Okay, so, the delay was not intentional, but came together from a combination of laziness, genuine fatigue, and forgetfulness. However, I will note that the previous week was my spring break, and I am now returning to my more normal collegiate life. This sort of delay may occur again, though I will keep it to a minimum.<br/><br/>Secondly, a somewhat belated note about Eshalu's now-distant defense roll and outcomes: unless you have a sincere desire to defend with Athletics, Fight is also a valid defense against melee attacks. Obviously, doing so would get you no stress, as opposed to one.
