So ends another year at Jackal & Hide! An intense one, to be sure, with an ending to match. This month saw the conclusion of Ryder's long and arduous search for his heritage, sending a party of dauntless Jackals into the depths of the Great Library for one last round of deadly riddles.
The company braved another blast from the past courtesy of Camerin. Initially in disguise, she led a trusted few along for what by all accounts seemed like a clear case of good old-fashioned payback, but soon took a turn for the sinister. Few escaped unscathed, and a visit to the nearby Matron's Reach clinic proved necessary.
And that wasn't all. Though it is well known that any true Jackal finds trouble around every figurative and literal corner, sometimes trouble is more careful to reveal itself -- and decidedly sneaky about it. Threads of intrigue spun into veritable webs as the company journeyed to Ishgard in pursuit of the elusive truth behind their recent misadventures in Coerthas; only suns later, another job in the Twelveswood went foul when a client turned out to have some particularly nasty employers of his own...
The company's healers more than earned their pay this month. Life wasn't all bad, though; the Jackal mansion played host to the musical masterpieces of Savo Kesslivang -- famed as much for her artistry as her fleas -- drawing dozens of fans from across the realm!
It's been a busy year indeed. Many new faces joining, a few old ones returning. Some found love, others found bitter enemies. A proud few even became parents.
Suffice it to say, we can't wait to see what the next will bring!
