Event Favorites, August Event

Fynwei

Squire
First off, I would like to thank everyone (PCs and NPCs) for stepping up their In-Game-Roleplay and for making OOG stuff much less prevalent. I had a blast this weekend.

My event favorites are:
1: Undead skeleton beauty (and function) competition. ("That's why we got adventurers, because they kill undead for money!" & Gypsy Lich 1 "Earth Blades!" Gypsy Lich 2 "Oh ****, run!)
2: Fortune telling at Inspiration Point during the lightning storm. ("How do we defeat the Corrupt" followed by "I would like to know what is to come of my love life"
3: Lightning vamp meeting. (monologue on the oncoming storm, weather working perfectly to fit with plot)
4: Hallucinogenic frog cave ("Use the mushrooms as helmets, then the frogs can't read your mind!")
5: Stone elf in love
 
Thank you PCs and NPCs! I had an utterly fantastic event, and it wouldn't have worked without you all! Here are some favorites:

1. Having significant importance in much of the event's plot. :D
2. Meeting, giving myself up to, and being bitten by the Lightning Forsaken (which was only made awesomer by the perfect weather).
3. Detecting the presence and location of the Flame Forsaken, as well as the events that occurred upon finding him.
4. "It's a NINE!" "It's a SIX!" "Wait... now it's a FIVE!" "No, it's an 'S'!"...... "It's a rain drop!" "It's a tear drop!" "It's an undead face!" (scratches facial features onto shape in the dirt).
5. Being held in custody for my own and the town's safety, spending at least 5 conscious hours in the kitchen prison, heckling those in the tavern and repeatedly asking "You wouldn't happen to have a Dispel in memory or on a scroll, would you?".
6. Hunting and finally killing the werewolf that caused me to resurrect for the first time.
7. NPCing for the arguing Liches and Frog mods instead of being Gandian, just sitting trapped in the wizard lock.
8. All of the stuff involving Alexander, especially the creation of the Gate to the Giant's Walk with Leopold.
9. Being transferred to the barn, where I shall spend the next several weeks.
10. Being invested in the Celestial Circle.

I look forward to the consequences of Gandian's condition and position, especially the severe talking-to I will no doubt receive from Kovu and Fern.
 
Hopefully in chronological order
1. Lok's wail in agony as he suicide in the woods then getting to bring him back
2. Healing Harlequin and bringing him to the "safety" of the tavern, then resurrecting him
3. Painting in front of the tavern and somehow hearing the whole plot with out trying, later sharing that knowledge with everyone and teaching a barbarian to paint better than Gorka with one lesson.
4. Guba! Thank you to everyone who helped and listen to gorka about her lost friend, yes it was Gorka's dolly and not a real person.
5. Cracking a stone elf when he met Guba
6. Gorka's duel sided relationship with Stony
7. The pre-Traveler's staff stuff, Physiology, singing, Dancing, The kolbolt teaching barbarian and Harlequin how to dance, Harlequin getting lectured
8. Insulting Gaindian cus he was being a jerk to Gorka, Standing her ground and keeping cool ask Gaindian Threatened her with a sword to her throat.
9. Lighting cave- Barbarions' hesitation, the beautiful dialog, having a spell shield, the Embrace. Requesting Gaindian be able to say good-bye and somehow the person who Gaindian hatted most ended up having the most touching moment with him, good line up with the weather.
10. The Teaching tree, Later finding the teaching tree in the earth circle. While the Dryed was in town.
11. All the Resurrections, Thank you Crow for allowing me to help.
12. Trying to track a most talented werewolf
13. Laundry Golum man and Leopold creating the portal and miss placing it
14. "you made a 6" "Why did you make a 9" a simple mod that grew to epic perportions.
15. Mushroom Cave- Playing leap frog and almost causing the death of a pc because of it.
 
