I hope everyone had a great time playing this year's Summer Solstice
Celebration!

I've reviewed collected data regarding Starving Rock, and further tinkering
to make the scenario fair for lower level players is definitely in order. 
We've got some good tools for building specps for lower level players that
I need to take advantage of, and we'll probably just swap out the most
deadly mobs for some new ones.

The way the Puzzlewood quests played out this year was interesting.  I
observed that the scenario was heavily played through the first week, but
lightly touched for the following two.  The first part didn't surprise me,
because I expected players to be prepared.  I was a bit dismayed in the
lack of interest after the first week.

Of course, there are folks who don't really care for either one of those,
so we had the anti-Takari missions.  I think I managed to capture the
frantic portal-killing aspect of the Chaos corruption summer event, but
they fell short in the defensive department of the Drakdrol event.  Being
swarmed by loads of weak enemies is atypical in this day and age, so my
hope is that the strategy offered a nice change of pace.

Mission 3 was a remake of the firefighting trial from years ago.  It seems
like it was bit too hard, something I will have to fix before using it
again.
