Should I interpret the silence as the group being taciturn and wanting to continue movement onward, or is it lack of availability to post? I do note that we don't have too many chatty characters (aside from perhaps Karn?), so even if you have nothing to say, a bit of RP'ed silence helps me know that everyone is still engaged.
Hopefully Laime will be better soon, but I will NPC her as necessary in the meantime.
