Oct 2014 - highlights

First of all, a special thanks to Sean, Christine, Marcella, David, and Onca for all your help when I peppered and pestered you with questions on Friday night! I couldn't have done it without you guys.

Even if you weren't wielding Bloodtide yourself, it may still have had an effect on you. As for me, I headed down to the Monastery almost as soon as lay-on happened. It was there that I spoke with Brother Aldric and after fumbling over a question that confounded me for some time, concluded my lesson. Dave, I loved the roleplay and definitely need to interact with Aldric more often.

Surprising both Angeliana and Mother Remi with the news, was terrific. I would like to thank them for guiding me toward the right answer to that question.

Silliness! There was a minor medical incident late Saturday night. Swyft and I retrieved the rickshaw, but never ended up using it. Later on, Swyft came up with a rhyme. "Travance, where we take hearts and cats pull our carts!"

Saturday night found me in the Dragon's Claw with Verrill and Daniel at the bar making non-stop puns about their mirror selves, some of which I cannot repeat here. One of Daniel's was, "I was beside myself with anger."

The rest of my Friday night was spent in the Bloody Stump, and I have a handful of witnesses that I had quite a bit to drink. Nothing was broken, I can assure you. But Sindarion and I goofed around while also having a heart-to-heart. Then Morwenne showed up briefly and said I may have a drinking problem -- I hadn't been drinking enough! From there, Sindarion and I proceeded to Sanura's tent. I enjoyed our conversations there.

Saturday night, I arrive at the bar at the Dragon's Claw at just the right time for someone's bachelor party. The bachelor himself greeted me warmly, as did the rest of the guests. Galen, great job on the singing! Most of us ended up falling over each other and "sinking" into the floor.

The goblin band on Sunday afternoon! One of them playing what I think was an autoharp with a hunk of bread! So entertaining.

I'm not used to Sunday being full of drama, but then Sir Cypher started attacking people with Bloodtide and I went off with Cecilia to search for him.

Amizar always shows up at just the right time with a glint in his eye, and while I never know what he has planned, it's an adventure. Sorry, Nigel.

More fun in the Bloody Stump on Saturday night, albeit sober. Argyll, Tessa, Wylla, myself, and several others gathered inside, having a laugh. I sang an original song and surprised myself with how easily it came out. I was rather hesitant to begin.

Sunday afternoon, Jonas Kane emerged from the kitchen with arms full of bread and began to give it away to everyone he could find. Outside the Inn, Clytie mentioned to me that she now possessed a mastery of fire magic. I raised my piece of bread to her to celebrate, and we "clinked" with the bread. She said "Bread toast?" and I lost it. I was on the ground and overcome with laughter, while Clytie reveled in bringing me to my knees.

Teaching "Lyric of Inspiration" to Valentine on Sunday afternoon and learning more than I was teaching. Thanks again.

I may be missing a few things, but I thoroughly enjoyed this event.

This weekend was just amazing! I really liked the new main mod format; the storytellers did a FANTASTIC job, and it's always the most fun for me when the puzzle pieces that we've been working on for the last year finally fall into place!
Friday:
-Debuting Matilda - although it was something of a slow start. Discussions about Witchhunting with Kleiden at the inn.
-Thalia's broken staff being a thorn in her side all weekend.
-Catching up with Lois, Tris, Illeryn, Mirwen, Nalick and the others.

-Bringing the five members of the Cult of Pesmerga back through the focus and the RP that continued between them, myself and Duncan and the Vice Captain of the guard at like 4 in the morning. I've been told that the look on my face when I realized WHO I was bringing back through the focus was amazing ;P

Saturday:
-Finding out that the cult members had been burned "by the church" and getting REALLY pissed.
(EDIT: Still a bit confused as to whether they died once or twice... I was told twice but maybe it was once? Either way. Crisis of faith!)

-Finding out about the children at the orphanage.

-One-on-One RP with Lawrence, discussions of Healing, and lessons.

-Main Mass: Speaking about the children on behalf of a friend. Thalia having a crisis of faith in the middle of mass.Labell preaching forgiveness in the face of what happened to the cultists. I can honestly say that I was not expecting to start crying in the middle of Mass...


-Druid mod, which lead to accidently stealing Typhon away from Gideon and Kleiden's wedding. Drawing druidic circles in the grass with a borrowed sword.

-Lorelai kicking Thalia out of the kitchen and lovingly threatening her if she didn't sit down and eat for once. (Love you Onca!)
-The scene between Thalia and Illyrin on the steps of the Inn post-Feast. Still bummed that I'm not going to be in attendance at the ball.

