sorry for the delay ladies and gents. WE will be underway tomorrow!

Cool! Looking forward to it.

Yay! Startin' ta get worried! ;)

Waiting patiently...and glad you'rs still around.

maps are going to be used going forward. Right now I am leaning toward using a rough excel sheet to aid in battles.

I've had good luck with google spreadsheets.

Map I used, thank Azure_Zero

I'll be out of town this weekend for an SF convention, heading out tomorrow morning, and even though the hotel has decent internet I'm not sure how much time I'll have to post. If necessary, DMPC me.

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNN!

have fun

Just a quick note: I will not be able to post tomorrow until very late. We have a family trip to Hershey Park (mid-state) for my daughter's school picnic. [She's cyber-schooled and that's the most convenient place for the school to include everyone.] Today should be fine, though.

I'll also be spotty in posting over the next few days.

i fear we may have lost our Inquisitor extraordinaire.

I'll give him a few days before killing his character off in a grisly and possible hilarious fashion and then finding a replacement.

muahahahahaha

Unfortunate, that. I'mbeing sick right now; real post later.

sorry for the delay everyone.

we'll have an update up later today.

I dont think im going to look for a replacement for Aleksandr, we have four still and a good group mixture.

I'm less sick now and much better connected (smartphones are wonderful things, but doing anything more than cursory posting takes forever).

So, are we still on or did the building blow up and kill us all?

No! No building blow-up! That'd make a real mess... ;)

haha no we are still on, really sorry.

I will update today. for realsies this time.

Excellent! I understand RL getting in the way all too well, myself.

DM Corvus, did you ever hear anything back from Nostrus?

nope.

You may want to move your characters away from Aleksandr. He is due for a highly localized meteor shower in 3...

ah just kidding. im gonna send him another message and write him outif i dont get a resposne.

OK. I'll be out of town for the next couple of days, and with my laptop out of commission won't be able to readily post. Back Sunday evening, though.

for the purpose of time saving, all suggested actions by PCS will be subject to confirmation by one other pc for it to be undertaken.

if somenoe agrees with Peredur's post, then to the house the party shall go.

this make sense?

Works for me.

Sounds good to me, too. I noticed when I run PbP that it's hard, sometimes, not to assume that silence gives assent, especially when I really want to keep things moving.

I'm good with that, too. Off to the house! :)

Sorry for the lack of contact, had some real life issues that have kept me out of gaming for a long time. Just back now, I haven't yet read the game thread but no worries if Aleksandr has been written out.

Well, he wasn't fatally written out... ;)

Aleks,

glad you are back and certainly hope everything has worked out for you.

Please catch up on the game thread and we will discuss a way to reinsert you to the story here once you have, if you want to rejoin of course.

So Aleks are you goingto rejoin the fray?

Also, please note that as we are about to hit the dungeon proper, I'm going to try and figure out a map system that we can all use.

I am probably going to use Excel again. I will hoepfully have this ready to go tonight.

thanks for your patience. We're at the good stuff now so brace yourselves.

By "good stuff", you mean the part with a lot of death and dismemberment, right?

Just checkin'. :)

Yup, sorry, wound up having to head up North to go to my cousin's funeral and then change job roles on the day I came back. Hopefully things are now on an even keel!!

So I'm caught up. What kind of monetary resources do we have at hand? I suspect that while Aleksandr was away he would have picked up some supplies against the undead, if he could.

nothing really, but the equipment you found in the crypt, and father grimburrow has given the party holy water as well.

youa re not locked into the dungeon, so feel free to leave when you find stuff to sell if you need more equipment.

Aleksandr, please insert yourself in to the scene. we will proceed into the prison once you are back iwth the group.

well, the gang is all here.

I will have our first map update on Saturday.

having some difficulties with the map right now. Will post shortly, thanks for your patience.

Thanks for the update; good luck with getting the map together.

Just in time for things to really get rolling, I'm going out on the road through Sunday, so posting will be intermittent. Phones kind of suck for that sort of thing :-(. DMPC me as needed, DM Corvus.

A heads-up in advance: I'll be largely afk from 8/30 through 9/3; I'll be at WorldCon in Chicago. Anyone else going to be there?

I have three medical appointments tomorrow: PT for my sprained tendons, explaining to the dietician why I've lost so little weight, and then getting my regular physical. So, no posting until late, most likely, as the VA doesn't have WiFi for my Fire.

Back among the living after Worldcon, though not yet among the fully conscious. I'll have a game post up tomorrow sometime. How are you doing, Iesha?

Good, though it looks like I'm going to be taking PT every Tuesday until I get over this.

I feel really stupid, too. I have minor hammertoe, a condition that can be cured or at least have it's progression halted by wearing arch supports. I was told not to wear them for more than 2-3 hours at a time. What no one mentioned is that my feet might have different rates of reaction to the arches. I sprained/strained the tendons in my right leg, and my right leg only. Now I have to take therapy to restore the tendons before I can wear the arches again.

At least the VA is covering the PT since they issued the arch supports. We're just hpong the problem is resolved before next moth whenwe were planing on a trip to Orlando for the Halloween shows. Theme parks are no fun if you're limping through them.

sorry guys, update will come Sunday night, gone for weekend to wedding shenanigans (not my wedding, just my shenanigans. )

I notice that the rogue and inquisitor have been kind of quiet of late--think they ran afoul of the Dreaded Disappearing Dot and are waiting for someone else to say something?

we seem to have lost Aleksandr and Alzano.

i will begin looking for replacements.

Have you tried PMing them? You probably know this already, but if you don't post to a game or discussion thread for about a week (I think), the dot disappears and new posts aren't flagged. If they don't know that, they might think the campaign died. (OTOH, neither of them have posted anything under any of their aliases for over a month, and that's not good.)

ill send a pm to both and see what happens.

Just a heads-up: My family and I (me, hubby, daughter [who's now 19!)] are going on a vacation trip this week. We're leaving Tuesday and will be back late Sunday.

We're taking a lap-top so I should be able to post at least once a day except Tuesday.

Itinerary:
Tuesday - drive to Orlando
Wednesday- if need be finish drive, then alternate Universal/Islands Of Adventure
Thursday - alternate Universal/Islands Of Adventure, night time for the haunted stuff
Friday - drive to Busch Gardens Williamsburg, park stuff & haunted stuff
Saturday - drive to King's Dominion, park stuff and haunted stuff
Sunday - drive home, collapse

I'm not abandoning anything, but I may not be real coherent

To save time, DM Corvus, you have permission to NPC me during any fights.

Sounds like much fun will be had. Enjoy!

i too will be away this week, starting on thursday and ending next wednesday. ill try and push things ahead until i leave, but we'll have to pause from thursday until i get back.

I was thinking about what you should do if you don't hear back from Nostrus and osuracnaes, and it seems like there are a couple of options. First, write them out and continue as is. Between Peredur, Iesha, and Talia, we've got pretty-much all the bases covered except maybe dedicated sneaky person--we've got a primary melee (Peredur), skill monkey (Peredur), face (Iesha), divine caster/healer (Iesha), and arcane caster/secondary healer (Talia). What we lack is depth. We're kind of fragile.

OTOH, having that coverage makes the second option (recruit a couple of replacements) considerably less restrictive. There are no must-haves here. I mean, another fighter-type would be nice, but apart from that we're in good shape. If you decide to go with the second option, maybe post the recruitment before you leave and look at what comes in when you get back.

Just some thoughts, anyway.
