The battle was long and hard, but everyone had a great time. I think it really showed my guys some fantastic things with 4E D&D that they didn't think were possible. A big round of applause to my players, and of course the adventure's designers, Sersa and Jerry 'Dread Gazebo'.
This took place on Sunday March 20th 2011 in Baltimore, MD.

Spoilers Ahead!
The fate of two of the characters in our long-running Paragon Tier campaign, Yusht and Mal, was decided by their actions in this adventure. The group achieved a score of 290.
Intro music artist: Nile
Song: Die Rache Krieg Lied Der Assyriche

Although a few minor storyline details have been changed to fit the details of our campaign, the rules as written have been followed to the letter. For example, Hadriel (Jon Paul's character) is the long estranged husband of the now female Iron Lich.
Dungeon Master - Casey Steven Ross
Hadriel (Tiefling Mage [Pyromancer]; Enigmatic Mage PP) - Jon Paul McLaughlin
Sir Nelwyn (Revenant [Gnome] Cavalier) - Karl Toruk Zahn
Yusht (Halforc Ranger/Fighter) - Alexander Johns
Ootahl (Goliath Warden [Stormheart; Radiant Serpent PP]) - Erin Sylvester
Mal Deschaine (Changeling Rogue) - Ryan O'Rourke
Brother Quinn (Human Cleric) - Sean O'Connor
We recorded with two junk-ass microphones hooked up to my laptop, but even still, the sound quality is really bad. So, watch out for that.

Hey, Hadriel's player here. I kinda pulled a fast one on the DM at the last second. In the character builder I made a Mage version of Hadriel, but at the last second I came in with a hexblade. I was actually weighing the options at the last minute and decided that a Hexblade would be faster to play. I'm kind of notorious for eating time figuring out what I'm going to do with the wizard I play in our long running campaign.
