June 2012 Highlights!!!!!

Dude, I am impossible to creep out. I promise. You just keep being your awesome self, and keep RPing like a boss. I'm sure we'll all enjoy it when Ridigan beats the living daylights out of Uthred.

Where to start? Loosing the cards for my armor and it being so ridiculously super super hot wasn't perhaps the best thing but it was still an outstanding weekend.

Friday:
Lay On: Truly awesome stuff. Judge, I am forwarding you the therapist bills.

Custom Made Super Magical Chris Z Mod Which Was Not At All Creepy; Where it was learned that being a blabbermouth is actually good sometimes. This was also where I learned what happens when a member of Alisandria gets into trouble.

Saturday:

Chat with Lord Blackthorn

NPC Shift:
How to hook a mod in less than 2 minutes. Remi+Agaura+ Twue Love = "Wow, where did all these people come from? And boy do they look upset." Also making up a marriage proposal on the spot only to have it thankfully intercepted.

Asking Bjorn how he defines virtue in exchange for a silver weapon and Bran jumping in for fun.

Main Mod: Wow. Just..wow.

Sunday:

Master Warrior training
Breakfast in Alisandria

I'll be out for July but if there is still a Travance left I'll be there in August.

Chris Z's Grave yard mod was pretty awesome. I realized early on "Crap I don't know how to get to the grave yard at night so i have to find someone else with these cards so I can follow" Then telling Anhil to stop being dumb. Although Clergy's reaction to me going off into the grave yard at night alone was rather disappointing.

Saturday- Using my elf's costume for Ekat because it was far too hot to wear pants.

Being the LM for Cam was awesome. Everyone on the Saturday 2-6 NPC Shift, I hope you had as much fun as we did... I know it was hot but you guys did awesome. Dire Fire Spiders.

Feast was Delish! And the IceCream was amazing!

Feast Low Light- Old and new players leaving their dishes for others to clean up. Its not fair that they do it, and its always annoying and has turned into a pet peeve.

Getting back to my bunk after feast clean up sitting down and being woken up 2 hours later for main mod and not realizing that I fell asleep the way I did. I changed out of sandels and into boots and went to main mod.

Personal Highlight with main mod. Actually running and being able to keep up without being winded. This is awesome for me because it shows that the asthma medications they have me on is working really well.

Post Main Mod: Laying on the floor with the Mages Guild Master looking at him and making a snide comment about a Mage and Wild Mage laying together.

Sunday: Helping with Bat Cooper's Master Warrior Test- Pegging him in the shoulder with an arrow while he was blocking with a sheild.

Post Event Ritas. Yum.

This was my first KR event and I have to say I had a blast! Even though most of my time was spent in the kitchen/behind the bar (on my own accord, mind you) I still had a great, fulfilling experience. Everyone was very welcoming and understanding of my few rules questions, and really made me want to return. The role play, environment and atmosphere was just amazing and truly reminded me why I love LARPing so much. I sure do hope real life allows me to return soon! Thank you all for an amazing event and bringing the "magic" of LARPing back into my heart.

Also, I have to say the low level "Menagerist" mod with Mercutio was the best encounter I had all weekend. I love mods that are so ridiculous you have a great time while still maintaining character. And come on, Thunder Lizards are cool!

I make no promises.

I didn't get to spend a lot of time at the game, but no matter how difficult the trip is to get there, I love seeing my friends.

Special shout out to Steve B to playing chauffeur.

My sideways move to bodyguard to Lady Cassandra will be interesting, but seeing Bagwell getting to step up as Squire is awesome. He'll make an awesome knight & be 1 of the fastest ones to do it, I bet you.

Most surprising is me not exploding into a ball of fire or sweat from the heat. Hell, me showing up at a summer event is a rarity in itself!

Seeing the [strike]nature hippies[/strike], I mean Druids, Rangers come to Alisandria to help the flower grow & make the cure was fun. The shared looks I had with Lord Brightstar as we kept wondering "Is this a good thing or not?"

