Well, the figure seems to not care about them, anyway. 
Oh. And ... the story is just getting good. Not that it hasn't been good so far, I just mean that as a DM I'm stoked about the series of encounters that will come (assuming Aekalos continues on the anticipated path). Of course, no railroading. Just anticipating what is likely to come.

Oh, it's not so much specific actions that I'm anticipating. I don't plan that in depth ... it seems pointless for PbPs to plan that indepth because the games move slow enough.
It's more like the general story line.

Unleashed,
As you've no doubt read in CoE ...
I've decided to close MttS and CoE for varius reasons. I'm still up in debate about what to do here. I don't like leaving adventures unfinished, so I'll certainly be willing to get Aekalos back to Partuss and deal with the Sea Captain. However, That's about as far as I would take it.
PbP gaming took a negative spin for me after RA's KoD game fell apart. Between that, player attrition in my own games, and discovering that I enjoy being a storyteller much more than a DM have pulled me away from PbP gaming. For some reason, all of my games have slowed in posting rate since about the time that RA's KoD game fell apart. [Not blaming KoD, just setting a time reference] Slow games are much harder to DM than faster moving games. The amount of investment required per post increases dramatically the slower the game.
I guess I'm telling you this because as a gamer you've earned my respect and since this is a solo game I can address you specifically. I want you to know that my closing of the other games is not because of anything anyone did (outside of slow posting rates). It is just because I am tired and need a break.
However, if you want to continue with Aekalos tog et him back to Partuss, that's fine. I'll leave it up to you if you want to continue for a short bit or just stop here.

No problem. I'm just as happy to stop here if we're going to wrap things up at the end of the adventure, as getting to the end here isn't all that important to me. After all, it's not like we're wrapping up a long series of adventures. 
Don't worry about having to drop the games, as yours have run a lot longer than many games I've played here, and at least I received a reason as to why it's ending rather than the game just stalling.
It was fun while it lasted, and thanks for GMing a solo game for me.

You're certainly more than welcome. As I've said, I've got respect for you as a gamer. And that says something - I've many on this board who I don't have a great deal of respect for - at least in their gaming habits I should say.
Hopefully you have other games to fall back on, although I've also noticed that you're on for less time as well, too? Life getting busy?

Actually, the reason I've been on less is that almost all my games have slowed down or stalled... mostly due to player attrition. I can easily be on more, but since I haven't had much to do I've started checking in less often and have done something else instead. :\
Right now out of the 10 characters I have listed in my signature things stand as follows:
-- 4 games are either stopped or stalled (including your two games).
-- 1 has just restarted for me after a long wait for the other half of the group to finish what they were doing.
-- 1 is in the process of restarting, currently recruiting more players.
-- 1 will begin re-recruiting after the one above restarts.
-- 3 are going quite slowly due to various circumstances, though mostly it's due to limited player and/or GM time.

Unleashed,
Don't know how often you are checking the boards any more ... but I thought I would tell you about something that might interest you. It is a project that I am hoping to get done through Mentalis Design, a subgroup of Dreamscarred Press. It is a character desin set that is classless, but uses the 3.x constructs. Feel free to read up on it if you are interested.
Character Design for the Uninhibited
Hopefully the link works.
Are you still gaming?

Oh, I'm around a fair bit, in fact I'm around a lot more than I was in my previous post. As for gaming ... well pretty much everything I'm in here has stalled or worse, and I haven't joined any new games for some time, but I always live in hope that a few of the more recently stalled games will pick up again some time soon. Haven't gamed face-to-face for some time though, as my group just hasn't been available due to work or family.
As I said before, I hope it goes well for you, and I'll be interested to see what you've done if/when it gets published.