In no particular order (except the first one):
- Getting accepted into the Celestial Guild! (Even though Allendra pretty much got her butt kicked during the trial - fun trial btw!)
- The awesome lightning storm during the Giant's Walk Mod and the Fortune Telling Mod (loved how the fortune telling module added to my backstory)

- Murk the Kobold dancing with Harlequinn - and then getting lectured by Aidus
- Conspiring with Emilylnn, Emma, and Peter to make Stone Elf love happen XD ("You have improved upon my drink Talitha, I did not know such a thing could be done! Can you cook?" - "I can't cook." - "All you must do is do whatever you did to that drink (aka sharing it with him)."
- Everyone being extremely confused about the dichotomy of Allendra's and Davian's interactions
- The hallucinogenic cave - Trying to capture a pet frog while he was still fighting other people, Frog "Foil" hats, Alexander's jumping NPC (sounds included!), trying to take "butterflies" from Stephen's Stone Golem while it tried to fend us off with cures, and being Cho-Ko-Nu's husband and him being my wife :)
- Getting a giant migraine and getting to watch the Kobold's come and save the day from the back end of the module :) - Oh and Dave never getting to kill me >:)
- "What is your response to that Dave?" - "Ow?"
- Allendra getting a little feisty and always threatening to kill people who insinuated she was a typical perverted MWE while at the same time getting mad if they said she was not a typical MWE
- Trying to win staring contests with Stone Elves
- My costuming finally coming together
- Pretty much anything to do with Alexander (The cloth golem)
- Leopold trying to teach Tier 6 Celestial Magic to Crow, drunk

Favorite things....

3. Undead Lychics arguing about how to make the best undead soldier
4. lightning
5. Holdem between Mods
6. Accidently hitting a PC for 3 because I thought her pet butterfly was EVIL
 
Favs:

- Flirting with the Stone Elf who smiles and trying to make him dance with me. (With Murk's assistance in dance instruction. :p)
- Arguing with Auedis about emotions after he pulled Harlequin away.
- Later paying two gold for a Love Potion #9 and giving it to Harlequin after the other conspirers convinced him it was some strange ingested variety of vorpal coating. (The only backfire was that I was nearly killed a couple of times because of Harlequin trying to defend me and essentially getting in the way of my battle tactics -- but even that was funny, because of the next thing on the list -- and the only disappointment came from not being able to RP with a potentially-could've-been-angry Auedis, because he hadn't stuck around long enough.)
- The undead, or whatever they were, that came around knocking people down to inspect them. I was knocked down, then healed, Harlequin started going at them, and while I was trying to stand, split them all up, and figure out what was going on, I was knocked out again. It was all very ridiculous.
- The fortune teller mod. I could tell I was so close to finding Hengin, but I couldn't think of how/what else to ask! It was and is really frustrating. The whole thing was even cooler with the lightning going on. (And apparently the cards were actually pretty accurate! Mildly spooky.)
- The weather aligning with other plot happenings.
- The mod with the mist people and the staff stuck in the ground. I don't know/remember exactly where we went or why we were there, but I felt really useful again as a rogue during that mod. The kobolds running in to the rescue was awesome (and a releif, considering that I didn't know what they were at the point when they came running in -- I thought they might have been something else coming to attack us).
- The misplaced portal made by Alexander and a drunk Leopold.
- A golum with a note leading us on a trippy mushroom excursion.
- Being one of like two people who could waylay, and frequently being asked to use that skill. Ha ha.
- All the Gypsy NPCs! I missed out on the Gypsy liches, sadly, but there were also the fortune tellers and the Gypsies who were looking for silver frogs.
- Neither of my weapons were shattered this time! Thank you!! (I suffered the loss of at least five swords in the previous two events.)

This was really a great event! I didn't do quite as much serious fighting this time as I did last event, but I think I really have improved as an RPer. Thank you everyone involved! I really look forward to our next encounter! :D
 
I had an offensive amount of fun this weekend. I agree that everyone did very well and stepped up their game a bit on keeping everything in game and in character. Here are some of my favorites:

- The weather. While a bit warm, it was still beautiful. I felt like weather went along perfectly.
- Being a part of the first Vampire encounter... and surviving!
- Exploring the woods with many different characters.
- Tracking werewolves.
- Guarding "Len" from afar, perhaps not known to her!
- Hillshire Farmers!
- Excellent role playing to avert crisis when getting Guba back.
- Exploring the woods with a Stone Elf and Gypsy... for apparently no reason.
- Aidus' wisdom and lawyer skill!

