<h5>Attending</h5>
<p>Clockwise round the table, starting with the DM at 12 o'clock:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>M.A.F. as DM</li>
<li>P.D.F. playing Kelvish, the arrogant Eladrin wizard, and acting as scribe.</li>
<li>T.K.B. playing Grimnir, the reckless dwarf fighter.</li>
<li>B.MC. playing Wrathgar, the dragonborn paladin.</li>
<li>C.A.H. playing Angore, the indispensable human <strong>[¿is that right?]</strong> cleric.</li>
</ul>
<p>J.H. was unable to attend, alas.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="introduction">
<h5>Introduction</h5>
<p>Since J.H. was unable to attend, and our regular campaign was at a
point where all the characters needed to be there, we switched and
played an alternate game, starting with the adventure from the 4e <a class="reference external" href="http://wizards.com/dnd/Product.aspx?x=dnd/products/dndacc/217120000">D&D
Roleplaying Game Starter Set</a>.</p>

<h5>Actual Play</h5>
<p>Encounter 1: killed 2 goblins: 2 black blades. 10 cp, 40 gp. Found
map of village (Harken) with Cliff's Brewery circled.</p>
<p>Encounter 2: killed 2 fire beetles and several goblins, spent most of
our time in a cloud, wedged the door shut, and fled.</p>
<p>Interlude: Got the villagers all set up in the rundown stockade, ready
for the goblin assault. Bad guys left during the night.</p>
<p>Encounter 3: Loot the ancient evil tomb! Jar of healing potions, 5
doses. Long sword +1, evil. Studded, ceremonial high priest of demon.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="aftermath">
<h5>Aftermath</h5>
<p>In after game discussion we decided that, although most of the
concerns we'd had about 4e were valid, we still had fun, and would
look forward to continuing this as a campaign when our regular 3.5 D&D
campaign couldn't run.</p>
<p>We each got <strong>+800 XP</strong>.</p>
