The Holidays are upon us, I'm packing my bags for my first (and probably only) trip to America, everyone in the office is preparing their minds for rest, which usually means overworking to get all projects finished before this fridays Christmas Party..

As usually happens with a new group, the initial excitement wears a bit thin and real life gets in the way, as a result, I expected some players to cancel or quit. My second group is rather full, so I transferred some of the players over, to allow both groups to have a good mix, maintaining english levels. Also, Our Resident Barbarian in group one, was ready to return to play, so I needed to catch him up also..  So, group #1, as you may remember had just defeated two Clan Rat...
