September 2014 Event Hightlights!

~ Atrus's penance. The crucifixion, the make up, the RP, all of it. Well done John and Renee for going above and beyond. Thanks for marshaling Mark.
~ Glomm vs. Andorra, a test of her faith. Angeliana was determined to persevere. Empathy, consequences, reactions.
~ Healing an emotionally overwhelmed Ava and blowing up at Aldric, apologizing later when alone at the bar.
~ Accusations, repercussions.
~ Goggings asking for Angeliana's help. Jumping into a portal, drunk, chasing after "Pretty girl", watching Goggings steal NPC weapons was priceless. Making sure Karkat and Terezi were safe. Also accidentally offending Nate's Sylph.

~ Morgan Labelle, Celestine Tellinghast. Chats in the Monastery, all of the RP here.
~ An Angel talking to Angeliana, the emotional RP was stellar. You know who you are. Thank you.
~ Labelle whipping clergy's butt into shape.
~ Being restrained and held back from healing Atrus until true distant healing him because Labelle attacked him after he expelled him from the monastery.
~ Labelle setting divine fire onto certain letters then reinforcing the concept of family and support.
~ Jed, Atrus, shack shenanigans. NPCs... I was sad you were NPCs and not PCs haha oh well.
~ Light mass. Good turn out and some important words spoken. Aldric's mead is delicious. Thanks for sharing!
~ Lucien talking to Ava and getting emotional, holding his hand for part of the conversation, being unable to find words to apologize.
~ Caldor, Aella and Oren's passionate support in refusing to participate in Travance's plans. Angeliana did not go on any heart gathering mod. Tried finding alternate ways tirelessly and kept suggesting them and getting turned down. Walking up to several nobles in loud protest including the Count at no avail.
~ Aella vs. Kleiden. Holy shit both of you, that was intense.
~ Terezi and Atrus's back up plan for the black heart. Most clergy Angeliana sought in panic being ok with said plan if not excited about it. Being disgusted and frightened by the reactions.
~ RP with Belechand before main mod as Angeliana prayed and cried. Matt, we hadn't interacted much before, this was superb, you blew me away. Definitely one of my top highlights. Faith vs. Purpose a very emotional discussion.
~ Confessions, especially Atrus's. Wow. I am speechless. Important perspective gained.

Had to leave early. Thank you all very much for the OOG understanding, kindness, support and care you showed me during a very stressful and terrifying time for me. I truly appreciate it and apologize if I was a burden in any way. Proves to me the community at this game is great and I have some really wonderful friends here.

Until next time, take care KR family.

Great Event! Thanks Gene and all those who helped run this weekend.

Friday:
Having Tyros return to town and have no clue what's going on. Within 10 minutes of seeing people in the Inn, Horus walks in with an undead Dani and I can't find anyone around to explain to me what happened. Stalling by offering Horus a drink and telling him to sit down while I gather people.
Going to the Cairn and getting to start the ritual for locating the other hearts needed.
Meeting some newer dragoons.

Saturday:
Not knowing which character to play because two different things were going on at the same time that I was interested in and I wish I could have been everywhere at once.
Making the right decision when I picked George and followed Ilana around to meet her family.
Enjoying feast with people I don't normally get to hang around.
Switching back to Tyros after feast and going on main mod.
Waiting for the battle to start and following Horus around trying to decide when the best time was to jump him.
Randomly getting jumped by Ilana's father and being relieved that the attacks were all an area effect.
Helping Terezi throughout the fight and healing her enough to find a healer, only to watch her run right back into battle.
Mimicry on Palanthorn's White Flame! (I don't ever think I'll ever be able to top that mimicry)

Sunday:
Getting really excited for someone else's master warrior lesson and immediately buffing his teacher instead of the student.
Gathering around the Count as he handled Bloodtide. Getting singled out by the Count and freaking out afterwards.

Yeah.... about that.

