Started my demo game on Friday, got through a quick explanation of role-playing, and an ultra-quick summary of the rules. Dished out the characters, and got stuck in. By the end of the allocated time (40 mins), they'd just reached the first combat, against 2 ghouls.
Highlights:
The characters chosen are Tekkis of the Pelenan Wastes (human barbarian, a cross between Conan and the original Tekkis), Telos Greenleaf (elven ranger, Legolas wannabe), Malifex (human sorcerer, bit of a madman), and "Fat" Jack Tavington (human rogue, a pirate). "Fat" Jack was chosen 'cos "pirates are cool!"
While travelling the dungeon corridors, they encountered a closed door. Rather than try to open the door by conventional means, or even having the rogue pick the lock, they elected to take the barbarian's axe to the door. True to form, the hideous door monster took their first two blows with a scornful disdain.
It's amazing just how quickly the old patterns emerge :-)
Have they discovered the poison trap that the Rogue always fails to disarm/detect yet? :P
