Note:  The following is for Ryan, so he can have a quick (or not so quick) run down of the past 3 sessions.  It is in the form of a dialogue between Zoltan and Orendil.]][Episode 17][Scene: Frog Town, Tavern called ‘The Peg-Legged Manticore’.  Zoltan, Orendil and most of the gang are here blowing off some steam.  Nick is off at the temple trying to get Jhelai resurrected.  Wang just went off in a boat to show the soldiers some blobs that we ran through up the river.  Milo, Alahandra and one of the Drow are hiding in the woods outside of city walls.  They think we're in jail.  Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!  Orendil has just informed Zoltan of some temporary amnesia...]What????Now, Now, Wait a minute!  You mean to tell me that you don't remember a thing from the last 2 days!?!?  Orendil, have you been fooling around with that damn wild magic again?  I told you not to do that, buddy.All right; Here goes:  It all started a long time ago, on a planet far, far away with these big giant words flying through the cosmos to a wonderfully fanciful soundtrack!  The New Hope was here, and it was US!...[[Ed. Note:  We greatly apologize.  The writer who has been writing the previous blurb has been sacked and has been replaced by someone with less flair for the dramatic.]]Well, you see, there seems to be a menace, menacing a G'Banrak's little menacable planet.  It's a 'Phantom Menace'!...[[Ed. Note:  We are extremely sorry.  The people responsible for the sacking the writer who was just sacked have also been sacked.  We apologize for any inconvenience.]][Start of session 15.]Ahem.  You say that you remember being in the prison cells in the Githyanki base.  Damn, I can't believe you forgot this much.  Well, we got out because the Colonel made the Commander believe that she was taking us away to be executed.  So we were escorted to a ship a lot like the prison transport we were on when we came to the planet.  A quick little ride and we were in space and docking with the Colonel's ship.  You were NOT able to get your stuff off of the planet because Antiphiphia wouldn't stop there.  Didn't you leave your SoulFeeder there?  And where's your big blaster?Well, we got to the ship and she let us roam around a little.  We got some breakfast and sat around and conversed for a little while.  (I guess I shouldn't tell him that Elf Pudding is actually quite good!  I can't wait to get some more! Yumm)  We met Nick, who is one of the elves, and another damn magic user at that.  Humph!  Over there is Wang, who is a Chinese human monk who was raised by British dwarves.  I think that makes him 'Blitish'.  And finally, there is the Jhelai guy, who we didn't get to know very well.  He had a cute little twin gun rig with some kind of leather trench coat.  Not anymore though...  Suits me just fine, because at first sight he seemed OK, but there was something not right about him.  Then we met the drow techs that were going to come with us.  They were going to come in all white outfits!  HAHAHAHA!  We told them to change and they came back with more sensible clothes.  I asked the Colonel if I could get any more weapons or explosives, and she fitted me with at least ten pounds of plastique and a masterwork Demo kit!  I was totally thrilled!  And I think she got a kick out of it!  Hey, do you think there could be any chemistry there?  [Orendil looks very angry.]Did you ever notice how cute she is?[Orendil punches Zoltan.  Very Hard.  Zoltan comes back to his senses.]OK! OK. Sorry about that.  Then we started to get ready.  We all went to the hangar and started getting into a dropship.  They packed all of our gear into one crate, and I was very thankful that it didn't get lost.  I'll get to that in a minute.  We flew off to the planet.  G'Banrak said the portal was high on a remote mountain.  When we got to it, we determined that the dropship couldn't land and we would have to jump out the back.  Well wouldn't you know it, one of the damn drow females manages to slide her ass off the mountain.  Luckily she didn't take any of the equipment with her.  I actually got a multi-scanner from her gear!We all got our stuff, said a few words, and proceeded trekking down the small mountain path to the portal.  When we got there, G'Banrak started chanting and there was this big Giant splash of water and we almost drowned!  Nah, just kidding.  Actually the portal just opened.  Nobody wanted to go first, but then we all went through.  I was about to blow the portal up but I didn't.  On the other side was a silver room with a door at one end.  When we looked out, we were met with quite an interesting sight.  The wind was blowing and the clouds were really pretty.  They were flying by pretty quick too.  The only problem was that they were BELOW us.  There was a narrow walkway ahead with no railings that led to a large silver globe on talllllllll tower.  There were a bunch of these globes, all connected by narrow walkways.  We were going to have to walk across.  Milo was afraid he was going to get blown off.  When we got to the next globe, we found another portal on one side and a door on the other.  This went on and on, as we were led from one globe to another.  I had the dead drow’s gear on my back and it was damn heavy.  So, I rummaged through found all the stuff that I wanted, and told everybody else to claim stuff 'cause I was leaving it.Finally, we were met by two reps of this place.  They looked like some magic using pansies, and they led us to an elevator.  This took us down to the ground level and they showed us a map.  It actually had arrows saying 'You are here'.  I took a look up to see if there would be anyway that I could destroy these towers, being magic and all.  And, nope.  There were no feet.  Nothing but clouds.We then went over to a close-by town, and they brought you to a temple.  They tried to get your level drain fixed, but it didn’t work apparently.  Then, Milo found an antique magic store and cleaned them out.  Apparently they had really cheap magic stuff, but he wouldn’t give any to me, that little pipsqueak!  I went and found a store where I could buy an arm-mounted datapad.  Oh, yeah.  This is a planet full of wimps.  No GUNS, Man!  No weapons of any sort that I could find, short of a steak knife.  It’s all something about a peaceful planet, or some other mumbo jumbo.  So, we found a hotel and rested for the night.</blockquote>
