[Asher Fairchild]

Where the heck do I even start?!

Ghost stories(especially Ryersons! Omg!)

Having an ominous dinner with Auron after coming into town

Fun nature hike with Auron and Pierre, on which we found a nest of bones

"MARITIME LAW, FINDERS KEEPERS MOTHER FUCKERS!"

Practicing my bow skills with the adorable Era (sp)

Sparring with Volk

"I'll just kill the happy bunnies for meat!" *bunny does 10 metal damage* "the FUCK?!"

Poor Torvallis! wanting me to love magic and rats but I'm so dang anti magic and rats

Cuddling Horns while he fixes me up

Also HOW CUTE AND FUNNY WAS GOR?! I couldn't keep a straight face I love him!!

Hugging Christian the tree.

All the hugs and cuddles

AND SO MANY MORE


This weekend was THE BEST and I'm so happy I get to spend the summer with you folks in Holdfast. Thank you all for a stellar weekend! Shout out to Sharon and the entire cast and crew for pulling off a great event. See you all at a M&G or a crafternoons soon!!

[Borin Ironhammer]

Bikbun yelling at the rat who tried to steal his axe in gibberish.

Rats stealing a whole bunch of other shit too.

Ig howling prompting an Oog dog search resulting in the rescue of a missing puppy.

Skeletons. Shits just bones, push it over.

The entire town springing into action when they hear the helions screech.

Half the town then promptly springing out of action when they see the helions.

Hearing through the cast room door
Horns: AND THEN I PUT THE METAL KNEECAP IN HIS LEG!
someone else: well it's not there now.
Horns: THAT IS NOT MY FAULT!

So much shit has happened to these people that a two headed thing is just another Tuesday.

Except Torvallis! Who was terrified of it.

Bikbun won potato then potato won him.

Being Oog and listening to people discuss what the abominations might be while Hugo tries to participate via book.

Coming back as Borin for the morning market and making deals with all the smiths.

The pirate that I thought would only be a minor annoyance actually causing a moral crisis for Degren.

Horns: Edwin of toth predicted that volk would marry marwel
Borin: well let hope he was right this time. And by right I mean wrong.

[Bikbun Ironbones]

Bikbun trying (and failing) to kill three spiders. Damn webs.

FINALLY being able to pray at the damned Air Circle - The first time I tried, Skeletons. The second time, Hellions. The third time, well, this leads on to my next point...

"Described action: Angry, Flying, Screaming Dwarf launched over the cookhouse"

Winning at Potato. HARDCORE. (I was RPing coughing up dirt and choking so much I legitimately started to wretch and choke! Good times )

Sharon's Kissing Skeletons (Never has my dwarf considered the concept of "boning" like this before XD)

Being a terrible flirt because I'm an incorrigible person (Love you Hilary! <3)

"I HAVE A PAIR OF GIANT METAL ARMS" ..... "NOW I HAVE THREE!" (honourable mention: "Cutting of the Giant Metal Arms 1... Cutting off the Giant Metal Arms 2..."

Daegrin(sp?) and I emergensmithing people's armour back together whilst avoiding skeletons in the middle of the night during hell raids. SO DAMNED HEROIC.

Generally everything else you guys are the best <3

Gibbershouting at everyone (thanks for the addition, mysterymod!)

[Lady Val]

As Lady Val

Getting Awareness 3 for a whole game

Plotting to overhaul the military and create a free counsel with Volk and Skye

Sitting at the Earth circle with Kamean and gazing at the stars (sp?)

Pretending to be mad AND generous!

Creeping out Gerald's character Carl

Boosting Torvallis! so they could grapple the Mecha-monk

Watching Bikbun get excited about having a pair of metal arms

Hearing someone yell that there was "a flying angry dwarf" outside and knowing immediately who it was

Getting to show off Val's new pyjamas

As Ira

Getting to wake up Bikbun as Ira

Freaking out because Herr was from the Scarred Lands

Blowing bubbles at the air circle

Target practice with Asher

Getting a lucky metal rabbit's foot

Watching Bikbun fish with Insaluit (sp?)

Generally getting to act happy, and bouncy, and totally naive

[Horns]

I had completely forgotten, "MARITIME LAW! FINDERS KEEPERS MOTHERFUCKERS!" but it deserves to be said again because that was hilarious.

All the Volk marrying Marwel jokes!

(Horns: Yeah, I think that what Marwel really wants is to just settle down! And then we'd all be in a better place, I think.
Volk: You mean dead?
Horns: No, like Florida! I thought we'd all come with you on the honeymoon!)

Torvallis! (while having a conversation with Freddy Toth): We're really more of a communist society.
Freddy Toth: *Turns and walks away without another word*

Torvallis!: I wear this much red and you expect me not to be a communist?

Hearing the laughter from the cast cabin when Horns was talking about the metal kneecap!

I fought a tree and lost. And I wish I could say that Horns fought an in-game tree, and it didn't really reflect on me, but I literally fought a real life tree and was defeated. (My ankle is okay, for anyone wondering!)

