A long-time Company of the Three Kings member passed beyond the Black Gate of Death tonight. Rook the halfling thief made it all the way to Level 9, which is as high as I’ve ever seen a character go in all my games of DW. He was a great character, and he will be missed.
On the plus side, Aniket Schneider’s description of Rook’s Black Gate was really good. It involved Rook seeing all the treasures he left behind in his career waiting for him on the other side. I like the idea he passed beyond the Black Gate in order to finish the job.
Sounds pretty epic, even in death!

I can’t say choking on the exhalations of a giant frog was the most glorious of deaths Rook could have had. In the end, though, he died the way he lived – running away with his pockets full of loot.
