Adventure Notes...
The compilation of all our library research/ notes! Let me know if I missed anything. We're all meeting up tomorrow (Monday August 22 at six pm EST, or as soon as you can get there after) at the Loft to take off for our destination. Don't forget to pack your suitcase and wear your business casual! If you need to be humanized, or pick up a healing potion or whatnot at the bar, you might want to do that tonight or tomorrow a little early before we leave.
