February Event highlights.

Though I'd start this thread. I just want to say thank you for everyone who braved this cold weekend to come and play. I really hope you enjoyed it. I also want to thank Gene, Christine, Conor, Dave, May, Bill and Gina for helping write and NPC this event.
Now to sleep

Well this was an un-planned event for me

Up until about the Saturday before game, I had planned on missing this event due to work concerns (a 16 hour shift before and an over-night shift Sunday into Monday bookending the game weekend. Then the closer the game came, the more the concept of driving up Friday became a thing.

So much a thing, I changed into my garb *at work* and drove up in it- getting in at half-past midnight.  Cloak and w-armor meant warmth in the cold. More than many thought.

Anyways… Highlights Friday into Feast Saturday:
A divinity lesson from Aldric and a drunk Mother Lenore was…. Enlightening.
Doing the Guards Work…. Again…. And not getting paid for it.
Discussions about the newcomers… and their message.
Actually reading some of the Scholars Table stuff. Interesting….
Then there was the Bear and the Rescue.

The morning of Saturday brought the discovery of a half-brother to the Old Sword. Well shit… That was unexpected. :huh:
Consoling a Mother Remi over her role in having Pax come to Travance…. and really leaning some history pertaining to him. Assassin? Oh no, no, no, no, no
More suspicions about Pax and his “message” had me researching…. and forming a plan when backing BIrgitta when she met him and his folks.
The compliment from Christine Beard on our veteran Roleplayer preparedness when learning of the plan after the meeting.  :lol: :woohoo:
Volunteering for Feast Serving and cleanup…. Had me miss 95% of main mod but clean up needed to happen.
The scene with Bill’s NPC at the end was awesome. Duncan was not letting that one die needlessly… And Billingham’s solution was stellar. Kudos to you Gene!! :lol:

Recipe for a Streetfight from Hell Master Warrior Lesson- take two young fighters (Argyle and Maveth) and add three skilled veteran warriors (Oren, Philidn and Duncan). Beat-down halfway and toss in a leaping young Emerald Huntsman (Caelvan) to finish off the drubbing/lesson. Much was learned by the young ones… and a return challenge back at us.

Just as fun, if not more so… was the requested reverse lesson on Overwhelming Odds fighting and how we would do it. Ilune, Argyle and Maveth versus Oren and I turned into a productive lesson for them about best defense being a wicked offense. *grin*

BTW, Iluyne, punching your own sword is not good idea. :pinch: :oops: :pinch:

In bed by 0230, up at 08…. Then its packing to leave as I had work Sunday night….. which is where I post from now.

The number of revelations that occurred this weekend that I *can’t* talk about…. Really has me wondering what March is going to bring about. :whistle:

So yeah…. 19 days and counting!

In no particular order:

-Lake of Acid in Evernight mod. Alternate Ava was a priestess of Andorra. Who knew! Had lots of fun despite the trek in the snow and my short legs not doing much to help walk in it

-Philidin's portal leading back to his bed. Ava spitting on him for not warning her!

- Potion of Everlasting Peace randomly appearing next to Ava...multiple times after yelling that she didn't want that peace.....avoiding them all

-Talking to Pax and Bill's Satyr. THAT IS HOW THEY GOT ME. Though the talk with Bill was A++ in the fact that it gave Ava a reason to believe that peace could be obtained in ways she wasn't doing already. Can't go too much into exactly why but even though I didn't show it it really did impact her more than I thought it would.

-Being ordered to drink an antidote to be...not peaceful. Peaceful Ava is scary.

-Philidin not immediately killing Ava despite every disagreeable thing she said. Philidin also learning a lot about the person he taught...not sure if he regrets teaching her now but you know...

-Talking to the Count with Jack and Cyndra. Went very well....now hopefully it ends well. Ava pulled the politeness out all of her politeness and kindness for that talk, leaving her very drained after.

-Yelling at Pax..kinda? at Main mod once everything devolved into fighting. Thus proving to Ava that peace without destruction wasn't actually possible and that the niche she filled, was what she had to do. Inner innocent Ava was absolutely wrecked as another attempt at solace that wasn't natural to her wasn't successful.

-Billiam jumping off Ava's shoulder to get someone in the rafters. It was pretty sweet.

-Speaking of which, Billiam's talk. Not often that Billiam doesn't just tease Ava.

-Upset Ava all event.

-Feast was super yummy and satisfying !

Even though it was so cold I had a great event! I really appreciated the plot as it incorporated things that you usually don't see in weekend plots, letting the not usual people take some of the lead! I know my plate is full already for next moon and I'm excited for next game already! Thanks for a wonderful event!
