As the previous OOC thread was retired beyond its 1,000 post mark, this is its replacement.

Most of you have a day in Kalaman before Olven arrives. Any plans?

Can I figure out the magical items?

You can try. We have to see what you figure out if you do.

As soon as he can get to the proper place, D'aden is going to ask after Olven. Something is ailing the axeman and D'aden feels duty bound to help.

He's a day behind you, so you have a day before Olven catches up.

Well, I do have a lot of information gathering type magic at my hands.

Pretty much everything in my knowledge portfolio could be good.

Feel free to try it IC.

There are two NPCs with the group too. Alvin and the traveling bard you met on the road. The bard will likely go elsewhere, as he was traveling on his own. But what about Alvin, she helpt finishing things in the Lyceum.

I don't know anything abut Alvin really.....

Alvin is the elven healer you met in the Lyceum. She provided one of the three keys that let you enter the final room and rescue the girl from the dragon and the dragon highlord. Olven invited her to join the group and share in your loot.

You also need to decide what you're doing with the loot you brought with you.You have a wagon load of the stuff, including a lot of platinum pieces. And the guards that came with it.

I would have commented on this sooner, but I was away and unexpectedly had no access

Anything else you want to do before we bring the group back together at the palace?

well, I'll make sure everyone has a place to stay (even if it's at my place) and food for their stomachs, then I'll start the work on identifying the magic stuffs...and if there's spare time start researching the illnesses

You can cast the spell six times in a working day and each time you will reveal one effect. How do you want to order the items?

Sorry, it took some time for me to find it all.

A magic scroll. The black hooded cloak D'aden is wearing. Wizard's Amulet (connected to the Guardian), bracers, cloak, 2 potions, small knife, 1 foot tube of hardened black silver. Dragonhighlord's armor.

I'll start with the dragonhighlords armour. I'll keep on identifying things until all functions are uncovered.
Then the amulet
then the hooded cloak
then the other cloak
then bracers
If you need any more please let me know.

On the day Olven should arrive, D'aden will wait alongside the road to see the mercenary. If he doesn't show up, D'aden will head off down the road to find him.

Real Life is taking a toll. Unfortunately, I don't have the time I'd like to spend here right now. I hope that changes, but it doesn't seem to be changing soon.

We will be here when you get back.

RL has kicked my butt more than once.

btdtclytts

Will wait patiently for any change that may come.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that, DD, and I hope things get better.

Real Life has slowed down. So I once again have time to spend here. Is anyone around to continue the adventure?

Is it terribly sad to state that I'm always here because I have no real life, or would that just be a little neurotic?

Present :)

I’m here!

So everyone is here, awesome!

We might as well have the loot discussion OOC. In the first post of the Treasure thread, we have listed what each of you taken for yourselves. In addition to that, we have the 4,000 platinum crowns and 15 jewels you found in the treasure room. And the magical books from the library.

The 83 platinum crowns each of you already have, are worth $41,500 each. Plus the value of whatever else your character has claimed. Some of those things are magical and some you don't know the value of.

So are any of you claiming anything else? The next adventure will likely not be this rich in rewards. But an average person could live more than 5 years on what you have gotten already. Though adventurers can have extraordinary expenses.

D'aden was never in it for the coins, and would be happy with what he's carrying. Despite what anyone else thinks, he'll probably try to keep the wagon and team if he can. Kind of like the end of 'Streets of Fire', where the hero gets nothing but the stolen car, but without the electric instruments, of course.

ok, well, Roisin isn't overly concerned about money either.

She would however ask for a few things
1) To be granted utrecht
2) She'd make sure the books got to the involved person
3) she'd ask if she could be granted the Lyceum from the King so she could set about reopening it as a place of magical teaching.

And if she were to pursue such a quest, D'aden would offer to go along and assist (D'aden is friendly to a fault, and will always feel a sense of duty to his traveling companions).

The past week has been busy, sorry about that.

If you want to ask the King's permission, you have to do that IC.

I'll do so IC, would the permission be for the Lyceum, Utrecht or both?

Did we find the icon of truth?
I can't remember...

How about elemental water?
This message was last edited by the player at 14:40, Sat 25 Aug 2018.

Pretty sure the elemental water was for some project the king had in mind, so I doubt we get to keep it.
Actually, Olven is the only one that would know about the elemental water quest.
This message was last edited by the player at 16:09, Sat 25 Aug 2018.

