Right. Computer functional. Internet working. Hard drive replaced, but I was able to back up most things. Outlook: cautiously optimistic.

ATM it's looking like we will be able to play this week. I lost a fair amount of work, but nothing I can't recreate. We had the good fortune of my machine getting scrambled at a time when your next step is kinda undetermined: presumably you will make plans based on what Kharis tell you, and what he tells you will depend on what you ask him.

So. Two ways this can go.

A) You post some questions (5 total remember) in the next couple of days, I post answers, you come up with a plan, and I make maps/npcs/encounters in accordance with that plan. Time is a factor here, since I need at least a day or two to make stuff, but we can probably manage.

B) If plan A fails (you want more time, I need more time, or you'd rather interrogate Kharis "live" than in the thread), I can instead plan some sort of sidequest (or who knows, just do a quick side campaign, maybe a pre-published adventure module with temporary characters) so we don't have to skip another week.

Your call.
