sorry for the shorthand.


Nice session :) And congrats for pulling the victory :)

Well played...great session report. Even when things look bleak, when you claim a victory, it feels absolutely amazing!

Just to make sure, monster surges don't cause the DOR track to rise do they?

Nope. DOR advances only when monster dive into vortices or gates bump on seals
