Speaking of which, is there anything in particular
that you want to narrate for that scene? Tallboot the
Centaur, who was your guide in Kanthor Forest and rode
by your side in the attack on the mercenaries will
certainly be there. The Priestess of Tarinwood will
also give her blessings as this is Aldryami Forest.
Jareena would also be a very appropriate character to
be in attendance.

There is also the very fitting moment of the burial
occurring just after the night of the full red moon as
well.

Oh Aalmon! Truly wicked ;-)

I think we may be finding a way to transfer those Hero
Points currently invested in the Twinstar Spirit, eh?
