I was....independantly wealthy near the beginning of the game, so after the first battle, I had to disappear for a bit, it's a good fun game, of course. Right now I've been rereading Rune Stones, almost to the end of the campaign, sadly.
I would like to apologize to you for disappearing for the most part of the week. Circumstances beyond my control have left me no choice. My home city of Marikina in the Philippines was flooded for the most part since August 7, 2012 until today August 10, 2012. Water rose to as high as 20 meters. Power was cut to prevent electricity related fatalities, hence, the lack of posts.
For many of us here, this is the second time since 2009 that our homes have been flooded. We are still lucky since we are still here to celebrate our survival.
Now that power is constant, expect my posting to return to normal.
Rev, I saw a notice saying an update for this game, but didn't see the post, so maybe your posts aren't showing too well on this thread. Just a heads up.
It occurs to me that if Vondal was within Sigvard's aura 5 I could drop the "+4 to damage" bit of Song of Savagery on him, and then he could drop some AoE spells and get lots more benefit than anyone targeting single enemies.
And, I'm sure Spanglefang is big enough for both of us to ride.
Richmond is fine, being conveniently set on high ground - even though it looks like a river out there. A lot of the roads in and out are flooded, so getting in and out of town is tricky and possibly impossible by tomorrow.
Well you'll just have to stay in and talk to us ;P
Yeah, it's high ground around here. But the train-tunnel between Leeds and Harrogate always floods. And just my luck the bus had some internal gutter that poured a dribble of water onto my seat.
Rev got in touch with me, and she asked that I let all her games know she is still struggling with computer woes. Rather than keep everyone waiting each time, she's declaring a PBP hiatus until Oct 16.
I've broken all my most fondly held beliefs about communication but the time has come.
I need to take a long break from the boards - as I'm sure has been obvious to everyone but me for a while now.
Work is stupidly busy, and that I can deal with. What I can't deal with is the current hand being dealt my son. Gaming here was a necessary outlet and relaxation but become another source of guilt and pressure so I need to just accept that I can't do this at the moment.
Wishing everyone well, hoping to see you all again at some point in the future and thank you all for a marvelous four years of fun and friendship.
If you ever need to talk you have my e-mail (it's in my profile too), or if you want an evening of face-to-face games (board or other-wise). Anyway I hope things get better and a new year will bring much more joy.
