Being hit a billion times by an assasin at "Rain mod"
 

This was a fun event!

Friday: Deciding that instead of being Dorian just because it's easy, I go out as Odo.
Fighting, and sweating! Fun!
The RP while fighting and trying to corner wolves while snarling.
Having 'Lore: Lycanthropy' called on me while fighting. Maybe I was getting into Odo too much.
Enax Mass with Burgers.
A good night sleep from exhausting myself.

Saturday:
Reapplying Odo face and going out to market fair.
Kelly Sheppard's Pie was good!
Master Warrior Training
Sorel, drunk on Dwarven Ale "Every Weapon is a Spear!"
Odo "Sure. But I don't use edge weapons"
Sorel proceeds to turn spear over "See. Spear!"
Fighting elementals and imps, twice.
Shower!

Saturday Night:
I was feeling really crummy and I went out for gatorade. Bad move. Fell asleep in my car.

Sunday:
Slept in, and caught enough time to fulfill my requirement for being an RM. Always important to do what you need to do.


If it wasn't for my work calling me three times, leaving the same message about last-minute schedule changes, I wouldn't be so grumpy. Sorry again for being a sourpuss because of it to those that got rubbed the wrong way.

Had Fun, Will Odo again!

The Wolf Packs on Friday Night proved something that I keep pointing out to newer players - good RP and tactics can bring down even the most seasoned PC.  The circling wolves were true to form, and took out Gideon in short order, even if they could not get through his armor.  The RP behind that, including trying to protect Winks, was some of the best fun I'd had in a while - even at level 66, I still felt terrified by a frikkin' pack of wolves!

Mages' Guild Meeting, and the resulting RP, was fun as always.

Marshaling Sorcery - two in the Guild Hall, both failures.  One after dinner, with some excellent RP by the participants, and a few quips of my own.  Finally learning Ethan's lesson, and beginning a new chapter in Gideon's story.

Carlos is back... and DAMN, it was fun to know he'll be back on a regular basis.  Gideon is still my main, but Carlos is a welcome break from the seriousness that comes with being Gideon.  (Thank you again, Sam, for your wisdom.... )

Friday night: go to the forge to get some smith work done...broken leg and arm, go back after i get fixed...broken arm, go back a third time and another broken leg... needless to say wolf packs and trying to smith don't mix haha

Saturday: npc shift of a hoard of goblins was awesome! loved goblin singing while Tobar was trying to sing and of course saying i was the goblin leader when i was most definitely not haha. After that good lesson from Hangus and so so many silver weapons made. Main mod was a bit rough but i made it through atleast lots of roleplay and becoming a vassel of pendarven

Sunday: lots of good roleplay and i loved the celt tactic session after the imp!

lowlights: npcing for nothing but a troll for 3 hours was REALLY REALLY boring but the goblins kinda made up for it

So great to be back and a great event.

Highlights:
Friday - helping out with dispatching a pack of wolves and not getting touched.

Saying hello to more old friends that i have not seen in some time

Mother Remi trying to talk me into becoming a bard, still may happen, but all and all a fun night with the antics that ensued

Having a good bunkmate in Amizar

GETTING SOME SLEEP

Saturday: Waking up on my own valition and not having things come and get me.

NPC: BEST GOBLIN RAID EVER! Using actual goblin raiding tactics of running when there are a lot of people and attacking when there are only 3 or 4 makes lots of sense. We got lots of shiny

Going out as the angry kolbold and getting to spit in Barak's face

Awesome conversation while preparing dinner

Meeting Zather before feast, and the conversation with Remi, Winks and the others was classicly amusing.

Main Mod: Surviving and being able to be mildly useful in both attacking while I had valence armor and having enough(used 3) of healing salves to get people on their feet, not a healer but keeping townsfolk from dying is nice, too strong for a true low level main mod though.

Awesome Brownies in the monestary

Ardin starting to teach me mage and being interrupted, telling me to meditate on sweeping the mages guild floor of all its failed sorcery components

Sunday: Finally getting ardin to finish teach me Mage, joining the ranks of Silverbow mages

Having my friends who NPC'd for the first time really enjoy their weekend was a great feeling

Look forward to next event, glad to be back

First off, huge thanks to Steve B for driving myself & Jessica S back home to Brooklyn, before he started his 4+ hour drive home to Massachusetts.  In the rain.  At night.  Going over hills both ways.  

