Last night's Black Wyvern battle and subsequent events from it were possibly amongst one of the best DM events I have seen over the years.
DM Herald proved to be very flexible and open to the creative ideas our group of players came up with including the involvement of another DM's NPCs. RL days and many hours of planning and meetings seemed at first to be for nothing and I wasn't all too confident we would succeed, feeling even like we were being set up to fail. But this plot ended up having everything from forcing characters to doubt their decisions, to moral conflicts (internally and with each other) to multiple heroes getting time to shine all the while having a very challenging encounter with hostiles. The players ended up working together really well too and I feel like we had just the right amount of people involved.
Never before had a DM event end in tears for me. But the ending of this part of the plot involving the slaves managed just that. It was touching, emotional and beautiful.
To DM Herald, DM Avalon Soul (and hidden DMs I do not know about) and all the players involved from Cordor and beyond, thank you for an incredible story. This will definitely go down as one I will remember for years to come.
