July Event Highlights

In absolutely no particular order...thank you to everyone who helped me Friday...I was pretty low and you guys are awesome. Special shout out to Ben......garlic knots

Wanting to be guildmaster so bad but not this way with people losing magic. Now that I have it I'm just terrified I'm going to screw up and let people down.

Nallick never really interacted much Tari found him completely adorable in his absolute shyness which made giving him bad news all the more heartbreaking.

All the new people and NPCs were awesome. Especially the two guys who stayed in the mages guild you're hilarious and welcome back any time.

Playing a noble in new player zone and feeling horrible when they were arguing they let me die.

Jenn F talking about all the ways her goblin wanted to cook me was hilarious.

Keavy.....known her for awhile Tari just learning what an amazing ally she can be.

Danni making jokes about ice cream cones, Tari laughing and keavy pretending to not know why just made it more hilarious.

The birth of sir noble. You know who you are. Thank you for helping me when I was supposed to be giving you information.

Hanging with sir pluvious. I never get to spend that much time with you, so much fun.

Being so dumb and taking forever to figure out how to end Sunday mod. Jeff thank you for being patient and practically walking me to the answer.

Lieing to one of my closest friends repeatedly. All the guilt, having another PC tell me I lie well didn't help.

Ritual to set time right. Steve is always amazing with sorcery.

Last and definitely most important. Thank you to Craig and everyone else who saw right after the ritual that I was really sick. I really appreciate you guys calming me down and helping me I'm not sure what would have happened if you weren't there.

i was so excited to be back after being away for almost a year, and this month's game certainly didn't disappoint! thank you to everyone who made shey the hulahooping gypsy feel welcome ig and oog!!!

my memory's fuzzy but from what i can recall, highlights:

friday:

ig and oog hugs from many old friends
between new paint and new hair, i heard a lot of "ch-charcoal?? is that you???"
also "are those your real eyes?"
near-immediate bard shenanigans and charcoal's first interaction with lorestri (and watching rowan slowly lose control of her temper)

saturday:

meeting lots of new bards!!! can never have too many
my first teaching lesson- teaching nocturne of recovery to master silverbow was phenomenal though i was very very nervous and of course sad to see that charcoal's first pupil will never be able to see the fruit of her efforts
the events that occurred during the feast are far from highlights but the rp surrounding it as depressing as it was stunned me
putting my extra 40 build to work by passing out fanfares of victory with finally enough mana to do so
red vs blue goblinoids
my first tower mod!
hulahooping with shey (and making a good 46 gold from a very appreciative audience)
catching fireflies and delivering them to various people
sharing cherries and chocolates and jerky- the best way to make new friends is with food!!

sunday:

kraken mod dragged a little but for the most part was really fun!! there were some npcs that were really getting into it which made the whole thing worthwhile. plus teaming up with some people to grant +5ish strength to that one guy who was attempting to reel in the kraken with line and bait was priceless
plus hearing screams of 'charcoal's down!!' after being knocked down by 1000 ice when the kraken died was kinda sweet. u//w//u
shey enchanting everything with lightning
the kaladonian feast made from the 'kraken meat' was so satisfying

lowlights:
losing my ukulele and finding it thrice (i should really get it attuned to me)
mosquitos only found me on saturday-sunday but damn they went to town
paint coming off far too easily in this heat no matter what i did to seal- i'm makin' a human pc soon mark my words

it was an amazing event and i'm excited to return to see what august will have in store!!!

Lois had been worried about Goggins for a while, and she finally pinned him down long enough to discover a number of very alarming things - and just in time, apparently, to avoid a "Doggins" scenario (Cory, that pun is still making me giggle like mad, terrible as it is!). And he finally stopped calling her Madame! How romantic

I believe we have no-one other than the illustrious Mister Zach Theis to thank for that particular slice of genius

I have to say this was definitely a awesome event and change from not actually playing an insane Raxas and getting to interact with people completely throwing them off on what was going on (Roleplay for the win)

Steve All i have to say is GET OUT OF MY HEAD! Awesome mod though i should have been more proactive with my skills but the character was to scared with the pitch black

All the chatting protecting the INN and those who stayed behind during main.

All the RP this weekend really it made the weekend so much fun! Hope some of you that normally interact with me got to see the change in Raxas from last few events till now.

Jtinney and medical staff, thanks as always for watching out for my poor head better then I ever could.

Friday Night:
Brought out Zinnia. After a long journey away from everything she has ever known, she ends up in the most terrifying place she could ever end up; Travance. Upon entering the very packed bar,she quickly escapes to the outside, just to have Arza come rushing up to introduce herself. Completely out of her element, she immediately went into full fledged "stranger danger" mode and began to really panic and plan her escape from this strange place. Fortunately, Boryev(a member of her kumpania) finally showed up, and the day was saved, for the moment.

Getting to play someone who was uncomfortable in her own skin, and terrified of every noise and shadow in the town was a HUGE change for me. Once her family was around, she did finally start to settle, but she was pretty well set on the thought that EVERY person who lived in the town was completely off their rocker. She was sure she'd never ever ever ever come back. At least she was until Saturday morning...

Saturday morning treasure hunting with Sergei and Boryev. Zinnia got to enjoy the company of her two good friends, and not get attacked for a while. It really made her see a better side of the town she hadn't previously(the side with the monies). Also, her slowly becoming more comfortable with talking to others. Had her family not been around, she probably wouldn't have been quite so willing to talk(ever, at all, to anyone.)

