Boil will inquire about how to become a vistani…then he could come and go as he pleases..he will study them doin gathering metal working and take notes on the types of designs they prefer. He would also be interested in their favorite foods and any recipes they would be willing to share. The important cultural themes, flavors and sounds. If he is going to be Shanghai’d by some count misty feets, he is going to get as much out of the experience he can.
OOC: This has been my first ever game of D&D on these forums (and pretty much my first game of D&D at all). Do DMs often go missing? When it happens, do we just wander off in search of other games? Can we use the same characters for other games, and is the xp earned here lost (not that we earned a lot at this stage, but I am still curious in principle).
OOC: TK's profile says he was last active 3 days ago, but he hasn't posted since before he want on vacation. Hopefully the activity indicates he is okay, but perhaps some emergency has come up. Has anyone sent him a private message lately?

It happens a lot. Either DM goes MIA or the players do…the good thing is you can reset levels if required by another dm and start over. To join another game with the character you would need to remove it from the campaign.
Boil has learned to make many different types of tin pieces. Cups, a nifty candle lantern with designed inscribed by poking small holes with a nail. He thinks one of the Vistani girls have an eye for him..

As has been said it can be a roll of the dice (pun intended) but then you can hit some good ones too. I've got a group on here that's been going over 2 years. I've also lost track of how many times I've restarted. Quin is a restart from a game that was over a year long. That one was disappointing since he was shaping up nicely. But mostly I did a roll call to see if anybody had stuck around since breaks like this often cause players to bail. I'll give our DM 24 hours from this post or I'll move on again.
I'm slammed with work until July so I'm not in a hurry to start a new game. I will hang on here for the next couple of weeks, assuming I won't be the only one left. :)
Boil and the Vistani girl known as Tatiana hit it off well. After a few nights of courting, Boil will ask her father for permission to marry the young beauty. Her father reluctantly agrees, as there is no chance to marry her off otherwise since nobody coming into the mists survives. Their first night together goes spectacularly and Boil hangs a sign on the wagon door…” Don’t come knocking, when the wagons rocking”
A good beginning for the Darkscale branch of Vistani. Everyone throws a big party and the Gully dwarf we knew as scat, who it turns out is really Strahd seethes in anger at his foiled plot.

Bump?
OOC: DM is on vacation for the week, so no guarantees we will see new posts on any particular day.

OOC Makes sense ;)

Rolls to see if I'm still here: 19
Looks good! :)
Kwami briefly wakes from his nap. "Wha....?" He looks around, sees no one, and goes back to sleep.

If he doesn’t show up, we can always rob the Vistani and join with count dookey and conquer this alternate universe of misery…mwah hah hah ha

OOC I would say about half of the campaigns I've joined have fizzled out like this. It's a bit of a crapshoot.

If he doesn’t show I will say Strahd is really just the gully dwarf in disguise
