ok, I want to try the best to get a meet together next week, I'm probably willing to drop even my work if we can find a whole day for our and have a decently long meet

.
until then, things that need done:
Me: write a bunch more updates ><, update party analysis once the entire party is posted.
Marty: organize those squads
Dave & Squall: finish characters, especially char description/personality/history
Judson & Scott: finish & post characters, same as above
i also suggest you guys stock up supplies for this battle, It'll be longer than a normal meet and there's a high possibility one will run out of spells and any other /day abilities.
if you have questions, ask dave & marty, they're familiar enough with the campaign setting.
