Subject: Yo
I feel like I owe you guys an update, as I haven't posted in a while.
First off apologies to those that have PMed me. I rarely log in so I'm pretty far behind in answering them. That said when I do read them they are quite welcome, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't review that video from last Christmas every once in a while to boost my spirit.
I really appreciate the well wishes beyond the ability to express it and wish I was more diligent in replying, which leads me to my recovery update. In terms of "treatment" I'm done the slate. 3 months of chemo, 6 surgeries and 8 months of movement recovery therapy. 90% of movement is recovered, though I've still lost quite a bit of muscle but thats more a function of time than anything.
The two major hurdles (and reason I'm not on the inn or computers in general) are my left hand and pain management. My left hand is to be blunt, extremely dumb, and while recovery of that is steady, it is slow. Which means my typing is slow. Painfully slow. This post is taking forever. The pain is largely due to massive amounts of nerve damage and muscle recovery but that's not as much an issue for me. No pain, no gain and I've gained a quite a bit considering Nov 22nd was literally the one-year anniversary of my death.
Anyway, this is my attempt to make up for a lack of activity by dumping a huge pile of text here. I sincerely miss you guys and I'll try to be around more regularly in the new year.
I hope everything is going well for everyone, and if you're looking to get in contact with me shoot me a PM, I promise I'll check them more and work it out.
Keep at it, every time I read your guys' work I get that much more inspired to get back to posting shape.
Thanks again, much love.

Subject: I hate one handed typing
Just stopping in to say hello and thanks for all the well wishes and support you guts have given me. 103 days in a hospital bed down and a long road to recovery ahead but at the very least I'm in my own bed and not eating hospital food.
Thanks so much to everyone for their supportive messages, the innmates who added to the video that was worth exceeding my data plan to watch and Olan and Roger for relaying my texts to you guys. Don't know when I'll be back here full time but I missed you guys and you're great motivation for recovery.
Until I get back; keep on rollin'

Damn right it's a post. A lonely post though.
For reference, if the group doesn't have much to do, this situation being a fairly prime example, and you're all doing roughly the same thing, it's not imperative to post to the game unless you feel like it.
If everyone wants to just go to Mal, a simple Q&A post to that effect will allow me to progress the story.
That said, I do love posts.
Posts, posts, posts.

First post in a while is up, getting us rolling again. Gave you some more info so a proper plan can get put together, and updated the first page of the Q&A with new rumour and NPC info!
Questions go here, or in PMs, or in chat. AND THEN THE POSTS COME.
Make sense?

