 is complete, they have freed the city from the grasp of the Red Star.

Fall out
Someone should be made Champerlain.
How will they treat captured forces?
How will they rebuild?

What spoils of war?
  there should be some magic, and some gold
 is it time to actually start counting gold?

are they sure they 'saved the village'?

How do they want to approach the other two prophecies?

Who leveled up?
do we give them a game or two before all the others are level 8?
or leave them at 7 a bit.

Game Recap

- they started mostly out by their home street. There was some fighting with the stree guard Red Star, and the RS leader threw a torch into the stable (AJ's / Stephans home)
- flashback to them as kids, accidentally starting a fire in the same place.
- some of them had to rescue the old man that lives there... makes some comments about 'once when I was younger I could have commanded the fire away!" waving his arms as a madman.
- return from flashback, some rush in to save the old man again... and this time ask what he'd meant before, so they get the tale of him as Champerlain, and the power of the chain of office.
-they managed to get over the river somehow without using the bridges, probably using the River Otters of the elves, or maybe a magic boat they had handy.

- They debated and discussed things just outside the gate of the keep for some long time. fearing for their lives around the HUGE statues that came to life the time before.
- they were joined by units of both elves and dwarves
- after a lengthy debate they noticed the dwarves retreating without reason, eventually they realized the fear affect of the town was hiting the dwarves, they stayed in formation but kept steping backwards, very embarasing for them.
- at some point Red (Taylor) decided she'd waited enough and just started climbing the wall), soon they were mostly clambering up and taking on the guards at the top of the wall.
- the less climbery remained and searched for the secret door they somehow knew was there, and eventually found it between the legs of one of the statues... they felt pretty endangered.
-meanwhile inside the two rogues were searchiing and attaching the wizards tower, however the chain of office was not to be found.
- I maneuvered them so they all arrived at the Throne room within moments, and started one big fight to end the game.
- during that fight I asked everyone who had ever touched one of the dark books to make a WILL save, those that lost heard a voice in their head saying "you ARE the Dark". the two on the ground floor started walking to surrender, the two rogues found they could not directly attack, and the countess rolled a 29, so she was totally unaffected - and I plan to consider her immune from this affect from now on.
- despite all this, they kicked butt, stole the chain of office from the neck of the head Wizard, and won the day.
 - the one who was named the new Chamberlain?  Leeflo the Hafling Rogue :-) (he who embodies the traditional thief roll, including stealing money from their own team pockets.
