Goodbye, HUES! January 2002 - March 2010

[pyat]

Thus ends the longest RPG campaign I've ever run. Tonight, the Hamilton Underdark Exploration Society finally faced and defeated Ashardalon, an anicent red dragon with designs on godhood.


He straddled the Fount of Pre-Incarnate Souls, devouring them, preventing new life from entering the Prime Material Plane. The heroes fought well - two of them died in the struggle. mar2nee's warrior madien, Ariadne, struck the final blow.


At the end of the game, everyone was 19th or 20th level.

• velvetpage was Velvet, who retired as a Rogue 9/Shadowdancer 10 to become spymaster for the Duchy of Urnst.


• doc_mystery, who has been writing about our exploits for the Alarums & Excursions zine, was Bishop Roger Thursday, 20th cleric of St. Cuthbert. Bishop Thursday went into a monastery to study and pray, at least for a time.


• shadow_maze was Eidolon, 20th level Elven Illusionist. He returned to spread the gospel of the Maze, and right the heresies that had arisen in his cult.


• mar2nee was Ariadne, 19th level Fighter. Though a human, she had risen to great respect amongst the Dwarves of Oerth, and settled down as a master smith in the Caves of Iron.


• Finally, Daniel's 19th level Half-Elven Ranger, Laucian. He retired with his wife and child in the Druid enclave of Ossington, where he dedicated his life to learning the ways of the forest.

It was a grand adventure with good friends. I know we will keep playing together, and I look forward to the next 8 years together!

Wow, you're making me VERY jealous. But congratulations to HUES for defeating the scourge and righting the metaphysical ways of the world! With two deaths and an ancient red dragon it does indeed sound like an epic battle.
