Our DM is the inimitable Robert Taylor, a gaming legend in his own time: [url=http://www.storyboardz.net]Storyboardz.net[/url] This is an interesting exercise in documenting what happened before as well as flexing my writing muscles so I can take a break from my novel. What transpires below is very close to how the game took place, which does not strictly follow the adventure path. A lot of dialogue has been added as the characters were fleshed out later to help tie the plot together more tightly and extrapolate on each character's background.
