So... I think, sadly, it's time to put this to rest.
I just don't have the time, energy and inclination to try and keep this adventure afloat (pun totally intended).
I'm sorry for that. I thought I would have more time available that I actually do.
Be well folks and I hope you have more great adventures. If you decide to play these characters in the future, go ahead and progress to whatever your next level would be.
