Favorite Moments Event 4 2018

[Solapse]

There was no thread for this, so I made one.

[Tim-Director]

My favorite moment was the culmination of seven events of meticulous planning, which ended in a mod with Total Player Kill. Yep, indeed.

"King Lord Flanstrom is saddened..." - Fiddus Flanstrom

"Is this the one where Azuroth and Makat take over the world?" - Not-Therru

NotCyrus and NotStephen and the triple take.

Barulan diplomacy going waaaaay different than all of the potentially anticipated scripted outcomes.

"69 AR Medrim 1!" - Rithian Per Manilus

"No! We will succeed! Kammatt will be seated! The Rigmorn will arrive!" - Ozir, right before getting RUINED.

Attritious crying. Thanks, Kierdyn.

"Hey Mordecai, can you go get your Mime?" - Randall

[Mordecai]

Forcing the Sarth ritualists who set up magical traps to use rituals to take then down.

Reflecting a Magic Charm at Jeff, who proceeded to scream and die, followed by many jokes of death being a preferable alternative to friendship with Mordecai.

"Protect your Queen!" - Leadrin

Justifiable arson.

Learning just how frunked we'd be if/when we fight Flanstrom. Hint: Very.

Coming to the inevitable conclusion that Kierdyn intentionally sent us all to our deaths. Goddamn amazing.

While on a Toklin mod, giving myself a magic item. Thanks, me, you handsome devil.

"On your knees." - Mordecai

"Just follow the lines." - Go'Ran

[Tim-Director]

OH YEAH! I had forgotten me as Sarth Soldier #7, saying "That's the Queen! The blue mystic! Not the other one, she's too raggedy looking."

"You told me to give this to you later."
"When?"
"Five minutes ago."
Mordecai and Shirian

Shirian and Josephus discussing the Glibben.

[Solapse]

Merry, Innumate, & Doctor Dax ambushing me in my bed to cure me.

Trying to help Not-Therru get his bearings within the web of all possibility.

Stefan ritualist: "I was doing a divination and saw someone with a green cloak that needed assistance."
Solapse: "Oh no, I've been wearing this black side out! That must be why I haven't been able to get any help the past few rises!"

Having a ward on our ward.

Drago keeping the bar secure.

Being part of the *other* TPK mod.

[Leadrin Winters]

Hard conversations with Very Important Friends.

Zen: Leadrin will you give me drown?
Me: Absolutely not...WAIT. I have a BETTER idea.

"Wait, which one's the queen? It can't be that one, she's too ratty". Cue me and Peruna glancing at each other and busting a gut laughing. "Defend your queen" was a continuing joke for the rest of the weekend. 10/10 would be a heavily-armored decoy again. Bonus points for Peruna whipping out her one water-based healing spell.

Sarth guy: Go home!
Us: You go home!
Sarth guy: This will be our home!
Us: Oh, honey...

"Wizard" duels, and also "I wizard you to death one..."

"I invoke the right of favor owed to me by the Winter King."

"Do the double Krosan sex," because I'm sorry, were you expecting Crossroads downtime to be PG?

Explaining "the plan" to Randall. "Just wait until you hear the real plan..."

Drago defending the bar. Never have we seen him so heroic, so committed, so inspired...

Rocking the Saturday night Kammat fight, bouncing back and fourth between being an armored one-man rescue team outside and emergency death-be-gone inside.

"Don't look at me!" Zen's daughter, struggling to clear a large log while wearing a fishtail dress.

[Merry]

Definitely ambushing Solapse with Dax and Innumate to cure him with an injection of mashed grubs and Rubys

The Dungeon Song in Deaths Realm

Future Death.

Arcturius: "you just need a dummy Mook to be your squire, serve you food, like honorable slavery"
Drimm: "so do you want a job?"

[ellmann]

So, not to be all sappy, but damn, I missed this community. Seeing everybody was probably the best part of the weekend for me.

That said.. yeah, there're a few moments from the weekend -- some in-game, some oog-- that really stood out.

-Making up a ritual on the fly on the walk from monster camp into town.

-Keeping up my record of effectively NEVER seeing Hopan.

-The look of "oh crap this is bad" people have on their face when they're in a small room with a big elemental.

-Player reactions about 45 seconds after "King Lord Flanstrom is saddened..."

-Being NotTherru, twelve years after a mod told me I would be.

-Baking some really awesome biscuits.

-Having a family.

-Getting to be Therru again... and the joy so many people showed at Therru & Emily showing up together.

-Starving to death, only to get hit with a Life spell.

-Watching PCs fight by all possible means, not giving up even when they realized it was futile.

-Using some seriously iffy zealot logic during a rite.

-At long last, embracing my inner Jon Dearborn.

-"He was louder."

-"Tuberculosis is sexy."

[Kierdyn]

Dungeon Song in Deaths Realm <3

Not giving up when definitely doomed

Hearing about Merry's new commission work

Using life on two unexpected people

*Listens carefully, scowls* "no they didn't"

Talking Therru into being irresponsible

*Whispers* "frunk you"
*inappropriate laughter*

"Don't look at me!"

"You don't know your incant?!?"
"You know nothing; you were unconscious."
"Krosan."
"By the balance of spirit, I fortify this spirit."
"Nevermind, yep, I heard nothing."

Draining Stefan when he got too close to me.

"Have you been carrying that around the whole time?"
"Yes."

Never understanding why I'm the mime.

Probably more, but Im getting scared of the time out happeningp, and I'm too lazy to copy over to a doc.
