Hey gang! Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm back home, recovering from the surgery. Got some very good news from the neurooncologist. The mass that they found in my brain is a grade 2 astrocytoma, the lower grade it could've been. The neurosurgeon was able to remove (according to him) 95-98% of the tumor with the surgery, which my wife has already told you.
At present, because the tumor is grade 2 and the nature of grade 2 astrocytomas is that they are very slow-growing, I do not require any follow-up treatment in the form of radiation or chemotherapy. Moving forward, the treatment plan seems to be that I'm going to have to have an MRI done roughly every quarter to check and see if the tumor has started growing again. When it does, it is at that point that I'll need to seek out radiation/chemo or whatever. But for right now, I am hunky-dory!

Please forgive my recent lack of posting! I ended up having to go back into the hospital for a few days because of a concern that I had caught a bacterial infection at my surgery site. There's still a little bit of worry about some fluid that I have underneath my skull, but I'm not running any fever of significance (hasn't been higher than 99.6 in the last few days) and I'm four days into a 10-day dose of antibiotics, so hopefully I'm good to go and will have this thing licked very shortly.

It occurs to me that I should put it out there that Devon has been crazy busy packing house and moving for the last week. We should get the last of his stuff moved tomorrow, but it may be a couple more days before we have any forward motion here.
Sorry for not posting something sooner. It's been an exhausting and hot several days.

Okay guys really sorry about the delay. Had the moving week from hell and it was during the great west coast heatwave, blargh. I am trying to get back on my feet at work (get Internet at my house) and in general get back to business. I probably won't post much through the holiday weekend but I will be back in business on Mon for sure.

Uhmmm...my description is where? S#*& lost a post, sorry.
I hate when that happens. I always leave and return to the thread to make sure the post took. I used to write posts in Word and then cut and paste to make sure I didn't have to rewrite things, but I've gotten lazy and pay for it now and again :P

I have a natural swim speed of 30', spells that grant underwater breathing and a swim speed (but only 6 castings total), and 3 Potions of Waterbreathing.
So between spells and potions I can set up myself and 4 others with swimming and breathing, with one 1st level spell left over.

Underwater action summary:
Hassan- Swim speed, air bubble (3 min)
Ajani- Swim speed, pot. water breathing (2 hrs)
Mel- Swim speed ( alter self ring), gills, pot. water breathing
Quillin- +6 swim (swimming ring), pot. water breathing (2 hrs)
Fjori- +10 swim, air bubble (3 min)
Bart- +9 swim, air bubble (3 min)
I think there was another ring of swimming out there?
EDIT: found it. Mel already had a standard ring of swimming from the ghoul whore hoard. so that's available if she's upgraded. too bad they don't stack. I'll have to find some aquatic mobility spells next level.
Mel also won't need a potion of water breathing as she has gills with her ring.
I think that Hassan should spare his spells on us non-swim speed lubbers until we actually need a swim speed for combat.

Hey everyone I apologize for this and I will post this everywhere I can so that folks can be sure to run into it:
There have been some recent developments in my life both logistically and emotionally that are going to need my focus and attention. While I think I should be able to continue to play after a short hiatus I think it best if I discard other more time consuming activities for the health of my family and in fairness to all of you folks who I play with.
I should be back in about a week or so to posting but I think it best I shut S&S down. I would rather be proactive in the other games I am in rather than constantly struggle and then find myself unavailable on all fronts. I apologize for the abruptness of it all but hopefully we can continue our other games in earnest. I appreciate any tolerance or patience you can muster. Thanks.

Hi all,
Well, I figured we must be nearly through the first book and in fact we are about two rooms away from completion. So my thought is why not just wrap it up. I can run the last bit if you like. I think the devilfish is going to eat our lunch anyway and Quillin is pretty much spent with offense anyway.
What say you? For Quinn? Death or Glory?