Wasn't asking if we got to keep it...was just asking if we even had it.

Yep, and Roisin is the only one to know about the icon quest.
I would say that make D'aden footloose and fancy free, but if the wrong god misheard D'aden's ankles would grow straight down into the floor, then become roots as his arms transformed to leafy branches, right before the swarm of ants climbed on him.

You do have some elemental water. You can keep it or give it to the dwarven cleric. Or someone else.

You do not have the Icon of Truth. Checking the Quest thread, the King and the Master of Past and Present borrowed it. So that would be a good place to start.

Roisin, what you ask the King's permission about is up to you.

ok, so is Olven present with us at the King?

He is. I'm guessing that Olven's player has been busy with real life issues.

Let's let Olven catch up when he can.

You have one month before you need to leave for the next assignment. You have some loose ends to tie up before that. What are your plans?

Hand the books over to the appropriate peoples.
Figure out what current plans regarding the Lyceum are.
Research any malady that might be afflicting Olven
See about buying one or more horses since I'm sure the barons place is a fair distance away.
Buy some treats for ochre.

D'aden wasn't involved in the elemental water thing and knows nothing of the icon of truth. He'll busily repair and replace anything he needs to repair and replace, then explore nearby water sources in an attempt to beat his own personal best as far as size of fish landed. Being who he is, he'll attempt to drag Roisin and Olven with him on these local expeditions; I expect nothing.

There are a few things he would attempt to acquire
• a scabbard for his new sword
• a horse with tack (although I don't much care if he's abrupt and rude)
• lute strings (you never know when that Josie gal is gonna come up with a marvelous device made possible by lute strings)

The baron's place is about a day's travel on horseback to the west.

Feel free to add your loot from the Treasure thread to your character sheet. 1 Platinum Coin (PC) is $500. Please PM me with any gear, including mounts, you want to add to your character sheet.

Hi, everyone. I'm back now, and I'm very sorry for the delay. I'll post later today.

Olven!!!!

or should I say Baron Olven!!!

Oh, welcome back, your Grace.

As you may already have seen, the main thread is a little quiet right now as the audience with the King is over and they are preparing for the next step. But feel free to post your reactions there and PM me about what you want to do during the month of "downtime" you have and any new gear or mounts or other things you'd like to add to your character sheet.

WHich reminds me, I haven't given you CP for the last part in the Lyceum. Let me get back to you on that.

I'm not sure what of the treasure belongs to us and what belongs to the king. I know we were initially sent to the Lyceum to bring back funds to rebuild Kalaman. I'm not sure what you guys have divvied up yet and what goes to the king, but Olven will suggest giving the lion's share of the gold and gems to Kalaman, since that's what we were sent to do.

Olven will suggest that Roisin and Olven return the elemental water to the dwarven cleric. He will make excuses in order not to accompany them.

For Olven's share of the treasure, he will invest in some clothing befitting his new status (an unexpected and thoroughly undeserved gift), a horse (ideally trained for war with bit, bridle, bandings, and the rest). Whatever other money he has, he will invest in his barony - hiring staff (guards, a seneschal, a housekeeper, a cook). If there's anything else, he'd like to invest it in the barony itself to build it up - perhaps he can invest in some kind of industry, agriculture, or commercial endeavors.

The others have basically said that they will keep only what already is listed in the first post of the Treasure thread.

As far as your barony, the King will provide a lot of money to set it up. There's more about that in the PM.

Okay, sounds good. Olven will have his items appraised, then. Roisin, could you check Olven's items for him?

He'll take Status 3 and donate the rest of the money to Kalaman's rebuilding efforts.

For the record
I fail 3 by a tiny margin, but do REALLY well on the first 2

12:05, Today: Roisin uth Bannatar rolled 15 using 3d6.  merchant 3.

12:05, Today: Roisin uth Bannatar rolled 8 using 3d6.  Merchant 2.

12:05, Today: Roisin uth Bannatar rolled 8 using 3d6.  Merchant 1.

By my count, Olven has six items that could be identified.
* gem
* magical halberd
* bow
* a small opaque light blue-green stone
* a small transluscent pink and green stone
* a small blue stone with white and gold veins

Which were you looking at?

The halberd and the three stones. I'm curious to know if the stones are magical or not.

I'm curious to see whether or not Olven will try to get D'aden to bow to him.