Rolling out of bed and driving to KR for the first time in almost a year....and yelling at the little cloudbursts that seemed to herald the worst the entire way there.... thats how it all started...

For real, I had a great time! It was awesome to see all the people I knew, and meet a few people that I didn't! And I honestly never knew being a soul warden would come in so useful about 5 min after I went in game :cool:

-Showing up and seeing all the shocked faces
-Getting a hug from James!
-Going IG and during an encounter with Nar being very OOG amused that Mae finally reached the state of zen shed always hoped to achieve. It only took....4 years?
-Having that state of zen immediately disrupted after about....oh, say... 5 min of talking with Quan Lui. I was mostly successful at keeping my feelings hidden and staying calm but....lets just say Mae was back with a vengeance. And I have to say Id forgotten what a healing personality she was. First goal of the day was found: go into the spirit realm as a veil master and bring the slaughtered people back!
-Finding Gene and pretty much pouncing on him. Couldn't do what I wanted to do, but I did come out with SOME good(ish) news.
-That news leading to other bad news
-That bad news leading to other news that finally made things finally come to a head

I dont think Mae has ever lectured someone or really confronted someone like that ever. I needed to meditate for a few minutes and met one of my teachers students and made that happen! But yea...when Tim came over and told me why Travance was still following the plan, Mae was just shocked. And there was really nothing she could say at that point. Plenty of things to feel, but she was pretty convinced it might be treason in these lands to talk about the Count.

-Going to the inverted tower and allllllllllll that happened there. Oh my. Being possibly the ONLY person that can freely go into the spirit realm to rez someone, doing so, and then finding out that was quite possibly the worst idea ever- thats a thing. Alllll of the things. Yep.
-Feast!
-Deciding to just follow Quan Lui on the battlefield- and deciding that saving Danny from Telligrim was NOT the same as helping an evil sword be spawned. Also didn't fight the orc army that apparently was brought here TO get the evil sword forged. Did heal! Didn't fight anything but Horuss, Illana's family, and the undead. Yay morals intact!
-Coincidentally, myself and the other healer finding out exactly WHY the army was coming. Just standing there, and all of a sudden it occured to me- theres no reason for the orcs to attack us. So....why??..... Then someone telling us and the two of us looking at each other. Pretty much figured.
-Helping to save Belechand! I love being a healer
-Walking through puddles and grass and holes and rocks in heels! I love not being sick or having a broken ankle!

-Driving off into the rainstorm afterward having a small heart to heart with Quan Lui. Mae isn't sure when she'll be back but she IS sure that the Travance she knew is very much being troubled by their own morals.

I really did have an awesome time (despite the heat/humidity!). I was touched at how many people came over to hug me and I really did have a great experience. I really am not sure when I'll be back but its nice to know Travance is still there, waiting. Be safe!

PC Highlights

Getting so angry that people allowed Danny to be an undead and then being mad at Danny for allowing himself to be undead. "Death before dishonor". Capps knew what was about to happen as billliamm went silent and began shaking with anger. Then a minute later I leaned close and whispered "terrorize" the fight was fun. Then everyone stepping in was great.

Billliamm breaking his honor code by attacking a loved one in anger. ..it wasn't Danny.

Making Grimkell arrest billliamm because he felt guilty and proved the laws meant nothing.

The hanging out with Aidin and Celting around. Joking about dead family as you do and ending most lines with galladel rest his soul.

New official token from kit and finding the mithral sword I had made for her.

The subdue to Goggins as billliamm thought he was attacking his dear friend Lois.

Leaping onto the gaian alter and destroying them evil cultists. Then while raging attacking innocent pendarvin batbarians....Oops they looked threatening in the dark.

Hanging in Alisandria Sunday morning watching a gentleman pugilist.

Mass and billliamm with his many derailing

Catching Ilana by ignoring safety of myself. It was worth it

Gonna keep this short and sweet: OH THE RAIN, THE LOVELY POURING RAIN

- Thank you
