True enough as expected, as everyone should have had their little mini-adventure over the holiday period!<br/><br/>On another note, all of you should have noted by now that I have not been updating the character sheets in the Journal: for the moment the structure of the adventure is pretty loose since everyone is adapting to world.  From now, until the group completes their journey/quest in the caves, they are free to remake their character's as they wish, but once the adventure of the caves is over, the character they leave the caves with is the one they'll be going through Emaeril with.<br/><br/>For those who are wondering about leveling up, once the group reaches inside the cave, they will advance to 2nd level, and once they exit they will move to 3rd level.  There after, normal experience points will be required to get your character's on the process of advancement, using the fast track (i.e. 4th level at 6,000 xp, 5th level at 10,000 xp, etc).  As a note, the bonus XP system via points that I mentioned before is already in effect, the exact number of which I shall relay to each player in a later PM.<br/><br/>Finally, don't neglect to use the Journal for inter-party conversations, saving up the main IC thread for interactions with NPCs (basically if a conversation would be done purely between party members, make it happen in the Journal, but if an NPC is present and the character's are not trying to hide the conversation, it should be done in IC).
