Saturday Night in the Landing: Raising the Bar. Vlashandra completes the portal by sending reapers at it and brings forth a somewhat nebulous humanoid body. Landing defenders split forces outside and inside the portal. Vlashandra finds a place to begin the next part of the ritual–and burns her book. Everyone inside escapes, Vlashandra closes the portal, finishes the ritual and lets the body take shape for its new host: the returned Barnom Slim! https://bit.ly/2Mpwhiw
