September Favorites!

Thanks everyone for a great weekend! Still recovering, but here's my list....

1) Dorian (?? Not 100% sure of the name - If I'm wrong, sorry, hey, I'm gettin' old) the dwarf's epic waylay line in the Saturday Galanthian battle. A gorgeous in field display of my #1 favorite skill in this game. In all my years of LARP'ing, I've never witnessed it done quite so well.

2) Same, battle, almost same location. Turning around and seeing Larien standing behind a flank of immobile Galanthians calming snapping their necks. It wasn't even so much the action, which frankly is an incredibly personal way to administer a killing blow, but the "matter of factness" in her expression. What a juxtapostion to the normally bubbly lady that I had always seen. Mouse agrees with Qualin, she is made of tough stuff.

3) Human plot!! So satisfying on many levels. I still have a feeling that something is going to come back and bite us on the butt, but I feel really good about the way we all just got the job done. Mouse REALLY didn't want to leave her people in that situation. Great RP with Mike with Azur Dune (sp?)'s regret speech.

4) The team. We really did have great chemistry this weekend, didn't we? From unintentionally coordinating goody flavors, to "grown up Larping" to the battles, to the RP, to well, seems to be just about everything.

5) Qualin the Jester. I can't wait to find the perfect hat(s) for you.

Last but not least. Lochaber in the last cyrpt "mod". The whole time everyone else was talking, I just kept thinking "This is such a damn shame". Since eavesdropping on him last fall, every time I hear him speak, I keep trying to think of what could be said to make him see the light, so to speak. The honor Mouse saw in him is part of why she keeps being drawn into Galanthian plot. She can't quite excuse the vampirism, but she so wishes things could have been different. Scott, your portrayal of this complex character has always been masterful, and his end was no less so. I applaud you.

As always, there's more, but that's it for now..

See you in Oct.
 
Boy, this was an interesting event. I had a great time and can't wait for October.

1. Tough call for number 1, but having my wife come and play is always a great time!
2. Completely unexpected knighting! I am rarely speechless, but that took me totally by surprise. I was thinking not till next year.
3. Hanging with my friends from Blythedale and having Robb come and play was great!
4. Skull basketball! There was a point at which I was on the field just pounding on the undead and I realized, that we needed to end this fight and I went 100% after dunking skulls. I am sure everyone heard me yelling "Heads, I needs Heads!"
5. Seeing Duchess Ezri and going...oh crap, I don't think things went well since we left.
6. Playing Supek and then having him permanently die. Great roleplaying when they saved me in the future, and then with Heidi while she decided how to kill me was great. Then going to battle with the PCs against Gulak. She did not like that terminate. Heidi shredding my head with her claws was a little creepy, but a very cool image.
7. going after Lochabar. During the battle in the field I just have to say thank god for the King and a well timed hold. All I heard was Toddo, Brian did you get the Life on you shield. No, No, I didn't! That saved me and then let me help save Larien and Elara.
8. Going to Lochabar's sanctum. Quick pat on my own back for the Earth Storm plan. :P Definitely felt the Lochabar tragedy. I have never really personally interacted with him so to realize that maybe he was not as evil as we thought was interesting. He still needed to die, but I liked the second guess at the end.

I am sure there was more! See everyone in October.

Brian
