January 2017 WENDIGYOLO REALMS Highlights

So where to begin.

Fumble teaching how to open smith. That was a first.

Wendigo attack the barracks and take away poor poor maer. To be just sitting there minding my own crafting business and a wild zipeto walks in and attempts to scare the piss out of me. I say oh don't worry people will be here soon. He shows back up and makes a good giant show of things. Scaring most the pc's half to death.

Sunday breakfast followed by Mass after waking up Rudy. 3 Brazenites at a mass. fun times, getting my legs broken twice, not fun lol.

Supply orders, not smithing til 2. That's different, and odd and I don't know if I like it .

Thogg situation. That caused some heart ache later.

Deciding to not risk sitting at a my forge to weather the blight storm. Hindsight probably coulda made it. And I got to make sure Lois didn't go off alone.

War lesson from Utgard. YESSSSSSSSS.

Costco Run for things cause who has pasta and no cheese? Not this guy

Feast and feast clean up. For once I was done at a reasonable time and happy.

Standing by at the inn for main mod.

Disappointed dad talk from Cinder. That hit like a truck.

Being sad, deciding to go stand out in the cold for an hour for perspective.

Witnessing a crime. Brazen knows what you took. Hope you didn't die running down the hill, can only imagine the ice.

Sunday fun day of smithing. Good times and learned some things.

Not to forget the 2.5 hour chat with Romeo after loosing all track of time after things. Oops but it was good and a great time.

While IG getting a professional massage listening to Faun as performed by Creepy and Trent (a wonderful background) everything was wonderful - or would have been if Norm would have waited ten more minutes before bringing in the Primal Blizzard.

Hearing something outside at 0 dark hundred, going to the door of the Pendarvin Statehouse and finding it stuck. Gave it the hard shoulder (my good one) and it resisted twice, before opening into the inert body of Chet who was lying dropped in front of it with a Windigo over him. Yanked him into the statehouse, laid hands and chewed him out for his midnight stroll by himself. Next day, I offered him a piece of cake and he took it, saying, "Oh, thanks for saving my life." I've been trying to find a way to interact with Chet and I guess this was the beginning.

Good talk with the Magistrate in the Statehouse.

Feast was hot, filling and tasty. Congrats to all involved.

Fight vs Demons - all the NPCs were superb. We had fun.

Being introduced to a new protege of Rhione, Utgar and Pluvious.

Made a special order breakfast for Starling who when I brought it out to her thanked me. I replied that asking nicely and having good manners is a major plus.

A good game of chess with a newb, whose name I must get. After gaining a serious material advantage, I broke it down to a simple ending, to show him how a pawn to the good is all it takes. I had fun.

Serious, but brief, RP with Tari and later, Ib. Both had the good sense to not respond.

Magic lessons with Marcus and Ebony. One can always count on Marcus to provide unintended comic relief.

Sunday morning breakfast Norm got a bowl of milk and gave it to Swyft, who reacted like a cat. He hopes to be able to train her.

I'm calling this the do-over of my first event, and even though we only stayed for Saturday (largely thanks to the cold I'm still getting over), it was a pretty excellent do-over. Thank you, everyone!

Highlights in a nutshell: getting pulled into situations that forced me to go running around everywhere meeting people.
Searching for a priest of Galladel after the frozen bodies were found led to meeting just about every OTHER priest around, and getting into a few good conversations once the situation itself was resolved.

Shortly after, I make an exasperated offhand remark to Thalia about "maybe we should start a Messenger's Guild!" when we were both fed up with searching the entire proper for the right people.
Not an hour later, this exchange happens:
Thalia: We're going to need somebody to run back and forth between buildings and make sure they are covered -
Kalmia: I believe you said something about starting a Messengers' Guild.
Me: I... I just big-mouthed my way into a job, didn't I?
Thalia: Are you volunteering?
Me: I think I've just been voluntold.

And it resulted in some of the best RP of the day - I admit that I'm pretty fast, and my escorts kept ending up in battle or having to patch people up, so I kept having to find someone new to run to the next building with me. Thank you to the the Guards, the bards, the fastest physician in Travance, and everyone else who helped me figure out my way around, offered me water or gave any other form of help to keep a messenger alive. (A messenger who is very interested in some of the doors these involvements have opened.) The roving Wendigo battle in general was pretty excellent - appropriately scary PC/NPC ratios at times, and lots of fun playing whatever effects they threw at us.

Volker (Dan)'s personal highlight was watching Thalia head the investigation like a boss, and hauling around stones to keep people from stepping on the totems.

Props as well to everyone who NPC'd the demon fight for risking life and limb on the ice - including the one guy who hit the slippery patch, slid out, and crashed into a player's leg, gifts and prizes first. Never got your name, but you're the real MVP for getting up and coming back to fight us.

Proving that Abby watches too many forensics shows!! LOL!

You three were all fantastic! Looking forward to seeing what else you get up to in this crazy town.

Thanks for giving us a second chance!

That was Jean Mezic, he was dodging me at the time, slid under me and hit that patch of ice.
