Apologies for the lateness of the report, I went out to dinner last night and didn't have time to get online to write this during the day at all. If it makes any difference, dinner was lovely, and I need to figure out how to make rocket pesto.

1: The Murder Mystery League kicks off TOMORROW. The first phase will last for two weeks and involves Houses collaborating internally to write a single murder mystery scenario, complete with dead body, clues, and killer. Providing the actual dead body is optional. ;) Your QUA or AED should co-ordinate the discussion and writing of the scenario, and should also be responsible for sending it in to me.

Phase 2 will be involve solving the mysteries that other Houses have written, so if you solve a mystery keep it under your hat!

Full rules will be sent to your QUAs and AEDs today to forward on down to you. The top placed House will receive the Sword of the Avenger, the second placed House will receive the Ring of Wrath.

2: Monthly Topics continue. If you don't know what they are, ask your QUA/AED or come to me. They're due in on 31st October at 11.59pm EST.

3: Can I remind everyone in the Krath that we now have a new resource in the Combat Centre so kindly coded by KP CyberGuy and JH JaM3z. You will find it at http://www.minos.net/~mairin/combat. You can sign up and get started fighting people straight away. As Combat writing of this nature is likely to feature heavily in such competitions as the Krath Wargame and future vendettas, signing up here and getting used to the rules, the character sheets, and the style of others' fighting will be invaluable. Go forth, sign up... It's good fun and, even better, you get to kick the crap out of people. What better way to spend your weekend? :P

4: Following votes on the Krath Summit mailing list, I'm currently working on a structured plan for the promotion and reward of Quaestors and Aediles. This will be debated on the Summit list once done, and additions and changes incorporated. Once complete, it will be submitted to the MAA, DGM and GM for approval.