Friday night
1.  Trying to find Jessica S at Penn Station so we can take the train down together to Dover.  That was an adventure in itself.  
2.  Getting to camp & finally seeing the Alisandria statehouse.  Definite progress there.  It looked awesome.
3.  The cool weather coming in, & allowing me to wear my normal garb & not get overheated.  Thank heavens.
4.  Running all over the camp in my boots with Seamus (Cooper), hunting for werewolves.
5.  Hearing the Ranger/Druid rant about wolves vs humanity & trying to give alternative solutions to the problems... but going unheard.  Oh well.
6.  Fighting, fighting, fighting... after a while, I had no idea what I was even killing anymore.
7.  Getting a lovely free trip over a black bucket by the steps of the Inn & crushing my junk... & EVERYBODY seeing/hearing it.  Pure FailBlog material.  :'(

Saturday daytime
1.  Judge being awesome & taking me to bagel place.  MMMmmmm...
2.  Switching to my tank top under my jerkin so I don't die from heat. Damn it!  
3.  Dealing with Goblin hordes... as Geoff said, get enough NPC's on you, & even high level's get overwhelmed & dropped.  Damn tricky buggers.
4.  Lunch time in Alisandria.  Great salads by MB & company.  We live up to being the "bread basket" of Travance.
5.  Again marching around Travance & trying to do my duty as a Squire.

Saturday night
1.  Dinnertime: my usual buffalo chicken sandwich.  Ahh....
2.  Switching to NPC & finding out I was needed for a "unique" role... Ok.
2a.  CAVEAT: For those players who wondered why Main Mod was like the way it was... pay attention to the last line of the post.
3.  Late night discussion & RP with Alisandria & learning I need to do more as a Squire in public if I ever want to rise in rank & be useful.

Sunday
1.  Morning shower... found 2 ticks.  I hate these buggers!
2.  Seeing all the hard work it took to breakdown the statehouse & the volumes of dedication that speaks of the people who take time & energy to set it up right.
3.  Speaking/talking with many different folks, both new & old and low & high levels for their reactions & feelings about the past event.  Lotsa good advice, opinions, & lessons learned.
4.  Rain???  Again??? F*@&!!!!
5.  Late lunch at the Homestead. Yum...

I will NOT post highlights/lowlights... as everything that happened was an event to remember & a memory to be cherished.  Good or bad... at least I came & did them and will have the stories to share with all my friends who I wanted to see.  Thank you all.

I had a Great Event, even if I was only there for Half of it.

Appointed Seneschal of Travance!
Learning more Sorcery from the Guild Master
Brothers Moving around in spots in the Hierarchy.
Jakes Last event for a while, that was tough.

Being Back after a few months away
Great time at the Blood Stump

Low Lights:
Needing a Reanimation
Poop Smithing the Bathroom

Seriously if I ever find out who ruined that bathroom in the Guards-barracks there will be brutality.

First of all...AWESOME FIRST PCing EVENT!!!

Friday:
New Player mod, many wolves (and went down a couple times but still awesome)

Walking around hunting for wolves with some Pendarvin PC's

Learning how to fight well as a ranger(still working on this one but got basis down)

Saturday:
Fighting off Elementals

NPCing as a Fire Elemental and re-spawning until the imp died.  

NPCing ogres that now work on Ib's Banana farm

Learning how to set traps before the Baronial Feast (those who try to get into my tent next moon beware)

Saturday Night:
MAIN MOD!!!! even though I went down a lot and lost a couple arrows it was still fun.

The Undead, spiders, and mice in the Inn after Main Mod, All while I was learning Adv. Literacy.

Sunday:
Waking up to a spider outside our tent (has locks on it) I was too tired and Wayland didn't want to deal with it so "Befriend Animal" and it went away.

Learning all the skills that I wanted (Thankfully I believe I have enough build for them)

I honestly have no idea where to start...there was so much it just kept getting better and better. I'll try and start from the beginning.

