Julaugust 2021 - On the Fence Empty Re: Julaugust 2021 - On the Fence

Friday Night (Taka):
-When there is only you, Theo, and Sylvie around and there's two skeletons trying to break in the door  pale
-So basically it was just 3-6 people versus seemingly endless skeletons for the whole night  silent
-And we didn't have any skull-smashing weapons (Luckily a smithing hammer worked after)
-I think the worst it got was Taka in the field alone with Rin taking potshots from the deck

Saturday Day (Malva):
-Got more recipes overseen : D Not like, useful ones, but gotta catch 'em all!
-Nothing like a good old Holdfast arson
-Rakash showed up to fight and I somehow ended up as smith?
-I think we all thought Godo was going to show up a lot earlier than he did, definitely could have got a lot more done that afternoon instead of just chilling on the deck...
-But we had a cuddle puddle! So it was worth it (?)
-So yeah uh Godo showed up and like it didn't go great, but it definitely could have gone a lot worse
-Got all my caustic tar brewed! Should be at least 70 doses to go around....

Saturday Night (Taka):
-Had kinda tummy ache and didn't talk to bird guy (should have talked to bird guy)
-Lied down for another while until I was well enough to go investigate the laughter in the dining area (Theo/Dave and Asher/Erika were being hilarious and I don't actually remember any of it)
-Roof spiders! And deck spiders! Those were some interesting and, creative fights. Definitely a lot of creative fighting against popcorn this weekend....
-Also it was mostly the same people left fighting night popcorn as the previous night fight. Shout out Theo, Keket, and Kazuo for sticking around!

MY spider story:
There is a spider on the roof, and I'm jumping around trying to stab it.
Theo has made me immune to mauling damage.
The spider binds my sword arm to the roof,
it binds Theo's sword arm to himself.
The spider keeps trying to maul me to death, but can't. Of course it poisons me.
I realize that even though it's dubious rules-wise, I could totally kick that spider.
"One mauling!" *Spider mildly annoyed*
*Sudden realizes I have decent unarmed strike* "Three mauling! Three mauling!"
So I'm dancing around with my arm stuck, dodging more webbing and trying to kick this spider, and finally someone else comes and kills it.

THEO's spider story:
We're all trying to kill this spider and several people are bound.
My feet are bound, and I think Theo's are too.
We're all trying to whack this one spider that's barely in reach while we're stuck in place.
No one has any ranged weapon.
The spider jumps behind a very stuck Rosco who is also blocking the path and starts attacking him.
Utter chaos
Theo takes his shortsword, yeets it at the spider like a javelin, calls for "One metal!" and the spider falls dead.
Got my fighting spirit for that, man.

Sunday (Malva):
-"Oh no- They're... caffeinated!"
-Cal sent bombs in the mail, messenger not pleased

Friday
- Gym Class The Kalimba mod! It was super fun, even if we were sadly too late to save him? her? But the mod was really fun in terms of getting to Kalimba.
- Me and Ze are real stronk. Real stronk.
- Some Really Good RP with Gull on the way back to Holdfast. I got him to stay, my job is done.
-  All is quiet when we get back, keeping an eye on my boi. Rudi enlisted the help of Lexicus and Ceridwyn, though she made it clear to Ceri that it was fine if they just vibed.
- Spend the rest of the night vibing, patched up Theo. When everyone went to bed, me and Theo went into the woods because neither of us were tired. (We didn't get much)
- We were chased out of the woods by two halflings at like 5:30 in the morning. Wild. (They had an bow pointed at us but we were leaving anyway.)
Saturday Morning
- I think I got sleep, but only like, a couple hours.
- Around for both rituals, though didn't fully stick around to watch them.
- The Rakash got on us EARLY. Like, before breakfast. Barbarians don't need breakfast, who knew.

Saturday Afternoon/Evening
- Oh boy Godo. Godo. Just.. Godo. I was SHAKING that whole time. That fucked Rudi up, she's still not over it even though everyone (besides Sylvie, but she knew what she was doing) survived. Teak for mom of the year award.
- My GOD that save from Dmitri. Fucking. Wild.
- Lexicus getting himself poisoned and on fire. Good times.
- Spiders! Everyone crashed at like, 9, so it was just a few of us dealing with spiders.
- I try to get Roscoe out of webs, spider tries mauling me, I get poisoned. I resort to punching the spider puppet.
- Crashed at 12:30 along with Gull, Keket, and Kazuo... then woke up again at 4:30. F.

Sunday
- First time seeing slimes! I liked em.
- Cal sending us bombs in the mail. Bless him. At least the messenger was fine.
- Came in as Sean fairly early-on, he got the lowdown on Godo and people seemed to have liked the Ask Ginger segment, good <3. I'm glad the Leek is going over well in general.
- Charlotte seems nice! Went for a walk in the woods with them, Auron, Dmitri and Talia (mostly to give em a tour) then Rakash attacked. Rude.


