May Event Highlights

"Why don't they call Black Sorcery Evil Stupid Douchebag sorcery?"

Odo's impersonations

"What's over there?"
Marshall:  "Darkness that draws you into it if you step inside"
"With arcane power I cast a Magic Missile!"
??? PC: "Oh no you just didn't..."

Rayven being TOTALLY lost...

Magnus' brawling training with Solomon

Magnus going down from a low blow, then offering to use a salve of soothing before I found out WHY.

Malcolm McBride vs. Rayven.

The lecture from Germaine... EXCELLENT RP.

Low-Lights:
Lunging face, neck, chest, eye... Not a fun fall.  Not being able to see or breathe.

Brrr... cold, windy, sore, and very dirty.  Ahhh, it was a good event. 

Friday
1. The car ride in with the Brooklyn Boys... an adventure in itself with all the rain, fog, and semi trucks whizzing by.
2. Setting up the Black Orchid Guild hall and getting hired on as a guard.  Best bodyguard work ever.
3. I hate spiders.  Especially ones that do Body damage.

Saturday morning
1. Wow... it's cold.
2. MMmmmm, breakfast.
3. NPCing as the most obnoxious, rude, crass, violent warriors ever, and then getting paid 3 silver to work for the town.
4. Matt (aka Magnus) I am so sorry for the 'low-blow', I thought I was aiming higher and lightly tapping your gut/thigh.  Still, great RP.
5. Seeing 1 of our NPC's staring at a low-cut blouse and egging for a beat-down... sorry, but I had to laugh.
6. Cameron's masochistic beating of his junk will be forver in my mind.
7. Playing a fire elemental and then trying to fight Antrim... might as well blow myself up in a puff of smoke.
8. Playing a Chaos Warrior and performing a virgin sacrifice... finally got something from a Mass and it was as an NPC.
9. Seeing the cool RP and righteous anger of the town after finding the peasant sacrifices.  Lex wanted blood.  Kiellor tracking down the bad guys was nice.

Saturday night
1. Feast was awesome... or so I heard.  I ran late and didn't get a chance to eat it.  My own fault.  Still, keep up the good work.
2. Vegas night at the Black Orchid... only thing missing was the hookers and Wayne Newton performing.
3. Seeing Mother Quinn double down each time was hilarious.
4. Exodus' wanting to catch the green fairy and the antics that ensued.
5. Wow it got cold.
6. Astral jellyfish?
7. So, if we tie Lucious to a string, we can go Atral Jellyfishing... hmmm...
8. So, for 5 gold, we got sanctuary and free food and drink?  Best 5 gold ever spent.
9. No one wanting to leave the casino at closing.  Geezz...

Sunday morning
1. The commute back was surreal.  Saw 3 blown out tires back to back.
2. Litterally, everyone there their mother was out today. 

Had a blast and thanks to Geoff for the weapons he brought, even though he was under the impression I wasn't coming.  Thanks to the Brooklyn boys for giving me a ride to and back from event.

See you in June... maybe.

Super excellent movie style agguaran temple mod!  Best improv mod ever
Main mod was a blast
Late night undead with keillor.
Feast's 1-5 were sooo good.

All in all, best event I've had in a long time

-having to find my ear tips at ass o-clock was an unexpected turn of events...
-epic loots
-awesome feast(s)
-so tired

Getting a sweet and powerful magic item from Matt White.
Getting mugged by Matt White and losing said sweet and powerful magic item.

5th rank Orange Sorcery

Such an awsome feast- great job Matt

Coming into game after my MM shift and 3 people coming up to me trying to explain what is going on, ignoring them and going to cast a ritual on Kate.

Having Jon mad at me for changing Kate into an elf, until he finally started to like it.

Being way too good of a door guard.

Getting confirmation from a Lord that I'm alowed to do whatever I want to people with magic, as long as I don't strike anyone with a sword.

Getting to rp with Alisa again, always fun.

