Hooray for losing a whole slew of posts! Hooray! (Actually, it's pretty sad just how little was really lost.)
Checked google, was able to get the last page of the thread from the cache. I'm glad about that, because it means I've recovered all of the farewells you guys gave to Shavah -- really, the would have been a big shame to have lost. Not happy about losing Cylantro's intro, but at least it's fresh enough in memory to reconstruct.
Fortunately, I just got around to actually keeping a copy of the XP saved to my computer, so that isn't lost.
I think I'll go ahead and start a new chapter, bump forward to the next morning. That will leave Chapter IV rather short, sure, but, well, so it goes.
