Tomorrow (well actualy today but a long time from now
The next instalment to Avonshar the IRL game.
With the viewing sphere now reactivated and the Travelers guild aware of it's existance can all sorts of confusion be far behind?
I want my players to know that tomorrow will be a lot of fun topped off with a rich reward*. Casparo's player has promissed me a few new "horrors" to play with. Lets see if he is as happy with them as I am.
*Assuming you survive. There is no gaurantee that that will happen. Remember the Toadlocks? These babies are even more vile. Have fun.

Tonight's lovely new additions to our lexicon so far: insectal bestial humaniods that spit ugly stuff we've named Sandtials, and Root Snakes, hideous collections of animated tubers forming colony creatures.
And that's not even counting the awesome power of.....
The SLURM.

No,no,no. The Dwarf isn't going to call it a Slurm!
Rali is naming it a Balderk, a more appropriate weapon name.
I believe the unspeakable evil that we released have been named the Slurm.

Game tonight!
Tonight will be an interesting night for our intrepid adventurers. Firstly there will be the addition of Sanity points to their characters.
Second if they play their cards right they might actualy awaken a great evil.
Third.... and most important.... The world will show it's face to them at last. (thus the need for the sanity points.)
I will warn you all now. One of the characters will be changed by the time the night is over.
One hint to my players. Beware Moonrise.

Oh, the Horror. The horror.
A hell of a session, this time out. Look for copious updates shortly.
If I get Argent's permission, after we post the next Story Hour installments, I'd like to post a PDF of the collected materials we used at the previous session. Valanthe will scan them in (as reigining graphics queen) and make them smaller, but to truly appreciate it, a PDF would probably be the best solution.
A snippet of conversation from our last game:
Me: "So, really, the only folks who haven't left town now are the stupid, the criminally insane and the zealots."
Tantra: "Well, up until yesterday, I could own up to not being any one of those three."
