Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

[Old One]

No problems here...

For the latest updates, I give a hearty "Woot!!"

Glad to see you posting, Old One. I was thinking about you and yours during the hurricane. Hope you came through it ok.

Rel,

Thanks for thinking of us. How did you make out in Raleigh? We had a very brief (1-2 minute) power outage and a teensy bit of water leakage into the basement. That was about it...had some neighbors with trees down, but our immediate area was spared the worst.

Me and the Mrs. were actually out in Las Vegas for a friend's suprise 40th birthday party...it was fun and we broke even gambling!

Can't wait for the vengeance to fall upon the Shadowblades !

Also really enjoyed Q.'s journal. I'd forgotten about Abigail.

"I can't complain but sometimes I still do."

We're fine. Wife and daughter are safe and that's all that really matters. In terms of annoyance, I have a bit of a tree on my house as of right now. 12 inch diameter pine to be exact. We lucked out though. It took a smaller oak tree out on the way down, which slowed it enough that it didn't punch a hole in my roof. It damaged the roof of my shed and tore up a few shingles. It also missed the kitchen skylight by about 2 feet so we got lucky there too.

It's going to be tricky getting it down from there the way it is hovering over my deck. The guy from the insurance company is due out tomorrow so I've left it where it lay. I'll probably chainsaw it up on Saturday with a little help from Speaks With Stone.

Hope you had a blast in Vegas. I too walked away from there even, but just barely.

Careful with fallen trees... Even cracked they may retain a horrible strong tension... Got nearly knocked out once when I was younger by a tree when my brother tried to move it a little bit and it suddenly snapped up...

Glad to hear everyone is fine.

Old One: You did have to start with another cliffhanger, eh ?

Old One, I just wanted to say, even though belated, congrats on the little tyke. He looks wonderful. I am glad to see the story is still going. All is well here. I rarely check EN World anymore, but I will keep up with Faded Glory.

Rel,

Glad to hear all is well. I just talked to a friend of mine from Richmond and they still don't have power...not expected until Sunday night ! Make sure you wear your eyeguards...safety first !

Why would I do anything else?

Darklone,

You should know better than to ask...cliffhangers are what I live for !

WSmith,

What's up? How is S. Jersey treating you? Did you make it to ShoreCon? Is that 1st Edition website yours? Pretty snazzy!

Thanks for checking in and maybe we can grab an ale some day in my numerous East Coast travel!

You know, I tried it with my group, but they got problems at work cause they couldn't think about anything else...

At least they will stay focused on the campaign !

The next update should be posted tomorrow (Mon in U.S.)...stay tuned for some amazing (and foolhardy) heroics by Quintus the Sorcerer and more pits...
