A Very big thank you to all
those who were able to make it out on Saturday and come together as a realm and
help those in need, as well as celebrate and fill our bellies!
Immediately upon entering, it was explained to
the adventurers that two types of ticket were going out; Red tickets were
issued from winning carnival games, and green issued from bringing can goods or
exchanging gold. These tickets could be spent on items in the auction based on
color. They were then given the opportunity to gamble at New Eden Casino, Play
carnival games at the Neden Rag Tag Game room, or meet with Curator Syruss and
receive a guided tour of the SmithNEDian (Neden's Museum of Magical artifacts)
The museum included a magic mirror the
adventurers could ask questions to, a pensieve, some sort of blue box of the
law, and many other rare artifacts.
Carnival games included Ring Toss, Plinko, Shoot
the Zombie (those three included a blue ribbon fragment as a prize should an
adventurer get a certain ring, or score), Pin the brain on the zombie, bag toss
and 3 Piñatas. Red tickets went out all day and people spent gold after gold
trying to win those precious blue ribbon pieces.
Appetizers included meatballs, cheese and
crackers, home roasted holiday nuts, two kinds of potato salad, as well as
green salad and a veggie platter.
Once everyone was seated, Lord Nymbous gave a
toast to those in attendance, and promoted Sir Syruss O'Leary of Neden to
Neden's first ever position of 'Duke'.
The spread included Turkey, Ham, Baked stuffed
chicken, Mac & Cheese, Mashed Potatoes, two types of stuffing, cranberry
sauce, vegetable medley and bread rolls. Lord Nymbous carved the first slice,
which went to Duke Syruss, after which Neden promptly served the hungry
adventurers at their tables. Following the meal was the bardic, Tuilli and Tao
went head to head and both delivered hilarity at the Lords table. Tao ended up
winning and walked away with the Apple of the Lords' eye (literally). Ask him
about it.
Following the meal, there were tournies and post
meal relaxation, and then dessert. All desserts were homemade and delicious,
and the cake looked phenomenal. After dessert things got wacky (as they often
do in Neden) - and a game was played where an adventurer would try to sneakily
tie as many balloons as possible to an unsuspecting victim. Razmith seemed to
be the target of most peoples balloon-based antics.
He didn't notice for a
while.
Then the auction was held. The moment many had
been waiting for! Many Artifacts were auctioned off, including a few of the
Magical Variety! Tuilli, Karmha and Aveline (a new adventurer whose adventure
in Neden was her first in these lands) received in house items, as well as a
couple others.
All in all it was a fun filled day and I'm so
thankful you all came out to celebrate with us. We managed to collect 176 cans
in total that were donated!
Thanks for coming Adventurers. See you next time!
