After much consideration, I believe fatigue is starting to set in all around.  I promised this RP would have a definite ending and it shall.  I'm going to go ahead and push that ending forward quite a bit.  Instead of a series of missions, we will consider the quests we're on to be part of one grand mission that will take us to the end.  Sharpen your blades and tighten your armor.  It's going to get real bloody real fast.
