I think we wanted to make the title a sentence in an effort to distinguish it from Ebberon. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> And Different Worlds is indeed the publisher, but they're not "open for business" yet. I think the book is actually due back from the printers today or tomorrow.I got a larger update in the works; not sure if it's "good", but - dammit - it'll be longer than this last one. I feel like I cheated a bit by calling the last post an update.Amen, brother Celtavian! I think I'd be certifiable if I tried to detail all the fights in the campaign - especially those from this far back in time.  I hate to pull the proverbial curtain aside and show the guts behind the story, but I'll do it anyway since there seems to be some interest in it.As I mentioned, Josh (Baden's player) began keeping a PC journal after his fight with the cave troll.  That is immensely helpful to fill in the many gaps of my memory.  Here's what I had to work with on the Baden/Dreth fight.So, you see, I changed some things. Not all of them intentional, mind you - I didn't have an intenet connection (and hence - Baden's journal) when I was typing some of it on my laptop.  I can only recall certain things from that fight - the dreth used magic, he had DR (one of the first baddies with DR that the Olgotha Brothers have faced), and he nearly killed Tamil with his poison touch. I used a weird type of poison - it did hit point damage, and required three consecutive Fort saves to shake off its effects. I know, I know - not very good 3E or 3.5E mechanics. Looks like I exchanged a wand for the sword and made his eyes amber instead of red.  I also, it seems, added a wolven. Heh.I remember Baden did most of the damage (thanks in part to his axe), and I remember it was a near thing as to whether Tamil would survive the poison ordeal or not.The rest, as they say, is history.In summary, I try to stick to the story as much as my memory and - in those scenes which include Baden - the journal allow. I do change some things, here and there, but I only do it for the story. And to keep me sane.Take care!D</blockquote>
