Having gamed through the birth of 4 kids, I understand your lack of time and applaud your determination to continue GMing at this time. I'm only the new guy here, but I am very willing to go forward either at a slower pace or to fast forward through this part.
Frankly, it seems like we're done with the Frankenstein's monster portion of this book. It feels like we're just killing things for XP and loot at this point. Am I wrong about that? Am I mission something?

There is more to the adventure actually. It seems each of the Carrion Crown's is a specific theme.
This is Frankenstein monster and its brethren.
The next is different, etc, etc.
There is more to this area, this guy is a real bother though. You have the building up the mountainside through the door you opened as well to contend with but I will admit after this guy this portion (building) is nearly out of steam.
The building up the hill is another matter though.
Appreciate the response Dax Thura. ;)
Its scary having a new baby in less then 30 days, but its nice to know i am done for now. i don't plan on anymore but life will be life, if you know what I mean. So we will see.

My apologies for breaking character and going all real-world, but I saw this today, and I hope you will forgive me for sharing and asking you do the same through social media.
Please read this article, even if it is depressing and terrifying.
And share it.
THIS CAN NOT, MUST NOT BE IGNORED!

However, the endangered species such as elephants is why I agree to sport hunting. Sport hunting funds protected wildlife preserves that combat poachers. Because they charge large sums to rich folk so they can go and shoot an animal. The thing they don't tell you is that the animal selected is usually a rogue or danger to other animals and the reserve. So the hunter gets to take care of the problem and the reserve maintains its security and stability because a rogue asset is removed.
The temperature gauge throws me off as the agreed upon increase has been roughly 1.3 F worldwide in the last 100 years. Same with sea levels increasing roughly 1.7 ml EACH YEAR, which however is a lot, supposedly the last millenia it was around 0.86 ml and before that 0.54 ml.
THe thing that frightens me the most is that fact our population continues to boom. Overfishing the seas and that fact that eventually we won't have enough drinking water for all of us. Their is already water wars in some places and lands bordering deserts are suffering desertification far more quickly then before.
Freshwater makes up a very small fraction of all water on the planet. While nearly 70 percent of the world is covered by water, only 2.5 percent of it is fresh. The rest is saline and ocean-based. Even then, just 1 percent of our freshwater is easily accessible, with much of it trapped in glaciers and snowfields.
Being an oilfield worker I see what we do to try and keep the field clean, animal populations are booming because hunters are denied on the oil lease. Which is VAST and I think the animals know it because when hunting season begins is when the field is covered in animal life. Huge herds of caribou, musk ox, bears, foxes, geese, ducks. It is truly amazing.
Living in Alaska I will say the last few years have been very strange, warmer winters, less snow, more cold air, much dryer and much more intense fire's when spring starts because the ground is really dry.
So trust me, you are not alone. If green tech wasn't so damn expensive I'd have installed it long ago. I have a friend who owns several rentals who is installing panels on every roof and recently purchased a plot of land to turn it into a Power Station of Panels, turbines and small geothermal unit test site. Much to the local power companies displeasure. Because they are federal mandated to pay you,so they are making it a hassle for him.
Other things to consider is shifting wheather patterns due to El Nina and El Nino. The Jet Stream has shifted which is playing havoc across the Continental US. Alaska is warmer and the lower 48 is cooler haha.
I think in the next 5-10 years either we will see a correction or a catastrophic event will occur. But our population needs to slow down or stop for at least 20 years or we risk overwhelming the planet.
We need to start colonizing other places haha.

Update, so swapped harddrives, upgraded to a new SSD about double the size of the old one. Cleared the data from my remaining onboard completely and slapped a fresh windows install and my Laptop is back in buisness. Now I just have to reinstall everything. My PDF's were luckily backed up on my portable so I should be up and posting tonight once transfers are done. lol

Relatively easy, once I stopped face palming myself and running in circles. The initial shock worsened it and instead of taking the right steps I bungled it up more I think. But now I realized I made a mistake and installed 32 bit system instead of 64 bit so I am reinstalling. Again.
Currently flying to work. Will have a post in by today or tomorrow. Transferring my PDF's once I reinstall windows 64 bit. lol...
But I learned alot, and I was able to help a friend of mine who had a similar issue.
Windows does this a lot I guess, the Win 10 anyway. So thats wonderful to know haha.

Going to update soonish. Trying to get things in order. down to 7 games now. So I shouldn't be drowning anymore. Been reading the book over to get my head back into it with this.
Hope you guys are still willing, if not we can end it on a high note and re-focus somewhere else or not at all. Been trying to keep the kingmaker game going because it was the only one I could keep my head in at the time and with what time / service I had. Ugh.
