My posting may be nonexistent for the next day or two as we had to admit my son to the hospital (fever, vomiting, dehydration ... all the nasty stuff). Not sure when exactly I'll have time.

Hope he's ok Bryan.

Thanks James! Thanks for taking over Kua for a bit.

Congrats!

Taking a honeymoon?


Mutated Animal Turtle Smasher 10

Hope everything turns out okay Bryan!

Also, thanks Mothman and Max! Honeymoon will be pushed back a bit. We wanted to go to Costa Rica originally but the timing wasn't right with getting our passports and avoiding the rainier season. So, we're going to go to Las Vegas this September and head to Costa Rica next year when we're a little more prepared.

Thanks for the well wishes, guys. They discharged him last night after an overnight stay and some IV fluids to re-hydrate him, and today the fever's way down and he's eating. So looks like we're on the road to recovery.

And congrats, Jam412!

Glad to hear it, Bryan.

May is a busy month at work with Book Expo of America right around the corner, so I'm sorry if updates aren't regular. Feel free to RP while setting up camp and watch rotations and perception check while on watch.

Hey all, sorry if I’ve been a bit flakey or absent lately, had a very busy week last week, a very busy weekend, and now I am dealing with some stuff that is not putting me in a great head-space for gaming right now.

I’ll try to get back into it as soon as I can (very shortly if possible).


Mutated Animal Turtle Smasher 10

Fun fact: Kua hasn't rolled a double digit attack roll since April 4th! :-P

Hey, leaving town for the weekend - sorry that packing had me taken away the past couple of days, but I'll catch up with the game on Monday! Happy Memorial Day, for those that get the day off on Monday! Feel free to DM-control Uwais/Waya if I'm slowing things down.


Male(s) 27 Ducks in a James suit Duck 27/ Expert 5

Hey guys, sorry if the updates haven't been too regular. Is everyone too busy to post or sick of the adventure? I know it got brutal with the skeletal snake and this guy is set to be a pain. Let me know if you're completely bored and if there's anything I can do to make things work out better- or if you just want to do something else.


Mutated Animal Turtle Smasher 10

I'm having a lot of fun! My weekends have been a bit crazy recently (actually had to drop my RL weekend game) but I'm still good to post regularly during the week. Let's just hope I can hit something eventually. I got waaay to excited rolling that eleven on my Fort save. :-)

Grand Lodge

I'm having fun too, it's just trying to balance RL and PbP is hectic this time of year - working in a school, with all of the 'end-of-year' stuff going on is a madhouse, as well as my friends all getting into summer mode (which mostly consists of alcohol and porches). Lead on, fearless leader, and we shall follow!


Mutated Animal Turtle Smasher 10

Just noticed Chen and I have different XP totals than Sister Mara and Detressa. I'm guessing Chen and I miscalculated or something but just want to make sure before I adjust my total.

Sorry guys, I have been dealing with a sick kid and a couple of fairly busy weeks at work, this game literally dropped off my radar (lost my dot on the thread) and I didn’t notice we were back up.

I’m not bored with the game, but I am finding my character is not as interesting to play as I’d hoped; it’s all very well making a ‘support’ character, but I feel a bit useless except as a heal-bot in combat (and as Badang can attest I didn’t do that job very well). I’m hoping that Detressa will hit her stride with another level under her belt, and/or when we face these hoards of undead.

I won't put my hand on my heart and swear that mine is correct, but I'm usually pretty good at keeping track of xp.

I'm enjoying it, just wish I had a few more opportunities for my spells. My fault for not picking better spells for the tight confines of a dungeon where I'm at the back or middle, though.

As for the XP, I seem to remember thinking I never got totals for the last two fights (festrogs and bone snakes), so I'm guessing Detressa's are correct.


Male(s) 27 Ducks in a James suit Duck 27/ Expert 5

Okay, just making sure. I figured everyone would be out enjoying the summer or busy with work but I also know a dungeon that goes on for months may get a bit boring and I wonder a bit if I shouldn't have spent more time setting it up within Kaer Maga itself. As long as you guys are having a good time, we'll continue onward and upward!

Apologies for the lack of posting the past few days, I have been really busy ... looks set to continue for a couple of days, but I will see what I can do.


Mutated Animal Turtle Smasher 10

Hey all, flying out for my honeymoon tomorrow. I'm still gonna try to check in regularly though.

James:
So I'm fairly active in my local PFS organized play group, and I got volunteered to run the Godsmouth Heresy. Needless to say, the tomb holds no secrets for me anymore. I'd feel bad about continuing to participate without at least letting you know what was going on. As far as keeping player and character knowledge separate, it shouldn't be that hard, especially as Uwais has developed as a quiet character anyways. But I just wanted to let you know!


Male(s) 27 Ducks in a James suit Duck 27/ Expert 5

Jelloarm:

Spoiler:
No problem at all; as long as you don't mind losing the sense of discovery it's no big deal to me.

James:
Thanks for being understanding! I am definitely taking some pages out of your book, as so far you've done a masterful job of running this for us. Keep up the good work!

Note to all - I will be leaving tomorrow morning to go to Turin, Italy on business. I will be back around mid-day on Thursday (EST); not sure if I will be able to update during that time. Please DMPC me as needed.


