Season finale! September 2016 event

[Ivy]

What happened? Who died? What batch of inside jokes were spawned by this weekend's antics and/or violence?

[Torvallis!]

I have lots more, but my favourite part was actually something only myself and two others witnessed:

Gurak: (admiring the cooked lamb) "It's so big! And Fleshy! And I'm going to eat it!"
Torvallis: "I always enjoy when women say that to me!"
Gurak: *Uncontrollable laughing for multiple minutes*


There was also . . .

Someone: "Where's the moon?!"
Timmean: "It just hasn't risen yet, it's behind that hill, see the glow behind the clouds?"
Me: " . . . I was seriously so in character that I actually accidentally seriously considered that cast had hid the moon"

Everyone was out of character and laughing for a few solid minutes.

[Zar/Herr]

Funny you should ask about who died!
Did die: Malva and Degren
Almost died: Krond (sp?) and Skye
Would have died: Timmean, possibly Bikbun and Jiago(sp?!)

"Would have died?" Yes, would have died. You see, i was an NPC Saturday night; an assassin! I put many people into their bleeds but more importantly i killed Degren! The ones who "would have died" are those that i made bleed out but stabalized because they weren't my targets (the knights and Volk). Krond and Skye were stabilized less than a minute before they bled out; Malva, however, died to constructs and nothing to do with me at all.

"What about Timmean?"
Fun story!
(Note that this happens at night during a hellion/skeleton attack and after stabbing Asher into her bleed on the porch and facing against/escaping Auron[slowly])
As an assassin NPC, i'm stalking around the corners of the bunkhouse as Degren bleeds out by the bathrooms and i'm wondering when my next victim will come through the door. I hear Timmean (my NPC doesn't know anyone's name) say that he's going to get Marwel as reinforcements; i assumed my NPC at least knows about Marwel and decides this is not acceptable. I see a lone figure begin crossing the field towards the knight camp, etc. I boot it through the woods hoping to catch them before they got as far as the earth circle; i did. Timmeans is jogging/running and i sprint out of the woods towards him. "What the hell is that?! Who the hell is that?!" He screams as he pivots and flees towards the bunkhouse. I allow him to escape and run back into the woods, i make sure i'm not being followed and i walk through the woods to the earth circle where i plan an ambush.
I stand somewhat beyond the two large rocks on the main path before the fence and keep an eye out for anyone who may come. Eventually i hear Timmean shout "is anyone there?" But i don't yet see him. When i do, he is alone and walking very slowly. "Perfect!" I think to myself and crouch on my hands an neas behind a near by bush. Timmean walks by and once he passes the fence, i begin to follow him, not bothering to be stealthy. He notices me and stands, turned towards me. "Who's there?" He asks. I wave. "Don't worry, it's only me" i say in a rough voice as i continue walking. "Herr?" He inquires, still stationary. "Who is Herr and why does everyone keep calling me that?" I say as i close the last few feet between us and immediately stab him into his bleed. Before leaving, i bandage him up so that he was stable.
He was there for at least 45 minutes before Sharon, as an NPC, gave him health and brought him back to town, all the while the town kept shouting "where's timmean?" But never actually looked for him. (The same goes for Degren, actually)

As for stabbing Asher, Ellephan(sp?) was wimpering behind his shield against a wall on the porch as an eneny was slowly pounding his shield. I, as the assassin, was behind this enemy waiting for an opening to kill [Thomas]. Eventually the enemy was distracted by another person and so i squat down next to [Thomas] and began stabbing him in the side until he started bleeding out; at that moment, Asher, Auron and probably several other people came out of the door behind me, Asher made it to the bottom of the first set of stairs when i stabbed her in the gut and into her bleed and flee without looking back. "YOU!!" I hear Auron scream in anger as Asher falls to the ground. He chases me into the field for a confrontation which i escape thanks to a skeleton attacking him.

I'll write more later but that's just a couple of hours worht of Saturday night!

[Timmean]

Oh man, that was awesome, Gerald! The first time you ran out of the woods at me, I was so freaked out, I had no idea who was after me. And then being dropped so far from town... in the few seconds after you attacked and before you stabilised me, I was absolutely certain I'd die. Lots of other memories, but I HAD to comment on that.

Also, the idea of cast hiding the moon was... absolutely hysterical.

[Malva]

-I bled out in the field. People came within meters of me and did nothing, most notably Timmean who nearly tripped over me and kept running without even so much as calling out "can someone heal this person?"
-I got to be a construct before I res'd and mauled all my friends
-"HOW IS 8 METAL NO EFFECT?!?!?"
-After all of that somebody finally noticed my physreps where I died.
-Land of the Dead was cool. Sharon is psychic btw.

