July 2017 highlights....

Private parties gone awry. Time to practice my political skills.

I love my bar. Shenanigans generally ensue.

Bacon and Estabon late night drunken adventures: "is the focus even real?"

Using tricksters jibe for the first time. Using tricksters jibe the second time. Sorry not sorry, Gras. I love being Argenti.

Playing chess with Fenris. After his 4th move I say "Interesting."
He looks up and says "I know what that means."
"No, really. Interesting, not fatal."

Siegfried's fire circle. 5 painted rats try to sneak up just as Grim and I step in that direction.

Interactions with some Grumpy Dwarves. The kids both have great manners and were successfully introduced to scrapple.

Several business transactions with Rudolph. At the conclusion, he says "Now we are even and can go home with clear consciouses. We have an interesting relationship, with business and personal obligations being sacred.

It pays to amuse me

Discussing how to stay alive with three newcomers, one of whom asks a perspicacious question. After answering "Tell me your name.. I'll learn the others' later."

Enjoyed the nibbling approach of the Painted during MM. It worked on many levels.

First rate feast

Looking forward to disabusing people who believe their words cannot constitute PvP of the error of their belief.

Pendarvin Meat Grilling. Steve brings back the glory days of Pendarvin Summers.

Massage, IG

This was an amazingly well put-together event. Not many highlights stand out in particular, but here are some things that happened and were pleasant:

-Mobbing Nalick with the Andoran mob as an NPC. That shift deserves to be given special mention. Jeff, I almost wish I was sorry.
For those who weren't in the inn at the time: almost every single NPC on duty was sent out as an Andoran pilgrim after main mod. There just so happened to be one, single, solitary priest of Andora in the inn.

-Hanging out in Pendarvin and giving massages. I need to bring my table more often. Thanks to those who gave me food.

-Running back and forth between Lady Faruln, Sylus Crone, Jed, the Berkians, and the bar as Liighkaa juggled several important intellectual problems at once. In hindsight, most of the people I just listed are rather terrifying.

-Trying all weekend to ask a noble of some sort what peasant children need to learn, because Liighkaa wants to start a school dagnabit. She finally asked the people of Ostcliff very late Saturday night. (History and agriculture are the general consensuses. Combat keeps getting thrown out, but Liighkaa is a non-combatant and considers that somebody else's job.)

-Amizar's history lesson. I need to remember the meanings of the plates next time I need to teach the history of Travance to somebody.

-Applying paint before main mod. I had entirely too much fun with this.

-Religious debates. These are always a highlight. Liighkaa is too curious for her own good.

Oh, man, my weird woods lady didn't get wasted at ALL this event. I'm kinda' proud of her.


Side note: Feast. Was. AMAZING. It usually is, but maaaaan.

Such an amazing weekend!! Let's start with Friday night...

Jackdaw, you are amazing! You know what you did, and Reyna wants to spend more time with you because of it.

Getting to play Scarlet to take Jed to Glomm was amazing. Thanks for roping me in on this one, Padma!! I had a great time running up to the shack, shoving Darius roughly out of the way, and seeing Jed's face and hearing the usual, "You're not supposed to be here," when I surprised him.

I'm not sure if seeing Glomm as Scarlet or Reyna was more terrifying...

Fucking Mortal Hunters.... I need to get my oog disease under better control before next event (which I've been working on since I got back from last event) so I can stay out all night again.

Also, discussions with Wulfgar and adding a scar to Reyna's face. She has a lot to atone for.

Saturday...

Morning discussions with Kanas that resulted in him pulling a knife on me twice and saying, "You know what'll happen if I don't like what I hear next... Are you truly sorry for what you did?"

Brazen Mass and the lesson I received following it.

Reyna being an NPC for a new player plot in the early afternoon. I'm looking forward to seeing where that goes in the end.

NPCing a mod out by the Blood Spirits encampment and seeing people's faces when a bunch of NPCs in a small space started calling "Slay!" and then helping prepare feast for the rest of my shift.

Darius's Intercede lesson and Reyna's third Master Warrior lesson right after dinner in Ostcliff. Being taught by and talking to Rione is great!

Main Mod... Ostcliff holding their shield line the entire time and only leaving it when I was dragged off by someone to see a healer after both my legs had been broken and I was fighting from my knees to keep the line intact.

Getting a little bit more of Mileof's story late at night and fireside talks with Ostcliff.

Blight mod. Also known as the mod where I was about a minute away from crit and bleeding out on the other side of the battlefield from the rest of the fight.

Kanas's personal plot. I didn't think I could escape getting a disease after touching a disease carrying rat, but the roleplay worked out in my favor.

Biggest Sunday highlight beyond the usual shenanigans was coming back from being off the Proper and hearing that Mileof had been turned into a lycanthrope and then back to human because alchemy. Reyna was scared half to death before she heard the turned back to human part, and then there was a lot of, now you understand the hell I went through when I was turned four years ago, minus the physical pain of being mauled.

Overall, it was the best weekend I've had probably since my first event. It was the perfect Larpiversary!!
