"An Iron DM tournament is a contest in which writers show their ability to turn a collection of random ingredients into a cohesive adventure over a short period of time."
Sounds like fun. I wanted to give it a shot last year, but missed the signup. Count me in. Do I need to do stat blocks or anything?

Currently the group is in the Feywild, trying to discover who is poisoning the drow.
Gavin Ward - Male Human Warlord 1 - The party started a bar fight. The fellow who escaped brought his bandit buddies back and they killed Gavin (and nearly three other party members). He bled out while lying on the floor.
4th Ed Kills:
Spoiler:
Cornell Butterworth - Male Human Wizard 1 - Knocked unconscious by a kobold dragonshield the fighter ignored, then done in by the kobold wyrmpriest's acid breath.
Lithia - Female Elven Ranger 11 - Contracted mummy rot, which eventually did her in.
Brendan Stetlan - Male Human Fighter 4 - Knocked unconscious in combat, then thrown to the wolves.
Vindicator Mindartis Valenae - Eladrin Paladin 5 - Dropped by a githzerai monk (L6 elite), and killed when the rogue threw him off the balcony to try and get his body to safety.
Vongar - Male Dwarf Paladin 1 - Fell in battle after defeating Irontooth, but not his bodyguard.
Straef - Male Elf Ranger 1 - Fell in battle to Irontooth's Wyrmpriest.
I'm a bit surprised there's not more interest in this. For you DMs who've never tried this, its a great way to get your creative juices flowing.
Sunday is a slow day around here, and Monday just started for a lot of folks. Also, we haven't had one of these in years, so it's understandable that new folks don't know to be excited.
(My secret hope is to jump-start this contest into a multiple times per year thing, so I can play in some of them... mua-ha-ha!)

Quick question - would I be able to write my entries in Word, and post them as PDFs? It would make it easier to convert to my blog (where I plan on posting them).

What happens when you copy from Word and paste directly into the EN World text widget (in WYSIWIG mode)?
