January 18 highlights

-Ven and Ilana hop through time and almost get crushed by it but find out some important information! (However, Ilana politely skips the *f* out of visiting Evernight)

-Scramble together a Healer ritual to unlock an obelisk and then cry because reasons.

-Ilana tells Gregory 'get out' and tries to help keep a Psion ritual from going horribly wrong. (Also awkwardly slip through a barrier in a way I never thought I'd use against a PC. That skills supposed to be utility, not attack! )

-Ilana totally helps out a devil without any questions because she's more worried about Lois than anything else. Doesn't end up regretting the decision.

-The general confirmation that if George didn't have to deal with demon BS, he would have just been a chill acrobat performer. (Mostly because of a joke about chocolate covered cashews and carnies sticking around once you've fed them.)

-"We're having a counseling session, have a good day." I'm just glad no one complained about leaving.

-Running into the Sevenlore/Eldritch Blade business. Ilana may have a task she can complete to assist!

-The robe Nick was in seriously made him look JP tall at a distance and I was trying to figure out who the heck he was until he started talking. It was a neat effect.

-George tries to eat a demon in the process of dragging a soul. In lieu of not succeeding that, he decides to save the soul instead.

Almost got my teeth knocked out by Tinney as I bit him on the neck as a Nos. He turned with a clenched fist like "BOY, I SAY BOY!" Good times. He then went on to save me from reenacting Michael Jackson's pepsi commercial. Thank you, John. Fight me, old man.

I was in full fight mode bro... and that (im?)perfectly timed attack almost went south. Good thing my brain is quicker than my reaction time... though reaction time can be as fast at times... as shown by my preventing you from becoming the Johnny Blaze of Travance.

Fight you anytime, Young Man. Any time.:cool: :cool:

Wow, this event had a lot of stuff packed into it! A big thanks to James for letting me play your charismatic and, I quote, "physically unimposing" claimant to the Kormyerian Throne, Hystern Meldicia.

Now then, for a round up:

• Having Eden show up just a few minutes after Arradir diverted Lois into the Inn from the onslaught of Wendigo and Homunculi that was occurring across camp was tons of fun. Sorry for "interrupting" that amazing monologue, Lauren, but hearing "destroy all life on this plane" is pretty much where Arradir starts pulling the big-damn-hero decisions.
• Dealing with the emotional turmoil of several Travanicans after a visit from Karl. If only Kroh was out to add to the fun.
• Getting to co-Marshal with Brian T for an amazing shift filled with great players. From "baby" rock carrying crazy people to severed totem spirits (Other Joe G played the roll of his Blight Druid amazingly), we had a whole lot of fun.
• Coming off my shift to immediately start laying the ground work for the 4pm Main Mod was tons of fun. Ben F., you were amazing to play off of in our 1-on-1 scene and it was great to see that side of Kardin actually take shape.
• Following that scene, I got to aid in setting up a Main-Mod with the great marshals that were on the 2-6pm shift. Because of you all, we put on one hell of a show. Special thanks to Drew B. for helping marshal Hystern's escape ritual so that it was fun for everyone.
• Having a rabbit be Hystern's downfall. "Ignore the rabbit and fall into formation!" ~ General Morg (Geoff S)
• Expel from Lair-ing Grim after the clay dome fell. The look on his face was priceless.
• Props to Chris Z, Dave M, Jeff B, Ben F, and everyone else for some great roleplay upon the capture of Hystern. You all took his ending in an amazing direction!
• Getting killing-blowed by one of the towns-members on main-mod! That was unexpected and apparently the talk of the town Sunday morning.
• Getting asked to do a final scene as Hystern following the capture of his sister. Tori, you were great and made selling that final scene to the PCs super easy. Playing solitaire with my hands chained together in the jail cell (back-room of the Black Bird) made for a great opener that everyone can thank Ben F for thinking up on the fly.
• Enjoyed finally having a Sunday morning to sit down and have a totem meditation with Keavy and Dirge. Dani and Tom, you were both amazing to RP with and made the wait for such a scene to take place WELL worth it. Even if some rather annoying goblins popped up (looking at you, Nick C).

Sooooooo many good times.
-My wicked new armor, works like a charm AND I LOOK LESS EDGY

-Nothing screams fun like getting your face kicked in by Gilgamesh. Telling me to walk into swords and stuff.

-AND ABEL ;^; Giving him a hug had sent me into tears. I loved hearing the inn scream out "RENO NO!!" as I dropped my weapons and went in. I'm shocked I only got hit with sleep blade poison.

-The joy of facing Gil a second time, Only resulted in a scar to the face and eye, just a flesh wound hahaha. I'm shocked with how well I did against him

-GIL BE MY FRIEND AHHH *running towards kill army*

-Trying to protect the count while Wendigos are running though and just attacking anything that moves

-Unicorn Javelin likes me?!?! *Is honored*

-"I wanna do that thing where you take a pencil and paper and scribble on the paper to leave an indent of the runes." Steve's expression after I said that gave me life

-Peace Mission Main Mod was sooooooo cool. It was great to be able to make a difference. And also be super nervous even as Reno "Does it look gross?" *Points to face*

-Grim being a dad and saying dad things while IM TRYING TO TALK TO SINDARION

-Wonderful Roleplay with Grim, Sindarion, Aleister, Thalia and sooooooo many other PCs.

It was a fantastic anniversary event for me and I wanna thank everyone for making that possible. I felt so proud of myself at the end of the weekend..

Temporarily forgot, both a highlight and a lowlight - MB made sausage, gravy, and biscuits.
The highlight was it was delicious as usual.
The lowlight was IU was in such pain from my hernia I could not appreciate it.

A short walk with Chris Kane, but it was certainly an enjoyable moment.
