Map of Tarsis.Imagine the crater next to the city being filled with water. That entire stretch of land is all port. In addition, the wall running out into the water is also a man made port and the wall is a combination of wall and dock. The elven ship is at the very end.
Another Tarsis Map The Cathedral to Branchala is just to the northeast of the Central Plaza. It is not represented on the map but I wanted to give the group a sense for the city.
House Rules for Hero Points:
Hero Point Mechanics:
1) One permanent Hero Point may be used to avoid a final death scenario allowing a narrow cinematic escape,
2) One temporary Hero Point may be used if you are between -1 and -9 hit points to stabilize yourself to prevent further blood loss,
3) Temporary Hero Points may be expended to power Feats. These grant a lasting bonus for a one scene or one round duration depending on the feat description,
4) One temporary Hero Point grants a character a chance to supplement their d20 roll by 1d6 and add the result (whatever it was - no re-roll) to the d20 result,
5) No more than one Hero Point may be expended per round.
Optional rules mostly in the form of New Feats for Hero Points:
Arcane Surge (Prerequisites - Arcane Class) (Allows wielder to increase a spell DC by 3 for 1 round by expending a Hero Point),
Attune Item (Prerequisites - A Weapon of Legacy) (Allows wielder to expend one hero point to add +3 to attack and damage for the scene with chosen item),
Defensive Ward (Prerequisites - Dodge) (Allows wielder to expend one hero point to give yourself a +3 Luck bonus to AC for the scene),
Divine Surge (Prerequisites - Divine Class) (Allows wielder to increase a spell DC by 3 for 1 round by expending a Hero Point),
Heroic Feat (Prerequisites - None) (Any saving throw successfully made 10 points above an effects DC automatically allows the character to regain 1 used Hero Point),
Heroic Grace (Prerequisite - None) (Allows wielder to expend one hero point to add +1 to all saving throws or +3 to one saving throw for one scene),
Heroic Quickness (Prerequisites - Improved Initiative) (Allows wielder to expend one hero point to add +3 to Initiative checks),
Manifesting Surge (Prerequisites - Psionic Class) (Allows wielder to increase a powers save DC by 3 for 1 round by expending a Hero Point).
Playing in 20+ games and running 26 (soon to be 27) is time consuming. Outside of the boards I have a fairly busy work schedule and of course a life!
Often I find that if I fall behind in updates, I need to make time to simply update a Discussion Thread to inform the PCs of a particular game that I am either going to be posting later in the day or week or will be on a break form the boards for one reason or another.
To save time updating so many damn threads I am going to open this thread and link all of my DM aliases (and PC aliases) to this thread to inform people as to status.
Of course if people feel the need to ask other questions outside of PbP feel free to do so but mainly this will be a thread dedicated to ensuring that my PCs know my status and to assure everyone that even though I may have some absences away from the boards (or particular games) that new thread will always be up to date with my status.
The game goes at its own pace. With 8 players things can tend to be slow, on top of that I run 26 other games. If the pace is too slow for you I have no problem if you feel the need to withdraw, I won't take it personally!
That being said if you check my Shadow's Status link I have it as one of the games I'll be updating tonight and you will also see why my posting was slow last weekend into early this week.

Hey guys. I think I might have to withdraw from this one. Hope that doesn't offend anyone or put a cramp in the game. I'm just not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. And hope that's alright. Also think maybe less players may make it move faster for those that are playing. Don't hate me :)

No worries Red, this one has been a slow burn, totally understood!
I'll not re recruit. Have not heard from Zsar in a bit either as I believe he has had some RL issues cutting into his time.

I will be out of reach from friday night to tuesday afternoon. I am going to my sister's house and then on to watch the eclipse from inside the path of totality. I may have occasional access on saturday, but I am not planning on posting anything.
Is Eddie involved in this combat? I believe I still don't have access to my psychic powers/
I am not posting I/C until next week but I did notice this post by you Eddie, you do indeed have access to your powers, you have yet to manifest them, you can instantly manifest them it is just the will to utilize them that you have lacked.
Presumably, I/C their use will shock even you!
So yes, if you want to be, you can be involved in the combat, sorry if I did not include you, just a mere oversight on my part! My apologies.

Hooray! This past week was the end of the 1st grading period. It is funny how all of a sudden kids and parents care about grades the last day of the term.

Just a heads up, but the Paizo site is being extremely problematic the last few days, seeing as I am constantly getting logged out. My posting rate may be affected, if for no other reason than the sheer annoyance of having to log in again and again and being unable to see if there are new posts until I do so.

Just a heads up, but I have been without internet at home these last few days due to a screw-up courtesy of my internet provider. I was hoping it would have been fixed by now but that is not the case. I am not sure how long it will take, but at least a few more days seems like a safe enough bet. Thus, my posting will be... erratic.
I finally have internet back. The site still seems to be logging me out randomly now and then, but that is small potatoes compared to not having access entirely for a couple of weeks.
I will be posting later today once I catch up with what has happened so far.

Obviously, the surprise effect of "the pilgrim is actually a PC, and soon to be an ally" has passed, so let me take advantage of this lull to say hello! Happy to be joining the adventure, and I look forward to seeing how the story moves forward!

Assuming that this campaign isn't dead – Shadow has had RL issues, and has got a lot on his plate, so I would totally get it – can I make the odd request that all the information at the top of the page be place in the Campaign Info Tab? My OCD acts up every time I see my current campaigns, and this one takes half the page!
I know. It's ridiculous.
That being said, here's to this campaign starting anew in the new year! Happy holidays!