Friday night:
NPCed an alpha wolf, was friggin great. had an excellent pack and saw some amazing role play by some of the new people. (extra cred to my bate wolf for making it around Gideon's shield. sorry Geoff i haven't seen that happen very often.). Damn near crapping my pants with the rest of the wolf pack when we were walking along a path and ran into another npc playing a werewolf. we did not think he was a person. after all that was said and done i headed down to kalidonia  to possibly try and sleep. galmacian assassin(thanks Antonio) decided otherwise. totally Worth the cripple to have an Andorran say she'd turn her back on me as i ripped him limb from limb starting with his fingers and toes.

Saturday was filled with so many goblins.  spent some time around kalidonia. RPing was so awesome. ran into some demons while working on a make shift wall. managed to save someone right out from underneath them. then when i came back around i ran into two of them hiding behind a wall on the side the PCs used to be. it sucks when things are calling minimum when u swing 7ice at them.

Saturday night, main mod....so many damn cobalts. i do feel like this was alto more then it should have been for a lowbie mod.
Fighting hoards of hoards of cobalts was still fun, great moment in my mind
ME: Brother light hammer, can u help me?
Light Hammer: What do u need?
ME: they been beating the dirt out of me!
heal 9
heal 9
heal 9
heal 9
Aid
light Hammer: Better?
Me: much better! *runs toward the front line drops the first two cobalts withing range of my sword

flanked the next group in kalidonia where wayland went down...hard and didn't get back up.
which lead up to my very best role play setting ever, thank you so much angel, being brought through the focus was amazing. and kind of freaky. i completely zoned out of the existence of real life. i wasn't Anthony playing wayland i WAS wayland. spent the next hour or so wandering around the inn in a cloud.

Eventually i headed back to the tent for some sleep.  it was probably sunday at this point, having taken path past the monastery to kalidonia damn near pissing my pants as i head "I invade the sanctity of the spirits and defy the laws of death" and praying i make it to my tent and lock the door before any thing comes near me. won that round. 4 undead banging on my tent door so glad i made those locks.

Actually sunday was a bit of a down having woke up to the need to be home early. overall excellent weekend. I'm looking forward to September and hopefully seeing some people i didn't get a chance to talk that much too.

This was my very first event at KR and I NPCed the whole weekend.

Friday:
Being put as beta wolf on my very first LARP experience
Breaking Gideon's arm when my pack became a super pack and finding out later on he was one of the big guys at KR.
Getting the crap scared out of me by a NPC werewolf hiding in the woods when he didn't respond to "are you a bear?" at first.
Getting taken as some nobleman's pet wolf, being told to sit and heel, dragged off to the lord's cabin in the woods to be "tied to the table and given steak" after he begged permission to keep me from his higher up. That RP was hilarious.
The wolf raid on the Inn. The PCs look when we charged as a whole pack was priceless.
Belegchand using "animal empathy" on me and having to keep telling the other players "no, don't hit her. She's nice. She's with me."
Getting animal empathy put on me AGAIN for the third time that night by a druid at the Inn and treated like a little buddy wolf again.

Saturday:
Going out as a goblin in a whole clan, attacking Tobar and company, hiding in a gypsy caravan, stealing :the shinies", and all that. What a great goblin leader we had!
That poor barbarian who charged us in the woods as we were goblins bleeding out in the woods after Tobar walked away saying "Oh he'll get up in a minute or two."
Being an ogre pack. Meeting the Baron "little squishy king" to swear loyalty to rather than "little green king", being taken under wing by Ib, or IBBBBB as we called him.
Seeing my best friend's boyfriend at the Bloody Stump--I had no idea he even did this sort of thing!
Being passionately convinced by Belegchand to be a scholar as my first class after he heard what family I was going to come from IG. He was very convincing--perhaps he should consider becoming a merchant IG.
Hanging out with Norm. Nuff said.

Sunday:
Going to the Inn with two gentleman as poker gamblers. Hardly anyone was there to play and we didn't have chips but a very nice gypsy named Viggo (sp?) was a good sport and played.
Almost playing with this high end merchant, blindsided by his amazing salesmanship, and him joking that he wouldn't play with us definitely since we were from Coast Haven.
Waking up and finding a fist sized bruise from the cobalt raid the night before

Overall this was an amazing experience for me. I loved every minute of it. I'm grateful with how friendly and helpful everyone was--more than willing to give some advice and a helping hand. My boyfriend and I are going to come up as often as possible now with our friend to make this a regular thing. Thank you all for this memorable weekend.

