Alright. Nap, check. Woo, I can almost see straight. Getting back on schedule that first week is brutal and night classes didn't help. I hate insomnia. Food, check. I knew it was bad this morning when I was literally too tired to eat breakfast. And I've been like this for the last two days...yeah. That's not so great. Alright, I almost feel humanish again so let's see about gettin up some updates. :)
Penny and Spider are still around since they're NPCs. Kirel is not currently active since DB3 is without computer thanks to a charging cord going bad. So Kirel is there but being played like an NPC until he gets back. I have one other name under unit four, but no character info, so I'm not sure if she dropped out before joining or not. Anyways, yeah, you're pretty much solo at the moment which is why you get to do all the talking.
You're in four too? Oh good. My notes got a little out of date so I have to go through and fix them. I thought I got everything, but obviously I missed some stuff. Will correct that. :)
I have a few minutes before it's time to pick up the kidlet. And I got a whole 5 hours sleep last night. That's downright decadent these days. Time to get some updates up. Then it's back to the salt mines...er, studying, as the semester from hell continues...
No worries, Mer, the game is likely to continue to be slow until the GM figures out how to both get her homework done and occasionally sleep. My calculus prof has been out sick for two weeks and trying to learn the rules of derivatives on my own is...yeah, it's not pretty. And no replies to my emails with questions either. Even worse, he has this nasty bad habit of updating the due dates on stuff after the original due date, so there's no way to know ahead of time that I could have taken extra (much needed) time. :(
So I apologize for the continued slow pace of the game. Please know that I'm trying my best. But real life is beating me up pretty good right now.
Okay, so no shock here, I'm having the semester from hell. The homework load is...wow. I expected bad, but all three classes are kicking my butt. I am waving bye-bye to my 4.0 gpa since I'm working hard just to get Bs in organic chem and c++. So I'm afraid the slow posting is going to be continuing until January. I'll post an update later today. I just wanted to let you guys know that the chances of my being able to increase the posting speed for this game are pretty much down from slim to none. At least until next term. But I have not forgotten you either. I just can't really update the game more frequently than once or maybe twice a week.
Apology and explanation:
Alright, guys, I do want to apologize for virtually disappearing of late. School is a big contributing factor, but there have also been some things going on in my personal life that have been choking out all of my creativity. One way or another the disaster that has been my personal life for the past three years is in the process of changing, although I'm not really sure where things are going to fall when all is said and done. But transformation takes a lot of effort and attention, so I'm probably going to be pretty scarce for a while still. So I wanted to apologize for my absence, reiterate that it is temporary and ask that you please be patient with me while I am attending to my mental and emotional health and figuring out where to go from here. Sorry for the vagueness, but I've learned the hard way the dangers of oversharing on the internet. I'm trying not to repeat mistakes. I mean, why when there are so many new ones waiting to be made. ;P
As the originator of this game(As it was my post looking for a gestalt game that got Lyn to make this game), I just want to say take your time, good luck with everything, and I for one will be waiting for you when you can come back.
Even if its a year or three from now(provided we all don't die on the 21st of Dec, LOL)
Okay, so I have spring break coming up March 4-9, so I'm planning on getting things started back up for this game during that week. So I'm just doing a check now to see if any of the players are still around and interested in getting things started back up. :)
I've recently returned to the boards, my own life having settled down a bit. I'm sorry I cut out last time, but I should be fine now.
Lyn, no offense, but I won't be returning to Avalon. At least, not for a long while. I simply can't keep up with it. When I didn't have a schedule, I could post almost anytime, but now that I've got school and stuff, I don't think I could handle it.

No offense taken. It's a game. Real life always comes first. I'll just move your character to the background. Know that you are always welcome to return at any point. If that point doesn't come because you're too busy with other stuff, that's cool. I just wanted you to know that the door is always open.
I am here as well. not on much anymore but if this starts I will be. Been spending my time with good old Magic the Gathering lately but Pathfinder is always on my mind.
I'm really happy to see so many people are still interested in this game. :)
Alright, recap time.
When last we left our intrepid watchmen:
Unit One: (Kalmafein, Kolm, Meredian, Avlar, Uru) Had just finished a combat with some zombies sicced on them by Brigitte's (the helpful waitress who was flirting with Kal) father, the vampire low-level crime boss.
Unit Two: (Wynnie, Brenog, Hammer, Janus, James)Attempts at negotiating with the captain of the ship had gone poorly leading to the beginning of combat. Janus (?) snuck on board and freed Nico from his bonds although he was still unconscious.
Unit Three: (Malachai, Ignot, Tenoch, Jimbli, Graal, Zal) Escorting a wagon of prisoners out of the district. Were dealing with an ambush, attempted prison break.
Unit Four: (Kirel, Gotas, Imoa) Found suspicious goings-on at the Bubbly Cauldron. Potential sochar activity.
Okay, so I don't think we retained all the members of any one unit, so some reshuffling will have to happen. Also, I think a short time-skip is in order to take care of the things that were left mid-combat. The Watch has a high turnover rate, so losing watchmen is hardly unusual. Anyways, if anyone has any requests about who they want to be in a unit in I will do my best to accomodate as many requests as I can. :)
Male Drow Noble (Gestalt) Sage Sor2/Wiz3 (teleport)
I'm good with whatever, but I'll have to remember what was happening and why. We were going to undertown (by another name) for something. We had just beat some zombies.
Edit; fastforwarding time to reorder is probably a good idea. It'll help reboot the game.
Male Hobgoblin Hungry Ghost Monk/Urban Ranger 3 HP 42 | AC21 T20 FF18 CMD23 | F/R/W 6/6/5 | Init +7, Per +8
My updates do work! When it said new I thought it was broken again. Still hereish last I remember I was trying to kick prisoner heads, or something along those lines.
Sorry for the delay. The time skip update was supposed to go up this weekend and I've been dealing with an awful head cold for the last several days. Anyways, I'm now at the stage of miserable where I'm conscious (unlike the last couple days) but wish I weren't. So I am working on getting new units put together with the players we have left. The update will be up no later than tomorrow.
