The Burden Must Be Shouldered...

The adventure starts in a small town on the Serpent River, about halfway between the headquarters of Houses K'tenshin and V'Strimon.  It's a mixed community (all the races are represented in one form or another) based around an old Kaer, now largely unoccupied except for the dwarven community.  About twenty years ago there was a fairly successful adventuring company based out of the town, which at its peak had upwards of 20 members of various sorts.  They got wealthy, built themselves a nice citadel, and were generally famous and loved by all.  However, time has taken its toll of the once great adventuring company – some have died, some have retired, some have just left to pursue other things.  The citadel now stands largely empty, save for a few semi-retired adepts who had nowhere else to go or simply found the surroundings a comfortable place to live.  Now, as the sun sets on the Company of the Green Arrow Path, a new generation is being trained up by the older adepts.

My name is Kata Zaidh G'dorren, T'skrang troubadour, and I will tell you the tales of the Green Arrow Path.

 
Final Update: The game lasted over a year, but we never quite got over the system.  We had frequent character deaths, used a ridiculous number of Death Cheat amulets, Last Chance salves, healing potions, booster potions, and a few resurrection spells.  We had high roster turnover because of it, and that made it hard to keep the story moving forward.  Finally, after one more unintentional TPK, Edmund called it quits on January 28, 2006.