Saturday:
Going out as a goblin in a whole clan, attacking Tobar and company, hiding in a gypsy caravan, stealing :the shinies", and all that. What a great goblin leader we had!
That poor [strike]barbarian[/strike] who charged us in the woods as we were goblins bleeding out in the woods after Tobar walked away saying "Oh he'll get up in a minute or two."

I am a Celt

Ilana's weekend= birthday cake
In order of occurrence:
1. Saw Thomas and Belenear (sad to know Gavin won't be coming back anytime soon but was nice to see him again. Good luck in school you two!)
2. Saw Ethan Archangel and was able to hang out with him for a change
3. Ilana learned an old friend is safe and sound.
4. Thomas gave Ilana his sash to take care of for when he gets back. I wore it the rest of the event quite happily.
5. Apollo hunting season
6. Keillor being about
7. Carlos
8. Wee! So many new Pendarvin vassals! I have people to take care of now. It's awesome.
9. Learned some Druidics
10. Wait, the ashes did what!?
-
Other amusing things:
-My spells rolled offensive with only an earth armor and a fire shield to protect me. Ilana was pretty scared of dying this event.

-Using up my intercepts almost every period was also a huge highlight for Ilana.

-The Galamachian assassin disguised as a bottle waylaying Ilana
-Psion reanimations are troubling to say the least. So glad it went so well though.

-Sorel the goldfish
-So many Physician/Scholar students

-I wish I remember exactly what we said around the 'church' table on Sunday but I think LaBelle mentioned Ilana lacked obedience and that was why she wasn't a Friar and Ilana made a noise that agreed with him and everyone laughed. At least she's honest.

-Fire Imps? I spent more than half my MP fire shields for everyone, I rather enjoyed it.

Wow!  What a great event!  Here are a few Highlights:

Being ordained as a Priestess!  Thanks Kwildar!!

Being a Physician and a healer at the same time!

Able to use cure sensory ailment for the first time!

Being part of the main mod!

Here are the Lowlights:

Rain!

Missing part of the main mod because of my medical problem!! 


 

oh god, I have never been this sore after a KR event, but it was worth every bit of pain I am feeling now!

NPC shift: playing the wolf that chased one of the gypsies into the inn, then having people spending more time finding someone to skin me than it actually took to take me down. followed by my biggest highlight: -playing a werewolf that had changed for the first time, scaring the crap out of half the town in the process.
-I had more than a few firsts this event, first time playing a troll, first time playing a werewolf, first time playing an assassin who was disguised as a goblin at the time. (hehe sorry belechand)

I just gotta say that it is rather exciting to see something you donated that event being put to use.

I would point out more things but really this entire event was one big highlight. this was a great 1-year anniversary of me coming to KR

my only lowlight was the fact that I was suffering from allergies all Sunday.


on a side note: is it just me or was it raining assassins during main mod?

Wow, so much to do this event, so much fun.

Friday Night

• After showing up a little late, being trapped in the Mage's Guild by wolves.  As they realized I was still putting on my ears, they left.
• Almost immediately after arriving in the Inn being sent to do research on a piece of paper.  Spent the first hour of my 4.5 total this weekend.
• Getting to use Animal Empathy on a wolf, and being able to, as JJ said, tell people not to attack it, because it was with me, and not a danger anymore.
• Going to the Mage's Guild to get changed for NPC shift, and getting attacked by a Troll.  Clark, you were, in a word, PHENOMENAL in saving the day and obliterating it on the spot.

NPC Shift

• Confusing some Kaladonians as I stopped talking squeaky as a Goblin-looking spy.
• Last minute undead and necromancer, getting to terrorize a few people.

