Nostrum earns his copper badge this week, having not just one, but two submissions in today's column. He gives us another prestige class with his Knight of the Blue Lightning and an interesting story of divine intervention entitled... Divine Intervention. The contest continues on with two new participants joining in and the casting of the first combat spell. I kicked in another entry to help keep things moving, which means that what I feared last week might actually come to pass this week--namely, that I'd be the target of a flurry of combat spells.

I'll be taking next week off from doing a regular column, as I have some things to do next Tuesday. I'll be doing a contest update, though, so please go ahead and submit contest entries in particular, and of course, you can submit any other type of submission as well. It just won't go up until the next regular update.

And so onto the column...

I'll be back next week for the contest, and then in two weeks for the next regular column. Until then, I'm outta here!
