Aralis

[jjmarika]

The Aralis event was pretty awesome, and I am saying that despite there being utterly miserable weather for all of Saturday (until about 2:30 in the morning Sunday morning, when it randomly became kinda amazingly awesome and warm), and the fact that I managed to twist my ankle pretty good going up and down the stairs. Way to go, staff.

It sounds like everyone had a good time! Wish I was there.

"- realizing that most people in town managed to miss Fathom being deathed in the middle of the Garandi political mess, despite the fact that she was standing in the center of a group of people and the guy threw a death at her from 5 feet away. "

oooh really wish I was there. For the Politics.. not the death =P

It was (and remains) a little tense. And really, it is exceedingly lucky that Squint did not notice the death, or the violence that followed would probably have been worse.

This was one of those rare times that we wound up on opposite ends of the line, and it turned out to be a very good thing!

[jjmarika]

Yah. That probably would have been even more messy... cause clearly that wasn't bad enough on it's own.

I loved sharing a cabin with you guys - I hope we get to do so again! Assuming of course you'd want to. Though oddly and sadly the weather actually meant I spent less time there than expected.

I'm so sad I had to leave early - so many things unsaid that needed to be said! :)

[jjmarika]

I very much enjoyed sharing a cabin with you. Hopefully we can do it again sometime. Maybe even when it's warm enough that we want to actually spend time there. :)

And yeah... talking needs to happen. Killed me a bit that you had to leave early on Sunday.

[tressum]

Yeah, and worse that there was no good way to spin that ingame. Najita wanted to avoid the conflict? Of course, maybe the Feydakin snatched me away for a good talking to. ;)

[jjmarika]

I think the IG excuse we used was 'she had family stuff to attend to', which is sort of accurate?

Deathed by the Garandi? Ooo there would have been some FIREWORKS over that...

So I take it Niocolaus was driven off with minimal casualties? Course now he's zeroed in on New Liberty...great.

Be well.

[dunriver]

I can only imagine the mess had you been there for the confrotation with the Garandi.

I can't wait to tell Phoenix about 'the worst plan ever to work' and how we used it to drive off Nicolaus for the time being. You'll love it ;-)

[jjmarika]

Ooo there would have been some FIREWORKS over that...

Given that the fireworks surrounding that incident were pretty epic on their own, it's probably just as well that Phoenix wasn't there to see it and that Squint missed it entirely.

So I take it Niocolaus was driven off with minimal casualties?

Yeah, it went way better than we had any right to expect. We need to talk a lot at some point.

[jjmarika]

Oh, and remind me to ask you about a job that (I think/hope) you arranged some time ago? An NPC came in asking for an update, and I didn't have a clue what the fuck he was talking about. It may have been from the event when I was stoned? Maybe?

"...and she had them sing, not to the whales, but to the really big whales, who some call dragons. And lo and behold, the dragon whales heard them!"

Oh my goodness, that was perfectly hilarious when you translated it! Much snickering ensued.

Also, "Let's go to couch!".

C.O.U.C.H. - what a fitting acronym. :)

Was glad to go along on some late-night excursions with you, and to be in on bad plans for how to get Fathom away from the huge undead. Lots of fun. And I hope your ankle continues to get better!

[jjmarika]

and to be in on bad plans for how to get Fathom away from the huge undead.

Yeah, those were some epically bad plans. Fathom was exceedingly unhappy with those plans, even if she agreed to go along at the time. Yay not having to use them!

Fails for this weekend included not being able to remember/use my stats effectively.

Oh, I'm sure many of us are in that boat. I would survive so much longer if I remember that I have things like parries and avoids at the right moments...

[jjmarika]

:nods: It's true. I mean, I forget useful stuff all the time.

It's just that this weekend, I couldn't seem to remember anything useful I could do...
