I'm extra excited about Christmas this year because I won't have to travel! That means I can keep up with my PBP games.
However, Mardo is in a situation where a horrible dead-looking deity is threatening one of his friends, who looks like she knows what she's doing (awesome work Bobitron!), so even though I'm giving this game plenty of attention, I can't think of something that Mardo could do that would be constructive. This isn't his forte, unless someone can think of a great deal we can offer the goddess, like, "We'll give you this glassware and sack of salt, complete with papers of ownership in case a legate bothers you, in exchange for the life of the girl!"
