Lost in Realmspace - Heroes' Feast Flavors of the Multiverse

Lost in Realmspace. Mourning the tragic loss of their comrade, our hungry heroes drift aimlessly in REALMSPACE! Another fallen comrade, another Total Planning Katastrophe, and only myself to blame. The dagger of fate indeed cuts deep. Whilst our time with Bri'An was short, somehow his death stings most profoundly. He was a dragon among men, a man among dragons.

I will never be a real fighter. I am troubled this day. What if Squirladax is right and there's nothing after death? No. No, it cannot be. Even now, the...
