Like Osric said, there's no pressure here! Please take care of yourself.

Feel free to message any of us for a summary when you do want to join in again - just to save you from reading through all the posts!

Consider that thirded, and no worries, quick summary of "Previously on Glissom: Dark Heritage" episodes is always available.

Enjoy the heraldry and check you later.

Covid is a huge cost for society to carry, and the collateral damage to the delivery of health care is simply horrinle. In Ireland we decided that it would be ok to stop many forms of cancer treatment and also stop screening.
Uthen do what you have to do to keep going. I enjoy your interventions and love yiur recent work of heraldry. Keep safe.

Stay strong and all the best!

I'm sorry too, for loosing my PBeM Mojo.

Can't seem to get back into it as I've spent far too much time and energy on live zoom and discord games.

Now lockdown is pretty much over, I have to get a new job and earn some money!

In reply to Colm Cernach (msg # 299):

Good luck with the new job, Colm, and for what it's worth, I understand, it's hard to find the energy to play every game with the same enthusiasm all the the time at the best of times.

As this isn't the best of times IRL for everyone, I'm just glad you're OK, having a bit of fun gaming, and happy to hear that you're back in saddle job wise. :)

The party can see the dread city the king and flame have been carried to by the hawks of Nem from where they're (mostly) standing now IC, and that data has been confirmed by the ever vigilant Giles.

Party didn't investigate any further in the lower chambers, due to the need to find a way through the complex and the city swiftly. Also avoided the nasty ice spirit you ran into last time around. Found a genuine Selenite Military standard in the process too.

I am more sad than happy to report that Kores is still having a chat with a large and icy breathed reptilian chap down stairs. Left him some apples as rations and if he doesn't get eaten or frozen, then we can but hope that mayhap he'll learn a little ancient wisdom from his host until the party returns to pick him up as well.

Have a good one, and when you get your mojo back, we'll be here with open arms. :)

It's so good to hear that life is looking almost back to normal for you, Colm (as well as all other folks up North)! Those of us in Victoria are still stuck in Stage 4 lockdown. Not allowed to go further than 5km from home!
I hope you Aussies in other states are keeping safe, and hopefully you'll get to avoid a second lockdown!

In reply to Colm Cernach (msg # 299):

Beat of luck.

All e best in your new job Colm!

Earn more RL crowns!

The Selentine Standard is a VERY powerful artefact if i remember.

Right-oh! Back from holiday. Just need to catch up on everything that's happened in the last few days!

First week of term, this week, and with all my teaching moving online, it's more than a little manic, so not sure how often I'll be able to post. Feel free to NPC Brannon if I'm holding things up. He doesn't have any handy tricks up his sleeves, so he'll just try to concentrate on attacking the same person as Uthen to split their Defence.

In reply to Brannon Darrow (msg # 305):

Good luck!

I'm in the final few weeks of my uni term, so I may also be slightly absent! (Although I will admit that I use this as one of my many 'breaks' throughout the day!) But part of my course has me doing some teaching placements with a primary school - so I may be doing some distance teaching as well!

I don't know about a lack of handy tricks up his sleeves, but that's good advice, and good luck in the virtual classroom IRL, Brannon. :)

Same to you in the uni/virtual classroom, Leofwyn, and you have given Caith a good idea to follow up on so you're teaching an old wolf new tricks here already. :)

My own apologies for being often distracted lately also. *Points at reality being complicated and often difficult to explain...* :(

Hopefully I am now somewhat freer to concentrate on the imaginary problems of gaming rather than my own for a bit. :)

Hey guys.

I am real sorry. Something personal came up and I can't post for some time. Please go ahead and have fun.

I apologize again for having to be away after you guys made such effort to include me.

I hope things go as well and smoothly as they can in such circumstance.

Take care.

We’ll save the kingdom (actually the whole world I guess) for Prince Doron on a silver platter! :-)

May the road rise with you, Player of Doron, and please don't apologize for it, as I am well aware that the problems of Real Life always come before the complications of Imaginary Lives in RPGs in priority.

In regard to Osric's most generous claims, I dunno about a silver platter, yer highness, but as to the rest? Might take a bit of work yet, but we'll get there, never fear. :)

In reply to Brannon Darrow (msg # 305):

Have fun teaching my priestly friend! My term is ending soon! Just done with the exam marking and left with the national exams! Thank God for Cambridge ;)

In reply to Prince Doron (msg # 308):

Look after yourself, Doron! It was a pleasure to have you join, and we will be eager for your return!

It's been a bit of a shambles of a week IRL for me, and I am attempting to catch up with my various imaginary lives as I type this.

Thank you all for your patience with my slowness in posting.

Looks at IC thread...
Dead mens fingers fungus and flying witches? Hmmm. Summat strange going on here and no mistake.

All good!

I, too, have lost track of the time and the days. I have begun my teaching placement with 30 twelve year olds... so I may be posting slower than usual.

It's getting excitingly close, though...

Sounds like you’ll be in more peril than the party in Nem!  Enjoy (I think...) :-)

Ah, students.

"I mean, it's incredible.  One day the campus is completely bare.  Empty.  The next, there are children everywhere.  Like locusts.  Crawling around, mindlessly bent on feeding and mating.  Destroying everything in sight in their relentless, pointless desire to exist."

Is that a Rupert Giles quote?
