I'm a bit old to go out on the town collecting candy, but I still have a good costume.

The Bewilderment ability makes up for the debuff to Intimidate rolls.

When you're on the site for four years, you pick up a few tips, skills, and personal advice. Not all of it is within this post. But this is all useful advice that I have taken into consideration.

Just look at this guy!

Then I decided to add some paint. And it got even spookier.

Up to Boston. An hour and a half flight later, and I'll be with my uncle to go to the temple together.
