The return of Khorwyn Brey! Alas, I was very much not a fan of myself for this event. I think I blew about 85% of my verbals, could hardly hit anything with my arrows, and needed to get checked for not finishing my damage calls before swinging. But despite all of my own mistakes, I still really enjoyed the event, and so here are my favorite moments!
1. The woods mod on Friday night. Meeting the Crimson Razor, stalking up on the slaver camp, infiltrating them, and getting to do some spy work amid the blue flames and natural fog was awesome. Now if only I'd done the damn mod correctly. :/
2. All things Leaf. I love Eric's new character, and getting to reminisce about Khorwyn's old rogue self was great.
3. Normandy and Melimir! Two super cool new players who were totally repped like they'd been playing for 10 years. Glad you guys could bunk with us, and admired how you just jumped right into the game.
4. Dueling a Death Knight...with my bow. Thanks go to Dom for playing him, and to Frank as Huleen for finishing him off. That was a great fight, and totally worth the quiver of Serious Vorpal arrows I sank into him.
5. Role-playing with so many cool characters - Vox, Alto, Ulthoc, Ezri, the Crimson Razor, Nicole, Simon, Kita, Zat, Amy's little girl biata. It was a RP-heavy weekend, which was great!
6. Successful espionage, and assorted other failed attempts at it.
7. Henry's spectral...whatever. Hysterical!
8. Fighting Scott's undead gryphon rider. Yes, I do have three Cloak Gifts.
9. Surprising Garathon by drawing my swords before swearing fealty to him as my new Baron. And so what if I got a little choked up, okay?
10. The final battle - from the use of the ballista at the gate to fighting down through and back out of the woods again, the whole thing was challenging and fun. I'm so glad we got down there, and hope we get to use the woods again soon...(cough)...Ash Forest event...(cough)
Well, if I missed anything I'll try to post it again later. I look forward to seeing you all again next month!