Saturday

• Getting to finish my codices.
• Interacting with the Guardian.  Derrick, I know I told you before, but everything that happened was absolutely fantastic.  Thank you for that.
• Doing research and expert ID for another hour and a half.
• Getting to see a pair of rituals, and, most importantly, apprentice my first one.  Definitely makes upcoming decisions harder as to what I want to learn next.
• Discussing my research and all the events of the morning with the Mage's Guild.  I sense a lot of great things to come.
• Feast was wonderful, thanks to everyone involved.

Saturday Night

• Discussing the spreading of knowledge.
• Last of research getting done.
• Meeting Carlos was interesting.

Sunday

• More research coming to fruition.
• Starting my first manuscripts.
• Very nice discussions.

While I found much of this event intensely frustrating (don't worry, there'll be a game report filed - though honestly, it had nothing to do with the storytelling or such), there were a few moments that, quite frankly, were so great that the weekend was still worthwhile.

Friday Night:
-- Burgers at the Stump. God, those things are good. Thanks to Dan, Larry and Gus, and to the boys at the stoves, for making all this possible.  Serving at the Stump can also be really a good time - I've forgotten my fellow server's name, but our RP dynamic can best be described as "cute." Even if people never tip and seem to think it's [strike]McDonald's[/strike]McDougal's and get all annoyed when they don't see food in 20 seconds. Be patient, loves! It's always worth the wait, ain't it. 

-- "Just a good swift crack with the pommel of your dagger, right ... here." Yep. Conversations no one should hear that are had in the middle of a room full of people are great. 


Saturday:
-- A conversation about how to have a conversation had with Tobar.

-- Taking a Kat nap.

-- Sitting in on Carlos' readings for the Baron and Squire Lathial. That 20 mins of RP was just fantastic and Geoff, you are seriously amazing with those cards. Talking with Lathial afterwards was a really nice indication of how interesting things are going to get in the future. All of it was so good that heavily I considered taking the rules violation rather than cutting it short to go for my NPC shift. Sadly, I'm too responsible.

Sunday Morning:
-- 1:00 AM: Spending my NPC shift disinfecting the masks with Laura. Yes, that is a highlight. Seriously. You just don't want to know how much of one.

-- 4:30 AM: The look on Aleister's face, poor man, being ousted from bed to go do something he'd delegated to someone else a long while before. So much grrrrrr. Good help is so hard to find, isn't it?

-- 11:30 AM: The look on Sir Lyle's face, being ousted from bed to answer questions that he really could have aswered the night before .... and the look on his face to discover the method and perpetrator of said outsing. Livia is just going to forget she saw any of it.

--  Determining that while I have a lot - a LOT - to learn, I may not be doing too badly for myself. I do, however, need an alt.

More or less in order of coccurance:

The trial of Msgr Moonshadow.  Considering she ws guilty by her own writings, wildar offered a good defense.

The subsequent promotion to Inquisitor and being handed a mess to resolve.

Crawling into bed at 0330, hoping to get 5 hours sleep before cooking breakfast forr 2-3 hours.  Awakened around 0400 by Quan Liu and Mr. Chance bringing in a peasant named Rita (Tori) who was clearinbg insane, at least.  Thinking <<Keep her in jail until a decent hour, say after 0900>> but instead, conducting a long inerview and cure of one of her insanities until around 0500.  this not being a miserable, gruff bastard is for the birds.

Food at Market Faire.

Nappy - and only being awakened three times - Yes Excellency, I appreciate being informed of that. 

Feast was nice and I discovered the jello and whipped cream.

Mass - Goose and Jusdge were beyond excellent.  Naturally, it was interrupted as I was starting.

Being ordered to go to the Stump, where a battled was starting and runnin g smack inbto the lowbie mod.  Tried to tell them to let us go by "You are not to fight us tonight, for we are not for you" but for some reason they ignored me.  Mike Smith, watching his mod morph, whispered to me "Do what you do" and the slaughter began - at least until somethings that each had 3 slays and an assassinate entered, between Brogan and me, we had to contend with 20 of the former and a handful of the latter. 

Shower after cold rain - second best moment of the weekend.

Sunday conversation with mostly clergy at breakfast and teaching more Ceremonies.

Best moment - after the clean-up hold, MB giving me a container of her chicken salad.  Yeah, best moment - thank you MB.

