January 2016 Highlights

I want to thank each and every one of you I got a chance to interact with this weekend.

The hate and vitrol and racism and anger was palpable and amazing.

When Edwin told Gem: "You are as big of an ass as I am." I knew I hit the nail on the head.

There were so many fantastic points I don't know where to start and end.

All the Faekin who put up with me and my first Mate's antics, thank you!
Gannon: it's not your fault, just let me clap you in cold iron chains.
Tris: I loved how you accepted and supported the idea it was only about the booze.

Asad: You were fantastic. Your hate and rage and willingness to attack me and throw me under the bus every chance you got was phenomenal! I look forward to our continued fights against each other!

All the guard: You guys were top notch. Shout outs to Aldric, Bob, Grim, Peaches, and Nalick. We understand it's because we are blue.

Gene really hates Graverobbers.

Making Steve remember a debt from 10 years ago. And it's time to collect.

Sea Witch Mod. I can't believe that happened. And everything that will spiral out from that. It was funny and intense and WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT WITH THE PEOPLE STANDING RIGHT THERE? This should be good. P.S. Yep that's my old boss. Whomp Whomp.

All the awesome people involved in the making of the box for Corsair's Heart. Everyone in the adventurer's guild did tremendous teamwork! Great Job!

Late Night Animated Object Mod.

I can't wait for the next event AND Campcon!

This event was filled with so much good RP, and Food! Seriously though I was full the entire event not once did I go hmm I’m hungry because there always seemed to be soup or sandwiches and candy or some meat and cheese slices, it was awesome thanks everybody, Feast was also delicious also loved the vegetarian option.

New player shout out goes to Snow, and just like the snow he was every where, he also provided good role play conversation. He and I also kept shouting DRINK WATER every time we saw each other to remind each other to stay hydrated.

Starting in the caravans provided some really cool immersion and made the Stories of the lands feel more real as we marched back to reclaim the town. This event I really got to step into the exchequer role and Louis was not lying when she said I would hit the ground running, I did not think that would mean rebuilding the town but it was and incredibly enriching experience and I look forward to great opportunities. The rebuilding effort was a huge part of Coran’s weekend, and one point doubted the town would finish gathering resources but everyone pulled together to get the job done. Great role-play with Thalia, and Angry and all the others who were a part of gathering the supplies and rebuilding effort.

Waking up Saturday morning and going downstairs and having several people say “Hey sorry for almost killing you last night, you just scared the crap out of us” me being confused and then realizing they were talking about my twin brother the Astral Alchemist Cainin Tanwyn, provided me a good laugh. Also thank you witch hunters for your continuous effort to help the Tanwyns with their family history.

So first off, I want to send out a HUGE thank you to the staff and players that kept camp in good condition before/during/after game. Every player that helped dig out buildings, cars, the staff that plowed, and especially to the 20+ people that helped my poor little Jeepy get free. (Note to self, she needs to see a shop, because she keeps randomly shifting out of 4-wheel high into 2-wheel high, and that was a HUGE problem on the snow!) If I knew all your names, I would list them, but there were far too many that helped.

Friday Night: I can't believe I stayed up until 4:30 am doing Tarot readings. Most of which, I'm proud to say were freakin' spot on. I'm so proud that I could RP that for people (and freak some out with their accuracy) Personal favorite? Reading a Psionist's cards, and the first round is 'Family, Love, and Happiness'. To which he cracked up laughing saying that he knew Tarot was a joke. I gave a death glare, and the next draw for him was 'Deception, Lies, and Illusion'. Thank you Psionist, I accurately read your energy. Great RP.

Saturday:
-There were people dieing in my tent. I was too asleep to care...and by the time I got up anyways it was resolved? I think? It's uncertain. To me anyways.
-Making fun of Magnus for an RP point. Sorry/not sorry Magnus, it was fun.
-Making fun of Nalik and hitting him with a bottle (RP, not painfully), because Amilia is a flirt when it comes to bards. Also sorry/not sorry.
-I almost forgot Creepy and Shade doing Creepy and Shade flirty things. And Amilia along with someone else offering as a third party to watch. Oh Adventurer's Guild, why didn't I discover you until recently?
-LEARNING LOGISTICS: I am insanely happy and excited to learn to be part of the KR team. I want to absorb it like a sponge and help out you guys as much as possible.
-Shout out to Kaladonia and the Adventurer's Guild for absorbing the Stonebars, Creepy, and I when our tent collapsed in. You are a life saver. Walking all the junk over from point A to point B, not such a highlight.
-Gambling the night away at the Adventurer's Guild. I got a gambler NPC to pay my way in, because that's how Amilia rolls. And c'mon, have you seen her new costuming? You'd need willpower against that one. (It even won me a hand or two...even if I lost it all.)

