I had the great fortune to get an amazing secret santa that was able to give me that precious gift that all role-players are searching for - adventure!

My quest began with a rumour from a grizzled barkeep, hinting at a great treasure for someone brave enough to breach the cardboard tower and face the grave dangers inside. Boldy, drunkenly, I pressed on to find the the first trial - an undead horror shambled forth from the darkness and only great and terrible magics kept me alive [Grease]. Continuing further on, the undead came in even great numbers and even I, the great Sen Obyzal, almost fell but I used my arcane might to protect myself [Mage Armour] and then conjured wave after wave of caustic slime to sunder the unnatural bonds that held their remnants together [acid splash]. Carefully, cautiously, I descended to the penultimate level; aware that my greatest test lay ahead but sure in the knowledge that I would ultimately triumph. Stepping through the final door I beheld a grisly (but beautifully painted) sight, this was surely the leader of these foul horrors! I quickly created a living wall[mount] to temporarily protect myself from the mummies cursed touch before summoning up all of my strength to form a powerful trap to forever ensnare this monster [Stumble Gap] and all of it's struggles to escape were in vain.

Stepping down to the final level the weight of this cardboard dungeon already seemed lighter, cleared of the undead horrors that tainted the tower. On a raised plinth in the center of this final room lay a small chest and the reason I had journeyed so far - and inside? Inside was the greatest treasure any adventurer might find: identity, the story's end... and a cosy nap!

Genuinely, oh wise and noble Secret Santa, you have truly blessed me. For those that might not have read through my comment history my current character of almost 2 years is Sen Obyzal, the lazy wizard (read his name backwards). The figurine is a perfect representation of him and I really truly love it. The miniatures will also come in handy as I'm also a GM when I'm not playing as Sen. Better still, one of the players in my game is a necromancer so they will be doubly useful!

So thank you; once more; for the time, effort and thought that you've put in! I'm so glad that you were my first secret santa.
