<p>I'm not necessarily in the mood to write a long epilogue for Niklos, but he's completely serious about buying that boat with Edda—assuming she's willing to take him on as her first mate.

In the next month I'll be quite busy, so for now I'll stick with the games I'm already playing or running, and in the future I believe I may give other systems a go, most likely Numenera.

That's <i>very</i> unsatisfying, not being able to finish a story. However, another module or some other short adventure would be ideal.
<p>The playtest already destroyed any interest I might have had in PF2, so I'd rather not go in that direction.</p>Well, Niklos is ready to leave as soon as everyone else is—and everyone is carrying as much treasure as they possibly can!
