sup guys, I am in fact alive, though I should probably explain why I've been gone for a while. I was traveling with a group of people who claimed to have intel on the... thing... I've been looking for (despite all three of our seers telling me that traveling with these people would be 'bad for my health') and long story short I got drugged and all, nothing new. and I was underground for a few weeks and the girls finally showed up and beat the snot out of those fools and I got a lecture from the coven of seers. I've got some new scars and a strange tattoo but otherwise everything going well.
