Ok! Learning time for Dr. Evans again. Veronica, I'm don't understand why you get 2,3, and 4 level spells already. Seems really overpowered! Though I think the spell you just cast is pretty awesome.
Tasche Madden |
Crenshaw, I think he implied that there's multiple people in there. And given that both Veronica and Tasche haven't found their missing kids yet, I'd assume that's where they are. preferably we save the kids either way, but still something to consider.
That's a good point Evans. I didn't even notice. Not sure why it should be a fourth level spell anyway though. It doesn't feel that overpowered.

I guess a good elephant rifle shot between the eyes would do.

It certainly would! Would you care to do the honours?
If no one catches him this round, then my heightened speed will let me next turn.
Hostage negotiation is going well...
Also, if you don't mind, I'm not quite going to introduce your missing children just quite yet.
It's something nice but overall it's distracting from the primary plot.But I may introduce them in somewhere between one of the books, if it's possible.
Sounds like a plan. Certainly increases the dramatic tension and mystery. I'm game.

Sorry for the inconsistent posting everyone. It was my first week at uni this week and I go 4 days so I've been pretty overloaded with getting assessment schedules and study and traveling there and back.
I still want to play, but I'll let everyone know if it gets too much for me to keep going.
Dr. Charles Evans |
I think sebastian is the only one with healing, and not sure if he has any prepared. Veronica hasn't posted for a very long time and I'm not sure if she is still a part of this.
Veronica Belle |
Yeah sorry. I check mostly everyday and for some reason I wasn't getting any notifications that anyone had posted anything.
I only look at my campaigns page to see if there are any (X new) links.
The only reason I found out about the game posts was because of the new discussion post, which is weird.
Again, sorry for the inactivity. Super glad Lamm is still alive. Not sure Veronica would continue with this group if they killed her only lead XD
DM waz up? |
They killed her only lead, unfortunately
Lamm was at 0 when he jumped in, and seeing that it's only standard actions that cause you to bleed out, he made a move to get away. unfortunately he was then shot.
The last round spent underwater would have killed him.
Luckily there is still lamm's documents in his office.
Dr. Charles Evans |
This is annoyingly inconvenient. I don't know how we could have done it any differently. thoroughly unsatisfying. But I guess that is how the cookie crumbles
Dr. Charles Evans |
If you go underwater unconscious, you die really fast. That is in the rules somewhere, so that is probably what happened.
But yeah... We only actually damaged him twice, for about 11 HP. So he wasn't much of a boss; more of an old man really.
Dr. Charles Evans |
I'm enjoying this interchange between the party, but also, it has been 12 days since a GM post, and I just sound like a broken record now but have to ask, is this thread going anywhere? We need more direction than we are getting. I'm surprised everyone has stuck around this long honestly. I believe this story could be great but we need more GM posts.
Or- we need to be told, ahead of time, that the GM is out for a week or two. No word at all is not polite.
Tasche Madden |
I am too. As much as I'm really enjoying this roleplaying, this conversation is starting to get far too philosophical for the middle of a crime lord's hideout.
DM Waz Up does have a history of abandoning games. While I truly hope that isn't the case here, it is a possibility. If he doesn't come back, what will we do? Abandon it? Try to hire a new GM? Have on of ourselves step up?
Dr. Charles Evans |
I'm already in like 8 threads and GM'ing another, so I am maxed out. If someone else wanted to take the reigns that would be great, but our GM had put considerable work into converting into the Victorian era. I hope he comes back.
Tasche Madden |
8 threads? That is a lot. No wonder your standards are so much higher than mine. You are a professional. This is only my second play by post game.
I'd been planning to start GMing a game here in a few weeks, albeit one set very far from Steampunk Golarion. I wouldn't mind taking over (although I was enjoying Tasche) except that I have nowhere specific to go. Thankfully, we're actually at a nice break point in the campaign. The search for the two missing kids gives us a lead to go anywhere the replacement GM wants.
Pulling APs of my shelves, I have both Shattered Star and Mummy's Mask available. Both actually lend themselves fairly well to an adaptation. Shattered Star is an urban adventure (like we were already doing) and adventuring in pyramids is a tradition for some steampunky/pulpy adventurers (The Mummy, Indiana Jones, etc). I could also look into getting Crimson Throne, or writing my own material (quality not guaranteed).
So to be a little more concise, I don't mind. Urhal can take over. I could too. Lets see what the others think, and take a vote (I won't cast a vote until I know the full list of volunteers and options). And of course, DM Waz Up could return at any time and force us out of this near baseless speculation and wild hypothesizing.
Dr. Charles Evans |
I made this character for an urban adventure... Vigilantes don't really benefit at all from their social identity if things are just a dungeon crawl. So Shattered Star sounds interesting to me, or just continue along with Curse of the Crimson Throne, if you had it or could get it. "You" meaning whoever is willing to lead. We would also need at least one other player.
Tasche Madden |
I understand your point, and have unfortunate news. Shattered Star parades itself as an urban adventure, but really turns into a superdungeon halfway through.
So both of those are off the table. I'm not against buying Crimson Throne, but it may take a little time.
Dr. Charles Evans |
Well, I guess a superdungeon would be okay, after we gain several levels. I mean, based on our pace, that would be far away into the future, and anything could happen. I could also multiclass into a barbarian or something like that.
Arratu |
Well, if someone wants to take initiative for moving things forward, I would love to do more with this character. I will keep following this thread in case! And if the GM comes back, that too, if he can commit to posting 1/day like originally stated. (or even a few times a week).
Arratu |
there is also this recruitment thread, which I just found (not that I want to compete against you guys again! But oh well, keeping things honest).

Arratu |
I just posted Arratu and a new alter ego into that recruitment thread above. I probably won't get in, but in any case, I am officially withdrawing from this thread, even if GM waz up comes back. I really wasn't happy with the way the game was run starting about the 2nd week of it. And I think he really unfairly killed Gaedren on us. I felt that was intentional, for what reason I am still scratching my head.
A little miffed he left us without any word. Unless of course he is sitting in a hospital somewhere, in that case I understand and say no hard feelings.
DM waz up? |
TEST TEST! sorry for my sudden disappearance, but life hit me hard. I lost internet, had to pick up shop and move, and generally speaking it wasn't good. I'm sorry for being unable to let you all know of my situation, but I'm gonna try to get back I this game. Let me know if you'd like to continue this game or if my absence has unfortunately put a damper on this game.
Dr. Charles Evans |
Sorry, man. Life does happen. I have moved on now, doing some other things. If you had been able to give us a heads up that there would be a three week pause, I would have been understanding and waited. You could have even done it from a library or coffeeshop if you don't have internet. But just leaving with no warning wasn't cool.
