Working on character sorry for the delay.. get on it as soon as I can post... what's our current character roster? I don't want to make another Amuro Rey if we have one already... though one of the many ultra-sexy hotties that Char Aznable get's killed might be... interesting. Especially if I can keep her alive! lol!
Not sure what you mean by 'American Hero themed game'... :)
LOLS! Well it IS George R. R. Martin.. so what do you expect {snicker}? I'd like to play a fire-based, black American... I guess Ace. Sort of like Firestorm.. hmmm that sounds like a good name actually. I don't mind if we go international though. But since I'm an American.. I'm not terribly familiar with far-away-places-with-strange-sounding-names. But a Germany based game might be interesting... of course the Joker Virus broke out in New York so it kinda IS a American superhero game world...sort of considering that's where "Joker-Town" is {shrug}.
Ok, I'm asking how this is supposed to be ruled... The Silken Ceremonial from the Ultimate Equipment Guide says this... = Armor Bonus +1, Max Dex Bonus -, Armor check penalty 0, Arcane spell failure 0%, WT 4lb; Spd 30'ft [30gp]
The Haramaki from Ultimate Equipment Guide says this... = Armor Bonus +1, Max Dex Bonus -, Armor check penalty 0, Arcane spell failure 0%, WT 1lb; Spd 30'ft [3gp]
Can these two armors be worn together and stack their effects? It seems the Haramaki is "meant" to be worn in combination with other armors as it makes no restriction in its description that says it can't be worn with other armor.. otherwise it is kinda pointless... or at least seems so. The Silken ceremonial says it does not stack with heavier armor it is worn over.. but wearing it with a Haramaki..which seems by its description to be able to be worn with other armors would seem to be viable.. at least on the surface. Thematically, ALL the picture depictions of everyone's favorite hottie sorceress the Iconic is wearing this same combination of adventuring gear. What's the 'official' position of the game designers on this?
Yeah, that was my take as well. She was childish in her desire to to be a Queen.. but she WAS smart enough to know.. all she had to do was wait.. as Eodred was very old and she would easily outlive him and the Crimson Throne would have just fallen into her hands by default! I don't think she would have had the courage or self will to plot a 'mostly unnecessary' assassination or even want to wreck the very city whose Throne she coveted so much! Kazavon's control forced/coerced - possession made her do these outrageously destructive things. I'm sure she would NEVER have agreed to make a pact with a Devil to bind an Erinyes to her soul for the price of her soul!! She's from Cheliex.. she KNOWS how such things end! Eternal youth is a tempting thing.. but I think she would have relied upon her Bard magics to maintian her beauty over the year... and personally lacked the long-term forsight to worry over it after all she is still very young.. and Very beautiful! Youthful Appearance is a spell on her bard list.. so its not really a consern for her right now - certainly not important enough for her to risk such a dubious plan when all she need do is wait a few years for all she desires to fall into her hands at Eodred's death. In your opinion.. would she be at least tacitly and initially grateful for being released from Kazavon's control/possession.. sort of like Togomor?
Got a question... what happens if the paladin just flies up to Ileosa and sunders her crown with Serithiel on the spot? The question is this... Is it Illeosa doing all this... or was it mostly Kazavon? Yes, the Guide to Korvosa lists her as NE... but is "SHE" guilty for being Mind-Controlled and possessed by Kazavon? In Forgotten Realms - Lady Laereal was also possessed by the "Crown of Horns" and she did some really evil things while under its control... until Khelben Blackstaff rescued her. Now true.. Laereal was not evil, but should that matter? Ileosa may be evil but she might not have been the one pulling the strings. Our Paladin has brought this point up in several discussions... and his 'Heavenly Virtue' Mercy - feat... means he could potentially take her alive. Any thoughts on this? Wish I could ask the writers this actually.. fat chance...
