[QUOTE="Brekkil, post: 4669599, member: 35498"] [LEFT][I]This entry (which describes our third session) was also written by me, the DM, rather quickly, since we are playing our fourth session tomorrow and I hate to be behind in the journal. In this journal entry, you'll meet a new PC called Thaltior, another rogue, but very different from the others.
