[QUOTE="Ashy, post: 3223598, member: 312"] Just thought I'd give you all a little peek at one of my current Session Write-ups... :] This is the beginning of [B]Session 17[/B] (the bit I wrote above is for [B]Session 5[/B] and we're currently on [B]Session 29[/B]!), the rest of which should be posted tomorrow at [url=http://wowweezowwee.com]WOWWEEZOWWEE.COM[/url]... Let me know what ya think... ------------------------------------------------------- [B][I]Session 17 - 02/16/06 - "Away Team"[/I][/B] Far away from Seafoam, the soft light of the morning sun struggles through the heavy blanket of clouds that surround and swirl about the snow and ice-coated peaks of a lonely, windswept mountain. Sleet-saturated wind howls around long abandoned stones as it swirls and eddies in and out of a solitary archway. The only sounds that compliment this mournful wail is the occasional sharp crack of ice and the rough rumble of stone upon stone. Snow falls in blinding drifts, piling up among tumbled-down blocks that once stood tall and proud in service and testimony of the One. A single, isolated archway flares to life, spilling holy, golden light into the early morning darkness, causing the gathered drifts of snow to glow with a heavenly light; for just a fraction of a second, a glimpse of the structure’s former glory could be glimpsed – if there was anyone present who would even care… The light fades and the archway then regurgitates something else: three of the Misfits – the doorway exploration team, none other than Vaskesh, Dromar and their newest member, Tsidkenu. They instinctively pull their cloaks tighter around their bodies and try and gain some secure footing in the half-frozen, rock-laden muck into which they have stepped. It is obvious that these heroes were not expecting the sudden change in environment and temperature. As their eyes adjust to the early morning gloom, the realization dawns upon them that they are nowhere near their home - when they last saw the sun in Seafoam, the sun was quickly setting… As they take stock of their situation and the area around them, they can see behind them, towards the rising sun, there is a great valley far below; within that valley they catch the glimmer of light on water as well as a fairly large settlement of some sort. Nearer at hand, it seems that they stand amongst the ruins of what was once a grand temple to the One; however, only a fragment of its prior glory has stood the test of time: the single archway through which they have just passed. They have little time to ponder over that revelation, however, as their collective attentions are quickly drawn to a sound before and above them. The snow-driven wind swirls around an up-jutting spar of rock and through the swirling snow and clouds they catch a glimpse of their welcoming party. Nearly identical, two massive, grotesque humanoids move sure-footedly down the rocks towards the subset of the Misfits. Their pockmarked, boil-filled faces leer with evil pleasure as the eye their prey warily, trying to gauge how difficult this meal will be to obtain.
