Where to begin?
The Sunday morning fight with the Gnoll and his rat bastard minions was awesome. Having swarms of lower level creatures to deal with while the more experienced adventurers handled the big guy was fun as all get out, and it was mildly hilarious to have to fight on my knees for so long. My polearm may in fact be named the 'Rat Shiskabob'er" after what I had to do to get their corpses within looting range!
The final fight was pretty rad- all of us watching and cheering on as individual warriors fought the Charnel assassins in awesome one on one combat. All of those assassins made for a good show, actually.
Finding awesome loot that wasn't just coins and tags! Gems, teeth, bones.... it made it feel way cooler and has given me the idea of making a necklace from an Elosti tooth. Seriously, screw those guys.
Wrecking the undead after getting wrecked by them the day before was pretty fun. Just wish the terrain was a little less vicious to allow for some safer fighting near the cabins- sieges are always more fun when set up around structures
The mod with the Elosti by some farmers' barn was pretty solid- They were just powerful enough to put up a strong fight and force us to use our skills to the fullest without feeling like we were on our last legs. Tough without being overwhelming. Excellent statting and setup.
Finally, walking around with Victor the retired healer was gratifying, in a way. To have some solid roleplaying while helping someone go around town and help others and occasionally running into random undead was a great time and offered a nice pressure valve after the wretched defeat we suffered earlier in the night.

I seriously love this chapter. Thanks to everyone who works hard and plays hard here!
My favorite thing is being given the opportunity to play some challenging cards. I still consider myself pretty new to this game, (can I say that after 4 years? I think that's still pretty new, right?) so the fact that I got to be one of the bigger undeads (with spellstrikes, resists, and banes!) was REALLY awesome, and I really want to express appreciation to every veteran who is patient with me as I learn to manage all those cool effects properly. Things like "Spellstrike!-" "Bane-" "Bane -" "No effect? NO I MEAN RESIST, SORRY!" or maybe "Resist! I MEAN GOT IT!" happened just a few times!
ALSO. I GET TO BE KORINA, WHO IS SO FREAKING CRAZY, IT IS NOTHING BUT GOOD TIMES. For the final battle, I started RPing with my undead friends long before PCs got there, and continued RPing in the PC hold, just because it was SUCH GOOD FUN! Also, she keeps growing and changing and evolving and scheming, I can't imagine how crazy it must drive you PCs. MUAHAHAHA!
Being anything with loads of lives, crunchy or scary, doesn't matter. Read: Swinging pipe fearlessly and fiercely for long amounts of time. Gosh, I love good sparring.
Unusual and interesting roleplay with unpredictable consequences! Elisa and Ronya coming out looking for new students for Merick made quite a stir! I loved seeing people freak out when we rift it (like they were gonna tool us down) and then really hesitantly open up and answer all our interview-style questions. Gosh, I love good RP!
So... Good friends, good fighting, good RP, and oh yeah, GOOD FOOD. Man, this game is the BEST!!!
PS: Chulainn has some really, really, really intense dreams. I mean, I'm not gonna spoil them here, y'all can FOIG with him if you want, but dude... being a part of this guys RP is the BEST. EVER. Many feels. Much dream. Such ritual. Wow.
PPS: THANKS to everyone who gave official congratulations to Mike and I! I LOVE THAT BOY AND I LOVE PLAYING WITH HIM, YOU ALL ARE THE MOST SUPPORTIVE AND COOLEST COMMUNITY!
Love all around!

I absolutely love this chapter myself. We drive 9 hours and some 1200 miles to play Gettysburg but it has been worth it every time.
Friday's deadwalk was terrifying. Then having plot show up in the middle of the night Saturday... everyone in our cabin freaked out so hard.
The Mord's ritual was also amazingly! Thanks so much plot. Our lowbie squad quest wiping out the rat nest, then the rat swarm invading town felt strangely connected.
The unscheduled, unscaled hearteater gnoll module was also epic.

-I will always remember the auction as "That Time Plot Broke V's Heart Forever". Not only did you take Tvard, but you killed my son/husband AND made it abundantly clear that at least some of her clan survived the last century. Luckily, I know an elf who just happens to be the daughter of a matriarch...
-I will also remember the auction as "The Time Team Bad Guy Convinced the Entire Town to Commit Assault to Save Tvard".
-Friday night deadwalk and hiding in the woods with Jynx, Kailani, and Ama'Rali. Huge sense of terror and need for survival.
-Conversely, Saturday night deadwalk and the Earth Storm/Magic Storm combo that got really, really silly. "HAVE YOU HEARD THE GOOD NEWS? EARTH STORM!"
-The sheer number of people calling me "Guildmisteress".
-Proving everything Kailani has ever heard about V wrong, one motherly nod of approval at a time.
-Amazing RP with Kur, Kantil, Simon, Gilded Claw, and Chulainn. And Rali, duh.
-Coming home and solving a puzzle given to me last season. I wish I could tell people about how brilliant it is, but then I'd have to teach them how to speak Suudic.