-Pulling Lydias through the focus. Thalia now has a new record at 6 people in one weekend. She really doesn't want to increase that record.

-Saturday night bar/kitchen shift being interrupted by Daniel, Ilana and a few others rushing in and asking where the Unicorn was. I'll admit it took me a few moments and two iterations of them telling me what they were looking for before I realized what it was and ran to get it. Because we'd moved it earlier and I wasn't sure if it had gotten moved. Which lead to the realization that Valdan had hidden the stone in Travance without telling anyone and Thalia being flown out of the Proper (thanks Bat!) to go get answers!
Also led to Abby being white head-banded the rest of the night Needless to say she understands why he did it but the cursing she did after finding out was TOTALLY justified >.<

Sunday:
-Matilda and Archibald FINALLY finding one another
-Matilda being asked to take over the orphanage where those children were being held. This should be fun! Which reminds me... I need to go write a missive!

May be getting to the next game late Friday, but I will be there! Have fun at the ball everybody!

This event was so enjoyable and a lot of players had fun through out the entire weekend! Thank you so much for an amazing time at KR, Kirsten!

Highlights:

-Lessons with Tobias (the physician, not the smith ) and the theoretical conversations that pursued. That must have been by far, my favorite role-play as my PC all weekend!

-Heroic Brutes - The Fighting Pit! How to describe it? Hardcore, Fun, Epic, Entertaining, Brutal, Timeless, Rushing...the list keeps going on.

-The Cultist Orphanage Mod. It was so enjoyable to be able to challenge the morality of the PCs during this module. The NPCs had a fun time coming up with our characters and getting into the elementary classroom RP before the mod started. Thanks, Chris, for being a twisted person and writing great mods!

-Meeting up with an old friend...or enemy. Let's go with frenemy.

-Experimental Sorcery! Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of the behind the scenes aspect of that. Christine, Bill, James, you are all very inspiring. Thank you for rolling with the punches!

-Fooling around with spells and powers on sunday when no real threat was eminent. Thank you to everyone who put up with my mind attacks and the character's difficult personality.

Playing a orphan with my freakish long arms the rp before the pcs even got there.

Edmund distracting Gin Ginny then throwing my dead orphan body against a wall.

Finding myself spending more time or keep running into certain members of Alisandria to the extent of actually starting to get comfortable around them....nice change

Rp and crazy talk with Rudy...hey im the first mage barbarian

Kiellor

The odd and somewhat dirty mages guild meeting was both hilarious and different

Finding out ig that someone tari taught betrayed her, having to manage that anger (done poorly) with being a responsible leader. He almost saved himself but in the end, tari had to execute him. Lots of oog guilt

Thank you to both Danni and Dustin for really listening to me and taking care of me when I was so upset.


Seriously having Winterdark and really Sir Pluvious come through for me. That whole night, and all we did was amazing. I had so much fun, loved you guys and really having a whole new respect for you guys.

Getting so caught up in the moment, not realizing till later and much embarrassment that i stripped off my skirt in front of two of the most regal nobles I know.

Sunday..oh Sunday loosing all faith in Kaledonia and really thinking maybe its time to go...once again Anhil making sense and once again him being the only reason tari is waiting to leave to see if things improve.

Jason im so sorry I really didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I still really love you and your pc, just hard when you begin to see chinks in the armor you weren't expecting.

Karkats shenanigans

Getting to know both Merikh and Terzai a bit better

• Billiam: "Hold this..." *hands off a wooden beam* "...no reason."
• Despite all the mishaps in the fight with myself, it was still pretty cool to say that in a fight between me and myself we both won.
• An unexpected situation that caused several insanities to trigger at once all leading to a long conversation in the rain (which was good) leading to me currently being sick because I stood out in the cold rain for too long (bittersweet, but still awesome overall)
• Litany #1, look at all these bodies... boy Torc is cleaning house... maybe I should stop him...
• As usual, good times in the shack.
• Having a shift that I didn't have to run alone as both marshals, even though the rain kinda ruined my plans.
• The unexpected union, and watching the looks of horror it's causing.
• Lintany #2, well if he's going to die... he may as well die cleanly. / Also Oh look, bandits! Time to play pokemon.
• Courage lesson with Renée, twas a fantastic RP scene
• Litany #3, perhaps in death you will finally learn...

1) run awesome bar
2) break bone in hand (confirmed via x-rays)
3) ?????
4) Profit
