Thunder trampled two soldiers, and I lanced a third. I drew my sword as I barreled through the first rank. Thunder’s momentum carried me deep into t...e second rank. I fended off pikes and worked through the second rank. That was when Uri’s horn announced our retreat. I wheeled around and called all to follow.

"He is on his way and said to tell you he hadn't eaten yet because he wanted to get here." Good lets go eat 'cause I am hungry."We all got out and trooped into the restaurant and ordered our drinks and went to the buffet table. I got a shock when I saw how much food Shorty piled on his plate."Damn Shorty, you got a hollow leg or something?

One that will remove the curse from a person completely. Our Patron is meeting in the capital, in the next week or so, to explain the situation and pass on the information of the cure to them. Once that is concluded, the Dran will call a conclave of the Drans to explain the threat and share the cure.“Any attempt to gain a foothold outside of Vishant will fail before it begins. As for Vishant, we plan to make sure a cure is spread throughout the land and that all weapons. There were usual details, food, shopping, etc but at the end was a group of initials. I asked what they represented and Yvonne said “their sexual proclivities". I am showing you them only because I want you be able to put into context what you may or may not, see various things which may appear slightly bizarre or odd.”The list was interesting and included a roll call ranging from water sports to wanking with twists and kinks in between. Exhibitionists, bi-sexual, role player etc. .
