October 2012 Highlights!

-Sword mod Saturday was an awesome time. Once again, I was tpe casted as a hulking monster! Thanks monster marshals!

-Also roaming around as a devil fighting the town near death about to drop as Judge came along and healed all devils and turned the townspeople against themselves.

My event was filled with some really great moments.

- Kickstarting the Belmont/Reign storyline – happy to see people get so involved, and I hope you all enjoy where it goes.
- The Eodra portal and all of the RP that has resulted from that possibility.
- "Are you safe?"
- Discussions with Billliam about best men fighting to the death over which name the bride and groom keep, and the awkward realization at the wedding that Erdrick and Elawyn never bothered to get each other rings…
- Having my Squire at my side almost all of main mod, watching my back and holding his own against the big bads. So proud.
- True Warlock hunts, the regression to first level mod, and saving the day with germinate and sorcery. Such a fun and different concept – very cool Matt D.!
- Aliester's history, Belegchand's research, and the best pile of IG papers I've ever gotten to read.
- Resulting late night abject misery with Aliester over how big everything is and how absolutely impotent we are to fight against it, even if we are basically superheroes ourselves.
- Sunday teaching, vassaling ceremonies, and good conversations.

Thanks everyone for such a great time – looking forward to next event.

I think my favorite part of the weekend was early Saturday morning when Alex was out as his merchant/vampire. He celerity murdered Antrim then dominated Jade and Bagwell, who started to attack Dougal. Everyone kinda forgot I was there, so I fight or flight picked up Antrim and ran like the cops were after me. I used a windwalker to get moving, Jade started to windwalker after me, but Alex forgot he dominated her, so he used Slam on her instead of me. Craig was playing Alex's bodyguard and chased after me, but spent most of the time hitting Antrim with ALL the damage. Awesome.

lol If it makes you feel any better she chose to add Na but keep her father's name

In no particular order

Chris Z.'s mod I love the notes!

Sword Mod. I'm kind of glad that I didn't get the sword as I'm already either 11 or 12 and will be getting at least another 10 build before the end of the year.

The Longest Lore:Divinity Lesson EVER, which goes into

Interviewing St. Aria and St. Astrid for said lesson.

The wedding. It made me aww. And considering I OOG hate weddings that is saying something.

NPCing rogue mod. This was the first time since I have started boffer LARPing that I have been involved with a rogue mod. Very fun stuff.

And last, but certainly not least. All the interviews. I don't know how many people I interviewed for the town guard stuff but I am pretty sure the answer is "lots".

First off, saving new kitty Charles Jr. with Ferris. I get like a fourth of custody of him haha
It was kinda fun not having to NPC first shift this time.

Friday:
Come into game with the rift portal in the Inn. Inspecting it and becoming one of the first to get their eyes gauged out. Being the unofficial go-to Chaos Warrior for the time being and making sure no one looked into it even though THEY DID ANYWAY! As if seeing my eyes ripped out wasn't enough, by preventing Belegchand from falling, we get sucked in and thrown out into crit. Stood guard even harder to make sure no one looked.

After the Gabriel's door was placed, in comes the chaos orb! Chasing it around with Angelica until it made the Spirit world rift.

Saturday:
Jacopo.
Followed another chaos orb that was drifting in Kaladonia, and making sure it stayed in an area away from a high population of people when it formed the rift to the Pit of Malyc. Looking in with Anhil, looking at him afterward and....Wanting to kill him. Though bad IG, this was fun OOG to RP haha
Talking to Sofia about possible ways to close the rifts. Gathered rangers and druids to germinate a closing and making it disappear!
Then supervising the closing of the Inn rift.
Seeing the Rift of Eodra and having Keavy feel the most energetic and calm minded ever!
Sword plot mod. Turned to stone twice and no one helped me. Thanks.
Helping Oakroot with his final master warrior lesson.
And nearing the end of the period, took a puppy nap on the stone bench outside the inn. It was Keavy's most peaceful, dream-filled sleep she's had in a year...until the period changed.
Feast. Never had lamb before. Pretty good.

Main Mod...Or unfortunate lack there of..

Sleeping in the inn until I hear "By the immense powers of fluffiness I cast- CUDDLE." followed by a certain kitty being petted on my face mewing haha

12-4 LM shift...Kinda fun seeing what was being sent out... though very cold and tiring..
Elias, listening to your story when you came back from the rogue shadow scare-the-crap-out-of-Ostcliff mod was priceless!!

Sunday:
Laid back day learning Revive and Gift of the Predator. Watching Caelvan's first master warrior lesson with Danny. Reeeeeally wanting to spar to practice master florentine...

