Just wanted to add that I'm sorry to see this Pbp story come to a stop; it's been interesting to read and watch the characters develop.
That aside, good luck and stay safe, Dementia.

Pity none of us could start up a new PBP? Like Serpant's Skull or something?
Not I, sadly. I'm already in 2 Serpent's Skull games, and thankfully the two characters are different enough that I'm not having any trouble writing them both.
As am I, but I may decide to run something in the future though...
Not that I'm ready to start something up right away, but is your group of four interested in getting into a PbP? You have a good dynamic, so I am just wondering since it looks like one of the PbP's I'm in is likely going to die, so I might have some time.
Secondly, what are you interested in? Someone mentioned Serpent's Skull - but then it sounds like some of you are already involved in it.
Just throwing it for now. Nothing in stone yet. Thoughts?
I have... three of my characters in my list occupied, and the rest are up for grabs, if any of them would fit.. It would be interesting to see another story involving these four, though, and I definitely would enjoy writing Edan if Godelina is there opposite him.
Beyond that, I'm content currently to let my PbPs dwindle as school and work are taking up my time along with some social obligations, so once things have fallen off a bit, I'll look to get back into things.
I'm not apposed to one. These character interactions are still quite interesting. A different set of characters may be able to capture the chemistry again. As for interests, I think that a more sanbox type campaign works with our dynamic. Perhaps, Kingmaker?
Kingmaker? Now that would be an interesting AP for this group. I would gladly play in a Kingmaker game with Ushari.

*passes by dusting again and waves to all*
Hello all, I am hoping to re-open this campaign at Me'mori's urging :) So if anyone is still checking by here from time to time drop a post and let me know if you are still interested in starting it back up.
Hmmm...I might consider going back into this campaign, but I would use a different character than Ushari (most likely) as she is in another PbP game.
But she was so well loved by all! The horror!
Ok we will work with what we have, lets see who else shows up.
Godelina's player should be posting shortly. Haven't heard from Ramar's player either.. I think. Would it be premature to ask that this be removed from the "inactive" pile at the bottom of the page?
It could be possible to rotate them out for two more newcomers, if we don't hear from them.
BTW Ramar's player is in one of my other PbP games, but his character is on vacation until Wednesday. I still have 'Shari's old Campaign notes, so I could rebuild her if needed.
We will wait till Fri and hopefully hear from Ramar between Wed and then, if no word is forthcomming then I will begin looking for new people. In the mean time I am reading through the PbP and reviewing old campaign notes trying to remember where I was going with all this. I already have a pretty good idea.
Hi there, glad to be back. Almost axactly 2 years since starting it lol.
Anyway thanks to this new system on the forums if I lost my tabs it won't be a issue as all the campaigns are under my tab.
I should take a look at Edan, with all the stuff that has come out, see if anything fits him better.
Sounds good, everyone can check out to see if they want to upgrade anything due to updates and what not.
So the old band is getting back together again? I am in!
I need to redo Ramar's character because I changed him into another class and stuff for another campaign.
We were level 2 correct? I believe I was a psion(telepath).
Also, was it 20 or 25 point buy and should we have equipment for our level?
20pt buy, and we gained the level mid-game, so (I think) nothing you can't purchase in a town of that size.
Edan's fine as he is. I'm not changing anything.
Me'mori is correct, and yes that is what you were playing with a bent toward that macabre. If I remember correctly your psionic visuals caused things to look bloodied and such. I should be ready to kick this thing off again starting Monday if everyone else is. I will keep you updated as the weekend closes.
Ushari has the same avatar as me and I need to look up whatever Lina picked up in the adventure too as I don't remember what the equipment was origonally.
Hello - lurking again - was mildly surprised to see this thread "pop-up." I've been away from these boards for awhile and am just starting to get settled again. It's good to see this come back to life.
Good luck with your adventures.
Don't worry about the avatar thing Lina. I created a different avi for 'Shari and will select a different one.
@Alex Martin
Yeah I thought it's quite cool that its' back up, I quite liked my Paladin, though this time I have more of a idea to her motivation. She has no idea what she'd like to do beyond being a paladin and slaying evil, but depends on what happens with Edan might settle down, but who knows what'll happen.
@Eric Swanson
kk ty, wanted to get that covered before the game started with all the confusion. Was confusing looking back through the old posts, lol.
Character will need a little work for the moment, will you allow the Advanced Race Guide? I've looked at the racial traits and have no interest in them as none appear to go well with Godelina, however I would like to take a few feats from it, such as angelic blood.
Angelic Blood
Your blood is infused with holy power.
Prerequisites: Con 13, aasimar.
Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on saving throws against effects with the evil descriptor and on Constitution checks to stabilize when you are reduced to negative hit points (but not dead). Furthermore, each time you take bleed or blood drain damage, each undead creature or creature with the evil subtype that is currently adjacent to you also takes 1 point of damage.
This feat can also lead to other feats, such as Angelic Wings, which I think would look awesome on her, if she gets to that level.
Angel Wings
Feathered wings sprout from your back.
Prerequisites: Angelic Blood, aasimar, character level 10th.
Benefit: You gain a pair of gleaming feathered wings that grant a fly speed of 30 feet (average maneuverability) if wearing light armor or unencumbered, or 20 feet (poor maneuverability) with a medium or heavy load or medium or heavy armor. Fly is a class skill for you.
I'm thinking about changing toughness to angelic blood so to start with that, but will wait until the DM gives me the go ahead.
Not to be too forward - I'm quite content to just read about your adventures - but if you think you'll be needing a new player, will you be taking submissions?
I'm thinking a swordsman fighter or perhaps rogue type, if you need someone more sneaky.
Apologies - don't want mess up the group's dynamic either or mess up Dementia's plans. Good luck!
@Godelina I have no problem with the change.
@Alex I have no problem with a 5th and you have been following for a long time so submit a character idea. I may have uses for you...
updated profile and added stuff here to help the DM so all my saves, AC, Perception and Init are on display.
I should have everything up to date by monday. Some things came up at work that need my attention for the next couple days. Glad to see everybody back!
Also I updated her backstory and appearance to try and make it more coherent. I've decided to give her a pair of rarther large yams too, I have too many females that all have flat or small breasts plus is goes with her looking like the "socially acceptable" type of beauty that's often in the media.
I have no problem with small or big breasts, I think any breast is gods gift to man.

