First I would like to say sorry to Jim Sorenson for posting this news story almost a week after the event, but better late than never I suppose. Last Tuesday Jim updated his blog Disciples of Boltax, with the latest
Ark Addendum which was entitled
Enter the Nightbird (part 2). As the name suggests this entry follows on from a previous Ark Addendum, one that was posted by in Feb before Jim started to focus on the Ron Friedman auctions. The post continues with some character models from the episode and includes a bonus download of
the Partial Script for Enter the Nightbird: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5BWK6K3U
