April 2015 Highlights

Such stupidly amazing amounts of fun. This was Kardin's second time in Travance, and it was filled with so much adventure and awesome people. The RP this time around was quite possibly the greatest part of all.

Friday
-Performed an original song about Travance and was immediately requested politely/frantically demanded by Croínamara to perform at feast.
-Learned why Satyr's Wine is considered a poison by the Baronry AFTER giving consent to a glass (because why not? I guess). Vowed to never drink again.
-Convinced by the bartender to have an ale (note to self, learn Willpower)
-Attempted to fall asleep. After someone sleeping in the same room had insects lay eggs in their chest cavity and force them to go insane before dying, decided to set up a watch and talked to a newcomer to Travance for most of the night.

Saturday
-Performed at my song at feast and was happy about the reception. Money being thrown at my feet was definately a bonus.
-Joined up with Pendarvin to fight the Nightmare King
-After the Nightmare debacle, wrote another song for Croínamara to help her stop blaming herself and find hope again.
-Listened to her original song "Magnus Punched a Tree with his Face. Sang along and almost died laughing.

Sunday
-Attended first meeting in the Druid's Enclave, learned about the Red Rage and the recent problems in the wildlands.
-Started the three month trial period working for the Baronial Guard.
Not much happened after that, but I'm definately coming back to Travance next time! 11/10

Oh that's right... I also versed Edwin at chess while NPCing as a hunter demon. So for all those who asked, the answer is yes. You DID see a demon playing chess in the Dragon's Claw for Edwin's soul. Still lost miserably and had my horns chopped off. Like I said though, RPing was possibly the best part this time around.

Let's see...

Friday NPC shift, black oozing scaring the daylight out of many small groups even though our numbers were small, messing with people in a protective bubble by being ooze.

Finally got to craft things for me.

Speaking of crafting, helping Edmund with a few orders to watch something strange happen. Then to be in our protective bubble yelling at NPC's having a good old time.

Cake Boss break

Finished my first lesson of master warrior by using the power of my mind!

Feast, very good, glad to have helped.
Feast clean up, fun as always being a henchman.

Hear the yelling and fighting of main mod as we walk towards after we were reassigned by the count.
Cue the fighting and go go combat repairs.

Sunday, milling around and packing up.

See yall in May

Smithing in the barracks, smithing in the the rank 4 forge bubble, smithing at main mod time, when you know field repair, you can be smithing anytime!

And also, Sorry Peaches I got ya good.

and I forgot the cool down chill at the porch with Cooper, Ricky and Alex, and an every now and then pop out the window Christine.

Great event! Glad to see several old friends.

Friday:
Getting the explanation of the flood light skill in a fairly vague way right before lay-on and then realizing it was for a the Beholder nightmare that popped out immediately afterward.
Going out to the Graveyard area twice this event and trying to be helpful when dealing with some of the nightmares.
Asking Tari why she wasn't cooked more evenly.
Exploding Imps!
Curse of Madness saving my life and working out surprisingly well.
Staying up all night and getting some hang out time with Ilana and Billiam.

Saturday:
Picnic time
Chaos Orbs are great. I want one.
Trying to deal with several of the nightmares with varying degrees of success.
Lighting a mummy on fire often during main mod.
Getting dangerously close to dying during main mod.
Fun times at the phocus as an NPC for a brief while.

Sunday:
Watching lessons and listening to Karkat be an annoyance during those lessons.
Seeing the Jaxuarians come into town.

An awesome event, all around. Kudos to the entire Knight Realms family for making it great!

Friday night thought process - "Why is Steve calling Lay On? Usually, James does. The last time someone else other than James called it, it was Judge and the screaming peasants. This does not bode... ACK!"

Poking my head in the Inn at 11:30 on Friday Night, and it was EMPTY. I was literally the only person in there for about 2 minutes.

Kalamod, part 1. Knowing that Matt Calo's NPC was going to be a distraction to the main goal of the mod. Zach, you've picked an A+ cast of villains we love to hate.

Getting to bed at 4:00 AM on Friday night. Despite being an old grump and saying I wanted to get some sleep this event, I was having too much fun to actually do it.

Saturday - Kalamod, part 2. Fearing we were in a no-win meatgrinder, only to be pleasantly surprised when we took down Cormac McStupidpants. Slogging out of the mod to see the book getting destroyed, and thinking "That's going to bite us in the butt." Oh, how I underestimated myself...

CAKE BOSS! I don't think I need to say anything more about that.

While waiting for Cake Mod to happen... having time to sit down and knock out 4 Druid Lessons (for me, for once) in rapid succession.

Feast was nummy! Thank you, Sharone!

RM'ed Main Mod. Tried to pick up a bunch of water bottles from outside and bring them in so no one would break them... and I dropped one. Whoops.

Post Main Mod - RP with Utgard & others. Which lead to Kalamod Part 2, Part 2. An amazing setup and quick execution by Zach and NPCs.

Getting to bed at 3:00 AM, when Diane pointed out I needed to be asleep despite not being tired. Got into bed, put my head down, and BLAM - out like a light for 6 hours.

Sunday - Hearing the phrase "Gideon Syndrome" - not being able to focus on one task for more than 5 minutes due to everyone asking me stuff.

Talks of installing a Baking Oven in our Artificer's Forges.

Looking forward to May & WITL!
