The party is attacked while resting.  A dwarf, a Barghest, and an Athach press an attack and the party reels to defend itself.  Goku, the name his friends used, swiftly engages the Athach stunning the giant with his rappid fists.  The party moves in and destorys the great creature.  Springing and leaping, Goku flies past the hulking corpse and attacks the dwarf and barghest.  His attention is focused on the wolf-like creature deeming the armored dwarf too slow to be an immediate threat.  This is a fatal mistake.  Goku never sees the axe coming.  With two devistating stokes, the dwarf eviscerates Gokuson spilling his insides to the cave floor.  Goku is dead before he hits the ground.  (DM's Note: The first attack scored a critical and with both hits the total damage was close to 60 pts putting poor Goku well below negative 10 hit points.)To the horror of his companions, the Barghest attacks and devours Goku's corpse before their very eyes.  With nothing left to mourn and revenge burning in their hearts, the party lunges, pushing the attack on the vile enemy.These are a couple of simple examples of what I would like to see here.  The floor is now open.  All are encouraged to participate, those with a penchant for the quill and those without.  Use whatever format you want.  Include whatever aid may help in your telling of the story.  Pictures are always a good thing too. Thanks and enjoy.</blockquote>
