Team Scores: - Maire's Marauders- 287,359.80 - Tyler's Tacticians- 273,356.00 - Richard's Retainers- 188,167.20 - Gavin's Grenadiers- 222,333.00 - Joe's Jolly Rogers- 304,536.40 Don't you forget, the first week's scores are NEVER indicative of how well your team will do! Next up! 1. The Apothecary's wares have been flying off the shelves! But don't fear, we will be able to order some at today's discount if we've sold out of your favorite flavors 2. The Fae folk have come to our aid! And just in time too- Random events start tomorrow, there will be prizes galore! 3. A few goblins have rearranged the forge floor over the weekend. We'd apologize for the inconvenience if we weren't so busy dealing with the goblin infestation (The forge is now more spacious, but the garbage and recycling have migrated to a different part of the facility)

Already I'm seeing many of you lifting heavier now that a quest is on. That's awesome. These events bring out the best in you. - Teams have been assigned, but you won't know who's team you're on for a few more days. - As of yet, no creatures have come to aid the river monster, but there are reports of levels of destruction that imply something is helping this beast - Three teenage gnomes were spotted roaming around the mall on Sunday night. They broke some glass and stole a package. If you know of their whereabouts please inform your Shapesmith. - A rubber duckichaun has taken up residence at the Forge. No one knows what it wants, and it hasn't blinked in days. - Loot generators are on order, adventurers may find more loot than points during this quest. - A sock goblin is on the loose and ripping holes in people's socks. All authorities have been ordered to shoot-on-sight, so adventurers may want to wear earplugs for a couple of days.

I had a great first week - Joe and Gavin were very patient and encouraged me!

I hope you all are doing well. I have spent the last few days meditating at the Monastery and working on a few side quests. While I have enjoyed the peace and quiet, the time has come to clean my tools and set up for my return to the Forge to aid you in your quest. But I wanted to fill you in on something. During my side quests I heard a rumor that a creature from one of the Adirondack lakes has been making its way down the Racquette River. I worry that if it isn't stopped it may make its way all the way to the St. Lawrence and there grow into a beast that could halt shipping lanes, or worse, destroy the power dam. If this is true, then millions could be at risk of being unable to charge their phones and look at AI cat videos. My bet is that it'll be here sometime in March. Who knows, there might be some rewards if we can stop it. Also I recently spoke with an apothecary about some potions and powders that could aid you on your quests. Details to come. Also...Also... Shirts from our Yule Quest... They are VERY late... But, as of today, they are on order!

Our very own @Tyler Hollis will be competing at the Hotlanta cup stacking tournament this weekend.
