It's pretty clear that the gods are the problem here. I don't know if any of the bigshots here are going to actually convince people to head up Mt. Olympus -- but I think we should try to beat them up there. To do some recon, if nothing else.

Who's with me?

You're welcome to come along. If it's more than you expected, you're free to turn back -- this isn't exactly going to be a walk in the park.

We might not run into them, but if anyone can weasel their way in with anyone who follows... Anyone staying in Iolchis should keep an ear out too.

I will certainly see if I can accomplish this. I cannot say what I will find, however.
