Seven Virtues Highlights!
Seven Virtues Highlights:
My Graceling Cat. Nothing to do with the game, but most of my event was colored by the fact that there was this sweet friendly "Aetherial Kitten/Cat" that was obviously not a part of a steady home who was "camping the campers" at the site to try to get enough food and warmth to survive. She visited the Caer Droiga pavilion on Friday evening and Saturday for attention and food. Torrin couldn't in good heart leave her to starve when the camp shut down, even though he was at capacity in his home; when she hopped and curled up on my lap and the heart-shape patch on her back was apparent to me, I decided she couldn't be left either, and I volunteered to take her into my petless (but cat-friendly) apartment. I learned on Sunday that Peregrine Hall had taken her in Friday night, and that a few other players were deeply concerned with this cat's welfare. She stayed with Torrin and I in our tent on Saturday night. We got a cat-carrier on Sunday morning, and I spent the rest of Sunday from after my Wisdom test to game-off in knots trying to find her to usher into the cat carrier to take her home with me. Thankfully she came out from under the Library/Bloody Knave at about 2, just after the battle, stretching herself. Silly thing had ignored my calls for the past 2 hours; and I was so anxious until I swooped her into the carrier without her realizing what was happening. I named her Grace "Gracie" Underfoot, and she currently at home with me, resting and rehabbing and totally relaxed.
Lostwood Joins the War. So our meeting to visit VIPs of the Lostwood turned out to be barging in on a whole Council Session to make the case for the Lostwood to join forces with the rest of Armandy against the Mahori. We were grilled; we found reasons to throttle Puzzlewell. We did our best, which was pretty awesome in convincing them that engagement was necessary. Then as the night grew late, Valacar and I and several other Lostwooders were summoned again, we assumed for some sort of announcement. We followed down a path and came into the presence of the Lady Regent of the Lostwood in a multi-colored grotto. It was the peak of my 7V experience to gaze upon her face and tell her that the reason that the world should be saved was because for all the suffering and factions, it was still beautiful, and I loved it all. When the Lady Regent declared that the Lostwood must join the war effort against the Mahori, we were all in joyful tears, hugging and kissing each other (with Rune kissing the hem of the Lady's sleeve and dress a couple of times!). Keeping that declaration a secret until the end of the summoning of Raolin was rather difficult.
Dealing with Atticus Webb. So armed with the blessing of Coal to bring Atticus to Justice as my Mastery Project, Seril aided a great deal by using his contacts between practicums to seek out the hearth that Atticus was allied with. We were able to capture the individuals he was working with, and after they were interrogated/co-opted in helping, we were able to follow Atticus to his lair and apprehend him. No further details, as they have IG ramifications still, but I appreciated the entire set-up and the patience of the NPCs as we were sneaky and trying to negotiate how to deal with the situation.
