December Highlights!

I think the highlight of my year was when I apologized to a prop for hurting it's feelings.
"Tal'Riel, I've come to bargin."
Took me 5 straight minutes to realize I was interacting with a skeleton in robes.

Other highs include:
Another character changing tarot reading from Carlos, as always.
"Orophin what are you doing?" "Being the big damn hero. For I have heard the squeal of war."
Too much mage politics.
So. Many. Cheesecake squares.

Overall this event was a lot of fun. Kudos to the story tellers and everyone running the mods, especially the newer player mods.

The biggest highlight for me involved a sad tale of a down and out peanut farmer and a dead beloved pet. Everyone's reaction was priceless, from people running out of the inn because they were laughing to hard to keep character to Zach's epic face palm when I returned to Logistics with a mug full of money.

Looking forward to January!

Lets get it out of the way, since I posted elsewhere: Feast was a collaborative effort and I thank everyone who helped. I ended up being both Luis and Ree this weekend, and man, that was draining.

I wasn't connected to the main plot at all, but I had one of the best events in a long time.

Friday night teachings/discussions with Jed. Caldor's view of the world continues to grow bigger and bigger - and this conversation will be a definite cornerstone in his eventual attitude. Swift and Bear being there at the same time was fortuitous.

Midnight Mass was slightly low on attendance, but I was glad for those who were there. I I switched topics last second on an in character whim, and was terrified I was going to blow it.

Druid mod was AWESOME. I love that being a Barbarian with the racials had a direct effect. I adored the ritual and the setup, and really liked the mechanics of the monsters, even if I didn't get to fight them.

Saturday morning Shrike mod. Thank you so much Ben for letting my ridiculous ideas have some effect. At every step of the way I expected to be dying or worse, and I had an amazing time with everything.

Lessons and further discussions with Bob, Merikh, Tobias, Aldric, Nalick, Belegchand, Duncan and Haroldson. Marikh telling me an interesting story.

I spent the rest of Saturday in the kitchen, so sadly I missed a lot.

Saturday night main mod. I loved the set up. Part of me wishes I could have gone into the abyss, but It really wasn't my character's role. I spent 20 minutes dropping a seasons ritual (thanks Tris for your help), and then was ready to rock and roll. 30 Entwine with vines certainly affects the front line of a demon swarm. I also loved hobbling anything that broke through our lines. I heard the imp inside betrayed us, and we weren't surprised.

Back at the inn, I had heavy I fell asleep on Dara's leg at some point. Sorry. I woke up just in time for when I should have been going to Shrike. Instead I get swept off by clergy. Umm.... Steve, Chris, Laura... Damn. I'm just... wow. You drew out some of Caldor's deepest and rarest elements. That mod will have long, deep effects on Caldor, and will shape his person and goals for years to come. Thank you.

Sunday morning was great lessons, kitchen cleaning and interesting fall out of the rest.

More than playing a villain, more than playing dark heroes, or good heroes, or anything else, it's the interactions that make every moment meaningful.

For everything I did this weekend that I feel was just status quo for myself, it was something huge for those around me. And more than my own enjoyment, the fact that anyone I dealt with took those moments to heart for something more than what I felt they were, you are my highlights.

So thank you to anyone I got to deal with this weekend, you're the reason I keep playing!

Wow I just..there was so much that happened this weekend.

-Friday get there and enjoying some downtime with Maeve. Meet Sergei and hilarious jokes ensue that make me laugh so hard I could barely breath.

-Later bout 1am or so the younger ashby, can't spell his name but I think it's Elijah, comes and grabs a bunch of us to go on a fun quest. Look for the sword he said.. We found it all right, in the hands of a bloody demon knight who we bashed our heads against for what seemed like hours yet was only a few minute. He flew away with the sword and what was left of my pride...
I made some new friends that night though, Bear, Chimera, Alexi, Dagmire and a Romani Psion who's name is escaping me for some reason. If you happen to read this I would like to actually remember your name cause you were awesome.

-Got to be an undead for the first time in the early morning hours. However my favorite part of that night was being sent out as a boar and on my way back passing the inn and getting hunted down to be made into bacon. I wish I could have seen the results of that because person who killed me you were funny as heck.

-Saturday we went to help stop demons from busting into Lord Aleister's house. I got slayed and almost died. Thanks for the save on that one Alexi. Then I got to meet Andre and Aneera and we went on a small woodland romp. Andre your songs are wonderful.

-Finally came time to kick this demon knights butt. We had a small army and Caldor specials, thanks Caldor. We kicked butt! However I did not expect that people would be so kind and give me the gift they did. To the people who were there thank you so much. I will use it in your defense always.

-Saturday night I said nope to seeing the abyss. I do not need that on my passport thank you very much. Got to chill in second line outside and guard healers all night. Easy peazy.

-Oh my god, to whoever played Pree-Pree on sunday, I adore her. That was the best thing ever minus the crazy staff and stabbing elementals. I have never wanted to cuddle something so much as I did her. If you ever come back to apply for the mage's guild formaly Pree-Pree I, Rastiria, will be your personal bodyguard while you travel these unsafe roads.

-Oh also forgot to mention, thanks to Elias for being my teacher on saturday and thank you to the adventure's guild for letting me stay. The cabin was so festive it felt like a little bit of home came with me. Can't wait for next event. Till then stay safe friends.

I needed a break from Adulting and decided to play Carlos all weekend. WELL worth it.

All of the readings. Won't go into details, other than watching people's faces was so much fun.

Running into combat as Carlos, then realizing I wasn't playing Gideon any more... RUN AWAY!

"Can you switch my legs with Josephine's? Maybe that will keep me from running into combat..."

Flirting with a Succubus seemed like a good idea at the time...

Getting my own damn reading. Every time, I know it's a bad idea, and I still let them do it.

Lessons with Jun and the Ashby clan.

RM shift. Warlock Uncorked mod. Clytie coming down the path. "Are you here to fix the (broken NPC)?" "No, I was told there would be pie...?"

PIE MOD.

Sunday morning Hat Shenanigans.
