Soon to be seen in terms of an update is most likely Creature of Fenkenstrain (it needs final polishing and bug checking) and will be followed closely by Witch's House and Legends Quest. Legends is a royal PITA but it needs to be done and over with, I'll have to put my magic touch on it. Dio is about halfway done with Witch's house as well so that puts us in the QP req range for Legends, they'll probably go in at the same time. Possibly all 3 quests will go in the same update? We'll see, I fear Legends will take longer than I'm hoping it will (I'm currently to the point in the quest where you ongo bongo make 'sun metal' bowl and free the shaman and look at a strange door / break rocks).

After that garbage I'll be on the much awaited Desert Treasure track. Troll Stronghold was also recently started on, so after those puppies it'll be RFD time, wew.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to ::bugreport,
