Camp Cutter Weekend Event - March 29-31 2013

High Lord Angana frowned faintly as she studied the emergent composition before her. It wasn’t turning out at all how she had envisioned it; disturbances always interfered with her creative moments. The report from her incompetent underling had been entirely unsatisfying, full of excuses and demands for assistance, yet not entirely unexpected. If only he weren't so well connected she might be rid of him; but he was, and she was stuck with him. Nonetheless, there was valuable information contained within the retelling of his miserable failure though she doubted he realized it.

They’ll have to make a move now, and we’d better have the means in place to counter.

Lashing out with a flurry of violent strokes in an attempt to salvage the piece, she began to alter her work. The means to counter, indeed. Though this would be just the opening salvo in a grand conflict, they couldn’t be allowed to gain a foothold in the contested areas, else they’d have a lasting advantage over her. Furthermore, a skirmish now would provide an excellent opportunity to test the waters of her recent accord.

Test the waters? The others may yet accuse you of having a sense of humor.

Still, Angana hadn’t gotten where she was by taking unnecessary risks. Though there would have to be a force ready to handle the situation, she wasn’t quite prepared to commit the greater part of her own troops; the scenario had yet to even begin to play itself out. Best instead if she could hold her armies in reserve until a critical moment, engaging only when she stood to gain as much as possible.

I think I’d better pay Neyen a visit. It’s high time that snivelling sycophant pulled a bit of weight around here.

Sighing, the high lord cast a critical eye over the confused hodgepodge her current project had become. It was clear to her that there would be no saving this one; the latest distraction had proven to be disastrous, inflicting a mortal wound upon the muse of the moment. She cast the ruined work of art into the fire, where it began to writhe and cry out as it burned. Angana listened intently, enraptured as always by the music of destruction. When the last pitiful notes had subsided into whimpers, and then silence, she allowed the flames to intensify and incinerate the remains. It was time to start again.

Mortals- and with such excellent timing, too; I hear they make the most amazing canvas...

Current Incomplete Pre-registrations:


Please see Logistics and You for more information on what is required to complete your pre-registration and remember that you will need to bring all related tags to logistics, or logistics will not be able to check you in. This includes magic item tags, spell and production books, and workshop tags. Any magic items being brought to game not pre-registered or checked in at your first logistics of the weekend will not be able to be used for that weekend.

When you arrive:
When you arrive on site please go directly to logistics to check in before unloading and setting up. We will not be having opening ceremonies this weekend; you will be in game as soon as you are checked in and in costume. Any relevant pre-game information will be distributed with your check-in packet.

Food:
Our meal plan for PCs costs $20 for the weekend. You MUST pre-register in order to buy into the meal plan. The pre-registration interface has an option to both be included and let us know about any dietary restrictions. There is an additional cost of 2 silver per meal in game to the kitchen staff (and if you can't pay that, talk to them about helping out in the kitchen.) Water will be available to everyone for free at all times. Other drinks may be available for a small in game charge. We really need Cast/Crew to pre-register for the event as well so that we can estimate food needs; in the event we run short Cast/Crew that pre-register will be fed before those who do not. The menu for the weekend is as follows:

Friday Night
Minced Chicken and Corn egg-drop soup with steamed rice.
(Chicken, corn, chicken broth, corn starch, egg, ginger, rice)

Saturday Morning
Pancakes (Blueberry or chocolate chip)
Scrambled eggs
Bacon
Orange Juice

Saturday Daytime snacks

Sleeping Arrangements
Like last event, sleeping arrangements for this weekend will be different than usual. We have four eight-bed cabins available for PC use. To request a cabin please email asf@maddjinn.com. Priority will be given to groups and to out-of-state visitors without other sleeping arrangements. If you are requesting a cabin for a group please have everyone in your group preregister before submitting your request. Due to the limited sleeping space for this weekend we will be filling any unclaimed beds Friday night on a first-come, first-served basis.

If the cabins fill up or if you prefer to sleep elsewhere, there will be campsites and perma-tents available. In the case of camping-unfriendly weather we may open up additional beds, but do not plan on it. Remember to bring extra bedding if you are using the perma-tents; the cots are comfortable but not particularly insulating.

Hey guys, prereg ends tomorrow night. The current prereg list is updated as of this post (11:00 pm 3/21) so if you sent in a prereg and it's not on the list please let me know.

If you haven't prereged and you're coming to the event, you should prereg. It's a thing.
 
A note from your friendly tavern staff:

This weekend the makeshift, partially roofed "Tavern" will be offering drinks for sale to those who bring their own bottles and cups.

There will be ice cold water.

There will be frosty lemonade.

There will be a punch made from the tears of an elemental drowned in a vat of red and purple berries.

If you have your own bottle, mug, cup, horn or other drinking device the water is always free, and the other drinks are free with a meal from the tavern.

If you do not have your own bottle, mug, cup, horn or other drinking device the tavern may have a few on hand for a silver a piece.


-------------------------------


We're trying to cut down on a lot of the wasted water and bottles that get left all over the camp during the weekend. We will have giant coolers filled with ice water for people to refill bottles from in the lodge, as well as coolers of lemonade and punch to drink. If you have a reusable water bottle, or tankard or canteen please bring it.
