This was a rough one.  Everything was going fine until I tried to render out a preview before I polished the animation.  I ran into one of the most obscure problems I've ever encountered with Blender and spent hours troubleshooting, taking time away from polishing.  In the end I was running up on my time limit before I had to render and I just had to scrap the whole environment.  Such a thing pains me.

If I had waited too late to render a preview then things might have gotten really bad.  I'll have to adjust my workflow in the coming days in case this glitch pops up again.  It's making me nervous, but I suppose it puts the 'challenge' in 'animation challenge'.

Special thanks to Axel Black for helping create the Jade model!
