We all know how real life can rear its ugly head, and I’m just not finding the time to work on my online hobby these days. I can barely keep up with reading posts, let alone posting any actions on my own, and I’d rather not limp along in some half-ass fashion without being able to give the time and energy that these games and our characters deserve. I wish you all the best and thank you for including me in your stories. -Rob I'm very sorry to see you go. It was a lot of fun having you in our party. Thank you for playing, and I wish you well going forward.

I may not get to post again before Friday evening.

Hey folks -- ready to move on, but I'm getting concerned. We've lost Soraya and we've had some very infrequent posts. I try to post as often as I can but then I just feel like I am monopolizing the game. Dorick's been posting a great deal, and Francoix some. Other folks have been pretty scarce.
Is everyone still here, and ready to go? If you just feel like there is nothing for you to respond to, what would help? I remember when this game started it was mega-active and now it's a lot less involved. I think this is a really cool game with some great players so I'd had to see it fade into inactivity.

It is concerning to see things slow down so much.
To second, what might help things get moving faster again?
I was actually mulling this problem this morning, too, and was planning on raising the issue for discussion.
The two obvious options are to either recruit new players or to simply press forward with whomever is able to keep going.

I've not been as active as I would like to, been long work days the last few weeks I will try to get more posts in. My apologies for that.

I work retail and holidays are kicking my ass. I am sorry but I will try to get on more and post more.

Thank you to everyone for checking in. I understand how this time of year - on top of life in general - can be very hectic.

I may be unavailable tomorrow.
A heads up to all my games:
Tomorrow morning, my wife and I will be driving across a couple of states to spend the week with her family, and we will be returning on Friday.
I will be bringing my laptop with me, so I can still make posts during downtime, but my posting rate may be a bit more erratic than usual.
Thank you very much, and happy holidays.

Happy holidays to you! I'll be busy for the next few days as well; may check with my phone as I can.
I feel like we're at a bit of an impasse here; Kalig had proposed a wildcat hunt but I think we can handwave that especially as Mia has largely been M.I.A. and I was thinking she could throw some of her druidy stuff that is less Kalig's forte around. I think Kalig's only other plans as regards this plot was to take a bath and wash down Matilda. :)

I've been planning the next part of the adventure, but I was so wrapped up in trying to get it right that I neglected to post anything at all.
I'll try avoid such neurotic handwringing in the future.

Seeking the perfect can be the enemy of the good.
I look forward to the next post.

No problem. I know you were originally planning to co-GM this and we lost that co-GM a while back so this is more than you had originally planned for.

A heads up. I'll be at a con for most of today and playing D&D for most of tomorrow.

Sorry guys. Real life as gotten ahold of me and I gotta dip from this campaign. Heal you for letting me in and I hope you grow this little village into a thriving community and beyond.

I had a busy weekend and catching up has been tricky for me. So, understood!
Seraphina - I'm sorry that you have to go. I hope everything goes well for you. Thank you for playing with us.
Dorick - Welcome back!

I'm not sure what more Dorick can contribute at the moment.
But I'm still about!

@Vayelan: We'll be patient. Updates are great when they happen but it's understandable if there's a delay.

A good conversation inside. I'm glad Dorick's not present though!
I'm content to keep reading by the way. :)

Question/proposition/musing: So is Kalig aware of this expedition? She left before the sentencing was passed. :)
I presume most likely someone told her and that this is supposed to be the party's next venture.
However, I am also thinking--she is really worried about what other hidden revolutionaries may be in the town and also how the town is recovering from/reacting to this situation anyway. And so she might strongly be of a mind to stay behind. I'm not going anywhere but I don't mind taking a break.
I also feel like Kalig's also had a LOT to do in the last few adventures, and so I am also feeling inclined to step aside on this particular venture to be sure some our other regular players get some action. Mia will be with the party so it's not like you're without a druid. :) This said I also know our active party has gotten quite small (from its massive beginnings) so I don't want you to feel abandoned.
Would it be okay if Kalig stayed in town while the rest of you took care of the exile?
Male Human Rogue 6 HP 39/39 AC 17, T 13 FF 14 CMD 15 / F 2 R 8 W 3 / Init +3 Percep +8
I dont mind Kalig. makes sense sort of in a way, So uh... Who all is there?

Kalig, I can get your reasoning.
We certainly would have let Kalig know.
I don't think it would be an issue for Kalig to join the escort - or to stay if you think that would be a good safeguard.
As long as the party agrees, I will allow it, Kalig.
I also appreciate that you're being conscientious and ensuring that other players get their time to shine.
However, while the rest of the party escorts Hatha into exile, would you want to conduct a side encounter for Kalig while staying in Haven?
We could conduct it via spoiler or PM.

Okay, then Kalig will stay back. Will post something to touch base with party before they leave.
I'm fine with a small side encounter in the meantime if you feel like you have the time, Vayelan.

@Vayelan:
For the record, kudos on Hatha. An enemy that really gets under Dorick's skin. Compare his reaction to her compared to even monstrous foes that we have encountered.

Dorick would have been sensible to follow Francoix's example and for similar reasons. But I bear in mind that Dorick has a very low wisdom and that does come up.

I currently have an earache so my response time might be affected.

I'm on holidays this week. Last week was tiring hence delays on my part.

Define okay? I will put up a post soon, Just getting back from a case of the ol covid 19 and all.... *^$%$&#* pandemics

"Sick from the pandemic" is definitely "not okay." By all means please take your time and rest. I wasn't posting to be like "hey yall should be posting how dare you," I was posting to, well, ask if everyone was okay.
FWIW, I was tested a few weeks ago myself, due to several days of coughing and shortness of breath. I tested negative but self-quarantined just to be sure; "luckily" it seems to have been a case of my normally-mild asthma flaring up. It was disheartening and scary nonetheless to have to go get tested and remain in isolation for so long. I can't imagine how it must be to actually have it and hope you recover as soon as possible.
