I have asked for everyone to level up their character to 5th for the grand restarting of the temple game.  Please send me either a full character sheet or a stat block, and be sure to include any high priced/masterwork/magical stuff.  In addition to allowing me to plan a little better, this will allow me to figure out if there was any group loot that remained unclaimed (let's be honest folks, it's been like a year), and if any characters have been left out in the cold as far as treasure goes.  As of this point, I have a sheet for Nailgus, as well as one for Rhiannon (plus menagerie).  I will update this as I receive additional player's emails.

Additionally, while I think it worked well to have all the characters who were not present "at camp" with the NPCs that were current and not part of the present scene, "camp" was turning into an expeditionary force capable of sieging a small fort!  As a result, I wanted to get all of your opinions on how to work absent players in future.  Do we continue to allow them to be "in camp?"  If so, which characters amongst the NPC staff are your favorites, so that I can leave them as I wean the ranks a little?  In the long run, the "in camp" solution may eventually become troublesome (as those of you who have been on any version of the temple modules well know it eventually becomes something of a dungeon crawl).   When it does, how would you prefer your character be dealt with when there is no camp to go to, or in the event that you are prevented from going to camp?
