Well I guess this is as good of a time as any to bring this up. In case you haven't already figured it out, this encounter is the endgame for what was my planned Warriors Of The Coast adventure.
That being said... you guys have been awesome to work with (especially drothgery and stonegod who have been with me since the beginning), so I need to ask whether any or all of you are interested in having the game continue? I have several ideas of how the game could go on if people wanted it to, but my original intention was to try and get through one full adventure, which for me in my PbP experience as a player and DM would be a novelty.
So drothgery is gone for two periods in November, and I know stonegod is off for a week(?) in November as well (from what he's said in his Ravenloft thread)... but I can certainly use that time to set up the next adventure in-game if that's what people want to do. There would be a goodly amount of "back-in-town" stuff for everyone to take care of (selling/buying equipment, meetings with your families or bosses, looking at new jobs etc.) that could carry us through November and prep us for the next adventure.
Drop a line here and let me know if you want to keep playing these characters, and I'll start setting things in motion. But if not, and you guys are happy with the beginning/middle/end of what we've accomplished, that's cool too. If this particular game ends, I'll probably go ahead and set up another one shortly, and would love to have any or all of you in the next one. Let me know what you'd like to see. Thanx guys! It's been awesome!
