Well met, all--
I had to share this piece of fiction, which was written by one of the players in my ongoing Forgotten Realms campaign. Ben plays Suriel, an elf invoker (a sort of priestess for those not up on 4e lingo), who is coming to terms with a destiny that involves the elves, the drow, and the Crescent Blade. (We're using/subverting the Lady Penitent series.)
This particular piece guest stars such luminaries as Kyriani Agrivar, Lady Saharel (of Spellgard fame), a couple of my characters (Fox-at-Twilight in her 1480s incarnation, Lady Lorien from Downshadow), and a recurring and hated NPC (Xara, a rogue Lolth cleric and Suriel's half-sister). And there's one particularly powerful guest-star who shows up at the very end.

Also a piece of original fiction by yours truly: http://community.wizards.com/zephsright/blog/2012/03/16/the_shadows_gather,_a_short_story_about_suriel_written_by_erik_scott_de_bie

Any questions, thoughts, feedback, ideas, etc, about the campaign? I'd be very happy to hear them.

Particular type of scotch? I prefer Jack Daniels Single Barrel whisky; but if you have a favorite... |

I don't have that source. What's it like?
The 4e Tomb of Horrors is a mega-adventure that follows on the heels of Bruce Cordell's previous "Return to the Tomb of Horrors," which is itself a follow-up to the original Tomb of Horrors. Basically, they go along the same lines: Acererak is siphoning off life energy to empower himself, through various means. In the 4e one, he has multiple "reflections" of his original tomb, all of which are gathering energy, and the heroes eventually fight through to a graveyard of deities that Acererak is absorbing.
My campaign is pretty much the same, only with Larloch cast as the lich, bent on absorbing enough power and pieces of the broken Weave to become the new god of magic.
That's one of the subplots anyway--there are lots of things going on, not the least is Suriel's unfolding destiny as the force to redeem/destroy/empower the drow.
SPOILERS OFF!!!

SPOILERS FOR MY PLAYERS AHOY!
This next adventure they're headed into takes place partly in Moil, the City That Waits, and from thence to what the heroes have come to know as the "Shadow Keep" but originally had a different name: Warlock's Crypt.
That's right. Larloch.
It's gonna be AWESOME.

Awesome! And I love the inclusion of Lady Saharel.
