     IRC Nickname: Group: Elite Guardian Posts: 7306 Member No.: 47 Joined: December 30, 2007 Total Events Attended: 343    | Original Post TET Official Party / Event Post (Public) A Turkey of a Time!  Please note that this event is at 7PM GMT Thursday - Not the usual time (or day) of 9 PM on a Saturday. “It was a crisp November morning, with a slight frost on the ground and a chill in the air but it was peaceful...for now at least anyway. As the sun begun to rise over the brow of the nearby hill, a rooster called out signalling to its master that it was time to get up and set about the days work. Farmer Jeremiah sat bolt upright and collided with the shelf above his bed upon hearing his rooster's call. He rubbed his forehead while muttering about needing to move the shelf but he stopped quickly when he saw his calendar and he realised what the date was. “Blimey! It's Thanksgiving already! I could have sworn it was only a few weeks ago we had our last one!†he said aloud to himself. Jeremiah glanced at his clock and saw that it was almost 8 o'clock; which meant he had half an hour before his wife would return with the list of who across Gielinor wanted how many turkeys, so he dragged himself to the kitchen and made himself a nice farmer's fry up and threw the leftovers out for the dogs. After breakfast he changed into his work clothes, put on his wellington boots and his hat and strolled out into the yard where sure enough his wife turned up right on time with a folder bursting with orders for turkeys. He greeted his wife and she gave him the folder. “We have our work cut out this year!†she said enthusiastically, “hopefully that spell Wizard Cromperty taught us will actually work, if not it's going to be a long day!†As Jeremiah flicked through the order list for turkey he noticed a scorched piece of paper with three letters written on it in with what appeared to be charcoal 'K.B.D'. “Errrm I think you might have made a mistake here†he said to his wife. “Hmm?†“You have the K.B.D and unless someone else in Gielinor goes by the same initials the King Black Dragon would like some turkeys for Thanksgiving!†“That's no mistake! I was passing through the wilderness when I bumped into the Dragon, he looked so miserable on his own with nothing but adventurers after his treasure to keep him company so I thought we could bring him Thanksgiving dinner!†“He's hardly known for his social etiquette, we'll be eaten alive in there! Plus there is no way we have enough turkeys to feed a normal dragon with one head, let alone that Dragon with three heads!†he said with an air of exasperation. “I guess you're right†she said gloomily “I just wanted to do something nice for the Dragon. After all; he does have a lot to put up with.†Jeremiah did not like to upset his wife; so while he spent the day plucking turkeys and sending them to the many people across Gielinor, he thought about a possible solution that would leave his wife happy and the dragon suitably stuffed…and then it occurred to him. Although he never managed to spend much time away from Gielinor's only Turkey farm, he had heard that the Gods of the land were very favourable, and should you die; they would return you to the realm of the living providing you had done a good deed, and what better deed than to sacrifice themselves to feed the King Black Dragon, and to give thanks to him for all the work he does slaying ill-prepared adventurers? He ran the idea past his wife and she approved, although she questioned where they would get such a large group of willing people from. “I have heard rumours of a group of people from a place called 'Tip.It' who have many times helped out people across the lands, perhaps they will help us in bringing thanks to the Dragon? Also, I am sure if we post flyers around the major cities we could attract some interest there too.†“It sounds perfect! They would need to collect vegetables and spread them across the King's lair before they die in order to add a bit of flavour to the meal, and the heat of his breath should be hot enough to cook everything and bring the vegetables to a nice simmer!†She said with a big grin on her face. “Yes, and the graves they would leave behind after their death would make for a nice...GRAVE-y!†His wife stared at him grimly for the overcooked pun. At that moment, some tumbleweed blew across the farm and a cough could be heard in the distance which echoed off the farm buildings. “Graves. Gravy? Come on it was funny!†“I think you should stick with farming...†And so it was decided that brave adventurers from across Gielinor would unite to give the King Black Dragon a meal fit for a...ummm...king this Thanksgiving as well as just have an all round good time and party the evening away!†-----------------------------------------------------<Party details at a glance>-------------------------------------------- Date: Thursday the 26th of November 2009 - Thanksgiving Day!

Thanksgiving is a great time to be with your family and give Thanks. But that is not the case for the King Black Dragon…nobody cares about him on this glorious holiday! So he has to be all alone in his chamber deep in the Wilderness. But…we will surprise the KBD with a feast fit for 3 heads of a King! <span style='font-size:7pt;line-height:100%'>We will meet here, in the fields beside the River Lum where the Gnome Copters used to be: </span>  <span style='font-size:7pt;line-height:100%'>We will exchange thanks and enjoy each others company until the time comes. When the event starts, we will raid the fields of potatoes, onions, wheat and whatever food we can get our hands on. Once done; we will make our way up to the Wilderness and into the King Black Dragons Lair. It would be a good idea not to bring anything you do not want to lose! Once we get into the cave, we must bomb the room without dying, this is to give the KBD his lovely side dish for the meat. Once we have bombed the room, we will then let the KBD eat us! Who will be the toughest to chew? Will the KBD end up being our Thanksgiving feast?[/SIZE] <span style='font-size:7pt;line-height:100%'>The Turkey Trot!</span> After we are killed and reborn; we will meet in Lumbridge for the Turkey Trot! This will be a race using the Plant Markers to a secret location. You are encouraged to dress natively for the race! Who will be the fastest trotter? There might be a cash prize waiting for you at the end for the fastest! The Gobble Games!</span> Once everyone gets to the location, we will play some Thanksgiving games! We will start off with… Toss the Giblet! We will play some games with a Gnomeball, like playing catch. Whoever has the ball is the catcher, you have to make sure you don't get caught or you’re it! Another game will be two teams head to head. You have to pass the ball to your team and then sit down, the first team to all be sitting down wins! Last man standing! The aim of the game is to not have the ball, after so many number of seconds if you have the ball you are out! Glenda Gobbles! Some emote fun! If you do an emote when Glenda didn't gobble, your out! Who will be the master of the emote? Bring on the Pun! After all the hectic and fast paced games, we will all sit down, relax and have some pun! It won't be fowl, if you don't like it I might have to beat the stuffing out of something! And you know whats-a-the key to a great Thanksgiving event? The TurKEY! We will have some gentle comedy with a few puns. who knows… the best pun might win a reward! If you have any games to play at the event, please share them with us! After that we will draw the event to a close, but who knows what mischief we might want to get into?
