It has happened when I was sitting around a campfire. I know this because when I came to the campfire I was fine (the haste was working on the roads, etc.) and then when I went to leave the campfire and tried to cast spells on myself they wouldn't stick (which is what happens after all the spells drop until I log all the way back out and back in).
As for happening after a rest, I would rest (with magic still active on me before resting) and then when trying to cast magic on myself just after resting, the magic wouldn't stick (thus telling me it had happened again).
It's the same thing I told you before (that the spells will disappear sporadically and then if anyone tries to recast on me the spells cast disappear immediately until I log all the way out and back in). I just added the afk marker as I had recently noticed that.

OK.. after looking for patterns for a while, all I can say is there is none. Sometimes it happens 2 seconds after a rest, sometimes not for hours, sometimes it happens when I have spells on me, sometimes it happens when I'm just sitting around a campfire without any spells on me, there doesn't appear to be anything that is happening to trigger it.
Another oddity I noticed however is that when I'm under the effects of whatever this is, the afk marker of mine doesn't work. I'm talking about the swirly gig around you. I give the command, it says I'm in afk mode, but the swirly gig isn't there. So, it isn't just spells.
Thanks!

That's ok RollinsCat, my cat has actually attacked people before.  (I mean in game.. she has managed to hit the right keys to attack other players.. not in real life)

As often as Rollinscat curses his cat when playing, I'd believe that was a picture of his cat.

Ms. Ygraine,
If you will buy them, I'll put a few chests down for them and stock them.

The animals one screen outside Center (Lake Spleandor?) don't drop meat. I was told that was scripted that way on purpose. Is that where you killed the ones at that aren't dropping the meat?

//Written by Riley's player
LITTLE KICKER
The time was close and as much as Jillian wanted to stay active it was too much for her. Her back was racked with pain almost constantly now and even though all throughout the pregnancy she carried herself well these last weeks were miserable for her. But she never complained, well maybe just a little. Always faced the day with a smile and her only complaint was that she thought she looked liked a dancing cow. Never! She's radiant and beautiful even on her worst day. But regardless of how I see her it's time to go. Little Kicker will demand an audience soon and we must be prepared.
We had talked about where the birth should take place and after short discussion we both decided that it should be at her family home. What better place? Her mother and sisters are there and will want the very best for her and the newborn. And the temple is close by should anything go amiss. So we packed and headed for the docks and caught the next ship to Huangjin. The voyage over was uneventful. That is unless you consider Little Kicker noticeably assuming a lower posture to be uneventful. Jillian's back was now on fire and I knew she wouldn't be able to complete the walk to her parent's house without many rests. So I paid a one of the young seamen to go out with the pilot long boat and deliver a note to her parents. The ship's Captain was the same as when I came and asked for her hand and he told the young sailor to make haste or in his words, "Prepare for a thumpin", if he didn't go there straight away and not only deliver the note but offer his services. Another three hours crawled by as the ship made it's way into dock and the gangway was across. But even before that we could see that the young man avoided the Captain's wrath. There on the pier was Abygale and Richard. They had with them an ox drawn cart filled with straw. Both appeared to be calm. But I'm sure that their stomachs were turning. Mine was falling and tumbling uncontrollably.
At first Jillian refused the cart. She kept saying she wasn't infirmed and could walk but Abygale wouldn't take no for an answer. And it was good that she did. At least Jillian could be somewhat comfortable, kind off, as the cart rumbled along the path to the house. When we arrived Jillian's sisters were already active. When Sandra saw Jillian she sent her son straight away to fetch her midwife. Thank Toran for that as neither of us really knew what to expect and things started to move rapidly. Almost immediately upon entering the house Jillian gasped and her legs buckled as she doubled over in a shot of pain. A copious amount of fluid covered the floor where she stood. I was on the verge of panic. Jillian had the look of bewilderment. Abygayle just smiled and weighted the room with confidence which calmed us both and said that we got there just in time. The pain passed and Abygale slowly led Jillian to her room. I tried to follow but a look from her sisters and a gentle hand on my shoulder from Rick kept me from proceeding further. It was at that time that the midwife arrived and hurried into the room with bag in hand. And the waiting began.
"You know. It doesn't make the time move any faster if all you do is stare at the door. And before you ask it's only been a few minutes from the last time you asked. ", Rick said. I give him a muted smile and try to look away but every noise that comes from within the room demands my attention. What are they doing?, How is Jillian?, How much longer?, are the questions racing through my mind. There is increased commotion from within the room. A muted scream and Abygale's voice urging for someone to push. Push what? Quiet now. Then it starts again. What in all the hells is going on? I look at Rick. He smiles and tells me it's alright. Soon now he says. How can he be so calm? Then from the room I hear, "There's the head! Push child! Push! Almost there. Just a little more. One more child, just give me one more good push". Then silence. Followed by sobs and soft crying. I stand to head to the door. Is something is wrong!? I must know.
I take a step toward the door and it swings open. Sandra steps through the door smiling and wiping away tears. "It's a boy." she announces. "Jillian is fine. The baby is fine. We ... are fine. Give us a few minutes and you can come see her and your son".
A son! I ... I have a son! I feel Rick's hand on my shoulder. "Welcome to fatherhood Riley. Look. *he motions to the door* They are ready for you. Go see your wife and say hello to your son". I rise and make my way to the room. Or do I? I don't remember taking the steps to get there. I was just there. And what I witnessed was beyond all I could ever have imagined. Jillian propped up with pillows holding our son in her arms as she cemented the bond between mother and child. Tears of joy streaming down her cheeks. Tears streaming down mine I'm sure. I make my way over to her side and kiss her gently on her cheek. "You are amazing." I say. And I take the first real look at who she has been carrying for all these months. "He's beautiful." I say. "No. Handsome. He's handsome." she corrects me. Of course. Handsome. Our handsome son. Richard Alexander. Welcome to a confused world Richard. And I lean down and gently kiss him on the head. Welcome to fatherhood Riley. Don't mess it up.

