Me sitting down and groaning "oh that hurt"
3 seconds later Marissa - "Tulbor, need your help"
me groaning and getting back up.
 
Jason to Jim - "What have we done? Fae bad decisions!"

Having to court a fae.

Baroness - "this is how we do it in Acathia." turns to Tanis, "I hear you have a certain set of skills..."

Dame Ash to Cam "that was very bold of you." His reply "I've no idea what I said, I'm drunk!"

Landing an eviscerate in front of D.

The food.

The stabbings in house zodiac.

A party so cool death crashes it.

"Sir Krieger, why is Vanyel crying?" "Penis Envy"

"19 ELEMENTAL ICE!"

"He rifts in one, he rifts in two, he rifts in three" Blood splatter!!!!

Realizing my old page crew is all grown up.... **sniff**
 
Shockingly effective Friday night playing the most dangerous game of matchmaker with Ashlyn.

Earth Circle lightswitch rave and psychopomp shop talk with Akemi.

Being inadvisably straightforward with the Acarthians. Definitely way more excited to visit soon!
 
"19 elemental ice"....... I have had nightmares pertaining to this line. It is eeeevvvviiilllllll

- I felt super useful this event. With all the elemental shenanigans and being kitted out for killing them, I got to taste that feeling of always being relevant in a fight. The culmination of that was when a new big Shadow Hound walked in and I tossed a Banish only to have it dodge. Someone mentioned how slippery they were and I had just had enough. With nine banishes available to me I just unloaded, burning through all its dodges until they stuck. It's the first time as that character that I've ever felt like a powerful person on the field.
- I loved the roleplay with Her Excellency and she's done a large amount to change Kel's mind about what nobility can be. Enough to seek out conversations with Vanyal about knighthood.
- Watching the family laughter of Zodiak. For the first time in a long time Kel felt like he was at home.
- Pocket Chocolate
- Everyone I met was fantastic. Seriously, just an amazing time all around.
 
- Plate of bacon. (Thanks Dan!!)

- Team Diverse Lady Elves

- Hanging out with Vanyel. Always a #1 Bro!

- Crap Trew. Classic Crap Trew.

- Trap mod w/ D, even without legerdemain. Anything resembling a physical mod always makes me stoked!

- Cards Against the Ceriopolis/Tarndale/Male Storm. What a great crew to play with!

- The new "Street Sweeper" maneuver with Calderon. That was brutal!

- Chicken Shin

- Double hooking with y'all NPCs on Saturday night. You guys are great! Thanks for letting me stick jock a bit!

- Sunday morning elemental blasting. Thanks Cooksey!!! 19 elemental ice ;)

- Wearing the GoPro for the Saturday afternoon fight. Thanks to Jules for bringing that and taking loads of photos

- Cabins!

- Chatting with Terren. He rocks at being a mystic wood elf!

- Page crew growing up. Jim, your eggs have left the nest.

- What do Kasuni's Saturdays devolve into?

Thanks all for the game! See you again in July (and possibly June before then...)
 
Oof, alright, let me think.

-All the visitors! Hooray!

-The cumulation of nearly a month of downtime back-and-forth with the Baroness in a proper meeting! Steal me away to Acarthia any day you like!

-Freaking out trying to first aid Shin (I like to imagine strenuous CPR in game)

-Flirting with the newly resurrected Dryad. Politeness and kindness get you everywhere.

-Literally fainting to the ground in front of her a few hours later when Calderon fell in a lake ._.

-The Empress and her knife games. No comment.

-Nikos quietly taking the entire plate of my cookies over to his side of the table. Sneaky, sneaky.

-Sincere and deep apologies after blowing up a unicorn.

-Getting romance advice from Panda.

-Chicken Calderòn with an egg thiiiiiisssss big.

-Our party was so cool, death themselves crashed it.

-Kasuni is the best MWE life coach.

-"We don't want anything that one has to offer- he already belongs to somebody."

-"Terren can I touch your horns?"
"So has your libido increased?" (thanks Panda)
"Have you touched your horns yet?"
"Have you felt... any... changes. You know. *giggle*"
ಠ_ಠ
*diplomatic discomfort*

Emily just reminded me, having MWE philosophy talks with Kasuni was amazing.
 
Yeah I should do this too, huh?
In the tradition of Cards Against Tarndale

The Whole Family coming out, you guys are the reason I play! Thank you!
All my out of town folks, you rule! I want to see you folks every game!

- Literally Dying
- An amazing Rez story
- Cam's 'All of this Blood', everywhere.
- A Hopeless amount of spiders reduced to carbon shadows.
- Getting called by your last name for an entire gathering, and flinching every time because You felt yourself being in trouble.
- To my new Gramgram, Sorry, #NotSorry
- Shin having perfect mastery over his frustration, for nearly 90 minutes! New Maelstrom Record!
- Bringing all the big guns to a hang out while Vanyal and Akemi won the mod.

- Sir Marcus and Shin talks
- Time travel related aneurysms.
- Trying to save Makaylee
- Garrenshaw, Redux

- Sitting paralyzed in a chair unable to do anything but cry.
- Then, being totally blown away and everything impossible made possible again. Such a dramatic shift was super intense. Truly Epic.

-Baroness Elivar, Drunk, with a 10 ft Pole.
-That awkward face people make when Shin gets them to explain sex, to him. Its a particularly fond torture.

More to come!
Thanks all!

That was fun to hear from the front line
 
So late to post this!! Thank you all for having us Acarthian Mist Travelers. I had a great time playing with you all and felt so welcomed. I've pushed hard for nationals as a result :)

Friday night was great, me and my buddies were way under level compared to most of your players, and as a caster there was no way I was being helpful in the front, so I hung back to protect refitters (a thing I like to do at home anyways). I really appreciate Cooksey for keeping us entertained in the back <3 He made sure we didn't feel super safe or not necessary for the battle and that is always a great feeling.

I enjoyed all of the chats and RP I had, most especially with Allara and Tevis. ;)

19 elemental ice is the best and being like Kasuni is Lumi's new life goal.

Hearing that Baron Marcus can't make it home and offering him to be Baron of Warchester. (Don't do it though, it is a cursed title)

It took ages but I also really had a great time on the kill the pool creature, then open the doors, then lose two people to a crack in the wall. That was really interesting.

Playing a shadow hound Saturday night, I love popping over to help out and really enjoy when it is something easily immersed in.

Kendrick telling stories of our party games in New Acarthia and watching most of the Mystics cringe.

Also Kendrick bidding on the charm item. Lumi and the Baroness were not amused.

Sunday morning burn the column team :) I hate leaving game without having used a single spell.

Thank all of your for being amazing, fun and so very welcoming :)