Thank you a ton NPCs, the amount of appreciation and respect knows no bounds! I can't wait to see you all in October.
 
We'll have you figure it out in character next time around ;).
 
Oh I forgot about being the teaching aid for 9th level earth magic. "Do you trust me?" "yes" "I grant you the gift of death!"

Brent does great role play with his teaching.
 
In no particular order:

Learning 9th circle Earth at the Earth Guild
Apparently having a great deal of effect on the Arguing Litches mod even though I just woke up enough to borrow out an Earth Blade magic item.
Watching Gorka and the female barbarian sword dance.
Watching people try to teach Harlequin how to dance.
Gorka's gift. Thank you!

- killing blow to one misty boss while getting spirit shattered by the other! Epic.
- Being the only one waylayed in the middle of a big battle. I was so confused, I was expecting something more painful. XD

My fav's in no particular order:

- Going along with Lok and nearly getting roasted by the guy he was meeting.
- Keeping the squirrels from being eaten by the spider.
- Sat. Noon Sammies (lunch) by the farmers.
- The weather enhancing the plot.
- The balance golum, "get on his white side".
- Finding out about Guba!
- Auedis's Lawyering during the trial!
- Gorka and the young lady barbarian dancing while Auedis drummed.
- All things Gandian, particularly trying to calm him down.
- Actually dodging the shatter spirit when Stephen came barreling through the rear guard causing the person I was refitting to bolt like a rabbit leaving me going "What the?!?" for a few seconds in confusion until I spotted Stephen.
- Merk getting mistaken for a hostile, "Does my skin look brown to you?!?"
- The Werewolf hunt with Gandian, Crow, Auedis and others. Particularly when the lightening lit up things just right, first the werewolf was down the path from me fighting Auedis & Gandian then in the next flash, he was right beside me calling "6 normal"!!
- <Whack!>"Ow! What did you do that for?" "Good Morning?"
 
Oh ya, Dave coming into NPC camp Saturday morning. "Ok guys, wake up..." no response, grabs a weapon off the table. "Spell strike Awaken!"
 
Well my first event and I would like to state I loved it, my only wishes is that it was cooler during the day so that we didn't have to de-armor and that more events could have happened mid day. That being said - be prepared for big list.

1. Obviously; love potion - very challenging and modified many of the events afterwords (perfect undead and shroom caves)
2. Murks character, buying my first boggle tooth, dancing, to trying to eat arrows from a fail packet thrower Allandra, to (oog in head) morning his death.
3. The staff event, getting to carry players and kobolds around and get them back into the fight; along with distracting on my lonesome one of the big guys to be rescued by Talitha's 6 normal frenzy from behind it, all to get Roven back to healers from a failed flank.
4. Gorka's Resurrection stories
5. Being informed that my reaction to Web effect was inaccurate.
6. Teague as a player building up a small hatred for the prickly stickers, the most annoying natural trap yet.
7. The practice tree NPC - His lack of labeled back for backstabbing, his death, his perm :( which now leads me to believe that the tree that remains is undead. We should have checked that npc's card for killing blow active >.> but alas it is to late.
8. THE HAMMER?! Thanks Tim for making me an awesome hammer. Sorry to Dave for landing an overly effective overhead blow :/
9. Staying up late with the youngin's to achieve '1 slept'
10. Getting to give the squirrels nut trail mix
11. The after game lunch getting to hear from the NPC's
12. The non combat Mods ^_^ Fotune Telling, Silver Frog hunting, Gorka's Guba, Heart of the First Forest
13. Lady Greys newbi escort :) Please do again