Sunday: Sleep. And all the thanks a second time as far as getting out at a reasonable time and cleaning up. I owe you all the biggest brownies I can make. All of them. But maybe not next month: If I show next month, its literally Friday Night and leaving for work the next day.

So many things about this weekend were awesome, and as it was my first LARP in a blizzard, I must say I was impressed by how little over a foot of snow impacted the event!

If I forget someone or something that happened I apologize:

- Getting there Friday and upon getting to the Adventurer's Guild meeting Snow (new player) and introducing myself as a friend of Nesterin (who couldn't make it to this event) only to have 3-4 other players do the same thing. Always great to see how open the game is to new players.

- Anxiously waiting for snow Friday night, and then once it finally started finding out the prediction went from 3-6 to 10-20 inches.

- Friday night mod was awesome, was part of the group fighting the husk of Lord Aleister, and being as low level as I am it's always better to stand back when you here multiple Slays being called.

- In the midst of the husk fight, hearing blade of victory while someone touched me and immediately calling deflect only to see that it was Zipeto and the Goddess Agaura(I think that's what it was) and being told I COULD deflect a buff if I wanted, but I shouldn't.

- After that fight there wasn't all that much going on (for me at least). Most of Friday night was spent in the Inn/AG talking with people.

- Woke up Saturday to the beginning of the blizzard. Took a look outside and seriously considered just getting back in bed. Decided to tough it out for breakfast (awesome as always).

- Learned so many things from people (well a person, thanks Brian) in the AG Saturday before NPC duty, finally seeing my character come together.

- NPC duty was mostly freezing out in the woods as an undead waiting for Steve to show up with whatever players were crazy enough to walk all the way to the maze for a mod. Of course it was most of the Witch Hunters. If I had a dollar for every time Lorelai or Peaches dissipated me while I was undead...

- Food in the AG was awesome, not sure of the names of who made it, but it was great and the cake was amazing (happy birthday btw)!

- Main mod was wonderfully convenient being in the Inn, even if it wasn't ideal it was a great break from being in the snow.

- During main mod I got incinerated and took it, going down, only to have Magnus as a NPC come over and say, "Are you down?" "Uhhh yes?" "Ok, devour, instant killing blow, you guys around me see me get stronger."

- Luckily I was carried to Thalia who upon assessing injuries did a double take when I told her I was in crit. Thanks again for the heal!

- Both poker games were great to watch Saturday, even though I didn't dare take part.

- Did pretty much nothing Sunday, just had to dig my care out and find a place to park by the AG to get my stuff out (that was difficult).

Thanks to everyone I didn't mention and again to those I did, it was a great event despite the conditions. So far I've LARPed in a hurricane and blizzard for 2/4 of my events. What severe weather condition is next?

Getting to camp just in time to throw goods in the barracks and get ready.

NPC first shift with Husking goodness. The Swash Husk didn't fair aswell as the Mage husk.

Taunting a random person only to find out it was Tork...

Finding out that there's a lot of work to do and Start assisting with the work.

Continuing to fix buildings...

After being spent both physically and CP wise, a rest and Artificer lesson before checking in on supplies.

Trying to get supplies for the repairs. The baconmancer provided once again.

Feast. Clean up. Finish after the town marched. Went around to join up. Found the front line right away and instantly put down by Zipeto. Dodge is lovely...expect from arcing cast.

Fixing yet another building after main mod with Siegfried. Realizing how bad it looked after the laughter started. Priceless

Glorious Sleep.

Talking with all the artificers and double checking on the work was done. Success.

See you people next weekend or the next event.

Forgot a quote that was awesome.
