"I have a confession. I have almost no memory of my life prior to a week or so ago. Perhaps an hour before I first met you, Bladetree and Axebeard. The Prince story was the first explanation to pop into my head. Until last night, I felt terrible for clinging to this story, but I've now found out it's true, in a sense. I am a Prince.

We shall march to the Dark Elf kingodm and pry her cold treacherous grip from the region!
And then we shall march straight to her front door!
I shall not rest until she is utterly defeated!

At the end of the path everyone exits the familiar gate - but now all are standing on the edge of a rocky cliffside, overlooking an endless sea of sand. The sun presses down on them as warm dry winds make their robes and hair dance.

Darkmoon Dagger stands furthest on the cliff and points to the center of the desert.

Hey Reaver, I know I asked this a couple times, but is there any chance of getting a party stat card? We haven't gotten one of those in a very long time, and I think it would be a good way to show how our party has survived all these crazy hijinks since the last party card.

I mean, Tot lost an arm (doesn't even wear face paint anymore), Raital doesn't hide in her traditional Blutjaeger garb (we should offer it back to her in case she wants it), Bladetree is in the party, Hans and Gunther are our only soldiers left, and by virtue of having names and having ridiculous faces I think they deserve mention too.

Anyway yeah, I think now would be an awesome time for a party card.
