Into The Final Season...

The Third Season has come to an end and the Heroes of Karia Vitalus Awards Ceremony has been held.

In the category of Best Episode of Season Three the group once again broke gaming stereotypes by choosing an episode that contained no combat or action sequences: The Question. This episode stood out from the pack quite simply because it was the largest payoff in terms of exposition in the campaign. Questions that the party had been wanting the answers to since the beginning of the campaign were finally resolved. The Dusk Sages illuminated everyone as to the cosmic nature of the conflict they are involved in and set the party on a course which will either save everything that lives or end in disaster.

In the category of Favorite NPC of Season Three the voters were faced with a glut of choices. Many NPC's from previous seasons made appearances in this one, including early favorites like Aimi. However, the NPC who took the prize by a solid margin was one who has never actually encountered the party in-game, a testimony to the rich interweaving stories we have going on through the blog. That NPC was the unflappable Anakarix sage Jin Kalys. Using his unfailing Nine-Branch Formal Logic, Jin Kalys and his companions were able to spark a dramatic resistance in the city of Stardown with the odd combination of a First Mind artifact and the last Vorax egg on Karia. We all hope that Jin Kalys has more memorable moments in his future.

The player-characters also voted on awards for each other. The winners of these awards will be profiled in subsequent days. As we are now heading into the final season of this action-packed drama, we may not see another awards ceremony after this. Nothing remains, but to watch the exciting climax unfold...