[Degren Brightforge]

Walking into the forest mining with Alex, George and Danica in search of metal. We came back with armfulls of rocks and gave them to Sharon. Conveniently, I had Mining and Geology 1, Alex also had Mining, and Danica was, IG AND OOG, a geologist. So, when we threw rocks that ACTUALLY HAD IRON in them at Sharon, she had little choice but to reward us with a unit of metal AND several shiny rocks!

[Torvallis!]

Hey, call me next time you do that! We can do an herbology walk at the same time, maybe? Just go out for a little longer.

My memories:

-Aforementioned interactions with Freddy Toth
-Getting to introduce new people to Edwin of Toth
-I got to grapple a strong grappler! It was great! Finally the *sole reason I became a fire mage* pays off! Nullifying the monk everytime he tried to grapple was cool
-Someone: "Oh! So Supper [the rat] is watching over supper!"
*groan from Jake*
Ticktock: "Did you set that rat up there all day just to make that pun?!"
Me: *shit-eating grin*
-Brian repeatedly repeating his description of the monk, very much refusing to tell us anything more.
-The merchants sunday market was actually quite nice! I was expecting to be quoted a hideous price for recipes that I would have to work towards, but I guess the cast really wanted us to have that new stuff.
-The Jenga game!
"You now believe that the ground is lava for 10 minutes and must warn everyone nearby!"
"EVERYTHING IS GLORIOUS! THE GROUND IS LAVA! EVERYONE! REJOICE! THE GROUND IS LAVA!"
-Not having to cook for 2 meals

[Ivy]

Before/after game:
- *Sounds of enthusiastic wood chopping*

- Sitting around the bonfire for hours on end

- Sleeping in my homemade hammock for the first time, and second time, and third time, and apparently being kissed in the process.

- Eating nothing but soup and bread for days, and then eating a slice of fresh pizza.

In game:

- *Clapping urgently at Torvallis!*
Torvallis!: "Thank you for the applause!"
Hellion: *Screeches behind Torvallis!*

- 'Conversing' with Carl in the woods, and subsequently having to flee a frog

- 'Conversing' with Lady Val at the earth circle

- Sitting in the woods coming up with stock phrases for the book

- Sparring on Sunday and the comedic flailing of foam fists which ensued

- Hearing "Flying, angry Dwarf" during the grapple fight

- *Increasingly frustrated improvised signing*

Looking forward to next event, and learning what the half-metal creatures are all about!

[Torvallis!]

OH! THAT'S WHEN YOU WERE TRYING TO GET MY ATTENTION TO A MOB!

Even after you talked about that, I thought you were talking about a different time than I had forgot :p

[Zar/Herr]

-Expressing utter disgust at "the goat" and "the cat"
-hearing Lady Val aggressively tell me "We need to talk!"
-basically the whole conversation with Lady Val and (forgot other elf name)
-shouting "is that a slave?!" And fleeing through the woods
-trying to convince people i was a tree
-learning from Hugo
-watching the moon with Hugo
-grossing out Lady Val at supper
-making Ira uncomfortable
-teasing Asher about almost dieing so often
-excellent sparring match with Skye
-secretive conversations with some characters
-telling one of the strange hostiles to sit, stay and go fetch
-doing reps with a log because i was bored
-finding a beautiful spot to hang out in the woods and promptly being assaulted by a spider
-quietly labelling every single character for the future

Good times!

[Malva]

-"Don't worry! He's been disarmed!"

-Communism

-Staying up late hanging around the campfire before game

-Pointing at Barry's character who apparantly had <1 minute left to his bleed and being like "Um, is he okay?"

-Discrete moral crisis when Rob's alchemist showed up

-Going into my bleed at the end of Stack Dem Bones while everyone else playing seemed pretty much unphased (Seriously considering investing in some more health...)

-"I'm a medic, I know you're just playing dead." "You're a medic, you know I'm not just playing dead."

-Being a geology nerd

-SO MANY PEOPLE! I MISSED SO MANY THINGS!

[ValerieTheHuntress]

so many others memories that I wish I could remember lol.

[Ravira]

- Starting game around the air circle with Opal catching bubbles.

- Watching Danika play with her hula hoop before and after game. Girl got skills!

- Kasey and myself chasing Herr around a group of people to make him uncomfortable because he dislikes Faie. (Sorry can't remember your elf name Kasey lol)

- Getting a note from Asher (oh the secrets.... and the misspelling of my name hahhahaha)

- Seeing the townsfolk stalk toward the line of skeletons. Epic.

- Barrie's character..... the clothes, the accent... you're nuts.

- "But I'm French!"

- "Maritime law!"

- Teaching Horns Unarmed Strike 1 with a tree as an opponent (cause Frenchie wouldn't help) and the tree winning. Then watching Bikbun defend Horns' honor by attacking the tree.

- Calling Bikbun different names trying to remember what his actually was. I recall BB and Bingbong (which are what I thought it was) but I'm sure there were others.

- "Lucky" metal rabbit feet.

- Getting to mend leather armor. (I may have to do more of this)

- People scratching my ears and me purring in response (when I finally realize they're doing it).

- Watching a crowd come in to see Sharon with arm loads of rocks.... real rocks.