The shenanigans afterwards with the nectar & being drunk/high off them.

I also wanna thank Judge for writing a great plot, for all the facets that ALL professions had to play a part, & for the special favor afterwards for driving.

Thank you all for such an amazing event and game this month! With my insanity I got to play anti-Anhîl and that was amazing. Thank you. See you at DexCon and next event.

don't be sorry, devouring limbs is fun!

Judge and Steve, you two are the best duo. The plot this weekend was awesome! So much that my voice was a mere cracking whisper by the end of it! (It's almost back now though, thanks tea and honey!)

Friday:
NPC: Swarmed the Inn as an infected person, scaring the living crap out of everyone. (I know I did, I saw your faces!) Ran through people screaming, jumping on tables, lots of fun. Got captured at one point and tied to a tree. I must have stood there laughing for a good half hour. Freaky, no?
Then played a guard to usher in a psion duo coming later.
Then thugs (thug life! Lmao) But damn nature, you scary! Out in the middle of the woods being freaked out by a duck and other random sounds. Not fun.

Back as Keavy...Went to the inn for literally 5 minutes...then went to sleep.

Saturday!:
Being without Caelvan! womp womp
Actually, I had a lot more RP than fighting roles this event. Kinda nice to change it up.
Through Fate of Wisdom, I was able to Teach for the event, and my first lesson was to Trissana about being a Ranger
Kaladonia Breakfast!
Meeting with Belegchand. Nice relaxing roleplay in the a/c
Keavy trying to be helpful by using Chaotic Alteration on an enemy, but end up having Boryev scream in her face. Lmao, I was shaken IRL for a minute there.
Being one Bloody Stump hot dog away from becoming the Avatar of Arawyn! LMAO! Still, got to help and witness Triss become such. From then on I was practically her bodyguard throughout the day haha
Scouted the areas for main mod with Lady Elawyn, Kamei and others, whilst learning a lesson of Forceful Gust in between.
Feast. Soo good.
Somewhere in between, Keavy was asked by a few people to teach her things. Flattered, but sadly never got to get around to them, or was unable to. Sorry!

Main Mod:
Hot damn.
Keavy got busy.
Being Trissana's direct bodyguard with Remi, making sure we get where we need to go while still following Archer's orders. (even with some disputes, it managed to work out). Giving people inviolate form, and making sure that other people who are infected got hit with Trissana's Kiss potion, otherwise they'd go crazy. @_@ So much screaming with an already cracked voice. Damn! Awesome!

After main mod, another meeting with Belegchand and the new players for the swords. Keavy pitched in for Malestrom AND Radizeal (not previously knowing that Radizeal was even being offered haha) Sooooo close to earning Radizeal, but through great RP between her and Jade, the lesson she learned was a better reward. (Honestly it was! So much cooler that I didn't get it haha)

Then sleep!

Sunday:
I am the Priestess of Pancakes!
Went to help someone who had lizard kin attacking her berries.
Hide and Seek Cloak of the Green lesson with Typhon and Rane!
In the middle of teaching Bran how to Cleave when grim guardians and whatever Gean was (lol) attack. Used my cleave on him, thus ending the lesson haha!

Had to leave early because of work Boo. (and work sucked too!!) Thanks everyone for an awesome event!

Keavy Lylas Kennyreplith wrote: ...and whatever Gean was...

