Chimeron Questing XXXI: Lights in the Dark Blackwood Joe and the LABrynth of Doom

IC:
Adventurers of the Realms,

	With the discovery of Foundry 13, our research into adamantium and Draconian gemstone technology will be improved considerably especially now that we have a method to efficiently shape adamantium. Thank you for all your hard work in getting the forge back up and running. With that being said, I suspect much of my time will be spent investigating the immense stasis field surrounding the black city, and monitoring the shrinkage and what dangers may lurk within the field.

	Despite their large attack Friday night, the members of Harden’s Torch we encountered made an uncharacteristically silent exit afterwards. We certainly have not seen the last of them. I will keep a watchful eye out for them, and I implore you to do the same. They are likely more dangerous than we give them credit for.

Yours in Discovery,
Professor Mia

OOC:
Hi All,
From the staff of Chimeron Questing XXXI, thank you all so much for coming to our event. We had an enormous attendance of 94 people. Even accounting for court-only attendees, that number is so many more people than we ever expected, and we’re absolutely floored that so many of you wanted to come to our quest.

I’d like to extend a huge thanks to the people who made this event possible: Max M as our head NPC, Hillary F for taking the job of camp boss when you arrived, Becca S for writing the incredible Friday and Saturday night escape room mods, Crystal W for helping with mod scheduling and timing, and Kathy F, Eric W, Sky R, Pat B, and Jerry P for helping out with ideas and writing for several aspects of the event, from Trappings to mods. Thank you to all of our amazing NPCs who showed up: Crystal W, Becca S, Ryan K, Owen L, Eric S, Thei R, Tim M, Sky R, Jerry P, Kathy F, Pete B, Justin B-H, Amber F, Mandy F, Eric W, Katy C, Ryan W, Char L, Hillary F, Ethan K, Mikey D, Stephen S, Nixon S, Ian P, Gerry C, and Sean V, and to anyone else I may have missed. Thank you to Steven Koval for providing the amazing food on Saturday, and to Kim and Dennis C for helping out with food Saturday and Sunday. Thank you to Becky B for coming Sunday and helping around wherever you could. Thank you to all the PCs who helped us clean up in the rain, I sadly don’t have a list of you all but know that your help was very much appreciated.

Thank you again to our wonderful voice actors, with Crystal W as Phina, Nixon S as Quig, and Ryan K as Palamos. [You can find a copy of the voice log transcripts here.](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J03dl_7W4s8BUrPjXskfz-tvwq4XlKXCEVpMrxcZAPM/edit?usp=sharing) I will add a link to the compiled audio files in that document in the next week or so.
Please leave a review for the event and [fill out our PEL](https://forms.gle/2eFsmFJEk3m8P11d8), we would love to hear what you liked and didn’t like, especially as we tried out a few new things for this event.

We will be re-introducing Story Shards! The form is not quite ready, but we will send out an announcement when it is. Due to the proximity to the next event with Chimeron Trappings (Heroes for Hire II), we cannot guarantee responses by that event (assuming the form is released before then), therefore we will let you know if you have to take the Career Adventurer trapping if you fill out a Story Shard relating to Cerulean Company’s plot between now and that event.

Lastly, we would like to congratulate Max and Dan on joining Chimeron, and a huge congratulations to Baron Diamond for being inducted into the Magi of the Realms!
