I talked with Ryan abit after this past weeks session about what he missed. He said that he would like a chance to play D&D again next week, since he missed out on the fun and spent time with hippie's. So unless anyone really wanted to play Hollow Earth this coming week, we will be continuing the adventure and maybe unlock some of the mysteries of Shadowfell, and maybe that relic the characters found in the dragon burial site. And no, this is not some attept by the DM to drop a hint about character back ground stories (or is it?).