Speaking of which, the quote of the weekend (and for that matter, one of the best quotes I have ever heard anywhere, ever) came from a 5-year-old:

*Gene is getting greened up to play the nature's herald in logistics when young master Tommy walks up to him*

"You look like the incredible hulk... or the incredible DORK!"

oh wow... I think this was like... what would your character do if it knew it had only a few days to live kind of event

Friday:
- seeing new people this weekend! I hope to see you guys next event~
- Immediately starting the event with a full on attack! holy hell! Rane wanted to throw up again... but getting some good shots in! yay I'm useful!
- not enough time to go check my arrows, so had to only attack at point blank... sry guys! I would rather not hit you with an unchecked arrow.
- after all the ruckus finding out the stump is closed so I had no work that night...
- finding out that the parasite was now airborne, and only having 3 days to live.
- Wolfgar's confession to Krom about his mother. It was very sad and touching. didn't think barbarians were such softies.
- Landin finding his long lost brother Sintharus.

Saturday:
- This tent is too hot!!! *pulls tent flaps open and dumps water over her head*
- getting archery lessons from Loreli~ Thankies!
- Some of the people attacking around the mages guild. getting some target practice in!
- kicking myself for not having enough gold to buy chocolate bacon cakes.
- Renaming my dagger "yo mama!"
- Playing as an Andorian priestess, and getting stabbed by "yo mama!" I swear the dagger stabs me more then I stab things with it!
- Npc purposal. then finding out later at someone used power of suggestion. you guys are so bad... lol!!!
- cannon fodder rat people! the masks were terrible, but they smelled of chocolate!
- on my way back from npc shift, seeing what I thought was an infected in the woods. then later finding out it was a very shy dryad.
- Smiling Jack and sleeping Mary was it? Rane called them "Man Eater" and "Lady Killer" lol
- Main mod was fun, but being bunched up in a large group made it very hard to maneuver a bow and arrow without hitting someone who was not a monster. >_<
- Got mauled and almost thought I was going to take a death. Thank god that guy was there to save the dropped people that were left behind!
- Thank god the lady was there to revive the last guy.
- spending the night getting Rane drunk and chillin with Jack.
Sunday:
-awake before wake up mods. yes!
-another bottle of water... tent still too hot! >.<
- Trollin around and spotting some kolbolts around our tent. then spent time with people.
- Watching them play with my bow and arrow.
- omg! candies!
- A game of hide and seek with Keavy and Thyphon!
- Omg! it's an Earthqua-... Omg! that kid is so cute!!!
- Water fight at Ostcliff! damn you Landin for using a stun skill.

sorry if I snapped at a few people. I got a bit frustrated at main mod. but as always I had fun~ I'll see you guys in july!

Judge and Steve did a great weekend. I'm giving them new names, Sick and Twisted.

I'm having lots of fun interacting with new players. I was impressed that Ashley/Beth was seriously hydrating.

Missing the 0300 Saturday mod because I knew I had to at least start breakfast at 0845. Was very happy to give it over to Damian around 0940. Was even happier to go to CostCo around 1100 with Kelly to buy ice cream.

Feast was perfect.

I hate the heat, so I was not in a hurry to have my hauberk crafted - no way I was going to wear it or my divine vestments.. Ten minutes into the "Heavy Hitter" mod with Matt M as the main protagonist regretting my decision.

I really liked the way the speed of Matt was done, but it would have been nice to have the full explanation up front as confusion reigned for a bit.

Speaking with Erdrick on the way about when is the best moment to use Time Stop.
Using it, and exhausting every offensive tag skill while Erdrick was also whacking him, and the sucker portalled away. Must have taken at least 30 Incinerates from Antrim and me.

For the first time I used every defensive and offensive skill, and was down to my amulet for magic, having consumed a potion of greater regeneration.

Did three Sorcery Rituals - the last one was my first failure - the result was Success and no expenditure of MPs. :cool:

Teaching lots of things to lots of people - even that made me sweat. Elizar and Quadrivium was interesting, immediately after teaching someone else the Trivium. My university education paid off.

All the NPCs were excellent, but Tim P stood out to me. When three of us slammed his Trample, he said, "Well shit" and dropped on his back. He played havoc with us for a while.

Tommy and Tobar - you had to see Zach chasing him and always just not quite catching him.

