PMs are a pain in the ass to repost, just due to how the PMs are set up. That's why a lot of my sidequests don't see the public.

I don't know who that is, so I can't name him/her as an inspiration.

GQM Note: Noted on the slowed thing, but the round counter truly does carry over? Could you point me towards where that was said? And yeah, Windy is me mistyping Flying. GQM: Should be all fixed.

"No, I suppose I don't." I relinquish the sword. (Sword of the Vampir)

Vaermina strides into the dining room. Fear follows her like a shadow. "Message from Immortalis." Seems like Immortalis didn't always sign his full name. "Told you he was watching. Best to listen to him, don't you agree? ...All of you, head to your rooms. But Siercon? Come with me." QM Note: PMs coming soon.

I stride into the hall, tattered white robes flowing behind me, and take a seat. I sigh, putting down my gear in the first time in forever, and order a drink.

QM Note: Next update may be late tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Big workload today, sorry!

"Do you truly believe you haven't gotten enough?"

Hey, there was a bunch of those no-name grey angels just training. They could belong to anybody, once upon a time! And there's a whole bunch of those guys, the six you've seen are just the notable ones...

I turn around. "Yes?"