-I got attacked by a werewolf in the woods Friday night, but I screamed loud enough that I got found quickly
-I then had to repeatedly explain that the werewolf had not bitten me and I was fine.

-Freeing a slave from some elves, and then long story short, we ended up killing the elves. Then we all joked sarcastically about how it DEFINITELY WOULDN'T HAVE ANY CONSEQUENCES
-Okay so yeah it had a lot of consequences

-I had a lot of fun hunting flora and ore eggs in the woods! I found a lot of cool stuff.

I'll probably add more stuff later

[Zar/Herr]

Apologies for wall of text (it's a good read though!)

Before game
-By the earth circle with Volk and hear whistling, not knowing who it was. Volk: "It's like a horror movie. Am i in the woods? Yes. Am i with a less than reputable person? Yes. Am i a less then reputable person? Yes. We're all gonna die."

Friday night
-Sneaking up on the knights camp about 2 minutes into game, hiding behind the tent and walking in, surprised that the knights didn't care that i was there!
-Practicing my stealth by following Malva only to be told, when i asked how i did, that she knew i was there.
-Sincerely feeling like a failure when i helplessly watched Malva be attacked by a werewolf and failed again later that night when i KNEW Bikbun was going to be attacked as well.
-fake sobbing turning into real sobbing in the woods when people were looking for Malva (you know, because i couldn't save her)
People thinking my sobbing might be a trap (what?!)
-roleplaying heart break (that's an experience, for sure!)
-Malva not caring when i apologized for not being able to save her (ouch!)
-Bikbun forgiving me for my failure to protect him (aka actually caring :p)
-Asking Lady Val why she has any interest in someone who can't protect anyone and receiving an acceptable reason
-Going into the woods, taunting the werewolf to kill me, seeing Pierre walk down the path in front of me, he stops, i hear heavy breathing behind me. "Fuck, i'm dead" being mauled, played dead, Pierre was defeated, werewolf left, i sat by Pierre to stabilize him, werewolf comes back down path. "Don't notice me, don't notice me", werewolf notices me, finish stabilizing Pierre, werewolf moves, i bolt out of the forest!

Saturday
-anonymously delivering a few flora at a time, throughout the day, to Malva's alchemy table and attempting to observe her reactions
Playing with Krond(sp?)'s sword, having a difficult time swinging it with any speed
-A nice beast guild meeting!
-Innogen watching me be jealous. Didn't know she was there until i turned around
-Timmean finding me as i discover a new, nice location near the water, he approving of the location and then training me there
-Missing the slaughter of the 3 elves because i was keeping 2 of our own elves (Keket and Innogen) away from the fighting
-hearing about the excellent teamwork when fighting the elves!
-Innogen being very compliant
-being behind Lady Val, (Helen's character that brought us to the mist), etc on the step with weapons ready to strike them both down if things got out of hand; thankfully, it did not become violent.
-spending an hour in the woods contemplating and then giving all of my shards to Lady Val, all of my metal to Bikbun, air mana to Auron, earth to Volk, fire and water to Skye/Allura and, sunday, all other possessions to Malva because i don't expect to come back from the mist

Saturday night
-Singing along with the bards and other patrons and wanting to Dance
-receiving dirty looks from an apparently irritated Lady Val during the singing and merrymaking
-wishing to have more nights like this one and the one with the reptile people and sword dancing.

-missing out on people being babies because i was the cast assassin (i wanted to take care of them too!)

Sunday
-not showing my confusion when Asher was completely okay with lending me her sword for the competition, which ended up being unnecessary anyway.
-consuming the best pancakes in the world
-being defeated so easily in the tournament
-leaving a "not coming back" gift (most of my stuff) before going to the mist
-holding back more tears just before actually going to the mist

-constantly holding back tears when myself, Bikbun, Pierre and Timmean volunteered to go to the mist

So many feels this game!

I'm in the mood to write so i'm going to make a thread, somewhere, to a story about what it was like being the NPC assassin because i loved it dearly and remember it clearly! Seriously, it'll be a good read!

[Malva]

-Malva not caring when i apologized for not being able to save her (ouch!)

It's not that I didn't care that you apologized, I didn't care that you couldn't save me.

-anonymously delivering a few flora at a time, throughout the day, to Malva's alchemy table and attempting to observe her reactions

Oh that was you!

all other possessions to Malva because i don't expect to come back from the mist

[Zar/Herr]

At the end of game, i had laid 2 pouches of stuff and a dagger on your alchemy table which i don't think you saw until game was over. I suppose you didn't see it at all! Ha.

[Malva]

Ohh I saw that. I didn't realize it was for me, I was just like "Why is someone leaving their stuff around my setup?"

[Asher Fairchild]

So many memories. This is going to be long and I may end up posting multiple times!