Hello, KR! This was my first time larping, ever, so I just wanted to share my experiences with you all.

-BRILLIANT plotline all the way through (even if I did miss a lot of the exciting things since I'm a newbie)
-being scared to death right from the start with the infected swarm coming in the inn because i left my staff in the car and couldn't and forgot all the spells that I knew.
-not being squishy due to Ferris's armor that he lent my brother OOG
-my brother OOG being my brother IG (Sindarian) and going absolutely crazy at a mod when I was hurt
-NPCing as a swarm of incredibly easy to kill rat vermin, yet overrunning and killing half of the group. I felt really bad when we were told to loot your stuff...it wan't not a cool thing I did, sorry.
-HONEYED BUTER!!!!
-great roleplaying even all the way through dinner
-seeing a drunk elf
-sleeping through main mod, then waking up to drink and ask what went on, then going back to sleep and sleeping through a ghoul attack
-good pancakes at breakfast
-being an IG psionicist and people telling me that the new abilities are totally awesome (felt a lot of pride for choosing a profession that kicked butt!)
-getting hit on at The Stump after Sindarian sprinted over to Draga Mire since he was late for an important meeting. I did not expect that, being much younger than most at the event. However, they did escort me back to the Inn and gave me a bit of ale. Yay for that?
-and lastly, meeting all of these incredible people at KR. Honestly, thank you all so very much for making me really enjoy my time. It seems like I found myself a new hobby! I'll be sure to come to KR as often as I can.

Thank you, everyone!

I walked in, saw everyone, and was like sorry, here take an insanity.

Hit with big stick. Strategy worked pretty well for me.
At least, until I got my arms chewed off!!
...That was the ghouls, not the skeletons, though.

I don't actually remember everything I did... but that's normal.

Friday:
Mass and lots of pained healers... and then the screaming. All of the infected screaming. Notable moments: Matt - holding you off just barely with my staff. Dani - watching you laugh for that half-hour. Everyone else: struggling to figure out how the hell to keep those things down!

Gambling with Augustus and other patrons of the Stump. In particular, Correll: All in with the buy-in!

Saturday:
Market Faire is always good. Had to skip feast so I could find food I could eat... but it's all good.

Healing lessons... finally managing to have some during fights!

Druid lesson! Wonderful conversation with all involved, especially Elawyn and Typhon. I'm really glad we shared that moment... and I'm excited to be another protector.

Popping up as Ori for a while was fun... not a whole lot to do, but the RP was there... and it has to happen for learning's sake!

Main mod was... interesting. I don't think I ever really knew what was going on at any given point... but figuring stuff out along the way was good.

Merchanting it up... I'm hoping I see Adela again.

Fighting ghouls with Galen and getting to act like a witch hunter. Also, seeing Ferris run around with his arms cut off. I don't think I've ever seen a ghoul run around that much before... and the armless enemy fleeing for its "life" is always funny.

Saturday NPC:
Lots of fun with this. New Player Zone seems to work spectacularly from the inside, I'm excited to see more of the zones. Even though I only was there for half the time it was open, I enjoyed seeing the diversity of challenge we could ply the PCs with. I think I also heard the funniest thing I've heard from Jonas in a while. Also, Jeff, your mod with the rats was a lot of fun. I know it was a little challenging to set up, but talk about a thrill ride to play. I finally understand why people rave about Warlockery all the time.

Sunday:
Selling candy, more healing lessons, and oh yeah! A corrupted Nature's Herald with all of the buddies!

Cheers... see you all next month!

Mother Remi Sylvaine wrote: Mary...Now you just need to be at the same event as Tom so we can have hilarious "I'm Remi's sister and you have to earn my approval" RP.

I'm looking forward to it. I also need to play Marigold at the same time as anyone playing Valosian clergy.

Vell, what an exciting event.

