April Event

My highlights, in no particular order:

- One-on-one bardics lesson with the Baronness, and getting to hear her sing. It was like a personal gift! Also, having a heart-to-heart with her about trusting your gut versus keeping an open mind about people. This conversation was echoed again later with Mother Quinn, and a conclusion may have been reached.
- Interviewing people during market fair for the next alchohol article, and ducking under a table when things attacked. Once the threat was dealt with, popping back up and continuing on as if nothing had happened. No one seemed to be able to keep a straight face, for some reason…
- You don't get to pick your own nick name, Benjamin Buckle.
- Missing the fake eleven delegation, but getting to trail after the real one. Fabulous outfits & banners. Well done!
- Clyde using instill confidence over and over and over.
- Crazily accurate tarot reading from Carlotta - did you peek at my backstory, lady?!
- Going to the Pendarvin festival and watching the first two rounds of the tournament. Rooting for all my bar buddies! It was great seeing them in natural light for a change. Also, Pendarvino is the best.
- Coming back from main mod and finding out all of Alisandria could hear me/Ginny shrieking. So much for being brave. Doh.
- Sunday morning NPCing for over an hour roaming around the woods alone. Literally getting stuck in brambles while trying to escape and letting the scene proceed from there. Great RP with some newer citizens of Travance.
- Horn lessons! Bard lessons! Can't wait until May when I get to put the two together!

I did not realize that was you!

So I somehow ended up in Logistics or the Kitchen for a majority of the event. No Idea how that happened...

Being in the kitchen with Sam and gossiping! Then yelling at people who cooked before us that may or may not have cleaned up.

Witchwood Mod. I wish I could have watched as PCs went through the treasure balls... I mean they were covered in gross goo

My first Bounty! I put a 10 Gold Bounty out on someone for them to be brought ALIVE to me because they didn't clean a pot. I was amused at how many people failed this simple task. I'm looking at you brother of my best friends girlfriend!

Zafrin, putting out an offer I can't refuse.

Pie!

oh Strawberries Short Cake at the "YAY its not freezing anymore" Spring celebration.

Being told to join the crew of an awesome group of pirates because we put bacon on everything!

Augustus missed an interview about Alcohol? Sad times indeed...

I'm glad y'all liked my Andorran/Aguarran mod. (Wormyyy!) The face that Alex was giving me as I was painting flowers on his face was hysterical, and hearing about what happened when the NPC's came back was a treat. It's stuff like this that make me like being a Monster Marshall! : )

Lots of good things happened this event, too many to list! I look forward to seeing all of you next event, ta ta!

Argh, one day I will actually post these in a decent amount of time. Much delayed comments, go!

Anyways...Holy crap, one year anniversary! Has it been so long? Alternatively, how on earth has it only been a year?! Feels like I've been here forever...

Despite some medical problems Saturday, overall an excellent event.

Friday:
On the car ride up, witch hunter duck-duck-goose, courtesy of Geoff: "posi posi posi posi DISSIPATE!"

Going to the armory to get repairs done, and being 'queried' by Wormwood on why I would want to be a druid. And then denying him cheese crackers. Let it be known, my vengeance is swift and painful.

On the way back to the inn, running into Caelvan and Anhil escorting the new members of town around.

NPC:
Thank you to James Jones for being so understanding when I had to disappear for a while due to feeling rather ill.
-Wytchwood grapevine possessed people.
-Chaos warriors. Getting to give Orias a hug and then getting slain almost immediately after. Yes, Orias Wormwood fan club mod. That was a thing. That happened.

Saturday, laughing harder and longer than I have in a long time...I love all you people so much.

Learning inviolate form from Oren. Awesome druid spell is awesome.

Paige is apparently a practitioner of the arcane art of Knitcromancy.
aka...PLOOSHIES.
Sir Danny MacKreagor carrying around a plushie dragon in his belt pouch all day.

Loaning my giant black cloak to a cold Aquene. Who then attempts to sunbathe. While emulating a drow.

SPECIAL SNOWFLAKES. Ensuing giant blizzard.
Hearing more about the story of VIM from Lady Elawyn, and then utter hilarious nonsense.
Aleister's continuing Londwynian gadgetry bias: "With sorcery, I can summon your science!"
Peanut butter and salsa.

Steve's foolproof solution to dragon sword plot.

Springtide! Pound cake and strawberries, om nom nom!

Tiny dwarven catapults, courtesy of the Grumbleguts.

Throwing my shield down in frustration at something. Having it promptly grabbed by Magnus. Grabbing his coffee in retaliation, and actually making it more than 10 feet. Before quickly giving in to avoid his wrath.

Selendrian delegation...I'll say it again, that was beautifully done. Those costumes...

Puppet!Magnus apparently has it in for the knight captain.

Lord Brightstar and the cup of chicken.

Being asked by Sir Cinder what it means to be a cavalier and apparently giving a satisfactory answer.

FOXAWYN. All the squee. Most adorable thing ever. Seeing Elawyn so happy was a delight, as well.

Having a random player come up to Magnus with Maelstrom, saying he found it lying on the path. Cue the captain and I exchanging looks of "oh, crap." Thanks for the scare, Jen!

The return of Carlos...tarot readings that never fail to surprise both Annora and Karen with their bluntness and accuracy.

Becoming Lord Aleister's new squire!

Quoth Lord Aleister: "How do I druid?" Impromptu lesson from Sir Danny, Caelvan, and myself.

Sunday:
Lazy shenanigans outside the inn, singing from Croi, fun rp.

Orias Wormwood driving off into the sunset on his steel chariot.
