A tale

Gather around. It's a good story. It's the tale of a group of heroes who saved this grove ten years ago. They saved lives, routed evil and asked for nothing in return.

Some of you, I know are skeptical. Why would they do that? OK, Querca was from this grove, yes so she would protect it. But what about her companions? Let me begin the day before the rescue...

They were set to return home after a trip through the Plane of Air when they reached their ship in the Astral Plane. Good times if you're a smartie, if the Githyanki and the Astral Beasts don't get to you first, ha. And so they met what was left of good old Fire Ender.

Some of you might remember 'ol Fire Ender. He was a good friend of mine, once I tried to pronounce his full name from memory. Took an hour but he was quite impressed a non-Tremen actually remembered his name.
