For this game, I'd like to fast forward through the current fight and then take a month-long break from the game at the point just before the PCs confront Eike. The current fight is only a random encounter, and the undead are not as tough an encounter as I was hoping for.
Once I'm feeling recharged enough to continue, the game will restart with the PCs confronting Eike. After that encounter, I'll want to fast forward them back to Carnell. At that point, Caerth will exit the game.