I think… and correct me if I’m wrong in this Una.. this is where the confusion started… Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.16}:
I detected for evil, which is my usual policy and procedure with paladins, to see if opponents could be located and number determined. Megan replied with… Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.16}:
Revealing to me 5 evil targets… 4 on the main floor and 1 on the second floor. One of the evil foes Ashe and Shakhna dispatch almost immediately as he is in the hall we are advancing through hiding on the steps out of line of sight. Ashe comments.. Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.16}:
To which Megan posts… Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.16}:
A short battle breaks out and the party subdues the foes. 4 evil foes downed or subdued. Then Megan posts… Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.17}:
To me, as a player, that voice must have been the last evil target. But I know not ALL foes are necessarily evil… and hiding is certainly a tactic cutthroats and thieves would use so I post. Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.17}:
In reply Megan posts this… Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.17}:
Here perhaps I as a player jumped to a conclusion.. that there were people being butchered and sold as meat to the populous, As "personally" I would find that most abhorrent! Megan did not call for a perception roll for us all to see what Risdin had run across.. but I figured Ashe was also searching the room so there was a likely chance he would notice what the paladin of Abadar found. I posted this… Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.17}:
Megan replied with this… Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.17}:
I replied … Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.17}:
I expected to have roll for initiative and fight the - likely highest level foe there on the stairs. I expected him to curse that his twisted plot was reveal… that being killing people then giving their flesh away as food for some twisted joke or even more sinester purpose. He was the last evil opponent in the place . I was surprised at Megan’s response. Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.17}:
I was kinda confused… this was not the words of an evil mastermind of twisted goals. I posted… Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.17}:
I was suspicious but he had dropped his weapon … not the actions of an evil mastermind.. but I knew there were 5 evil foes in the building … not just four. Megan replied with this Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.17}:
So.. I was confused. I almost detected evil upon him again… but it seemed evident that he was not evil, and I havd been badgering Megan for replies to question and detections I did not want to be a twit and ask again considering that her posts started to slow down. So I assumed… either his evil was very small or there was another foe upstairs, but HE Vankaskerkin for the moment was not a threat unamred as he was so I felt a detailed investigation of the upstairs would reveal some other foes that was hiding. So I posted… Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.17}:
I know Ashe did not have the best of perceptions at the time and Asked for the party to help. Honestly with that perception roll I was expecting to get sneak attacked. But Megan posted this… Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.17}:
I was even more convinced that Verik was not the source of evil I had detected but was perplexed… where was the evil person? So I posted this.. Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.17}:
Megan’s next post confused me or perhaps I did not read it closely enough… either way I got the wrong impression… Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.17}:
I took from what she posted that all the sources of evil I detected were still in their relative positions when I found them the first time I detected evil. Which had me confused as Verik was clearly Not upstairs anymore. But that is not actually what she was meaning - clearly from the discussion that ensued. I almost wlaked back to detect evil upon Verik directly thinking maybe he was only faintly evil. As for what she described in the room I felt ‘exquiste Quality dagger meant ‘enchantable’ – possibly so I decided to handle it with caution… something about the dagger being thrust into the table top set off my many years of gaming experience and made me suspicious. I can’t tell you what about it did that.. but it did. Again had it been sheathed and lying on the table or just in some personal gear in the room I don’t think my warning bells would have triggered. It just struck me as… poignant. I had not been attacked and there were no obvious foes even if I missed their Stealth roll with perception I figured they were not going to attack as clearly we had the upper hand. Plus the party was grumbling about wasting time so I let it go. I posted this not expecting anything… Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.17}:
I had no idea the debate this would provoke. This is what I was thinking at the time. Admittedly, there were assumptions on my part and misinterpetations as well - but there it is.. This was my ooc reply to the matter.
OOC Reply – Daggers, Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.18}:
Megan said that when I scanned outside the room that there were no other sources that I did not detect before. When I entered the room I saw the silver dagger - I was planning on suggesting someone make use of it as a precaution. The Korvosa book tells in the player info section that the Academae {the major wizard's training school} demands its students summon imps as part of their graduation prerequisites, and that FLOCKS of the fiendish creatures stalk the roofs and streets of Korvosa... often fought by the flocks of Pseudo-dragons that hunt them and also roost in the city. I have no idea if that is an issue in the module though. It just seemed a wise precaution that a native of the city would suggest to obvious foreigners to Korvosa - devils need silver to hurt. There is also a hint that lycanthropes may haunt some places in town. I almost did not choose to detect evil on the dagger at all thinking it a pointless matter... I figured it might be magical, it was described as ornate and that could mean it was masterworked and potentially magical... but evil... that really shocked to me! I've not run into many cursed items before in pathfinder... but thats an assumption it could just have an evil enchantment - like unholy or somesuch. But I began questioning weather Verik was evil at all when he did not react the way I expected... and Megan posted that I detected the same locations of evil as before... but verick was no longer upstairs. I was not sure if that was an oversight or intentional. I almost detected evil on Verik twice when he surrendered {Asherick looks the man in the eye and ponders his words...; and Asherick looks at 'Corporal' Vancaskerkin and ponders him closely...} as he did not react the way I had expected... I figured if he were the gang leader of murderers he'd have to be fought to be subdued; but decided I'd be wasting time with info Megan had already provided. The evidence was only to force his hand instead risk him trying to bluff his way out {ie 'Darn they know we've killed someone might as well fight my way out...'} sort of, Ashe does not have a good sense motive bonus...yet. At least that was my logic. I hoped he'd surrender but I figured being their leader he would know all about any misdeeds of his men... probably under his orders and Verik would have to be fought. Fighting him on the stairs would have been a pain only one attacker at a time. Ashe knows he has the best armor so it should be him. Ashe didn't want Shakhan to give up watching the other prisoners him being our other strong fighter. Risdin seems more of a ranged combatant... but I could be wrong about that. Just Ashe's misfortune that no one else has a reach weapon... or seems particularly interested in 'thinking outside the box of their familiarity'. He doesn't hold that against them... after all HE IS the outsider to the group! I'll admit it was a risky thing stepping up to fight the leader alone - as likely he would be tougher than the others... but Ashe hoped Hytogg would heal him as needed to win if/when it turned into a fight. Plus with your crossbow it might have been even easier. Didn't turn out that way though! lol! So this was my train 'wreak' of thought' lol!