My memory of game is, as always, pretty fuzzy. I may update again later.

Friday
-Participated in the Bird Hunt / Kalimba mod! Was crazy good and fun, felt like trying to navigate a movie-esque dungeon which was rad, shame we were too late to save them though Sad
-Don't think I did much else Friday, mod ran pretty late, no complaints though!

Saturday
-Got up at 6 to go gathering, with some others! found a lot of tracks, and a handful of rocks and things, was fun helping Degren with his bees and just hanging around with folks
-Saturday morning we spent a lot of time wondering when Godo was gonna arrive, we also spent a lot of time fighting Rakash. Got into a 1v1 honour duel sorta thing with one of them, had picked up Theo's mark for bypass, and used some states to focus power for 25 bypass, then got him with another couple hits, felt real good.
-Godo, was goddamn terrifying, holy shit I was not ready for that, killing Sylvie, dealing with Teek, I am not ready to meet him again next game
-Dimitri saving Gull from that killing blow with his shield was such a sick move, got my fighting spirit.
-Rakash stole my exceptional staff later that day, and Lexicus' sword, can't have shit in holdfast
-Salvation call during supper, yeah I can save whoever and get back before my chili gets cold I think, burst into the woods to find Degren and Co exterminating spiders, gotta be done now or we're gonna have them all night. about 30m later and a ton of webs and poison, we've killed the spiders, cold chili.
-Saturday night we had a handful of people come visit town which was a little odd, a bunch of them also had similar names all referencing alcohol, how suspicious.
-Ultimately nothing bad came from our visitors (yet) but damn was I paranoid

Sunday
-Got up, got some nice oatmeal, and headed back out with some folks for some more gathering
-Rakash traps, so many traps in the woods (but also some not bad stuff)
-Slime's? they could sorta inhabit things like a chair, or an arrow, or my staff and was funky, but apparently they taste good, just tough to figure out how to get em
-Cal sent a messenger with supplies! And explosives! hopefully we can put them to good use
-Lastly, seems like their voidmage started teleporting Rakash directly into town. Not knowing if one is gonna pop up right behind you kinda sucks, at least it's only 1 at a time so far.

Overall, fantastic game as always, I cannot wait to do it all again in 2 weeks!

A few stand-out moments this game.

- The whole obstacle course was so much fun. I was foolish and wore all of my armor thinking there would be a fight.

- Finally being able to blend and using it to sneak behind and take out Rob's Rakash archer solo.

- Deep personal talk with Gull, Gull leaves for one minute, comes back and I'm poisoned, bleeding out, and on fire.

- Bandage face.

- I felt true fear for the first time at game from Godo. I was also on 1 hour of sleep so brain was in a very weak state. Was 100% convinced the fey were all gonna die (even tho that may not have been the case). Teek was a badass.

May add more later.

-Holy cow was the bird mod fun! My first taste of physically participating, thanks to everyone for dealing with my unatheletic ass.

-On a similar note, Rosco killed his first spider. 🥺 The bow and arrow were a good choice, lots of fun to use (shout out Dave for helping me learn how to call damage because I've never had to before lmao).

-Dog jokes good. Gonna make Dog fetch Godo next time.

-Was fully like 19 seconds away from death with the slimes. What a rush and also terrible way to go.

-Godo is fucking terrifying and I thought I was about to witness a fey genocide.

-Took everything in me not to run over to Sylvie when she went down because that would be the most in character thing for Rosco to do. Instead he had to watch her die not knowing if she was bleeding out or already dead. 10/10 moment.

-Dimitri looked at me and went "Rosco, congratulations! You did not yell at Godo, you lived!" which was hilarious but did prompt an ig pout under a tree.

-Closely followed by, twenty minutes later, "Rosco, Dimitri is sorry for what he said. He was told he was insensitive." "It's fine, Dimitri." "Well this is awkward. Dimitri is poisoned and needs medical attention."

-Rosco and Ceridwynn are getting closer and closer each game and I do love that. 🥺 He now has friends within Holdfast who are not just my oog friends from the before times.

-Louis and Cedar. 10/10 fascinated by those birds and determined to get Rosco high animal husbandry/falconry.

Hoo Nelly! Lotsa stuff!

Friday Night
- Running that closed mod was SO MUCH FUN! First with players looking in ways I wasn't expecting. Both helpful and not helpful to the hunt.
- Then the dungeon crawl. Rob and I planned the details during our One Year Anniversary dinner. It was so much fun! I was very impressed with all of my players. Marcus never ceases to amaze and amuse.

- Coming in as Teek and becoming the impromptu therapist, even though it was Theo's song that initiated the breaking of the blind loyalty.

