[QUOTE="Abciximab, post: 5837767, member: 46017"] [B][CENTER]Session 29.[/CENTER][/B] Lamashan the 21st. We have decided to take some time off for scribing and equipment purchase. We teleported to Kalabuto to see what magical equipment there might be to assist us in our adventures. I know Max and Taraz are interested in protective equipment. I shall spend the next few days scribing so that we can finally sell this spell book we acquired. [Center]----------[/Center] Lamashan the 22nd.
