The Vigesimi Masquerade Ball

[Sulaika]

Hi. I would like to know that too. Haven't seen Tazen in game lately.

[Tazen]

Hey everyone, the ball is still on as planned.

[LigH]

Then it would be nice to see it in the Calendar...

[cdmoreland]

Well, at least, Waesed and Jerada learned some dance steps.

[Sen]

There were very creative costumes. I wonder if some would be willing to post them here.
Also, thanks for making the event. Alone preparing the decoration probably took quite some time.

[LigH]

I believe the GMs did not understand the "living twines" costume; I can't understand why it didn't win.

No, that was not mine.

[Illysia]

So what happened?

[LigH]

People in disguise met, ate, drank, danced, flirted ... got stabbed and arrested ... then received rewards and unmasked ... I believe. It was late for me.

[Roled]

So glad it happened, so bummed RR didn't get to appear in his Edwardian vampire costume... screenshots would be greatly appreciated, and any plots and STABBING? details too

* Roled has PS withdrawl pains...

Yeah for the GMS and the players!!!!!      
the insubstantial RR

[LigH]

Amidison Stronghand and Datal Allavium were present as Vigesimi. And as guard also Hunor Csolt ... Csolt, hmmm ... a relative of Denes?

The winners were Grundig (a dwarf in a made-up Kran shell) as best single costume and Gimikisa with Wymmahr (a Gobble and a Maulbernaut) as best couple.

And here a brief summary of the incident:

