I'm back, was busy for labor day weekend and such. I'll catch up on the thread and have a post up today.

Ceawin is a punk.
 
Abrogast almost died, again.

Bandy feels cheated and wants to leave.

Grimbeorn hates towns.

You're all caught up.

Ball is back to you Doug! How insane is Sunstead Homeboy gonna get?

Doug!!! Narrate us!

Is it worth sending him a PM?  I don't imagine he's forgotten about us completely, but it might be more of a poke if it shows up in an email inbox. 

Every time anyone posts anything on my boards, it emails me, guys.

I haven't forgotten anyone - and I have never bailed on my games in over 13 years. I am planning the next chapter after we complete the journey posts home.

While I am doing that I am also running my Tuesday night game on Roll20 and then preparing for the live table group I play every two weeks.

So please forgive me if I have intermittent breaks during our games while I clear my head, prepare the next game, and also have a life with my family.

I will have a post up tomorrow.

We don't mean to be naggy, Doug, and I'm sorry if it comes across that way.  We're not being entitled brats, we're being enthusiastic! 

In all seriousness, my morning gets a little bit better every time I log on and see a bright yellow 'New' button. 

It is cool, Paul, and I am sorry if I came off as a dick. I didn't mean to.

I appreciate all you guys and your enthusiasm for our game. I wish my brain had the creative juice to be spontaneous daily, but sometimes it gets distracted with everything else.

I promise you guys I will not let you down.

I will have a post up tonight around midnight.

'Root-cleaver' in the tongue of the Vales of Anduin.  Doubly suitable, I submit, because 'wyrtacleofa' can also mean a root-cellar.  So the name refers both to what was done and where.  And who doesn't love a pun in a dead language?  Not this guy, that's for sure! 

Okay, while I'm here again I have to ask - Doug, was there any significance to the enormous sword that the others found down in the barrow?  It looked like it was going to be a plot point, but nothing seemed to come of it. 

It was an ornate blade that belonged to one of the kings of old. It might have had significance but no one really wanted it, except Bandy, so it was left behind.

The barrows did have treasures - and I was going to build up what it all would be worth, with the potential for tainted stuff, too, but again the party doesn't appear to want to be looters.

That said - it is all sitting in the ground just south of where you all are talking to Mother Leyna and I have no problem with editing timeframes.

I tried! When you guys are living off of ramen noodles and finding nourishment in the telling of fell deeds by a cold fire this winter dont come whinning to this Hobbit.

Realistically, it's probably already been cleaned out by the Sunsteaders.  Maybe not with Caewin's sanction, but I doubt the barrows would stay undisturbed for a week and a half once word bit around that there was treasure to be had and no more wights to threaten people trying to take it.
