It seems the battle for the Racquette has gotten heated. The Winter Wizards have decided to fall back into the North, but they aren't leaving us empty handed. They've cast one last spell to bring in the spring. With this little bit of snow, we've found something surprising, Winter Armor! If you were on the winning team during the Yule Quest, your loot has FINALLY arrived. The list of recipients is also available. Come get your LOOT Also, I promise future rewards will be quicker in arriving :)

Monsters, Apothecaries, St. Patrick himself, even the Duckichaun has gotten involved! Be careful out there, and even if you haven't been assigned a team, be sure to draw your random event! This time things are different, only one random event will buff you, all other events will effect your team, other teams, or they will give you prizes. And yes, some of them are just.. plain... mean... But you'll recover! Get out there and LIFT, HOIST,... uh... LIFT!!

- Presti the Apothecary has whipped up a ton of potions to help you and your teams succeed. I hope you all enjoy trying them - St. Patrick, a 6 foot leprechaun with a horrendous appetite for chaos came into town to town with an army of monsters. - The winter wizards summoned a snow squall that blew all of the monsters and fae out of town! We're not sure whether to celebrate or scold them for the extra few days of snowfall. Either way, the creatures will definitely be back in the morning...

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.

1. Teams! To know your team click the link here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11D9oTW1tqFvwSc19cpUMBin8tS-6a-MxQ7GxH6vt-DQ/edit?usp=drivesdk 2. If you cannot view that, don’t worry I’ll post team names throughout the Forge 3. Presti the Apothecary (see pictures) has brought his wares to the Forge! You will be able to sample them all day on 3/16 and you can bring yourself home some at a significant discount! We are still haggling the regular rate Presti will offer to our members, but his potions 🧪 will greatly enhance your performance! We have supplements now! I have gone back and forth with this company for a year now and finally made my decision. I know you’re going to love their flavors! 4. The Adirondikraken (as some among you have come to call it) has summoned a slew of vile monsters! We will need to slay them, but luckily I have requested the aid of the fae folk in Potsdam. Hopefully they will aid your teams in your quest! Random events have begun. Some will be prizes, some will be just plain bad deals. 5. If a new member who is not on a team draws a random event, the effect will affect ALL teams! 6. Now that mud season is upon us we have shuffled the shoes a bit. Please keep outside shoes on the desk side of the entrance and keep the sneakers in the sneaker area until we finish renovations. This will make cleaning easier for the grime gnomes. May you slay your dragon.
