Normally I'd have a nice big list in my head and put up the stuff that really stands out to me. But this wasn't that kind of event for me. This event meant a lot to me both for Dave the player, and Kantil the character. I absolutely adored every moment of the entire event from the second I parked the truck to the second I left the site. The entire staff does an absolutely amazing job of... everything. Absolutely everything. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for putting on my favorite event in my short LARPing career.
The big list of awesome still floats in my mind though...
--- Thank you NPCs! For all the awesome fighting and roleplay and amazing-ness on both sides of the fence!
--- Thank you PCs! See above ^_^
--- Brandr and I touching sword tips in the chest cavity of the sassiest Liche ever...
--- Chaos Elementals! Ugh, stealing my hat.
--- Penhawe's Gift! I felt so amazing! Banshee-Slayer! Lich Spell Eater! Not dead guy!
--- "Tell your girlfriend TO WARN ME NEXT TIME SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!"
--- Brandr and I seeing the opening to the Doctor...and proceeding to beat him senseless. Also, take the hat.
--- Tripping with the Wild Elves. From the strawberry fields to dragon-jousting to dancing around and singing our asses off.
--- Undead kitties in heat.
--- Plane of Death! What a happy place!
--- Susie's tortured girl and Collin's Dark Elf who was trapped in the web. ALL OF THE FEELS.
--- Penhawe calling me back. Actual tears were running down my face that the mask covered.
... and so on, until I end up covering every single thing from the weekend. I'll see everyone in November!

My favorites? Oh, of course.
Hans. He is the best. Ever.
Oh, and attempting to nab the skull by myself was pretty hilarious too, but hey! I kept that plot going, right?
Besides that, I have to say, Mal (Sam) is proooobably my favorite thing in Barran. I say "thing" and not "person" because Zara isn't sure what he reeeaally is. Hallucinating weather vane, go!

I haven't wanted to post favorites because I didn't want to seem to toot my own horn. But this event had such awesome moments because of our amazing PC's and NPC's, I had to share.
- Mal...holy crap Sam, I love your roleplay
- Bringing Kantil back. Luckily I was already losing my voice or you would have been able to hear my voice break when Penhawe called him back.
- undead puppies, kitties, and bunnies for Dead walk
- dancing and drumming in the mess hall
- vampiric butterflies = murderflies (more specifically my Npc's and my adorable staff as murderflies)
- my NPCs being excited to play anything I give them...even when it involves glitter
- Thank you PCs for making me have to think on the fly. You're awesome!
- yummy Food! Thanks food committee!
- Bad Touch Goblin tribe. That is all I can say...cant wait until the PCs see them AGAIN!!
I'm so excited for November and the years to come with such awesome people and hopefully lots of amazing rp and plot moments.

Any way...
NPC thank you for bringing this game to life for us!
-Adventuer tether ball games....yup....
- Bugbear vs Adventurer basket ball....lmao
- The mod that we went one to get the artifact to bring back Kantil! So much fun.
- Kantil ....... nuff said
- The tavern fire. Sorry it was so smoky. I think that chimney needs some massive cleaning....just saying.
- Flameing Lich!!!! OMG all I wanted to do was go pee and pass out. Instead I ran across camp alone to get help. It was still pretty fun.
- All things Mike, Cole, Susie, and Collin. You guys were wonderful.
- Bad touch goblins. Poor Eitiri had no idea what to do with them. Mike with his sexually confused goblin. " You're both!" *gropes self* "I am!!!!!" Lmao!!!
All in all this was an amazing weekend. I'm still out of it and I'm sure there is more I'm forgetting.
I had a great time this weekend, both in camp and out