Saturday
- Watching two separate enchantments as everything is on fire and Val's just like *shrug* "Works for this enchantment" *continues* ~80 mana later and Val's done for the day. Every single mana was in my bra, Momma would be proud.

- Discussing the idea of trying to spook the Rakash with some psychic waves. Go into the woods, concentrate, scream many times, and the only ones that come find me are oog cast needing to ask some questions. Literally crawl my way back to the inn, both Theo and Talia look right past me in the woods, *whine* keep crawling.

- Godo...man Godo. Intentionally sitting in the back corner of the gazebo in hopes I'd be able to slip off and look for Sylvie's body. Nope, the honour guard kept patrolling around the gazebo.

- Watch Degren rock negotiations like a boss for the first bit then we make eye contact and out I go to talk with Godo. Did I mention I got cut open by Auron because of Godo? Because I got cut open by Auron because of Godo. Spoilers. Kinda sucked. Alex was a champ and took my clinging on to him for dear life in stride. "What do you see?" "Well, what you'd expect to see in a human Godo, guys and blood." He doesn't believe Auron and inspects for himself. Auron is accurate, Teek has blood and guts and gore in her squishy center.

- Godo gets tired of playing games? Existing around us? And starts to war path a little. I go Mom mode and it takes all the will power I, oog Sharon, have to not call Godo "young man".

- I end up sending him to his room without supper and promptly collapse from exhaustion. It was fun!

- Didn't realize just how tired I was until I came in as Miranda and ended up passing out in the back corner of the inn, whelp. Time for beddie bye.

Sunday
- Bloodied Messenger time! Did you know there are Rakash in these here woods? She was not having a good time. Even less so when slimes start attacking. Even, even, lesser so when she discovers she had been carrying FIFTEEN POUNDS OF EXPLOSIVES!

- Come back in as Teek and start to plan with the Guild.

Dang that was fun!

I'm a bit late, but oh well!

Friday night:
-Skeletons, skeletons, and some more skeletons! Banging and clawing on the windows until the handful of people in town come out and start dealing with us.
-“We need to crush their skulls! But we don’t have anything strong enough!” Some time goes by before the crew remembers there’s a blacksmithing kit on hand.
-Lots of swapping weapons and strategies back and forth with Sam as we came up with ways to keep skeletons interesting without going too crazy.
-Passed by the ongoing dungeon mod on my way to bed. Lots of stuff happening there.

Saturday morning:
-Stalking through the woods as early-morning Rakash, then lots of little fights in the field.
-Came out as a snake for a while; the first was near the inn and was slain pretty quickly. The dissection was quite thorough and some good RP. The other snakes stuck to the woods, and while they were noticed (I heard lots of shouting about them), no one came to hunt them down.
-It’s not an Epoch weekend without some dishes to wash.
-More Rakash, wave after wave. I was particularly impressed with Rob scaling the porch to flank y’all.
-Passing Sharon as she returned from an enchantment session, I think? She was carrying a LOT of mana.
-Time to break out the drum. Classic singing/chanting as we make our way into town.
-Godo yells from the woods, freaking us out, then enters town looking even more angry than usual. He promptly advances on Sylvie, and we get a big dramatic execution.
-The whole Godo interaction with the town. I’m very impressed that Degren managed to sorta-negotiate the way through that whole ordeal.
-Separating the humans from the fey, and Teek keeping Godo sorta at bay. Lots of tension.
-One word: cornbread.
-Trying to sneak into town as Al, and I hear someone ask “Is that a Rakash in the woods?” Someone responds “No, that’s an OOG ghost.” Oops Neutral
-Try again (without my headband this time) and get immediately threatened by the crew on the porch. “Which way is it to Applevale?” Gets pointed towards Godo’s camp. “Okay, what’s the fastest OTHER way to Applevale?”
-Eventually gave my story of a runaway Rakash, and got a little sympathy, though also some suspicion. That’s understandable. Until…
-“Ale, Hops, and Mead. They all have themed names! GET THEM OUT!” A very interesting (incorrect) conclusion!
-The best conversation yet was while people were trying to help Al. “Alright, he’s unconscious; cut his face off! Then I can regrow it.”
-After Al left, I came in for a bit as a guard, escorting the two princess ladies. Was getting pretty tired by then, so I went to bed not long afterwards.

Sunday:
-It’s not raining, but there’s enough humidity that water is running off the roof. Gross.
-OOZE MONSTER! This fight was so much fun. Possessed chair, coffee ooze, possessed axe, it was great. Also, overhearing the call “five java!”
-At one point, I also possessed an arrow, which quickly got hit and snapped in half. In the back of my mind, “I really should’ve seen that coming.” Sorry!
-Rested a bit until game ended. Was great to get back! Looking forward to next time.
