Favorite things!!!

Ok so I have a snowday.. and.. we need one of these! So what were some of your favorite things about the January event???

To be honest.. I loved the whole thing.. from the first time Jack and Jaena came into character and sat outside scoping out the tavern for Vanyel till the final bell rang. It was just great. It was my first time playing this character and he got involved in so much. Partly because of being with Vanyel but then it lead to even more.. it was awsome.

As stated at the end, there wasnt a really huge wave battle but there was still so much going on.

The tent mod was great. There was always something to do if you got bored and all you needed was Holly and 1 NPC!

One of the funnest moments was running Elaina out the back of the tavern during breakfast.. "but i want my breakfast.." We barely made it to the meadow before I got my butt handed to me by Conrad and Kelly =)

Sunday night was great.. in quite a few ways.. but one ill share is the "identifying" of the meteor/cannon ball.

Jack&Shay are half asleep on the bed as we hear Kerjal say something about uh.. enlargements and.. enhancements.. I don't think I have to say anything else..

And

Kerjal(I believe):I stick my finger in the hole.
Steph:You feel oddly aroused.

And then probably my most favorite part of the event was Monday morning.

Krieger:Break her heart and ill break you..
Jack:Fair enough...
 
Favorite things, eh? Hmmm... I think I might have a few.

1) Kobold Confusion
Kobold: Do you know where we can get 15 gold?
Alavatar: I'm sure minotaurs have some gold.
Kobold: What's a minotaur?
Alavatar: Think half-human, half-cow.
Kobold: Can we milk it?
Alavatar: Uhm... Sure.
Kobold: Ok. I'm going to go milk cows for 15 gold.

2) Polare Happy Dance

3) Dancing hat, originally displayed by Nye and eventually purchased by Theebee (sp?)

4) Shae (Shay?) message
Shae: If you see Kreiger, can you tell him I'm sleeping in the Celestial Guild?
Alavatar: Sure.
(Next morning - encounter Kreiger... after Kreiger found about Shae and Jack)
Kreiger: Bad Alavatar. No cookie for you.

5) My first ritual casting, followed up by the flaw 'Target only usable by elves'. Giving the 'target' a hard time for some time afterwards was a lot of fun.

6) The love effects of the card battle. Everyone's RP made me laugh inside. :)

7) The elven outpost fun. Especially finding a couple bottles of wine. (Yay!) The first room was definately the hardest and I am glad it got toned down a bit for the rest of the run. And the riddle at the end was (in my humble opinion) the best part.

8) Hearing the exploits of Jonathan Hawks, Basil (sp? Racoon Scavenger), and Khurguard (I think) take down the butterflies. It really made me proud of them.

9) Midge's Shop and all of it's wonders! And her fantastic ability to haggle.

10) Pearl/Not-Pearl/Faydra's return! Welcome back!

11) The snowmen coming to life was awesome! That was a lot of fun, Holly!

12) Drinking while counting money. :) (I still don't understand why people laughed when I told Avaran to pick it up.)

I may think of others later, but I am still at work and should actually do something constructive.
 
One more kind of funny one..

Jack and Teth(sp?) are walking around with winter because of the masks and the thing with cold snap ect.

Jack:Is there anyway you could help us? Or at least an idea of how to make subduing them easier?
*Winter hands Jack(the rogue) 6 sleep scrolls*
Winter:Those should help you.
Jack:I.. cant.. use.. these...
 
During the troll wave battle Sunday morning:

Playing an Ice Troll, getting killed as that troll, then listening as Kreiger discribed ripping me into a bunch of troll bits and a puddle of blood.

Playing the cards was quite enjoyable.

Eating ingame as the farmer was quite fun.

Saturday night on the Estate mod after being taken down while the PC were making their getaway after capturing Bond.
Krieger: First aid him as we go
Me:(OOG) I'm Pretty sure you can't first aid someone while moving
Marshal confirmed the rule
Krieger: OK, Force feed 1..2..3..Amnesia. sometimes deaths are required in the security of the state have nice day
Then he drops me.
 
Fighting the evil den of the Red Butterflies was pretty awsome.

Taking a long walk back and talking about people of title and Hawks's thoughts on what a title is good for.

Working out buisness deals with Midge and Nye.

Throwing the dreaded meat cleaver and the butterknife around.

Getting handed a glass of wine then thinking for a second before drinking from it putting it down and picking another one up. (It pays to be paranoid some times.)

The card battle.

Last but not least being able to say that I fought with evil butterflies came home and then fought with a deck of cards.
 
In no particular oder:

1) The Mission™. Pure. Stealth. Goodness. Solomon would have been proud, though it was far too cold to get naked, so I'm sure he wouldn't have even bothered going...

2) Polare's Antics™

3) Agreeing, for some reason, to aid the Tattoo man. Avaran still has NO IDEA what the heck he got himself into...and neither do I. =D

4) Midge's Shop of Wonders -- She should have been a Hobling...

5) Being sent to the Military Officer's Training school in Silverford for 3 months, along with all of the other cool stuff that happened as a result of The Mission™.

6) Alavatar's drinking shinanigans...

7) The game of Hobling Hold'em...

8) Oh! The horrific puns during and after The Card fight...

