June Event Highlights

This was actually an amazing time for me. Despite the fire that was 2 inches from me.
I have to say this is the first time ever I have been directly involved in the plot. It was a very interesting experience for me. :whistle:

Friday:
Mass at the new shrine at Kaladonia.
My hubby gave a great Gaian mass. I was so proud. I was also impressed with the turnout. It made me excited to see him preach.
Helping with the grove only to find out the mobs were not at the actual grove.. and then gah Stupid shadow cheesy fight thingie

Saturday:
Kitchen stuff and then Fire. Fire clean up until 5.... at one point for about an hour and change I was cleaning solo. Not my happiest moment, but I got help eventually thankfully. I am sorry if I bit a few people's head off when I Was trying to get things together solo while reinforcements came. It was a daunting task and doing it alone was a wee hard. Thank you so much to everyone who helped clean up after the fire and put stuff away. I love you all. You all get cookies.
ALtar redemption for Caldor and Angeliana. Getting to tell Angeliana to please ditch her new bodyguard because she is a big girl who doesn't need one.
Feast. I am so proud and happy that Jenn got feast up and running. It was a lot of fortitude and quick thinking on the part of Kitchen staff. Kudos to everyone who helped get feast together through improvising.

Goodbye Mixeledia! It was so heart wrenching to see her go. Angeliana crying broke my heart and I tried my damnedest to keep her functioning.
Getting spirited away and having a very cool scene!!!! I am so sad I didn't get to use all the cool stuff I got. But WOOWIE anyway. It was.. exceptionally awesome. I pulled a chunk of my blue glow sticks off to give to the other people in our dead party club. Zephyr, the legend will not be forgotten I promise. SO... very... Cool!
Hunting down Julius was just so much fun. Making that evil clown run was great. We chased him from the inn to Winterdark until we cornered him and he vanished. It was so intense! I am very glad Gift of the Earth finally worked. wooo!

Sunday fixing the altar!
Lessons: Got my repel lesson which was fun because I managed to ACTUALLY repel a sword attack by firing off an arrow (dunno how I actually timed that on the first try) and taught an amazing trick shot lesson.
Watermelon and Imrahil's party how can you go wrong? Imrahil your meat was great. The marinade was just fantastic!

Honestly, I didn't have very many ig highlights this month, as most of my time was consumed in logistical concerns. It seemed my weekend's theme was all the ways to lose both your legs without dying.

General: Getting a chance to interact with a lot more folks than I usually do.

Friday: Proved without a doubt Imrahil will follow a superior's orders to the letter. My apologies to those who had to interact with me after about 1 am. Dead tired and bogged down is not my finest for sure.

Saturday: Given a classified mission!
Performed guardsman training.
Got to use master teach first event I had it available. I really think anyone who doesn't have at least teach is missing out on an incredibly enjoyable part of the game. Four more master teach lessons to qualify for sensei: even if it was just trade prof! Just have to beat Quan Liu in a duel first. Thank god I have another 18 levels to grind first... :ohmy:
Owned fire cleanup/feast - right alongside all the rest of you hardy souls!
Counseling a new student on the path of the Warrior Monk. The answers were true, and the discipline will be a great boon to you friend!
Some quick fun rp with Rudolph after the deafness pulse!
Wishing I had spent some more time in rp with Mixolydia now. She was incredibly accessible as busy leaders go. Imrahil shall miss her. Them Aliester and Quan Liu feels tho...
Sitting out main mod as a head and torso. Finally, "Cure light wounds!"; "I'm a slightly less damaged torso."; "Oh... Angelianna!"
Late night at the stump - Atrus and Terezi; you guys put Imrahil out of his comfort zone, but Brendan thinks you're pretty swell!

