Excellent recap John!! I loved the drama!! It was told with a great flare
that really psyched me up for these guys. I've already been going through
Sigil withdraw and this just has me beaming with excitement for tonight!!
Hopefully we can get started at a decent time.
It will be somewhat disappointing, since Bobby will not be there, but we
shall persevere. Hopefully tonight will come off well. I'm altering some
plans because I wanted the group to reach a certain point, but I want them
to reach it as a group, so I'm going to hold off until the 30th for that
part.
But, tonight should still be interesting and I'm very interested to see how
the group works/interacts without Tori and Elizabeth around to add their two
cents.
Very cool John...

The Sigil is under strain.....The Sigil is breaking.....
But the Sigil had been strong. Reaching a point as a true team,
they had fought against great evil. Working together as a cohesive
fighting force, they had been pitted against the evil forces of the
demon Salamandras and the demi-power Lo Pan. Battered and beaten by
their foes on more than one occasion, the group came together, working
as though destined for greatness. With the disappearance of their
leader, Kage, the group came to understand how much they needed him, and
when he reappeared, he led them to a stunning victory in a three way
battle against all of their enemies. Victory was within their grasp,
when, due to an artifact of incalculable power, the world went white,
and the Sigil was lost......
Waking in a cave on a world not their own, the group had little time
to think. Immediately forces began their work to unravel the
camaraderie that the group had so recently discovered. Octarious, one
of their mightiest, had disappeared, apparently slain by the forces of
Lo Pan. A former member of the group, Tori, an independent elven
archer, with no liking for authority or those she deemed disrespectful,
returned, sowing dissension in the ranks. A young girl, Elizabeth, with
a mysterious past and desperate for the group to keep her alive, joined
the party. And a mysterious paladin, Ivan, a man that seemed almost too
good to be true, arrived, determined to aid the Sigil. The new arrivals
began to undermine the stability the Sigil had so recently found. But
they were not the only problem the group faced.
Stranded on a world they did not know, and facing foes they could
not identify, stress began to mount in the band of heroes. Unsure of a
direction, and fearing for their lives, the group began to argue. The
new and returning members of the group fanned the flames of dissent, and
the Sigil began to splinter. Then, when all was already dark, and the
Sigil was lost in the bowels of the Underdark, Kage declared he would no
longer lead them. The last thread holding the group together snapped.
Now, stumbling through the Underdark, chaos holds sway over the
Sigil. Bickering incessantly and eyeing their fellow members for signs
of treachery, blows have been struck, both mental and physical.
Splitting into two groups to explore the passages that surround them,
the scouts entered combat with a force of evil minions, apparently
working with a beholder. Although the minions were defeated, the
beholder lives on, and may be alerting others to the intruders in their
midst. The rest of the party has rushed back to aid the scouts, but
what does the future hold? Can the Sigil find the party cohesion they
once had? Can they come together as an effective fighting force once
again? And can they do it before the denizens of the Underdark descend
upon them, rending them into pieces, or enslaving them forever?
The Sigil is breaking...
