Thanks!  All the miniatures and terrain belong to my friend Gary Lange, who scripted the adventure.  I think he bought the Monkey Temple on line or at a convention.  We played a rule set that he is developing called RPXpress, a storytelling miniature/rpg engine.  Larou was my hero and Father Labou was his dependent (in my back story he is Larou's financier and thus needs to be protected).  My force also included 4 crewmen that were basically extras.  The characters had a full range of skills just like an in an rpg and so things like negotiation, observation tests etc come into play during the action.  Results were jointly determined, so the game had a cooperative element in terms of directing the plot.

We've played a follow-up adventure since then, I just have not had the time to post a new story.  Your praise encourages me to get back to writing that up!

Gary plans on running an event of RPXpress at Gen Con this year, so if anyone is attending check it out, he's a great guy and runs great games!
