Mummy's Mask

Game Master Samy

Apologies for the absent posting people - I am travelling since very early Monday, and thought I would have time to post. I was wrong.

I am resuming posting today, and will be travelling back home tomorrow, so should be catching up in the evening, unless I crash from exhaustion :P

No worries Polux, post when you can and safe travels! :)

I'm still here. Just biding my time until everyone gets their 15 minutes and we start up proper!

Just watching and letting you have your time, but present.

We're just trying to finish up Ra-Khefer here and then see what nonsense enlightened desert wisdom the lovely and talented Deseri has for us.

After that, we'll be good to go!

Harmose

nonsense is more accurate

You jealous darling?

You know... I'm trying to decide who would be jealous of whom, considering that I've had characters get married to characters from both of you! It's PbP polyamoury!

You lucky fool. Ah well. The more the merrier right?

Though unless she and I start together its polygamy. You greedy fool. So greedy

Yes, Edelhur, Lady Ladile and Death's Adorable Apprentice are all people I've exchanged romantic sentiments with in PbP. (It's not just greedy... it's incestuous!)

Oh but Harmose, you were my first!

Wait. That didn't come out right.

More accurately, this was the first of my PbP games in which a character of mine entered into a romance/relationship with another person. I say person because while a PC/PC romance is easier to manage, a PC/NPC one is also possible depending on the circumstances!

Since this game's start, I've had one character in another game begin a romance with a fellow PC, yet another game where there's something of a pseudo-romance/love triangle that's been happening involving my character and two other PCs, and yet another game where the half-elf sorcerer PC is fascinated by my catfolk ranger. I've written more romance hooks into character backstories and now I actually consider the sexuality and uh...level of experience of each character that I make or character idea that I come up with. Most of them end up being straight (and so far I only play female characters) and most of them are inexperienced, but I've had a few characters surprise me as well ;)

Ronk (Deseri) was my PbP first, followed swiftly by you, my lovely!

I just go with the flow of the moment, but try to keep my characters consistent. If they're swept of their feet, well then they are swept off their feet :D

Sometimes they sweep others off their feet!

Can happen :D

That what happened with our goblins. Though other games has had some relationships.

Sorry for the delay, my gramma died.

So sorry to hear that. Feel free to take some time if you need it.

I'm sorry for your loss Camris. No rush on posting, take whatever time you need.

I appreciate that guys. But there is really no where to go but forward.

I understand. Sorry for your loss.

Camris, I am also sorry for your loss. Losing family is hard.

* Hugs *

Hmm

Sorry for your loss, Camris. Try to remember the good things that she brought to your life and focus on those.

Thoughts are definitely with you, Camris.

I echo the thoughts and prayers of the others here, Camris.

I think it's probably time to move us forward into gameplay for all, correct? So I'm doing so.

So direct and authoritative!

Yeah, that's me. Authoritative.

(Boy, am I in trouble with this group.)

Hey, author is part of the word. You should be fine!

Let's do it!

Ready to get rolling here! :D

All right, I figure you will be wanting to head into the Necropolis next, although feel free to tell me different. The group has scored a map of the tomb (that may or may not be entirely accurate) and is viewable in the player folder (let me know if you can't access it). Assuming you travel in the daytime, it's about a half hour walk from the Necropolis gate to the site. Locations A1-A10 have been explored and their descriptions and contents can be reread in the gameplay thread -- I'm not going to repost all of them unless explicitly asked to. The mirror in A9 remains covered with a blanket unless you chose to remove it when exiting the tomb last time. The only way forward that is currently known to you is the doors from A9 to A11.

Doing a final review of the character list, please make one final pass of your own entry and let me know anything I've gotten wrong.

* I have assigned the Necropolis district to Polux since all others already had picked districts
* For Qari, Polux and Deseri I didn't find who they had chosen as their contact, please let me know, or you may also choose for me to assign one for you
* Qari, Polux, what are your regional traits?
* Polux, region?
* Polux, Deseri, deity?

I will go with Hathor for my deity. I think it fits. And for the contact I will ask that you pick one.

I added a regional trait. I picked Farhaan as my possible contact.

I think I will go with the Numerologist regional trait.

As far as contacts, I'm gonna bet on the option 'Dredge (genderless halfling) or Eswab (female), a fixer/fence/trafficker unaffiliated with
any specific gangs'

And for deity, Polux does not follow any particular one :P

I see one mistake, Samy. Turel is Lawful Good now. We all agreed that he was our purest soul, remember?

Thank you, Harmose! Fixed!

Everything looks good, all the boxes on the character list seem to be checked.

Deseri, I will assign you the contact "Sehhosep Naahn". She is "instructor at the Hall of Blessed Rebirth, the city's medical academy and embalmer's guild", so essentially a doctor at city hospital in our terms. I know that will come to be of use. ;)

You guys did a lot of RP just now, and I'm going to recommend that if you established any facts about where you're from, your important people, your important historical events, and so on, you copy them onto your profile where they'll be easier to find for future reference. If something in your profile page's background section speaks to me, you may be rewarded (or may not, depending on how busy I am) with a homespun subplot based around your character.

Samy that works for me I don't have to change anything but the last line of what I had written up. I did not realize I did not post it. This has been rectified. Let me know if I need more detail on anything.

She would be looking for work so that she can repay their kindness. As to the relationship aspect I have not problems with it though Deseri is rather flighty and oblivious. But if it is for love and affection she would probably go for it.

And the leg thing never heals, because it is a curse, so that should make Sehhosep crazy :)

Sehhosep and Bentu would be aware that her physical featured have changed since they would have seen the freakout over it. And is there anything you are wanting to add to the vision she had?

Not at this point. ;)

People, just wanted to let you all know I will be away for the whole next week on family vacations.

Keep it up! And bot me as needed.

Even if your character doesn't speak Osiriioni, feel free to peek at the last Osironi spoiler. I'm very proud of how obnoxious this song is.

How do I do the weird text for other languages?

What I've seen most people do is pick a real-world language using the Google Translate function and just copy-paste the text. Different people use different real-world languages as stand-ins for a Golarion language, so sometimes you just have to go with what you think seems most fitting.

For example, I've seen some posters use Hebrew to represent Celestial but I've also seen others use other languages like Armenian.

That makes the sense. I will do this!

Does that mean I get to peck his eyes out? Do they taste like bugs or grubs?

They'd probably pop like grubs, but something tells me that Polux might still have a use for them. Besides, they're pretty :D

Happy Thanksgiving to all the US folks and Happy Thursday for all those that live elsewhere in our wide world! :)

It was a Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone had a lovely Thursday, wherever you live!

Marching order: we need trap spotters and beefy people near the front. Who wants to volunteer?
