Setup did not crash. I ran into an obstacle I didn't realize existed until the day of, and needed to change plan. It was just a heads up that beta was going to be more like alpha under those circumstances.

They're timeslotting for a different group.

Hey, welcome back. I vaguely recall the account, but I think Ameng was before my time, though we may have crossed paths. If you want to revive her, you wouldn't be the first to resurrect an old PC with many years between. It's easier with an elf, at least, as in-world it's been 64 years since her last login. Maybe she was just on vacation! In addition to the IC changes you'd expect over such a period of time (wars ending, starting, ending again, etc), there have also been many lore changes that are retroactive, so while we're free for the most part to RP our old experiences amongst ourselves, most probably need at least some tweaking to fit in with canon. Unfortunately, characters are not transferred between accounts, so while you can of course make a new character, you would need to play on your original account in order to play Ameng. A recap for her, if you like - Sinthar Bloodstone was destroyed and is once again a legend of the past - along with the Dragoncalled, as Ozlo died defending the Great Oak. Blood's death and that of his Bloodwell left lasting impact in the form of a volcanic winter of sorts that lasted for 20 years and devastated the world, and the deep dwarf that headed his forces to conquer Prantz rules there, still, spreading his influence over the land and below the surface. The dragons in hiding crept back into sight, but another force rose to wipe them out and control them, called the Green Dragon Cult. They built their forces, took over the kingdom of Kuhl on Belinara (once Xantril when home to General Xandrial), and made war on other continents with the help of corrupted dragons under their control. The final stages of this war cost many thousands of lives and reshaped borders. Kuhl retreated behind ironclad borders and will surely emerge to challenge the world order again, but as kingdoms tend to their own lands and people in war's wake, there was never again enough support to risk prodding them to see what they are up to. More recently, constellations shifted in the sky, becoming fodder for doomsayers the world over. The stars belonging to the Couple, Lucinda, Ilsare, Shindalaria, Dorand, and Aragen, all moved in some strange pattern with one another, referred to in some places as the Seven. Fears of a strange, magical disease called Fastrot spark panics in the world for the manner in which all afflicted die. The affected are not large in number in any one area, but cases appear across continents. They stop, eventually, and Rael opens its borders once more, claiming to have discovered its nature and effectively safeguarded its people against it. Clashes with dragons still occur, almost always small, previously unknown ones, sometimes attempting to claim tribute from a town or village, or caught hunting. Odd stories have since been circulating, where the dragons are stunned, shocked, or otherwise sent away by a "hero" who could previously have been anyone - a child or a seamstress. The most notable exception to the stories is that of the Five, a tale brought to other shores by travelers from Liwich Kingdom, where heralds of the Black Plague have spread word of a band of adventurers, mercenaries, knights, thieves, pirates - or anything else the storyteller might embellish with - who attacked the dragon in his lair and are to blame for the retribution he will now take on the surrounds. The Wasting Death has returned to Liwich, and there is fear of it escaping its borders or landing on distant shores. As of yet, no cure has been made. On more local and personal levels, of course many other things have occurred. This is more the global overview since her time.

There are no signs of further disturbances along the lakeshore, at least of the elemental variety, making the visits of Armand and Pitcat pleasant walks in light woods. The winter is cool and mild, and many plants are still in color. Signs of animals have returned, from birdsong to hungry cries in the night, to the faint smell of hidden campfires in dry hidey-holes. There have been changes at the old ferry, of course. The burnt-out husk of the "general store" proves to be home to a number of creatures, and leafy growths have begun the long challenge of reclaiming it. A tree of stone juts from the earth beside it, with a dozen small black cats often jumping over the signs of its tangled roots or playing among its exquisitely sculpted leaves and branches. Slow progress is made on the "ferry", repairing damage done inside and out. More often than not, the Ferryman is found not working on his vessel, but fishing contentedly from the rickety pier, occasionally swatting at a cat that tries to steal his catch. His good cheer evaporates upon seeing the gnuman, and he becomes sour and suspicious, as if wondering what new trouble this so-called professor is going to cause him, today. Answers are curt, indicate no change in the waters, and suggest that all would be wonderful as soon as Armand is gone. After a few visits with no new fires, wings, or cats, however, the Ferryman seems to relax and often advises Armand to take up fishing, a subject he seems able to go on about at some length. ((Sorry for delay ))

In semi-related news, I will still be around this evening, but a little late. Maybe a half hour or so.

Should have asked earlier this week! Do we have any plans? ha

No, probably just once, but at an undetermined date after the first group - timeslot deal is just for ease of setting one later, so I don't need to send a lot of PMs back and forth trying to nail one down later, hehe. silverblades might have better luck with his Sunday, though ?

Right now I'm getting with people who can all group in a slot, for convenience. I have at least one group, but as I mentioned if you and ystrday can work out a group time three of you can make, that can be another, hehe. I just don't have specific time/dates right now and they're subject to change in any case, so general trends of times are easier for me to deal with than day by day. And yeah, provided specs. Please remember the experimental and patience parts! We're working on hammering out some concepts that may or may not work out more than providing an all-in-one experience

Lance, CB, and Serissa look likeliest for a soonish 5-8 (at latest) PST timeslot, maybe given silverblades's limited days LFFF and ystrday could make a B group as Sunday or Monday potential (given notice)? In any case the goal is to have more if it ends up being something that could be fun, so that time scheduling won't be a big deal, just looking for an easy schedule to start If there end up being more, try to hook up in time groups and I'll just get around to working through them. Thanks for the volunteers !

I've changed the alignment, added a note that the whole text is subject to change, a few paragraphs describing the major turning point in the city and current "ruler", and added the word "tropical" because man I will die on that hill.  It's not great, in fact it needs a total overhaul so things go in the right places and aren't so long, but for the moment I just attempted to set it post-Shadowfang.

I've only edited the MA and MAS pages to past-tense for the moment, but the subpages would likely only be accessed through the main page, anyway.

In the interest of simplicity I've just changed the line from "the Great Library will verify our findings" to "our libraries may verify our findings".

The links from this page have been hopefully repaired and orth's clarification added to Mass Flesh to Stone.

The woman blanches and almost chokes on a piece of food, coughing a few times while simultaneously trying to shake her head.

The normal slight delay in understanding Lia's words seems longer this time, a confused expression briefly appearing on her face in mid ravenous scarfing. She nods, however.

For several hours, Ausiré sleeps the sleep of the dead. A well-guarded caravan on the nearby road travel in the early morning towards the golden sands surrounding Arnax, dragging bodies behind them. Soon after the sun rises, a light rain begins falling despite the climbing temperatures. The woman stirs eventually, yawning and stretching and scratching herself, then sits abruptly upright as if remembering herself. She takes a deep breath of the meal's aroma but does not take any or ask, waiting as usual for direction.

Upon turning, Lia can see that the former slave has apparently worn herself out and is sprawled back on the ground unconscious.

The noise resumes fairly quickly, as Lia had taken the time to get her things and speak to the woman for the spell's duration, though the screaming is broken up between the sounds of heavy breathing. It soon ceases altogether without having grown closer to Lia.