This was the first part of my ‘seemingly’ using out of character knowledge. You can read the rest of the commentary on your own. The Second case was in the same scene… Megan posted this… Megan Curse of the Crimson Throne {p.18}:
Which said to me that these villains had concealed more of their foul incriminating evidence under the offal grates! So Ashe went there and checked specifically for evidence. I remembered as a player in the “The Temple of Elemental Evil”. In the Elemental fire temple… if you did not search under the hot coals in the charcoal pit you missed the powerful magical weapon that was concealed there [sorry for the spoiler]. So anytime a DM asks me that – “The pit is Very messy, Dirty, Foul and Very deep are you going to continue digging in the filth/coals /trash /slime?”
When Ashe found the evidence of more corpses Una assumed Ashe was somehow in cahoots with these villains. As a player I was a bit shocked by this accusation after all we all saw the same post by Megan. But there it is.
Thx Cevah. Second Question... A character starts out as a wizard and levels takes Witch and the Archetype "Winter Witch". Does that now mean all her wizard fire spells are not available to her? What about items like.. a necklace of fireballs or a wand of fireballs? Fireball is STILL on her wizard list.
... I have little to say in this, that has not already been said. It does not seem it would matter what I post as I seem to have been judged already and my previous posts with my explanations ignored on the whole. I will thus make an effort to post less detailed and cinematic posts as it seems they are not really wanted by the group on the whole. I have a long... possibly unnecessarily provocative rebuttal post written to all the accusations placed against my play style and character abilities and actions. But I think I'll just let it drop in the spirit of peaceful play... In summary -
You don't agree with my views of the game... so trust Megan's view. She has not refuted anything my characters have done. Keep that in mind please. Megan has the complete view of ALL of our actions in the venue of this adventure path something none of us has.. or should have. I have four times pm'd Megan with the acceptance that if anything I post is out of order to please correct me or if she feels I'm too disruptive to the game she has but to ask me to leave. Now I place it to you... If I'm too disruptive to your enjoyment of the game I will leave on your request. If the tone of this post is curt - I meant it so. I do not play games to argue with people and if I must.. I am not enjoying the game. That said I will move on with the gameplay.
Ah and there is the downfall of a PbP game it is very hard to know the reasons for s silence from another player! Are they stalling so they don't have to commit to an action, are they busy, is their connection down? So many things could go wrong... I do, in fact, remember your willingness to do the summoning Damoc and indeed you are totally correct that I just decided to open the door to keep the game moving for we have been int his room with not motion for over a week now so I just decided to do something.. perhaps THAT is a bit out of character for Ashe. So yes, he jumped to action... and in my post I semi-justified it with him misunderstanding the silence on Damoc's part... not a reflection on you as a player ..but an action to push the story on. Guess I Roger the player failed my patience save/roll/check..lol! :) Which is part why Ashe made little suggestion as to what to summon as I personally did not think Ashe had access to such specific data on what a wizard could summon he's more familiar with celestials and fiendish creatures of that sort.. most Waay to powerful to call with such a low-level spell. Honestly, about the history of this game... I don't think its actually something I posted in specifics that annoyed STR Ranger over much.. but I do know from his previous posts that real life is something of a struggle with him right now taking care of his family being under/un-employed. So perhaps just something int he tone of my post struck a nerve on a day he was just feeling down on anyways. I know one thing that is VERY hard to show in PbP is the tone in which a post is perceived. something perfectly reasonable and sane can come of as totally assinine and overly sanctimonious when that was the furthest thing from the posters intention.. and there really is not way to know exactly how a tone of a post could be taken. Posters like me are the most vulnerable to this as we use lots of flowery and detailed posts that sometimes the possible potential TONES in which a post we make can be taken by a reader can indeed escape us.
