Good job Nate I got mixed up recording that 1/4 way through.
Two problems though
1) Weigraf attacked the DM's not Pythos
2) Kale went peacefully and didn't kill and Forestmen

Two problems though
1) Weigraf attacked the DM's not Pythos

Whoops! Fixed now! I stayed up 'till nearly eleven working on this, so I had a feeling I'd screw up somewhere...

2) Kale went peacefully and didn't kill and Forestmen

I never says he kills any Forestmen. I merely note that he battles and then is taken captive.

Nate, I can't tell you how thankful I am for you doing this. This month's recap should go better - I only have 2 more courses to go.

Awsome job, and thank you very, very much for doing this.

Congratulations, Nathan, and good job.

I have to say though, that some of those one-liners are pretty funny.

Hindrich works on a clock.

That really tickled my funnybone!

[Robin Hood]

Great job Boss. Some how it seems a long way off already.
