No worries.

It's time now for everyone to act if they want to.  I don't enforce a strict initiative order.  I picked up a trick from Annihilator, and do a short partial round to get everybody who acts before the monsters done, resolve that and the monsters, then we can just go to a players act/monsters act sequence.

Occasionally there are things that have to be fudged this way that wouldn't if I resolved every action in order, but it seems to me that things move a lot faster this way, even if I have to back and fill if there are too many changes in the middle.

I guess I was being poked, been in bed sick but I'm almost back on my feet now ;)

I'll go post straight away!

Rothilio, do you have an action you want included this round?

Gah, I'm sorry.  I don't know why I didn't think it was my turn to post.

Sorry folks, I got waylaid by Christmas stuff.

Merry Christmas!  :)

No problem, happy holidays :)

I have exams till the 1/2, so if my posting seem a bit sporadic you know why.

Feel free to NPC my character should the need arise.

I'd rather not NPC Khidrath as the first through the door.  Does anybody else feel like taking the lead?

Back - sorry it took a little longer than expected.

Good to see you.

I've been having nightmares getting any sort of reliable connection to rpol this week, so I haven't gotten much done here anyway.

Sorry, folks.  Got hit with the flu late Saturday, felt halfway decent Sunday, and have spent the rest of this week going to work hopped up on meds just so I can function, then coming home and basically collapsing.

I've tried to get online a couple of nights, but this is the first evening that I've felt like doing anything at all.

Now, let's see if I can get caught up...

Blah.  I got that a bit ago.

This is the worst case of flu I've EVER had.  It's been over a week and the last of it is still hanging on.  I'm functional, but I'm wiped out most of the time.

Is this a negative 'too much combat' comment?  Or an IC 'the fun never stops' from Borin?  I can't decide.

It was my understanding there would be no math.

You kidding!!! There is no such thing as too much melee. :)
It is what I live for.

(I am a walking tank after all...)

OK.  Thanks.  Just wanted to make sure.

Jim, hon.  Take care of yourself, and make certain you're getting enough fluids and enough rest.  Okay?

*chuckles* Fluids are no problem.  I suspect I'll only manage to get enough rest by dying, so I'll pass on that for a while yet. ;-)

*giggles*  Silly boy.  :p  You know what I meant.  :p

I can't remember how much of this I've already said on which games, so I'll cover it all for the sake of completeness.  If I'm duplicating, please forgive me.

For some reason, last week, my blood pressure really spiked, giving me blinding headaches.  It was almost like all of my meds that I take for it just stopped working.  I finally got into the doctor's office on Friday, and he shuffled my meds around, upping one and adding one.  It's taken all weekend for the new meds to even touch it, and today's the first day in a week that I've gotten through work without pain meds for my headaches.  I still feel like I've been beaten though.

Part of what the doctor suggested is that I slow down some.  He says I'm too stressed (go figure...)  I'm going to take the rest of this week off of everything except work and church.  I took the last two days of last week off even from those.

I'll be back to all of my games on Monday 3/17 (St. Paddy's own blessed day).  For those games where I'm GMing, sorry for the delays, both last week's largely silent one and this week's.  Please bear with me.

For those games where I'm playing, please feel free to NPC me however is needed to keep things moving along.

Jim, take care of yourself.  RPOL < IRL.

Hope you feel better soon, and no worries we'll still be here!

Hope you get well soon.
