Suddenly there was a shimmer of light, and an almost forgotten voice said -
''Blooming 'eck what's this 'ere parcel on the doorstep !! ? ''
Excitedly, caution was thrown to the wind and the parcel was torn open to see what was inside. This was a near fatal mistake as out jumped a whole group of monsters onto a little tortoise. The shimmer started to dim, as the little tortoise nearly suffocated under the weight of all the monsters. Fortunately, a bunch of hero characters were also in the box, they jumped out too and a great battle was fought. ''Hurray, Hurrah'', - due to all the practice they had last year the Heroes were easily able to kill the monsters and the shimmering tortoise was saved to shine another day.
*Waving* Hi, transatlantic D&D friends :-) I had to find some time from somewhere to get onto the computer to say I never thought I would see the images of the characters which fought those monsters that appeared in all the heroic stories I read last year. How wrong could I be !!
I am thrilled to have copies of all the images involved, alongside the wonderful stories, in such a beautiful handbound little book, complete with comments. I am astounded at the quality of the carving and all the individual ideas for the images and can't wait to show my English letterboxing friends :-) It is amazing how many different ideas can come from each image.
I am sorry I wasn't around for the final battle, but I see another ring is starting up. Real Life™ should calm down shortly and so I hope to be around in the audience for the new battles:-)

Speaking of which, are all the characters still moving? I haven't heard anything lately...
