4/23/14 - The event this evening was a success. First off, I would like to extend my deepest condolences to Erik, who was unable to attend due to a death in the family. All our best to you.
 Secondly, in Erik's absence, a thank you is in order for Kahn'a Od'hilkas for stepping in and leading the heroes at the last minute and doing an excellent job considering how little time he had to prepare and how much info I threw his way.Â
Third, combat seemed to flow smoothly and I want to thank Jana for the wonderful advice about Rolz.org
So what happened?
Well, in summary, Askier's package arrived ahead of schedule and was hidden without Askier's knowledge, wasting valuable time. Only moments before our heroes entered Vesper Bay, Askier received a linkshell message from his agent telling him the package was already there. Without the package in hand, Askier had to suddenly face down the heroes as they present him with a damning document.Â
At first our villain tried to deny the heroes' claims, but constant, and rather clever verbal assaults by the heroes stressed him and he made a break for the package, his allies holding back the heroes long enough for Askier to retrieve the package and decode the riddles. Unfortunately, his almost clean escape was stopped and he was badly injured. He was saved at the last moment when his chocobo rushed in and dragged him to safety. Askier now hides, nursing his injuries and wounded pride as the heroes must now uncover the secrets of the new message Askier dropped after the got the snot kicked out of him (Seriously, he took an arrow through the foot and a book to the eyeball. Does that sound like a good time? lol)
The heroes, meanwhile have sworn to stop Askier and are working to decipher the riddles.
So where are the riddles?
HERE IS THE DOCUMENT ASKIER DROPPED
Askier,
I'm bring in the shipments one week from today, same time. I'm bring one, two of my agents are brining in the others. As normal, the riddles hold the key in case this letter is intercepted. Ha, like that will happen. Anyway, I'll see you next week hopefully.

Part 1
On the coast near the sea,
There are buildings tall and free,
Standing wooden in the sun,
By the ferry, boxed for fun.
Part 2
Close at hand shall this one be,
In a box, on the dock, by the sea
On a mound of silver does it stand,
The shouting place loud with demand.
Part 3
Not by sea, but in the earth it lies,
Dug, not shipped, for death to provide,
All round, no one stood,
Dry ground is no good.
So what now? Now the heroes have a week to crack the code and prepare for Episode 3, the rules of which will be forthcoming.
I want to thank everyon who participated tonight. I felt it went well and was a ton of fun.
