Sorry to hear that buddy, being stretched thin is no fun and I probably did not help matters by going missing for a few months either.

As for what is left to come in the thread, the portal is not going to last for more than two or three more posts, but I do plan on bringing in one or two more beasties and a final boss by the end.

Though honestly Stare could probably one shot them =P

I'm sure you noticed I'm dropping a few plot points, but you don't have to worry about most of them because I am just setting a foundation of series of quests later.
