The Arcanistplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Arcanist
Twilight is turning into dusk, and the Talons' training for the day is over. Still, there are two you have not yet seen, and Sensei insists that you seek them out. The Healer points you in the right direction.
After a lengthy walk, you see movement in a small clearing. Remembering your experience with the Archer, you approach silently, and watch from a distance. The last of the Talons is holding his staff horizontally with both hands, and has one foot raised in the air. He remains… The Archerplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Archer
You feel a mild sting on the side of your head, as if a few of your hairs have been suddenly torn out. You reach your hand up to touch the spot, and there is no blood. In the distance, you see an elf smiling at you. Having demonstrated his ability, the Archer quickly dodges into the brush and disappears. Kakita Bokudenplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigKakita Bokuden
In Faerun, Bokuden is far from his home. He hails from a land in far off Kara-tur called the Shou Empire. It is a land where mighty samurai battle for honor and loyalty to one's lord and Emperor is paramount. Since the coming of the Red Warrior, the Shou Empire has almost fallen. Bokuden and his master, Kakita Akahito were able to leave the Empire shortly before its collapse in the hope of rallying its neighbors against their enemy. The countries of Thay and Mulhorand both decide… The Bruteplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Brute
Moving slowly and purposefully like a mammoth seige weapon, Terrible Steel Hammer dominates your view. Though slightly shorter than an average human, he seems taller, as his thick arms and hands effortlessly lug a gleaming hammer across his massive shoulders. His clothes are simple, and without design, somewhat mismatched and betraying his giant frame. Surely this being has a purpose and cant be bothered with such trivial matters as clothes, you think. As he approaches, gray-brown … The Empty Handplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Empty Hand
The Empty Hand, also known as Calm Water, reflects his name well except in battle, when he rushes to the enemy, swinging each limb as a deadly weapon. He specializes in crowds, taking down hoards of kobolds or orcs before any of the others can finish off one. Essethraplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigEssethra
A light glows softly, not far from where you stand. You have followed it ever since it caught your eye a time so long ago you have almost forgotten it; minutes, hours, days have become one, you may have sought this light since time immemorial. It is the only light here, lancing through the broken, twisted trees that grow from the black, hell-blasted dust. The sun and moon must have fled from the sight of this tortured landscape long ago, for though the landscape is barely lit by a s… The Healerplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Healer
Acorn was never a large man, standing around five and a half feet and slender of build. Still, the three months that have passed since leaving the monastery seem to have slimmed him down further, leaving him painfully thin to the eye. Despite this, the calm warmth he carries with him in everything he has done since childhood has magnified. Emanating out from him is a sense of peace that stills the mind and calms the emotions of all those nearby. He wears simple robes, light bro… The Infiltratorplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Infiltrator
The Infiltrator, known more commonly as Hurricane, spent most of his spare time in the monastery in extra training, learning to become the best fighter he could become. Once out of the monastery, he became a fierce defender of the law. Sakaiplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigSakai
Sakai was once Bokuden's cohort but was released from his duty so that he may stay with the Talons as long as he wishes. Unlike Bokuden, he does not know about the monks' charge, nor is he currently in the service of any lord. He chose to join the party in order to find the missing prisoners the Cult of the Dragon plans to sell to a slaver. Prisoners that he and the monks could have saved. The Senseiplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Sensei
The venerable man watches you for a long time, his eyes focused intently on yours. Somehow, though you've never before met, you feel that he knows you well, and, after a time, you feel that you are getting to know him. He is wise beyond reckoning, even moreso than his years can account for. Although he appears frail and weak, you feel powerless before him, like he could strike you down as quickly and silently as could a trained assassin. You know he will not harm you, however, or at … Charactersplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigCharacters

The “Swordsman”: Small, wiry and probably of Shou descent. A fun-loving, good natured sort (think Bruce Lee in “Dragon”), the Swordsman was a dervish with his twin-sword style use of the Daisho. The Talons' Monasteryplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Talons' Monastery
A cloud of purple smoke envelops you, and you find yourself in a narrow, peaceful valley. Tall mountains on either side allow sunlight to hit the ground for only part of the day, yet the trees and shrubs and tall grasses are vibrant with color, and full of birds and other life. The Trackerplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Tracker
The wood elf before you stands at a mere 5'1“ with coppery-green skin, shoulder length black hair, and watchful green eyes that never seem to linger for long. His height is a poor match to his exceptional wood elf stature with broad shoulders and thick legs. You notice a twitch of his ear as he spins around, his massive strength obviously not a hindrance to his elven grace. He relaxes, apparently spotting what caused the noise you didn't hear. Just a false alarm, you surmise. Not th…

At the end of our spring 2004 sessions, the DM asked for player comments, in order to improve his DMing style. Here is what the players said:

This is a D&D campaign I was involved in for two years, from fall of 2003 to spring of 2005. It was a complete campaign, starting at level 1 and going up to level 17, where everything was wrapped up nicely with an epic battle. Campaign Settingplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigCampaign Setting
Our story begins in and around Leland-To, a large walled hamlet of 400 on the Shining Plain, a day from the Giant's Run Mountains. The only established human settlement for more than 150 miles, Leland-To is (locally) famous for two things. First, almost 150 years ago to the month, the adventuring cleric Leland (later Leland the First) foiled a Drow invasion of the surface led by the dark cleric Mahta-Jazeera. After his victory, Leland was made ruler of the town. He abrogate… The Wrath of the Talonsplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe Wrath of the Talons