Sunday: Wakeup npc's outside Drega'tent. Swyft and Zathir handling things while I covered a still dressing Lukas. Dispersing an attack on a tent in Ostcliff.
Blush-worthy compliments from the Travance Chronicle staff. Thank you both so much!
More daywalking undead dealings.
Being told Imrahil was the "calmest citizen of Travance." Suck it, I'm the serenest! :lol:
Realizing I hadn't used a single periodic through the day.
A good chat with a couple of folks Imrahil is considering as teachers to open lists through. To you both; You hold a level of respect he has for only his most kindred spirits.
Finally getting a chance to host my birthday grillings! Many thanks to the flexibility and hospitality of my gracious hosts in Kaledonia, and my guests. I'm glad I was able to share the time with you, and that the grillings were so well received! While I wish there was more time before layoff to rp with you all, the few quick interactions were great, and I didn't have to break my in character vegetarianism to enjoy some meat with you after layoff! I only wish it wasn't so late and many more who wished to could have come! At least the delay meant the meat got to marinate an extra day! As always my biggest highlight is the community!

Too tired for a full write up, so I shall put the following.

Anoint was useful. This makes me happy.

Great turnout at the first mass at the new altar space. Ree and Cameron did such an amazing job painting the space, and the altar that Alice made for Andorra and the statue David gave for Arawyn just made it so much more beautiful. Thanks to everyone who has or is helping develop this space.

I loved getting drawn into this plot. I hate cleaning up after a fire.

Jen... that last song was so beautiful and so perfect. Thank you for singing it for us. Baroness will be missed. Having to break the news to Pluvious when he arrived in town was painful.

Thank you to Goose and Marybeth for the nods to Xod that you gave Caldor. It was brilliant, and motivated a few of us to delve deeper.

STUPID MAGIC CARDS

I got to have an amazing scene with an Angel of my god and Angeliana. Truly great RP and something so powerful and so spiritual is a wonder.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE that book Goose. Seriously amazing craftsmanship.

To all the singing NPCs. Amazing work. The mood and atmosphere you set was incredible. JUST as many props to our amazing Bards. I can't believe what a wonderful and powerful song you guys put together, and how strong you were in keeping it up through the whole mod.

Rowan... Thank you for making me restrain you and then send a people to their possible death for your instrument. I have rarely seen so much true passion and desperation as I did in your eyes at that moment.

I had so much fun letting people see Caldor loose it for a change. Wife apparently dead as she slipped into the spirit realm, Gaia not answering prayers, Arawyn not reachable.... I had so much fun just punching crap I couldn't hurt and being a TERRIBLE fighter. I'm also sorry for that MASSIVE 2 normal to those few friends I hit. Thank you to Albert and Brigitta for really talking him down.

Epic tracking of Julius. Seriously Ree and Romeo, you guys made my night. Thank you to everyone who kept completely in character in not knowing where he was, but then gave us the OOG knowledge for her tracking. You kept us immersed and let a very difficult to use skill work in the most magnificent of ways.

Illana - thank you for offering Caldor something he may someday truly need.

Two birthday parties in one month? Amazing!

Saint Haroldson? oh Gods...

HUGE props to the feast crew for an amazing recovery and delivering a very delicious and well constructed meal after all that happened.

I'm sure there is much, much more from this fabulous event.

Haroldson in the stocks.
The end.

That was just.....yeah. Haroldson in stocks, reforge. And we burst out laughing.

-Sindarion's fate. The new wildmage with the intricate markings (so bad with names) 'George's' lessons.

-Hanging out with Rowan. Need to tether the rest of the Udhir's together.

-Learning Cymoril's story. The other pieces of history in the book.

-The last of the future Ilana knew of finally caught up to her. Now who knows what's going on.

-Maja's last words to Ilana about her bloodline. The first time he didn't smile at her at all.

-Duncan's surprise. Ilana will keep that pin forever.

-The Baroness' song, realizing what was happening during it, and getting excited and sad all at once.

-Watching Maja fall from the treeline and not being able to help

-The final push in the battle. Rowena and Elaryn (sp?) throughout the event.

-"You were doing this for money? " "Yeah" "Throw them in jail, the last batch did it for their families" "Wait- Well, I mean-" "Nope! Already admitted it was for money" "I... well... damn." Also the jail sentence 'addition' of teaching them how to get real jobs.

-A lakeside chat about the past, present, and future
(also wildmage 'pocket change')

-Agaurran wakeup call in the middle of the night

-This morning was strange, simple as that.