Friday
What is Happening!!!!! Lay-on was the most exciting one ever! I wasn't being so useful so I lent my sword out to someone who could use it better. Ah, Celts!
Hanging out in the inn...making my first try at something wonderful.
Made my first meeting..."Welcome to my Sweat Lodge" Yay for being vocal.
Something wonderful turned into something regretful.
Information, you have some? No. You? No. You? No. Wow...
Taking friends to their places of rest and having a good convo with the wind.
OOO sleep.

Saturday
5:30 - Hookah party crashes sleep. Errr
Was told about a gathering in Drega'Mire from the night before, might as well go. 2 hours after said time of gathering, it begins. Belegchand talks, I listen. Adventure I hear!
The ever revolving door of the Low Level area... favorite was the Merc leader who got screwed by goblins. We kill the goblins and then get attacked by the Mercs we helped.
Houses in this part of town are very nice.
Feast of Yum!
Sleep...heat exhaustion plus lack of sleep = 1am
Everybody is drunk....let me go out alone to find the Count because Kyle has arrived.
"Menagerist" mod with Mercutio - Riding Pumpkin for the win or the spin drop into Serious. Some nice goodies.
Lowlight - The 2nd Floor bathroom
Having fun talking to people in the Inn...see a burst of movement to my left. Flip backwards off my bench, into a roll, and flee into my room. I had to listen to me friends get eaten with no way to help them. Poor Cre and Augustus...torso's on the floor.

Sunday
I seem to get all of my lessons on Sunday. Its been very amusing. Thanks to Tsoli, Carlotta, Moira, and Tobar.

P.S. Bacon Cake was to die for!

Game was awesome so much fun. GMs you rock. Everyone I can't say it enough everyone was so awesome. Thank you for putting up with my socially inept barbarian, don't hate me.

Friday night, Started game late so I missed the lay on. Came into game everyone thought I was some kind of evil. Right after I walked around the inn for a while I started to meet some really cool people. Met Bagwell and chit chatted about being a barbarian and what to expect in Travance. Then went on guard duty of the crazies with Sir Elizar of Pendarvin, which was an awesome time and Sir Elizar is a super cool guy (also I'm pretty sure he is Kevin Smith) Mother Remi sang us some songs the songs were great and her voice is freaking amazing. Hung out with Wolfgar at the Bloody Stump. Wolfgar was very cool and gave my friend and I his full attention and friendship. Went back to camp and while getting ready for bed at about 5 am got attacked by a crazy person.
Saturday: NPC shift, played a lizardkin which was fun but got completely rolled every time I fought. Then I was a crazy person tied to a tree near the gypsy camp, that was cool I still have the rope burns it was so fun though and I like rope burns. Went on the Aguara people fighting, my character was very scared and didn't want to go cuz he thought they would enslave him again, but Mother Remi helped me out and hooked me up when it was all done. Then met the Alisandria people and had a super great time with them. They said they have a bad reputation, but I don't see how such an awesome group could have a bad reputation. Then main mod Followed The most esteemed Warlord of Alisandria into battle and would do it again in a heart beat. Then the Thuder Lizard mod which was such a cool, fun, laugh of a time. It's hard to fight and laugh. Best use of a silence spell I have ever seen. I don't think it can be topped. (no offense to the person who got silenced).
Sunday had a good time just talking to people and trying to do something in the fight that morning.

Can't wait for the next game.

I have trained my young apprentice well I see.

I saw nothing but epic ness!
I herd nothing but the glory of people having fun!
I tasted nothing but tasty meals!

In short Fantastic across the board.

Dear everyone in Knight Realms,

We were up this weekend for our first event. It was a crazy fun ride. Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) was awesome to us. I got pulled into several adventures, interacted with a large number of the people present, had a fantastic time being a crazy crazy crazy NPC (and a not so crazy merchant NPC) learned a few things, got complemented on the garb I wore or helped make for others, slept some, drank lots of water and managed to come away with excellent memories, some good loot and a burning desire to return.

See you all next month!