Ah...so much stuff, it's hard to remember it all. A huge thanks to the NPC's and staff for making things work (and suffering the cold).
 
Selling the perfect items to the perfect people: Kisuni’s Boots, Nockiya’s shall, Vaniel’s sexy sexy lady-killing vest, etc...

Casting death spells thanks to my magic apple! The power! THE POWER!

Alavatar and his constant drinking. Midge was there years ago, at the Event where Mikel cursed him to drink with everything he said and did, and since then, every time she sees him, Midge has noticed his slow descent into alcoholism. Something about that really cracks me up.

Waking up on Sunday morning to the sound of Alavatar and Nye ranting about Investiture Scrolls: how it takes YEARS to get them even though they are cheap to make and should be common, and how the lack of them screws up the Guild dynamics, and how the scrolls should be supplied by the Main Guilds in the capital, blah, blah, blah, until Midge finally hopped out of bed, glued her nose on, marched to the other side of town, and managed to obtain 4 investiture scrolls within an hour. The ironic thing is that after all that trouble, Midge ended up getting amnesia-ed right after selling the scrolls and will never remember one of the great business endeavors of her life. **sigh** Oh well.

The deck-o-cards battle, and the love triangle I was involved in afterwards: Other Raccoon loved to Midge -> Midge loved to Alavatar. This was a very profitable ten minutes for Alavatar, and it made me weep inside to sell that Formal Scroll for such low price.

Checking out the ferret hole home and buying beautiful trinkets from Thebe, which ALL sold within a day. Among those trinkets was the newt-like dragon that Shikar bought--it was so cute how kept coming back to the booth to eye it, like a kid in a candy store, until he finally bought it and took it home.

The late night business meeting in the Celestial Circle on Sunday night with Alavatar, Nye, and Captian Jonathon Hawks. It was my first experience with the hardcore business-investment-political side of the game, and surprisingly, it was actually fun.

The strange unfolding progression of Polare’s love life through the weekend.

Watching all those people get noble titles. It was a moving ceremony, and it was cool to see the adventurers get recognized by the town leadership for once. The wedding party was also very nice!

Also, the rather scandalous story Polare told me in the backroom about what he’d done using the bobcat fur he’d bought from me the night before. And then later, I alluded to this story while trying to sell another piece of the fur, and included some rather, um, degrading comments about Polare’s character. Then I turned my head to see that Polare was sitting right next to me, and I had been so engrossed with the sale I hadn’t even noticed! So embarrassing! I’m glad I had full-face makeup, cuz my face turned so red!

My cool cabin mates, and nerding-out with them during down time.

Holly’s crazy-cool house mod. Then selling the cup that I got from it for 7 more gold than it was worth. Hee hee. Poor Teft.

Hanging out with all the cool PCs. Your guys' RP was great, and I enjoyed every last sale I made.



That’s all I can think of right now. Anyway, it was a great last game.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE STAFF AND THE PLAYERS!!
 
Firstly coming back to NERO would be the highlight of well the new year the weekend and the month, but as for things in the event in no order.

NPCing on the Tent mod, as well as helping set it up.

Getting to swing not only massive but 90 massive slay and massive eviserates...nice to see fear in a PCs eyes once in a while.

Getting to play an NPC that had a set mission and was aloud to do it anyway I wanted, however I ended up in jail.

Three kobold brothers.

Cruncher ran at the tavern was told to look for shinys elsewhere
Crunchling Ran at the tavern decided that Crunchling must not have taken all the shinys from such a big place laid siege to the taven got destroyed by a butter knife (nice job hawks)
Cruncher Came back after noticing he was tricked saw his dead brother charged in and got destroyed
Crunchist Running at the tavern " My name is Cruchist, you killed my brothers, prepare to die active slay" "30 slay" "magic armor" "4 normal" *death*

oh making fun of the NPC i was playing...perhaps the worlds stupidist guards..

Cards of love...the 7 of hearts really just loved you all..

Dancing Ice elemental, I enjoyed the dancing..to bad Polar thinks dancing ice elementals need to be melted.

sure i'll think of more but for now thats good.
 
I don't HAVE to be naked for running pitched battles, I just LIKE to be. Sheesh, like I'd miss out on showing you non-hoblings how to really fight just cause I had to keep my pants on.

Oh, it wasn't a pitched battle, it was a stealth mission in the snow, and I figure you would have wanted to blend in more is all...*cough* ... you know, had you been there. :(

:eek: :eek:
 
Oh that does it. My revenge shall be neither swift nor subtle, but is shall be memorable. Be assured.
 
Seeing you without pants on is revenge enough, and that sure isn't subtle. :D :D :D

Knowing you, it'd involved a cursed item of some sort that would spell my doom. :eek:

Slow descent? I wouldn't call it that... more of a quick ascension to POWER! Everyone knows Alavatar aims better when he's drunk. :) And some of you can attest to his aim when he's sober, so his drunken casting is something to be feared!

And the card game (hobling hold'em) where Avaran started with about a silver then won almost a gold in his first hand was awesome.
 
I also did forget to mention that it was really awsome that we had IG NPC's eating as scam artist sheperds from the local farms. That was just awsome. Having the NPC's IG while they were eating added to the game it made it so there were less white headbands in the tavern. It made it easyer to stay in character and interact with people.