On your knees, varlet!

Did I manage to identify any of the other magical goodies we found?

No, no, I haven't been properly trained to be a personal male attendant.

We know that A magic scroll, the black hooded cloak D'aden is wearing, the Wizard's Amulet (connected to the Guardian), bracers, cloak, 2 potions, small knife, one foot tube of hardened black silver, and the Dragonhighlord's armor are magical.

I didn't find any post trying to figure out in what way. You have time and money to do that now if you like.

Oops, sorry! Olven’s Multiple Personalities Disorder is seeping through.

Yes, during the downtime, I will take the time to figure out all of our new toys :-)

Is there anything left to cover before we move out?

I have one question. When you leave, are you going by land or by sea? That choice will determine which place you visit first. Land = Baron and Sea = Palanthus.

My vote would be for sea :-)

D'aden votes for two lights, as well. It's been awhile since he was shipboard, so he wants to refresh his skills. Has he mentioned to anyone that he used to be a sailor?

My PC died. Replacement parts get here tomorrow.

I'm glad to hear it's soon up and running again. I know all too well how disruptive a dead PC can be.

I hope all your files are safe, Roisin. Sounds like a huge headache!

It's coming together well, but I'll need a day yet.  The new case is a major pain.

I hope it submits to your will.
This message was last edited by the GM at 19:36, Sat 17 Nov 2018.

and.....I'm back-ish the computer is in bits, but it's working outside the case :-)

You are braver than I am. I would never even attempt to do something like that.

Your characters don't know this yet, but to truly study the Icon of Truth, takes 8 hours per day for a week. And it has to be done alone.

You could choose to do it in sequence and stay here for as many weeks as there are persons in the group who want to read it. Or you can do it in shifts, which means that three people can do it in one week, but those characters wouldn't be able to interact with the other two at all during that week.

But then studying in the library would take time too, which you wouldn't be allowed to do until you had completed your study of the Icon of Truth and pledged allegiance to the High God.

This change would be a greater impact for some of you than it would be for others. Studying the Icon of Truth will inform you of what the High God has to offer and what would be required of you if you pledged allegiance. Only after that do you make the choice to give your allegiance or not.

Olven is up for the challenge. We’ll need to find a place where he can be barricaded for the night, though.

It's a big tower. And an even bigger city outside.

I vote for doing shifts, and worrying about whether the others are becoming involved in some dangerous plot.

To facilitate any questions you might have, I'm posting this in the OOC thread, instead of in an OOC section of the IC thread.

Those of you who choose to abandon your old gods and follow the High God will be able to learn to use both arcane and divine magic. At the same time! You will earn Magery 0 [5] if you don't have it. You may elect to take Clerical Investment [5] if you don't have it and want to be an ordained priest of the High God. Those who have Magery 0 or have/don't want Clerical Investment can use the 5 or 10 points saved on additional levels of Magery or Power Investiture. You do not need both of those advantages to use both types of magic. This means that both arcane and divine spells will be available to you. Though Gate spells and most Technological spells are still off limits as mentioned in the House Rules thread.

You will also have Religious Rank (High God) 0 [0] as a member of the Order. But it will not give you a Duty to the Order.

In addition, you may take Order related disadvantages to get additional points to spend on traits that could have come from this epiphany.

Let me know in PMs what, if anything, particular you want to do with the rest of your time during this week.

D'aden, you might like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERC3pPD6Rh8

I'm ashamed to say I completely missed your last song reference, but my daughter asked for the movie this Christmas, and I realized your allusion when I was looking back over the latest thread. =)

I forgot one thing. Studying the Icon of Truth will also give you 1 point of Theology.

Sorry for the delays, I went home over the holidays and just got back.
I'll catch up tomorrow. I'm exhausted from the travel.

It’s good to have you back, Roisin!

Yep, good to have you back. You might have missed a song or two; I'll try to catch you up.

I figured it was the holidays. It's good to have you back!

I hope you all had happy holidays.
This message was last edited by the GM at 07:14, Wed 09 Jan 2019.

Sorry I've not posted yet.
I'm a little in a quandary.

Would Roisin accept the invitation?
There are good answers for both yes and no.

That is completely up to you.

And there are two steps to the invitation. The first is to read the Icon of Truth. It takes a week of your time, but you don't have to make any commitments until you have finished reading. And choosing to switch allegiance from Solinari to the High God, will open new doors, but it will also close old ones.

