The First Annual Flame Festival (Changes to Location and Bard Challenge)

[Tsukige Malqir]

I would really like to participate in the joust. My IC wife, Yukari Shirogane is going to be (possibly unwillingly) signed up for the pie-eating contest, since she likes food. C: She will participate, so long as she can make it, I promise.

[Erik Mynhier]

UPDATE

 

Check out the 2nd post to see the changes to the Bard event made by our very own Master Bard Nathen.

[Erik Mynhier]

A little more then a week away. Hope you all have a good time.

[Steel Wolf]

Looks like, as a result of my PTO getting approved, I'll be able to attend. C:

 

I have an event idea but I dunno exactly how well received it's be and I have literally nothing of worth to offer as a prize. That said, here's my think.

 

HUGGED BY A MOUNTAIN

 

Basically it's a contest of strength....of one's ribs. Contestants approach my Roe self and get three hugs. If the contestant can withstand these bone-crunching feats of adoration, they win a prize. Each side rolls a /random, and if the contestant wins at least two of these three rolls, they get a something.

 

Lemme know what you think. And I'll see ya at around 7pm EST-ish.

Bring it sister! Honestly everyone is welcomed to come and have a good time and/or set up a thing or mini-event. I just ask you pass it along to your friends and get the word out as much as possible.

[Toff Vaughnn]

Ah greetings there Erik. Name be Toff and if ye need someone to work an open bar at the event let me know. I do business with Clio and she can vouch for me about what I can brew and how I serve the drinks. If so please, let me know.

Here's a quick bit of info for the bacchus shots, Flame Festival edition!

Showcased drink: The fall cider, a special home brew provided by Toff Vaughnn

An apple cider with a bit of peppers and spiced roots into it. Sweet to hide the flavor but a good enough poison to put a light weight on it's ass.

 

Though I'm still keeping the list around 20, there's NO need to sign up before the event and NO entry fee, that's right; this one's totes a freebie I'll also be giving away three different prizes to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

Also here's a quick rundown of the rules for those that need em

 

 

 

First off, I want to keep this a bit loose and fun. Contestants will be rolling against each other. Two - four contestants to a match, (however many are grouped off) with each having 3 HP each. Lowest number takes a hit (thus removing one point) and any ties will be an re-roll for any player that's got the same number. Rolls of course are done with the /random emote.

 

To keep it fun the contestants are free to, and encouraged to flavor text their drinks (/em). When a contestant has lost feel free to describe either passing out, throwing up,....or whatever else they want to say. (This is half the fun of it; so when someone gets a final losing roll; go all out with the reaction. ;3 )This will continue until there is one player left, they will be determined winner.

 

*keep an eye out for Toff Vaughnn and the rest of his group, they have other drinks they'll be selling through the duration of the Flame Festival. ;3

[Garalona]

I'm down for the pie eating contest, and will probably drop by for the shots contest, too.

 

Poor Gara.

[PhantasticPanda]

Oh I can't wait. Also, the event appears to be very long. Do we know when the actual competitions are happening, time-wise? I'd like to know when I could take an RP break in between events seeing as how I signed up for more than one

[Leanne]

Entering shots contest and pie contest! Gotta eat 'em all!

[Telluride]

Gonna enter the herald's challenge? You get to represent yourself, since you are competing in the other events.

Suppose it doesn't hurt? Although Leanne sucks at self promoting xP

[Star Lin]

So as of right now, I'm on vacation.  I'll be there on Kestlona and John (switching between the two, depending on who is on at the time).  I was thinking of throwing John at Clio's mercy with the shot competition but he'll be healing at Grindstone later that night so it wouldn't do for him to be drunk/sick.

[Erik Mynhier]

Here we are the Festival is today. And I know its late in the game but rl has been taking me to the woodshed this week.

 

Here's our scheduled

Pie Eating Contest: 4pm

Bard Challenge: 6pm

The Joust: 8pm

 

See you all there.

[FreelanceWizard]

I wish I could come but... I have a LARP today. :blush:

[Telluride]

Herald's Challenge is at 6pm EST - All you professional performers, roustabouts, attention mongers, divas and vocal extroverts, be there!

[PhantasticPanda]

Aww damn, I regret to say this but I'll have to bow out the Bard's Challenge with my lil bard-mage this time around. I can't make that one for sure. Should be able to make the pie and jousting one though. So cross out Zanzan Yanzan from the Bard's Challenge. But good luck to the others!

[Proud Dahlia]

If it's not too late, I would like to register for the pie eating and shots contests.

