Sorry for the delay, folks. Thanksgiving weekend turned into a little bit more "work" than I had anticipated... Christmas blew up at my house this weekend so I got to spend most of my time climbing around on rooftops tangled in an ungodly amount of lights.
Anyhoo... hope to post shortly... if things get too far ahead of me, and if no one else lays claim, Jal will take the bug-mage's staff and amulet. He's curious, y'know?
