With my overly long thank yous out of the way I figured I'd put my questions in a seperate post.

1. What rally happened with Aldrydd and where was the witch plot supposed to go? Was Aldyrdd quasi alive? WHat was that damned witch's goal????? I hope you haven't forgotton as waiting to find out the answer has literally been a dream of mine for like 2 years. Also Aldrydd's death always gives me chills when I read it you made it that creepy so props as a writer and GM. The sweet moments with Elodie before it just make the horror even greater.

2. What was Aaron/the Black Knights goal?? As an aside Aaron was my least fav PC I created as he was bland due to my own fault. Owen and Aldrydd were much more compelling and fun to play.

3. How were you going to approach Owen's attempt to revive Kara?? Would it actually have been like Greek classics with a trip to hell/ the underworld like Orpheus did?

I'd love as much answers as you willing to give as these were all questions I was looking forward to discovering the answers to, unsuprisingly since they are the key points to my PC's characters lives and deaths in some cases! I always hoped that OBSM would end after Owen had got Kara back so one of my characters could end on a happy note, unlike death by witch and zombie. Hopefully a happy note was in Owen's future. That being said I think Owen and Kara's rommance was a great one in the tragic sense. Her choice to fight and subsequentlly die sword in hand against a king was one of my fav moments. Also liked Owen's development into the Kingkiller I liked how Owen kept killing everybody he met including some really important figures to John's anoyance

A month later, let's see if I can answer those questions :p I hope you're still around to see them!

1) Aldrydd's soul had been claimed by the witch. His spirit was her slave. The witch was a type of elder faerie - the same sort of being as Grendel's mother. It was bound to the Chute Forest, but when Uther died, the boundaries between Faerie and the real world started slipping - and the imprisonment started slipping too. The witch was going to try and free herself and get revenge on the Faerie lord who imprisoned her.

2) Aaron had no particular goals apart from smacking Saxons around, but he would have come back for a Ghost Knight vs Zombie Knight throwdown. No detailed plans there.

3) Owen could have gone to the Underworld to get Kara. There were two catches: firstly, the only person who could have helped him was the witch (and no one was around who knew about Aldrydd and the witch!) - this would have been a major plot point in wrapping up the witch's storyline. Secondly, Kara was dead for some time, and she belonged in the underworld. The only happy resolution would have been Owen getting closure before Kara returned to the underworld. I definitely intended to give Owen a happy ending after that, the nature of which would have depended on what was going on at the time.
