CB's The Sunless Citadel v3.5 OOC

[hafrogman]

I'm obviously not as around as much as in the past. I'd still like to keep going, and since it seems everyone else is in on it. I might be a little more laid back for a while. Perhaps a more relaxed approach to the game will suit everyone's needs.

Happy Passover, Strahd!

hafrogman, good to hear from you. Post when you can. I'll NPC anyone I need to, should need present itself.

I just got done reading all 435 OotS comic strips over a period of three weeks.

Boddynock, is your PC in this game named after Elan?

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Mmmm...Elyan on a stick.

Oops, missed this one.

Nope, Elyan is in no way based on Elan!!!

Cheers!

Don't forget my Diehard feat.

I just wanted to say thank you for this. It's incredibly helpful to see numbers included in your combat posts, and you're quite right to remind me of any feats (or spell effects) that need to be remembered. Thanks! When you include information like this, it really helps me out.

XP for defeating Calcryx has been awarded and sent via e-mail.

Well done!

Hey, my grandmother may pass away today or tomorrow. Or not, God willing. She's very old, has alzheimers, and is in the hospital with pneumonia...her veins collapsed so no IV is being administered, she's unconscious...that kind of thing.

Just a head's up, I may be away from the game for a while in order to fly home to the mainland to be with family. If so, I will pop in before leaving to drop a line to let you all know.

Then again, who knows? Gma could linger for quite a while longer.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your grandma, CB.

It's always so hard sitting with someone we love who is dying, knowing that there's nothing we can do. It's perhaps even harder to be far away, without even the comfort of closeness. God's compassion enfolds and surrounds us. In the end that is more real than anything else. And in the end all the grief and pain is transformed by that loving embrace.

Take as much time as you need. We'll be here when you get back.

Thank you, Nock. I have a whole storehouse of happy memories of time spent with my grandmother, so I'm happy to have that, and happy to have prayer as well. To be honest about things, I'm not sure if I would enjoy seeing my Grandmother in her current state. She has a living will that limits what the staff can do for her to only supplying pain medication via an oral dropper, one drop at a time. My mum was in Virginia this week to see Grandma and to help out Grandfather. While I might have liked to have been able to be part of the family gathering this past week, I'm not sure what good I would have been what with having my four small kids in tow. I pray several times a day for Grandma to have an easy passing, one as suffering and pain-free as is possible. I put my grandparents and mother on my church's prayer chain. I will go for the memorial service and will probably stay at least a week after that to help out my Grandfather. Not sure when that will be, but from the look of things, it seems to be not too distant in the future. I'm hoping that my Grandfather rebounds well during the aftermath. He was quite active in the community before becoming Grandma's primary caretaker this past year; I'm hopeful he will return to his former beloved activities after she dies. He's involved with Habitat for Humanity.
