8FOLD: Mighty Medley # 36, January 2017, by Messrs. Brenton, McClure, Perron, Russell, and Stokes

... man.

Rainshade is my new least-favorite person!  Not character, she's written well, I 
just don't like /her/.  I don't think the Empress would much either, come to that.

(The Empress does have certain, uh, /countermeasures/ to both magic and mental 
manipulation, though it remains to be seen how well her usual magical defenses would work in 8FOLD.  But then that's why she's doing what she is...)

These are all fantastic, though I'm a little sad that I couldn't manage to finish 
the double length I'd planned for this one; the words will come to me at /some/ 
point, I suppose.  As ever, I am delighted to once more be in the company of such 
distinguished and capable wordsmiths.
