Hello all,

By now ye are probably sick of me making news posts. But don't worry,
this is the last one for a while. Especially since we still got those
Lavender Crystals in Richter's city.

I'm going to be restin' up this next year or so. I'm glad we beat the
Gnodfather. (Yeah, right, who's "we", it certainly wasn't me). It was
nice that we finally got that family out of here.

I just wanted to say thanks and apologies to a few people, and say
something before I go lay low for a while. Gotta rest up before the
Vernal Ascendant rituals.

To Jolly Bundy, I hope it wasn't me who gave the Gnafia the idea to
kidnap ye. I feel very guilty after that news post I made. I gotta learn
someday not to take a tiger by the tail. Also sorry to his boyo Gorky
Hardbottom--again, I'm real sorry. Although I am curious to know the
relation of Big Mama to ye.

To Madame Sylvie, I'm sorry I wasn't much help with the rats, but what I
couldn't make up in martial process I was able to help ye both
financially by paying mercenaries, volunteers, and other boyos to kill
ye rats as well as provide ye with some financial support (I hope) to
cover ye losses.

To Vasnier and Yzerios, thank ye for originally investigating my leads.
I am really sorry ye got used as an example by Ellie Tooter. And I
especially want to thank the Serenwilde crew for helping me investigate
Aetherspace, after a crazy dream I had. Also thanks for Lendren's
interior design skills in making my attic a nice den.

To New Celest, thank ye for going easy on me when I did a naughty thing.
Desperate times yielded desperate measures, and I gave into temptation.

To Drayl, thanks for some interesting conversation. To Sotsepmet, thanks
for the nice eats. Also thanking my long term boyos Shulamit, Doman, and
Wuylinfe, as well as the rest of Hallifax for letting me tag along when
ye was investigating the Gnafia. And thanks to all the others I missed.

To those dwarven boyos, it was nice of ye to visit, but please, next
time, be a little nicer in the presence of the ladies. Also, ye better
be careful of strikes in the future since I don't think Hallifax
appreciated it.

To Iytha, thank ye for letting me translate the Book of Bollikin. I hope
that helped the entire Basin.

To Xenthos and Malarious--I appreciate ye getting back my gold, and I
understand the thoughts, but gold is never worth an innocent life--even
if it was of that amount. I tried to get the Serenwilde to raise her in
the tree but instead they fed the corpse to the pixies. I do get the
feeling I was being a little railroaded though, so on that level I
appreciate it. Sorry, I can't remember the name of that distinguished
personage--I had never been to that neck of the Basin before. Anyway, if
that boyo ends up being raised by the fates, I'll try to make it up to
ye somehow.

And to the entire basin, thank ye for beating Vito Bondshredder's
henchmen!

Be well Basin!
