Ask and you shall receive.

[remetagross]

There we go :D

[remetagross]

Happy new year, mates :)

[Metastachydium]

Happy new year!

[remetagross]

Hey guys, do you read the Order of the Stick?

Man, that last strip

[Metastachydium]

Oh, please. 'tis but a flesh wound giant angry Evil dragon the Epic-level character is visibly afraid of! Nothing to worry about there!

[remetagross]

Yeah, pretty much. Nothing our characters would have been afraid of, though but I'm wondering how damaged they are going to get out of that encounter.

[Metastachydium]

Sorry for any and all delays, folks! The Forums are a pain lately, in terms of reaction speed..

I know someone would probably grumble about how it must somehow be Myriad's fault, though.

but I'm wondering how damaged they are going to get out of that encounter.

I1m guessing "quite", but unlike some, I expect no casualties.

Finally managed to get in contact with Biscuit. They've had to shift apartments more than once since the tree incident, and haven't had wifi since you can't register internet service here except for the address where you have residency registration paperwork for. Which they don't have because they are still operating under the old lease with the old address. With the holidays having most places closed, the weather preventing easy access, and the constant shifting, making her way to somewhere with wifi has apparently been rough. They're in their new official apartment this week though, and will have their paperwork and wifi situation rectified soonish.

I've also been slacking on my post rates, but I have no excuse except that annual December/January 'meh' feeling. I can only blame the holiday slump and apologize. My bad.

[Metastachydium]

…and there's definitely a reason why if offered the power of reading minds, Delja would start running the other way fast. Myriad continues to be worth her weight in silver keys.

Do give her my "I wish thee strength"-s!

I can't help but imagine Delja getting telepathy against her will and immediately deciding to use daggers as Q-tips to 'make it stop, make it stop!'. lol

[remetagross]

There's definitive potential for quite a bit of goofy RP there :D

Glad to hear Biscuit's progressively getting past the tree incident and its consequences. Thor was right, beware the trees!

Well. What did you think those 40 nonmagical Medium daggers in her Bag of Holding were for?

[Metastachydium]

(Mostly waiting on Myriad to report her findings, by the way.)

[remetagross]

Same stuff here. That chair's damn comfortable, there's no way Ux is moving his butt unless Myriad tells him there's a Baleful Polymorph trap under the pillow. And even then.

[remetagross]

Alright mates I'm going to be away from any sort of computer for ten days or so. I'll be back by the 27th. Be good while I'm gone, kids, and try to post a message or two

[remetagross]

I'm back, folks!

...though it appears I'm the only one around. C'mon, we don't want that nice PbP of ours dying out, do we?

Not at all and absolutely not at all! I was merely hoping your time off might give Geek and Biscuit some time to catch up, especially since the team's current assignment (covertly gathering intelligence) is really where Myriad would shine the brightest and Azlin could, in the meantime wonderfully complicate the whole thing by way of meddling with the Dustpeople.

[Geeksthenewsexy]

I really have no excuse. I should have been sucking it up and just posting, but I let my pessimistic half hold me back.

Between the lag time that I have when loading any GitPG page, my laptop constantly overheating and only recognizing that it even has a wireless network adapter some of the time, and 1/2 the time I get an error when I tri to post here, and the fact that posting from my phone is an exercise in frustration, posting on GitPG at all has just been such a hassle, I've kept putting it off with cheap excuses like "Maybe the lag will be better tomorrow"...but it never is.

[Geeksthenewsexy]

Just to illustrate my point, take a look at the website when trying to post from my point of view:



This is my view when I try to post. I have no idea what sort of roach-infested Frankenstein amalgamation of rusty wires and chewing gum GitPG uses as servers to maintain its infrastructure, but the fact that this is my view when posting now (no toolbar whatsoever, so everything must be HTML coded by hand) and the fact that I have to reload a dozen or so times before I'm even given that opportunity is why I don't join games on GitPG anymore and use websites that actually work.

[remetagross]

Woah mate, this is dreadful. Have you tried changing the forum settings? Or contacting the support to explain that?

I'm glad you got a post in all the same :)

Does the field also turn a light blue when you click on it to write? I get that one every now and then when things are very slow, but it tends to get better in time.

Also, that's a lot of very good excuses, actually! Thanks for sticking with us, despite the difficulties!

[chaincomplex]

Sorry about disappearing. Posting was a bit slow so I took the time to disconnect from the world and work on the first step of my dissertation. Hopefully by this time next year I'll be a doctor.

Uh, give me a day or three to get my bearings.

[Metastachydium]

Neat! I bid thee swift progress with the doctoral stuff, and thanks for the update! Post as you can, I'm not going anywhere.

[remetagross]

Woah, good luck chaincomplex! Hat's off for having started to get it done.

When we began this adventure, almost two years ago, I was in the process of writing mine. Surfing on GitP was one of my main ways of procrastinating away from it :D

[Metastachydium]

The dragonborn raises an eyebrow.

RETURN of THE SON of THE VENGEFUL DRAGON EYEBROW!!

[remetagross]

I think Ux raising an eyebrow should have the same effect than a 20th-level CW Samurai unsheathing his katana. Everyone rolls against panic.

[Metastachydium]

Well, if "getting the hell away from there" is good enough to qualify, between the eyebrows and Myriad, poor Delja didn't even get a roll.

[remetagross]

I can't access my character sheet from work so I'll just roll the dice now and add my Sense Motive modifier later.

A 2? Oh, man. Ux Utanar will now think the little twit got infected with Myriad and just wants to get drunk or somesuch.
