Thanks for the clarification, Kajamba Lion.
In case Broccli_Head was asking about the characters, however, I'll say a few words.
The dwarves disappeared in the warehouse when the assassin-beast was killed in a death-related reality shift. The fabric of the Dream ripped open to swallow the body of the assassin and got the dwarves, who were nearby, with it.
The players and PCs assume that they are in the Nightmare.
Killing things.
This, I should note, happened before either of the players moved away.
Ocean, on the other hand, was last seen at the party in honor of the "heroes." The player had to commit to other priorities in her life (her novel and a book of essays) and felt that her creativity was being tapped by the game when she needed to apply it elsewhere (which, should, I suppose, be flattering).
The character is still very much a part of the world, however, so don't forget about her (as the other PCs surely will-- memory in the Dream being a fleeting thing, you know). The players and PCs, in fact, don't have a clue what happened to her. Did she go back to her son? Did she go off on some other errand? Was she ever really there to begin with?
If we ever make it to Act III, you may find out.
Also, bear in mind that this story is still about three and a half sessions behind, or so. A complete lack of notes and a feeble memory has hindered the updating process, but it will be a little while before I can tell you what the current cast of characters is.
Also, in about one and a half sessions, things get strange. The game...er...starts over, so to speak, with Piratecat's own
Of Sound Mind.
I've started
a seperate thread for it (some time ago, actually), because I'd hate to spoil such a wonderful adventure for people who haven't yet run or played it, but I'll link to it again when the time comes.