It is never my intent to do such a thing. I am merely trying to role-play my character to the best way I envision him in my mind And NO I am not using that as an excuse as I have seen so often done by players to justify doing rude or just annoying things to a party cohesion just to do crap that's controversial or start some conflict. Such practices are never conducive to the game and usually detrimental or at least highly disruptive. I too hope STR Ranger stays with us. He has invested a lot of time into his characters... it be a shame to see it wasted.
Um.. STR Ranger, I don't know what elucidated this, but its a forgone conclusion that Ashe... as well as everyone in the party knows that a item must be of the best quality to be enchanted... especially after we have gone through several days to have items we wanted enchanted and have all be planning since the start of the game for several week sin in-game time to enchant things. If you damage its original form it does not take a knowledge arcana roll to know its no longer of the highest possible quality and thusly enchantable or even if you insist on it its like a low DC like 10... which even someone without Knowledge Arcana ranks can indeed do. I have also established that Ashe is currently training to become a Bard a master of lores and knowledges.. as that will be Ashe's next level in Bard. so he studies a lot of things.. in all my downtime posts about what Ashe is doing the few I have been able to squeeze in I have constantly shown him deep in study and learning. Ashe does have a rank in Spellcraft... have you looked at the DC to know something about a spell? Its not very high... and as a paladin he would be trained in the knowledge of threats of a divine nature, like glyphs. I have established he has also been through the Pathfinder Training and has ventured quite often on their missions. You seem to have an issue with my play style where I will indeed strongly advise people in the party.. just because Ashe words his emphatic requests politely enough that it would seem foolish to ignore them is on purpose.. he's lawful. BUT it is all in character! Tam was not nearly as educated at Ashe so he NEVER advized ANYONE on anything magical.. at least not until he started leveling in his summoner class which we never got to in the game. Nothing Ashe does is for ego it for party safety. I don't think its a matter of my post as much as the obvious charm and sane resolvability I placed in all his requests that YES indeed it would seem foolish to ignore them. But NEVER have I as a PLAYER demanded anything Ashe requests be obeyed. Yes, the paladin with the highest charisma in the party naturally gravitates toward a leadership role.. THATS what they do! I'm not sorry that I play him with a enough charisma that is NOT just a stat on paper but actually role-played that other players tend to follow his warning and requests. You will note that is not really what Silena does.. she's impatient but she is not trying to lead the party she leaves that to Calian. She has her opinions yes, but she generally goes along with the party. My character Tam from the Second Darkness Game was certainly not a leader fully a support character with his own private mental issues. So it is not me bullying the party to do anything in particular.. this is just how Ashe the highly motivated and charismatic paladin does things. He is trying to lead by example... none of my other characters have such a mission in life. Ashe is trying to show EVERYONE around him the proper way to do things as he see it in the lawful good way. Would you expect anything less of a paladin? You must however do what you feel is best for you.. if you are not enjoying a game then it might be best for you to step away from it. I'm really sorry to hear that you want to quit. I hope things in your private life are not adding to your stress and I hope you reconsider or at least find a game you will enjoy. Peace Man! Best of wishes.