*during log, I give Michael 10 bucks for food*
Me: that's for last night!
Michael: hehe, you're a little short!
Me: Actually, that's with a tip

Seeing Helens plant monster on Friday night and just wanting to give up. Oh my gosh she sneaks up on me EVERY TIME

THE WEREWOLF! Herr was super helpful and Pierre was just running into the woods like a dummy. Total opposite of what I'm used To!

Trying to keep drunk Bikbun and Gurok safe and from causing any trouble. They were too funny!
"Are you ok?"
"No, I'm Bikbun!"

Asher/Auron baby fights!
"He's hitting you and you like it!"
"...."

The bunny! Hug the bunny! Boop the bunny!

When the spider thingy was first attacking Auron
"Take off your armor...and you'd better take off your shirt too!" -Asher

Then getting attacked by the same spider thing. The RP of being in extreme pain was super fun. Unfortunately it left me afraid of peaches, which I brought for snacks :p

Shits going down, but Asher just can't help but stare into the forest for 20 ducking minutes XD

The teek mod. Oh my gosh. Seeing her on that hand leash, Asher was like NOPE

Robs elf pushing her in the Inn...more NOPE occurs

Standing between teek and the other elves and untying her lead and throwing it on the ground. Felt like such a hero.

Auron and I planning for their return ALL FUCKING DAY and the second they get back and stuff starts to get tense, Christian has us both swallowed by earth for 100 minutes. WTF SO SALTY

we're finally no longer under ground, and there's a bunch of unconscious elves everywhere. Oh gosh what happened

"Permission to kill them sherif?"
"Shrugs shoulders* "I ain't care"

Letting teek kill the final one. Then thinking she was a little TOO happy about it

"You get a lingering thought in the back of your head that maybe you didn't do the right thing" -Christian

OHBNO LESSA IS PISSED. WHY LESSA WHY

Venting my frustration to Degren and Pierre about how even when we carefully weigh our options, I feel like we always lose

"...did I just accidentally start a race war?"

Talking to lady Val about teaching Auron courting etiquette and getting a shiny necklace from her! So cool!

Wondering if I should give back the necklace after the killings...nah

The delicious stew Degrin made for dinner on Saturday night. Omgosh yessss

Being baby Asher was far too fun this game. The best part was making Auron carry me around with him, and throwing a fit when he tried to leave. Poor Auron can't catch a break! Also, thank you Allura for keeping me busy with your shiny armor :3

I'm finally back at full health and on my way to get my armor repaired, and I get stabbed in the gut by the assassin. I fall to the ground and hear Auron yell "YOU" and then proceed to chase him out into the field. We both thought it was Herr XD

The Degrin construct was so scary! Trying to get them all separated and surrounded while passify was happening was net impossible. So much frustration!

Trying to explain to gor why he can't make constructs. That whole conversation oh my gosh. My brain melted XD

Degrin coming back to town naked oh my

*scary spider that repeats the last thing it's heard*
Me: I don't like that! It's so creepy!
Volk: ...this is your job!

"Fire" at the outpost

The tournament. Oh my gosh the tournament!

Iago who has 5 health and no armor making it to the semi finals

Degrin and Auron get ready to fight...the rain picks up...tensions rise...trash is talked...so fucking epic

Krond falling and rolling to his feet OH MAN

Borin throwing 5 rares into the pot!! So much money for the champion!

Screaming during all the fights. Like I was so excited I started screaming. So much fun!

*everybody gathered at the ceremony of rememberence for Borins grandfather. Touching stories are being told, the mood is heavy, so much good rp*
*every fighter in the tournament is grinding their teeth, dying to get back up to the field*

Surprising Degrin with the fact that he'll have to take on volk XD

Oh oh oh! And fighting with volk in the bunkhouse! So much yelling I think we scared Jaya! First argument 10/10 great rp

I'm going to stop for now and just say this. These LARP weekends have made this summer my best summer ever. Getting to know you all in and out of character has been absolutely amazing. This is a truly special group of people and I can't believe how lucky I was to stumble across this group of people who ate totally ok with me being my weird self.  thank you so much for all the memories

[Torvallis!]

Pickpocketing!

Oh, the pickpocketing I did this game was fantastic!

"Oh hey, can you give Auron's Dagger back to him?" was perhaps the only one that someone might have noticed, afaik. I dunno, did Asher notice me taking money from her?

And I suppose some folks may have noticed when I jumped from having 4 water mana to 6 water mana, since I actually told different people those numbers.

Fastchanging Allura for fire mana after she rejected Torvallis!

Almost convincing Lady Val to let me set her on fire. I'm sad that didn't happen, I was going to have difficulties setting the fire and I had all sorts of ED jokes/puns to use in that setup :p I was also going to ask Grayfeared to play songs "for to make the fire dance", which would've course been us blended with fire and dancing.

