<div align="center">(https://media.giphy.com/media/GoRa9C6DkjKBa/giphy.gif)</div><br/>Yikes, sorry guys, I said "Friday at the latest' and here I am on Saturday. I'm such a bad DM.<br/><br/>So, a couple of things...<br/><br/>1. You guys can definitely use the OOC to brainstorm a party name. it's fluff, but hey, everyone like group monikers! Keep in mind that naming yourself after proper nouns (i.e., "Blades of Sarenrae" or "The Molthuni Motherfuckers") might carry some consequences.  ;D If you want to instead have this discussion over some beers in the IC, that's cool too!<br/><br/>2. Speaking of beers; I'm just going to assume that the group is settling themselves into the "Tooth and Hookah," which is kind of the "local Adventurer's Tavern" - or at least one of the ones that still has space available given the flood of adventurers into Wati. If you guys would rather something else ("My mom says we can sleep at her place, but no parties guys, I'm serious! Zimora wipe your feet, and<em>nobody</em>go into the dining room!") then that's just fine.<br/><br/>3. You have basically a day to go before the lottery and entry into the Necropolis. Time to get any last-minute gear purchases, look for hirelings, meet the competition, or hey, get shitfaced and miss the drawing completely! or just skip ahead, all up to you guys.<br/><br/>4. I like random encounters. I don't care if any of you disagree.  >:)<br/><br/>5. I am not<em>some other</em>DM's, and have no intention of rushing you guys along - it'd be super hypocritical, anyway. But one thing with the opening of this AP is - even without my "prologue" addition here - it can be a little slow to get rolling. So there might be some nudging, some cutscenes, etc, to get to where action is going on. if you guys want to hit pause on that and expand on something - Say for instance I describe something in passing or an action that "just happens" and you want to go back to it - then 100% feel free to say so, and we'll do that!
