Better late than never:
- Channeling my depressed self on Friday night. Demvarien has been having a rough time with some things lately and they have weighed heavily on his mind. I was glad to notice other people picking up on it, that means I sold it.
- Going for a walk with Jax and all of the fun things that came out of that.
- The Loremasters' Guild mod on Saturday! I haven't had to run an obstacle course in game yet and that was an exciting change of pace for me as a player, even if I was only sent along to be the fun police.
- The Trial of Darius was some excellent roleplay. It really made Demvarien stop and examine the kind of knight he wants to be, and cemented his respect forBaron Sir Darius.
- Sparring with Aikoll, Cynder, and Thorgrim was a lot of fun, and they and the spectators helped me find some things to work on in my technique.
- It took me like two hours to get all five representatives of the House of Tiatar in one place, but Demvarien bringing his family up to speed with what he's been working on was a great scene, and probably the most emotional I've been at game. I was shaking by the end of it.
- Sucking it up and walking through a ward to go fight Serpentmen in Garthok later Saturday afternoon. Bonus points for doing this with a group of a bunch of Scions! As a player I find that group of characters fascinating, even if my character has a low opinion of them.
- The Garthok encounter was also interesting because my shield physrep broke in the middle of the battle and I had to fight the rest of it einhander. I was rather surprised at how well I held my own without a shield. Shoutout to Siren for a great duel at one point during the battle.
- Having a squire conversation with the Rivervale squires, most notably Kendrick, about what Demvarien should do with his BGA. It was a great test of his devotion to the Chivalric path, even if Kendrick was lacking some important context.
- Commanding the left flank in the Huntsman battle Saturday night was a great time. All of my people were super competent and largely required very little direction, but it was a good exercise in staying calm and keeping aware of a larger situation, as well as trusting in my competent allies to do what they needed to do without micromanaging them. Also, Will is terrifying enough, why did you let him swing 15 Chaos?
- The triumph of finally destroying the Huntsman once and for all!
- The drake fight Sunday morning was a lot of fun. It was a good mix of unconventional monster types that really contrasted well with the "let's stand in a formation and hold our ground" fight from Saturday night.
- My brother and I got to absolutely wreck our dad at one point in that fight, which is always worthy of a highlight reel.
- "Knox can handle it."
- Storytime. Just... storytime.
- Not one particular moment, but Demvarien was really touched by the outpouring of support from those members of the Rivervale court who are fully aware of his current situation, even if it is likely due to his brother's involvement. It was a nice reminder that all of the baronies are on the same side.
