Alright, I thought we had a great game! Finally got up to Iros Forge after 
all these years. Things are starting to get interesting back in the city, as well. I'm excited 
for the next game - I think 1401 is not going to be a year where the party has a shortage of 
things to keep their interest.

Next game will start exactly where we left off. The town is booby trapped, the Odessan Vanguard 
and their Hobgoblin allies are marching down the road from Iros Forge, but have been bogged down 
for a couple of days by Al's harrassment tactics. The army is currently only a couple of days out, 
and they are probably now wise to Al's tomfoolery. Remember that  big long storm that just went
 away one day? If these guys have a hand in it, a sixth level druid by himself will not be 
difficult to deal with. 


ALSOS:
-FYI: I added everyone's char sheets to the wiki for ease of planning and whatever. Spoiler in 
that it gives stats, but no RP spoilers should be there. So, Sarah, your Undead Outsider status 
is still a secret, and I didn't put alignment on there, so don't worry Matt Allen! You're all safe.

-Another Friday game next time, sorry. You were all troopers this time around. We'll see about 
getting a good saturday run going.

-Helen- updated your experience in fantasy grounds. Did you give yourself the points for regenting 
Zealeus? You're currently around 13.5k.

-Al: did you tell anyone anything particularly... peculiar... about the guy who reamed out the 
hobgoblins?

-Achievements: I know trav got one. Anyone else?