Topic: Fortune's Favoured: Revenge of the Revenge of the Game
Subject: asdf
Morning, The Bearded Dragon, Schell
"So,just gonna sit there,or do you want a drink?"
The words seemed to have echoed within the musty confines of the Bearded Dragon's tavern hall for what seemed like forever, and Argos eyes lit up as a few of the Favoured answered in the affirmative. It seemed he'd briefly giving up on them ever saying anything again, and was pleasantly surprised when they all chimed up at once after what must have felt as if it were an eternity of silence. As the large hairy man busied himself pouring mugs and preparing breakfast, (doubly so after taking a moment to see exactly how much gold Tristan's overly generous gratuity truly consisted of), the Favoured returned to the matter at hand.
As seemed to almost be the custom in their short time together, the conversation quickly shifted to the relative merits of death glares versus taking the gold and running. Tristan, having spent much of the previous night's adventure investigating the path to the great beyond, seemed particularly hesitant, almost immediately advocating a swift departure from Schell before he found himself facing any sort of "death glare" as had previously been described to him by so many superstitious villagers. Calopee was quick to support his proposal, though she seemed more confident in their chances in a fight, given the body count her rocks accumulated while Tristan had been laid low. The relative silence of Relos and Malachi seemed to provide a quiet acquiescence as no other plan was brought forth, but the capricious Sehanine soon saw to changing that.
"You are both right, of course, it is perhaps best that we become a more..." a sly smile punctuated her pause and she ran a hand through her silver curls "...cohesive collective before facing unknown death glares. Yet we need not leave them to their fates. We have begun to train them to defend themselves. Let us give them the means and encouragement to deal with these threats themselves. Imagine how empowered they will feel then."
Now if there was one feat the Favoured in their brief time together had managed to perform consistently, it would most certainly have been their knack for being wholly inconsistent. This however, would prove a new record for turnabout as they weighed the elf's words carefully. Their brief work together had found them success, but success was fleeting, and perhaps by the time their "team-building" was finished success could have already passed them by. Tristan, an adherent of chance, seemed to realise that the quickest, as his voice was the first to follow Sehanine's.
"On the other hand, we have little in the way of prospects. We've no contacts, moderate skill, only one lead, minimal reputation, and that only locally. Lucrative jobs don't just roll down from the mountains." His grin already an indicator to some of what he'd say next.
"That one lead though. This Jaron apparently leads a number of men. His influence may perhaps be felt in a number of villages and towns near by, and if he leads a crew of bandits, he is certainly possesses some sort of fortune. A fortune I'd favor more if it were ours. Clearing out a bandit lord, why, that's just the sort of reputation boost a group like ours desperately needs. And as for this 'death glare' I spoke of...Remember how very reliable the good townsfolk were when informing us of those sand-dwelling followers of Sartyria? No, I don't think stray rumors around this particular town should be so quick to scare us off of such a grand opportunity."
The words in the air, though the silence was broken far quicker as Calopee began an admittedly rough plan of an ambush. For all their failures the night before, the presence of the halfling concealed within the fields had proved a positive event, and confronting this Jaron under similar circumstances with a slightly improved battle plan could prove an advantage. Sehanine seemed to add her quiet assent, though as much as Tristan's grin, Sehanine's agreement could often be taken as an ominous sign.
Malachi, fresh off a hangover that would be spoken of in bards' tales were they to hear of it, seemed quickly aboard, thinking seemingly of the accolades to be gained from a coup such as the disposal of a local "bandit lord". His far less silent assent came in the form of a raucous call for inebriation, which sent Argos (himself suddenly a little taken by the revelry) sprinting to his kegs so quickly he tripped over a stool and utterly demolished a second as his large form crashed through it. While the unexpected clatter briefly drew the group's focus, Relos drew their attention back with his long awaited input.
I've listened to a few ideas bouncing around this table, and I for one am not too keen on leaving this village to up and fend for itself. We rattled the cage when we put down so many of Jaron's men and it should be us to clean up what we started. Now, I'm not advocating for a swords out run in smash attack, but I'm absolutely not going to let these men get coaxed into attacking a fortress either. Relos nodded in Calopee's direction, agreeing with her comments.
I'm more akin to her ideas, rooting out what outlying groups may be branched from Jaron himself. Bring low those and maybe we can get the beast to rear its head.
Relos' words were predictable, a man of his order was somewhat bound to that opinion, but his connection was somewhat more personal. He'd spent his time with the men of the militia, and the rest of the group had not failed to notice that more than a few of the villagers were carrying weaponry Relos had originally possessed. It seemed unlikely he'd shift his position but before they'd a chance to argue Argos returned, bringing with him Mal's order of beer and causing a brief break in discussion. Without so much as an invitation their host pulled a chair over and sat alongside the group, seemingly seeking to add his own opinion.
"Did I hear right, y'er looking to find Jaron then?", he paused to take a swig of his own drink, "This'd be the time then, after what you lot did last night anyway. Jaron's known in the land but more for his cruelty than manpower...I reckon that was a good part of his men."
Argos paused again as he upended his mug, seemingly emptying it as the froth from his drink flowed from the corner of his mouth and into bushy beard. The group sat in part disgust, part rapt attention as the robust man finally finished with a satisfied sigh, and his incredulous stare as he looked back at the group betrayed the fact that he'd briefly forgotten what he was talking about. A moment of awkward silence followed as the Favoured could almost hear the gears turning in the innkeeper's head before he remembered the topic of conversation and resumed dispensing what information he knew.
"I don't know about the townfolk's thoughts m'self, though I doubt they're ready for much even with yer help.", he nodded at Mal and Relos, "Though from what I hear the man in charge of the villagers you spoke to earlier is Tomas...he'll be the one you want to talk to about such matters, done some time huntin' out in the wilderness, knows the land and where you'll need to go."
Argos rose with a speed that belied his size, gathering any empty dishes in his enormous hands. "Shouldn't be too hard to find Tomas,", his gaze focused on Relos with a toothy grin, "...he's the one carrying your sword."

It took literally seconds from a plan being heard in character for someone to plan their contingency while they leave everyone else to die.

Alrighty, so we've got one in game post and a little discussion here. Anything I can do to get us rolling? I can drop a summarising DM post this weekend but still need more of a general consensus from the group.
I missed you guys.

Alrighty, so everyone has responded positively, which I'm pretty positive is a positive thing.
So with that in mind, we can continue right where we left off. I'll get a quick reread just to see exactly where we are and get an update up to progress us a little, though if I remember I'm waiting on a decision from you guys.
So in the meantime, any questions, concerns, ointments?
Ointments?

Subject: It's About Time
Hi. I'm Grugg. I'm not actually new here. I am coming or going though, so that's why I posted here. I didn't have to explain that, you're intelligent enough to understand that on your own. I always believed in you.
It's been a rough...8 months...or so? I've dealt with some setbacks, personal and professional, as well as a completely failed laptop and uncertain living situations. Now I hear what you're saying, this has happened before. It turns out I might be pretty bad at this staying stable thing, but heck, what is more noble, to be steady from the get-go or to overcome one's transient flaky nature through hard work. Don't actually answer that.
Anyway, I'm back, and after a faith affirming weekend for actual tabletop gaming and the subsequent arrival (finally) of a new laptop, I'm in tip top shape to resume any and all D&D-based activities.
Apologies to my players and GMs for my absence, especially Alacrity and my players in Fortune's Favoured, who I feel I especially let down. I do hope we can resume as best we can in as many situations as possible.
Also I wrote a staff blog, up there in the top right, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, as my life is stable, and I do stable things, like posting on this website, stably.
So hello again to new and old faces, looking forward to getting back into gaming with you all.
