November 2015 event

Awesome fun, Awesome time, I only wish the weekend was longer (And I needed less sleep, so more things could be done!)

1.OOG, I have to side with Bladesworn's comment:

1. Renee Day... her NPC running from the town, only to get hit with an insult, skids to a halt on the gravel road behind the Inn, spin 180 degrees, then go charging back into the fray with a foul curse on her lips.

You are my hero, Renee.

During Main mod I had a massive claustrophobia based panic attack and just white head banded out and sat on the various porches until I got my senses back (after main mod). Watched that encounter, as well as spoke to some awesome new players about things they want to do in game. I may have inspired a handful of non-combat based PCs, and I think that in itself is awesome! Welcome new kitchen staff and consistent bartenders ladies and gents!

2. I walked up to a lot of people, and when they asked what I was doing/what I wanted to do/why I wanted to join them, Aimee and her wonderfully childish dryadness smiled and said "I like shinies!" Every time she told someone that, they handed her some variety of coin. No kidding, Aimee made about 10-15g through that, good job players.

3. I have to thank a million people, in specific Chris Z. and Shane J. for not actually slapping Aimee upside the head when she kept prying about "What does that mean?" and "I don't get it. This is one of those turn-of-phrase things, right?" Someday, maybe next year, she'll understand civilized humanoids and their language. But if this is any indicator, having Creepy (the mia bard) and Shade as examples for her to learn/live by? She's going to be an interesting Dryad.

4. First time baby Junior-Logistics Marshal! 10/10, would marshal again after actual training (Please let this happen, I want this to happen, really really. I like it much more than combat NPC, I hate combat.) Also had to die laughing at the mod I saw go out: "You are worshippers of Enax(I think, still learning the religions), and you want to party! Your wife just died in a horrific manner? Time to party!"

5. Jerky shall return. It was crazy well-liked, and I went through about... 20 packs. Om nom nom! Here's hoping that's enough incentive to send the boy out again.

6. Adventurer's Guild mod! Fun times, threw a lot of beanbags, used all the magics, would chase nasty things between realms again. And then be promptly decimated by them as well.


There were a crazy million more things happening, but this is what my exhausted brain reassembled pieces to after 12hrs of sleep. Probably more will filter out over time. Like exactly what the joke was between Arden...and Alister maybe it was? and hand motions about pants...

It's much more fun to leave people tormented then it is for us to kill them. Well at least from a Venier stand point. Was my idea as the priest in the group

Adventurer's Guild - Every month you guys impress me more and more. Great job guys! Your logic, ideas, and problem solving are just spot on.

Templar Testing - Dave, that was brilliant. You solved in one night what has stumped many since May. And the conclusion was perfect for a Valosion.

Gene - Fighting your NPC, unloading everything I had, only to be told "Chip Away for everything".

Spending most of main mod sneaking around and tagging Venier from behind. I actually enjoyed fighting barbarians when NOT playing a barbarian.

Jackdaw - Your RP with the Father of Sin was perfect. A+, would RP again.

Having long discussions regarding heroic lists and taking a total turn from the path I was going to go due to RP.

Hearing Venier outside, turning to Hurgar and saying " Imma go fight them", only to walk outside, and have an Agaurran packet cast Divine Negation on me. I was so dumbfounded I just turned around, went back inside, and continued eating cheese and pepperoni.

Tommy's RP as the Psion Benefactor. The look on peoples face when the Father of Sin appeared. Priceless.

OMG So many things.

Wonderful event. Guard duty - Untold. Boss why were we asked to meet here? All the council comes down. My reply. "I think I know stations like this with one rover float your stations call on sight on your paths..."

Alex Blockus well damn huge smiles and hugs. Orius Wormwood and company well well. well.

WIELD FAITH WIELD FAITH. Hold the road work in sync. "Where the hell is Argyle." "He's getting dressed" Oh great." Dodges long pole arm and attempts a backing counter in time with WIELD FAITH! IN the back of my mind I can hear SHaaalll we Dance 1 2 3 ...

Things that shall not be spoken of. I know. I thought so. Yes I suspected. Yes that was me. NO don't do that! Do this... 3 greater Undead and a split party means time to send for help in case there are more. Back thoughts isn't feast going on? Shit... I hope we get someone. EVERYONE comes down. Birgitta- "This is when I love this place. Overkill IS underrated especially right now."

