Absence

I may not be able to make the next session due to financial problems with my internet. This is a 50/50 chance but I wouldn't get my hopes up guys.

Maybe this is a bad time to remind you guys, but I'll be going up to Newcastle on the Friday coming and I am seriously doubting that parents will let me play pretend online while they're still around, and they'll be around 'till midday Sunday. I don't think I'll be able to make it either.

Thanks for letting us know, both of you. Has it been a month already since your last bill was due, Brandon? Man, seems more like half that time. Archie, I did recall that you weren't going to be able to make on one of these sessions, but forgot which one. Thanks again, guys!

Well, possibly the worst news thus far in our little adventures. I will probably not make any sessions at all until further notice as my PC is being taken away and my internet goes out on Thursday, sending me back to the dark ages and simulating what an insane asylum's padded room must be like. I will get my internet on first as soon as possible so I can still talk to any of you guys through Skype (Mine is senel206 in case you don't know it.) and you guys can still talk to me. I just won't make this week's session or the next, or the next, or the next, etc.. But I would like to stay within the group since this is an unseen circumstance that is completely out of my legal intentions and hands. So this might be the last time you hear from me but, I do understand if you wish to kick me from the group as I will not be a core player for some time to come of which I apologize for. Soo yea, see ya guys, have fun hacking up those goblins and orcs and dragons. And maybe dismember a few trolls for me in the process.

That sucks man. :-(

Good news! By some miracle, I'm able to attend tomorrow!

That sucks even worse. ;-)

Pssh. Did you really think you'd be killing anything without Rothuk?

Alright, yet again, I might not make it due to my internet. I need to replace it since it fell and now just shuts off at even the slightest touch. From its position, I cannot voice chat over Skype or TeamSpeak whatsoever. Soo yea...Good chance I won't be able to make it.

Oh dear, and I think Archie mentioned something about not being able to make it this Friday or next Friday, I'm not certain which however due to regional differences.

As always, thanks to everyone who gives us as advanced notice as possible for not being able to show. I'm a bit afraid about what to do in the current situation with Rothuk, though. Eyes poked out and wrestling a spellweight with the octobrain beginning its rampage . . . Scary situation.

I thought we had moved back to Saturday for some reason, if we haven't then I can still come!

Nope. We're still playing Friday night at 5 p.m., CDT.

Oh God, it's started raining now too. Now it's possibly a definite no that I'm gonna make it.

Give it a few light slams and see if that fixes anything?

So it appears that Brandon will not be joining us tomorrow or possibly even for awhile. He asked that I pass this onwards. [5:44:06 AM] A Wild Brandon: Hey chris. Can you tell the gang my 'nets out and wont be able to attend for an indefinite amount of time?

Alright, I'm back, guys! Should be able to attend from now on unless the same thing happens. Meaning the internet box falls from a 4-foot drop and basically goes ka-put.

Well that's good news then and settles that we will be doing the session on Friday. On the other hand, Brandon. . . we may have some bad news about Rothuk. . . He got elder thing poop in his eye holes. He may never feel clean again.

Lol, poor Rothuk. But I heard there's a new guy joining the party for the next dungeon and he's pretty attentive (and almost as macho as Rothuk), so he'll take good care of you.

So Rothuk is perma-blind and possibly dead? Alright. >.>

I made two death rolls for Roth, both successes (i.e., not 17-18). As I said before, in reference to your eyes, which were crippled the session before last, now that combat is over, when we play again, you'll need to make an easy HT roll for the duration of crippling injuries, p. B422: If you suffer a crippling injury, make a HT roll to see how serious it is. For battlefield injuries, roll at the end of combat. Success means the crippling is temporary, failure means it’s lasting, and critical failure means it’s permanent. Temporary Crippling: Until you are back at full HP, you suffer the disadvantages described under Effects of Crippling Injury, above. Once you are fully healed, these effects disappear. Just don't roll a 17 or 18! ;-)

ok heads up that i will be doing my final exame on dec 12th from 5:30 to 9:00 pm easten time. so i can not make it out that night or will just see the end lol but i can do it on the saterday dec 13th :) if that is an option :)

Thanks for letting us know in advance, Luke! We're approaching finals week. We'll keep that in mind going forward. I, too, am a student, as is Archie, and Chris tutors, so there's going to be some bumps on the horizon. Of course, there's also Christmas and New Years . . . I doubt we'll be playing on the 26th or the 2nd! That's two Fridays in a row. Ouch. Let's consider some make-up days somewhere in there. I'll make a thread.

what even happened yesterday the last thing I remember was taking a wait to shoot the headcrab when Kritty backstepped.

