If people concur with Randal's suggestion to stay the day and night at the mansion (or consent by silence), I'll scroll time in my next post. It would convey the results of Toria's suggestion to look for the guy who was mentioned seen fleeing through the hedge maze - at the modest loss of suspense, no evil treants set to ambush anyone there or the like, so it needn't be done in real time.<br/><br/>Also, I'll probably drop Tacky / Arivel unless he posts to the contrary or I hear from him. Easy to explain in-character: after a taste of those twins he opts for softer living.<br/><br/>(Clearly I need to quit having my NPCs try to seduce all the male PCs - am 2/2 on it preceding drops!)