Teasing Jorik about his prisoner. "Trust me, we won't hurt him at all! I don't even like blood!"

Switched over to Danae midday, and coming out right as the town was making a group to go down to the caves. Having Goggins decide for WHATEVER crazy reason that Danae looked like a trustworhy type, and dropping off a hobbit for her to babysit. Danae of course being rational, decided that the only course of action was to take the new to town Hobbit bard(better known as Wheezy) to the caves with her. Her logic being that, while the caves might not be very safe, she could definitely watch over Wheezy better if she stuck with her, then she could if she left her behind at the town. Wheezy had a great time down at the cave, and Danae successfully kept her hobbit safe.

Mass went from the smallest saddest little affair ever, to an awesome well attended service. It ended up being an amazing mass, and Danae was happy to attend and listen to all the sage advice. Maybe one day she'll speak at mass herself, but she doesn't consider herself a talker, so for now she contents just to listen.

Willpower lesson from Bat Cooper. Having to go talk to....Mages(yuck!!!) Having trouble finding said mages. Having mages REALLY confused as to why she was taking notes. One of the last mages she talked to was Gideon, who she very much respected. Gideon, deciding her willpower lesson wasn't hard enough put her to the test by intermingling their blood, and letting her see the weave for herself. Followed by a few moments of blind panic while she tried to remind herself she couldn't kill/harm/mutilate/attack/verbally abuse the Knight Protector she was a Vassal to.

Spending time with Lucien, and discussing how both of them ended up in town due to a dream from Valos. Bat Cooper joining in to finish the Willpower lesson.

Main mod and group smashy bits. I loved my group and all the people we kept adopting. "Oh you need a group? SURE we can take you!!" Main mod was excellent, and I really enjoyed getting to watch out for everyone in the group until I had to go sit out the rest of combat with the med team(boooooooo.)

Sunday morning NPCing a bunch of mook skeletons that were wreaking havoc upon the late sleepers of Travance. Having people not really how incredibly squishy we actually were. To be fair, there was a TON of us, which is why we had to be squishy.

Followed by..... THE KRAKEN. I probably had waaaay too much fun trying to drown towns members, but seriously, how often do we get to do something like that?! It was fun, and exhausting, and I'm a bit sore from running in and out of the water for three hours. Good times, would Kraken again.

Stuff that I missed, but brain is like blaaarrggggggh....

Friday:
Going with Arden to introduce the newcomers to Travance! Lots of fun and interesting RP with you guys
Svraki business! All the Anhil Keavy Knight-Squire bonding!
Meeting Shade by him sniffing my ear haha
LM shift! All the insanities!!
Quick Check run in full Keavy garb!

Saturday:
Teaching Namit how to florentine.
Sleep!
Caelvan, Rylis, and Rudy arrive, yay!
Minecraft the mod!! Trying to move giant rocks to get to Caelvan under the rubble, meanwhile Minecraft Steve-I mean Danny and his smithing hammer of awesome, blasted the rocks away. Also, meeting a very VERY Quinarian elf.
Blood bow! Anhil: It's squishy...
Looking for the sun card while attacking undead, also communing to find it but to no avail.
Getting Ice cream with Tari, joking about ice cream cones.
Feast!
Finding out about the deal between Corsair, Gideon, and Ardin.
Teaching Caelvan florentine!
Last minute battle plans with Caelvan!

Main Mod:
Of course, the straight path, no where else in the maze, was where the gate was going to be. Finiding it and inspecting it, not sure what to do with it, trying to take it out of the reliquary, then realizing it needed the key that Barak had. Following Barak in to see the ZOMBIE HOOOOORDE.
And then GIANT FROST SPIDER THING.
Using ALL THE DREADNAUGHT SKILLSSSSSSSS
Geting to swing multiple different things thanks to others helping me out!
Going all out crazy growl fest
After a while, starting to feel a little sick OOG, deciding to hold on to Magnus for protection while I calmed down.
Helping Rowan from being downed, and holding her tightly when she woke to her arm off and getting it healed.
Nearly getting dragged away by spiders towards the end of it.

Coming back to Kaladonia to relax, Caelvan joining, and then Anhil coming in saying he thought we were dead. Finding out Orion died
Ritual of time fixing!
Noble's meeting. Inteeeense!
Doing a purposeful knock out as part of being a Dreadnaught to suppress my temperament insanity.
Sleeeeeeeep!

Sunday:
Just chillin' out, maxin' relaxin' all cool, just hanging with Kaladonians, Arden 'bout to get schooled(in druidics), when a couple of guys, they were all in a fus! Said "HEY THERE'S A GIANT OCTOPUS! They're eating townspeople, we gotta go!" And with that happening, we couldn't say no.

(Yes, I just made a Fresh Prince reference.)

So anyway, KRACKEN MOD! Tons of fun!! Even though I got my garb wet and ruined my already ruined boots, it didn't matter. I had to much fun hearing Jeff go "I'M ANGRRRYYYYY!" when I bit the noodle tentacles! It was long, and after a while all I wanted to do was NPC a pair of tentacles haha but it was a great way to end the combat for the weekend.

Food! Pretending to eat the Kracken Flesh!

Can't wait for the next one!
