I'm happy you're back! This has been a fantastic campaign, and I'm glad to have you return as a DM!

Yeah! I am looking forward to Jeb's continued journey with the others.

Just glad you're back. This is a really good campaign. It's worth the wait.

@Thoradin yeah, advantage for Lyre's roguely duties are from being unseen rather than surprise.

Thought so, thanks.

Sorry about the hiding confusion, I usually do play halflings!

(@Murmen, sorry, but you can’t ready actions or spells outside of combat. )

Then why did we have a round to ready actions?  I was not the only one who readied something by a long shot, and you said nothing.

And also, why were we out of combat in the first place?  We heard the movement literally right after the last skeleton died, I don't see how we couldn't ready something for that.

That's fair. I should have kept you in combat. My intention was to give you time to prepare, in case you wanted to retreat/ set a trap. By readying actions, I gave you guys the automatic surprise.) 

Ah, I think I see more what you're saying now.  We wouldn't have both a surprise round and readied actions since surprise round is only at the beginning of combat.  That makes more sense.

Damage dice for crit from John's crossbow: 6

The crits! 

The righteous anger of bold adventurers opposing tyranny of the common man as expressed in a bounty of critical hits!

I will be out of pocket for the next few days. My son is having surgery and will need to be home to help him get about. Please feel free to bot my character as needed.

Completely okay. I hope everything turns out okay for your son.

Sorry about the delay guys. With Jeb and Arikon off, I'm not sure whether we can continue. I think we should until Balthazar returns, at least. Thoughts? 

Sure. Happy to wait until Balthazar is back on

I’m happy with waiting for Balthazar to return.

Fine by me.

Hello guys, 

I just wanted to let you know I have not forgotten about this campaign. I'm a bit split between whether I think we should continue. With Bizzare and Historymahor gone, most of the original players from the start of the campaign have gone, except for LordShadowthorn. I could recruit two more players to fill their place, but then I feel the original feeling of this campaign will be lost. 

Please give me a little more time to figure this out. If you have any thoughts, feel free to share them.
