Players could choose to do as little or as much as they wanted, with the caveat that they could not expect me to convert whatever ideas they had into an full (or even a minor) adventure. Come what may, we would be starting Schism the following week.Here's what they all got up to (spread over a couple of posts):GUPTA DOWNTIMEAs the dust settled in Seobriga, Gupta made sure to touch base with her Panoply contacts, including Ludoso, Roderigo and, of course, Melissa Amerie.  She helped them to raise a memorial to the fallen of the city, similar to those raised in the foot prints of the colossus across Flint.  She laid flowers for poor Bian. Melissa wished her luck, and asked that she keep in touch.  Melissa felt that in Korrigan’s unit she had found an embodiment of the Panoply’s ideals ‘raised to a position of authority and power’.  It gave her hope for the future, she said.  She gave Gupta a list of fellow journalists she corresponded with throughout Lanjyr. Although she could make no personal recommendation for any of them, their writing showed consistency and like-mindedness.  She had met one or two and felt they were trustworthy.Gupta and Xambria returned to Flint ahead of the rest of the unit, who were diverted elsewhere for a while. Delft expressed a desire to partner them up once Xambria’s condition had been examined and her fitness for duty established.  Gupta, for her part, asked to continue her association with the unit, but Delft was not to be drawn. Something in the manner of his deflection reassured Gupta that she was being taken seriously, so she did not persist. Her file made a positive note of her survival, to which the results of certain tests were appended:Delft sent her for tests with Isaac Dan Der Grimnebulin, Mayor of the Nettles.  Gupta met him and was introduced to his thri-kreen ‘wife’, which was disturbing.  The mayor’s tests confirmed that her tissue had gained remarkable regenerative properties, presumably from contact with Doctor Von Recklinghausen (with whose work Isaac was reasonably familiar). Gupta returned to her extended family: the folk of the Thinking Man’s Tavern, the oft-frequented haunt of her parents.  To her surprise, they threw her a huge party, and seemed to know a great deal about her adventures in Ber: healing the sick; thwarting the Ob; defying Beshela; defeating a dragon tyrant!  It was enough to impress even Gupta!  The celebration ended with a rousing chorus of the Rock Rackus classic, An RHC Hero is Something to Be.</blockquote>
