Overall, the story and style are very strong.  The descriptive text is quite good; the description of Ciddry, for instance, was evocative and gave me a good mental picture of the town.  In hindsight I could better recognize the "in between sessions" postings, as the amount of character interaction dropped off significantly, but they still contributed to the overall story.  I also appreciated the flexible approach to the narrative structure; i.e. telling parts of the story through flashback, switching perspective with each chapter, etc.  I'm not sure if I personally would have done this with such a major plot event as the battle with the demon, but having heard the meta comments on it (that the session took place so long ago that the details were fuzzy), I understand your approach.  I empathized totally with the discussion about posting at ENWorld spoiling the writer.  I've been posting fiction here for quite some time now, utterly neglecting my "serious" writing in part because I get addicted to the positive feedback (as opposed to the silence and/or ambivalence one gets from agents and editors). As to the earlier "controversy" over the material (the one "negative" post wasn't really that harsh, as we saw in LYS's follow-up post), I wouldn't worry about it.  As someone else noted, we've seen some pretty stark stuff in PirateCat's and Wulf's story hours, and those two are the most popular on the boards.  Heck, I had a demon rip out a character's internal organs and hang the carcass up on a wall for his friends to find.   I look forward to future updates.