Yelling match with Lessa about lying humans, where, oop!, I lied!

I got an actually pretty hardy cheer from the knights just for saying "Slavery isn't against the elven code. It's against mine, though"

Trying to explain the philosophy of active divinity to the non-elven folks while being against the elves was neat. "What if your god actually existed and proved it?" is not a question many of you have ever considered, (*cough* even the elf players *cough*). It has interesting epistemological implications, though! It's fun to consider!

Gotta leave for school, more later!

[Zar/Herr]

Oh darn! I forgot to say these!
Skye escaping one assassination attempt, Mar (sp?) surviving 2 or 3 assassination attempts and one encounter! The only time i took Mar down was when he was entering the Inn, so he fell into his bleed in the doorway of the Inn! I'm confident he was stabalized quickly

[Borin Ironhammer]

-Somebody says werewolf and Pierre is gone.

-Re-enchanting all of my marks and trying to stay away from the trombone so people could hear me.

-Hiding behind allura while people tried to draw out the werewolf.

-The werewolf howled so loud I realized Noone would hear my song so I just stopped playing.

-Jamming with grey feared and morovich in the morning.

-Lord earth one spotted a snake.

-As the event went on I learned that Datura was essentially popcorn proof.

-Auron Scrambling to take notes during Lord earth's "not dieing 101" lecture.

-Datura using arcane direction checks a rats stomach contents. They were incredibly disgusting with a vomiting inducing smell. After the knights puked all over their camp Datura covers his nose and throws the rat carcass over their picnic table into the woods getting rat guts all over the table. Degren then promptly assigns him to clean up duty.

-*Teke kills last elf*
Auron: I feel good about this
Asher: Yeah I think this was the happy ending
Oog me: three dead people and one person dancing on their Graves and that's the happy ending
Herr:*staring off into the distance* this town is fucking weird

-The shouting match between Lessa and torvallis! Was epic

-Everyone was super sad and dreary after the race curfufle so I figured I would come try to cheer the place up.

-My attempt at make ing supper time cheerful was beyond successful. It was one of my two favorite parts of game.

-Magic helions were so much fun and made the helions feel feared again.

-Helion disappears and teke who for some reason can see it just points at it and yells "follow my finger" repeatedly

-Pacifying all of the constructs unless the townsfolk have a very strong advantage.

-The sonic boom!

Me: one hundred mauling bypass twenty foot radius.
Mike: holy shit
Me and all the constructs drop

-Bikbuns pancakes were awesome

-Borin walks into town and immediately puts up a shitload more money for the tournament.

-Everyone showed up to the ceremony of remembrance and a whole bunch of people even shared memories. It was super touching and I'm tearing up just typing this.

-Presenting Bikbun and tinker with Ulthars axes.

-training bikbun in jewel crafting

-observing people leave for the mists Oog and then hearing a shouting match between Asher and volk in the bunkhouse house and deciding I'd rather be watching what's happening in there.

You guys are all so amazing. I would like to thank every single one of you for such a great event and a great season. I hope to see you on potato day.

[Ira the Elf]

Ok so hands down this was the best game of the season for me. Here are my memorable moments, good and bad:

Friday Evening (OOG)

-Feeling bad about family stuff and Jake being worn out and feeling comforted just by being around everyone
-Lighting up the entire bunkhouse this time with my candles

Friday Night:

-Being surprised by Innogen's unexpected visit
-Freaking out because there is a werewolf on the loose
-Consoling Herr about not being able to save Malva and giving him a necklace
-Getting to show Innogen Lady Val's pyjamas

Saturday Morning

-Running around as Ira and getting to meet Lord Earth
-The Beast Guild meeting was awesome! I can't wait to make my bestiary!
-Finally we have Terracattle! (they were a thing at Warwick LARPs that Jake and I wanted Rob to try out. It sounds like it was a success!)

Saturday Afternoon

-Changing into Lady Val and dealing with the initial Teak situation, trying to smooth over relations with the Elves and get Teak somewhere safe
-Meeting the inquisitor and confessing that although I didn't kill the lady I was glad that she was dead nonetheless because you don't mess with an Elf's freedom
-Chuckling inwardly at Degrin's punishment, serves you right for being foolishly honourable
-Brainstorming on how to save Teak and Teak's reactions to the trinket from Cynevin and the Goblin Button
-Getting a beautiful circlet from Bikbun :3
-Freaking out over having not starting supper in time and RPing with Timmean while the Elves returned
-Freaking out even more upon hearing all of the Elves were killed! (Seriously Knights I trusted you! And Asher, girl you are totally not getting that necklace enchanted unless you atone for your sins! Shame on you!)
-Consoling Quinn, feeling so betrayed by the town (especially after the inquisitor thing) and wondering how the Knights could have broken their code of honour to serve the town members, seriously do Elves just not count?
-Watching Lessa and Torvallis! get into a shouting match, they may have lied but at least they tried to de-escalate things Lessa unlike some people *looks pointedly at Asher*
-Talking to Timmean about his choice to be a sacrifice and deciding to accompany the sacrifices to the Mists
-Trying to convince Bikbun not to go

