The Story So Far...

We've only managed to play a few sessions so far, and have another planned for tomorrow, and I haven't been keeping notes as I have for my other game; not enough time to scribble down the unfolding story; so instead I shall scribble down some notes here, partly to how that this campaign is actually being played, and so I have some sort of record as to what has gone down:
  • Three would-be adventures, monster-hunters, explorers met when a hippogriff broke loose and they killed it;
  • They were given a job by a nan whose life they save: to retrieve a stone book from a tomb in the catacombs. This they managed, after a couple of trips and exploration (and looting) of the tombs;
  • They explore more catacombs, slew giants rats, giant corpse fleas, avoided and got injured by traps, found some treasure and have so far survived;
  • Recently they ventured down to the surface of the Weeping Chasm to get some blood to sell on, earning a tidy profit, and hoping that nothing comes bad from selling the wrong sort of blood.
The three 'heroes' are Jacqui (fighter), Ishi (mage), and Black Raven (formally Grey Wolf, an assassin). The have gained a magical shield made of glass and a extremely rare Staff of Wizardry from a trapped tomb that they managed to bypass (randomly rolled treasure).

They have managed to secure a portion of the catacombs for their own use, have a contact who offers them jobs, and are proving to be quite capable for a threesome of 1st-level characters.

We shall see what happens tomorrow.

Memorial

Today would have been Millie's 3rd birthday. The funds we raised to dedicate an acre of ancient woodland and a memorial bench has now been completed, and the bench now sits in a wood near my hometown. These are the maps of its location and how to get there. We won't be able to visit it for a good few months yet, but look forward to doing so. Good news, for those who do not know, is that we now have a beautiful boy, my son Rohan Robert Forster , nearly eight months old, healthy and strong and amazing. It makes dealing with the loss of Millie easier. This is him, from a recent outing to some nearby woods: Happy Birthday Millie. Love from you mum, dad, and your brother Rohan xxx

A Eulogy for Our Daughter

Image
Yesterday was the funeral of our daughter. It started by the two of use viewing her body, which was so much harder than I expected it to be. She looked so different, so very much a body rather than the little girl who left us. Although it was difficult, and there were tears aplenty, I am glad we saw her one last time, if only for the sense of closure. The funeral itself was lovely, and it was nice to see so many of our friends and family in attendance, most of whom had to travel a fair distance in order to be there. Some of them we hadn't seen for years, as we'd lost touch with people with all the trouble of the past few years; so it was nice to reconnect, albeit under circumstances that we wouldn't have wished for. Lorraine wrote a eulogy for our daughter, which I thought I would share here. To our dear family and friends, I just wanted to say a huge thank you on behalf of Simon and I for the outpouring of love and support you've given us over the

Amelia Iris Forster RIP

Amelia Iris Forster: born 31/10/12, died 26/01/13. My daughter died last night. It was the most awful experience I have ever been through, and not something I ever want to go through again. No one should have to experience that, and for all those who have, my heart goes out to you. She died in our arms, as peacefully as she could, and I don't think she felt any pain in the end. But it was hard, awful, and I can't get those last minutes out of my head. With time that will ease, and I'm remember her the way she was when she was getting better. For now, we will deal with the grief, sort out her arrangements, and allow life to move on to whatever happens next. We are both strong and coping well all things considered, and I know we'll get through it, but for the moment it is painful, tearful, and bloody hard. We were lucky to have our families with us yesterday, which gave us the support we needed to see us through the day. Our thanks and love go out to them.