*chuckle* I'll not make any "Glory" jokes. Edan's next stat point is going in Will, most likely.
Glad to have you aboard, Alex! We'd make the canonical five-- well, Ramar's a weird one, but wasn't there always? :p
Thank you! I will start working on a character - will probably have something put together by tomorrow. Forgive my ignorance, but if memory serves:
*20pt buy
*Take gold at max, subtract 15%, and that it is your starting total.
*Similar approach on starting HPs, correct?
*Any other specifics I should know in creation?
Back later on. ;-)
Nope, that all sounds about right.
it was max starting gold and subtract 15%? Hmm...I might be off on Lina's equipment then as I had remade her for a average campaign.
Edit: And done, now she's got slightly better armour.
Alright, guys I am completely finished going through all my notes as well as reading the entire campaign to remember what all had occurred previously. I am really excited because the beginning was a little slow (Mostly my fault for giving you no real direction, but I feel you all did good poking around town and it gave you all time to really get to build your characters rather then just have them swing weapons all the time.) but we are about to get into the meat and potatoes of a few different quest lines if you continue following what you all have figured out so far.
On that note, there was a lot of roleplaying and 0 battle so far. What is it that you all as players are looking forward too? There will still be roleplaying since you are figuring out things that trouble the town but I can make it so that you all have more opportunity for battles as well if that is what you all want.
I will be ready to start this ball rolling Monday dependent on Alex's character submission and Shari being completed. We will pick up right where we left off Starting at the house Ramar and Shari where headed too.
Sorry for the delay - making characters is always a slow process for me. I should have something for you to review late this afternoon. Thanks again for the chance to join up.
I'm not concerned about the lack of battles. If we stumble into it, cool. No need to force an event, in my opinion. The character development was one of the reasons this was my favorite pbp.
They wouldn't be forced, there are going to be plenty of battles coming up soon regardless. Dependent on how you handle things capturing the bad guys of course. I was just curious what you guys wanted more of.
OK - back. Here's the two suggested characters I have setup.
Lanten Tiberu - Swordsman fighter in search of his father. Its been awhile since I played just a fighter-type, and I have been interested in trying one of the variation types.
Rellios Trevelan- Elven character I had come up with as an alternative - with the background I had started for him he was more of a rogue/fighter to start. I am thinking take him as a straight fighter, but flexible if the group needs the extra skill set.
I leave it up to Dementia to see if he has a preference for story reasons. Since I am the new guy, I welcome feedback and will go with the flow. Lanten is my first choice, but I am interested in running either character.
If I may opine on the question of more or less battle, being the fighter-type tends to make me say I welcome more combat. But, as mentioned, it is the interplay between the characters that has gotten my attention. I only hope I can contribute to that side of it as well.
So, don't feel a rush to do it, but I'm OK with some surprise battles.
Here's the question: Of the characters, which of their personalities are best suited to the group?
Bah. That's what I get for posting at work. I like Lantan as well.
Thanks!
Personality wise:
Lanten: "Each man stands with his face in the light. Of his own drawn sword, ready to do what a hero can" mixed with "I do not hold to that...I aim to misbehave." Brash and sarcastic, but loyal and dedicated. He may come off unlikeable at first I will confess, but hope he proves a good companion. A rogish common man.
Rellios: "Cherish your human connections" mixed with "It is my duty to accomplish small tasks as if they were great and noble." Serious, but with a dry humor and blunt honesty at times. More introspective, but cares for those around him. He may come off as aloof, but can be warm or comical as the mood sets. I think he may act like a teacher, but can be underhanded if need be.
Coming in as the new guy, I can see either of them not being easily trusted. How GM may want to add me I leave to him, but would imagine it will be awkward at first.
Nonsense! Awkward is fun! =D
I agree Me'mori. Awkward=fun!
As far as Ramar is concerned, I think that I am ready. I've got equipment, stats, and power descriptions. I need to go back through all the posts to try and figure out my displays versus the regular displays. I do remember there being an infernal twist due to the nature of my powers but I don't want to hold things up.
Ok 'Shari is ready now...except for her equipment, but I can add that later.
EDIT: Avi selected too, he he
EDIT: Lantan sounds like fun to me as well.
Well there have been more than enough awkward moments between Godelina and Edan and it's very fun to laugh at.
Sounds like Lanten will work then - with Dementia's OK.
A tip of the tankard.
