First of, I want to apologize.
I'm truly sorry if your loosing interest in playing. We are all here for the same thing; to have fun.
Having said that. Due to circumstances I've had less time to spend on here making posts (my time will fluctuate a lot and as far as I can tell at the moment will continue to do so) which combined with the fact that all though I had an idea on what I wanted Naxx to be when we started the character still hasn't "gell-ed" for me which makes me hesitant to post anything other then reactive posts as opposed to being pro-active.
Which isn't fair to the rest of you. You shouldn't have to drag me along through the story.
If it's all right with you I'd like to stick around to see how the trial ends (I'm curious to find out about the verdict/what will happen to Andrew) but after that I feel the best thing to do is to step down and make room to give someone else a chance to play in the game. It's a great game and it deserves good people.
I'd like to think that if I had more time to post and had a better idea/feel for Naxx I'd have made a better contribution to the story, but I think it's better to look at this realistically and step down now than promise I will do better and most likely end up not living up to my promise(s).

I used the sell price 50% without my tiefling discount :/
Thoughts?
I'm fine with these items being sold, but perhaps we aught to have Naxx sell them. I'm afraid I may be garnering too much I'll will from the trial and there seems to be a bit of a bias against you around here.

Truer words have never been spoken. Naxx care to join me?
Sure, if you think they will have less bias towards me ;)

Can't be worse than me.

I'm typing up the testimony, I just don't want to forget anything. I'll have it up by tonight. Thanks for the patience.
Long day. I'll get a post up tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

No worries, hope all is well.
Did anyone else feel like that was a punch in the gut? So what do you all want to do, hang around and see if you can spring Andrew or chase after Grine and Vork?
Is this the end of Book 2? Seems weird that the climax would be decided by a single player's Diplomacy rolls unless I am missing something coming late to the party.
Anywho - happy to move along in any direction once everyone has had time to process. In the meantime, remember - IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT. IT IS JUST A GAME. If anyone needs an Internet hug - let me know. I also have a large cache of rainbow unicorn prints on the side of conversion vans that I use as a pick me up that I'd be happy to share. YMMV
Good thing we arent evil... would burn the place down yelling "how do you like it huh?!"
But alas. I am not. Maybe we still have something we can do before then. Last minute rescue

Yeah, the trial is designed to test roleplay and is largely decided by Diplomacy checks, governed by the witness. You have to overwhelmingly win to have the Beast walk free due to a variety of factors (prejudice, caught in the act of armed robbery, previous testimonials).
Once you guys lost the first round, it became hard to overwhelmingly win, though you killed it on the second. There were two points of evidence you failed to mention on Day 3 to boost your claims which was problematic.

Yea, We didn't stand a chance against Morast since we were kicked out, due to Gaarm's anger at the people. :) Poor Giant. Oh well, one less one to kill in Giantslayer as he would have surely been recruited.
As a bit of a completist, what did we miss?
So is this the end of Book 2 and we move to Book 3? Zakon has some personal quests, ie the Chymic Works and Vork and Grine, but I wanted to make sure I say in the flow of the party.
We that sucked. I can say we definitely gave it our best. I too am curious what we missed. And as terrible as it sounds as a Paladin, I have to respect lawful authority....
Now that the trial is over, I think I'm going to make a Lady Eleanor profile.
The two pieces of evidence for the Sanctuary were the lack of mentioning Dr. Brada's name in the journal found in the secret storage room at the Chymic Works and there was a visitor's log at the ruins of the Sanctuary that you could have found with Vorkstag and Grine's names.
Additionally, you could have opted to use Speak with Dead on the corpse of Dr. Brada. Combined, those would have given you a substantial bonus on the Diplomacy check.
As for the rest of the book, there is still a dungeon crawl that will become apparent once we wrap up the execution.
Would the sanctuary have mattered much if he was still found guilty of the first crime?
What say you all - I asked in character. Spring Andrew or let the brute perish?
You could have saved him still by submitting all of the evidence and/or rolling better than a 4. :D Either way, let us move forward.
Either way, let us move forward.
Ready!
Just a quick update for all the games I am running or are involved in with you ... as you know my commitment to PbP is 100% and I take it very seriously. With that in mind some very real RL issues have unexpectedly sprung up yesterday.
I will essentially be offline until Sunday at the earliest.
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience it causes and look forward to resuming normal gaming routines next week.