Olven, D'aden, and Alvin all wanted to read the Icon of Truth. So we can say that they read it first. And they all decided to follow the High God. And you might want to talk to them IC and find out why.

If you want to be a Solinari following white-robed wizard, you shouldn't change.

Before you joined the group, there was another character who was in a similar situation. Change who you are to get information that will help the group. The player didn't want to change, but he chose to change for the team. I thought he was fine with that choice, but he shortly thereafter left the game.

It seems that he believed that he had to do it for the group and didn't like how his character changed. But at the same time, another character got the same information in another way.

So what I'm saying is this. You should stay true to the vision of your character. And make your choices based on that. If you want to change, you can do that. If you don't want to change, you shouldn't.


Stuff happened to Olven and you know what he's dealing with. As I've been throwing out hints regarding his coming change for a long time, the player noticed even though the character at first did not. And there is a cure, so I knew that Olven could get out of it if he wanted to.

Some time ago, before Olven's change had fully manifested, your choices in the Lyceum placed D'aden in front of a possible change and I mentioned it to him. I did this because there was no cure and I didn't want to unilaterally change his character in such a major way. It resulted in no change.

Choice is very important to me. And I don't want to force you into anything. We're here to have fun. The characters may go through some tribulation along the way, but it is your choice that changes them and determines what adventures they have. Not my fiat.


And when I sat down to respond, I wasn't planning on writing this much, but here we are. So in summary. You make the choice. The choice you want to make for your character. And consider the needs of the group only if you want to. And in this case, you have three characters you can ask IC that might give you new information that might inform your choice.

Let's go with the "not making my mind up" at the moment.
It's pretty sure I'd read the Icon of Truth along with the others.
I think it might depend on interaction with the others in the tower and how persuasive the icon is itself in terms of argument and discourse.

I mean I might discuss it in PM with you.

Roisin is really busy at work at the moment, so let's try to work around her.

Leading up to this point, we can assume that she wants to spend time in the library performing research. Is there anything, in particular, you would like to do at the tower or in Palanthus?

I'd like to spend time in the library researching, too. After we finished our research, I'll be ready to leave.

While focusing on study, D'aden will also look for more people to befriend, more songs to learn, something more in the woods to hunt, and somewhere else to fish. Depending on how long they linger, he might also start, or help with, a herb garden.

We are all here again. Any plans on what to do with the information in my latest post?

I have a personal obligation to return the icon. And another to help olven, and a third to help the king..so....

D'aden thinks they should ask Hiro The Master of Past and Present what favor he wishes so they can perform said favors and return the Icon of Truth as they agreed to do.

Feel free to ask.

How are things going?

Better? :-)

As a reminder, Aurek draconians are evil dragonmen with golden scales. The rarest of draconians.

How are things going?

Busy, but good. I’m very to have disappeared for so long. I’m still busy, but I should be okay until August.

It's good to have you back.

I've had some issues with this site and haven't been able to come here for a few days. But things seem to have been solved now.

Yes, the site was down for me, too. Apparently some old files in the system had filled up the storage and needed to be cleared out.

Anything else you want to do before you leave? Do you know where you want to go?

Sorry for not being here. I've had some technical issues. But that should be solved now.

I must confess I've no idea where we should be going, next. I know, sort of, what we're looking for but don't know how to find it.
This isn't a good situation, because I read the book AND watched BOTH movies.

There’s no earthly way of knowing
Which direction they are going!
There’s no knowing where they’re rowing,
Or which way they river’s flowing!
Not a speck of light is showing,
So the danger must be growing,
For the rowers keep on rowing,
And they’re certainly not showing
Any signs that they are slowing…"

You've read what book and watched what movies?

That was from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I'm always reminded of this when I'm unsure of direction.
This message was last edited by the player at 13:43, Thu 04 July 2019.

Ah. I haven't read the book. I've seen portions of at least two different somethings on TV. I have a vague memory of a TV series way back. But not something I've really paid attention to.

Obviously.

Are you going to look for loot or are you moving on?

Are you doing anything in particular?

While I'm thinking about it, I'll be away the first half of September. Most of that time I'll be in Orlando, visiting among other things Galaxy's Edge, the new Star Wars land at Disney World.

I intend to post a reminder towards the end of August.

