Well, my birthday is officially over. I "celebrated" by treating my players to a brutal combat, though all of the Company is still standing. The fight isn't over, but the tide may be turning in their favor, as Morningstar just layed down some firestorm-flavored smack that killed one of the prime villains' two powerful servants. But the main bad guy is still up along with the other of his spiked-chain-wielding, rage-inducing minions, there are blade barriers all over the place, and a few remaining [spoiler redacted] are still making a nuisance of themselves.
Anyway. 36 years. Am I really so old as that? I guess so. Thanks so much for all the kindly birthday wishes, and for your continued readership. For the record, the Story Hour is holding steady at about 10 runs behind. In real time, the Company first spoke with Mystic Peralta in late October of 2004.
