That's why I dig this AP. ;) [deep late-night thoughts]Seriously, though, this is what a lot of mythology (if not most mythology) was/is - modern cultures have lightened the stories up a lot from what they used to be. (Cinderella's stepsisters cut off their heels and toes to try and fit in the glass/fur slipper, after all.) Fey have always been very capricious creatures in mythology, too, capable of great generosity but also great cruelty. They're supposed to be nature spirits, after all, and nature gives you both the spring rains that nourish crops and the thunderstorms that ruin them. [/deep late-night thoughts] ;)
First that lady with the tail, and now this? For a land ruled over by wtiches, there sure is a lot of free love happening. But I guess there's little enough else to do on cold winter nights.
There's little enough opportunity for fun, and a lot of the stories about fey arose from a need to explain surprise pregnancies and marital unfaithfulness. And after all, even without faeries involved there's a rise in human births between July and October, 9-10 months after winter. ;)
I think Matthew should have thought a bit harder about his spell selection here. XD
Completely my bad, folks - I have no idea what happened to the last few days. I'm catching up now.
Eh, it happens, especially around this time of year.
Over the last few days, I've sat down to respond to play-by-posts half a dozen times, only to find myself lost for words every time; for a few weeks now, I've struggled to get anything out beyond a couple of perfunctory sentences. After some thought, I've finally admitted to myself that I've gotten a bit burnt out on play-by-post, and it's not fair to everyone I'm playing with for me to only put in minimal effort. My sincerest apologies to everyone, but I am going to take this opportunity to step aside from the hobby for a little while, in the hopes that time renews my vigor and enthusiasm.
Thank you everyone for making the road so far wonderful, and I hope that when I come back we can touch base again. I don't have a definite timeline for returning, but when I do, I'll reach out to everyone; if enough folks want to pick our party's adventures back up, I'll be happy to continue where we left off. In the meantime, happy gaming to all!
Thanks for letting us know.
Rest and recharge!
Happy gaming!
Awww, too bad, but understandable. I hope you can recharge!

No worries. Gaming should be fun, not stressful. It's clear the amount of effort you put into each post, despite your hectic schedule. I have nothing but appreciation for the fact that you stepped up to run the game after our previous GM left, got us through an entire adventure path book (better than every other PbP Adventure Path I have been a part of) and have been an all around been a great GM. As far as I am concerned you have nothing to be sorry for and should enjoy a well-earned break!
...Of course I selfishly hope that you recharge and get the PbP itch again, because I would love to play with you again. But either way, I wish you nothing but the best. :)

I understand. I enjoyed both playing with you as a player and GM and wish you the best. Thanks again for stepping up when our original GM dropped. That was selfless and very appreciated.
And to the rest of the players, thanks for making the game fun. I hope we get to play together again.
As always, a bummer when it happens, but thanks for the heads-up. I've also had to take time off before. Hope you have a good rest/recharge, and that we meet on the boards again.
Totally understandable :) First and foremost, take care of yourself! You know where to find us if you're ever back on the boards again.
Thanks, folks. I'm going to go ahead and place the game into inactive now; hopefully someday it awakens from its slumber. :)
