hearing the annoyed groans of the PCs, hilarious

Sunday-
I had to leave early

Thanks for a great event, while I was tired, cold, and sore for most of the weekend, I had a blast and will be returning for June!

From what I still remember..

- Having a copy of the Lore: Legion book being made for me! I win. Thank you Father Edwin and Amazar.
- The conversation/rp with Germaine that made me miss 3/4 of main mod. Totally worth it.
- Chilling with Ardis and Morwenne outside of the portal keeping an eye out for the jellyfish things.
- Sending out undead at three in the morning for Seamus.. who slept right through it and let Aleister and Kiellor have all the fun.
- Aleister calling "intimidate" on me as the Necromancer teacher and forgetting what it does oops
- Volunteering to help Magnus with his orphanage now that he has nine children.
- Breakfest. Galen, make me some. Damn good eggs.
- All the brief rp with Rayven, Juniper, Kwildar and so on..
- Driving home from the event on three hours of sleep.

It was a fun and chill event overall.
