I'm going to keep the short-responses limited, because I don't want to end up with one group or character getting too far ahead of others in between "real" GM posts. Hopefully that's not too big a disappointment to anyone, but I did want to give you all a little bit more to go on in between so that each player could do a little bit more than just wait to see if something works or make some blind attempt at their own plan without any relevant info on what someone else is doing at roughly the same time.
