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!

Everyone, let's extend a warm welcome to the following new adventurers who've taken the leap to make 2026 the year they slay the dragon of fitness!

The rumors that the Yule Cat 🐈 was in the county were found to be true last night when a great and terrible stomping of toe beans sent tremors into the homes of the people of Potsdam. The Potsdam PD has come up with a solution. We will pile up as many tons of rope and tinsel as possible and turn the Verizon tower into a scratching post. But we need your help lifting all of this heavy stuff! Now is the time! We must unite to stop this menace! Here is how to play: Attend your workouts! Lift heavy! Do a few extra reps if you can. We will base your score off of the tonnage in turnkey. Next week there will be the potential for gaining (and losing) bonus points and prizes! But for now, LIFT This will go until Christmas day and we will announce the winner at our Christmas party on the 27th!
