I go away for a weekend...

[Ghost of Bob]

So, what the hell happened on Sunday??

[David]

It was a slaughter!

The party (Tauresh with Aziz, Rasul, Omar, Svala, Niranna, and Haseem) did three nights at the Mound of Forgiveness. The first night killed Rasul and nearly the rest of the party. Niranna took the second (uneventful) night off cuz she was too old to die so young. A monk named Shun joined the group an Niranna came back the third night, now a full 1st lvl mage. Unfortunately, the ghouls killed Haseem and Omar is rubber-quartered. They group survived and ELECTED to guard for a couple more night for pay. Again the ghouls got through and this time, after a fierce first fight, there was a SECOND wave of ghouls. Shun dies and everyone comes damn close again. Only Svala was on her feet (repeat of previous) and she gets help. Tauresh has spinal damage (he was awake, but couldn't stand and could only cast spells after someone game him goodberries) and Omar needs CCW to function. Those two are again in the debt of Beli'a and the Mosque of the Honored Elders.

Oh, yeah, and remember that the survivors of the game the previous week, with the bride of Umara, are owed a slight depth by the soon-to-be princess of Umara...! I believe that would be Anwar, Tauresh, and Niranna (now).

Dude, we need more standup fighters or heavy clerics -- this is the party:

Anwar -- assassin
Tauresh -- kahin (healer)
Omar -- mariner
Svala -- fighter (phew!)
Niranna -- mage (little old lady)
