Jeez, Rich--where have you been? I haven't seen you in ot-clones in about three

Thanks for the news about this set. Do you know if the chest has its own

Either way, the Ice Fang was impressive when I saw it on display. Although it
doesn't seem to have a lot of utility, the ice-sculpture Dragon figurehead looks
cool.