LOLS! Yeah.. hear you Megan! :) I pondered long and hard what to post in her history and what definitely NOT too. I wanted to convey her terrible background and yet not offend or disgust. I don't care what the writers at Paizo say... Golarion is NOT PG-13!!! Zon-Kuthon is NOT a 'Family-Friendly' diety... and the Drow "society"...such as it is {if you would call it a society}.. is more likely rated XXX! So I will not be making such provocative posts with any regularity to maintain that 'family' environment. Silena is Lawful Neutral and though she believies in power through pain.. she is not a slavering sadistic pervert... though she does have some..{ahem} questionable pass-times and lets just say "open-minded" intimate interests. She is NOT a direct opposite of Asherick.. that would be unplayable as the party would eventually want to understandably kill such a freak! But Silena is a dark hero. She will work with others and is VERY solid in her morals that she does not force anyone to submit to her torments... much as Zon-Kuthon did not conquer Nidal.. they submitted to his request and accepted his offer of protection. A protection that has never faltered! If I have a future post that I think might be questionable.. I'll pm it to you before I post it. It should not happen... but I'll indeed be mindful! :) Oh and by the way everyone Silena's profile is mostly complete with her history, and appearance.. I'll get to her personality eventually. So feel free to read up on her! :)
I'm not wanting to sound ungrateful, I'm not I really do enjoy this game ... but Megan is their anyway you might be able to give us two posts a day? One post a day really makes the game drag. I'll still post... but I feel it can make interest wane with only one post to respond to. If I'm wrong about this then its cool ...but we haven't gotten a post from Shakhan in a while ...I'm sure he is still there... but he really has very little to react to for his character... Icabhod as well. I can chew on scenery with my posts until its destroyed with teeth marks but the other players are not so... eloquent {no insult meant}.. it should not be the Ashe show all the time. When I refrain from posting the game... seems to stall. Just a request... I know we are ALL busy trying to make ends meet, but a little more motion in the story could respark post interest. Thanks! :)
A Blast from the past... Anyone remember this?

History -
As he grew his fiery spirit and quick fleetness made many a Aseir wonder at the boy who they called Aerin... which in Ald tongue meant 'fire-heart'. It was appropriate as the boy seemd blessed by the power of Aedir himself his magic and power seen in the boy's heated glowing sword in battle raid and warmth he could summon even on the coldest of biting nights. So his place among the Aesir was respected if not wholly trusted... him being a mystery and a thing of Eldritch origin. As with the self same nature of his fiery spirit... Aerin was never satisfied with the simple or routine and wander lust filled his heart. Eventually he left the Aesir and journeyed far as a mercenary to see the world ever the wanderer and explorer hunting great beast in the jungles far to the south in Kush and riding across the vast deserts of
Aerin joined King Conan's army as a field chanter and war-minstrel to call out the signals for directing of troops.. for the famous Barbarian king was the stuff of legend and surely there would be action, song, tales of glory and wenches under his banner!
What about the {Standard} Strand of Prayer Beads - "Karma Bead" for a divine caster? Does that +4CL - increase spells per day or spell level Access?
I'm sorry to hear your difficulties Megan. I .. personally have been under-Employed for the last 9 years. No medical coverage, no regular dependable pay and unsure where I was going to get the money for my rent, power and light, gas for my car, car payment, car insurance ...even food. It has only been because of my parents being so supportive that have have managed to keep from being homeless and on the street. I use to be a programmer for the State of Indiana as a government employee for 7 years making $16.45/hr. I was not rich but I felt comfortable affluent. That was... now 18 years ago. I was young 24 to 25 and indeed I made some mistakes with that job admittedly... but I was I felt conscientious in trying to honestly do the job responsibly and honestly. I was hired to maintain the Registration programs for the state Bureau of Motor vehicles {BMV}. Truthfully {in my opinion} I was only hired to handle the Year 2000 needed changes n the programs and when that was done... they really didn't have any more need for me and the other employees they hired at the same time. I lost that job when I being young and admittedly a little naive saw one of the Senior Anaylst looking at his personal e-mail on his lunch break and reasonably thought it was something we could do. So I started doing the same. I had for the first 3 years of my employment resisted having my cubicle computer having ANY access to the internet. I felt it was a potential distraction that I did not want a risk for misuse. BUT my superiors insisted that every computer in the office have readily available internet access. So I found it ironic that I was fired because of misuse of the internet reported by the IT office automation technicians - who I was quite friendly with. I requested that I be allowed to resign and the managers accepted that. I found out later that to the person... everyone who was hired in the office in and around the time I was hired was one way of another fired or simply laid-off in the next three months after I was... allowed to 'resign'. The lead Office automation Analyst was fired not two weeks later for he was giving away the old computers that the office was no longer using and going to simply discard in the trash. He was fired for giving those machine to people who needed computers. I know Chung - the senior analyst and I'm pretty sure he reported my misuse and I'm also equally sure he had not expected me to be fired for it. I know he did not see what he was doing as anything wrong for it was his task to see to it all the old machine were