Hey everybody, sorry for lack of posting lately, I've been having trouble finding the time. How is everyone doing? Everyone wanting to go on?

Well, we were looking for Isida to lead the effort to get the gnolls and hobgoblins into combat. Manzanita is not so keen on the idea. Does anyone want to NPC Zook and lead the effort, or should we wait, or should we just go after the gnolls? Doghead should be back soon, I think.

I was perparing to post, but thought people might be a bit confused. So I put together a brief summary of people and places that the group has interacted with or heard of. Don't be alarmed by the length, you will not be tested on this! I generally explain who someone is when I post, but I thought it might be useful as a quick reference. A lot of the characters are actually ex-PCs (we've been going at this for a while!). Let me know if I forgot to put someone/someplace in!

I'll copy that last post into my notes. I like it. No one else has commented on what we should do next. I guess I'll say again that Manzanita would prefer to set out for a direct assualt on the gnolls. This is b/c she sees setting the two forces against each other to be quite problematic. From a metagame level, if we do beat the gnolls, we'll probably all be 4th level, which should better prepare us for those hobgoblins, who seem pretty tough.
