[sblock=ooc]I'm in Michigan now, right smack in the middle of North America.
Right, well, I'm back as close as I'm going to get to normal status, so it's time to get this thing running again. KenHood has been spotted posting recently in his game; are you back with us here too, Ken? Dunamin and Atriden are still MIA; I've sent them PMs. Hopefully they'll come back, but if not... We can do without Atreus, both balance and plot-wise, but we kind of need Woe, at least for the moment. I'll NPC him for a while, and look into a plot change if it looks like he's going to stay missing for a while.
Let's finish up with Skivean, eh?

"Shaky" Skivean looks incredulously at Kathalia as she blithely threatens to feed the poisonous dragon parts to orphans unless he coughs up some cash. "But... I thought... You said you wanted information! I told you everything I know! I thought we had a deal? Can't you just... I mean, I really don't have any money. I could, uh, give you some potions for them, but... Well, that is, sometimes they... Well, there are... side effects, sometimes. But not all the time! Usually, they work just fine! And usually it wears off pretty soon, if... Well, you know. But... If anything goes wrong, I don't want you thinking I did it on purpose, y'know?"
[sblock=insight DC 15]You get the idea that Skivean might not be a terribly good alchemist. [/sblock]
He looks forlornly at the dragon parts, as if mentally saying goodbye to them.
