3 things:

1) I'm going to start a new 'on the trail' thread the next couple of
days - we can continue with any pre-departure conversations in
'timeslip mode'

2) We haven't heard from Duplar or Dharak for a while.  You guys still
around?

3) I'm prepared to consider applications for one or two new players at
this point.  A 'native guide' would be a good PC choice here.  I would
also consider proposals for players to take over existing NPCs,
especially Kylar the soldier.
