Prepared Speeches

As we enter the Year of the Dragon campaign, you have only to look at that tombstone to see Fuxi, the most scholarly of dragons perched, with a book in his hand.  Taking time from reading, he stops to explain the origin of the world with the on-looking crowd.

Although it make look to the uninitiated like Dr. Michael is the one talking, if you listen with skillful ears, you will hear Fuxi, explain physics and metaphysics, in the ways that only he can.

As Havell Fitz, his Dungeons & Toast guild campaign character from the previous Toastmasters year, the Year of the Harengon, Patrick recounts Havell's journey from fledgling arbiter, archaelogist, and ambassador to hero in the climactic battle with Lucifera to prevent her ascension to lichdom and save the lives of baby Harengon's.