Let's see.
Friday- Wolves. I always like fighting wolves. Having "drinks" with Elizar because he now expects that from me. Seeing Corvin again was really awesome! Then having to fight wolves and undead at the Bloody Stump.

Saturday
NPC Shift- Going out as a Troll Bodyguard to some Kobolds who were trying to get people to join them. We even mentioned Zemes and the tribal King to everyone and we weren't killed(i was surprised!). Then as a Troll again to protect a Kobold health inspector who was again loyal to the King Neves(I think that's his name). We got killed. Then the best goblin raid ever ensued by first attacking 4-6 people while we had like 11 or 13 NPCs as goblins and if there were too many we'd retreat.

Saturday Afternoon/Evening
Feast- WOW!! Tacos!?!? What a change. It was a great feast. It was also fun seeing Sleafus entertain again.

Main Mod- What a fun Main Mod that was! Endless fighting everywhere! No time for rest. Fighting along with Justice was fun while we were downing creatures left and right. Getting to use Spell Grounding on a Lightning Storm. Using all of my defensive skills and a lot of my healing. I was exhausted after the whole battle. After that, I went with Belegchand and Kwildar to the Mages' Guild so Belegchand could drop off some stuff and when we got there we looked at the door. We saw a skull which was the holy symbol of Galamachis and it was also on the table inside. I was a little freaked out.

Sunday- Waking up around 9:30. Heading to the inn and got a Master Warrior lesson. The Baron called over Ardin and right when Ardin got in close proximity to the Baron, the Baron hit him and called "Slay". It was a little nerve-racking.

All-in-all it was a great event.

Lowlights- The rain Saturday evening into Sunday was horrible!

One hilarious highlight - when we went to the spirit realm to repair the ley lines, part of it required to "heal" the dark energy surrounding the lines.  This required the healers to hit the light from at least 5 feet away.  Let me just say that MB does not have to worry about Tori bringing home goldfish from local fairs.  We could not laugh, but still...

Expecting Soul Harvesters, we were relieved to find only ogres and trolls with devilish enhancements.

OF course, I was expecting the mod to be at the Monastery, and wore thin soled tan moccasins.  Fortunately, they were inexpensive and they are now trash as we walked down muddy paths and fought in an ankle high field that was soaked.

Um, I don't even know where to begin...

Friday:
-Alright, this is would be a lowlight but because of the RP was awesome. Marika is getting soooo tired of people telling, not asking, her not to go somewhere just because it might be dangerous.
-Playing a carnival game in the Spirit World to try to fix the lay lines.  Healers, we REALLY need to work on our aim  

NPC:
-The family VonTrapp dwindling down to four, and seeing my young daughter Anna cry over her beloved Michael...wow you're awesome girl
-My bard Martha! She gets her own category:
-Pracing around the inn as the most hyperactive bard pleading for stories. Only the people who actually put up with me and told me stories or sang to me got shiny trinkets
-Getting hijacked to Kaledonia only to find nothing was left there, so I began enchanting random people because I could...then getting a run-tackle-hug from Aquene later for it
-The look on people's face that such a little brat was a Master Bard and Enchanter
-Being accused of being a demon then wild mage...that was interesting
-But sorry to the bards I couldn't teach...

Saturday:
-The has got to have been one of the best Market Faires ever.
-Officially began marketing my massages. Goldmine  
-Trading one for a gorgeous bottle pouch
-Mass was...interesting. Goose, I cried.
-Actually being effective during Main Mod. I'm actually getting decent at Staff-fighting
-Lowlight was being stabbed in the eye OOG. Made it work for me by tying a sash over my bleary eye like a cripple. The RP ensuing was pretty funny
-Reviving the Baron. Thank god I hadn't used my Promo yet
-Killing a Greater Undead Troll. Sorry for screaming at you poor souls, but I needed a clear shot to heal it to death
-Watching Aleistar and Orophin randomly put illusions of smiling suns spitting our pink hearts on Kwildar's shoulder...very confusing

Sunday:
-Light Clergy breakfast...and clergy-to-be
-Having Lucas tell me to "improve my lifestyle" but dropping only half of necessary...adorable
-The most annoying/interesting chess match ever. After you block out Orophin's "Move your pawns!" and Jack Cypher's "No use the knights!" you get a migraine   Rematch Mark?