Saturday Night

-Enjoying the music but feeling annoyed because A) Val wonders how the humans can be so happy after insulting the Elven members of the town and B) I couldn't cut the lamb
-Reforming mana for the town
-Learning that Auron and Teak killed two of the Elves because Asher let them, realizing Allura might have been present for the murders, and then leaving with Quinn to go and speak with Lessa about the situation
-Coming back into the battle as Flora and getting to medic everyone, ye gods I love playing that character!
-Getting to teach Innogen and Jaya medical skills and then using Jaya as my nurse
-Being baby Flora <3
-Hitting on all the ladies as Flora (seriously she thinks you are all hot and totally wants all of you)
-Giving Bikbun relationship advice and then realizing that Keket and Innogen are not just Elven ladies but High Elven ladies *feels bad for flirting with high elven ladies but not bad enough to stop hitting on Elven ladies*


Sunday Morning

-Eating Jakes pancakes
-Talking to Timmean about being sacrifices
-Feels jam with Quinn at the fire circle (she's like the sister Val never had)
-Attending Borin's grandfather's funeral
-Informing Phineas about the murder of the Elves

[Jaya]

The whole weekend was amazing and will be remember to be honest. It was my first game and you all made me feel welcomed and accepted. I had a lot of fun and am now I‘m addicted.
Some specific parts I enjoyed were:

Getting up early Saturday and going looking for flora and ore before anyone else and also later looking for more with Malva.

First seeing all the candles and character set ups set up in the bunkhouse

Watching Flora’s medical routine and her in general as a character

Being taught medic by Flora and being her nurse

Watching/keeping Malva company as she made her first batch of mana!

The interaction between Bikbun and baby Flora was so precious!

Baby Gurok and Asher…okay maybe all the babies were great.

Teak’s reaction to being healed for I believe 25 hp

The music and singing with the bards in the tavern

Being frightened IC by Asher and Volk fighting and trying to stay in character and not smile from enjoying the great RP

Lessa scaring the shit out of Jaya as she walked into her freaking out in the tavern
Elf drama so dramatic and the FEELS

Iago making it to the semi finals of the tournament

The tournament!

[Torvallis!]

Oh, right!

At one point, the champions, the wiz, and lord earth were all high up on the hill, making a mana trunk.
Lord Earth tells us all to focus. Just focus.

Because of that, for the next 10 minutes wile we silently focused, all I could think of was ostriches doing the can-can, and it was all I could do not to burst out laughing.

I think I kept enough oif a straight face to fool everyone

[Keket]

oh how could i forget this one! when the songs were all benning signed i asked for the goblin song to be singed jsut ones and it was and then from cast cabin you hear someone laughing then we all bursted out laughing that was good!

[Pierre]

