Alright. Sorry for the long absence. My work is deciding that hte holidays is the perfect time to dump 1000 things on my plate so apologies for lack of posting between now and end of the year. January should come with new energy and new life and resume frequent posting again but for now just expect to be a slower schedule, apologies in advance.

No worries. Slow works for me at the moment. Wife had surgery Friday and is just now more herself. Giving my last 2 finals today with grades due next week. And my family is wanting to know if we'll make the family Christmas gathering marathon...

Regardless, Happy Holidays to you all.

Deepest apologies it appears I have come down with some illness. I think it is just a minor cold but it is enough to sap me of all my energy this week. Hopefully a few nights rest will get the creative juices flowing again.

map is updated

Feel better soon

Happy New Year everyone!   :)

Sorry I've been a wet sock lately. I'm kind of intimidated by how behind I am and I don't know how Yry would handle things like castle management/politics and stuff.

In reply to Yry Sweetwater (msg # 975):

It’s okay Yry, just ignore that stuff if it’s too much for you and jump in on the present scene with the secret door. Don’t worry about what’s already happened, reamember the lesson of Wayne’s World… “live in the now!”    :)

Hello! Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a nice break and I hope you are all looking forward to resuming a more regular posting schedule!

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 977):

Sir! Yes, Sir!  :)

Probably. haha

Also, almost time for a new OOC thread.

Meh. Does anyone really plan to archive the OOC thread?

You don't really need to make a new one, the only thing that you lose when you go past 1000 is the ability to view it all at once. It still works normally. Right?

But you would want to be able to view all of the posts at once because it gives you the opportunity to search the entire thread for a keyword.

So my son has tested positive for COVID this morning. He woke up in the middle of the night last night with a fever and sore throat. My wife and I are negative- we've had the booster but our son is too young to get it yet. I don't know what this is going to do to my time to post since my wife is supposed to start teaching tomorrow and I start next Tuesday, but I'll try to keep checking in.

In reply to Alyssa Tealeaf (msg # 983):

Blessings, healing, and a swift recovery for your little one, and protection for you and your wife. I had it back in Oct. even though fully vaxed. Definitely not fun. </hugs to all>

Okay, Angel hung back to talk privately to Pinna (we've been doing that in the PMs), and I had assumed that the others went on to do the current exploring without us. However, the lastest DM update implies that Pinna (and thus Angel too) is currently with the party when they encounter the crypt room.

DM, can you clarify what is what, please and thank you?

Yeah you're with the main group. I had assumed that was all happening while the others were dealing with the giant treasure chests earlier.

poke poke. What's up guys?

Waiting on the others…

Apologies. Got distracted by Lunar New Year. Still distracted. I will reply within the next day I hope!

Yeah, RL kicked in hard this week. Level 3 winter storm. Major leak in the University Gallery that I'm in charge of now...

Hope to get something IC up this weekend.

Oop, I hope we didn't move past the DM there, kinda left that phantom in the dust, lol.