Kwynsin looks over to the vine-lady with a smile behind the cowl "Oh...you are in search of a partner? Me too."
...
Kwynsin reaches out to take the vine-lady's hand politely.
...
Rerat examines Kwynsin for a moment, then takes his hand with what seems to be a smile.
...
Kwynsin looks over the vine-lady, still smiling as they begin to dance together.
...
Rerat's vines start to slowly spin around her body as she dances.
Kwynsin continues the routine, dipping her occasionally with a smile on his face "You dance well, madam. A gift of Xiosia, I say."
Rerat says: Xiosia bestows her gifts wisely, then.
Rerat winks at Kwynsin.
Kwynsin smirks and continues to dance with the maiden
...
Kwynsin reaches inside his robes with one hand mid-dance-routine, while he is dipping her with his other arm.
...
Rerat keeps dancing with Kwynsin, she fully concentrates on the music.
...
Kwynsin takes out something as he is doing a dance step with her and brings the arm he is holding something with around behind her, taking the arm from behind her and using it to take her hand gently.
...
Rerat takes hold of Kwynsin's hand and does a full spin in the rythm of the music.
...
Kwynsin smirks to Rerat as she does this, still keeping his other arm clear of her.
...
Kwynsin continues to dance with the lady, using the hand that's not holding something to hold her by the hand while using the other arm for support as needed.
...
Kwynsin continues to dance with the vine-lady
...
Kwynsin dips the vine-lady again, then brings her back up. He flicks the shiv from the backhanded, against-the-arm grip that he was using to a forehand grip and tries to drive it into the vine-lady's kidney as she stands.
...
Rerat is hit by the shiv, as it pierces her body she shrieks and stumbles backwards, staring in disbelief at the blood dripping out of the wound.
Grundig says: No!
Amidison flicks her eyes to the guard.
Gimikisa looks up at the shreik
Kwynsin pulls the shiv free and lowers the crumpling form of the maiden to the ground.
Rerat looses her footing and falls backwards against the bar.
Amidison says: Guard, deal with that.
Rerat is bleeding out of a wound on her stomach.
Wymmahrr says: What is the matter?
Hunor looks around for signs of trouble
Kwynsin lets go of the maiden as she staggers backwards and tucks the shiv back under his cloak, then heads for the exit.
Grundig starts lumbering forward towards the wounded woman.
Wymmahrr says: Oh no!
Gimikisa says: I heard someone shriek in pain
Brylas says: stop him!!
Ashtera turns towards the shriek and hears Amidison's command to the guard.
Hunor locks the door
Noumo shouts: Guards
Brylas says: he stabs the lady!
Wymmahrr says: There! He is moving to the door!
Gimikisa says: There by the bar
Amidison points to the fleeing party-goer.
Wymmahrr says: Poor woman
Noumo says: Lock the door!
Hunor shouts: "Point him out to Kra!"
Gimikisa says: Here hold pressure on the wound
Rerat's vines stop moving as she looses her consciousness, yet a faint aura of magic radiates from a medaillon on her neck as she does so.
Mugral says: Well now; this is likely to spoil evveryone else's appetite; shame
Tyfan calls the guard and points at the fallen parygoer
Grundig leans forward as best he can in the suit and starts casting. He is immediately surrounded byan intense white light, which moves forward and surrounds Rerat.
Gimikisa says: We need a healer
Brylas says: the one in front of you
Loopa says: Who did it to her?
Amidison points to Kwynsin.
Waoki shouts: A medic!
Brylas says: he did
Brylas points
Wymmahrr says: That klyros that was dancing with her
Kwynsin simply glares at the Kran.
Waoki shouts: Loss of blood, unconciousness.
Gimikisa says: I am putting pressure on the wound
Lytoza pulls a cloth from her bag and presses it over the wound a blood splatters on her gown
Akar starts growling at Kwynsin
Golan says: dear help the wounded
Hunor attempts to grab Kwynsin by the hand and force him on the ground
Gimikisa says: We need a healer, someone quick
Amidison says: I saw him do it, Guard Hunor. Deal it with it immediately.
Tyfan says: i suggest taking them to the hospital right away.
Kwynsin tries to pull free, but is thrown to the ground in the process.
Wymmahrr shouts: Is there a healer present?
Loopa says: Take his wing off
Brylas looks around
Noumo says: Might I be of help. I am a crystalway master
Hunor says: "This one here Lady Amidison?" points at Kwynsin
Wymmahrr says: Yes please try and help her
Tyfan kneels and tries to comfort the injured party.
Brylas says: yes he's the one
Loopa shouts: Are you sure music is the best thing now Paresan?
Gimikisa says: Here, look at the wound
Brylas nods
Tristeria nods to Golan, seeming stunned and shocked over what just happend, then walks over to Rerat, "I am a master healer as well."
Amidison nods, glaring at the klyros.
Grundig continues pouring healing energy into Rerat.
Amidison says: It is.
Wymmahrr says: Please help her
Gimikisa moves to the side to let the healer work
Rerat's wound starts to close as the healing energy enters her body, the bleeding ebbs as it does so.
Wymmahrr says: How is she?
Tyfan watches the skillful healing
Akar eyes Kwynsin warily and continues growling softly
Hunor starts pushing Kwynsin out while firmly folding him
Wymmahrr holds Gimikisa close
Brylas says: carfull, I think he still has the knife
Mugral says: Now we can safely call this a MAD Ball
Wymmahrr says: Are you alright? Not scared too much?
Gimikisa tears falling down mask hugs the maulbernaut close
Kwynsin is dragged out the door.
Wymmahrr says: OH my Sweet
Wymmahrr holds her tenderly and tightly
Gimikisa says: Oh, love, I am getting blood on your beautiful costume
Wymmahrr says: Never mind the costume
Wymmahrr rubs Gimikisa over her back
Tristeria looks Rerat over, gazing at Grundig, then concentrates on her crystal magic. She starts to channel her healing magic into the wound too.
Loopa says: this table will need repair
Rerat blinks a few times as she regains consciousness, she breathes very slowly and appears to be quite exhausted. Blood is all over the floor and her costume.
Brylas says: who was he? anyone know?
Akar shakes his head slowly
Gimikisa says: Will she be all right?
Wymmahrr says: I think so Sweet.
Ashtera shrugs as he watches the guard drag the Klyros out, "Be happy we are in Hydlaa. Had this been held in Ojaveda knifes would have been more prominent than people, I'm afraid."
Wymmahrr says: Her eyes are opening and she is breathing
Tyfan sighs with relief
Amidison turns back to the gathering and begins to whisper to her colleague.
