1. Post your favorite moments
I had a -lot- this weekend, it really snuck up on me but this was by far my favorite weekend event to date. From the vast amounts of roleplay that both the PCs and NPCs offered, to the use of the candle puzzles to dictate the hectic pace of Saturday, even to the KV fight where the shield wall had to start using our brains and figuring out how to damage the creatures we were fighting; everything this weekend was amazing and perfect and I can't wait to see what's in store next month.
Also I loved being able to take some of the character progression I had established at nationals and bring it to our game. Roleplaying a 200 year old character means roleplaying what he believes he's learned in that amount of time and what he considers wisdom, which lead to some great (albeit frightening) roleplay situations. I actually had a lot of trouble sleeping on Saturday night because of all the scenarios that were running through my head about how to act accordingly on Sunday.
I met a unicorn! O.O
This was a really big moment in Siegart's life and it didn't disappoint, he's a man of many craftsmen however his highest ranked is his fae lore and the roleplay that this experience yielded was impeccable. Considering she was able to help Sarryn with his 'tattoo' I don't think it's going to be the last we see of her.
Huzzah the wicked witch is dead and burned! I remember my very very first event 4 summers ago KV wasn't there in person but she was an etheral being that flitted from one person to the next, whispering horrible nothings into their ears and I thought, "Holy guacamole, this larp knows how to make a villain" and I'm glad to see how that conflict ended.
....even if it was our second try
2. Post your less favorite moments (if we don't know, we can not fix)
I think this is a personal folly, but trying to figure out moral win scenarios for a lot of those fairy tales was daunting, and a few of them seemed absolutely impossible. I'm sure I just misheard or forgot some of the information but I felt like we collectively couldn't think through some of them when we put our heads together.
3. What you would like to see more of
Intuitive fighting like the KV fight, this monster has a reverse threshold while this one is taking damage from magic, but that other one is only taking damage from silver. I love having to use my noggin in fights like this. At Nationals they had one fight where the monster would alternate, hit him with normal and he'd take it and then be immune, it took a considerable amount of time to think that one through and it was awesome.
More of the ingenious mods like the candle mod. I thought it was an interesting and harrowing way to fill any and all downtime that we would have had on Saturday. During a normal event I would have more then one opportunity to say, "Hey not much is going on, want to head on a patrol?", this event was the complete opposite. Worrying about whether or not we were about to lose another candle kept us all on our toes and made for some rather interesting roleplay.
4. Give us a moment from the perspective of your character
The backdoor to the tavern burst open and Cevil was at a near run to the closest table as he started turning out his pockets muttering, "Where is it... where is it?" under his breath.
Still furious with the mortals at the fire Siegart cocked an eyebrow and looked up from his coffee, "Something wrong?" he exclaimed in the bards direction.
"I can't find find my restore potion."
Siegart scoffed derisively thinking to himself, 'oh how wonderful, they've actually cut the girl up and now they can't even heal her'.
"So you've gone and cut her up then?" Siegart asked coldly.
"Nope, we haven't yet but don't worry, Stig is going to be the one doing the cutting."
The squeak of the chair was the only response afforded the last comment as Siegart stood up and began storming out of the tavern, his thoughts a swirling vortex of contempt for these morally corrupt mortals. If their wish was truly to become as dark and evil as Kara Vale they were certainly well on their way, however before that happened they would get an earful of a thoroughly disappointed Tari Nor.
