I heard from Hue, and he's good to pick up again. I DM'd Kalanzar to no effect, so I'm going to assume they're gone. I'm going to recon the last little bit to separate Kal from the group, but not outright kill him in case they're able to return.
I'll post a bit of a recap and get us going again. Thanks for your patience, and I hope everybody is having a great summer so far.
Don't everybody post at once....
It took me a while but I'm here.
Slimy boy is actually not immune to psychic damage, so roll away!
I will be on the road from This Thursday to this Sunday (Aug 14th-17th).
I'll set up some basic bot'ing details for anyone who would like to wear Hue if it becomes necessary
Thanks for the healing, guys!
I can bot Hue if needed but only with actions. There is no way I could do justice to his words and personality :)
wont start a combat
Always tries to set up 'slayers prey' 1st bonus action
Will stay at range
will enter melee if ally is in melee and at all vulnerable
Will stumble into most vulnerable ally and use bait and switch
Doesn't have any combat skill - it's all clumsiness and luck
Special note:
Is deeply afraid of the malevolent entities that reside in all shadows and darkness
Is the bestest friend forever to all spiders
I'll be away camping tomorrow until thursday, out of cell range.
Have fun!
*Sigh* Move completed successfully, but lugging stuff to the third floor (power was out today for the renovations, so no lifts), seems to have given me a cold - 38,8C fever. Think I won't be posting much until this goes away.
Hope you feel better soon!
Me too... turns out this wasn't just fever but a stomach bug with fever as a side dish... not feeling the hottest right now.
Ugh, that's the worst! Take care.
I'm back. Anybody have anything to say to the cube?
Over the weekend yes :)
Hello everyone, folks!
It's been a long time, guys, more than two months. I apologize for such a disappearance. I've always said that this can't happen to me. And every time I've said "never" in my life, life itself "taps me on the nose" and shows me that "never say never».
Roughly speaking, there were two emotionally difficult moments in my life that happened at the same time. One is breaking off the engagement and canceling the wedding (on my initiative). The other is the sale of my parents' house, the place where I grew up. The place where I remember my parents alive and young, and whose walls still bore the marks of my childhood vandalism. The second was a long and difficult process. Take the parent library to the warehouse, sort out the mother's things and give something to charity, then find a buyer and prepare a bunch of all sorts of documents, and so on and so on… Well, the first one added fuel to the fire, and so I emotionally burned out and shut down for a couple of months, and I had to put a lot of important areas in my life on pause. Including the PbP. I just didn't have the strength to do anything else, the internal processes consumed all the energy. However, meditation and psychotherapy work wonders, and now I'm back in the ranks.
So. If my slot is not occupied yet, I would discuss with you the possibility of my return. There is a serious nuance here. I can play with you for two weeks, and then I'm going away for a month on a retreat, yoga and meditation, and I'll be there completely without communication. After that, I would join the game again (I think I've already left like this a couple of times during this campaign, it just used to be for 2 weeks). And here, of course, the question is whether you need a player who first disappeared for 2.5 months, then appeared for two weeks and disappeared again for a month. The answer "no" would be pretty fair. But if the answer is "yes", then I'm ready to come back. I love this story and I would be sorry not to know how it ends (no matter how many years it takes). I plan to stay in just two campaigns for now, including this one, which I've been playing for several years, and finish all the other PbP games until I'm sure that everything in my life has improved enough to withstand the previous PbP load.
Well... Anyway, I'm glad to post here again .)

Welcome back as far as I am concerned!
I was actually worried you got drafted.

Glad to hear from you! I'm sorry to hear you've had a very rough few months. Relieved to hear that you're okay.
Since we didn't know what was up, I've separated Kal from the party, but didn't do anything rash with him. I suggest that we play him separate for now, and then Kal can rejoin the party after you're back from your retreat. That way we don't need to bot him for that long.
If that sounds good, let me know when you're caught up reading the game, and I'll post for Kalanzar.

Love and peace out to you Kal
And a healthy dose of self-care (something I derided ten years ago and believe in more and more)
And very good to hear from you

Happy to see that you're back!
Thanks for sharing your challenges as that isn't always an easy thing to do. I appreciate you trusting us with that information.
I look forward to continuing to write this story with you and I'm curious to see how Kal gets back to us...eventually :)
Enjoy your upcoming retreat

Welcome back, Kal!
Also, I'm back. That fricking stomach flue thingey lasted whole 9 days... was feeling weak as a drowned kitten at the end there.

Thank you all! Angie H, this is just a great idea, and I think it will really be easier for everyone. Thank you so much for accepting me back, I really appreciate it!