One of the best games I've played so far. And sorry for not being my witty, lame punny self, due to so much character growth. Found out it's hard to keep up a French accent when in a somber mood. But finally getting a snippet of what life I had before the amnesia event and dealing with my most hated of enemies, the werewolf. So...
-Setting up our bitchin camp
-Making an OOG bet with IG materials with others to see who can last the longest without going OOG for unnecessary reason
-Seeing more people take interest to the knights
-Digging the fact that people trust Pierre enough to tell him things that are meant to be kept secret
-Getting comments, compliments, and witty remarks about me and Ravira
-Seeing drunken Bikbun go into battle and defeating Helen's plant monster. Super hilarious
-Tony's accent
-Showing other the meaning of "Triggered" when anything werewolf pops up
-After spending much time into the woods trying to track down a werewolf, giving up, then proceed to use my light to find my out of the woods when I come across Herr with the werewolf directly behind him, breathing heavily. Me rushing to put my light away and hearing Herr say how fucked he was. By the time I was ready to engage the werewolf, Herr looked like he went down. Realizing the fact that a silver lined staff is best suited for open field and not the woods. Getting down by the beast and later being dragged up deeper into the woods. As the werewolf stabilized me and took off, I pondered if I would become one from our battle. Rob comes back and starts graphically chewing into my body and thinking to myself, "Fuck me, I'm gonna be a werewolf" After he was done feeding, he healed me again but back to consciousness. Without any silver weapons I knew I couldn't really do damage, so I first stayed on the ground hoping he would leave but he wouldn't. So I stood up and began calling him down saying I would kill him and all that stuff. I knew Rob wanted me to leave but I kept yelling at him, so he threw me out of the woods lol. Seriously loving this werewolf mod
-Overhearing Teak say she could see into people's memories and waiting patiently to find a time to ask her to search my memories
-Getting emotional over the fact that Teak found that I had a family, and that some might still be alive. So emotional I got to hug Teak
-Having a battle with Rob's chimera creature and him burning my staff. Asking OOG if my staff was still there to which he replies, "No, it's gone forever...sorry" Showing a very unpleasant face and flips him the finger
-Shortly after asking Rob while others were dissecting him if the silver from my staff was still there and it was. Then happily looking at Rob and saying I love him
-Super proud of Auron and Asher for standing in the way of the Elves
-Super disappointed that Degren was cursed to not speak, even though at time it was kinda funny
-The ensuing battle with the Elves. Marr (sp?) using a burnout on one which started the slaughter. And the whole team work of everyone else.
-Looking at Auron asking Asher for permission to kill, Asher response and Auron immediate killing blow. To which I go to the other one and do my killing blow.
-Getting Teak so happy with the murder of the Elves brought some joy to me, because it was the same happiness I felt when she showed me my memories
-Finding out how racist Elves can get
-Volk over abusing Knockout on me, even though I wasn't hostile to anyone (fear to everyone else of me becoming a werewolf.)
-The clinic that became a nursery. My God, even though I was unconscious I still had to hear countless people cry like babies. Alleran's (sp?) cry was my favorite though. Eventually lying down because I went a long period without anyone healing me, and Alleran finds a knife and starts killing me with it...AS A BABY! OOG, I was plotting to either kill myself or kill everyone of you in the room haha
-Having my heart broken upon hearing Degren was killed
-Overhearing that an assassin was in town hunting the knights
-Hearing Gilmore's sonic boom and being super thankful I wasn't in that radius
-Being slightly excited that I was high enough status to have a bounty on my head
-After the assassin broke free and started running into the woods, I decided to begin at a different point in the woods. Tracking the noises they made I hear the assassin making a break at an exit from the woods. Re-Positioning myself into the shadows at the edge of the woods and having him run right into my drawn sword.
-Delighted that Volk said I could be the one to put him down, but decided to bring the body to Auron, to which he brought to our camp and finished the job in front of the rest of the knights.
-Having an emotional breakdown of visions from the werewolf's bite and having Teak show me that those were not of my own memories
-Borin's funeral service
-THE TOURNAMENT! All the fights were really good and I really enjoyed mine with Auron. Even though the crowd was clearly rooting for Auron. Disappointed I only got to fight once, but took solace in the fact that Auron won, and I was the closest to beating him.
-Offering myself as a sacrifice/ tribute to the Elves for being a part of the killing of other Elves. (Pierre doesn't know a whole lot about the Elves and the last thing he wants in Holdfast is a race war)
-Seeing others get emotional when they have to leave with the Fae and realizing that the knights don't really seem to care a whole lot about Pierre leaving haha

There's so many more memories but I'm really ecstatic about the character growth of Pierre. It felt like this event was made for him, (later found out it wasn't, it just so happened to work out in my favor)The new characters added so much more to Holdfast now too so I'm glad the newcomers seem to enjoy it. Hope you're all are hooked.

Slightly out of order and may have forgotten some things. May add on to the post later.
Also figured out the problem with the first post... had to delete emojis.


Friday:
-Meeting all the new friendly faces!

-pretzels

-showing up to see the completely revamped knights camp, complete with a table and medieval music! Great work guys.

-Getting proposed to by Torvallis! and feeling awful when shutting him down, but realizing quickly that he wasn't too broken up about it (aside from some snide comments).

-being formally invited into the knights by Datura

-trekking into the woods trying to find the sources of screaming, seeing Herr run away alone and the watching the knight chasing him down

-meeting and being healed by Lessa

-Hallucinations! The babies were hilarious. Had a grand time making snow angels, shrieking about cities and loved ones burning, and hunting a fictional snake and dog through the forest with Allephan. Also. Drunk Bikbun is fantastic.

-watching shit go down with Phineas after he hid us both in the earth

-the music during battle was awesome, love that we're seeing more bards in town! Adds a lot to the experience.

-being super skeptical about the salt water being used to cure parasites.



Saturday:
-second official BS meeting, introducing some new members (Innogen, Allephan and Volk [forgive me if I've forgotten anyone]) and being named as Sky's "right hand lady".

-Noticing the elves enter town while guarding camp, and recognizing one as the man who'd tried to lead everyone from town before (everyone who was aware during my first game).

-meeting and being rescued by Teak after promising we would do all we could to keep her safe. Learning that she was the reason behind the hallucinations.

-watching for 20 minutes as Allephan dissected a "jumping not-bear", learning more about their biology, nearly crying laughing with Rob.

