I am about halfway done. Stuff came up Mon/Tue. I started working on it again this morning, but got nowhere before my wife needed help with something and ran out of time before heading to work. It's top of my mind, though! You'll see it soon, I think.

Team Lake & Team Infiltrate The Kayaks were not heavy, but the were somewhat awkward, occasionally scraping on the walls, or tipping sideways when carried over the uneven and steeply-plunging ledge-trail. Loklafd was at the front of the train, with one hand on a kayak's bow, and the other...

I know I'm late to the party, but... Fireball can't be an "Encounter Ender" when we're in an edition where you get to do it multiple times a day. It also used to have the drawback of being difficult to place without the sacrifice of 'friendly fire'.

Working on it! It takes me about four or five hours to write a judgement, what with how often I also go back and re-read the entry in its entirety. I can't always make that time in a single sitting, which adds time when I have to remember where I was at and what I wanted to say... Plus, I...

Team Lake With Guldred eager to reistablish his standing with his lizardfolk community, it seemed best for the group to return to the upper lake. Loklafd suggested that it would be far easier to carry the kayaks up along the bank-ridge, rather than to try to paddle them up the steep, narrow...

Team Caves It turned out that Pikki and the other kobolds had fled down the tunnel to the east, returning to their caves. On their way out, they had trampled out the waning torch that had been dropped there, and had murdered the unconscious mercenary guard. This was all discovered some time...

Yes, that area is also ultimately where Stryke is leading Team Infiltrate. They're just trying to get away from that Elf Fanatic lunatic and find a place to have a short rest. The cave with the obelisk will do, but they've got to get rid of pursuit first.

Oh, I do expect that Team Infiltrate and Team Lake will meet up soon. I don't think that I would find it easier to run one humongous group over three. IF all the groups meet up at some point, I would probably like them to split (with a new split, for interest-sake) into two. Two would be fine...

I generally have a narrative and some character motivations, yes. I don't always share it with other players, though.

I still mean to get our pace back to something a little more consistent. Please, all of you, do your best to help me. Again, I'd be happy with updates more like twice a week, rather than the (if we're lucky) once a week that we've been seeing.

Team Infiltrate The elf-cultist had thought himself far enough away and removed across the gap that he had only concerned himself with ranged attacks. He was wrong, as Copper's long legs carried him across the narrow gap and as the elf tried to scramble to his feet, the goliath stabbed him...

Team Lake As his people argued, sitting along the banks of the Pit of Teeth, Guldred thanked his allies for their part in sending the Usurper away. He had little prospect to become the next leader (in fact, there was a question of if his order of banishment still remained). He clearly wanted to...

Team Caves Torhak slowly stuck his knife into the mercenary while whispering in his ear. The mercenary cried out, suggesting his reluctance to continue toward the south, his only reasonable exit, "But I don't know what's down there!" In the dark, Shamal came to his senses. On his knees, he...

I had an Aussie teacher when I was ten, who taught me "Six white boomers, snow white boomers, pulling Santa's sleigh through the blazing sun! Six white boomers, snow white boomers - on his Australian run." That's all I remember. It was 1984, after all.