[Tali]

Just finished uploading screenshots from the Sunny Seaside Bar that was held at the Festival tonight!  From what we saw up above, it looked (And looks, 'cause it's still going on) great fun!  A huge thanks for letting us shift the bar across the seas for a night, and an equally huge thanks to everyone that came to visit us up atop the cliff-side view. It was great seeing some new faces at the bar, and awesome seeing some old ones in a new location!

(Apologies for some shots being in 1080, while others are in 4k.  I forgot to switch from RP-friendly to screenarchery resolutions for the tour around the festival until part-way through.)

 

[Telluride]

Congrats to Ciciru Ciru, Leanne Delphium, Khuja'sae Fashonti, and Odette Saoirse for rocking the Herald's Challenge and walking off richer, making us richer in spirit in the process.

[Kasumi]

I had an absolute blast, even if I had to AFK after the pie bit. 

 

Can't wait to hear about the Starlight Ball! Thank you again!

[Telluride]

Thanks to Koporo's dutiful log-keeping, we present to you the performances of the Flame Festival's Herald's Challenge.

 

Note that in posting this, we announce Jancis Milburga as the winner of the Pie-Eating contest, and popular subject for our heralds. Jancis, this one's going to follow you, my dear.

 

(Advertisements for Toff Vaughn's libations and specialty drinks included, because... bards. That's what we like.)

 

Part 1: Introduction and First Contestant - Ciciru Ciru

[16:53]Nathan Telluride: cups his hands around his mouth."Heralds, bards, ladies and gentles! The Herald's Challenge begins shortly! If I could call all of our heralds to me at the center of the pavilion to be recognized, and to prepare to be heard?"

 

[16:56]Nathan Telluride: (please send me a /tell if you are competing as a herald and I have not already acknowledged you)

 

[16:56]Toff Vaughnn: "Ladies and Gents. Sorry to be oflate arrival but, If ye are thirst and want some specialized poisons (alcohol), please don't be shy. I'll be be to the side of the main events. Just look for the Blue Bird."

 

[16:59]Nathan Telluride: (Last call for the Herald's challenge! We have four competing Herald acts, and room for more! Send me a /tell if you wish to compete!)

 

[17:02]Toff Vaughnn: "To those who have a thirst that even Leviathan can't quell come on over to try the special brews I have brought to this lovely gathering. Just look for the Limsan Blue Bird."

 

[17:05]Nathan Telluride: "Welcome to the Herald's Challenge! We have four declared Heralds today, who will brag of their champions, be they others or themselves, and you, the audience, are called after the show to choose the winners!"

 

[17:06]Nathan Telluride: "And I may need my own herald to help..." He pets the kitten at his feet. "I will call up each herald, who will have 3-5 minutes for the presentation. When you are called up, please tell the crowd who you are, who you represent, and then brag and boast on that person for our entertainment!"

 

[17:08]Nathan Telluride: "First, we have a petite and potent herald to start us off!" He looks at Ciceru. "Please, step up and tell all!"

 

[17:09]Ciciru Ciru: "My name is Ciciru Ciru an' I'm gonna tell a limerick about Jancis, the Pie-Eatin' Queen!"

 

[17:09]Ciciru Ciru: "There was a good woman named Jancis,"

 

[17:09]Ciciru Ciru: "Who admired the jousters and lances"

 

[17:10]Ciciru Ciru: But when she heard about pie,"

 

[17:10]Ciciru Ciru: "Sign me up!" she did cry!

 

[17:10]Ciciru Ciru: "Her small size, though, drew snickerin' glances.'

 

[17:10]Ciciru Ciru: " This vision in blue we call Jancis?"

 

[17:10]Ciciru Ciru: Well no pie could resist her advances!"

 

[17:10]Ciciru Ciru: " She picked savory and sweet,"

 

[17:10]Ciciru Ciru: "they all went down a treat!"

 

[17:10]Ciciru Ciru: " but with curry she didn't take chances."

 

[17:11]Ciciru Ciru: "This pie-eatin' queen known as Jancis"

 

[17:11]Ciciru Ciru: " Ate them pies til she bursted her pantses!"

 

[17:11]Ciciru Ciru: " Fruit, chocolate an' cream,"

 

[17:11]Ciciru Ciru: "Was a pie-contest's dream!"

 

[17:11]Ciciru Ciru: " So off with her prize kitten she prances. So off with her prize kitten she prances!"

 

[17:11]Ciciru Ciru: THE END!

[Telluride]

Part II: Our second performer, a wonderful fixture in the bard community, Leanne Delphium.

[17:12]Nathan Telluride: "Wonderful! What a start!"

 

[17:13]Nathan Telluride: "And another comely lass to catch our eyes and ears!" He beckons to Leanne.

