Relic, absolutely f*cking amazing man, excuse the language, but it's meant to emphasize how superb that story is. And we have to put up with absolute jokers like Ed Greenwood (READ MY RANT ON ED GREENWOOD IN THE BOOKS SECTION) publishing garbage like Spellfire! Your short story reminds me a lot of a pull-no-punches movie like Saving Private Ryan or Aliens, you are able to a) effectively set the mood for your piece with the malevolence of a coming storm; b) humanize your characters (something Ed is PITIFUL at) and c) superbly portray the horror and violence of battling one of Faerun's mightiest species. Your tale brutally brings us all to the reality that this is a RED dragon, a Son of Tiamat, not some overgrown lizard that you can stand back from and cast Cloudkill on 10 times and beat. You know what I mean?

THIS is adventure!

Absolutely brilliant, and don't ever be afraid of posting anything like this, this is excellent. Ziroc doesn't believe in censorship - unless your post is racist, sexist or trollish, and it was none of those.

When's the next one coming up?
