OOC: Within the game world, I suspect it's not possible for our characters to leave. What are the odds that we're NOT trapped in the tower by the containment field? But out of game, how long should we keep waiting before we ask Rae to have Thyrin ex machina us to safety? It's 10 days since ES was last here now, which isn't entirely impossible as a length of time to switch ISPs, if that is what is going on. Anyway, Rae's away for another week still, isn't he? I'm very reluctant to drop this game. It has been fun so far.