I got word from Kian (a young man I was asked to train who is interested in being an Undead Slayer). In his note he said that he had gotten orders to show up to Kitharian and investigate some murders and asked if I was available to help. Riley came with me, so arrived on the docks and practically stumbled over Kian and Raelyn. The most recent murder victim's body was on the docks speared thru and hanging from that spear. It had been chewed on, parts of the body missing and the bite marks looked human. We spoke to a few other Beacons who had been looking into the murders. They seemed to have a bit of attitude and if I am to be honest, I was not pleased with them and had planned to speak to their commanding officer. I asked them to take care of the body and get it off the spike while we moved forward in the investigation.
From there we went to another location that a body was found, but the real information was found when we reached the local tavern. We stood out like a sore thumb. It sounds like the start of a bad joke, "Four Toranites walk into a bar." However, that is exactly what we did. We stopped to talk to a Halfling, who after a bit of pie bribing told us about a local working girl group who were prettier and younger than the other groups and whose boss was bigger and meaner. This was important because each of the victims was a married man who was cheating on his wife with prostitutes. It was what they all had in common. One of the working girls was present so we sent Riley over to talk to her (figuring he fit the profile of the victims best we had with us. He was married at least). He chatted her up and she brought him into the back room. The entire time Riley was talking to her, I have to admit I found the scene hilarious. The idea of Riley going to a working girl, well, it was humorous. I do have to admit, the girl was Beautiful with a capital B. Kian turned to look at the girl and his mouth dropped to the floor. I slapped him lightly upside the back of the head to remind him that 1) we were there on business and 2) that she was a working girl. Anyhow when she took him back to her room at the inn, I followed and stood outside the door listening. I wasn't leaving Riley alone with anyone who we thought my have some information on the murders. Next thing I know, the girl is running out of the room straight into me and Riley is hollering to stop her. I grabbed her and threw her to the ground, but she was strong. I mean really strong. It isn't often I find a woman who doesn't do what I do in my life who is stronger than I am, but she was. Luckily Riley joined me and between us we managed to hold her down until Kian knocked her cold. We tied her up and then before our eyes she changed into an old lady. Rae found a vial that had broken when she tried to use it with Riley, and after checking it out, it appeared that it was some sort of anti-aging potion but that it needed blood to complete it.
So, we went back to the docks to see her boss and instead came across the dead bodies of the other two Shining Hand members. Rae and I ran to them and began checking their wounds, which were clearly dead. We both tried praying to Toran to bring them back to us, but there was some kind of vileness that was making that impossible. Just then we were attacked. A group of street thugs tried to take us out. Despite the fact that I know that at least Riley and I were using the flats of our blades, trying NOT to kill them, only one lived and that was after Riley healed him. Lucky for us, he was talkative. He gave us all kinds of information, including where we could find the trouble and the password to get into the building.
And on we went. Rae had to leave, so it was just the three of us from there. We got in, but we fooled no one. They attacked and we put them all down. Vampires. Lots and lots of vampires. We kept searching and exploring. In the end we put down dozens and dozens of vampires, found one living and one dead working girl to save, and a gnome who made the potions under duress because they had his wife (who was dead). Among the dead vampires was the leader of the coven and his female cohort and a man I don't know much about, but would bet was soul bound and that we will see more of. Before we made it out, someone set fire to the building. Our exit was more a rushed exit of seeing to getting the living people out and trying not to burn ourselves. I grabbed one of the working women who was shrieking hysterically and threw her over my shoulder with ease and carried her out the door. Obviously your body can do things when it gets in that mode. I was worried about dying inside the building with the baby inside me. I don't know that I moved faster or was stronger at any time in recent history.
In the end, everyone who was still living made it out of the building. The gnome was mentally not doing well though. He loved his wife very much and her death seemed to snap something inside him. Kian was officially accepted into the Order of the Shining Hand and given orders to be in my unit. The bodies of the two dead Beacons were taken to Ft. Llast and given a proper burial.
I was happy that I got to take part of in this investigation because it showed me that even pregnant I could get my job done.

