Err... I'm not sure where to begin here. I guess I should start by apologizing for my rather sudden and unannounced drop off the face of the Earth. I am sorry about not giving anyone a heads up about that- some stuff came up and side-tracked me from the site, but I really should have given the courtesy of a warning. That said... Is Ealdwine dead? I'm presently reading the posts I missed in the IC, and it doesn't seem certain that he's out of commission. If he is, I'd be glad to roll up a new character- if you all don't mind. Or, if he's not, I'd be happy for him to have passed out from a combination of injury and hunger, or somesuch. Oh wait, the tavern collapsed. Never mind. The bard has almost certainly checked out.
