We played last night, by the way, and the cat-o'-three-legs reached new lows of rat-bastardiness. Specifically, he taught us that knowing what's coming doesn't do you much good if you don't realize how fast it's coming.
Here's a teaser: It looks like Velendo's final words on Spira might well end up being: "Calphas help me bring forth a Wall of Forbltht! Blb! Achblblthbthblthhggablthbthlbth!"
We're so screwed.

Work and family
conspire to delay me.
Accursed monkeys!
My broken laptop
is now fixed by Dell today.
You know, that can't hurt.
I will take some time
setting fingers to keyboard
Productive Wednesday?
Anyways, you'll see
toads and mud and evil drow...
Bad-ass transmuter!
But work is better
I am getting much stuff done
it is a delight.
You folk are patient.
Should I write my storyhour
only in haiku?
It might go like this:
"Stone Bear kicks the poor ghoul's ass;
cherry blossoms fall."

I'm not entirely convinced you're using your online time wisely PCat ... composing haikus when you could be writing story hours indeed! 
So, do Velendo's last words work in haiku?
"Calphas bring me forth
a Wall of Forbltht! Blb!
Achblblthbth!"
It's the last line thats the problem - how many syllables in that?

Haikus are funny
but only the Story time
Will make us happy
And congratulations on fitting cherry blossoms in.

You're not getting off that easy, PC. Haiku are just too easy.
Use five syllables.
Then use seven syllables.
You can write haiku.
I want to see a sonnet. Or perhaps something in iambic trochameter.

Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,
The dear repose for limbs with travel tired;
But then begins a journey in my head,
To work my mind, when body's work's expired:
For then my thoughts, from far where I abide,
Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,
And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,
Looking on darkness which the blind do see
Save that my soul's imaginary sight
Presents thy shadow to my sightless view,
Which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night,
Makes black night beauteous and her old face new.
Lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind,
For thee and for myself no quiet find.
- W. S., Sonnet 27

I've never written a sonnet before, but the Shakespeare style is actually quite simple. I call this one...
On Spira and its Secrets
The work of sub-creation never ends.
Unbidden, strange new plotlines come to mind.
At times, it seems the world that Piratecat tends
Would give his players gifts they seek to find.
But other times, the road ahead's uncertain.
Dragons, kobolds, ghouls with powers unknown.
The players are lucky to acertain
The exit from the lands in which they roam.
'Tis true - Lord Kulp is creative and wise.
Why else would thousands read his story-hour?
But when the DM needs a big surprise,
Other minds are here online to scour.
If someday, Nolin finds himself quite dead
The blame doth line in PC's other thread.