Can't wait for next month!

Friday:
New Player Mod. Always fun, and come on New Players learn more about the world before coming across something you've never heard of
Coming back from NPM to find Keavy all angry, Caelvan decided it would be best to stay away
Following the necromancer mod, and not be seen by anyone other than anhil and chris(OOG) IG I was in a tree. Chris, you were awesome
Bagwell coming into Kaladonia saying "I'm sorry I have to kill you" I love my traps

Saturday:
Wake up to find pancakes reserved for me, thank you diane
Druid's and Ranger's closing a portal in kaladonia
had to deal with a lot of things I can't even remember
Feast!! serving feast was actually not that bad....might do it more often

Sunday:
Knolls....so little, cameron next time you need more NPC's
Tracking 2 knolls down and soloing both of them. I think Colin would be proud of his squire.
First Master Warrior lesson with Danny, got beat on to all hell, but was so much fun

Very good return to game for me after being gone for two months (I don't count the fact that I was there on Friday in August).

-Roleplaying depression is hard! Being around friends definitely helped Winks throughout the weekend.
-No matter how mopey Winks is, he'll always make time for his students. Even to the point of seeking them out because he promised.
-Learning my first new spell in months. Very nice lesson with Quan Liu for Cloak of Wind.
-Incredibly emotional discussion with Aleister Saturday night. Winks still isn't quite sure how to feel about it.
-Delicious feast! Great job, Sam!
-Liam's vampire calling Celerity right in front of me, thinking I was going to turn into paste, and him ignoring me for the higher level characters that were also nearby...talk about nerve wracking
-Watching Shamus/Cooper going at it with not one but two True Warlocks over the course of the night. Pretty epic.
-Reset Button mod, very cool concept Matt.
-Watching Gideon's MW lesson, and helping with Galen's. Good times had by all.
-Separate discussion with Aleister and others about something that will affect EVERYONE. Can't wait to see how that all pans out.

See everyone next month!

I had a great time this weekend both PCing and NPCing.

NPC:
- Seeing both Quinn and Kwildar freak out over a Saint of their god showing up on their doorstep was hilarious. It was great trying to watch Kwildar blow mental defenses to keep from walking into the Eodra for good.
- Bolton trying to dissect heaven and then having religious debates with the ghostly templars guarding the gates. "But how can I have faith without empirical evidence?" "It is impossible to have faith once you do."
- Having to use only one tag skill and using it to keep Belechand from casting "know age" on the Eodra, for your own good!
- All the priests I met did a brilliant job interacting with this character and I'm glad I got to play her

PCing
- Staring into the Howling Void, the last place Rosa took a death, for 30 minutes while trying to close a portal using ceremonies
- A long walk/ talk with Arlington was very nostalgic
- Had a great late night walk/ heart-wrenching talk turned yelling fight in the woods. Have to love when someone pushes you in your RP

~ No rain! Yay
~ Chaos portal in the inn, people kept looking into the abyss despite my pleas and attempts to stop them, then I had to take away their pain while I ran around looking for someone who could cure their blindness since I couldn't yet.
~ Weapons flying across the inn... amongst all this chaos and turmoil people were willingly fighting each other, had to break it up despite Angeliana's fear of weapons. Loosing her patience and finally yelling to break it up, then feeling terrible about said yelling. Giving stern looks to Jed and Gregor for the rest of the event.
~ Wine? what's that? oh the room is spinning...
~ Heart to heart conversation with Dame Myxolidia, Angeliana was still drunk or she would have been more timid, but Dame listened, and considered what I had to say! (shedding real tears during this... actually surprised myself)
~ Massages (I got healing hands!)
~ Getting asked to "help" with a lesson in willpower by pretending to be charming and seductive to Balthazar... Zafrin you're mean the man was sweating by the end of it. Gypsies...
~ Declining a multitude of offers Angeliana isn't interested in, since she doesn't think there is any time for "courting and such" when people are dying and wars are being fought and there are people to be helped. The gypsies haggling my "price" with my uncle. Then the gypsies arguing with others over who "Owns" Angeliana. Getting fed up enough by the end of the event to tell S.S.B. that I owned myself and no one else did.
~ Dr. Maxwell's coat. Totally pimpin style! Having him worry about his patients potentially getting blood on it... Sigh.
~ Getting attuned to the focus, then being called to help weaving positive energy inside the spirit realm to shut a portal... cool!
~ Disagreeing that insulting a necromancer to lure him in is a good idea, begging Balthazar not to go. Lozinni's explanation, turning around to find Balthazar bolting back into the inn screaming "IT WORKED!!!" Gypsies...
~ Healing lessons by Galen, you are beyond a master at what you do, truly, I'm lucky to be your student.
~ Many different NPC roles with a bum knee including a seven legged spider, limping earth elemental and a bee that stung for... "potion of greater antidote" the confused looks were priceless.
~ Getting my brain violated by Quan Liu. Yes, you're a master at logic and it hurt my head. No, I'm not drinking your swill.
~ Cloaks for a freezing Angeliana, you all know who you are, and you are all amazing. Thank you!
~ Getting thanked by Bagwell for asking about his well being every time I see him. Angeliana does this to everyone, this is the first time someone thanked her for it.
~ Trying to help Lord Aleister, feeling his pain and shaking the whole time researching and finding out about VIM, coming up with ideas and feeling the hopeless sadness he felt. Ouch.
~ Jonas offering to escort me and Maralas, finding out he would run or hide if conflict was to actually arise, telling him to do it, I would buy them time by letting the enemy kill me first and that I would gladly die to save his life. He thought it was an excellent plan but looked confused.
~ After showing respect to him all weekend, being ordered by Lord Brightstar to never bow my head again in his presence... I don't know how not to! Hate you Sam.
~ Achieving a goal by invoking someone's favor for someone else. Angeliana felt terrible about this but you were her last hope Syn.

