Status: Skirt damaged<br/>HP 65 of 83     Spells remaining: 7 of 7 1st, 4 of 4 2nd, 1 of 1 from bonded object<br/>Ammunition remaining: 5 common arrows, 15 silvered, 20 cold iron, 2 Slow Burn, 5 Tangleshot<br/><hr/>Finding no obvious way to use it for the improvement of Melangwi Outpost, Rayne settled for keeping the extra platinum.  It was the thought that counted.  She enjoyed a wine with the others before bed, finding their opinions much like her own.<br/><br/>"Well, I'm sure some people find the collars interesting, but without consent, yes, it's terrible.  I suppose..."  Rae-lynne wracked her brain, but without success.  "... well, I don't remember the EULA, but I think maybe the safewords weren't laid out in there.  The possibility of non-consensual ... stuff certainly was.  So maybe... maybe it's seen as a perfectly legal change.  But they can't keep us trapped here, we have to be able to log out!"  And surely they'd be able to, once things were sorted out in the morning.  Was this some sort of stunt?  No, no way would anyone dare pull something like this.  It had to be an accident, in which case, there's no way the servers would still be running tomorrow.<br/><hr/>As the light woke her, Rayne looked out, tried a quick logoff, sighed, then dressed again - even if light armour permitted restful sleep, Rayne simple wasn't going to sleep fully clothed, instead stripping to her underwear every night, in civilization at least.  She noticed Teagan's Sending, and took heart from that - her friend was OK, and it sounded like there was some sort of organization getting set up in Port Lannis, which meant the mobs hadn't totally overrun the place.  She considered sending back a reassuring reply, but held off - better to speak with the others first, maybe there was news to Send back.<br/><br/>She was fully equipped when she rejoined the others downstairs, squeezed between Grogza and Moonshadow and began helping herself.  "'morning.  No changes, eh?"  She was actually quite hungry, and downed an egg before proceeding with assorted fruit.<br/><br/>"I received a Sending from my friend in Port Lannis - it's been partly overrun by various monsters, but apparently a number of people have built up some defences, and they're getting organized there.  Of course... this also means there's been no end of these new conditions, either."  She looked across at Ledude, then rested a hand on Grogza's powerful forearm.  "I don't know anything for sure, except one thing - there's no way the admins don't know what's happening here."  She hadn't quite believed it until she said the words, but now she really was certain.  "If they had suddenly all gone blind... they would have investigated, and quickly shut the servers down.  This is keeping people all over stuck, helpless..."  She shivered at the thought of herself, Rae-lynne, still plugged in after so long with no end in sight.  "They should at the very least have been able to make an announcement in-game.  I think... we need to be prepared to take care of ourselves, in-game, for... I don't know, for a long time.  So... I want to get to where the plans are being made, where players are organizing, to help, and just to know more.  My friend's in Port Lannis - that's my goal.  I think we'd be much better off all staying together, but I can understand if you want to keep in the fort, Grogza.  It seems like the shops are still operational, you can afford to stay here for quite a while now."  She helped herself to a slice of bread.  "But I'm sure we could use your help, too."<br/><br/><hr/>OOC: Have taken 9 HP (1/level) back for a night's rest, hope that's OK... I didn't know if you also allowed the CON bonus to that.  And I've been updating the character sheet on page 1 with the various necessary changes, but not HP - and I think I'll just track ammunition in these posts also.<br/>
