I am so sorry for my lengthy absence from this RP. I want to reassure you, Wintercat, that your skills as a GM are exceptional. It is real life issues that are proving to be overwhelming and as a result I am unfortunately going to have to drop out of this campaign. =\<br/><br/>My attempts to get things sorted out on my end only proved that it would take a lot longer to accomplish than expected and I feel that it isn't fair to the GM or the party to keep you all waiting on me.  I wish you all the best with this adventure and hope that it can once again pick up the momentum it had in the beginning.
