My first larp event was an all hallows up in Barrie about 12 years ago. I dragged my wife along and she had just flown in from a job she’d been working in BC. I had all our stuff packed up and a couple of characters made up. I was a barbarian skald type character and she was a elf magic type.
We got to the site and set up a tiny 2man tent, logged in and went in game to find the area around the inn completely empty. I think I had like 12 armor and 4 body and Judy had a dodge 2 body and 6 armor, I had a sword that did 2 normal and she did 1normal. So we are wandering around the empty inn and a couple of undead show up. It is moving pretty slow so I figure I can take it, I try to hit it ..No effect! And it starts swinging back with 6normal.
“time to run hun”
So Judy and I run into the forest that we have never seen in daylight. There we encountered what I would refer to as a ninja skeleton. Hit for 1 normal, but I could hurt it, other than the fact it fought at a 15 on a 1 to 10 scale. We slowly chipped away at it for about 30minutes and it finally fell and turned to dust, alas no treasure for 30minutes of fighting. By now it was really dark and we thought we would go back to check out then inn. All we found were a few players that were now walking dead. So we just stood still in the dark near some palisade and listened. Really hiding almost in the open, just that it was so dark, if you didn’t move nobody could see you, but eventually we were chased out of town again.
There we encountered some players who were actually alive, but they proceeded to grab us, carve some flesh out of my chest, and then force fed me a forget potion, though they forgot to feed one to Judy, so she was able to fill me in on what happened after.
We then spent the next half hour lying on the ground looking up at the sky under a pine tree.
Then in the distance we could someone shouting for someone to return his heart. There was some barbarian with a huge sword holding a chain that the other barbarian was wearing as a leach. Given our last encounter with the locals, we decided to avoid these characters.
We then encountered what looked like an old woman in the forest, and though she was the scariest and fed on our flesh, she also healed us and showed us where to hide and actually spent time talking and role playing with us.
Though we basically couldn't fight anything and all the players were trying to steal from us and/or leave us for dead in the forest, we did end up having quite a bit of fun, though not being able to really do anything combat wise got pretty old by the time Sunday rolled around, fortunately one of the other players saw our plight and begged the Npc staff to throw us a few things to fight and kill.
