So... I've three of six players who have posted and one who I posted for. That means that I'm good to move things forward but for one thing: direction.

Altaira, if you want to have Mags make a decision as to how to proceed, I'll move this game along. Knowing you're unfamiliar with rules-based games, I've sent you a PM to help you out in this area.

Welcome back, Altaira! Sorry to hear about the unexpected hospital visit but overjoyed that you've made it back to us!


Duncan! Dude! Doooooooo it!!!

Ok, got a post up. I will backpost to Hammer, if need be, when he posts.

I'm still trying to get a handle on this type of thing, hopefully I'll figure it out one day.

Thanks for the welcome back. I'll try to keep up.

I hate to just show up and delay, but as of today my work schedule has changed a bit. I will be working nine-hour shifts Monday through Thursday and a four-hour shift on Fridays. So, I am gonna have to shift extracurricular activities to mainly Friday through Sunday, so it'll probably be Friday evening before I can get anything up. I need to read up on the Q & A and get up to speed as well.

Many humble apologies, but I will join the voyage Friday.

Thank you for the post!

Duncan, you're good. I'll look forward to your participation.

Hmmm I thought an update was coming soon.

Hey again all. Well, as seems to happen every dang time I get ready to join a game or try to have any other commitment, real life has reared its ugly head. I don't want to hold any of the game up, so just carry on.

Adulting sucks. That is all. I'll still lurk and enjoy everyone's writing when I can.

I completely understand, Duncan. We'll keep a lookout for your dingy... I'm referring to the life raft. Sheeze!

Hammer has informed me that he is no longer playing as well due to RL. I've not heard from Elious in some time so I'm going to assume that he, too, is no longer a part of the game. The crew is shrinking...

I'll think on what I wish to do with those characters. I can easily write Blackheart out. His leg just makes him unfit. Sharky might turn into an NPC for the time being. I'll have to see.

I hope to have time today to update the game. Sorry for the delays.

The game is afoot... or is that a leg? Maybe just the thigh?

I'll get Cracker updated on Saturday.

...and busy morning at work.

Will do my best to post for Fin, today!

I am currently traveling for work. Have not abandoned you all.

Please don't forget us; I have abandonment issues.

... My apologies for the delay. Looooooooooooooong week and busy weekend.

...as there's really not much else Fin can do but wait and watch at this point.

As noted in post, he'll be keeping his senses peeled for Kidane (and/or any possible minions/cohorts) but, per his position as quartermaster, will, also be low-key listening for any intel of use.

Also, should he happen to spy any hint of a slaver's mark on the barefoot, shaven-headed serving girl, he's like to form a fairly sour opinion of the establishment... and perhaps turn a thing or two to his advantage... *scheme, scheme, scheme*