Excellent event overall, a lot of great rp, can't wait for the next time I can make it

Quite an interesting event.

Pre-game, panicking about where to stay, and deciding to just grab a bed in the inn. Run into Goley and Conor, who invites me to stay in Kaladonia. Okay!
Kaladonia tent party time.

Kitten! Getting to watch as a little black ball of fur turns the entire camp to mush with its powers of cute.

Moving all the rocks and wood by the trenches Alisandria. Girls are stronger and Quinarians are prissy.

NPC SHIFT:Took first shift for a change.
Doing new player mod with Sean and Jen C. It's nice to be the first monsters for new people.

Going out as a greater imp repeatedly, and apparently decimating Ostcliff. Sorry guys!

Entering game as Annora, enjoy a fairly uneventful evening.

Around 5am, deciding to go to bed. Head down to tent with Keavy and Caelvan, and start prepping for sleep. Just get the boots off when ambushed by a dominated Bagwell. Saved by Caelvan's epic trap of waylaying epicness. Annora has gained a new appreciation for traps, and will be looking further into their utility at some point.

Being cheerily informed by Lord Brightstar that he was going to attune my pillow and bedding to the Kaladonia tent so I would always have to stay there.

Interesting discussion with the Yhatzi family at the marriage. IG, Annora was confused and annoyed. OOG, Karen found the whole thing hilarious. Deals with gypsies...

Earth elemental mod. Maze fights....
A big thank you to Anhil who worked hard to keep everyone together in some semblance of order.

Eating feast surrounded by Kaladonians. Satyrs wine. I say no more.

Main mod: Got to talk with Sir Cinder, as well as finding out more about "elven politics" than I ever wanted to know.

Hanging out in the inn until the early hours of Sunday morning and being witness to the aforementioned Aleister/Elawyn "all our friends are dead!" breakdowns.
And then Baba Yaga mod...the best part of that was the ethical/moral discussions that arose. And continued as the sun started to rise.

Lazy Sunday with fun RP.

Even with my knee giving out on me Saturday and Sunday, all in all, a fun event. Got to talk with a lot of people both IG and OOG that I haven't really interacted with before, which was nice. In most cases

There was a lot this event that was quite amazing (Chris, it was spectacular), but the thing that stole the event for me was post-Main Mod research.

The fact that I managed to actually use the skills from being a Scholar to make the veteran players THAT animated about something is probably one of my biggest highlights ever from an event. I look forward to the continuation of all of this, and can only see it getting better and better as the time goes by.

-this event marked the first time in my almost 12 year larp career i played an elf. hope it was believable!
-John H. is the man, both as bagwell and on NPC duty. All of the npcs under his command on the ghost mod were on point. extra credit to freddie lupus for being a good fighter.
-Craig and i both had a blast playing the investors/vampires. Brian, stacey, john, angel, kelly, doug, and jon all made it a highlight. let's give antrim tiny swords more often!
-Judge stole the show as rayne. The look, the walk, the violence, the voice, it was all there. i wont gush about this, but know that i could.
-WW's relationship with mixolydia continues to evolve, despite distance. A testament to Jen's attention to detail and dedication to character. thanks for being awesome.
-birthday brownies
-charles jr
-almost saying please
-palpable terror in the woods outside winterdark
