Getting Back in the Groove
Having COVID threw me off my groove a bit, so I missed last week's post (whoops). I did not get behind, but I realized as I went to make this post that I had forgotten last weeks. Anyway, both weeks are posted below!

Level 3, Rooms 6 through 15 (Floor 1)

Darkwater Crag Encounter List
