Just waiting on Raknesh, but I'll post tomorrow regardless. Feel free to play catch up, Raknesh, if you don't make it before then, and just roll two rounds worth of damage or whatever the case may be.

Ok! Sorry for the delay and if I missed anything/anyone important. My schedule is nuts lately. School started last week and I already completed two classes. That's supposedly 3 months of work crammed into 7 days, so needless to say I don't have a lot of free time these days. So thanks in advance for your patience. I'm hoping to whip through this thing as fast as humanly possible and then get back to my old schedule of twice a week once I graduate.

That'll be a big Yikes from me, and a stack of Kudos.

Thank you! It's been awful!

Speaking of awful, my next 3 classes are all spreadsheets and algebra and accounting and things that make me want to shrivel up and die. I've canceled a lot of my real life stuff for the next week or two so I can try to bust through this but it's been really hard because math is not my thing. Luckily my husband has been helping me, but I expect to be walking through pure and utter hell til they are done. So I'm unable to post for the next week or two but after that I should be good to resume. I'm so sorry guys. Even my husband thinks these classes are ridiculous and he's a whiz at them.

Just have to finish my finance class (it's the worst of all of them) and then I can hopefully get back to posting once a week. In the meantime, I am throwing you a post today. Sorry if it's rushed and hopefully I didn't miss anything! Thanks for your patience!

The goal is for me to probably start posting Saturday nights for a bit. Seems to be when I'll have the most time! I'm making good progress through the courses though. My awful accounting classes seem to be behind me for now, so ideally I'll start doing weekly posts and in a couple months I can hopefully pick up the pace again. Yay!

He was so distracted by holding up the act that he forgot Nylok fled already and would not be here to kill Stalten. As brutal as Prizzard often is, he's not at all a fan of unnecessary suffering or death. Feel free to ask questions!

Such as why he doesn't flee a stranger blocking his path. Well for a long time it was most likely somebody after his bounty and prepared to deal with some of his known tricks. It's often a kill or be killed existence. Stalten didn't provide this excuse or any other.

I'm going to hope Prizzard fails his spot check on that scene, as hard as that would be. Killing guards to escape is understandable. Slaughter for slaughter sake, especially of the innocent? I'm pretty sure Prizzard isn't the only one who takes an issue with it, but he's just fool enough to fight the man. Perhaps even fool enough to attack with his scythe if the rapier isn't somewhere easy to reach.

I know we're trying to close up this scene, but I'm sure our goddess Artemis placed this situation here on purpose.

Same. Tanzy already doesn’t like Nylock and wouldn’t hesitate to take him out even if it put them in bad graces with the assassin lady (I’m drawing a blank on her name) Tanzy only has daggers but she’d still try to put a stop to it.

It's true it's more than just killing a guard to flee...

But there are two main questions to answer.

- would we be able to kill him without him doing the same for at least one of us?

- Do we have time do to so?

Raknesh doesn't like what he did, not at all, and, should the occasion present itself, he would fully agree to give the man the justice he deserve.

But now might not be the same.

So unless the others start to fight, he won't go after him.

I think Tanzy and Prizzard are blissfully unaware at the moment so unless someone brings it up Tanzy is heading for the nearest exit

Byron seems to catch a lot of bad luck. Who is your patron and how did you piss them off?

I did ask myself these rather important questions, and then I considered it from Prizzards perspective. He'll fight the man alone. He might even fight him bare-handed without magic. This bit of morality is supported by multiple previous traumas so if he believes he can win and escape if he doesn't, he'll get stupid before letting the innocents die.

An ArchFey and I have no idea what I did. LOL

Bryon, my new moral compass ^^

Lol freakin Bryon! :D

Shrug* I guess...

Sorry guys! Just sticking to my character here. Tanzy already feels bad about this little side quest she can’t ignore Nylock.

No worry, you two getting back was just the excuse Raknesh needed to go too despite it being most probably counterproductive to the mission.

Should have known it wouldn’t be as easy as just killing a regular guy! :O

Probably because we all came 😅

Sorry I've been MIA as of late. School is kicking my booty. That said, I'm kicking school's booty right back! I just have six classes left, 22 classes already completed. I am hoping to be done by mid July for good and then I'll be back to normal and freeeeeeeeeeee!!! I was going to post today but I ended up not feeling well, so I'm hoping to slip a post in sometime in the next few days. Thank you all for being so patient with me. I've had to put aside a lot of the things I love due to this whole endeavor, and I'm so looking forward to getting my life back again.

All of the best things suffer hiccups. If we're going to last like One Piece we can't let you get burned out on this. Take your time :)

Thank you so much for understanding everyone. Seriously. I'm closing in on things and then I'll be back to normal so I'm more than a little excited to have my life back.

Ok, I'm really really hoping to be graduated by July 19th. That's not long at all. Maybe sooner if I have my way. So if you are all good to be patient with me, I'm almost free and I can go back to posting regularly soon. I am beyond excited to get my life back. Seriously.

What are a few days or even weeks when we have played for so long?
