Wow! Thank you everyone for the nice words, and to all who attended. I haven't gone through the log yet this morning but I think we had approximately 16 defenders of the temple! With a group that size things get a bit chaotic, but really I think it turned out well and that number just helped reinforce how chaotic and unpredictable that attack is/was intended to be. I'm very happy the event was a hit and we had such a great turnout on such short notice.

But I do also want to give a special thanks to the 'Flaming Five' (er...don't take that the wrong way!) players who did sacrifice PCs to make the climax of the event as memorable as it was: DarkRanger, Purulent Carcass, TheSupremeForce, Anya Sandragon, and ChrisGman. Most of those PCs were very long-term and high level characters that no doubt had a lot of time and energy put into them by these players to get them to where they were. My hats off to you five for being willing to part with them a little early to help tell that 'great story' I was talking about.

How's the saying go... "I'd rather burn out, than fade away"? These characters definitely did that! :D
