You all have been good friends and offered words of encouragement when my childhood home burnt down and also when I got married. </p>

I hate to even ask, but is it possible to have a small epilogue where we reunite with our families and friends on the material plane? I am open to writing it, if that is fine with everyone? Just for some good closure. I too have felt the drain of 5 years of dungeons and have not been good about posting lately. But I would love for us to have a celebratory end instead of a fizzle.
