THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. The log for this adventure is now up for mission shenanigans, generic camping threads, and whatever else your heart desires.. In light of my extreme lag time, I've adjusted the report due-date to December 30th. (If no one posts the log by the 31st, I'll survey y'all as to the outcome and post a report myself.)

Some details:

John will put Ellie in charge (if Charlie doesn't dig this, feel free to decide amongst yourselves who Ellie nominates to take point in her stead) and advise the group to follow her lead. The pamphlets are provided in bundles, the twine on which should be cut prior to each drop. Imperative to fly low enough during the drop to ensure the pamphlets scatter over the target, but to ascend quickly enough so as not to be an easy target for City Watch, etc. The guards are equipped with long-bows, which in and of themselves aren't likely to down a griffon in one shot, they can cause problems or even knock a griffin out of the sky if they're afforded unlimited shots.

I'm tossing a bunch of potential griffin-focused obstacles here for y'all to pick through, alongside what's outlined in the log, though feel free to disregard or to come up with your own.

> Pamplemousse can turn any object into a toy? Woe to the stray cluster of vultures that cross just slightly too close to the quartet of griffins. And woe to the party, if Vanya is dragged off-course while Pamplemousse engages in the world's most inconvenient game of tag. Can anyone distract Pamplemousse before its too late?

> The packets of pamphlets cannot be dropped from a height, which is bad news for Potato who likes to be up high and has suddenly decided to remain up high, regardless of what the mission requires. Can anyone persuade this stubborn creature to descend, or is it better to swap to a Plan B?

> Artichoke vs Blunder Supreme: WHO WILL WIN? Artichoke, who dislikes all his siblings, or Blunder Supreme, who is THE BOSS of everyone and everything?

> Stealth is key to the success of this mission, so of course Blunder Supreme must be persuaded to refrain from screeching her contributions while in proximity to Hossberg. Is it possible to placate this creature's contributions before she alerts every guard to her presence overhead?

> The objective is to drop the pamphlets, and let them land on the city. But as far as Pamplemousse is concerned, those pamphlets are being dropped specifically so she can fetch them. Keep her in formation, or cut your losses?

> Evergreen challenge: keeping these four in formation without any one griffon breaking ranks.