completely wiped of any government information before they were discarded and he knew and did his job well. I found out later from a friend of mine unassociated with the BMV that my name appeared in the local newspaper in an article listing people who resigned from the BMV in the offices efforts to improve customer service... as if WE were responsible for the difficulties we were having in upgrading the BMV's 30 year out of date COBOL written, non-integrated data-systems for storing and accessing the vehicle records. You see that same year a new governor was elected and Mitch Daniels, and so one-way or another everyone in our office was gotten rid of legitimately or not in favor of his people newly hired. It was all political. Even my coworker hired the same day I was Helen, she told me later as we kept contact after I resigned that one day she came to work and her computer was locked and she was not allowed to sign on. she had done nothing and they just fired her flatly... and not only that black-balled her from returning to government work with the state! There was no reason given no hearing scheduled to explain why she was simply told by the HR that she was no longer needed and was escorted from the building. Even though we had both worked for the state diligently for 7 years. Hellen was fired 4 months after I was allowed to resign. I only learned this facct some two years after the fact as I felt a little guilty for not calling Helen sooner and I learned all this. In fact the Senior programmer who I had {VERY RELUCTANTLY} reported seeing reading personal e-mails [in fact I had seen almost ALL the senior analysts doing the same but I did not reveal that for I saw it as a witch hunt as they all did good work diligent work and I wanted no part of pointing blame] which gave me the impetus that it was an ok practice to read personal e-mail on lunch break - Helen told me he was sited for the same but was not fired only suspended from work for three days. Now - My point with all this... I spent the next 9 years looking for work that would give me a similar pay and was completely unsuccessful. It was a big shock to a young man to go from making so much to minimum wage jobs $7.25/hr. I burned through all my savings and worked as a substitute teacher until the policy changed made it more and more difficult to get regular work daily. I've worked briefly as a computer manufacturer {really more warehouse work - with GRUELING hours for VERY low pay...certainly not enough}, I've worked as maintenance manager for McDonalds {again for more reasonable hours but just not enough pay.. as they refused to pay me the proper wage for the job I did.. should have been about $9.25/hr but the managers insisted in only paying minimum wage - EVEN when they had told me when I accepted the job there would be a significant raise in pay commensurate with the increased responsibilities of the job}. Finally even a job at Kroger's shuffling produce again.. for minimum wage with low hours! It was not that I did not want to work - I had worked a regular 8AM to 4:30 PM job for 7 years with the state... it was just work was not available! This lasted for 9 years! It was quite a blow to my self image to suddenly after taking care of myself for so long to no longer to be able to keep a roof over my head or food on my table! I was deeply depressed. So I know what your going through and the deep amount of frustration you must be feeling over the situation. I encourage you to do not give up hope. Keep trying, keep praying for support from god, he knows you need a means of taking care of yourself and your family... he will not let you fall. As long as you live by his principles and in line with his purpose. I have just this week been blessed with a new job that is a schedule I can maintain weekdays for $9.25/hr and regular hours. I'm finally gainfully employed after all this time. I have been praying for such for years and have been answered. I know to some that are of less religious persuasion it may not seem like much. But to those of faith remember, MATTHEW 6:25 to 34... "On this account I say to you; stop being anxious about your souls as to what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your bodies as to what you will wear. Does not the soul mean more than food and the body more than clothing? Observe intently the birds of heaven, because they do not sow seed or reap or gather into storehouses; still your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they are? Who of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his life span? Also, on the matter of clothing, why are you anxious? Take lesson from the lilies of the field, how they are growing; they do not toil, nor do they spin; but I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these. If, now God thus clothes the vegetation of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much rather cloth you, you with little faith? So never be anxious and say, 'What are we to eat?' or, 'What are we to drink?' or, 'What are we to put on?' For all these things the nations are eagerly pursuing. For your heavenly father knows you need all these things.
Do not give up hope. :)
He seems disappointed to see Ethaniel retiring, pacing over to the bar as Samaritha closes up. "Water, if you please my dear. It's going to be a long night." he cuts Tam a smile. "It's been a long day. But perhaps you could regale me with a tale? You've spoken much of your father, but I know not where you come from." he says, with a smile. "Would you share it with me?"
I select what posts are most important with the time I have available. Yes, I may intentionally ignore a post for a time but I do always intend on answering it. LOL! Please take not offense at my words meant in jest.. they were not a chastisement of you DM_Waife! I realize that sometimes one must wait quietly for the lime-light as it were. The main story plots take precedence especially since this, encounter-plot has been building for sometime. :) EDIT: Wow.. that's odd! Why does this forum change words sometimes in your posts? "The Sins of the Father ARE the burdens of his sons!"... I distinctly remember tying are not of... strange. Maybe I'm typing too fast?