As always, first and foremost… THANK YOU NPCS. You guys made the weekend what it was. From bad touch goblins to undead puppies and kitties to Elosdi. You guys rock and I love each and every one of you for bringing everything that you do into every game.
Sam’s Locust. All weekend, Sam’s Locust. There were so many moment that I know I can’t begin to describe all of them. The one I’ve used thus far to explain the relationship:
Kabuk wanders over to the Celestial circle during the middle of a battle, the adventurers are running around outside, Mal is standing in the circle. When he gets within earshot, Kabuk can hear Mal speaking with some unseen character. The conversation sounds friendly. Kabuk settles next to Mal and gazes out the window. Mal stops his conversation mid-sentence and looks at Kabuk, “Did you need anything?”
Kabuk smiles, “I didn’t mean to interrupt. Please, carry on.”
“Oh, we were just wrapping up.”
Aside from that, running around with the wild elves was a blast, from the woods to the fire pit. Leona had her own vocal experiences at the fire pit while Kabuk had his quietly and without ado.
The rutting goblins were a blast. It was very difficult to walk calmly around a corner when I knew there were half a dozen goblins attempting to run me down.
Zara earned so much respect from Kabuk. There were a lot of small moments between them where she said something that impressed him.
One of the earlier moments that solidified who Kabuk was as a character was a conversation with Swift Eagle about responsibilities and dedication. We both had different views on the subject. Thanks Patrick for that moment.
Watching the Wild Elves trip their tails off in the tavern. Emily’s eventual sobering up and… “I need an amnesia potion.” Quick look around the room, “…I need twenty amnesia potions.”
Watching Kantil come back to the game. As a PC, I had nothing at all to do with it, but it was still a great sight to be seen. I can’t always predict what Noot’s going to do, but he’s probably going to hit Kantil for dying.
Susie Lee’s frantic Miner.
Sam pointed out that we’re apparently assembling the Firefly crew. We have Mal and Buk (Book) now. Anyone want to be a Zoe?
There are a bajillion more things I should post here, but I have the swiss cheese memory of Sam Beckett. I'm sure they'll return to me.
Editted to add: Learning that my sleeping bag helped save lives. It helps to be a wuss when it comes to the cold, sometimes, apparently.

Whew... What an awesome event!
NPC's and Staff, thank you so much for all of the effort and love that you guys put into this event, it really made it a very special experience for me.
Sunday morning hallucinations. I don't think this is an encounter I will ever forget. There are no words to properly express how awesome, hilarious and fun this was. Thank you guys so much!
Kitchen Staff - The food was once again amazing. You folks have been doing a wonderful job exceeding expectations and keeping everyone fueled.
Tyson - All weekend from the Berzerker Face (which will haunt my character forever), to the every-elemental, to locking down logistics you sir are great!
Emily & Dave - All of the hard work, plot and RP with you guys and your NPC's is great. I'm happy to hear you're having as much fun with it as I am!
Tom - It's great to have another Barran Wild Elf around, even better that it's a scorpion. I thought your character was an awesome example of what I thought the scorpion were like and its great to see that side of the Barran elves represented.
All the wild elves. Wild elf cabin, wild elf hallucinations (With Kantil!) The camaraderie is awesome.
Mike Guarino - You killed it all weekend, I will forever be haunted by your knee-wings.
Donna - For all of the Fae-hating glares I seem to catch every time our PC's run into one another.
Bad touch goblins. From banana feedings to hitting on everything that was green or shiny. Good Times.
Fae party, I think other things that I loved encompassed this, but the dinner party to the stacking effects that we had when we were dropped off in the inn. Fantastic!
Attempting to try and work my way into the first nightmare mod by myself. I kept getting scolded once other people finally showed up for not being able to resist the fears. I think I got hit with 10-12 over the course of that encounter.
Also on that mod, the crawl space that was setup was a cool idea!
The maze setup on the tennis court. That was a great use of space, I wish I got to go on more than one mod in there.
All of the NPC's who were dead or white-headbanded that wandered by and whispered weird **** in my ears over the course of the weekend. Having that happen periodically makes it so much easier to stay in character.
Brander and Grub. Lots of good times. Meat was thrown, jokes were made.
The return of Kantil. Dorian wasn't there to see it, but I'm glad I was!
Getting invested in the celestial circle. That was a lot of fun, a cool first for me as a player.
Undead Cats and Dogs. I did a lot of yelling. Also a lot of trying to get them to fetch booze.
Cole's Chaos elemental.
Collin - Alexei, Chaos Elemental, generally terrifying bad-guy #5.
So much awesome from this event. Each and every PC/NPC there made the weekend better, this was an event where it was hard to stop smiling.

Oh my, that was probably the most fun I've had fighting and looting in a LARP
And I enjoyed some of the role-playing with the locals to Barran, learning about this great new world.
Also liked the fact that I knew most of the people: I don't feel like an outsider anymore!
Cole, are you a Chaos Elemental in real life? You played that a little too naturally...
Loved the access to CoPs in the tavern. It added tactics to the hectic battles.
Looking forward to my next trip to Barran, even with the long drive (alas, it won't be in November...).
