> GM: Theo Posselt & Larry Lynch-Freshner
> Time: 6-8 hours
>
> You are members of the ancient and powerful race of Baboons, who once
> instilled terror across all of Prax. Now, your clan serves as a unit in
the
> Imperial Army in Sartar. Aside from the occasional confusion about
military
> etiquette (what, the officer doesn't want his nits picked? And he has a
> problem with my bright red ass?), it was quite the joy at first. But now,
> it's damp and muddy, and you really want to go back to Prax... after first
> dealing with this little bandit problem out in the swamps.

> Ducks are twagic. Twagic. And fweedom-loving rebel bandit ducks like the
> dwead soggy Pinfeather gang are doubly so. Ducks are serious. Twuly
> serious. You have to be serious when, driven by unspeakable atwosities
> committed against your kind, you sacwifice everything to fight the Evil
> Empire. Made scapeducks after Starbwow's Webellion, Pinfeather the Duck
has
> taken a motley collection of outcasts and wefugees and twained them into
> (by duck standards) a fewocious fighting farce. You make your living by,
> ahem, collecting tolls and donation, and hawwassing the lunar fowces
> whenever they appear. Now you hear of a new fowce of... something... in
the
> Lunar Awmy, and last night Pinfeather went away and hasn't returned...