If I don't feel like a 70 year old woman after NPCing and whole event, than I didn't put enough effort into it.

so sore

the best part of the event was "john" the alchemist's diseased servant.  playing that for an hour and a half killed my back more than the wooden beds though

playing the Agguaren super priest/chaos warrior and getting tooled because SOMEONE forgot to give me anything at all to defend against even the most simple of spells.

sacrificing commoners

Cniderianoids (ny*DER*ian*oid) or "Astral Jelly Fish" is what the town decided to name them.

The feast was the best feast I have ever experienced.

Seeing faces, old and new.  You guys are all so awesome and I am very happy to be back.

Lich kiling at ) dark hundred Friday night.  They are tough.  Was so drained at the end, that when I totalled everything up, I had to take a potion of refreshment, and even then, I begrudged the point to use Holy Light to see my way back to Kaladonia.

Losing a game of chess (while playing two simultaneously) to Tick.  It is a true highlight because:
It showed how much he has advanced as a student.
I no longer have to worry about not losing a game.
It was worth losing to watch this big guy dancing and prancing.

Being a virgin sacrifice - glad to help make you happy, Gary.
Main mod was interesting.  Being unhurtable by some of the Chaos Warriors due to having Divine Vestments was nice.  Blinking in and out of being able to use my various powers was interesting.  It was nice to be useful on a main mod on differesnt levels.

Great Marshalling by Liz H, Jne, W, and Doug.  Nice set up.

Walking back after the group made it to the objective and being surrounded by jellyfish.  Melding with Earth, and hearing Jen while laughing say "I wondered how you planned on getting out of that."

Waking up at around 0400 Sunday hearing a creak on the front porch, to confront two Death Assassins, or something.  Started chanting when I could not see them.  Started chanting really loud and Cameron sleeping through it.  Standing in my socks, a cotton nightshirt and sweatshirt, freezing my nether regions, finally waking him up and tellling him to get help from the statehouse.  Waiting, no kidding, around five minutes while he got dressed (he is, at best, a slow waker), freezing, having to pee (Geoff, marsahlling this, not letting me call a hold), then fianlly seeing him go out the door only to hear a thud as he is assassinated.  Bringing him up, fighting blindly, deflecting and stoneskinning, and chanting some more until a tired looking Lord Pyre, Paige, and Br. Nightwing show up.

While RPing with Paige the next tmorning, her wondering if Rayven will have to be cured of the minor insanity point cause by seeing me in my nightclothes.

Really enjoyed the RP with Heather, Matt (Rayven), Jon, and Michelle.  Some really ong sessions.

Especailly enjoyed Paige's reaction to the Lore: Legion manuscript, when she asked how much I would charge to duplicate it, including scribing.

Taking down two rings of slavers, having some of them understand that I really meant it when I said "Drop your weapons now or You will surely die."

Great feast, even if it was a diabetic's nightmare with all the starch.  Nothig a little nap before main mod did not cure.   

Stretching out on two benches before the fire and no one asking me to move.  Thank you.

Coming across Kiellor and Adan and randomly jumping onto an Aguarran mod was the most fun ever.  Realizing that said priests in the temple could not defend against fire, and promptly smoking everyone.

A lot of fun hanging out with the black orchid pcs before game...and a very great sadness about not getting a chance to rp with them.

Adan...where is my deer?

Kiellor..I have this plan....

Antrim I have this demon stick...

Finally being really powerful, and actually killing things.

Best feast ever...Great job Matt and Matt's mom, I have never eaten so much or enjoyed it so much in my life.

Just a lot of fun rp all event was so great.  I got a chance to hang out with people that I normally don't and people that I haven't interacted with before, so that was so much fun.

How could I forget the 78 mile trip home without power steering (due to running over a stick, which in turn broke a hose).  A Park Avenue weighs in at over two tons, btw.  As I type this I am in the office of Investment Auto, waiting for a new hose.  ::sigh::  At least it was cheap.

