(Pax1138 may be talking about real-world time; I'm talking about things like the fact that the ominous "murder dwarf knows where the goblins' peaceful village is" was at the beginning of book 2, and since they left Brassmoon City the plot has become tiny occasional bits of plot in a sea of "look, another simultaneously scary and goofy dungeon room!")
