Back From the Dead

So, after almost a year of inactivity, I decided maybe it was time to renew my space in the blogosphere. A couple of things provoked this move; a little more time and a lot less stress this year, some comments from Dave who said that he still checks to see if I've written something, and the upcoming mega game culmination this week.

The game we've been playing has lasted for the better part of 3 years....or more. There have been some incredibly memorable moments and characters. Some of those characters have died, gone from the game. Knand was one of them. Actually my favorite. He appeared in the game by accident, befriended by Hanuman while they were trapped by the Deck of Many Things. Knand had character, not one that I created, he just sort of created himself. The best thing about Knand was that there wasn't a fear of his death. Actually, it was sort of expected that at some point, he was destined for the afterlife. But, on the way, Knand was living freely.

This week will be the "final battle" with Orcus, the final confrontation in the Castle of the Mad Arch Mage. I'm hoping for a miracle. I'm hoping for a vision; fat, sweaty, dirty, extremely hairy, bits of hummus still stuck in his beard......Knand deserves a chance to be there. Deserves a chance to die again, gloriously.  My other characters are prepared also, but Knand has a certain flair for......death.
