iJust to let you, and perhaps Ged's player know, I shed a tear while reading this episode... Patrick hey thomas, first let me say that many a reader will weep when they read this episode. the quotes from the earlier episodes brings up an idea for the next episode (or the one in which you follow up on his last will and testaments), is that the group should reminisce some fun spots in past adventures including ged. these types of stories always seem to float around the social gathering after a funeral... matt Hmmm... What more can I say? YES! Finally, a next Adventurers episode! Guess you'll get swamped with e-mails now, so I'll keep mine short.. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! (Yessss!) And, sorry for shouting. :> Mike All right... the drought is OVER! Great story... really tugs at the heartstrings when you've been following the characters for so long. Anxious to hear how they'll connect with the dearly departed! -Marty good job on story 501. i like how you included the quotes at the end and how you also didn't forget to include endymion. it seemed to be really touching for everyone when all said their last good-byes, for even the mighty peldor shed a tear... Christian Thomas, great to hear from you again. Genuine sadness at the loss of Ged, who although he didn't start as one of my favorite characters, does leave a hole in the party and will be missed. Perhaps some part of the spirit of Ged lives on, protected by Lightbringer? Or he could make a "guest appearance" as an avatar sent down by Boccob... Good to hear that life goes on, it's much the same as ever for me. I was a student when Adventurers started, but now I've been settled into working as an Engineer (Electronic) for a couple of years. A bit sedentary looking at a computer all day, I should get into something like your exercise program. Adrian Yeah, I liked it. I thought the characters said sort of what they needed3 to say about Ged. Also, characters dying forever brings reality to the story. A lot like Babylon 5 versus Star Trek. In Bablyon 5, people die, and they stay dead. Star Trek sucks and has actually been changing their story line to resemble Babylon 5, where everything is not perfect. Star Trek has lost their way. I also liked the quotes you organized from Ged. Mark Wow, I finished 0-500 today and got to read 501 too... Truly Awesome, Now I have to wait a week..I am new to this but will wait anxciously.. Thanks for all the reading Joe Great episode, excellent narration. You did a pretty good job with the mood, it's a good thing I haven't had any personal losses recently, because I might've ended up crying my eyes out and shortcircuiting the keyboard. The one episode/week rate is fine by me, after all, good things are worth waiting for. Janne Hi there! First off, please add this address to the adventurers mailing list. Sec off, I _really_ loved the funeral scene in 501. It was proper dignified, respectful, and a little bit poigant. (sp?) I know somewhere Ged is smiling. I also loved the Apr. Fools epi. The Adventurers playing baseball... heh heh. ;) Ben