-dissecting the "mixed creature", cutting off the shell with Allephan and Innogen, and learning about more construct biology with the help of Lady Val.

-political discussions about the fate of the elves. Making it clear that I wasn't interested in harming them permanantly, but that I (hesitantly) understood if the knights wanted to "disarm" them temporarily, if that was the only way to keep Teak safe.

-watching Rob drop all his mana, repelling the other elf man (not in the intent to harm, just disarm... keeping them away from Teak and keeping my word). Being given mana off the third elf, but not feeling comfortable to loot one of my own kind.

-being entrusted to interrogate the elven lady (can't remember the name) because she'd only speak to an elf and I was around.

-accidentally attending the elven "funeral" (ceremonial burning) of the elves (while at the fire circle for a smoke... convinced by Wil and Jake to stay IC).

-overhearing Asher's comment about me at the camp feeling proud that she thinks I'm useful.

-lovely chats with Krond, Sky, Alluren and Volk at the camp

-walking across the field with Auron, hearing Volk whisper "is it safe?" (or something along those lines), and realizing he'd been up there since the return of the elves.

-folk music and singing and stomping ("ranting and roaring") in the inn before shit went down

-laying on the ground watching the stars for most of Saturday night, being continuously carried back to the inn by Volk, Auron and anyone else who happened to be around. Living in constant fear that I was going to bleed out while in sight of town.

-paranoia about Pierre becoming a werewolf  

-laying unconscious in the inn for what felt like hours while Keket disracted baby Asher

-learning that Gore is THE construct creator. OOG witnessing this realization and the argument that ensued between him and Asher.

-"I JUST WANT MY AURON" ugh my heart

-distracting baby Asher with my shiny armour

-delicious stew and pancakes and toast and sausages!

-James popping up in the tent window, being nosey with the funniest look while stuffing his face with my snacks.

-hearing yelling from across the field (Lessa and T! ?)

-unofficial knighting by Auron

-feeling awful for Mike the entire day

-gaining another new potential knight  in Krond

-crying at Krond trying to speak OOG and struggling between using and not using his accent

-asking Flora to check on Alluren (turns out Chris was just napping sitting up)

-late night fire-side discussions with Asher and the knights/knights in training. (Also wind moving chairs around to suit my needs... thanks Lord Air!)

-witnessing the knights getting revenge on the assassin



Sunday
-waking up to more pancakes and berries

-the tournament!
 -Auron pulling out the air mana, and the extra sword. Like. Shit.
 -Volk unexpectedly entering the tournament.
 -Iago and Gurok kicking ass.

-funeral for someone I'd never met. Was lovely to see the whole town gather to pay their respects though.

-the cry when Degren realized he was still mute broke my heart.


In general:
Being entrusted with half a bag of mana by different townspeople (Herr, Torvallis!, etc), feeling honoured that I'm being seen as valuable

-big daddy and little daddy

-Ashren

-micro-vallis

-Teak was super cute, well acted.

[Torvallis!]

. . .micro-vallis?

[Asher Fairchild]

HOW COULD I FORGET

*epic speech by Torvallis!*
Torvallis!: WE BELONG!
Gurok: *in the distance* no you don't!

[Allura (Jenn)]

Micro-Vallis= lighter LOL
& yes that! That was important.

[Torvallis!]

XD

I've been calling lighters Lord Fire's magical firesticks, but I'll take things being named after me

And yes, the speech! And then after that, I went into the inn, found Bikbun, and violently shook him, "YOU BLOODY DWARF, YOU RUINED MY BLOODY MOMENT", only to find out it was Gurok, who had cleverly left the inn.

Then I left the inn to find Gurok, tapped on someone's shoulders, "Excuse me, have you seen G-", and then realized it was Gurok and shook her for ruining my moment.

[Timmean]

Hi all! Sorry this has taken so long. Now...

Friday night:

-I got to play a trombone in game! And be Morovitch again! Lots of fun just from that alone. Walking into town while playing, and just being so oblivious to everything that was going on, until I realise "Oh no, I'm in HOLDFAST."
-Trying to avoid the werewolf and keep playing. And trusting Volk, Asher, and Greyfeard to keep me safe.
-Debating with Alloran (sp?) on his medic skill. "You're a medic? I can help with that." "I am, but I don't think there's any more you can teach me." "Oh, are you sure?" (gives him a mark, plays my song and doubles his healing for a few minutes).
-Just shrugging it off when people tell me not to heal Pierre because he'll just run off and get himself killed.
-Sitting off to the side of the room, just playing away...

Saturday morning:
-Constantly getting interrupted while trying to play my healing song
-Jamming with Gilmore and Greyfeard. Most of that went pretty well!

