ALL : I know the characters are all gung-ho to do this NOW, but OOC we need to make sure that everybody's ready to go before we continue onto the Statue, so until then we'll be 'waiting' IC.  If you have questions ask them, but William and Darrian have told you pretty much everything they know about the Power.  I'd like to get an update on characters.  A) Who thinks they're done, but hasn't received an ok from me since their most recent character update, and what have you changed?B) Who needs to do work still, and what needs to be changed?C) Who's waiting on something I've skipped over answering?</blockquote>
