[quote=@Arkitekt] yes. I am still here. I just read you're post. I haven't heard from a lot of people so I was trying to decide on how to proceed. I could write in a few deaths, but it looks like you're about to off someone as well? I was hoping to hear from a few players but it's been really quiet. [/quote] Haha, well I doubt [@Fetzen] is ready to part with Vodilic so quickly, so it's unlikely that there will be a scene of Prudence stabbing his character to death anytime soon. After all, we're at a feast, not a wedding. Maybe after their first score. :P It actually seems like we're only down two of our crew. They've both been pretty silent on this website in whole for the last month, so I figure that's unlikely to change. Still, since it's so early on in the story we don't really need to kill off their characters. I'd suggest shoving them to the side and maybe tossing out a fresh Interest Check to fill their spots if you think we need more folks, although 5 isn't a bad group size. Their characters could just refuse whatever the King's offer is off-screen, or we could keep them as minor NPCs and try and reach out to our missing friends in hopes of bringing them back. Either way, looks like most of us are totally still down, so unless someone wants to put in another post before the King kicks off the plot I think we can just proceed with that.