Finally Coming in walking across in front of the head Table a silent look a quiet report and I'm going to eat...

Feeling like this Kitchen Skullery Maid looking for something from others plates.

"So what your saying is the advice I have the Warlord was exactly these issues down to the hands? Seriously. Good. Now what did they do with it? NO the Issue."

The heated talk at the Guard Barracks and a hugely sad miscommunication between friends. So much of that I can't say. Just amazing RP. I love you guys and there is nothing like a group you can go head to head IC with and OOC not have a care in the world.

OOG: Steve O. you were my hero through thick and thin.
IG: Pluvious was the hero and loyal friend. Amazing reveals and understandings.

Two great guys Two great Characters.

Leading to Inn Keeper Kane "I think Lady Kleiden Killed the Bards this morning. Should we arrest her for murder or reanimate the Bards just enough to play again." Alister looking thoughtful. My laughter and all the fun of three old jaded friends on the back porch could muster.

A quiet talk with Swift. Haroldsons on point perfect thank Valos you said that responses.

Later seeing him in some sort of pained attack thanking me for my concern in coming over to check on him.

A package for a newer member of town offered for sale and speaking of a murder and stolen things and they needing at least a little something. Getting a decent deal. Delivery made of course. Whomever sent out those merchants...very nicely done. Guys your making the merchants respond to what happens around you also NPC on PC (Haroldsons pain response)was great.

ON plot. Just a fantastic set of stories great inclusion awesome - problem solving necessary scenarios. So much to swing at so much to listen too and so so much to solve for XY and Z.

This was just fantastic.

Love you all welcome back old friends!

OOG: Cool! Alex is back!
IG: Crap. Orias is back.

This, exactly.
Sad Annora didn't get to interact with Orias though. Next time!

Fickle Dani, too adorable, cannot handle.

moatbeast, cheezits, hungry hungry heroes, and going mad with power!

"James, detect malicious intent on the hill."
"Yes."

main mod:
line? what line?
chasing a certain pain in the ass crow around the battlefield. BEN THIS ISN’T OVER
pulling off a perfectly executed IRL intercept/deflect, no tag skills needed.
teaming up with Zelretch long enough to torment an NPC with simultaneous itching powder and blinding fog.

intense talks with people Annora cares about, and trying to help. Why can I not do the words thing?

Friday night, getting into a shouting match with Hurgar, but being reassured that the right people have my back

Paladin talks n’ things

Paladin tipping…gods damn it Gannon!
Poor poor Godric.

Post druid mod…Acolytes are still allowed to have some fun!

Spooky bathrooms and butt portals.

Interacting with Lauren’s adorable yet psychopathic Namierra.

Popping transmute form and going full drake-raptor-cat on a mug

Venison Jerky.

Between last event's encounter with space plague, certain encounters this event, and a certain hilarious mod, I feel like Almat has kinda gotten some lovely perspective into who she is and especially who she's become over four years in Travance.

Which is FANTASTIC, as this month was my anniversary of being on Travance a full four years.

Many great moments this event, and I am so pleased with the many many many notes I have in my book from this month. Lots of really good quotes from Savava and Domag Ravik, as well as some wonderful moments from Magnus.
The best ever though, to quote directly from my book: "...I honestly don't know how to write this insane farce down"
And a little later:
Me: "This is find the lady"
The Trickster, somehow writing in my book: "You're not playing. Don't give away the ending"
I have NEVER laughed as loud and long as I did in that mod, and Almat's remembering a side of her she had tried to squash when she became priest.

Other special moments:
*Dominic's sorcery ritual. Created by someone who has no knowledge of sorcery or rituals. Getting him to show it to Tari.
*Late night talks with Jack and Cyndra (and I feel like I'm totally misspelling that name! Eek!)
*Listening in on Cyndra's druid lessons
*Getting to go on the meeting with Domag, seeing the wonderful interactions, especially Guo Chenjing's interaction at the end, and my own short but meaningful interactions with Gorg.
*Bittersweet: My first time resurrecting someone!
*Moat beast moat beast moat beast. Watching that group sitting around the table, especially Alistair's face when the goblinoids were chanting "victory lap!"
*Realizing just how much gold I could be making from rune production
*Small discussions on Songweaver time travel vs. sorcery time travel
*Teaching! I love teaching, and got to teach scholarly and bardic lessons this month
*After game, OOG realizing just how many friends I have IG and OOG, and how many people do actually value Almat and her abilities
