Hello all,

I am so sorry for the vanishing. Ever since I returned from vacation my grandmother (98 & lives with me) had taken a pretty bad turn for the worse. Recently I've had to be up most of the night with her. There isn't much time left now though; she's sleeping all the time and I only have to keep up her pain meds. She doesn't wake so I can start sleeping again too. I'm even going back to work starting Friday to get back into a normal routine again.

I hope people are still here. Everything suffered during this time and I'm just now trying to get back on track and recover a bit. I will do what I can to update everything this week. Again I really apologize for letting this slip so badly. I may be slow but I don't normally vanish like this, life just really hit hard.

Just letting people know that I am also starting to consider my own rp and I have been writing up a draft for it. XD

I'll let y'all know when it goes up so y'all can check it out!

though fair warning, it will probably move a bit faster than this one

Hey all!

So its been hell in my life this past month and a half. I am sorry to stay away so long; I just haven't been emotionally and physically up to playing. Seems like much is getting better. I don't know if I have to catch up or not on posts but I'll be posting this weekend.

thanks Jollan

(canned post following)

Hello,

I am sorry to disappear again as soon as I returned before. My real life has been draining, emotionally and physically as my grandmother passed, my business was under destruction by a fraudulent con man who was in theory supposed to buy it and instead defrauded a bunch of my clients and I am still digging out from under it (with the aid of lawyers, the IRS, the police, and the FBI) but what he left behind was to the effect that my business is basically worthless now though I still have to work my tail off for it, and the stress of it all made me drop dead begging for someone to kill me sick. I was hoping to be back earlier this week but I am still physically drained and sleep claims me earlier than usual these days. It is my sincerest hope that I shall have a post up this weekend. I thank all of you for bearing with me and I apologize for my lack of communication.

I will be posting IC very shortly. Sorry for the delay. I would like to point out a few new/old things...

1.) I added A LOT of new info into the first post in the "characters" tab as I updated it with all kinds of stuff. Skills, equipment, and currency are perhaps the most useful new hiders.
2.) We have limited supplies/equipment; please do not pull random stuff out of thin air. Be aware of what we have available to us, and if something more is needed remember it and try to steal, buy, barter, etc for it whenever you next get the chance. Till then get creative. The only equipment you should keep on your character sheet are special unique items (Argurios' leatherworking tools, Aiden's survival kit, Brisa's spell books, etc) or weapons. Basic supplies such as clothing, backpacks, food, etc you don't need to keep updated on your character sheet; i'll keep a tally in the equipment/supplies hider. Until we have to go a long time without easily accessible food I will not bother to keep track of that; it will be assumed that we forage (hunt, fish, etc) food as we go and supplement with assorted trail rations we pick up as we travel.
3.) We are very young with limited skills: many times in many past posts (including my own) I have caught effective/trained use of skills not known or learned by our characters. I read back through everything and created an updated skill list based on actions and readings; but we need to curtail the random knowledge. It would be a good idea to bring your characters sheet up to date with your new range of skills listed at your earliest convenience. Teachers, trial and error, and observation are important; new skills should be knowingly developed before they can be reliably used and its actually kinda a big deal to develop one; make it so. Trial and error will be particularly important to us; its a great way to learn. Start paying attention to what you can actually do/have the skills to do in any effective manner. Use of skills you don't actually possess or untrained abilities will at best fail you completely and at worst start causing more harm than good; the effects of which will be discovered in the GM's posts which while we might find it briefly kinda fun I still don't want to have to do. Remember the obvious way of doing something may not be the best way, or even possible. Once again I will say be creative. If there is something you particularly want to learn figure out how to have your character learn it (start practicing it, observe others using the skill, ask another party member if they happen to know it, whatever) and work its development into the story. You can see I've been working on Brisa learning the Chultean language and just started her on another more mage-y study as well. The more you use a skill the better you get at it too so Aiden and Argurios will get better at using their chosen weapons the more they do so. Teachers might teach you any variety of things; maybe not even things you had planned on learning; but considering our situation any skill should be considered valuable. Who knows when it will be vital in the future.
4) aiden: going over old posts (from starlit palace & here) I realized you have in your inventory 2 stone carvings; those were originally two different descriptions of the same carving so I re-combined it to a single item on the equipment list I just made since they haven't really come into effect yet.