This will be short, I'm sure perhaps I will post more later. - I am soooo dead tired, even over 24 hours after leaving the site.

Let's see.  Friday night Witch Hunter meetings.  It's hard to go wrong with these for intense moments, and alternatively, laughter and smiles.

Kwildar quickly deciding he did not want to go back into that portal... And then willingly going through the portal at least four more times.

'Stupid O'Clock' conversations with Keillor, Tauri, Janus and Aidan.

Lord Pyre's rendition of "The Lost Arrow of Yngwie" just after it happened.

Annabelle's further praise and subsequent embarrassment of Kwildar.

Giving the benediction at feast, and Kwildar's nervousness surrounding it.

Feast itself.  Amazing. (Matt, you are amazing.  Lady Zero, I am afraid that I never got your real name, I apologize, you are amazing as well!)

Talks with Brother McBride.  And crying at the altar before and during them.

Drunken mercenaries, 'saving' Mother Jarren, and subsequently washing my lap off in the pond near the inn.

Main Mod - "For Andorra's love! Smite, 19 divine" and hearing just what some others thought I had shouted afterward.

Main Mod - An accidental belch, followed by Andy's character turning around as Kwildar tried to excuse himself, and saying, "Welcome to the world, Kwildar!"

Waking up in the middle of the night to shapes in the cabin, then waking up in the Monestary. (Yes, I had a lot of fun getting assassinated.  You know who you are.... Thanks for a really fun moment, guys!)

Getting ressurected by Keillor.  And hearing Drew's impression later.

Rayven: "I wish I could find some way to learn Malediction."
Kwildar: "I can help you with that."
Rayven, blinking incredulously. "You can Maledict!?"
Kwildar nods quietly.

Teaching your mentors something new is always a good feeling.

Leo and Corrin.... Chris, you are awesome! 'Nuff said there.

Hounding 'Mister Pyre', 'Kathasarara', 'Snow Lady', 'Rose' and 'Exit' for the rest of the morning while escaping from slavers.  Priceless.

The Ugly Mug afterward.  Lots of amazing conversations.  Receiving an unexpected, but amazing compliment from Danny.  Thank you, Danny.  I hope to always keep it going.

By far one of my more favorite events to be at...

Good IG and OOG surprises for me all around.

Tari, Aiden, and Kiellor walk into a temple...explosions follow!
sleeping through main mod(accidental) and waking up to find some undead were sent out to make up for my sleepiness.
resurrections at ridiculous o'clock sunday.
RP with everyone was top notch
witchhunter's guild meeting was good good gooood
'Aiden to pass your witch hunter test you must pet a deer'
odo's impersonations and the laughter that followed.
All in all an amazing event hands down. 

This was a great event even if it was super cold at night.

Friday:
- spending the entire mod listening to the battles outside and building a fire as my first age sorceress
- the rp with the three people who came in first and earned Rhiannon's trust
- intending to give immunity rings to four people but Apollo becoming my best friend by giving me MP and entrusting the job to him
- finally showing up as Rosa and her first view of cold, sleepy sorcery

Saturday:
- everyone's confused reactions to Rosa the elf
- Antrim's very unimpressed reaction was still the best one because I'd actually OOG forgotten he hadn't seen me
- Saving people from the demon room with blink + Gaia's embrace
- Logan's "confession"
- Getting to help attune some new healers & priests to the focus
- The conversation about new paths with Antrim, Rayven and Brother Germaine
- Accidentally freezing everyone in the room with a holy word prayer and being stuck like that for about 25 minutes

Sunday:
- running around with the children was fun and tiring
- jumping off the porch to speed cast a divine sanctuary around a child
- getting insulted out of it and attacking a living creature for the first time
- after all that: Rosa never wants children now (yeah happy mother's day)

