[@Banana], I do not want to revive Stride for use as a guest character if I can help it.  My preference would be to pull in someone else.

Out of the two people who nominated themselves as co-GMs, my choice is [@Sentel].

[@RoughDragon1], it's been almost a month since your hiatus began.  You said that you'd finish your NPC battle, but that ended up not being the case.  There's no better time to get back in the game, though, and I want to see you in action again.