Just the fact that this event fell on mu birthday put me in a pretty darned good mood.

Highlights

-Kamen coming back!  Getting rediculously drunk with him Friday night while he drunkenly confessed his love and I tried to explain to him why we could never work out...Love you Derek

-Getting Kwildar Drunk and convincing him that punching undead in the face would make him feel better, whenever anyone questioned us telling them I'm helping him to embrace his Celt-half.  

-RIP little hydra-baby, Ilona, Aquene and I would have made great moms to you.

-Dragoon Mod, nothing like messing with the time-space continum to really bring a group together.
-Feeling useful during main mod, making a point at yelling back at everything that tried to intimidate me by growling, rowring and yelling insults at them.  my favorite:  
Me: (to an npc) What are you a Duck?  You sound like a duck!
NPC: are you using insult?
Me:...not officialy!
-Not wanting to lose the Spirit of the Dragon High I was on after the main battle and running off to save dragamire...that ended with me getting dragged off to the monistary in Crit...I was so close to getting out of that battle with my dignity in tact
-watch possibly the most epic case of riding a bad decision into the sunset begin to take shape
-Celt training...Really hope we can do that in battle sometime

-While I love fighting in the rain, I hate being wet and cold afterwards.

Thanks for a great time.  Also just got a grown up mon-friday job so I'll actualy be able to come consistently again...yay!

Event highlights... hmmm...

Showing up to KR on a whim, which always happens to be a ridiculously good time.
Um, of course, npcing since that is all I was there for.
Picking pockets 
My millions of suicidal attempts, charging through the pc lines as a cobalt on main mod.
Being the insane Treasure Hunter as a mod hook.
...and all that jazz.

Hmmm... Been a while since I've done one of these lists.

Friday:

Kwildar's apprehension at having two things going on that he absolutely had to be at, and the relief that came when he realized that all would work out.

The trial in abstencia of Jaren Moonshadow.  Kwildar realized his impossible task, and did his best.  _I_ think he rose to the occasion.

The Spirit realm -- Seeing the beginning of the end of a plotline I've been involved in for two years.

Hydra eggs.

Saturday:

Finally sitting down and having a good long talk with Joe and Mary-Beth's gypsies, and all that came out of it.

Sam Maksoud skipping around the inn, dressed in black, with a box, being generally hyperactive, giving Kwildar flashbacks to things he never actually saw, namely the woman that was handing out cookies exactly three years before, and the extreme paranoia that quickly set in.

Feeling a look of horror wash over Kwildar's face at Orophin and Aleister having an art contest on his chest.

Kwildar and Ashling: Adorable.

Ashling McKraeger to Carlos Magellen: "So, I've been told that you're the best Andorran ever."
Carlos: "Don't say that so loudly, Kwildar is right behind you."
Ashling: "He's the one that told me."

The beginnings of long-ish term plans, and Kwildar's pull on the world becoming manifest again.

Mass, fighting, and finally getting a chance to open up to Archbishop LaBelle.

Billiam staring down Kwildar, and Kwildar putting on his serene face.

Sunday:

Wake up mod and Billiam McKraeger. Hillarious.

Ordinations and Ambushes.

Learning something that I never thought Kwildar would assent to learning.... Then Cooper forgetting to write it on my card. >.<

- Moonshadow's trial. and the ensuing IG frustration from Remi. "So... how are we supposed to be a beacon of hope and light for this town when we're too busy fighting amongst ourselves? Seriously, I just wanna know."

- Mage's Guild meeting and Arden Silverbow's consideration.  

- Ensuing conversation with Archbishop LaBelle, especially his very swift change of heart from, "Well I'm not sure this is best for you," to "DO IT. FOR THE LOVE OF THE GODS DO IT."

- Apol-lol. I'm so excited to see how all that drama goes down.

- So. Much. Sleep.

- So. Many. Backrubs!  

- Being Liam's fake ex-girlfriend all event. lolol.

Aside from how great it was to see everybody, and that FANTASTIC MAIN MOD (eyes naysayers) I would say that my personal highlight was Sir Tik, the Nit, who said "Yeah, we should've asked for money.  I mean, we don't work for just anybody, otherwise we'd be publicteers."

