Eek! Stay safe friend!

My house is fine, however I'm flooded in with sporadic power outages. We didnt have a ton of food at home and so basically my entire neighborhood is eating potluck dinners where everyone brings out something. Also, my satellite Internet box was covered with water so I'm stuck with the phone as my only Internet. All that said, we made out much better than a whole bunch of people who have lost a lot in this flood.

I'm sorry to hear. I hope you find your way through this terrible event. Looks like you have a strong community around you at least. Be well.

Hey guys, I just got off the phone with my First Sergeant and I’m getting activated to respond to the flood in my home state of Louisiana. I don’t really know how long I’ll be out, I hope not too long. I’ll have my phone so I *might* be able to post. I’m really sorry for the delay and I’ll get back into posting asap. Thanks, Niles

No worries Niles; hang in there and stay safe. I hope everything goes well and that things get better in Louisiana soon!

Just responded to your post over on the WotW but be well!

S+!& happening but GUARANTEED post tomorrow

It happens. No worries. Be well! :)

Yep, hang in there!

Please note I'm going away for a week and some, starting Wednesday, with very limited access to the Internet, and most likely only through my phone. Please bot me as needed. I'll likely be back to normal posting around September 13.

Stay safe and I hope that the trip is a good one!

Take care mate - will do.

An explanation - Sorry for my erratic posting. I'm coming out of a depressive episode (after going off my meds for a while - NEVER do this folks) and its f*~~ed with my life in the last few days.

Posting now.

Take good care!

I'm on vacation for the next week. May be slow posting. If I'm slowing things down, feel free to bot Jaru.

As an FYI I'm working night shift the next three nights (tonight, Friday, Saturday) and sleeping during the day so my posting rates will likely drop during the time. I'll try and catch up/keep up as best as I can but feel free to bot Elidal as needed to keep things moving along.

Will do my best

Between mental and physical health issues its been a rough 10 days or so... hoping to get back on top of things.

I'm back from my trip. Will get back to posting shortly.

I hope all is better GM.

Welcome back Emmett! Rest up GM!

This part of the adventure is particularly lethal... as written an acrobatics check modified by damage is required but that doesn't fly well for me as a) Its E7 and b) Emmett is slowing movement for difficult terrain, using both hands on the rope bridge etc. So no acrobatics checks needed as long as Emmett moves at half speed.

I'm not seeing what's at the other end of the bridge... closed door, opening?

Apologies - map updated.

It leads to a landing that proceeds to a double set of doors.

Have we lost anyone?

I'm here, just already took my action for turn 2 is all :)

Just back from PaizoCon Australia. Gimme a few hours to post

Hey, welcome back! How did it go?

Bloody awesome - picked up one of the new corruption chronicles, and played in one of the Aspis agent 'Rise of the Serpent' games + played all four of the 'Better the Devil you know' games. I had to travel interstate but shared a room with two mates so it was fun both in and out of convention.

Awesome, glad you had a good time! :)

Didn't want to make a Gameplay post just yet in case we aren't supposed to remember this right off but we actually have seen the name 'Auren Vrood' before - in this post, which amusingly enough was just over a year ago!

Good catch!

Wow... Good catch!

In that case you recognise it!.

Sorry - need a few more hours to post up the new room and options etc

I'll be away tomorrow, back Monday morning. Please bot as needed.

will need another day

5000 posts. Thanks guys for making this happen.

My posting has been no where near as fast as when we started all this - this is mostly with my ongoing battle with depression which has claimed me yet again. Thank god for anti depressants but even these aren't dragging me out of my latest slump.

I'll try to get the action restarted tomorrow as I am coming through the far side of the blackness.

F#!~ed if I know what I have to be depressed about - I have a good job (but anyones guess about when I may lose that thanks to my latest bout that kept me off work for the last 3 days), great family and even a house full of puppies but its something that I really struggle with. I want to thank you all also for putting up with the delays in posting etc.

In my experience, depression sadly doesn't even need a reason - sometimes it just is. All I can really advise is to stick with your meds and try to let the people that care about you know when things get bad (which I also know is easier said than done at times).

No matter what, we've made 5k posts and that's not a milestone easily reached by most games on the forums. Here's hoping we can make it another 5k :)

I can only agree with that, add that you've done an amazing job, and suggest that you complement meds with physical exercise.

I'm grateful for all the work you put into making this a truly memorable game!

1) It's not your fault.
2) Take you meds, and I agree regular exercise is a good idea : )

What the others have said.

Hang in there....hug a puppy!

Guys - I am still in but struggling at the moment. Unemployment is beckoning and s*~! is beginning to fall apart. Please bear with me just a little longer.

No worries here.

No worries and no hurries!

I am on the way back out of my slump. Look for a post in the next 24 hours.

Glad to hear you're feeling a little better!

Looking forward to it!

Please note I'll be away Thursday to Monday, with limited posting. Feel free to bot me if needed.

I owe you guys an update.

I've upped my meds by 50% as per the doc's instructions - I am 'wait and see' mode at the moment.

I've found myself barely able to function these last 2 weeks and sleeping away my life when I am not hiding from it by being in bed just avoiding it.

I am not saying the game is over but for the moment I think I need to announce by hiatus from it for at least another week or 10 days. I'll leave the game thread open and PM you all when I am back in the hopes that you guys are available.

I want to thank you for your support and the grade A play you guys have put into this as well as your understanding of my faults.

Said it before and I'll say it again....your health and welfare are the top priority.

Do what you need to set yourself right, come back to us when you're ready.

Lean on your support system, doctor, friends , family...us if need be.

Take care, Mate, hope to see you back soon. :)

Couldn't say it better. Take good care. We'll be around.

Understood GM, take care.