My wife just gave birth to our first baby, a healthy little boy.
It's hard to believe it, but when we started this PbP together, my wife and I had not yet even met.
Congratulations - praying for you and your family.
Congrats! That is awesome. :)
Congrats!

@Naxx: You've been cranking along for the whole journey and I'd like to give you praise for that. It honestly is quite difficult for people to even stick around this long. In the time we have done this AP, I've seen proliferous GMs and players drop out from the entire PbP scene (and from this particular AP), sometimes mid-game. Thanks for coming this far.
Enjoy life and do what you love!

As for the rest of you, I think I want to continue with just the four remaining.

I'm sorry to hear that. :(
I hope everything is ok.
Thanks guys. A bit calmed down. Will be back by tomorrow i hope.
Thanks for patience
Uh, it stopped updating me when there were new posts :(
Seems that was what the fix was about today.
Everyone level up to 6!
Dragon disciple here i come! :)
Ohh, nice :)
I was a little reluctant to take remove curse as a spell known, but then I thought about it. Curses fit into the theme of this AP quite a bit, and it really fits into Eleanor's theme of relieving suffering. Plus, if she had a choice in the matter (I'm not sure if she really does, her power is more bequeathed then studied) she would want to help her long injured party member.
I'm back - what mess did you all get into while I was away?
Nice new avatar.
So I was reading and trying to catch up, some questions as there is over a book of this AP that I am unfamiliar with.
Shudderwood and Schloss Caromarc - have you all been there before?
Why are we going to Schloss Caromarc if Andrew ran into the Shudderwood?
Just trying to understand where we are in the game before I put up my IC post.
I'm back - what mess did you all get into while I was away?

thanks :)
Andrew ran off towards his Master who is Schloss Caromarc.
Basically at the beginning of this adventure Gaarm was cursed by an iron Maiden. Some of the spikes were taken and I have slowly been tracking them down, which is now pointing to the Shudderwood.
We have been to neither place before and they are two separate and completely different locations from what I understand.
So I am having some difficulties lately focusing my attention on what we should be doing. It seems that Eleanor and Gaarm have a handle on it so I am going to follow your leads here.
Also, GM Thank you for the 1st and 2nd levels formulae, and few bonus 3rd level. Zakon is updated and spent some serious crunch time. What are you rebuild rules? In my other AP, the GM lets us rebuild in between books. I was hoping once I get another 12,000 gp to go Dex w/ the agile Amulet of Mighty Fists.
Back to the adventure - thinking about the Shudderwood being famous for its werewolves, I looked to find something that would overcome DR/Silver. Now, none of my weapons are +3, and if I use a spiked gauntlet then I cannot Spellstrike and my unarmed damage goes down. There the silver weapon blanch can cover 10 arrows per batch but I am no archer.
Anyone else think about a workaround on that? Anyone want to fire off a batch of silver arrows?
Nizvit usually deals with most threats the same way. Lots and lots of fire

1) Sorry for the delay.
2) Gaarm has the right of it.
The AP is very heavy-handed with your progression, however I am content to let you make the decisions on your choice of progression. If you want to let the Andrew/Mob situation play out off-screen and head directly to the Shudderwood, then that is fine.
3) I am going to be slowing down in my posts, so let's try to make all of our posts huge. Additionally, I would like to invite people to add their own flair, such as interactions with shopkeeps and innkeeps, or perhaps their own goings-on while in town with or without the group. Since my updates will come less frequently, this will let you flex your creative muscles and perhaps add in some RP that we might not otherwise see from your characters.
4) Rebuilds at any time are fine if there is a reason. Good reasons: roleplay; fine-tuning a concept; fixing a bold choice (such as testing out how a class dip might work and finding it sucks!); lack of interest in playing that character anymore (though this would just be changing to a new character not rebuilding). Bad reasons: trying to mix-max for the next book; repeated changes to the core of your character without good reason. With that in mind, I trust you all and you can make small changes to your characters without running it by me. Just throw it up in the Discussion so I am aware of the change.
I had a bit of a relapse with my depression... will try to get things back on track asap
I'm sorry Seth (or is it Lenus-Nel?), I will keep you in my prayers.
Sorry to hear that. Hope you get better soon. :)
I will be leaving for vacation in Mexico this weekend and will be gone through the beginning of May. It says I have Wifi there so I should be able to still post once a day at night.
Hey guys! I have really lost interest in PF and PbP recently and have decided to take a break fully. In July, I am going to revisit coming back and, if I do, I will message each of you and see if you are up for continuing the AP.
I really appreciate everyone sticking it out for so long!
