[QUOTE="Pedestrian, post: 4040820, member: 40208"] So that's it, the Red Hand of Doom finished. Only took half a year, and two and a half parties worth of characters. It's been a lot of fun, though some things were a pain - particular as half of the game involved only a half party! The high point, I think, was probably the raid of the Ghostlord's lair, followed closely by the endurance fight on the Dawn Way. The first showed how resourceful the then group were, the second how potent they had become. Also, battling the whole Red Hand detachment in the ruins of Rhest was a bit mad. I started off intending to follow the adventure as written loyally, but changed it to include more bits of interest to my players. I also spruced up the NPCs to match my home setting. Hope you've enjoyed walking beside the heroes on their quests, even though for now we must part. Thanks Sol. Glad you've enjoyed the story. Kayan was played by the same person who played initially as Sir Tarnus, and finally as Andel Mor. The game switched over from in-person play to over MSN, at the same point as Kayan left the party. He rejoined for christmas, when I and my partner (Sol's player) were visiting home, and asked to play as a warlock. We've now returned to play over MSN, and Andel's player has decided to withdraw from the game again. In the context of the story, Kayan returned to Brindol with the emissaries from the Starsong elves. His fate isn't explored, but he is presumed to have died during the Battle for Brindol, alongside most of the Templars of Brindol. All the best to all! [/QUOTE]
