3) Another player runs Vershab (any volunteers?)

My take: I can live with either option, with a preference for #1 or #3. I think #2 could work as well, but I think the group might suffer from the loss of arcane capability, and maybe even more importantly, Vershab's breadth of knowledge.
Until I know more about the amount of time I will have in the future, I don't want to force everyone to carry dead weight. If everyone is fine doing that (either botting or having someone else run Vershab) I will be thrilled, but I don't feel that he is "mine" in the sense that I should choose this. Should something (unfortunate?) happen to him, it won't prevent me from playing a PC like him in the future, so do what seems best to everyone, IMO.
