(Alev is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters.)I'd like to give some constructive criticism, if I can think of any... I like that you've finally started breaking up the posts a bit more to reflect the different situations. I think I've come to like how often the group splits off as well, even though it initially bugged me a little... But it still gets to be hard to follow. (maybe we actually need sub-threads for this game?)One "complaint," is that the game is a bit too combat-heavy... Not that combat is inherently bad or anything, nor am I calling this game hack-n-slash, I just find that it makes PbP really draggingly slow. IME, it's best to prune off everything but the most significant encounters that you'd find in a regular game. Not sure how anyone else feels about this, and it's by no means a gamebreaker for me, but it's worth considering.Also, re: Alicia's power level, I'd like to say that it doesn't bother me one way or the other if she doesn't balance well with the rest of the group -- Alev is someone I'd like to play as more of a supporting character, with occasional bouts of utility (you know, a rogue), anyway. However, I think it really falls onto the more battle-oriented characters' players to determine if she's "overpowered".Anyway, great to get back into the game, and don't worry about the lack of stuff to do for a while -- like I said, this game can get a bit overwhelming, so the break wasn't entirely unwelcome <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> And if it wasn't clear already from the subtext: I'm very impressed at how well you're running this game, especially (but not only) in light of the difficulties involved: A big party, a party that splits off frequently, a verbose group of players (great to have, as a DM, but hard to keep up with), and a combat-heavy storyline, all things that are difficult to manage, have been managed exceedingly well. Hats off.</blockquote>
