Second Annual Winter Festival 2014 Highlights

Donald MacFhionnlaigh: the best kept secret in Travance. Seriously, not even the count knows me.

Donald got a present. yaay!

and Mother Remi. Seriously, Mother, if you get grey horns trying its not my fault.

Hmmm.... A good event, if lightly attended.

Some thoughts....

Kanas winning the Martial event? That's what I get for not signing up in time.
Walking with the Count. Entertaining to watch interactions...
Question and Answer session with His Grace....
"I heard the Blood Spirits are looking for a contract...."
Visited the The Wigwam and it is awesome.
The stews were excellent.
Conversations were just as good. One hopes more is to be had.

On a side note.... the builders of the bonfire were obviously not boyscouts.

Steve and Tori- you two looked like y'all was having fun tending bar.

A generally good relaxing time to be had... and needed.

See everyone at Banquet and Jan Event!

"It's Baronially sanctioned...." - the theme of the bar this past festival.

The levels of Dead Man's Cups. Afternoon Delight, Dirt Nap, and Goodnight Moon.

Hanging out at the bar making money barking for the games, while watching people trying to buy back their gambled body parts.

Watching James get stabbed by Rodney the Scorpion playing said drinking games as the Count, and then having to go sit down in the next room with a little help from some townsfolk.

Teaching arts -and- crafts.

Enjoying delicious stew.

I'd like to start with my thanks to Gus, Zach, Kayla, Charlie, Steve, and Tori (with honorable mention to Matt C. and Mark) for the hump-busting to make sure folks had a fun event.

Finally got to attend a game knight. Only packed in a game of Adventure Time Munchkin. It could use less curses... Renee's Lady Rainicorn's gender swap curse underlines why I always play Beemo. Karen gets Flame Prince-er-Ess spec built. Kevin gets Finn the truce-breaker. Alex's Jake was Jakely. Tori takes a limit break overkill win!

Charlie the real mensch. Shrimp and scallop curry makes happy sleepings. Coffee and bagels make for happy mornings for the caffieneohydrate monster. You've certainly motivated Brendan for Pendarvin, but Imrahil has his reasons to wear red and black. :lol:

Had a blast at the Pendarvin martial tournament, even with that low blow. Kanas was hungry and it showed!

I hope the folks who got to go on the flower mod had as much fun as the npc's did! Implant suggestion and riddle of confusion are too much fun! I swung 7 butter on someone in that mod... "You're pretty sure someone in that group just dropped a massive fart: Implant suggestion." :lol:

Some time for greater-than-surface-depth rp with a lot of folks. Dominic and Sir Pluvious certainly get some points this go round. Tycho gave me the kind of small talk meeting that implies I should get some deeper rp time with him in the future. Watchlist includes Maevith, the Blood Spirits - all, Erik, Dr. Armitage, Shee and Lawrence.

It's all water under the fridge. With Steve French and Oscar Goldman.

The fire at Pendarvin being much more boyscoutly.

Swyft's Disney/Jed's Aronofsky movie.

Learning of Carmac, and his candle. It doesn't even smell nice.

-The Disappointment Bar, here on this Day of Disappointment.

-Seaweed.

-Lessons from Tyros

-Team Druid scavenger hunt.

-Dr. Seuss mod.

-i finally know the good bagels place, after going to kr for how long...

This was one of my best days at KR ever. I simply had no idea that you could pack so much fun into a single day!

I arrive at KR and go straight to the bar. I end up playing bar games (I think it was called deadman's glasses or something), where I had to pick a shot to drink out of 6, and one might be poisoned. My attempt went something like this:

Me: Okay, so risks are there to be taken, so I'll pick the really obvious, really pretty glass in the center. "Drinks glass"

Bartender: "smirks" death poison.

Me: "smirks back" ignore poison.

Bartender & the people watching:

Bartender: "eyeing me more wearily now" you appear to have quite a strong stomach for drinks, sir...!

Me: "smiling" indeed!

He still had to pay me the money because, as far as he knew IG, I wasn't dying so I must not have drank the poison


I ended up getting enough gold to double my bank from those bar games, and later on I learned how to play blackjack (kind of)!

Awesome bonfire telling stories and singing songs.

Learning skills, and discussing everything from luxury goods to magic with Haroldson.

All around, one of my favorite events ever so far in my short career at KR, and I look forward to seeing you all again soon!
