Nah don't feel bad, haha. This is all just a lesson in patience, which I need more of. I'm anxious to see the verdict, definitely, but there isn't any rush if more time is needed. Real life has a way of swamping people real fast and without warning.
If I leave at 4 without having posted the ingredients early, they'll go up as planned at 6 (actually a little after).
I'm at work, but I'm going to have to leave here for a meeting on the way home. I will be getting out of that meeting at 6 EST, so I'll get home about 6:15 EST, where I'll get on and post the ingredients. So, it'll be about 6:15.

Thank you for being so patient. Real Life (tm) was indeed a tad troublesome over the last two days.
I'll get a judgment posted ASAP.

Let me say upfront that I'm not 100% happy with not having MortalPLague immediately available to confirm that he gets them at the same time. Be aware that I intend to allow him a few extra hours, if he needs them. He did post earlier that he would get a chance to check for them from time to time while he's at work, so hopefully he can get them before too long.
Thanks for the judgment! It's detailed with plenty of good, important info.
Pour, you were a great competitor, and I honestly felt it could go either way. I'll have to think more about the details going forward, and your adventure, with its completeness, will help me with that. Thank you for such a great match!

Checking them now. I shouldn't need extra time, I've got almost all Friday free.

Spoiler:
Cornell Butterworth - Male Human Wizard 1 - Knocked unconscious by a kobold dragonshield the fighter ignored, then done in by the kobold wyrmpriest's acid breath.
Lithia - Female Elven Ranger 11 - Contracted mummy rot, which eventually did her in.
Brendan Stetlan - Male Human Fighter 4 - Knocked unconscious in combat, then thrown to the wolves.
Vindicator Mindartis Valenae - Eladrin Paladin 5 - Dropped by a githzerai monk (L6 elite), and killed when the rogue threw him off the balcony to try and get his body to safety.
Vongar - Male Dwarf Paladin 1 - Fell in battle after defeating Irontooth, but not his bodyguard.
Straef - Male Elf Ranger 1 - Fell in battle to Irontooth's Wyrmpriest.
I have to say, I'm really having fun with these elements. This contest really exercises one's creativity!

Comment on IVV's Entry
First of all, I would like to say that I love your use of the "granite shield" ingredient...a granite shield volcano? Awesome. But my inner geology geek has been wimpering like a kicked puppy, because well...there's just no such thing. Andesidic magma is just too thick, chunky, and volatile to form a shield volcano (in fact, it normally explodes into ash and pyroclastics on contact with air.) Only basalt, with it smooth-flowing pāhoehoe, can spread out far enough to make a shield. Molten granite doesn't "flow," so it ends up making composites or cinder cones instead of shields.
Okay, my inner geology geek feels a lot better.
That said, I love the mystery you are building here, with regard to the monastery and the halflings. Where did these exotic foods come from, if nothing grows in this volcanic wasteland? And I love how the demon's power, control, and even its life, centers around food and the magical frying pan. (A vampire? OF COURSE he would be able to defeat the demon...he doesn't eat!)
Brilliant use of the ingredients. This is my favorite submittal so far.
IVV, I also liked your entry very much. I also have a small question:
Spoiler:
Why a glabrezu ? They're tempters so that kind of fits, but how about the ghoulish Maurezhi. ? Wouldn't that have been a great monster for the food/gluttony theme?
I will not have access to the boards tomorrow, so I will be posting your ingredients at noon on Sunday. please post here that you have seen this and are ready to go.

Reporting that I have seen the information. Do you want to risk a little bit of overlap, and post ingredients late tonight? If you did around midnight, 48 hours would get until the end of Sunday, rather than a deadline on Tuesday.
