Blue
Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal
Last night was bittersweet. A rousing conclusion of a D&D campaign, with two of our long-time nemesisses (nemesi? nemessen?) working together to overtake the kingdom we have spent so much of the campaign trying to restore, surrounded by fighting armies of orcs and our displaced barbarian friends.
What started as the likely-mad man who claimed to be the King of Pal, a nation no one in current day had heard of, and the merry band of Bronze Bastards, ended with an epic battle to stop the dragon wars of ten thousand years ago from occurring again and wiping out the good dragons and the civilized races against the backdrop the lost kingdom of Pal that helped stand against them once again.
My companions: Fyve, the good goblin and arcane prodigy. Stella, the learned priestess who educated all we met. Juniper, everything a rogue should be and then some, Roland, the master merchant who was also a master of all trades. Varen, the golden-locked half-orc tactician and warmaster. Aelar the Dragon Slayer. Barian Pal, the man who would be king. And all those that traveled with us.
In the end we were victorious, and the Kingdom of Pal is now being restored.
But at the same time it's sad to say goodbye to such an awesome group of characters. It's like reaching the end of a really good book: fulfilling, satisfying, triumphant - but you'll still wish it went on for just a few more chapters so you don't have to take leave of the characters yet.
So, Jillian Briarfoot, fearless halfling bard, Terror of Dragons and High Herald of Pal, and all of your brave companions, I salute you. And the follow players and most especially the DM who gave me so much enjoyment.
