Ugh. This is an insane week, and I think I'm coming down with something... I hate to do this, but I just can't make it tonight. Sorry about this.
I'm looking at the pacing of this storyline, and trying to bring things back around to the goings-on in more hospitable lands, getting the actual war started, etcetera. Once we've plowed through what I've got left, I think I'll be a bit dry on the DMing for a while, and would like to bring Fleck (or maybe Elena) back - so if anyone wants to pick up the reins in a couple months, start thinking ahead now. Drop me an email if you're interested and I'll let you know the major plot points you'll have to work with.
