[QUOTE="Tonks, post: 3041330, member: 42402"] [sblock=Apology]Once again I want to apologize for the delay, I had hoped to have everyone well into the adventure by this point in things. For your patience and the good RP everyone has done with the set-up, pencil yourselves in for 300 XP. Maybe that will help me slide back into the good graces of everyone..:)[/sblock] A well dressed half-orc stands up as you all near the table.
