A new plot began! There will be prizes upon completion, so be sure to check it out and get involved! So far, the injured Eivyonydd has spoken to a Doctor Peter Gruer about his mentor's condition and received a list of ingredients while his friends wait, and Kioni Levenworth and Piper Kin have gathered up the rest of the needed supplies.
Sabrina Casius returned briefly with a cold in a visit to Le Bon Cafe where she met Exodina Mirel.
Sabrina Casius also paid a visit to the Wainwright Brothers with her pet lemur, which ended in chaos.
Having met while babysitting, a disguised Xanth led newcomer Amlai Henneth to Le Bon Cafe.
Dazadi Rhea patrolled through the Scorpion Desert where she found Zephyr Cairbre's sword, and on to the Yondallar Rainforest where she found evidence of the abandoned Valhalla camp.
Newcomers Evangeline Schelle and Jenna Elk met in Le Bon Cafe.
Piper Kin was glad of the business sent her way by Jenna Elk.
There's a rogue vampire on the loose in Espur.
Piper Kin took her pets for a walk on the outskirts of New Alexandria.
Iris Levian visited Xanth's statue, but her view was blocked by the rude Zephyr Cairbre, who then went on to summon his dragon, Slythe. Meanwhile, Dazadi Rhea made her daily report to Xanth and Evangeline Schelle admired the flowers.
Having convinced them of the night-time dangers of Lake Cora, Isis led Kioni Levenworth and Naava Makani back to town where the latter darted off to catch a ride home. Left alone, Isis offered to take Kioni to the local hotel.

Updates

I left a reminder to create or update your character journals.
Sadly, due to a recent influx of spam- and pornbots, I was forced to put passwords on all our guest-friendly boards. Recent testing proved we're still under attack, so I can't remove those passwords yet.
Our resident moderator, Russ, asked members to be more careful when choosing font colours.
Trivia Test #8 ran throughout October and answers were posted on November 3rd.
There was a big area update where I merged a number of subforums and posted the new Regions in Elysia description thread. We also relaxed the thread presence rule.
Members were asked to post their wishlists for Xanth's Grotto!
I opened a discussion on Elysian Currency and I'm waiting for more input.
I posted a new Index of Links in Announcements so you can find what you need quickly.
I also reopened the discussion on Character Ages.

The Giggle Squad

"Still it was likely to cost him another arm and another leg; good thing they didn't have to be his." ~ Zephyr Cairbre, thinking about the demands of his dragon, Slythe.
