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)

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.

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.

The monster in our river has caused some degree of flooding all over town! How this was possible I do not know, for how could a river monster bring the rains? I have called forth a winter wizard to bring one last gust of winter our way in the hopes of keeping the floods at bay. Because you all have labored so well so far, I have also summoned an apothecary. Even if you don't have a session next Monday, you may want to stop by to sample his wares! *Hint, this quest will be different from quests we've done before. There will be buffs and nerfs that may permanently affect your team's weekly scores. **Hint, hint, I've told you big things are happening this week, stay tuned!!

Keep your eyes peeled. Next week will be a big one!
