You hadn't done anything to deserve being in court so the system seems to be working for a change.</p>
<p>I am sorry to hear about the campaign ending, at least for now. It was enjoyable and I would like it to continue. But of course it is the GM who has to do most of the work. Attempts to revive campaigns don't often work in my experience.</p>
<p>Goodbye to you all, it has been fun.</p>
<p>Stormstrider- I hope things look up for you. You seem beset by problems.</p>I am glad the court appearance went well. You hadn't done anything to deserve being in court so the system seems to be working for a change.

<p>Court went well. The state has to double-check to confirm that I took care of everything, so I have to go back on 2/12, but then all charges are to be dismissed! I shouldn't have to pay a penny from what I have understood! Thanks for the well wishes!</p>
<p>As to our game, some of you may have guessed by now, I honestly have not been having any fun with this for quite some time now. Moments of levity or enjoyment, yes, but minimal. Making a game post has been feeling more & more like a chore or task that must be done. I've been trying to hang in there, hoping to get back the desire, but it's just not happening. I have been running this for nearly 3 years now! February 9th, would be the date. And we have only completed 6 levels. At the current rate it would take about 8 years to complete the campaign. But I honestly feel very sorry to be disappointing all of you, especially <b>Boudacia</b> who has been here from the very beginning, and <b>Uriel</b>, who has been a very helpful friend & supporter. <b>Ilya & Lonam</b>, you have been good players as well. But yes, at this point I am putting this campaign on hiatus. For now I won't close out the campaign page, just in case I get the 'itch' back, but it is not right to keep you all hanging on either.</p>
<p>I am sorry. Thank you for the fun times we've had.</p>
<p>P.S.: If anyone has questions about the story or anything. feel free to ask. I'll answer them as best I can.</p>My apologies for not getting back to you all sooner.

I also suggest that each one of us carry a spire token, now that we have 4. Uriel will defer on the curing potion since he can lay on hands on himself as a swift action—should go to Ilyanaro or Boudacia. I’ll work on the loot sheet later tonight and update it in the link. I’ll include the reward for the wizard rescue if we get it by then too.</p>Sounds good. I also suggest that each one of us carry a spire token, now that we have 4.

<p>I'll take it if noone else wants it.

<p>I used to be a lawyer. But I have not practiced for over 20 years and it was not in the US, so I can offer little more than I can with the medical problems.</p>
<p>What Lonam says is very sensible. Find out who offers legal advice to people w/o much money and consult them. It shouldn't break the bank and hopefully tell you how to go about matters, which could make the affair less stressful if you have a decent idea what is going on. It is hardly a rare problem.</p>
<p>Here such organisations go by names like community legal centres or legal aid.</p>