Then as Timmean:
-Lord Earth's whole meeting with the champions. The talk with the town, how we need to power up the circles, creating the "seed" WAY up on the hill, and so on. But the best part:
As the champions are about to leave with Lord Earth, Ellephan comes up and introduces himself and wants to learn from Lord Earth and a bunch of stuff like that. We all shoot him a look that just screams bad timing. Lord Earth points, (OOG:) "Point cast, probing tiers of awareness," Ellepah (OOG:) "Uh... none." Lord Earth literally rolls his eyes and walks away.
-Timmean, Torvallis, and Volk all deciding we should take on apprentices since Auron was so useful while Opal was away. And then training TWO students in water magic that day!
-Talking to people about werewolf bites and possible cures.
-Everything with Teek. Being out on the bridge when the elves walked in, trying to talk to Teek and the elves and figure out what was going on, then Teek getting left behind and showing Rob's elf the water and earth circles, only to be knocked out and have my hand cut off. Then I'm found and my hand is regrown BEFORE I'm woken up, so Timmean was so confused when everyone started asking what happened to his hand.
-Trying to think of a solution to Teek's bomb-necklace. At one point contemplated asking Marwel about it if other options really didn't work out.
-Walking into the inn just in time to hear "werewolf construct."
-Arguing with people over wasting mana in the planned tournament.
-Preparing for supper, then hearing a shout outside, rushing out to see things getting heated with Teek and the elves, but it looked like people were trying to calm things down so I went back inside. Then I look out into the field a little later and all the elves are dead. Well crap.
-When Lessa came into town, being sympathetic at first, then getting completely pissed over the "cleansed of all humans" line. Lots of drama and arguing ensued, as everyone knows. Disappointedly told a lot of the fey that they should go with Lessa, and was very encouraged by the number who chose to stay.
-Volunteering to go and see Za/Faerie, and was very touched by the number of people who wanted Timmean to stay. Then Lessa uses the word "sacrifice" and I just think oh fuck, I'm so doomed.
-Was so frustrated after the whole elven argument that I just walked down to the edge of the water and started screaming and hurling fist-sized rocks into the pond.
-Lamb!

Saturday night:
-So many discussions that night about the elves, Teek, Lessa, and the whole bit of drama. At one point Teek disappeared (because Sharon had other casting things to deal with) and Volk and Timmean were super scared she had gone off to find Lessa and somehow sacrifice herself.
-The whole "hidden the moon" conversation. SO funny. Also, the "We belong!" speech, with the "No you don't!" thrown out from the inn.
-Magic hellions; those things were nasty! And then when one dematerialized and only the psychics could see it (wasn't sure if they had gone astral plane or not until Teek started pointing one out).
-Teek acting as a kind of healing distributor; heal Teek a bunch, she dishes it out to people as needed. And the great moment when I urged Teek to come inside and we stacked tiers to heal her for 25 points. Boom.
-Lots of strange noises and stuff in the woods which I later learned to be Gerald's assassin
-Hearing a voice in my head to check the bathrooms, and finding both Degren (dead) and Crond (almost dead).
-When the constructs started appearing and we couldn't heal people fast enough, so I rush off to get Marwel only to have something (Gerald's assassin) pop out of the woods and chase me back into town. Doubled back and tried again, walking so slowly to try to listen for anything. He got me anyway just because he talked -_- As soon as he hit me I just thought "Frigg it, I'm doomed out here," and then he goes and stabilises me! SO glad I wasn't a knight at that point.
-As I'm lying unconscious in the path, I glance at my watch, wondering when people will find me. 5 minutes in and I hear people yelling my name. 10 minutes in they still haven't found me. I shuffled around to get a bit more comfortable, then must've nodded off because when I checked my watch again, I had been there for 40 minutes. Though I did get to hear the sonic boom from afar.
-Sharon taking pity on me and healing me as Teek.
-Walking down to the fire pit where people are chatting, getting told that Gore was the construct maker, and walking up to the inn just in time to hear Gore say he was inspired by Timmean's metal knee. That did NOT go over well with Timmean. He was just in the inn sobbing and completely useless for a good chunk of time.
-Interrogating the assassin! First arguing with Volk that we wouldn't use torture, then hitting the assassin with a water command to "cooperate." Every so often when he wouldn't answer a question, Malva just chimed in with a quiet little "that's not very cooperative..." Found out about the bounties on the knights and Volk.
-A long discussion with Teek on the elven drama, both our character histories, where her life is going, etc.

Sunday:
-Borin's return to town for Ulthar's funeral
-Got to tell Lady Val that she did not have a bounty on her head from the whole ordeal with Lady Daleria. As far as we know.
-Going down to the water circle and praying while the tournament is going on. I hid under my cloak to keep the prayer book from getting wet in the rain.
-Giving away all my mana. Literally, all of it.
-A few quick goodbyes, and then off to The Mists...
