I'm sorry to hear that. Was looking forward to the event and the friendships it would gather.

It seems the danger is past for now and Valorn is quick to respond to dangers if something comes up.


When will it be rescheduled, any ideas?

In regards to the competions How about pm'ing them to Euclide via Janelle for the time being. I think [URL]http://www.darkgrimoire.com/bb/privmsg.php?mode=post&u=4835

When she is about I will tell her about this I don't think the quiz's answers should be seen by everyone.

Sorry.
