Week in the Life (WiTL) 2016 Highlights!

There's a lot of stuff so here's a few.

Being yelled at by Lois.

Having a conference with Lois and BOb after heartily raining on their parade in the fashion only Grimkjell can. Making a plan to bone the society of benefactors.

Memory mod with Tobias, Burk, Quan Liu, Caldor, and and Beligor.

Ree cooking of course.

Magnus' leaving, and Grimkjell's broken heart and spirit. Roleplaying his extreme lack of self-worth is heavy stuff, but it's as if the light has gone out of his world.

The Ritual to make the special Prison.

The new Galladellian priestess being super cool about her prayers and making the ritual way more rad.

Shouting matches and lessons with a certain healer.

oog brotimes with ree and Felds during the soft layoff.

Teaching several ronin students, and getting permission to teach someone Kensai.

The long interview with the Count, which mostly consisted of Grim listening to other people talk to him, and finding out how they treated and interacted with him.

NPC Games in the dark while the rest of the town was off fighting horrible things.

"I sure hope Lt Grim doesn't see us."

"Hi guys!"

Seeing Grier and her crew again. They're a great shot of new players to the game.

Interacting with Aiki, Kestrel, and Wander. They feel like a new crew and possible new family for grim, and sharing an honorable bow with Aiki before going to fight him was pretty amazing.

Seeing Faila and teaching her some new things.

NPCing an assassin duo for Burk's final Draconic legionairre lesson. He did everything right.

NPCing for feldman, from Timmy falling down the well to our invisible narrator Jeff Balla.

Fighting karen and being literally the best Berserker for the job of putting down an undead Sorceress. It's almost like making a magic-hating spell cleaving monobuild berserker finally paid off!

Sewer mod and the aftermath.

Meeting Fiona personally, finally. Grim being more or less unable to talk to her, and his one question being repeated by his brother. They really are siblings.

Watching a new recruit get brought on to the Onyx guard, and being proud that he had wisely spared him during the grand melee fight.

A whole bunch of other stuff I forgot.

Most of my weekend can be summarized as "Maer jumps head first into hell".
Joining the guard, asking to become Allyce's disciple, and being tested in a way that forced Maer to come to terms with one of his biggest fears. And no, it's not sewers, but that's still high on the list.
Maer gained a teacher, and newfound determination.

Not scarred, at least not permanently. No insanities for me!

Seeeeeeeeeeee

Perfectly fine.

Perfectly.

Fine.

Well now....
This week should have been called "Outlander: The Event".

Weddings...two of them. Yes, Donny is now a married man. He married Hazel. Once in a bride raid to foil a pursuer and then in a Gaian ceremony

Hibernian stuff. Seriously, the last two events had been rough, and this made up for it in spades.

ITS NOW FATHER DONNY THE BLOODY THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Mama Dragon and pluvious.

Argyle and Mileof

Silly sassenachs and your politics.

All I got. Till next time, wear your seatbelt, don't run with scissors and drink milk.

First off, this was a fantastic event; thank you to everyone who put it together. I only attended the weekend portion, but it was packed full of great moments!

Friday afternoon/night was pretty relaxed, but super fun. I got to meet D and watch her give a lesson on effectively breaking limbs. Her casual attitude towards causing pain and her teaching style certainly left an impression on Max.

Siegfried and Fyodor really went out of their way to make Max feel like she was becoming part of Pendarvin Friday night, as well. Thank you both!

Saturday started off strong and didn't stop until my body forced me to nap. I met all kinds of wonderful people at the inn early in the morning, especially Argyle and Jack (? I think it was Jack; I'm terrible with names) who made me feel incredibly humbled by being so willing to help a newcomer out. Max won't be forgetting that any time soon.

Magnus then sat down with us and mentioned a bounty was out on a petty thief. I set out with one of my new friends (Jack? I really need to be better with names!) and we caught the thief easily, thanks to some planning. The RP bringing him back to Magnus was fantastic and really forced Max to think. Extra thanks to the NPC for that!

Leading the skirmish with the imps shortly after was also awesome. To everyone who was there with me, you all rocked and handled Max's stress from organizing the attack like champs. Chatting with Aiki (again, terrible with names, hope I got it right) on the way back to the inn after the fight was invaluable.

Lunch courtesy of Aiki. Jun and I ate enough for 6 people. Best. Food. Ever.

Wandering the woods looking for things and discovering whole new sections of camp.

Wandering with Lake and meeting a whole new group of people that I'd only heard of until then.

Braiding ALL the hair! And snickering at all the innuendos.

Being super confused with Pendarvin at the start of main mod.

Michaela going all momma bear on me after main mod.

NPCing Sunday morning and catching an escaped mental patient who believed the end was coming.

Thanks to everyone I met at this event, you all are great!

So much happened this event, I had so much fun! First off Donny you make this extra special with how much you treasure Hazel and the rest of the Blood Spirit's thank you so much for welcoming her into your ranks with open arms.

Seeing Gwyndd again and having to explain to her everything that had happened to Hazel since the last time they saw each other. Lilith thank you for everything! Trying to catch up with all that I had missed in only one moon! Finally spending time with Donny boy Hazel had not realized how much she has missed him.

Nalick, I'm very glad we finally put that rumor to rest. I did ask Donny to not kill you and he didn't hope he did not hurt you too badly.

Pluvious taking Donny off somewhere to "talk" and keeping him away from Hazel for like four hours! She was a little worried it had not gone well. Thank you for bringing him back safe Pluvious.

Mama Dragon, love you so much you have opened Hazel's eyes thank you for your help at the Celt Bride-Raid ceremony, which I actually loved it was very unexpected. Thank you for our gift.

Week NPC shift, thank you Father Duncan for marrying the Elf and Dwarf that was so much fun! Coming out as a young Sylph who did not know that trying to control an Ogre was a bad thing, Donny you were such a good sport. Running into Pluvious and Damien and well, Damien giving a very strict lesson on friendship.

Getting my animal companion lesson with Keavy and yes some call it slavery but to me, Keavy and a few others it just means you have a stronger connection with the wildlife you use it on.

Donny bringing Hazel to the Baronial Manor on the eve of their wedding and not wanting to leave her, so sweet. Finally going to sleep which was nice since I had gotten hardly any sleep the night before.

The next day waiting for Lilith who never made it to me, but being totally surprised when Donny came in and told Hazel to put her boots on cause he was going to introduce her to an old highland tradition Bride-Raiding! Then getting to the encampment and Donny carrying Hazel into our camp! Tess and Brigitta getting her ready, the hand fasting, the ceremony by Father Duncan it was beautiful! Loved it! Heading back to the manor and Lilth whispering that I had some explaining to do. Told her I had no idea this was planned!
Waiting for the actual wedding and Pluvious being the one to bring Hazel to Kaladonia, oh my gosh I practically cried as we walked up! Walking to the altar with the swords raised above us, memorable. Argyle and Lilith joining us as our seconds, Caldor getting emotional as he spoke then Pluvious' interruption not knowing what was going on! Then him bringing Donny to his knees and me running to heal him, epic! Finally finishing our vows and then Argyle's words to Donny and Liliths words to Hazel a little bit of rain but it was perfect! Celebrating with family and friends the gifts we were giving too beautiful for words. Thank you all!

Telling Caldor that Hazel wants to follow in his footsteps and become a Priestess of Gaia getting my first lesson about being a Priestess, amazing!


That's the week portion stay tuned for the weekend portion.