And it was good to see Carlos again, I guess.

And having Archer at one point during main mod stop calling for "Travance" and start calling out "Sea Dogs."  I received so many compliments on my crew, and I am proud as a mama hen of them.

And Hallucinogens.  Drew.

Also, when are the pics gonna be up?  It's been EASILY two days, already.

Had an absolute blast this weekend!

Friday:
~Trading Kaimen (sp?) the magic spear I had laying around.
~Spirit realm plot rocked, and yes Sam M, we healers do need to work on our aim....
~Hearing yells about someone bleeding out in Kaledonia at late o'clock...4AM-ish maybe? The victim had been dead already but it got me up....
~In my sleepy stupor, deciding that playing a game of chance with Liam's NPC was a splendid idea and wasn't at all too good to be true.  Until it was.  Oops. 

Saturday:
~Walking out to the Mage's guild for the first time with Belegchand, and upon leaving, having about a dozen and a half goblins chase us to Alissandria.  To whoever threw up that divine sphere of protection, thanks!
~Shortly thereafter, schooling some wolves
~Buying the voodoo doll of happy thoughts from the foreign witch hunters
~Walking with Jonas Kane to the lake and taking the long road back to Alissandria.  Good times.
~Giving out old silver weapons and Ilana's healing salves like candy to the newbies.
~After main mod, medically assisting in the reanimation of a psion.  Since it was my first time doing that, I didn't know that wasn't normal.

Sunday:
~Right before final hold, being in the middle of whatever it was that happened between Ilana, Sorel, and Lucas.  I don't know what those things were or which belonged to whom or what they did, but it was hilarious watching the "monkey in the middle" game that ensued.

I'm forgetting more things, I know!  Even with the rain and the miniature vampires that plagued me, I wouldn't change a thing

Right, so it's a little late, but meh.

Friday:

Finally getting Clait his armor and negotiating lessons with Sorel, but in the process:
Getting attacked by pack after pack of diseased wolves... and helping fend them off with my BARE HANDS >.<

Chilling with fellow Celts at the forge and in the Inn, singing my first spell songs, and helping out some of the scholars.

NPC:

Merchanting out the potions and things that I'd bought on the previous NPC's gold piece... after he got robbed. Damn those Markovians. Anyway, making deals is fun, saving the best deal of the night for the friend I made in the process: best part.

Playing the 4-body nobody who got all the Wild Mages suspicious... and dragging them off to the waterfront. They have friends now!

Getting really drunk and being charmed by Martha into coming along to help with Kaledonia.

Saturday:

Actually managing to get up early enough for Market Faire. Peddling my candy for the first time, with really unusual flavors that people actually enjoyed. I gotta say, save eating the candy myself, that's the best part.

Complex but enriching Evaluate Item lesson. Really gave me a chance to show off what I knew about the skill.

Lessons with Marika. Practical skills and some general how-to tips. Now my technique will be at least 10% gentler!

Helping achieve quick and gentle justice... with Justice's help! Well, really it was Zero, but hey, it worked.

Buying a lemon and a lime... Good thing they don't spoil.

Lots of good RP time with the Celts and Laurel. Silver equipment is good to have around. Plus, Earth Armor *ahem* rocks.

Getting to do my Advanced Literacy lesson... twice!

Light Mass, illuminating the darkness, as we should.

Elemental kobolds? Is that what they were? Well, good thing I know how to put a fire out: hit it with ice, repeatedly. Also: I'm still glad I super-sped to Heal Life. Now to get the rest of them up there.

Bounty hunters... and more bloodless subdual. Spiders and undead and random things, oh my?

Sunday:

More punching things! This time with silver! And armor! And fire shields! And singing!

Getting to impress Sorel with my commitment to Dragoon-hood. Between Lore: Dragon and bards telling stories, I damn well better have heard about the difference between dragon colors.

I was kind of upset I didn't get to come to the Celt tactics session... but I'mna do my best to be there next month.

Lowlights:

Not getting to go to a bunch of important things because of the constraints of playing two characters... Baronial business, I suppose.
