OK folks! We are on HIGH baby alert!!
Anytime in the next week or so, and very possibly this weekend. I'll let you all know if/when it happens.
Nebbin has horns now? Interesting.
We're such a freak show.
I picked up that rage power the previous level and I haven't raged since. I've been waiting quite some time to play that out. And happily it's a situation where it probably won't cost us too much in combat. I was a little worried what the circumstances would be.
We're such a freak show.
..said every adventuring party ever.
And now you hopefully didn't horn up too early....
Also, LEVEL UP!!!
Not really an exciting level for Saoirse, new mercy and stat increases. Picking Shaken for my mercy and updating my profile.
OK, Nebbin should be updated now.
He adds in a rage power (ground breaker, which seems more than appropriate for him), plus some skills and whatnot. Can attack twice in a round now when he gets a standard action. Look out demons!
Sorry I was out this weekend. Ended up on a semi-vacation (that I greatly needed).
I could use some help with spell selection. I only have a decent Charisma (16), so my DC’s are only okay on offensive spells.
The ones I’m eyeing: Prayer (decent, dependable), Stone Shape (dependable, situational), Summon Monster III (Lantern Archon is really nice), Dispel Magic, Chain of Perdition, Archon’s Aura.
How many do you get?
You tend to wade into melee, so my thought might be stone shape. It's got lots of potential uses, but it doesn't take up your combat actions. I normally love dispel magic, but I assume Lucius will be able to handle that.
Lantern Archon looks cool, and Dispel seems like a solid choice.
Just the 1 level 3 spell. :/
I'l wait to see what Lucius is taking. (and his thoughts)
OK Folks. Wife's getting induction tomorrow for baby, so either tomorrow or Wednesday. I'll def be out this week from now on, I'll try to check and update but its not likely.
Monday I should be able to update at least a bit.
I get Suggestion for free next level. Fireball would be fun.
Haste and pellet blast might be better, but less on theme. Could take Fly. Summon monster iii could be a good option, and on theme, but I worry that it isn't as 'spammable' as other spells.
Fortunately can use mythic points to cast dispel or other situationally good spells.

Good luck!
Tentatively took fireball. A new fire spell means I could trade out scorching ray, but I'm not sure that's necessary.
DM Pendin's son was born a couple days ago. All seem to be doing well...
Hey guys, I'm getting my office painted starting tomorrow so my posting may be a little spotty for a few days. (Of course, it's possible I move my computer and everything into another room, because 24 hours without being online could be too much for me.)
For the games I'm a player in, it'll probably just be Monday I'd be out of touch, as I could post updates at work when I go back Tuesday.
Jacob, thanks for letting everyone know!!
Yes, Alistair Miles Howell was born 11/25/15 @ 6:03 pm weighing 9 lbs. 2 oz.
We're tired, but starting to get into a routine. He's been pretty good to be honest but it's still a lot of up and down in the middle of the night.
Tomorrow I will update the gameplay!
Congrats! It’s a fantastic time.
Though, you missed a perfectly good opportunity for Thurston Howell IV, but we’ll let it slide.
Sorry for my absence, everyone. With the speed of this game over the last few months, coupled with how busy I've been on and off the boards, I've just struggled to find the motivation to level Thom and get caught up.
I'm doing so now.
Finally updated. Went with Dispel Magic.
Also, Divine Protection took an errata hit ... dang. Ah well.
Is Nebbin beginning to develop romantic feelings for Saoirse? :O that's a huge can of worms to open up.
Beginning?
;)
I am on vacation, visiting friends and family, until the 31st. I have internet, but will not be able to post as easily.
I'm also pretty spotty on login until after Christmas. I'll update as I can but being the first time I've been back around family for the holidays and the addition of the new one, we've been swamped!
Yah, once the end of tomorrow hits, I'm on Christmas time (likely through the new year).
Sorry.
No worries. This time of year often slows down (and I've been spending my time with the wifey). Happy holidays everyone and here's to more demon killing and faster posting in the New Year!
Happy [Insert Holiday Here]! I'll check up until Christmas Eve, then I'll say let's break until after the new year.
My new year's resolution is honestly to make this game go faster (because it really has been MY fault!) and to be more consistent.
And thank you all for sticking around and making this one of the most memorable games I've had the pleasure of running. I really love each and every one of your characters!
Ross, if you could pull strings to get me into Google, that'd be the best Xmas present EVER! :)
(I actually did apply for a couple positions at JPL. There is a chance we could be moving BACK to California!)
Just wanted to drop a quick apology into all my games. The days between Christmas and New Year turned out to be a lot more chaotic/busy than I’d expected (despite — or may because of — them all being work-free).
I’ll be able to start catching up tomorrow. I’ll try to post tomorrow, then with my usual consistency thereafter.
Thanks for the patience, everyone.
Good news: special (expensive) formula seems to not upset baby.
Bad news: I'm waiting till tomorrow to update so I can finally get more than 2 hours of sleep.
Sorry for short notice, bit of an emergency with the baby (nothing life threatening), but I likely won't be able to update until late tomorrow at the earliest.
Trust me, I understand.
I'll be out of town through Thursday; please feel free to DMPC me as needed. As always, Nebbin does what he's told and smashes things.
OK! I promise tomorrow! After having a couple days filled with doctor appointments for the little guy, the rest of the family went through a flu bug. I'm gonna catch some z's finally and I will update tomorrow.
I seriously need to get the Fast Healing mythic ability. :/
Folks, either tomorrow or Monday I should be here. Lost my remote job and have to turn in PC. Should have home PC set up soon.
Tactical use of the army will provide you as a small group with bonuses. For example if you want your army to divide, or to cause a distraction so you can enter, or man the siege weapons, etc. Come up with innovative things and I will definitely give you bonuses or something equally innovative to reward.
Sure I'll go the bridge, but quick question, do you want to try to send a message or something to Aron or one of the other NPCs to get army folk to man those towers? Or are you going to leave them empty until you get back to the army?
We should definitely try to get these towers manned. Otherwise this has just been wasted time.
Keeping people up onto these towers would be nice to do, but I don't know if any of us have Message... I certainly don't. Either way, reconnecting with the army will be needed.
None of us has message (I believe Lucius chose daze instead.)
However, it might not have enough range anyway. Lucius can spend a mythic point to send a whispering wind, though, and I think we should.
OK, home PC is good to go now after some snafu reinstalling win10. Tomorrow I'll be posting.
On the bright side, I may have a new job lined up to break the current jobless status.
OK gang, potential bad news. With everything going on in life, I just don't know if I can give you the game you deserve. That said, I really don't want to shut it down but I also don't want you to be disappointed in how this game is going.
Thoughts?
I've been enjoying it, and I'd be happy to keep along at whatever pace.
Thanks Ross.
I can't promise a much faster pace at the moment, but I do promise I will see it through to the end.
Plus...I really like ya'lls characters.
I love Nebbin and think it's a really good group of characters, but I'll admit I do find the pace frustrating. If you don't think it's going to get slower and everyone else wants to continue, I will also, but I think the players need to be really committed. If we wait a week after Pendin posts, and then it takes a week for him, we're never going to get anywhere. Pacing's everything, IMO, in PBP and we need to do as much as possible to keep it going.
