The keep stood empty this week, and no, that's not a dramatic setup—it's just the truth. Week 7 at The Roots DGC came and went with zero throws logged, zero dragons slain, zero loot claimed from the chains. The regular crew who usually storm this course sat it out entirely, leaving the fairways quiet and the scorecard blank, which, as your reluctant Dungeon Master, I find both unsettling and weirdly restful. Think of it less as a defeat and more as the raid party regrouping at the tavern before the next dungeon crawl—because in the tenth-of-ten arc of this season, a quiet week isn't a loss of momentum, it's just the calm before the format itself gets rewritten. Rest up, adventurers. The keep will still be standing next week, and so, apparently, will I.