 

[17:14]★Leanne Delphium: "Hello! My name is Leanne Delphium! And pardon the arrogance, I will sing about...myself." she giggles before tapping the well under her with her feet, creating a little humorous tempo.

Part III: Our sole gentleman contender, Khuja'sae The Sparrow:

 

---------------------------------------------------------

 

[17:19]Nathan Telluride: "And the competition remains fierce! Now, let's see a gentleman of fine bearing ascend and give us his own performance!" He beckons to Khuja'sae.

[Telluride]

Part IV: The fetching and bold Odette Saoirse

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

[17:26]Nathan Telluride: "And for our final performer -a long, cool woman in a fine hat!" He beckons to Odette.

 

[17:26]Odette Saoirse: Odette takes to the stage with sauntered confidence, the sea faring bard dipping in a flourished bow for those present. With lute in hand she offers a strum, a single note to announce her presence and draw attention to she as she states, "My name is Odette du Saoirse, but ye can just call me Odie. I'm also representin' Janice of t'Black Shroud, Pie Eatin' extraordinare!" A dramatic pause is given, followed by another attention-grabbing strum. "This is her story."

 

[17:26]Odette Saoirse: *A strum of the lute is followed by several, each deft flick of the wrist bringing to the fore a jaunty harmony of notes that danced and weaved together to form the foundation for which sung word accompanied with dazzling smile.*

 

[17:27]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “The beast was tall, tall as could be,” [♪]

 

[17:27]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Pan to mound, taller than that tree!” [♪]

 

[17:27]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Scales baked brown like the darkest crust,” [♪]

 

[17:27]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “It needed be slain, ‘twas a must!” [♪]

 

[17:28]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “And so came eight with quickened pace,” [♪]

 

[17:28]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Men and women, marching in haste.” [♪]

 

[17:28]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Drawingc utters, and knives, and claw,” [♪]

 

[17:29]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Hence thrown themselves at pastry maw.” [♪]

 

[17:29]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Valiant in battle, each fell,” [♪]

 

[17:29]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Save the brunette who fought through hell,” [♪]

 

[17:29]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Here’s her tale, Janice Milburga,” [♪]

 

[17:30]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “This day she battled with fervor! [♪]

 

[17:30]Odette Saoirse: [♪]Eight cried out “Lettuce carrot home victory!”[♪]

 

[17:30]Odette Saoirse: [♪]And the eight were raddished contradictory[♪]

 

[17:30]Odette Saoirse: [♪]Only one warrior leeked through the green fight[♪]

 

[17:31]Odette Saoirse: [♪]Who turnips after all? Janice, all pie’s blight![♪]

 

[17:31]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “First projectiles shade of berries,” [♪]

 

[17:31]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Flung along, reddest of cherries,” [♪]

 

[17:31]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Dip and weave, our heroine ducked,” [♪]

 

[17:31]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Another was from battle plucked.” [♪]

 

[17:32]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Their numbers dwindled one by one,” [♪]

 

[17:32]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Beneath heat of sweltering sun,” [♪]

 

[17:32]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “None matched the woman's tolerance,” [♪]

 

[17:32]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Thecheering crowd her audience.” [♪]

 

[17:33]Odette Saoirse: [♪]Eight cried out “Lettuce carrot home victory!”[♪]

 

[17:33]Odette Saoirse: [♪]And the eight were raddished contradictory[♪]

 

[17:33]Odette Saoirse: [♪]Only one warrior leeked through the green fight[♪]

 

[17:33]Odette Saoirse: [♪]Who turnips after all? Janice, all pie’s blight![♪]

 

[17:33]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Weapon aside, the beauty launched!” [♪]

 

[17:34]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Teeth and claws pierced succulent haunch.” [♪]

 

[17:34]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Flurried bites rendered beast helpless,” [♪]

 

[17:34]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Jan Pie-Bane: moves smooth as velvet.” [♪]

 

[17:34]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “She bi tthrough butter berry tart,” [♪]

 

[17:34]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “Each strike precise, a work of art.” [♪]

 

[17:34]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “With Nophica’s gift upon me!” [♪]

 

[17:35]Odette Saoirse: [♪] “I have a flawless victory!” [♪]

 

[17:35]Odette Saoirse: [♪]Only one warrior leeked through the green fight[♪]

 

[17:35]Odette Saoirse: [♪]Who turnips after all? Janice, all pie’s blight![♪]

 

[17:36]Odette Saoirse: A grin and a bow sees the woman jump down from her perch. "Thank ye fer listenin'."

 

[17:36]Nathan Telluride: "A final round of applause for all four of our heralds!"
