[QUOTE="Richards, post: 6289805, member: 508"] [b]INTERLUDE: AKARI'S MEMORIAL[/b] PC Roster: [INDENT]Cal Trop, human cleric of Kord Chalkan, half-elf ranger/cleric of Corellon Larethian/sorcerer/arcane archer Delphyne Babelberi, human witch (wizard) Feron Dru, half-elf druid Galrich Slayer, half-orc barbarian Rale Bodkin, human rogue Telgrane, half-fire elemental human conjurer/archmage Thunderwolf, human fighter[/INDENT] NPC Roster: [INDENT]Aerik Battershield, dwarven fighter/dwarven defender Desdemona Honeytongue, human wizard Old Clem, human commoner/expert (fisherman)[/INDENT] Immediately after we finished up "Vlindarian's Vault," during the same game session, we took a brief interlude between adventures so that Vicki could spring a surprise she had planned. She had decided that her two PCs, at least, wanted to have a wake for their fallen adventurer-in-arms, Akari. Vicki had contacted me via email with this plan, and I thought it sounded awesome. She didn't want to do anything fancy, just have Delphyne say a few words about how much Akari had meant to the group; Feron's contribution would be to sing an elven lament in the background. (She quickly specified that she'd be willing to read Delphyne's words to the group, but wasn't up to singing in Elven as well, and suggested having some music in the background filling in for Feron's role.) As an incentive to carry through with this plan, I offered up an XP bonus for Delphyne and Feron if Vicki went through with this. She wrote out some brief notes about what Delphyne was to say, and before starting the adventure that followed "Vlindarian's Vault" we explained to the group that there was to be a brief memorial service for Akari. It was just a small gathering, consisting of the Adventurers Guild members and Akari's mother, Rezuma Naruchi (who was touched that her son had made such an impression upon the group of powerful heroes). Feron's elven lament was interwoven with a [i]summon nature's ally V[/i] spell at the end, in which she had included Tsukitora's name, so Akari's faithful griffon mount made one last appearance on the Material Plane, flying in a wide circle overhead before disappearing into the sunset. And then, after Delphyne's speech was over and Feron's song had finished (we decided the Dead Can Dance song, "The Host of Seraphim," made for a suitable elven lament - it's the song that plays at the end of "The Mist" right before the tanks roll in, if it doesn't otherwise ring a bell), Dan got up from his chair and, in character as Rale, started passing out mementos to each of the players, "in remembrance of Akari." Naturally, the "mementos" took the form of a tea bag. I ended up giving Rale bonus XP as well. How could I not? [/QUOTE]
