The first one of these struck me as one of the funniest things I've ever 
read.
Congrats!

unto this: four warrior women destined to meet a most dismal 
death at the behest of the many forces of Darwin.  It is I alone, 
their humble guide, who can tell thee of their ruinous fate. Let 
me tell you of the final hours of this doomed party of 
adventurers!"
 

It's a damn good thing I read the above at home, rather than at the 
office, that's
all I've got to say.  I don't need several dozen co-workers coming over 
to ask me
what's so funny.

Those girls, during 
the course of the game, had walked into every obvious trap, 
angered several high ranking monsters, killed innocent NPCs in 
every village they had come across (making them wanted women), 
and generally got themselves in as much trouble as low level 
characters as they possibly could.  It was all she could do as a 
DM to keep them alive from one encounter to the next.  

Heh.  Takes me back to my own playing days.  I can JUST see this, too,
given the AZD crew.

Normally 
she'd just let them die, but Chiyo had no intention of repeating 
what happened last time they rolled up characters.  She couldn't 
help but wonder for the umpteenth time what she was thinking when 
she started this.
 

But, Chiyo-chan, isn't that often the case when you start things with 
your friends?

tall grass leading to Yukarimore.  The city itself is now visible 
on the horizon, and before you sits an elaborate gazebo."

	"I attack it!" Tomo shouted, 
 

(snarf!)  LOL!!!    This is just PERFECT for Tomo.

	Chiyo-chan goggled and Yomi choked on a swallow of her tea.  
"20 critical..."  Chiyo then rolled her dice, and looked at Yomi 
incredulously.
 

Heh.

	"And the Gazebo...explodes in flames.  Moreover, it looks 
like the blast knocked Tomo a safe distance away only causing her 
minor cuts and bruises."

(snarf) again!  I'm going to hurt myself laughing this hard.

	Osaka laid her head down on the table.  "Yeah," she agreed 
as her eyes took on a glazed sheen seeing herself in a black 
bikini outfit with a cute little steel Chiyo face holding the top 
portion together above her breasts, roasting marshmallows. All 
the while, dozens of Chiyo-chan Country residents, being led by 
Chiyo-chan's father, danced a happy-happy dance around her and 
the fire.
 

Heh.

	Finally she broke the silence, "You ever notice there's a 
distinct lack of guys that ask us out?"
 

"Not to mention a distinct lack of named male characters in our series?  
With one
exception, of course."

	"Nyamo-sensei probably asks the same thing," Sakaki noted 
to herself.
 

Not quite as often as Yukari does, but yes.

Excellent work!  More, more!