Sunday
-Ilana coming into town with Emar and Niotrul. Enjoyed the little story with that
-Making friends with a very strange high elf and thinking him the coolest one ever
-Pretending having little experience in chess (They're clearly horses, not knights. And what makes you think a tower is a large black bird?)
-Portal insanity and dropping more times then I have in whole at Knight Realms... but saving people was fun.
-Silly people... you don't mess with Lich possessions and expect nothing to go wrong...
-Weapon practice antics (Stone grip.. so cruel but so entertaining)

Saturday
-Cinnamon pancakes! Making breakfast was fun ^^ Progressively running out of mix was not.
-Physcian list learned! This is going to be so much fun
-Brute clan deciding Ilana was their new wife.... hoping not to be carried off and glad no one was hurt despite the many nasty looks Ilana friends were giving them.
-Ilana practicing with her staff... and basically being picked on.
-Golems of all kinds... having only the negative/positive golems attacking me and my elemental shield being useless...
-Spending my gold on people and being happy they were happy.
-Cooking feast and being amazed by the kind of work Matt and his mother put into it. I'm so glad I work for Magnus.
-Ilana deciding to go back to her old ways and be 'ok' with the fact she's a wildmage.
-Late Monestary Visit and it being so late missing beginning of Main Mod and hanging out with the portal guards
-Prepared to fight Astral Jellyfish until Nobles are running away from said jellies.... soon following them
-Having to pay 5 gold for sanctuary and being so annoyed.... and pleased with the final results. Chocolate + Fruit + Warm food + a good drink= a content way to finish the night
-Ending the night in a different cabin and being so very happy I was not in my cabin when I hear the next morning Kwildar and our new hobbit friend were killed by blasts of doom.
-Wondering if I were hit with said blasts if I could have just called a catastrophic blast and ruin the assassins night....but also glad I didn't have to find out.

Sunday
-Taking bets: Will Ilana die in her sleep within 5 moons?
-Saving children from nasty slave traders
-Half worried I'd have to 1 vs 3 another group of slave traders... luckily the others showed up.
-Possible Chronicler priestess of the future. More to come, haven't found that fork in the road yet.
-Deciding one does not need to be a scholar to learn things... must bring more quills
-Cook Profs!
-Finalizing a few things and mostly liking the results (I think...)

So much done this event and next event is proving to be just as insane. There was great RP involved and I can't wait for more. The list of people I'm liking at these events is growing and people are always showing me there is so much to what's really going on. Can't wait to see what happens in June. Things just get better and better

Pre-Game:
Antics with UPS getting the Nemesis order in. The first part of the shipment, that had everyone else's stuff but mine, arrived the Friday of the Anniv. event while I was on my way to the campsite.  I took this Friday off again to get there at a reasonable time, and once again, the package (this time with the Anvil and Gideon's new sword) came in on Friday - but this time I actually trained into NYC, picked it up from work, and trained back out to have them for the event.  It was worth it!

Packing D (Sasha), Andy (Nicolai), and all my stuff into one car.  "Snooch" has a lot of room, but even so, it was tight...

Getting 15 minutes out, and realizing I forgot my armor, which was attuned.  We had to go back and get it...

SUCK traffic on 287, up to and across the Tappan Zee.  Ugh!

The Event:
Being able to finally use all the new toys I ordered back in Jan. / Feb., that all came in at once.

Decent weather, even if it was a tad cold... at least it wasn't raining.

Friday night: Ardis - "This sounds like a Corsair trick."  Saturday, seeing him show up, although at least it wasn't the WHOLE plot that was a trick.

Being the right PC at the right time.  Doug had been taunting me for playing the wrong PCs all of the April event...

Hiding various people behind the shield.

Mentioning a talking book to Osred, and realizing I'd have to escort him into the Portal once I mentioned it.

Discussions w/ Germain - "How long would it take to make an exalted mithril breastplate?" "26 hours."

Getting to see almost everyone be happy with their Nemesis order, including the Troll Femurs given to logistics.  The only unhappy customer was the owner of a pair of scabbards that didn't fit his Nemesis scimitars. D'oh - but they found a good home in the end!  (Mike D. - that Elven Saber is kick-ass!)

