Ok a lot of you know i went Larping over the weekend (Live action role playing) and i found it really awesome. And a lot of people on here said let me know how it went and i thought this would be the best way to do so!

I had a lot of fun and i do plan on going next month. I have had friends who have been going for ages and i did know a lot of people there actually. I decided to play a scout for my first character and i went with the simple choice of human. I nearly went some flavour of elf, but when i did my first mission i was so happy i went with human. So any way i called my Scout "Token" I do plan to think of a name for my next character soon because i have enough XP to build one. I will explain how very soon.

So any way the Friday night mission was the first one and it was also the one for beginners we got paid to stop some Orcs doing some dark ritual and a guide was sent with us. So me and the guide scouted ahead since it was my job, any way i got surprised by some orcs jumping out of the bushes and they where every where, i did manage to let the party know with a girly scream as they leaped out. I was also stuck in some mud and i was parrying like a bitch to seop being killed by the orcs, i did manage to kill some too. And my friend who was playing with a swordsman came to my rescue. I did take 2 hits to my right arm, one up and one lower.

This is the point i was very happy i went with human because if i would have gone with elf i would have lost my arm and would have had to do the rest of the dungeon without it. I can safely say i was much more cautious after that. I did take more hits but one was from a arrow which was the only people i didn't spot, that was bad for my character but she was Ok and another shot to the arm. In the last encounter i took some Orcs down though and one that nearly killed an ally i took out on my own. People where surprised because of how many i took down because scouts aren't meant too. But i was so happy i had a reach weapon because most things i took down where when i was behind someone harder then me.

Friday night was in character tavern which we got attacked by high level monsters that can drain stats. There is nothing like running away from some stuff that can kill your character in one hit at 1:30am and hiding in the woods at night. I met some people in character that helped me escape which was pretty cool.

Saturday day i was monstering, which is what you tend to do when you're not on a mission, that was a lot of fun. Some times i was pretty good, other times they killed me before i got to do anything but that was all fun. Especially the last thing i did as a monster; the Saturday afternoon dungeon was a pro level and i got to play an high anti paladin of doom. This was awesome and it has given me a taste for playing them! People where impressed i not only remembered all the stuff i could do, but i actually managed to do it all in battle before dying. It was a lot of fun and i got this big cool sword and got to wear chain mail which covered a huge area on me.

Saturday night was how i got my character to high enough level for me to build a new one, it was an open dungeon, but there was a lot of high level stuff and out if the low level characters it was only me and my friend brave enough to go one it. For good reason too, we where also first time larpers. So any way i couldn't actually hurt any thing in the dungeon if i did manage to hit something and one hit from them would have killed me out right. And i survived it! My poor friend could take a little more hits then me but was in the same boat and he did too.

I hid most of the night and i did so so well the party wondered where i was, which i got told is a sign of a good scout. But it was kind of scary to see people as monsters run past me and not see me. But it did take me straight to 4th level.

It was so much fun and so much happened and i do plan on going back. i really like my character Token as well and i will probably draw her at some point too. She is good at getting into trouble though lol.

My next character is going to be a gypsy because they sound like so much fun to roleplay so i need to pick a character name. I already have someone playing her brother and she is going to marry another player character too. So already she sounds like fun.
