DND
This session went much better. I didn't write anything for the blog while we played because we were pretty much in the middle of combat the whole time. There narrative suffered a bit, but it was fun to have good old hack and slash.  Three of our party got nabbed and we had to rescue them. It was our DM's method of taking all their stuff away. Every few levels we all get this leveling adventure. The people who were picked lost all their crap and suffered some indignities. Sara (playing a paladin)handled it pretty well. Interestingly, Brisn (not to be confused with Bryan (two different people)) griped a little bit. Alexis took it very well. She seemed to revel in the chance to shine. Man what a difference from her old self. She used to be the most depressed person. She got some help and now she is truly interesting. Anyway. We managed to rescue the others. Now the drinking and whoring begins. We gained a level or so. We are ripping through the levels like mad. Pretty soon we will get into the teens. I find the lower levels more interesting. It's all about Wizards after level thirteen.

Insurance
Insurance companies are on the news right now griping about paying out on insurance. They say $1.22 was paid out for every $1.00 taken in over the last couple of years. I say they lost too much money in the stock market and are jacking up fees to cover their losses. Insurance is a racket.
