Get better soon my friend, we'll be here!
I will be on vacation from tonight through Monday. I am not sure what my internet situation will be through the trip, but I will try and be available to post at least once a day. Bot me as needed if I am taking to long.
Travel safe!
Hey Heroes! I'll be out of town for vacation for a week, so someone bot me as needed please!
Folks:
I'm sorry to have been away. My recovery from COVID is going poorly and leaving me exhausted. If I'm player in your game, please bot me. If I'm the GM - I'll be back in the saddle as soon as I can.
Take care of you, GM. Your health is what matters.

Agreed!
Hey folks! My strength is slowly returning and I am going to try to get back to gaming today or tomorrow. Please forgive a slow start, but I will do as my strength allows.
Jotun, you will need Courtesy first in way of greeting and then Persuade to believe your explanation/words. :)
A fine point! Jotun does have two ranks in Courtesy, in addition to three in Persuade. But having another face at the meeting might be a good idea - if Tilly is willing to join Jotun in what could be a dangerous situation.
I am returned! Hope you're feeling better GM!
Good to see you back, Bain!
And, Jotun, Tilly will come along with you. She has a 3d6 in Courtesy (with True-hearted to help) and 2d6 in Persuade (also 3d6 in Insight (favored) to gauge how she's responding to them). She has the Desperate Courage virtue, so she won't shy away from possible danger.
Taking a short break to read up on the new combat rules! See you Monday!
Sweet!
Sincere apologies for my lack of presence on the board. I developed a severe eye infection in my left eye last week that grew worse and I had to go into hospital. I'm back home now, but with an eye patch, on bed rest. So, being in front of a comp for any length of time isn't the best for me. I'll be back to usual posting from Monday 27th (hopefully sans eye patch). GM, please bot Tilly where/when necessary for the remainder of this week. Thanks kindly.
Hope you feel better soon, and we'll understand if you start using a Pirate brogue for Tilly's speech patterns!

Man, this team is a mess! Hope you feel much better soon, Tilly!

To add to the mess… Covid finally got me!
Get well, Tilly!
Ugh. Hope you feel better soon, Belle!
I'm still tired a month after I recovered from the actual disease. I just stopped talking about it because it's all I ever talked about for awhile. But I still get exhausted so early in the day!
Feel better everyone!
I will be going on vacation from the 23rd through the 30th. I hope to have internet and be able to post over the week at least some, but I won't know until the day of if the area we are in is covered. Feel free to bot me as needed.
I go out of town for Boy Scout Camp this Sunday for a week. I will NOT have access to any internet.
Half the party sick and the other half on vacation! Hope half of you feel better soon and the other half have a great time!
Can I roll a perception type move while remaining invisible? Also wondering, can I move from open to forward? Not saying I will so much as wondering if I can.
I think Art of Disappearing is useful—not that I intend to hide forever, but maybe the first round to assess how Belle can best help. (Just get her butt in the fight might be it, though!)
What is the Perception (which would be Awareness, Insight or Scan, depending) be intended to accomplish?
And yes, you can change stances after each round.
Missed persuade by ONE.
So, there I was, at Scout Camp. I get a text from another adult telling me that a third adult had tested Covid positive today. Yesterday I had spent more than an hour sitting around chatting with that very guy.
I do the right thing, report the exposure, and long story short, I am home from Scout Camp. There were tears, from my son, and some of the other Scouts, and maybe, just maybe, from me.
Hopefully a false alarm, and an abundance of caution, but I'm sleeping in the basement tonight, the wife is upstairs with the dog.
Ahh well.
Sorry to hear this cut your trip short. (Your son is still at camp?)
The upside is that the strains are increasingly more contagious, but less potent. My mother-in-law who’s been battling cancer for a full year is doing well after testing positive the same day I did. I tested negative after five days.
It’s not lost on me that you’re probably not worried about your health so much as bummed about the timing. Sorry this affected scout camp.
Yes, he is still there.
It truly is all about keeping the kids safe.
I'm totally not worried about me. I'm full vaxed, 2 boosters, and generally have a strong constitution. I'm totally bummed. Driving away as my son was bawling was tough.
He declined the option to come home, which I really respected as his decision. I'd also have been ok if he wanted to bail out, but he's a leader among those Scouts, and he made the hard decision.
Damn, that is a bummer Bain! Kudos to your son for hanging in there though, that's a tough thing when your dad his heading back home. Stay safe, and I hope your son winds up having a great time you can talk about when he gets home!

Good for him.
Hopefully the takeaway ends up being not how you were forced to leave, but how your son stood strong and stuck it out in this undesirable turn of events.
As a Scout myself, I understand. I'm sure he'll be having plenty of fun soon!
Belle, I'm sorry to hear about your mother.
Indeed, Belle, glad your mother is doing ok.
Complications with my eye situation. Looks like I'll be seeing an ophthalmologist for possible surgery on my left eyelid. Sorry I've been MIA, but I'm trying to limit my exposure on the comp and trying to rest up. I hope to be back to some kind of regular posting possibly around my Sunday (your Saturday) until I hear whether I need to get the surgery. I'll let you guys know more once I know. Thanks for your understanding and patience.
Hope the eye gets better!
All the best, Tilly! We want you back safe!
Take care Tilly. I seem to have caught covid on my vacation, but it has not been to bad for me or my wife.
I had COVID a month ago. It weakened me for about two weeks, making me exhausted, but once the quarantine period was over I was able to go to work, but then I crawled into bed as soon as I got home.
Then, last week I took the COVID booster. Man, that was worse than the disease, if much briefer. I had chills and fevers and every joint in my body ached. I had weird pains shooting down my forearms. And then the next day I was fine. Weird. Like a drive-by disease.
Sorry to hear about the COVID, Waylon. Good recovery to you and your wife.
No internet (lots of rain can do this) and now I have the worst ever flu (thanks to hubby) on top of my eye situation. This is turning into a bad comedy. Sorry, folks, I’m out until I can swallow without razor blades in my throat, hacking cough subsides, migraines stop and breathing returns. Least it’s not COVID as we got tested for that yesterday. Small mercy, I suppose. (GM, this is for both your games I’m in.)
Hope you get better, Tilly!
Yikes, it seems like Australia is getting a lot of floods lately. Did you guys annoy the same gods as Atlantis?
Hope all is well with your recovery, Tilly.
And ouch! Nat.1 followed by the even-worse-11. That poor woman was doomed!
WAYLON: PLEASE put in the requested header. It takes extra steps to resolve anything you do when I have to open your character sheet each time.
Sorry, I think it should be correct now.
Still unwell, however I'm getting back on the boards. I can't catch up on all the missed posts as there are far too many and my energy levels are far too low. Can someone give me a quick summary of where the fights at, please? Just so I know what Tilly can do or is doing. Thanks kindly.
All of your human foes are down or surrendered, but you have no idea how to stop the deadly Cold Shade summoned by Berelas. Tilly tried to save Berelas's life but no luck.
Feel better!
Waylon suggested fire as a possibility and is currently trying to get a flame started. Jotun has that bottle of brandy, which might help spread some fire?
Thanks for the summary, GM and Jotun.
Brandy is readily flammable...
Ok all, I'm heading out of town tonight for another bout of vacation! I should be back next Saturday!
Have fun!
I took a nasty spill over the weekend and busted my face and both thumbs up. This is on top of the never ending virus and eye situations. I'm cursed or something. The meds I'm on make me drowsy/sleepy, so I'm not entirely lucid these days.
I'll try to figure out what to do with Tilly this round. Give me a moment.
