[QUOTE="Wik, post: 4234060, member: 40177"] [i][color=orange]This is an adventure for Jerrand Redband, Tor, Semabin, and Jamilee. It was begun on May 20, 2008. INTRODUCTION: As I said in the announcement, this is going to be a short adventure, guys, and it's linked thematically to the events in my current Tomas Quinn adventure. It will be a site-based adventure, for the most part, though you can tackle it how you see fit. In other words, you go from point a to point b, but how you do that is up to you. I don't pull punches as a GM, and it is possible that a PC could die from poor play. Unlikely, but possible. So, yeah, you've all been warned. :) Expect an update from me about twice a week or so. Sometimes, I get on posting runs where I update every day, but usually, between work, occasional school, and trying to keep my significant other from realizing she could do better than me, LEW can sometimes be neglected. That said, I usually have tuesdays and wednesdays off, and I always post at least once on those days. As usual, I will be using [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/]Invisible Castle[/url] for all my rolling, and I expect you to do so as well. I actually do check on posted rolls about half the time, and I get upset if I catch cheaters. Not that I expect anyone to do that; ENWorld folk are usually honest that way. If you have any problems with the game, rulings, or whatever else, either post them here, or e-mail me at wik666 at hotmail dot com. All maps posted were made using Dundjinni. I'm still learning the program, so I'm sorry if they're not as pretty as they should be. Alright, that being said, let's get gaming! I hope you all have fun. [/color][/i][color=orange][/color] You quickly head out of the Red Dragon Inn, following the trail of the young man. He dashes quickly through alleyways, and has to stop several times to let the dwarf, Gildrim, catch up. Finally, after the third such stop, the dwarf shrugs his shoulders and motions you on.

Both have the same feral red eyes. He grins evilly, and the worg howls. This is going to be a long night. OOC: Initiative rolls, my friends, and actions for your first round.
