My final update pre-festive gubbins features what is, more than likely, the only appearance of Deinomache in this chapter (or, as my brother would say, 'that old lady'). I decided the main characters really needed a break from her, especially as she seems to become more unpleasant with each appearance.

Perhaps on Boxing Day I'll start getting around to some, you know, actual story. Until then, many Season's Happy Holiday Winterval Greetings to you all.
