[QUOTE="Eeralai, post: 4207533, member: 15008"] [COLOR=Red]This next part is a little uncharacteristic of Gwen. I have tried to play it up as her fatigue mixed with her resentment of people connected with the god Pter, but the truth is I was exhausted and did not play this night. I am going to ask some of the former players if they could write up what actually happened so you have more than Gwen's impressions here. It is a huge event for Ternell who was much more the star of this adventure than Gwen was.[/COLOR] Still in forest. Should ask party if anyone here knows how many months we've been here.
