Congratulations!

Good luck. Interviews were always aggrivating and the waiting is worse.

Can everyone see the shambling mounds okay?

Three to the north and one to the South?

Is there problems with the map?

I don't have any problems, unless I have an old map? Just asking because I don't think Twiggy is going to make it into the fight just yet.

I can't remember - has anyone been used or openly worn a slingshot?

Twiggy has a Sling.....

Essentially, next round Amara is going to use the sling to fling the bullet with darkness on it toward the chanting. It might nor work, but has a relatively large radius, and as this round is being spent by others healing people, etc, it's not really a waste of time.

No problem.

Sorry I've been slow lately. I've been building Demolition Derby cars for my friend so he can take them to the shows where they're filming a show for the History Channel. He won the first show, so I'm sure there will be a great interview with him in it. I think the show is going to be called Metal Mayhem.

Wow!  Sounds exciting!

Don't worry,  my friend.  Real Life comes first

What I did on my summer vacation
Why I'm doing what I"m doing:

Lorrik is supposed to be a henchman.  He's here to carry things for us and watch the horses.  But he's incredibly vulnerable.  If we have him anywhere near combat, the chance of him getting killed is pretty high.   In-game we're teaching him the adventuring profession, and any levels he can gain will help him survive.  But he's not supposed to be an actual member of the group.

So my plan is to get away, set up a camp, let Lorrik keep watch, and then we all come back and kill whatever this is.

My hope is that if we make a good faith effort to put Lorrik somewhere safe, BB will look the other way where he's concerned.

Myarra, I have to agree with you about Lorrik.

I have to look the other way, huh?

It's friggin hot here today...114 degrees. :(

My hope is that you'll look the other way.  Respectfully.  Grovelling even :)

Sorry about the heat.

It's been brutal in Texas as well.  I can sympathize


And I'm  Also a fan of keeping Lorrik uneaten

My friend is Stan McDonald.

You can win that much money ramming cars into each other?

Yes you can. But they put a lot of money into their cars as well.

Sorry for my absence.

Last week lightning struck a tree about 50' from our house.  It hit the top, which is about 200 feet high, zapped down the length, and blew the bark off the bottom 10' of tree.  We've found shreds of bark up to 80' away.  There are obvious cracks in the tree, which means we need to have someone come and take it down before it decides to fall.  Remember, 200' tall tree, 50' from house.  Probably won't hit us given the lean, but I'm not interested in percentages right now.   And if it falls the way I think it will, it will land right across the driveway, trapping us, and condemning us to be eaten by the cats when their food runs out.

Unfortunately, the energy then zipped through the ground to our house, where it played whack-a-mole with the electrical system.  The circuit breakers snapped, but not quite quickly enough.  The surge blew out our AC and several appliances (all the ones with delicate electronic control systems).  We've also lost one whole circuit in the basement, but the electrician says it's probably a Ground Fault Interrupt which tripped.  And it's most likely behind one of our bookcases.  I'll need to clear that part of the basement, move all the books, and check behind each bookcase (total of 5) until I find out where it is.  There was nothing critical on that circuit, so I'll get to it when I have time ... probably sometime early in 2020.

So with temperatures in the 90's, and no AC, we've been spending a good amount of time out of the house when possible.  The internet has been a much lower priority.

Fortunately, I'm back at work today (took most of last week off to deal with repair scheduling), and RPOL ranks higher than my afternoon meeting.

I'll get reading the IC thread ASAP.  Can't promise any posts today, but if not, definitely tomorrow.

On a related yet totally unrelated note: We went to see the Christopher Robin movie.  It's hilarious for anyone that remembers the old Winnie the Pooh cartoons or has read the books.  The adults in the audience were laughing as much, if not more, than the kids.  In case anyone wonders, Eeyore is my favorite.

In reply to Myarra (msg # 966):

Wow!!!  That's horrific,  my friend.    Please be careful

I was wondering if that movie was good. I'll go see it now.
