I don't know how to feel about that...Tolkien has been a big part of my life, obviously, but The Hobbit movies were...not all that great, to say the least, and Amazon is pretty evil so I don't know how comfortable I am giving their products more eyeballs...Plus it says something ominous to me that the first episode apparently premiers on the anniversary of Tolkien's death (Sept. 2)!
I expect nothing good, but I'll still be watching.
They did well with The Expanse.

Hey do we have a bag of holding I can put these books in?
Don't think so. Could be wrong. Frizz? Wymond?

Ok poor planning... Anyone have a waterproof bag?
No time. Frizz is floating into danger. Act now, please!
Or don't.

Hi! Just finished catching up. I'm levelling up Lilika tonight and should be free to post tonight or tomorrow morning. Let me know how you want me to jump in, Tarondor.
Also: gear. How do you want me to handle Lilika's gear. She's definitely still got all her permanent items. Should I assume her consumables were all used and then pick up the needed gear for hitting levels 5 and 6? Or should I just assume she still has everything she used to and not pick up anything new?
And Lilika has a bag of holding. Which is not helpful right this second but might be soon?
WELCOME BACK, LILIKA!
Feel free to get all new stuff to your satisfaction. Level 6. You may also rebuild your character as you see fit.
The question is how you got here. The team had to come in using a teleport token. Any ideas, anyone?
I'm open to chicanery.

Missed paths on the way back into the spire.
Does she have polymorph into a fish? Sneaks her way through the flooded floor?

So, I'm thinking: When Wymond died, Lilika left the group for two reasons.
1: she had a weird emotional reaction to Wymond dying and didn't know what to do with it. She doesn't recall having experienced grief before, and whatever this strange feeling was, she knew she didn't like it and she knew it was the fault of her "companions."
2: Lilika hoped that by abandoning the others, reduced numbers would force her companions to abandon their hopes of exploring the Spire, and therefore spare their lives.
Lilika has continued to explore the Emerald Spire on her own in the time since, moving slowly and cautiously. She feels in her gut the Spire has a connection to her past and her memories and, even if she's proven wrong, she has nothing else to do right now anyway. The Spire is her life.
As to how she arrived on the flooded level, yes, she could definitely have wild shaped into a fish and slipped through small piping and crevasses to get here.
Alternatively, she also has her own Spire token from her backstory, although I don't think she had tested it yet to see what level it led to. Or if it functioned at all. Might be broken, I suppose. It's labelled as 6.
I'd prefer she came in as a fish. And she'll swim into the battle in her shark form.
Fish Girl it is!
Piscine Power!

I'm concerned that we haven't heard from Jharun in a week.
Is this game cursed?

Took longer than expected, but I'm back now. Might be spotty on posting this week, as I'm exhausted and trying to catch up on *gestures vaguely at everything* life. Thanks for covering for me.
Oh! And did we get any Hero Points at the start of our new day or anything? I can't recall how we were handling Hero Points in this campaign.
They all got one when they leveled up, so Lilika can have one, too!

Where have you been tracking group loot since I've been gone?
I'd like to know that myself.

If it was not for bad luck there would be no luck at all. I lost my last furry baby after a day of bad sick on Wednesday, trip to er on Thursday and put down, and then cremation today. Just a sad two months for me.

Friends. I'm laid up with COVID. Sick as a dog. I'll check in as and when I can.
