April 2012 Highlights

I had a great event, so I'd probably end up just writing out the whole thing if I listed all of it.

Ori made a rather impressive entrance, I hope, inadvertently causing a *lot* of chaos and getting a number of tempers up much higher than he might have liked... but first, he got to poke bandits with a stick! The debate over it with the Celts was super fierce, and the interrogation that followed was *super* intense. Thanks to all who participated... and it's not over yet!

An interesting note here: The character I played before Na'ar ended much the same way - a giant explosion of 25 Magic Earth... I guess that's just my luck?

NPC shift was pretty phenomenal too, especially that one little take-down I had as the only non-rogue in the group. Swashbuckler gets loot!

Saturday was great, despite not having slept: Master classes, Adventurer's Guild stuff, the Ice Drake, and yes, Brian, running into your merchant was excellent. I'll let you know that all the money I spent with you is well on its way to being recouped, and I'm hoping to see that guy again.

Feast was good, loved the presentation. Soul Harvester was interesting as well... saving lives, one snap of a finger at a time. More merchants, that always makes me happy. Also: fire rats. I kind of wish that fight had gotten a chance to play itself out, but those rats were just a little too sentient.

Sunday was nice, too, got to observe a student and lend out Shurri for her first major mission. Seemed like good to me. Nadya, as soon as I get the chance I'm teaching you a spell you're going to love.

See you all in May, I hope.

Well, first event for Dimetri Yhatzi to appear started as a fail and ended with plenty of directions to go. Thanks go to everyone I had interactions with as well as the plethora of new Celts that I have a new friendship with.

Friday
New Player Mod - having *been* the bandits before as an NPC, I felt bad for you. No chance at all. Got information about how "Vow of Poverty" Ritter was able to pay for the drinks of 15+ new players.
Spent a good deal of time talking to a pair of Healers while waiting to see my cousin after the bandit attacks. Thanks for the coin bracelet of course.
Felt bad that I didn't go with the group for the first adventure's guild mission that night. I was not going to answer a summons from such a crazy, large man.
Talk with my cousin Zafrin was both illuminating and disappointing. Maybe next moon I make that meeting.

Saturday
Breakfast...had an extra helper in the kitchen because I just felt off when I woke up. Good thing too as I made a few mistakes. Its what happens when your new and tell the proprietor of breakfast you can cook. It will be better next moon if I am not fired.
Simply Dimetri!
NPC shift...went out as Gnoll Brute with 11 others. Tasked to steal people for a ritual. Almost had two people. We did manage to nab one. Collected the rest of our sacrifices and took them to be tortured by totempole. Ended up having to run down the one we caught as he got away during the PC attack.
FEAST---Served and then melted in my seat with the deliciousness that I ate. It was wonderful, Goose!
MAIN MOD- Hurry here...wait. Hurry here...wait. Watch windows...wait. Watch the door....wait. Then, the search for the soul vials with the not so seasoned crew. And, done.
Rain Rain go away...come again another day!
While listening to my new friends, I hear about a suicide mission for the benefit of Travance. Intriguing. I hear more, and the next thing I know, Dame Hartwoode is asking if I have a strong stomach. Ok...as long as no one from my gypsy family is getting hurt. Walk to one place, magic to another. Lord Fallow......WHATTTTT! Literally, I was singing a gypsy song in my head to counter the evil and wickedness I was exposed to...That will never leave the background of Dimetri's mind about what had to be done. It better be worth it.

Yeah. . .a few months. . . try few decades. . .

Indeed!

Sunday
Struck up a conversation with a Quinarian elf...we found a understanding to a situation that befell us earlier. I ended up getting some lessons from him as well. So strange, but friendly for some reason.
Saw a group forming...followed the group. Nothing happening. Saw another group form, decided to check it out. Water and ice elementals....the lady who summoned obviously didn't know what she was doing because more came out. We finished them off finally. Evasive sword fighting for the win.
Sold a cricket. Someone said I couldn't. So I did.

Hey all, had a fabulous first event...

Met far too many people to rememer many names :blush:

Missed the "New Player Mod" since I had unwittingly signed up for the very first NPC Shift... However, had a blast as a dark Celt in the woods... in between getting lost in the dark :oops:

Stumbled into a WONDERFUL feast at Alisandria, thank you greatly!
And then later the wonderful Baronial Feast! So much for worries about food!

Did not do much "adventuring" per se, aside from watching the guy in front of me eat an "Acid Bomb, 60!" at the Slimes encounter and deciding that I probably really didn't want to get too close to that :whistle:

Wandered the woods some for treasure and/or soul vials... found nothing but trees

Realized the "main mod" really wasn't gonna do much for me except be trapped in the Inn when they divided the room between under and over "thirty seasons" :blink:

Trying to catch a few winks near the "murder couch" when afflicted townfolk (obviously quite powerful warriors) suddenly started fights on both sides of the area and realizing there was no where to hide :woohoo:

However, I did get one goal ticked off, hired on as the gravedigger for the Church... gotta start at the ground floor

Special thanks to Larry Wile for making sure I wasn't lost in the shuffle!

Gargoyle on Gargoyle honor combat?!! I have two and you have? Nah

I want to say thank you to everyone. This is going to be my last event for a long while due to the stuff with my health. I wanted to say that it has been a great pleasure to meet a lot of new faces and even more old friends. I don't think it will be forever I will be gone from the game, but we will see where the road leads.

thanks guys, It has been awesome
Brian Hess

Brian,
We all wish you improved health and well being. Know our thoughts and prayers are with you!

Brian,

It was nice meeting you. I am sending healing thoughts your way!

Best of luck slogging to the top of the list, Brian. Of course, IG I am going to say you fled like a cur at the thought of honor combat with me.

I'm sure he's partying it up with Balthier somewhere over in Coast Haven- could you imagine, honor combat with Haroldson. Spooky thought, that

Alright, finally getting around to posting my highlights!

Friday night: having a surprisingly uneventful evening... At first...

Walking with the scholars to some invisable library because I had nothing better to do.
Then hanging out with ostcliff until Magnus, Quinn, and several others showed up.
Getting attacked my sprites, but not being able to do much about it since I could not see them.
Helping the adventurer's guild with carrying off the group of goblinoids.
Finally freaking out when Elric discovered that the soul harvester that is running around travance was the same one that attacked his OTHER home.
Saturday:
Trading a balance armor for a resist? I am willing to do that more often!
Remembering why I never drink chai on an empty stomach... But it was Sooo good!
Going treasure hunting, and finding ratmen.
Killing said ratmen, and finding gems.
Being ordered to have some food at the allisandria cookout.
Then not doing much else until main mod.

Main mod:

Being handed a pile of pin scrolls, and being told to have at.

Finally having my puncture armor break the 50 damage mark.

Not much else happened to me that event, missed a lot of the Sunday morning fighting.

Not exactly a highlight, but I got a kick out of Elric being an armed escort for the 5 scholars (of which I was one) going to the caravan.

Hey, if that npc wasn't there, we would have had a plan for finding which building/ wagon was the one you would have been looking for.
Think of me as a reverse divining rod!

I know very well the value of a well-placed crowd control ability.

Pfft, I want to be somewhere in Coast Haven partying it up with Balthier!!!
Also, a highlight I missed. Roleplaying with Elias after a long time of not doing so. xD You're doing an awesome job RPing with your sword~