Archie, we're sorry we have to tell you this in such an indelicate manner, but Enarit's groin. . . Nothing happened to it. Once it became obvious you'd been up too late I skipped over you and the remaining one scurried away. The group decided to return to the entryway and they dragged Enarit along with them. For fun and profit of course. The downside is that there are now two highly stealthy skull spiders still lurking around in dark corners.

We had to retreat a bit to treat Kritty's arm before it was too late.

Looks like Brandon isn't going to be able to show up tomorrow and I'm feeling about as well as Stripe's Internet connection. Archie has also mentioned there might be. . . problems with tomorrow as well. I swear to god though, next week, if I have to, I'll fly out and duct tape you folks to your chairs until the dungeon is over. Either that or we'll need to hope we can schedule some make up sessions.

Luke has also stated that he won't be here. He has a final exam. I told him he should skip. :-( I am in Indiana so my Internet connection is tiptop. However, we might not be able to make a quorum if Brandon, Luke and Archie don't make it. Minimum is three players, and I'm not certain how wise it is to consider me one. We'll see.

I'm sorry to the be first one to not attend since we're started up again guys but I'm going to a family picnic today. :c

Your first absence, that I can recall. Thanks for letting us know! 

I may not be able to make next session as my internet goes out tomorrow, guys.

I'm sorry to hear that Brandon, but I'm not gonna count you out until it's game time. I've heard you say this before after all, and you've usually managed to get there. Anyhow, thanks for the heads up.

 Will not be able to make it due to a 24 hr flu fit. And I would like to give in advance the warning that my internet goes out in 4 days.

snap ... how will you live with out the internet? thats like cave man stuff o.O?!?! also i hope u get better mate i have bean fighting something as well ... >.> sence cristmass :P but flu is no fun rest mate and get better :)

Thanks for letting us know. 

Bad news. Internet got knocked out in snow. Gonna be out for a bit.

Won't be able to make the session as my family is forcing me to spend time with them. Also it's possible I will miss the session after this one due to my internet going out on the 28th.

:( snap those pesky parents and family lol :P be brave wild brandon be brave :P

That may mean we will have no session today :( Oh well, it's not your fault.

Sister is having a leaving party Saturday and I'd hoped to be able to get back to the computer Sunday but I don't think that I'll be able to since there's no buses making the route over the weekend. I'd feel pretty bad shutting myself away down there Sunday evening since I don't get to see that half of the family often either. I'll bring the mac along just in case people have made plans to go to the cinema or something, but I wouldn't have a decent microphone with me. Sucks since this is the session that you'd need the walking bandaid most, but maybe Chris can throw together a henchman cleric (if those exist), someone puppet Welet or maybe if Stripe's around then Rashi could appear from the shadows and offer his assistance once more. Sorry for the short notice, I was only made aware yesterday night after I walked down there to talk with them (6 1/2 hours, 15 miles)-- honestly I thought that it was in a week's time :X I meant to make a post this morning but had to leave and only just got back.

After Brexit, 100% of our British players didn't show up for the next game. Thanks, PM Cameron. 

Stripe said: After Brexit, 100% of our British players didn't show up for the next game. Thanks, PM Cameron.  I also blame Brexit for Sarman's petrification...

Shhh, Stone doesn't talk.

dude famly is family and these things happen lol :P dont sweet it :D

In lieu of creating another thread about it, posting to tell everyone that my laptop charger stopped working this morning. Opening it up to see if ti was a fuse or something easily replaceable but I may well not be able to make it today. Probably a good thing, knowing my rolls. I'll ask Mark the critmaster to roll for my crippled limbs, if he's there. Have a good game, folks!

Drat! Sorry to hear that. Hope you'll find a way especially since we'll probably be entering a new dungeon.
