I had to jostle her awake to finish off the end boss but that didn&#8217;t help the powers of evil.  My mage made a final bow during the final battle and her dwarf dealt the killing blow.  It was a lot of fun.<\/p>\n<p>The sad thing is that we started our 16 hour adventure many months ago, months before the <a href=\"http:\/\/plan.thewoottons.com\/archives\/000062.html#000062\">birth<\/a> of our son.  In the rush to prepare for, and then have, our little baby boy, we&#8217;ve left little time for dawdling and little time for gaming.  Finding one of us on the couch with copious amounts of free time is a rare sight.  Happening upon two concious parents with time to play is an aberration, an aberration that often leads to other things (like cleaning).<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, I&#8217;m surprised she not only puts up with my gaming habit but joins in.  Most normal men wouldn&#8217;t look kindly towards  a wife who swings an giant axe and quaffs health potions like there is no tomorrow.  I&#8217;m no normal man.<br \/>\nCombining one my loves, gaming, with the love of my life is a personal joy.
