[QUOTE="Nail, post: 762734, member: 224"] Adventure Log from Session #2: (RL Mar 9th, 2003) [list][i]DM's note: Two new players! We now have 5, a number I'm very happy with.

Fortunately for the paladin's ego, the rest of the party only caught up with him after he was able to scrape the sod out of his visor.

Palen himself had died in town a year or two after he was forced by old age to leave his homestead.