Galaxy’s Edge looks very cool! Enjoy your trip, DD!

Thank you! I'm so looking forward to going there.

Now that you have a location, is there anything else you want to do in town?

We should probably consider hiring a local guide, and maybe provisioning for the trek.

Yes, good idea, D’aden. Let’s do both if we can. Let’s see about money changers as well.

I do think the group had some sort of plan to keep Olven safe, but I'm not 100% sure what it was.

Lock him in a room and let Roisin’s golem play babysitter?

That was basically what I was thinking, yes.

As we're almost there now, I'm letting you know again that I will be away during the first half of September.

How are things going, everyone?

Things suck. Things suck so bad the whole earth seems to be traveling through a vacuum. Of course, I'm ok. How are you?

I am back. And still alive.

Haha! I’m doing great. =) Well, other than getting older, but I’ve had this problem all my life, and it seems to be terminal. =)

Have you heard from Roisin, DD? I hope my irregular posting hasn’t made Roisin’s player lose interest.

I haven't heard from her in about three months. Depending on how you interpret what she wrote, there may have been a death in her family. Or at least someone wasn't doing well and didn't get better.

I’m very sorry to hear that. I hope she’s doing better.

Sorry, yup, my mother passed away. I wasn't dealing with it great, and as soon as I was back in a good mental state I ended up coming down with the worst viral infection I've ever had in my life.

Ah, Roisin, I’m so sorry. How are you doing now?

Losing a parent is difficult at any age, To make it worse, most of us are parent's before we lose our own. Leaves us looking for something, somewhere to lean on.

I'm working with a few players, so hopefully we'll have the group reinforced soon.

Oh, that’s great! It’s a perfect time to bring new folks on, too.

Indeed. Thanks for suggesting it.
This message was last edited by the GM at 16:01, Mon 30 Sept 2019.

Seeing the doc again today.

I hope you get some good news today, Roisin.

It's more important that the doc see you, best of luck.

Finally, a doc that knows their stuff. It's not an abnormally long cold (6 weeks and running), it's pneumonia.

I'm glad you know what it is. Even if it was bad news. I hope you get well soon.

Greetings all!


One more addition to the game here, finally posting. Looking forward to joining the game.


As for the most recent conversation, at least they caught it finally!

Gah, pneumonia sounds awful! I hope they’re able to treat it now, Roisin.

Good to have you, Aerynn!

Aerynn is one of several people I'm working with to add to your group.

Pneumonia just means "inflammation of the lungs", not indicating cause and therefore solution. Usually, doctors just throw antibiotics at it. If the root cause is viral or fungal, or some sort of macroparasite, the antibiotic is a waste of time.
OK, warning done.
Welcome, Aerynn, D'aden is looking forward to meeting new people and killing things together.

I am still poorly.
On new antibiotics that are more targetted to the infection.

I hope you get better soon!

Man, Roisin. Sorry to hear you're still feeling so poorly. I hope that the new antibiotics are more effective.

Hi, all. Thanks for having me!

Hiya, Nassrin, and welcome to the game!

About time we had some diversity, here, welcome to our newest cannon fodder.. uh.. fellow adventurers!

I don't have language group options. Nassrin is speaking in the foreign common.


Well, hopefully I'll take those shots while not being cannon fodder. Nassrin is built as a true tank in the MMORPG style, to take blows and stop the enemy from beating up on you all. So "cannon fodder" is somewhat fitting.

Only Roisin knows any of the local languages. She automatically translates between the two groups.

Before we get into a combat I should explain Nassrin a little. She would have mentioned some things at some point along the way. She can protect you well if you're near her. Mechanically, if you're beside her, up to 2 hexes to either side, she can parry attacks headed toward you. She can also trip people fairly well if they they try to move past her to get to anyone behind her. She can take a beating, too, so she can handle being up front as her role requires. Hopefully that will give everyone some idea of how to work with her so she can be the tank and stop a lot of the hurt from reaching you all.

If the group wants to keep a map of this place, one of the characters and one of the players would have to make a map. The character making the map doesn't have to be controlled by the player making the map.

Adding to that, any measurements I give are estimates made by your characters.

We definitely need a map. I'll create the map if one of the PCs can be the one making it.

As no one seems to be the PC to draw the map, we can let Alvin do it. Do we have the tools to make a map?

Just so it's clear that I'm not holding out, D'aden has neither the requisite skill nor the necessary material to make a map.

