Be glad there were no cameras...
Sep. 13th, 2005 10:06 amLast weekend, I was at my LARP (Live Action Role Play) game called Domaine du Createur (the longest running LARP in Montreal (9 years!)). sarahcarotte and I both play characters in this game: I'm a wizard named Karnack the Magnificent and sarahcarotte plays a healer named Kindara.
I just want to share a memorable moment with all of you: Sunday morning at 10:30 am sarahcarotte had just woken up and chatting quietly about what had happened in the LARP the night before. We heard a thumping sound from nearby that sounded distinctly like a large boffo weapon smacking the ground. We had just enough time to wonder who was making that sound when we heard a growling right outside our own tent. I yelped when that same boffo weapon hit the platform our tent was sitting on.
"You have 10 seconds to get out of there and fight or you're dead," growled the animator.
"But I'm not dressed!" I cried.
"I don't care," replied the animator. "10, 9, 8, ..."
So sarahcarotte and I scrambled to get up and grab our weapons. We got out of the tent and began to fight the monster-animator. Unfortunately, sarahcarotte got trapped in the camp and was almost killed, but I managed to get the monster to come after me onto the road. As we fought, a staff weapon flew over the camp wall and landed next to the monster, picked picked it up and continued to fight.
"Thanks alot," I cried out. "Now the monster has TWO weapons!"
I managed to fend the monster off by myself (armed with a staff that does 1 point of damage as opposed to the monster's hammer that does 5 points of damage) for about 200 yards until I was able to get grrscary out of her tent to help me.
When the monster was finally dead, I had a chance to take a moment to notice that I was only dressed in a shirt, red boxer shorts, and purple dress socks. I bent down to search the body of the monster for any objects of value, which means I said to the animator:
"I search your corpse. Do I find anything?"
"Nope," replied the animator, who then grinned. "I can't believe you fought me in your boxer shorts!"
"Dude, just be glad that you didn't get a glimpse at why I'm called Karnack the Magnificent!"
Heh.