Female Human (Varisian) Paladin 1

This may be a good time to finalize who claimed or is holding each of Badang's items that we redistributed:

Cloak of Resistance +1 (Kua)
Scroll - Slow Poison (Detressa)
Stone Tablet - Remove Disease (Kua)
Stone Tablet - Shatter (Kua)
Potion - Cure Light Wounds (? - Detressa recommended that someone who had already used their's take this)
Holy Water, vial (?)
Oil, 3 pints (?)
Rations, 3 days (Mara will take 1 day's worth, leaving 2)
Wandermeal, 85 servings (if divided among the five of us - each has 17 servings)

Plus Yang is holding the bracers and medallion we took from the body in the sarcophagus.


Male(s) 27 Ducks in a James suit Duck 27/ Expert 5

I guess now is as good a time to ask as any since you've found the (presumed) villain of the adventure: what do you want to do when this ends? If you wanted to explore the entire Ossuary and get your bonus from the Cryptmistress, that will probably push the game a few months further after confronting Tripe but after that would you rather just bring it to an end or pick up with another adventure? The nice thing about this module is that there are spots that can be expanded on depending on player and GM interest- and the city of Kaer Maga itself isn't explored, which may be a missed opportunity.

At the same time- it's pretty rare to finish a whole adventure on a play by post game and I could understand wanting to go out on top as it were. So what are your thoughts on that?


Hey. Noticed you were looking for me. Still interested in joining the game, just looking for an opening. If you'd allow I'd post a muscle/tank since that role is burdened by Kua alone.


Mutated Animal Turtle Smasher 10

@James: I'd say, let's see how long it takes to capture/kill this guy. If we spend another couple weeks hunting him down, maybe we can move on to something else, exploring Kaer Maga maybe? Whatever you feel comfortable GMing, I'm fine with. I'm having a lot of fun so far.

@SM: Kua will take an oil and since I just used a healing potion, I can take that off of your hands as well. (after the fight of course)

@Randall: Yay! Kua will happily accept the help!

@Everyone: Sorry that I had a big gap in posting, I got an infection in one of my teeth that got me sick. It's mostly taken care of now. Today I'm moving and I'm not sure what the lead time is for the cable guy to hook me back up. This has been a busy ass summer..

Sure, whenever you're ready we'll find a spot to work you back in.


Male Halfling Wolf Shaman Druid 2

I'd be interested in exploring Kaer Maga further - I'd like to see what else I can do with Uwais when he leaves a dungeon-crawl situation.

Ditto. I'd like to keep exploring Kaer Maga.


James:
Great. Considering to run as a Cavalier Hound Master if that's okay with you, 20 point buy.

That sounds good, I remember seeing that archetype on the boards during RPG Superstar and liking it.

I'll resolve this round later today; feel free to post your next actions if you have the time- just write "round two" at the top of your post.


Yay! Thanks, will get on to it.

Alright, I'm moved in, internet is on and my fever is gone. Ready to destroy some skeletons!

The IC thread is not letting me post; for some reason, each time I try and hit submit, it comes up as if I hit preview. So Yang's initiative = 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5


Gold Roll: 5d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 3, 3, 6) = 19


Male Human (Cheliax) Order of the Cockatrice Cavalier (Hound Master) 2

Here's Auron Rurikski, 1st lvl hound master, order of the cockatrice.


Male(s) 27 Ducks in a James suit Duck 27/ Expert 5

The way I see it, you have a few too many points in Auron's stats there. We're doing 20 point buy and you have 25 points spent, not counting the +2 human bonus. If you lower your Strength to 16, you'll be fine. Or you can keep the 18 and lower your Dexterity and Intelligence to 10 each to get the extra five points for the 16 base. And you don't have low-light vision, being a human.

With those changes, you'll be good to go.

Also- posting may slow down more on my end since work will be pretty busy this week with fewer opportunities to hide at my desk and update via iPhone.


Male Human (Cheliax) Order of the Cockatrice Cavalier (Hound Master) 2

I'll check again, was using a half elf template for the stat block.


Male Human (Cheliax) Order of the Cockatrice Cavalier (Hound Master) 2

Editing done. Now, to think up a backstory.


Male Halfling Wolf Shaman Druid 2

Cool! Looking forward to meeting him - more canine-fueled fun!


Male(s) 27 Ducks in a James suit Duck 27/ Expert 5

Let me know when you're ready to jump in again, Randall and we'll figure out how Auron found his way in.


Male Human (Cheliax) Order of the Cockatrice Cavalier (Hound Master) 2

Ready to jump in.


Male(s) 27 Ducks in a James suit Duck 27/ Expert 5

Apparently the apocalypse is scheduled for tonight on the East Coast, so if you don't hear from me please avenge my death.


Let's hope it'll blow over without much incident. BTW, I'll be away from the web till Friday. Stay safe everyone.

I will be heading once again to Italy next week; I leave on Saturday and won't be back until Friday the 9th. Please run Yang as necessary; I will try and check in, but as in the past I don't know that I'll have any access (the hotels make you pay!!)


Male(s) 27 Ducks in a James suit Duck 27/ Expert 5

Jelloarm is out for the weekend as well and I'm assuming Jamie (Jam412) is busy as well. So... I guess we'll carry on at a leisurely pace.
