After what feels like forever, I have just about kicked school to the curb and Byrne Faraday can finally come off of hiatus! Happy times! Sorry for missing so much, guys. /o\ It's been a stressful number of weeks and now it's all over. THANK GOD.

Byrne shall be jumping into NS here in a few. A question for the Renamon and Niikura muns: are you interested in backthreading those threads from Doyleton or would you rather drop them? It's been a long time, so I'm not opposed to dropping them if you'd rather not pick them back up. I leave it up to y'all to decide. :>

Oh yeah...I do have a brief hiatus-time coming up the weekend after next (A-KON weekend!), but that's then. I am free for now!

So, after all of this time, there will actually be a real reason for people to go through the basement challenge, and that is because it will grant access to the Caverns! Yes, it is finally here.

I would like to say first and foremost that Kaze and Jansen are to thank for this. They did all of the work on this project singlehandedly and without prompting, which Erin and I were totally blown away by. We did a few minor tweaks, but the credit goes entirely to those two, so please shower them with all of your thanks because they did an amazing job.

So without further ado, here is the map and the area descriptions!

As you'll see, not all of the details are being revealed, but we do have everything worked out. We're keeping the contents of those test chambers a secret, but I will say that there are currently ten different randomized options that will be picked from when any brave characters get that far. (ALL NPC MODS, see here for full details.)

This is something that will be announced ICly as well, hopefully soon.

As always, feel free to ask any clarifying questions and we'll do our best to answer them. And with any luck, we'll have another part of the map opening by next nightshift as well. (Yes, I am being a tease. 8D)
