	Greetings once again, Edgelords and M'Bladies! We have a bit of a situation building up, but what fun would this be if everything was easy? All I can say is that, like a video game, if you start seeing trouble it means that you're headed in the right direction. To wit, here we are. Whereas violence is always an option, it's really only a viable one for Baronfjord right now. 

	To BB's situation: What can be communicated has been communicated through DMs and I am waiting on a roll to be resolved before I can make a hard and fast ruling on how the events will proceed. At a crossroads, like. But we'll get into all of that in DMs or in our Discord OOC and get it sorted right out. All good here. 

	To Kat's stall tactics: They worked. Mostly. Congratulations for that, even if we do have one making for the Tasting Room despite your best efforts to keep the groups centralized. The bit with Rens is flavor text; the gilding put over the more mundane explanation that almost everyone decided to stay put on account of Kathryn's antics, raising the party atmosphere for those who, deep down, wanted something less formal and more ...boozy... Cecily did say no, but she's still sticking around. 

	Those in the Study: Kosara's new little friend has tipped her off that someone [i]is[/i] coming. Past that, descriptions for what she found in and on the desk are in our DMs, do with that what you will. As far as Victoria is concerned, there hasn't been enough time to do a full accounting of the journal, and there sure as hell hasn't been enough time to complete the ritual with the graveyard dirt. So that's where she is with that. Info to ask questions, not enough to answer them yet. 

	Per our usual, let me know if I missed something, and please be in touch via Discord for thoughts, comments, questions, and rulings/die rolls. And of course:
