Well things are beginning to pick up a little. At least after the hour and a half long search for mIrc server that worked for everyone. We even managed to get in some combat, against a mess of skellingtons. Who mauled the crap out of my half-ogre. Thank the gods for doubled starting hit dice ( Read more... )
