Again, I'm sorry.  I did a poor job setting things up on my end that, and once folks started splitting up then going silent then disappearing outright, I just couldn't keep it together.<br/><br/>Anyways, the big, mysterious secrets y'all were dealing with.<br/><br/>The north had an infestation of six-armed psychic super-girallons sending their monkey minions to collect food.<br/><br/>The monastery's deep, dark secret known only to a few involves the fact that when a dryad gives birth, nature flourishes.  So a few of them were serially raping a dryad as the ultimate fertilizer.<br/><br/>Grond is actually a gnome in a gundam, which is treated as a golem (and gnome) with the symbiotic template.  The gnome gives it things like proficiency with mountain plate and unfathomably massive swords, and some superpowers like flight.  And, being a golem, that means infinite spell resistance (which is why the charming young would-be assassin failed the spell resistance check before even rolling).
