Wow! I too cannot believe it has been that long! Good for us!! And our outstanding GM who has kept us coming back for more. Also, my fellow players who have created such great characters to play with...kudos to all!!
Eli lets out a sigh of relief and slowly slumps to the floor. The last few hours of being tasered and beaten, then his ill-conceived attempt of falling on his captors down the hatch has left him sore and tired.
Ok, for some reason my main page was not updating and I just realized all the stuff that has happened since Eli threw himself down the shaft at the bad guys...Sorry for that!!
Ok, this might be dumb, but Eli is going to drop soon again anyway...
Stumbling forward, barely able to feel his own legs due to the stun, Eli throws himself down the ladder and hopes he breaks his fall on the guard and Kamo!
Sorry was not able to get on yesterday due to the system being out.
Boone keeps himself ready to spring at a moment's notice.
"Are you sure you want to follow this madman? He plans on killing thousands of innocents...for what? It's not too late to stop him, you know. Just help me out and we can put an end to this insane plan.", Eli whispers to his guard as they walk down the hallway.
"Ok, who are you guys and what is going on? I just help some poor people from dying hideously and suddenly I am "public enemy number one"!! What's going on?"
Still feeling the effects of the stun, Boone leans against the wall until the shouting man decides to notice him...or he passes out again...whichever comes first.
Hey guys, sorry for the silence...internet problems here in the north as well as moving has conspired to keep me busy! We move this week and I hope to be back up and running by the weekend, but until then could you please bot me? Thanks!

Scent (Ex): A creature with the scent ability can detect opponents by sense of smell, generally within 30 feet, depending on wind (Upw=60'; Downw=15') and odor strength (Strong=2x; Overpowering=3x).
The creature detects another creature’s presence but not its specific location. Noting the direction of the scent is a move action. If the creature moves within 5 feet (1 square) of the scent’s source, the creature can pinpoint the area that the source occupies, even if it cannot be seen.
A creature with the Survival skill and the scent ability can follow tracks by smell, making a Survival check to find or follow a track. A creature with the scent ability can attempt to follow tracks using Survival untrained.

Empathic Link (Su): The master has an empathic link with his familiar to a 1 mile distance. The master can communicate empathically with the familiar, but cannot see through its eyes.

Familiar Stuff:
Rules for Wizard's Familiars listed here.
All familiars have special abilities (or impart abilities to their masters) depending on the master’s combined level in classes that grant familiars, as shown on the table below. The abilities are cumulative.
Natural Armor Adj.: +1 in addition to the familiar’s existing natural armor bonus.
Int: The familiar’s Intelligence score is 6.
Alertness (Ex): While a familiar is within arm’s reach, the master gains the Alertness feat.
Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a familiar takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.
Share Spells: The wizard may cast a spell with a target of “You” on his familiar (as a touch spell) instead of on himself. A wizard may cast spells on his familiar even if the spells do not normally affect creatures of the familiar’s type (magical beast).
Empathic Link (Su): The master has an empathic link with his familiar to a 1 mile distance. The master can communicate empathically with the familiar, but cannot see through its eyes. Because of the link’s limited nature, only general emotions can be shared. The master has the same connection to an item or place that his familiar does.
Familiar Basics
Use the basic statistics for a creature of the familiar’s kind, but with the following changes.
Hit Dice: For the purpose of effects related to number of Hit Dice, use the master’s character level or the familiar’s normal HD total, whichever is higher.
Hit Points: The familiar has half the master’s total hit points (not including temporary hit points), rounded down, regardless of its actual Hit Dice.
Attacks: Use the master’s base attack bonus, as calculated from all his classes. Use the familiar’s Dexterity or Strength modifier, whichever is greater, to calculate the familiar’s melee attack bonus with natural weapons. Damage equals that of a normal creature of the familiar’s kind.
Saving Throws: For each saving throw, use either the familiar’s base save bonus (Fortitude +2, Reflex +2, Will +0) or the master’s (as calculated from all his classes), whichever is better. The familiar uses its own ability modifiers to saves, and it doesn’t share any of the other bonuses that the master might have on saves.
Skills: For each skill in which either the master or the familiar has ranks, use either the normal skill ranks for an animal of that type or the master’s skill ranks, whichever is better. In either case, the familiar uses its own ability modifiers. Regardless of a familiar’s total skill modifiers, some skills may remain beyond the familiar’s ability to use. Familiars treat Acrobatics, Climb, Fly, Perception, Stealth, and Swim as class skills.
