[OOC] The Trading Post

[mad_gondsman]

Yep, Pervilash is the name of the Faerie Dragon. I'll work on getting you guys an update today.

(Did you think I was going to kick you guys while you're down? )

[OllieNorth]

Well, I mean, yeah. Basically.

[Embrodak]

What better time to kicks us, but when we are down..

I was really looking forward to having Because you know.. He's the only one who can seeLister stir up the Stirge's nest and run right into the bad guys.

[mad_gondsman]

I haven't forgotten about you guys. It's just a busy week. I'll get a post in here soon.

[EngrInAZ]

I will be out of town from Friday, Oct 11th through Saturday, Oct 19th. I will probably be checking in from time to time but not able to post much. Please NPC my characters when necessary.

[mad_gondsman]

Hey hey, all... just an update. I know this one has seen a few dry spells, but I just haven't had the time this past week to do much outside of the essentials... of which RPGX has been edged out by eating, sleeping, and working in hopes that I will continue to receive a paycheck. I live in Northern Virginia, so this whole shutdown thing has everyone stressed out.

Also, I'll be out of town next week, so... as always, I'll come out and see what we can do with this thing.

[mad_gondsman]

Hey! I know I've made a lot of apologies, but seriously... these past few months have been hard. The shutdown hit hard enough, but they might have forgotten to put a lot of people's salaries in that budget that we've heard so much about... so I'm not out of the woods yet, but at least everyone is back to work for now.

That aside, I probably needed a big break, anyway. It's hard to stay motivated sometimes as a DM and when games fail/flounder, it's disheartening. I had three grind to a halt all at once just before I took a leave of absence. My gamer heart faltered just as RL dragged me away. All of that said, I still plan on continuing this. We're so close to the conclusion, but there's still a lot to be done and I'd love to see what you guys do next. There's also a kingdom to be (re)built!

SO I'll play it by ear. I'll work on an update and we'll see who is still participating. I'm not going to crack the whip on anyone (if anything, you guys should crack the whip on me) so we'll just see how it shakes out. If anyone pulls out (or has already), I'll NPC their character to keep your numbers strong instead of drilling them in the eyeballs with +3 Quarrels of PC Bane this time.

[OllieNorth]

Good to see you back, MG.

[EngrInAZ]

The lull is understandable. You wont have to NPC Alric...I'm still around.

[idilippy]

And except for when I'm braindead from, or working an all nighter (like now) I am here also.

[Cedric]

Hey M_G, don't worry I'm used to games that are slow paced here. They usually are the best ones, so I'm not going anywhere.

[Cedric]

Hey all been real busy lately, barely had time to throw in a hasty update in my games.
I'm heading to Ireland for a few days, expect to be back Monday night. Will get back to updating my games around mid-week, NPC me if needed.

[Cedric]

Not sure how much I can contribute for the next week or so, heading for a small surgery tomorrow morning - Fixing my crooked nose from a car accident some 20 years ago, so I will be on some good 'ol funtime medications while looking like a raccoon for dew days. NPC if I'm dragging behind.

[mad_gondsman]

Yikes. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

[mad_gondsman]

Just a reminder that the group still has a satchel of potions that have yet to be used, as listed in the loot thread. I think these may be independent of the one that Alric used earlier?

I think I forced Calmor to carry them after no one expressed any interest in them, so... if you're interested, you can divvy those up when you start taking stock of what you have at your disposal.

Also, it will take a DC 15 Spellcraft or DC 15 Knowledge (Planes) check to identify any properties regarding the stone.
