<span style="font-style: italic">Well, it looks like the holiday season doldrums are in full effect. We had some very rapid resolution of the first two encounters and an excellent pace for the first couple of months, so there's no harm in a little slowdown. I just hope that Alephnull and zeusthunder haven't forgotten about this game entirely. If it was just one player who wasn't posting, I might temporarily control the character to move things along, but I can't continue with just one active poster.<br/><br/>In the meantime, I may write a few vignettes involving other characters who the PCs haven't met yet, such as Rella the Insatiable herself, and the other two factions (the Crew and Karun's army) which haven't received much description yet. Although these will be out-of-character knowledge, they will hopefully give the players a slightly better mental image of them when they finally meet.<br/><br/>...plus, it's an excuse for me to write more vore. Likewise, I would encourage Akiada (the most recent poster and presumably the most active) to write up any stories from Marrok's past he might like to explore, if you'd like.</span>
