ALT EVENT "Isle of Mercy"

Was a questionable Warlock
Had Several Productive conversations with Telligrim. That reveal by the way was super intense and highly influenced how I proceeded considering how recently Leliana had shown up on the island.
Making it to Travance for a reunion.

This weekend was super awesome and I enjoyed the fact that I got a lot of opportunities to do pretty awesome things this alt event and I'm excited to continue this character

Had such a fun time at the alt event. I may have deafened myself with the 200-300 shots fired.

It was fun being frenemies with the other 3 factions.

Stand off between the outcasts and lightbringers start of the night. Then the following one at there base then eventually getting captured was great.

Npcing and burying Craig the best spider

Hearing of all the backstabbing and betrayal.

Heated words with tellegrim and then fighting him with panache and him slaughtering us with words and force.

The witch hunt. Was amazing it really showed what u could do with 2 npcs and some storytelling enteryaing like 7-8 players for 40min. Kudos James

The holy rat army of Valos. U were the true heroes

The valosion mass and baptisms. Bring the king of kings to mercy. +1 Divine +gun is my favorite thing ever signed.

The great debate of gun vs bow was fun.

I fired so many shots we smelt of powder.

Thank you all for playing with us. we had a blast having no idea what was really going on.

We may have been a pain and given u grief in game but we had blast playing and interacting with all the different characters.

Running this event was just stellar.
Everyone involved made it an incredible experience and I can't help but want to keep going.

I need to say that being kidnapped on Friday Night definitely caught me off guard more than I expected. You guys are the best and the reason I do what I do.

For once playing a character who has zero combat capability was great. Running from every violent encounter and trying to encourage everyone to solve things politely was just the best.

A+++ Alt event, would have Telligrim whole-sale slaughter everyone again.

Special thanks to Matt, Geoff, and Diane for bringing so, so much food. Seriously, at least half of my event was spent eating.

When NPCs came down to the Outcast stronghold, we made sure they were fed before we sent them back. Those were great moments.

Thank you to all the Outcasts who went up to Camp before game to help make Winterdark extra spooky for our visitors--which I'm pretty sure was every single one of you.

The look on Steve Oros' face when we brought his character to the back room at Winterdark for an OOG surprise.

Steve: "You guys are incredible."

I can't remember who said "No, you're incredible!" but they were right. Thanks again!

Thank you, Conor, for being so patient with us at sign-in.

My own personal plot twist when a barbarian has his life saved twice by the so-called enemy.

"Betraying" the Outcasts at several key moments. Returning to the stronghold sometime Saturday afternoon after having some conversations in Sanctuary and having May's character put up a wall of thorns to keep me out.

Steve Amore's face when Matt called a hold and explained what was about to happen.
Steve A.: "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

The brand phys rep that Rachael made in a day! It was used so many times, including an off-label use in an attempt to save Kat B's NPC (to no avail).

This was my first alt event, so it was a ton of fun to see people--including myself--play a character so different from the ones I normally see them play. Before the lay-on, when I saw Steve O. in his halfling get-up, I literally fell over laughing.

The brief scene in the Inn when Karfill talked to Nalick about having to leave Mercy and come to Travance and the light bulb that went off in Karfill's head after what Nalick said to him. After that, touching Karfill's arm and calling "Instill Confidence" to put the cherry on top and the look on Bill's face. I couldn't have planned it better, man!

Incredibly silly conversations with Olivia, Karfill, and Felix.

A troublemaker hitting Olivia a bunch of times with Stunning Blow. Leaning over on my left foot and reaching all the way with my staff to unload all of my Intercepts and Deflects in one shot so that she could Flee the bar. Amazing. That's gonna stick with me.

Showing up at the Adventurer's Guild building and wailing on the door with my staff until someone comes out. Jared asking me OOG whether I was okay (I guess I did it too well!) before dragging me in as Calven. Learning that actually being out of breath helps your RP. Having my broken arms mended and making my way cautiously back to the Inn.

Felix had gone missing, so Olivia and I went out into the woods to search for him. Feeling OOG nervous was great.

Sunday shenanigans are always fun, but especially on two hours of sleep. Nalick became a giggle monster and sitting down with Will B. as Oren didn't help.

Outside, I tried to ease a group of people with Calm Discourse but most of them called a defense. When I told them what it does, they surround Nalick and start acting aggressively friendly.

"CALM DOWN, NALICK! IT'S GONNA BE OKAY!"

Dogpile of "pretty women" on Magnus. Snow replying to Wili "I'm a pretty lady!" and everyone laughing their butts off.

After missing the last two Alt events and hearing the stories afterward, I was sure I didn't want to miss this one, and I definitely made the right choice. Thanks, guys.

Hashtag wars. I hope those continue, because they were fun.

Seeing all of the OOG progress pics of costumes and props and going "oh god, I'm going to die, please don't kill me".

That outcast cabin though...you guys are awesome, and I'm actually kind of sad that I didn't get kidnapped and tortured and barbecued.

Playing a scholar was a lot more fun than I expected. I had been avoiding the idea since I started because "being a scholar is too much like my real life". Turns out, you actually get to know wtf is going on and be useful, which is the exact opposite of grad school.

OH MY GOSH I ACTUALLY GOT TO BE USEFUL!!! This event was incredible, and I would definitely call it my best experience at KR yet. Having all of the players on the same level really made it so that everyone could contribute to plot (or eat people, whatevs) and it was so cool to see everyone working in harmony. Our faction alone had two necromancers, and we were all like "Mercy brought you here, and you haven't tried to kill me, so you must be alright". SCROLLS ARE THE BEEEEEST!

Octavia was going to be all stylish, but after an hour in a corset, I was like "SCREW THIS". I don't know how y'all go tromping through the woods in those things.

Spelunking! The bright idea of touching all three runes at the same time maaaaay have ended with the cave collapsing around us, but it DID reveal the secret cavern. Then, those mofos left WITHOUT ME to go explore the cave after it stopped rumbling, which Octavia was PISSED about. She and drow BFF went looking for them, ended up at the outcast cabin, and had some tasty Velosian meat. She got a sweet brand as a kind of "eff you, Il'Umar" for leaving her behind and made new friends. When the other adventurers eventually returned and showed her the journal, she was even MORE pissed, and they (understandably so) wouldn't let her see it until her brand was dealt with. YOU DO NOT GO ON ADVENTURES WITHOUT YOUR SCHOLAR!

Volcano adventures, even though it was a Skylari mission, because I'm not being left behind again, dammit. I leapt over a lava pit, hit a slippery patch of dirt, landed in the splits and skinned my knee. Whee!!

Fleshie, you were awesome. I hope you survived.

Anyway, getting to help with main story was super cool and exciting and AHHHHH I love my new character!!!