Interesting thing I just noticed...
I was out adventuring, but had been done for a while and all my spells died a natural death at the same time as the other person with me. So, nothing funny there. But then I was running down a road and realized I wasn't getting the haste the road normally gives, while the other player was. So, for giggles I tried casting a bulls on myself and it immediately disappeared. So, apparently my bug happened when no magics were on me and it even affects the haste the road gives you.
I'll keep looking to see if I can notice a pattern though.

I have had many many logs and no log ever shows anything odd. It still happens regularly. Should I keep posting it?

It's too obvious I'm pregnant to try to hide it anymore. But unlike I feared, it hasn't kept me out of the field and away from doing my job. I went to Katherian recently with Riley, Kian, and Raelyn to look into some murders. After some investigation and deaths by two Shining Hand members that were already there, we tracked it all back to a den of Vampires who had managed to blackmail a gnomish alchemist into making a potion that made you young again. However, it also made you strong and with a need to kill. We took care of the den, including someone even burning down the place.. with us in it. Luckily we made it out in time, killed the vampires, but their hired hand was stone bound and made it out via the stone.
As for my personal life. Things are going well. Riley hasn't been around much lately, but I know he loves me. He didn't even bat an eye at a VERY pretty girl in Katherian... unlike Kian whose jaw hit the table. Speaking of Kian, upon completing the investigations, the Shining Hand offered him membership. He's now assigned to my group. Slowly getting a group of men that I know and can train to do things my way.
The students are doing well, learning lots, and it's good to see.

I did it. I broke up with Kae and made the leap of faith to be with Him. I don't know how smart that is, but I am already happier. I guess there is something twisted in me to enjoy him so, but I do. He is hooked on me and treats me better than I believe he treats anyone else.
I still worry that while I try to get him to learn that he doesn't have to do what he was raised to do, he may indeed teach me to be less good than I was raised to be. He wants to pick a side in an upcoming war and wanted to know if I would be able to kill the soldiers. Wars are natural and soldiers sign up for war, so I think I'm ok with it.. but how much of that is right and how much of that is him playing with my head?
On another note, I finally talked Him into teaching me His language. He refuses to sit down and have lessons at a table, but he is teaching me as we go.. one word at a time. It may take a while, but if I study and remember each word he teaches me, maybe I'll know what danger I'm in if His other friends ever get theirs hands on me.
Today's Lesson
War - Kyilm
Of Course - eosteymlaa
Incompetant - elstelityaanillan
I'm looking forward to our next meeting. He isn't thrilled with teaching me, but he has a hard time telling me no. I don't even know if he realizes that I've conned him into teaching me yet.

I tried a normal relationship. I wasn't happy. It was like living in a snow globe. The world looks like it should be perfect, but it isn't. I'm going to break up with Kae. As soon as I'm done writing here I think. I tried to once already, but he didn't let me. With that said, I'm going to do a very stupid thing and be with Him. He uses me as his conscience. He was thinking of getting involved in slave trading, but knew I wouldn't approve, so he didn't. To more normal people that probably doesn't sound like love, but if you knew Him, you'd know differently. He let me go try and be me, try to figure out who I wanted to be without interfering and was patiently waiting for me when I figured out what I wanted was him.
I know it's stupid. I know pairing up with him in any way is about as stupid as it comes. But, He loves me in the way a man is supposed to, not in the way a puppy loves you (like Kae loves me). Kae treats me more like I'm the best master he has had, than like a woman.
My only concern is that I am His conscience. What if he starts changing my mind on what is right and what is wrong? I'll have to keep solid on that. He's never asked anything of me in the past that I would be uncomfortable with, but if I spend so much time with him. I worry.
I still think life is least boring with Him. Life is something worth living with Him.
I told him I wanted to keep my shop and keep my public face. He could care less. He just wants me. He won't admit He loves me, but I have no doubt.