Feast!  Nom nom nom nom nom!

The return of Mike V.  Welcome back!

Morwenne: "Ethan hasn't said a word to me in months."  Gideon: "He just sent me a letter."  Morwenne: "I'm going to KILL him!"  Gideon (Internal): "Oops."

Friday:  RP with some new faces, great to see people jumping right in.
            Daedri begrudgingly realizing he is becoming attatched to the life hes leading here.
            Aerin's feminine wiles forcing Daedri to show off and do something heroic
            Being considered by many to be stupid has its benefits.
           

Saturday: Waking up too early due to throwing all my blankets off during the night, apparently my body doesnt have that whole 'self preservation' thing down yet.
                Going back to sleep for a couple hours, waking up to my favorite battle cry "Run away!"
                Losing an ear in combat again. Never finding it. Next event I bring two pairs.
                FEAST! I wish I saved a plate of it to have bronzed and present to you and your mom as 
                a trophy. Thank you and everyone who helped you.
                RP with Jonas and Germaine, Enter a new era for this pirate.
               

Ball got rolling this event, cant wait to see what it crashes into next event.
               
               

First time up, had a bit of trouble figuring out how to work my racial fear.
Enjoyed a training session with a kindly dragoon(can't remember the name, sorry)
Loathed not being able to help much, loving the few instances when i could.
Woke up 4 am, then woke up in the monestary. apparently i was assassinated.
talked to people, talked to more people, discovered that many of them are pretty cool.
Enjoyed feast, pilfered a bit of it for later
All-in-all, had a good first time there, can't wait to return!

Seeing as this was my first event and I was NPC all weekend, twas pretty intense. I couldn't be happier.

Friday-
Learned how to battle as a lizard thingy, also stepped in huge puddle and had a wet foot for the rest of the night
Came to the Inn as an annoying Goblin "You have shiny?"
Missed being a spider, because of being an annoying Goblin
Was a baby wolf and got food, water and shelter at the Inn!

Saturday- Too much to remember
Highlights include
Being a slave trader, getting hit with poison ivy in game and then thrown in jail
Norm asking Matt how much his mother was worth in trade
Being a loud, raucous barbarian, trying to get thrown out/ killed but getting paid instead
Being an almost ritual sacrifice, but my screams were enough to get the town to come running
Becoming a chaos beasty for main mod and getting pummeled
Yelling "Despair"  almost every time I respawned and hearing the annoyed groans of the PCs, hilarious

Sunday-
I had to leave early

Thanks for a great event, while I was tired, cold, and sore for most of the weekend, I had a blast and will be returning for June!

From what I still remember..

- Having a copy of the Lore: Legion book being made for me! I win. Thank you Father Edwin and Amazar.
- The conversation/rp with Germaine that made me miss 3/4 of main mod. Totally worth it.
- Chilling with Ardis and Morwenne outside of the portal keeping an eye out for the jellyfish things.
- Sending out undead at three in the morning for Seamus.. who slept right through it and let Aleister and Kiellor have all the fun.
- Aleister calling "intimidate" on me as the Necromancer teacher and forgetting what it does oops
- Volunteering to help Magnus with his orphanage now that he has nine children.
- Breakfest. Galen, make me some. Damn good eggs.
- All the brief rp with Rayven, Juniper, Kwildar and so on..
- Driving home from the event on three hours of sleep.

It was a fun and chill event overall.

Friday Night
Falling asleep in a very safe cabin. And oversleeping because of it.

Saturday Morning.
Breakfast Pre-Order.
Odo returns and has great hair.
Missing the friday night portal deal, but being told by everyone what was up.
Fighting. And going solo for the first time in a while.
Covering an artifact in rocks to make sure it was protected?

Feast was awesome. Awesome. AWESOME!

Main Mod. Watching out for the new citizens of Travance.

Sunday.
Wow, I must have been on a roll of some kind with those impersonations. Thanks for laughing folks.
