>ask Ainandil about VegasCon
Ainandil says, "Have mercy!"

(This is long but there's a prize at the end for those who missed or couldn't attend due to dementia.)

First, a toast to Bubba. I'll buy the round (actually, I did buy the round. You're welcome), serve me water (Hege cut me off after I demonstrated my savant skill in Bar Stool Pratfalling. I later performed a similar maneuver whilst sober. It wasn't my fault they have defective barstools.).

Wow. Best. Vegas. Con. Possible.

>Nickels says, "We're glad pictures not."

>Oreana says, "Ow!!! . . . now that's nice."

Solsticia (sp?) gestures at Bubba.
Strands of sticky silk bounce harmlessly off Bubba and fall into thick puddles on the floor.
Bubba says, "You can't Web me, I'm a GM."

Solsticia says, "Get together, I want to take a picture."
>You lean against a tall wooden fence.
[Man?] comes and stands near you.
[Woman?] comes and stands near you.
[Man?] comes and stands near you.
(I was looking at the camera, I don't know who all she snookered.)
Solsticia gestures at y'all.
A veritable swarm of arachnids appear from nowhere to encase you in ropes of unynsilk.
>growl
You can't do that while webbed.
>complain
You can't do that while webbed.
>pray Tamsine
You can't do that while webbed.
You say, "That was . . . so wrong. You actually immobilized me . . . I can't believe I didn't think of it first."

You say, "Put your money away. It's my treat."
Meakah says, "You didn't even eat anything. You just had coffee."
Meakah ignores your attempt to nag.
You say, "Grrrrrrrr."
Meakah asks, "Are you growling?"
You say, "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

>ask Ainandil about alcohol
Ainandil says, "Never tell a bartender you'll drink whatever they pour." That last shot wasted me. I couldn't even stomach my brandy twelve hours later. Sigh.

Secret props to the male GM who nodded & told me exactly what I was going to say & wanted to hear when I mentioned a broken skill.

More to follow later, maybe. I have so many quotes, and most of them I can even post on the Prime boards. Mercy, mercy, mercy. Probably just blog it if I can remember my LJ pw. :\

If you weren't there, you missed out. Sorry.

Jackpot, let me know if your SN isn't "DR" followed by your name. Nickels or Luckwench or anyone has it. Hey! You're online! Yay!

Kyrla and Ghryla, that Ranger was Aldatir. Halfling. Wow, that's ancient, no? Props if you know his other claim to fame.

The Empath(s): I have your SNs written down & will deliver as promised once I've unpacked & freshened up. I smell like smoke. :(

Wavie, I'll bring you what I said I would asap. BTW, that was just hysterically funny & could not have happened to a nicer woman. I thought about offering a Be'ort's tear rose & scission blade at the auction but decided it might be viewed in poor taste. Maybe next year.

Krin: save the scavenger hunt for next year. I read & studied the list & starting thinking, but didn't play because I figured someone more creative would outshine me. D'oh!

Okay, the rest will have to be blogged. You're already tired of reading.

Cue the band and fade to loud.

Father Ainandil

A special treat for y'all:

"Realmsthumping"** by Krinahd and Taffei, to the tune of a possibly-recognizable Chumbawumba song.

(I don't know the intro.)

Chorus:

I get struck down,
But I get Raised again.
I'm never gonna circle now.
I get struck down,
But I get Raised again.
I'm never gonna circle now.

Verse:

Rejuvin' the fog away.
Rejuvin' the fog away.
I went to cougars,
I went to dryads,
I went to bobcats,
I went to nyads.

I tried to find something that would teach me,
Couldn't find a damn thing that wouldn't kill me.

Don't cry for me, I've got favors.

(Repeat chorus, verse, chorus, and fade out.)

** I had a title that was better, but I'm not sure whether I wrote it down or not.
