[Wids]

I think that last night's in-game get-together (with Corella, Enevold, Djed, Veybold, et al) was called for the sole purpose of exploring these new spells. Corella showed off Obscuring Mist with her grand entrance, Djed and Veybold cast Animate Objects and "kidnapped" local furniture objects several times, Hazlok welcomed the whole motley into Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion...I think that was it, but I could be wrong. Mirella rejoined Corella there after the two partook of a merry jaunt through Amruthar's crypts, where Mirella also demonstrated one of the new Detect Evil powers and Corella demonstrated the new SFX for the animal buffs (Bull's Strength, et al).

So, splendid work on being an innovative server chief and keeping this server as fresh as fresh can be, Thayan. Cormyr and Ravenloft can eat Thay's dust.
