March 2015 Highlights

This was an amazing event for me. for the first time in the fout years that I have been playing, I was able to dive face-first into the plot. essentially doing the footwork for the people getting ready to perform the ritual.

Another major highlight was all the amazing RP with Atrus

and lastly, all of the tea.

there are actually a lot more things from this event, but those were the main three things that I wanted to mention.

well, got in a little late for my liking, and NPC'd first off the bat. It was going okay, despite the accidental kidney hit, and a couple accidental head hits. then we got back and I noticed another player with the opening stages of hypothermia. In kicks the Jarhead.

"She's in the beginnings of hypothermia. I'm going to get a thermal blanket in my truck."

"Go."

Dealt with that and a friend with another safety issue, and finished out my night and went to sleep.

Saturday went slow, till the healers told me that they needed to get to the focus. Surprise, Seamus is there, so I simply reply to this with a simple answer "Top o' th' day ta ye, Seamus."

New Blood Spirit, Big Bear mod.

"Burk, Run!"

"If it comes to that, I'm willing to take one for the team."
"huh?"
"I said 'If it comes down to it, I'm willing to take one for the team'."
"Oh."

acquisitions and saved items were useful. Useful Celt is useful.

"Somewhere around, there's a wendigo with a terminal case of Forgiveness."

Learning that as a Valosian and a new found Cavalier, he has some cultural adjustments to make. Sorry Reece again for the head hit, but your weapon drove my shield into my head and it threw me off.

"Alright, laddies...these cultists ha' been in th' dark too long. Let us show them th' sun."

Main mod: the Premiere of the Blood Anvil, the humongous Mithril shield with the blood Spirits insignia on the front of it.. All the crushing blows. "I bring th' wrath o' th' highlands!" Cue a single combat lasting roughly 30 seconds against a high level cleric of Malyc in a Mano a Mano fight. Not bad for me, as I see it. I'm not that big. I was doing well until the crushing blow. Dropped six times.

Conversations with Lord Gideon and Anora. I think that Anora was thinking she had a Celt brawler on her hands and was a little shocked.

Discussion with Kleidin on Druid Ethics.

"What does it mean if a druid says you're a badger of th' north? One back home said tha' ta me and I was confused."

"Tha' was kind of a dick move, Sir Caelvan. Taking me Glengarry."

That's all I got for now. Till next time, put your headlights on when its rainy, never travel Travance alone and wear enough layers to keep you warm.

Friday night

Fighting Fredrick all 3 of the npcs playing him. Come to realize that every time me and Bill (grimkell) fight npc or otherwise I somehow trip over something and end up on the ground. Great mod Run by Matt.

Saturday

Master warrior lesson with Magnus... "Hit me ten times" breaks 3 limbs except my left arm, drink this alcohol and he then picks up Donald's large shield... Now it's time to start....

During main get teleported to Malyc's throne room. Creepiest thing I have ever witness in travance but absolutely awesome to watch

Walk back to barracks to pack up, the barracks had a bunch of spirit leeches in it.... Knock on door... It opens and get chased make it 3 feet and get hit by 2 slaughters and then killing blowed... Thankfully there was healers in a sanctuary inside to save me....

Can't wait for the April event

Stream of consciousness style.

-Karen's valuable card insight!
-Liz actually showing up for a few hours, and getting to spend some time betwixt healer things!
-Travancian tales time with Swyft, Mae, Astrid and Quan Liu. Still trying to shake the image of Edwin engaging naer-do-wells in his small clothes!
-All the teaching. All the being taught! Duncan as usual, tailoring his lesson to his student. Had the wonderful coincidence of being asked for two lessons that could be taught at the same time, with Angrin's Unarmed Prof being a perfectly suitable vehicle to Dominic's Iron Body!
-Cool heads in a hot kitchen! I love you all, even if I can't keep your names straight.
-Kaladonia being a little too effective at dealing with corrupted rangers. All the inviolate form. My back still hates me.
-Wendigos of unusual strength. Broken limbs hitting a personal record of 16 in an afternoon.
-Slippery Nalick is slippery; to the benefit of all in periphery!
-The few short interactions had with various incarnations of Elias through the weekend. This is as fast as I can say numbers!
-Becky's new alt giving me a case of the "you bear a striking resemblance"s.
-More rp/chill out time than I usually get with Luis. Excellent as ever!
-Full on trade magnate weekend. Didn't hit my lifestyle, but totally have it covered for a few months ahead given some small trades. Got myself a mod breaker/full on BAMF potion to use at some point in the near future!
-Delightful little bits of rp with Duncan, Mae, Quan Liu, Fyodor, Thalia, and Cecilia.
-Why is irritable Anhil more fun Anhil?
-Getting to watch over intermittent bits of Seamus/Marika rp during MM. Top notch stuff there!

And of course, getting to spend the weekend with my chosen family! Looking forward to dropping a total 180 on y'all for alt event!

Anything I can say will be overshadowed by this:

Thank you to everyone who took care of me, asked if I was OK, or put up with me while I nursed my bad back. I'm 95% better, but I didn't want to risk rolling that 5%. You know how my sorcery rolls were...

I GOT TO TOE TO TOE WITH MATT MAGNUS.
HOLY SMOKES.
WE BEAT EACH OTHER UP WITH FAKE SWORDS GUYS.

The pie candle at the scholars table and all of the lies it held.

Dear Knight Realms,
I am continually impressed by your willingness to step up to make sure that your fellow players are safe and secure in bad situations. I cannot count on one hand the amount of times i saw people go the extra mile this month. Thank you.
