The new and SHINY edition!

First! Or second, depending on what you mean...

Not quite so shiny anymore...

Hi! Any chance of an update over the weekend?

I'll get to an update.  I'm trying to wind this adventure up soon, so you'll have a bit of combat, resolve the situation, and then you can get your characters to more profitable region.

what about a region where the gm posts? i dont care for profit so much as game play...sorry if that hurts your feelings kool, but you do post more about ninjas in ooc then you do in helping us move the game along

Quite honestly, DM Kool, if you are stretched for time and don't have the resources to prepare the rest of the campaign, I'm perfectly fine with cutting it short, if the other players are okay with that too.  An adventure that isn't done properly isn't worth doing at all; and rather than drag it out over a few more weeks, with you too busy to enjoy it and us not having the benefit of your full attention as DM, maybe we should just throw in the towel.  This isn't intended as criticism of you, by the way - my schedule has weeks when I barely sleep, let alone have time to play online - merely as a suggestion.  We're here to have fun.  If we aren't having fun, let's reconsider our options.

I can get this done quickly if I don't bother to bring the new player in.  He hasn't done anything anyway, and he won't get anything out of this.  I'll tell him to look for another game to join.  I should be able to toss out some combat for you soon, I'll just need to work it up.  I should have an update within the next 24 hours, I'm too tired right now to do calculations.

I'd go with clearing this up ASAP. I'll try and wake Gauge btw ;-)

Yay, XP!!! Is it 10.000 points for level 5? Not that I'm getting close, but...

1+2+3+4=10, so level 5 is 10,000.

On a completely related note, how did you, as a half-drow, seal with getting xp after reducing LA?  I assume you just act afterwards like you never had it.  My sister seems to think otherwise.
