No rush, health is more important.
Take your time and recover properly.
I'm still ready to run everytime the house shakes down here.
Hope you're feeling better. Looking forward to renewing Corliss's grand adventures.
As the GM and some of you may know, I don't have home internet and post from my local library. Well, I went to the ER last night and found out that I have a kidney stone. The doctors are hoping I'll pass it within a week. Right now the pain's not bad, so my tentative plan is to visit the library briefly every other day to catch up/stay current in the games I play on these forums. If the pain gets as bad as I'm told it might, that's subject to change. So if I disappear...that's the reason. I'll try to post an update when I can.
The GM may bot my character as he sees fit.
It's okay. I know what you're going through. I had kidney stones as well. A lot of people in the South get them, mostly because of all the sweet tea we drink. But take your time. No need to rush.
The answer, surely, is to drink less sweet tea, and more mint juleps and bourbon? :-)
Seriously, anyone affected by health problems or massive tectonic shifts or anything else should take all the time they need.
Anyway, sorry for the hiatus. I was rather unwell for a few days. I am recuperating with tea, toast, Marmite and chocolate, so I'm ready to continue.
I'm hoping the gm is okay.
Ya I was just going to look in here in case I missed something.
So in our down time can Hamual have the time and resources to make a few more scrolls?
Also did we lose anyone in RL during the down time?
have you guys explored the strange purple island?
We suspect it's covered in fungus.
With Corin seemingly gone we can probably get to exploring a bit more. He had a hard on for going straight at the cannibals for some reason?
That is fair, I would like to explore, seems like this island has lots of fun little places to visit.
We can get our campsite concealed and trapped. Then go out exploring and gathering resources.
That's Talia's suggested course of action.
I agree with Talia, Hamual wants to leave the island as soon as possible but there seems to be something "magical" here and he wants to know what it is.
Who the hell is Talia? And where's Sizara? Is someone going to assume the mantle of party leader now that Corin seems to be gone?
Haha I means Karia, honestly no idea where Talia came from at all.
Sorry, don't run two characters with names that close. :(
No worries, I see where I read it from now.
So Karia, Croliss, myself and waiting on Sizara want to explore?
I suggest you just decide, and Sizara's player can catch up.
If we haven't gone to the purple Island lets do that now since the cannibals are south right?
Yeah I'm still here. Just been busy what with the holidays and work.
I'll try and have a post up hopefully by this afternoon
We are currently at the Eastern Ship wreck? We have a lot of ground to cover to the Strange purple island.
The group has previously observed that there is a causeway between the islands and the mainland at low tide.
Quick Note: I've got a full schedule of real-life errands tomorrow and won't be able to post again until Friday. The GM can bot my character if needed.
My posting rate has actually slowed down a great deal because of work and the holidays. So, if I don't post, then please bot me. I'm posting this to all of my games I'm in, just to let people know. Sorry about this.
Quick Note Re: My Posting Schedule: It looks like I'll be unable to post for the next two Sundays/Mondays (12/25 & 12/26, 1/1 & 1/2, though I may be able to sneak in a brief post on 1/2). I should be able to post as usual on the weekdays in between.
Apologies for being absent.
Been busy lately.
If it isn't too much trouble can someone please bring me up to speed on what has happened?

We discovered that the giant crab is a dead, empty shell. Inside dwells a shipwrecked tengu named Pezok. He told us the cannibals' village is to the south. That's about it.
We asked him about the Purple island but he didn't know about it. He also has some cool sword apparently.
I'm online today, but I'll be without internet access for Sunday and Monday. The GM may bot Corliss if necessary.
I may not be able to post tomorrow; if I AM able to sneak one in, it'll likely be late afternoon or early evening. Back to normal on Wednesday.
I have resolved some of my personal issues which means that I should now be able to post every other day at a minimum. Thank you for your patience over the last few weeks.
Hey as long as your good we are good. I am not going anywhere
Are Karia and the monster in a surprise round? I'm assuming they are: otherwise you know that Corliss would have come to the defense of the fair bard/rogue by now. ;)
Was that what we're waiting on?
I was waiting for the initiative order.
It will not have escaped your notice that I am terrible at predictions. When I say 'everything is fine, we can continue now' is just when things fall apart in a more extreme way. I won't recount my woes here - suffice it to say I have been struggling to hold things together in my personal, professional and family life for various reasons.
The upshot of this is that I have let you all down badly by not being able to keep up with the committment required to run a game. For this I can only apologize profoundly. I know the effort and dedication that many people put into crafting characters and keeping up with the game, and I am sorry that I have not been able to keep up my end.
Now, here's the rub - the last thing I want to do at the moment is make things worse by saying 'yeah, it's all fine now' and then finding out that it's not, and going through this whole cycle again. So I want to wait a few weeks to make sure that I can live up to any committment I make. If, after that, we can salvage anything from the game, or anyone wants to continue in some form, then we can discuss - but those who want to walk away I understand perfectly - you don't need the frustration I've put you through.
Apologies again.
I am not going anywhere, I have other games on the go so I check this site pretty frequently.
Same here.
I can play the waiting game for a while. Glad to hear from you again.
Who is still here?
Still here. :)
I am
Here!
Same here!
Good to hear that you're okay GM!
That's a quota. Shall we continue?
Yes let us continue!
aye
Please do.
Been busy with work and gardening, but I should have a post up sometime tomorrow. Been a busy today and my brain is fried.
Hey y'all! I'm just letting everyone know this but something is up with my laptop's wifi so I can't get online as much until I can fix it. Might take me awhile. So please go ahead and bot me. Sorry about all of this!
