Clearing the decks ...

I opened the Behemoth 47 file last night, read through most of it, and did a bit of minor tidying up on the first few sentences by way of easing myself back into it. I think the whole business with the Shipwights' odd attitude to performing artists is going to have to go; it was something that grew out of a minor character's casual remark, but it serves no real purpose. Once I'm back on the thing_in_150 bandwagon, I won't want to cut anything, so I may do that before I start.