Well, this is pretty not amazing, but this is what I whipped up in Google Sheets:

https://docs.google.com/spread...mgM/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you for making that map! Let's assume we have the materials with us. Because seeing that, I note that I didn't include something you would have noted when you entered the new room. All three doors go to the same room.

Okay, I've updated the map. I'll try to keep it updated after every new room.

Cool. Thanks, Olven.

Any plans?

The usual. Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, etc. The wife wants carrot cake instead of coconut cream pie this year, but I just go for the pumpkin so I don't mind.
OH! The lizardmen!
I'm not sure D'aden has any context with which to approach these guys. If they look anything like draconians, we could kill them in their sleep. But whether or not they DO sleep is still a question, so, I don't know.
This message was last edited by the player at 16:39, Mon 25 Nov 2019.

I've never tried coconut cream pie, but I wouldn't mind doing so. Carrot cake is amazing though. So if there were both, I think I would have to try the first. And likely finish with the second.


Quoting from the IC thread:

"[The dragon siblings] burned all defenders and, brother and sister, ruled the land. Lizardmen rose up from the swamps to be their closest servants and officials. For three generations of humans, no one could stand against them. They had great caverns dug for themselves in the dragonish fashion on opposite sides of a hill and they had a palace raised above it from which they ruled. The dragon king had his seat in the east part of the palace, and the queen in the west."

Responding to a question about what monster groups are in the mountains (and Tiichi is the only draconian you've seen on this continent): "Oh my," the dancer exclaimed. "Nothing simple like that." She looked at Tiichi out of the corner of her eye. "There are ogres, minotaurs, bear folk," looking at Tiichi again out of the corner of her eye, "lizard folk, Teremere, wights, corpse-eaters, and a few trolls." She shivered. When I think about them, I hear lofty pines on Misty Mountain."



If you look at them, lizard folk are to lizards what draconians are to dragons. These are of course the first lizard folk you've ever met.

And for the locals, these lizard folk are considered monsters.

Yes, the other door is opposite the first. But most of the room is further "north" than the "northernmost" wall in the large room.

I updated my latest post to include a wall ending the room. So yes, you have explored all of the left side of the room.

Back from holidays. Must catch up...

I got out today. Still on large amounts of painkillers and antibiotics. I'll catch up and post. Sorry for not keeping you all up to date.

Roisin, it’s good to hear from you! I hope you continue to get better.

Welcome back, Nassrin!

Welcome back!

All of you can feel free to post in the IC thread as we are in combat.

I apologise. I was trying to reread the thread to catch up before posting, but I only got up to roughly where I was before I left. I'll post blindly. Please adjust to suit the circumstances.

Any other actions?

My hard drive has crashed. I had hoped to have the data restored to my new hard drive by now. Unfortunately, that is taking longer than I had hoped.

Ack! I'm sorry to hear that, DD.

Still working on restoring my files. On attempt four now right now.

I have started attempt five to restore my files.

Uh oh.

The fifth attempt to restore my files failed too. I have now turned the harddrive in for professional help.

I got my hard drive back. And it seems that everything important is there, not that I can say that for sure when that includes all my creative writing for the past 20-30 years. But for this campaign, it appears to be so.

Yikes, decades of writing? I hope you get it all back, DD.

Thanks.

Decades is a lot of work to lose!

That is true. Fortunately, it seems that nothing was lost. Not that I can know that for sure.

How are things going?

I'm doing okay. I've been avoiding RPOL a little bit, which is why I've been lagging.

Roisin is going to need closer to two hours before all her ER is back, but it returns even if she doesn't rest. It just takes time.

Let's take two hours, then, and then resume exploration.

Certainly. Where do you want to rest?

Let's go into the SW guard room to rest.

Sorry everyone, I work in healthcare and things are hectic to say the least.

Oh, wow. Yes, I can imagine so, Roisin.

How are things going for everyone?

I meant to post this yesterday but.... we're overrun and heavily overworked.

We're getting a lot of out of state people.

Good news is that in 2 weeks I will have a week off (may 10th) to rest.

Then 5 weeks of furlough (3 in june and 2 in october) to follow up later.

My workload should diminish as I bring others on and up to speed, though I suspect they'll always bring me in if things degrade.

It's good to hear that things are moving in the right direction for you. I hope that things settle down soon.
