I will just say this, a dragon with full hit points is nothing to sneeze at when it comes to absorbing damage. It should be fun if you run into Draxis later.

Penny, good spell choice/timing with the power word pain, that really put a dampener on Draxis' parade. I feel like against humanoid opponents, your character might be a bit more useful, never fear.

Rhaga, perhaps Javelins? To make the most of your strength. That or mighty composite long bow?

Tamyir, one thing to note, your retributive spell feat and battle blessing feat provide the equivalent (swift vs immediate) per round ability, so in the future, make sure to bare that in mind. It isn't a huge issue in the last battle, but action economy... Thank you to the player who pointed that out.

In discussion with a couple players over character changes, hopefully by tomorrow I can have it worked out so we can start.

Heroforge is fun.

I can see that it is :D

How many guards are there?

There are four guards at the gate, two on the outside, two on the other side.

Are they allowed to accept the silver toward a beer? Trying to make friends. ;-)

Bah, who needs friends when you can just charm them to do your bidding *evil grin*

;)

I'm feeling this game! Enjoying your world He Who Watches! Thank you for having me!

No problem. I will update either tonight or tomorrow. Family event.

Expect an update after work tonight.

Here comes Penny... at least her human image :D

Very nice, I like her a lot!

Thanks, I need an additional spot light to get rid of the shadows on her face but otherwise it is pretty much what I was aiming for. :D

Sorry about the delay all, things went downhill for my mother this weekend, hopefully updating tonight.

In reply to He Who Watches (msg # 87):

She'll be in our thoughts, hope she is well.

Sorry to hear boss, real world takes priority always.

True, I appreciate the comments. My mother has been on dialysis for years, and over time it wreaks havoc on the circulatory system. After enough time, strokes are common side effects, as well as diminishing brain mass. Although she has been in a home for the past few years, her quality of life has been far better than it was before. Her memory is the hardest part to cope with, when she does not recognize one of her sons...it's hard. We are talking with her in her lucid moments, discussing hospice and how she would like to spend the last of her days. Her partner came up with a beautiful idea, and my brother and I agree it would be a... blessed way to go. Her, her partner, her beloved cat, renting a beach room so that she can spend her hospice days near the ocean, surrounded by love.

Thankfully, we all met years ago to finalize the will and medical directives, and her partner has experience with dealing with our very flawed healthcare system and takes no sheete from anyone. If my brother and I decide to go visit, I will give notice for the game.

That is sad news, even if you were aware the time would come eventually. Thank you for sharing this with us, I understand it's not always easy. It is good to know they made arrangements in advance and the idea to spend your days with those you love and where you like it is a blessing. Most people don't have that luxury, God bless her.

In reply to Penny (msg # 91):

agreed, how old is she? My mom was 64 when I lost her, my dad was 63, I'm 61 so I think about it a lot now.

Literally she just turned 67, Birthday over the weekend.

The only thing I will say is having your will set up as early as possible, and if you have extended savings or properties, have a living trust set up asap. It is a little pricey to set up (between 500-2000 dollars) depending on your needs, but it spares your loved ones having to go through probate (which can cost quite a bit more, and normally does).

In reply to He Who Watches (msg # 93):

Wow, your mother is young too! That makes it all the worse. In my prayers.

Oh dear, I agree that's quite young. My grandparents lived until 67/69 but my parents have made it to 74/75 and they are comparatively healthy, probably because they stayed active. So I'm very grateful for that. Take as much time as you need for your mother.

Sounds like you've got some great plans to make the most of the time you have with her boss, best of luck with that.

Yeah wills, need to get mine sorted. While I'm still working at somewhere that helps cover it as part of that.

I need one too, me, my wife, and my roommate are all 3 disabled, we share the house and living expenses, if one dies, the others are homeless most likely.
