<p>I guess I'll have to chalk this one up to a learning experience. Honestly, I've been refocusing my priorities and trying to breath new life into this isn't high on the list. Speaking form experience, it's hard to get a game's tempo back up once it's slowed down, even if everyone wants to continue.</p>
<p>Sorry. I'm going to be ending it here. I'll be marking this game inactive over the weekend.</p>I think it's safe to say that Grimlak isn't paying attention, or has fallen off the face of the boards.

They'll fine both of Logram and Grimlak 25 gold each and let them go with a stern warning about causing a ruckus and assaulting the town's folk. I'm going to be having Alfgeir bow out here until his player returns. With that, we'll pick up with you guys heading out, unless Runia wants a scene dealing with what she's been up. I'll give everyone until Monday to decide.</p>Completely up to you if you want to RP the interaction with the guards.

<p>I want to apologize if this little interlude before we officially dive into the adventure is causing some undo friction. My intent wasn't to cause irreparable damage to party cohesion. If you guys feel that your characters can't work together, we can work something out. I just wanted you to know that I while I was going with the flow, I wasn't trying to cause any major disruptions to the group.</p>No worries Alfgeir.

<p>I'm really, really, really against PVP action of any kind and really would prefer an OOC discussion before we start attacking or calling guards on each other.</p>
<p>As a side note, are drow not known about in the setting?
