3. The Grapevine:
WALDERN'S FOLLY
Ever put your dinar where your mouth is? That's how strongly we feel about
our commitments to our players! So when GameMaster Waldern's self- inflicted
deadline passed with a certain project not quite ready for prime time, he
graciously lived down the moment with the help of his friends and took his
flogging like a man.
There was some initial confusion as a plethora of our Mentors stepped forward to claim that each of them was the REAL Waldern to spare the Warrior Guru any pain, but in the end, our hero took his punishment like the good sport he is!
NEW HUNTING GROUND!
A long time ago, in a land not too far away...a host of soldiers were conquered,
but still feel the need to seek revenge upon the living. The undead rage
war upon those souls brave enough to venture to the ancient battlefields
near the city of Thebes. Do you dare go where unearthly suffering seems
never-ending?
