Event 4 Favorite Moments

[Andrea]

In some semblance of chronological order:

-Brock in monster camp on Friday night realizing that a role he had signed up for was happening and going full method, listening to videos of the guy he was going to be aping for literally hours and practicing in the mirror. He had us all cracking up.

-Jeff's retelling of walking into Woolard cabin as a spirit to hook the death dream.
*guns cocking*
"Clarify: you can see the lanturn"
"What the hell is going on?!"

-"Truly, the porcupine is the most Thrannish of creatures--spiky and drunk."

-Everything about that Saturday morning Separatist compound raid with the Woolard crew. Y'all are crazy. Also, "You don't use tools very often, do you mister Woolard..."

-"Y'all didn't tell me you have a dire moose that walks like a man."

-Awaiting Marten and Isaac to return from the tavern, when we see a DIFFERENT robot and guy with a big hat walk out. I'm pretty sure the Dutchess's line was "Well that's kind of them, except southern and poncey..."

-The mountains of speculation that was thrown around this event, some of which we didn't even anticipate but was very interesting.

-The fact that every single Khadan player seemed immediately engaged by the fact that there was  a Khadan festival going on. We continue to appreciate how committed to your cultures you all seem to be.

-After about three Tarot readings, turning to Tom and asking "So how is the merchanting going?" and getting immediately handed a stack of cash thicker than my deck.

-Also, I continue to love Tarot cards for how on-the-nose they get, independent even of how you spin them. That said, it does certainly help to know all of your backstories and plot.

-Finding out what specific purpose the carved tooth bracelet was purchased for.

-That moment when we didn't need to hook the major fight of Saturday because you guys hooked it yourselves. Well done.

-Finding out the extremely petty reason why Isaac has apparently sworn vengeance against the Maiden.

-The best 5-minute mod ever:
[redacted] I just feel like these Expeditioners are just a bunch of killers...
[redacted] *busts open the door* Killers, yes!
And then the paperwork...

-Getting drafted for some creepy bard shit.

-The reactions to the realm of death.

-"Oh, you mean the cyanide pill in a pendant."

“in other words, my Constitution, Charisma, Wisdom, Dexterity, and Strength”

“As I went down to the river to pray,
Studying about that good old way”

Late nights with the Mayor and the Magnar

The truths we know

Maybe the cocaine pumpkin monster. It was… memorable, if nothing else.

Every time Spruce said “Who”

Meeting with the Maiden and watching the spirits interact.

Fighting alongside our “Althaenian Araris”, Jack.

Wayne's insanely good luck at cards.

My spot-on tarot reading.

When Wally basically said, “dude looks like a lady”.

Wishing I had gambled on Araris for 2 minutes, instead of safely investing my money on him for 1 minute.

Making too many connections.

Truth Circle was best circle (or triangle?)

Leading my first theoretical Ritual and being scared out of my mind I was going to accidentally blow up two blight hearts directly behind me.

how meticulously I wanted to draw the theoretical ritual circle

"I *made* the Eldritch and don't fluently read it!"

asking for a drink of water before completely changing my accent to Mid-Atlantic

The radio music playing when Araris went to death was so perfect. i felt like I was in a noir film just heavily drinking and choking down my emotions.

"unbearable heat!" pfft no heat is unbearable to a Rhavmani Fire Thaumaturgist

"Oh you mean Wayne?" "Wayne?! WAYNE BOGS!!!"

any interaction between phil and adam in character is always best. The ridiculous statements are too much.

Sparring with Mr. Woolard.

"Martin and Rashaad, we're going to take on the werewolf, everyone else keep us free to do that!"
5 mins later just unloading an Ignis Mutilus Ilis into Marco and letting the fight devolve into a beating party, then carrying away the trophy of his head on my Glaive.

"The Lady then summoned the Thaumaturgists, taking them away against their will." "That was voluntary..." "Against my will then."

After game learning that my idea that hearts were similar to growths on a tree when the tree gets sick, were in fact the inspirations for the props. I see you.
