Just a note that after a morning post, I'm basically out the rest of the day tomorrow. Got a friend coming into town for hijinx. Should be back to regular schedule on Sunday morning.

GM Hmm |

I will be going to a friends house to play Fiasco for the first time.
Should be fun!
So, Keith and Andy... Can you both please pass the finger dexterity test and move your icons into the box on the first slide from the map link on my header?
Keith, may I have your character's application?
Thanks all!
Hmm

GM Hmm |

It is sounding like consensus is either "don't care" or Minotaurs. I'll move you on towards the minotaurs later this afternoon. Must have a walk first!
Hmm

![]() |

minotaurs is fine

![]() |

Nah, not a problem. I generally check in morning getting off work 8/9 AM EST, sometime late afternoon 4-6P and late evening so it shouldn't often be a problem.

Do I have a clear enough sight line to dimension door to the top of the north tower?
(I can take three people with me if others are willing)

GM Hmm |

Sounds great. I may have jumped the gun as well. I'll be leaving for Aikido soon tonight and wanted to make certain that everyone else had a chance to post while I was off in class.
Also... I may be still wired up on the hyper posting schedule that I kept up for Sky Key Solution, and may need to ease my hand off the throttle a bit... I needed to be continually pushing in Sky Key. Here? There is a little bit more time to make sure that everyone can post.
I'm glad to have your posting schedule, Joe. Does anyone else have one for me to keep in consideration? I know that Andy can only do early morning and late at night. If I have some idea of your posting schedules, I'll know when I can wait and when I need to push.
Thanks for not being mad at me, Joe!

GM Hmm |

Also, I gave Silbeg the opportunity to retcon his actions here in light of near-simultaneous posting.
Hmm

well I can do daytime ones, just it will be from my phone, which means I probably won't be posting real long or RPy ones.

GM Hmm |

Okay in light of recent feedback and comments, I am taking my hand off the throttle and slowing the pace down slightly. When would we like our botting to happen? After 24 hours feels too long to me, and results in multiple days for a combat round. Should I make it 12 and bot? Would that be a decent compromise? I'd love feedback on what will work for this group to get the pace right for you.
Also, Wednesdays are traditionally a slow-down period for me anyway. Between storytime in the morning and other night time activities (I have a concert that night, but usually GM) I tend to be far less available.
Thoughts? Comments? I'm happy to adjust as needed.
Hmm

![]() |

I've always been fine with 24 hours, but if we are going to do 12, I would recommend a slower bot on the weekends (Honestly, I rarely post on the weekends... but will make an effort).

![]() |

I'm happy with whatever pace you want, 5 hours (10 AM - 3 PM) does seem on the quick side to me though. Somewhere between 8-12 would make a lot of sense I would think as it would be more accommodating for sleep/work schedules. That said I know this scenario has a lot of things going on so whatever pace you need to set I'll work with.

GM Hmm |

Sigrid delurks to offer defamatory dialogue advice from a disgruntled dwarf!
Although I acknowledge your expertise in this area, I stand by my previous statement... no crappy, no flappy.
Hmm

![]() |

That's about twice a day and once on weekends. I can manage that.

GM Hmm |

Grigorii --
You're not flashing back to the last time you were in a mine when I GM'ed, are you? Ignore the mad sound of GM cackling in the background. It's utterly irrelevant.

Grigorii prefers elevators that descend a little more slowly than a dropped rock. Not to mention his head remaining on his shoulders.

GM Hmm |

Fair enough.
Everyone, I think that it is best if I do not hurl you towards the next encounter right now, as I am going off a concert tonight and will not be using my mobile devices.
So... If you guys want to RP going through lots of dark mine tunnels, feel free. I'll catch up with you tomorrow morning and we'll get started then.
Sound good?
Hmm

![]() |

Just got home, will post in the morning.

![]() |

I'm going on vacation and will have limited posting capacity Saturday evening through Thursday. I've left bot instructions in my profile.

Sorry that I took so long to get back to you. My son had oral surgery this morning. He's now fine and eating homemade soup. And you're all up!

Hope he's doing ok, and RL > game, always.

He is doing fine. His evil mom talked to him all about rusty wrenches and big hefty ropes attached to door knobs, so he found the actual procedure a relief.
Worst. Mom. Ever.

I think guys that I will take this weekend off. I'm GMing two games in a row on Saturday and Sunday and need to spend some more time prepping

![]() |

Sorry about that, Pai.
Magnus isn't at all subtle, nor does he really understand subtlety. It is a good thing for his family that his sister is the older of the two (and that, as far as I know, Taldor doesn't work on strict primogeniture).

![]() |

Lol, that's fine. It's much funnier this way.
I picture Pai toeing the ground, staring at her feet, like a 12 year old caught in a lie.

Now that is a funny image. And pretty apt for an illusionist gnome..
I think that's about as opposite of a character as you can get from Magnus. And there is nothing malicious about his question.. in fact, it would be pretty funny seeing his confusion.
Also, you should add that description to your post, about Pai toeing the ground, etc.

What an awesome bit of RP here this morning. You made the GM laugh!

![]() |

SO, FYI - don't forget my aura's if you are within 10;
Aura of Courage: +4 morale vs fear
Aura of Resolve: +4 vs charm
If we've got a real baddie on our hands, I will use Aura of Resolve to give everyone in 10' of me Smite Evil (+6 to hit, +11 damage, +6 deflection)

@GM Hmm -- as a reminder, Magnus has Step Up, in case it comes into play, he will always use the feat at the soonest opportunity (The first time an enemy tries to 5' step back)

Way to go guys!
I'm still cruising, and it looks like y'all are, too!

GM Hmm |

We're missing you!!!
Also, my... it takes a long time to compose a villain post at this level.
Hmm

GM Hmm |

Off to Blackbelt class. Will deal with all your lovely posts when I come back.
Hugs,

Where do you want to move?
I will try to post tonight, but every body part is aching from Aikido... How many places can I hurt? All of them, I think. It was a good training session, but tough.
Hmm

![]() |

Probably a good thing to put that minotaur down when we did, though kinda sad, his morale condition is nasty!
It would have been 2 misses and a hit, I'm more than willing to say it hits due to the darkness. Though I don't think I would have needed to save on the misses.

GM Hmm |

I rolled everything at once, then edited. Hence reflex saves on the misses.
Hmm

![]() |

Ahh makes sense. I thought of that after I typed but didn't figure to go back.

![]() |

@Vendel, there actually is a reason.
That is, filling the meditation crystals, which take a channel each to fill... but, I can certainly be one or two short if we need it. We've been lucky so far, and I haven't had to use a LOT of healing, and this is a multiple day adventure...

My husband is kidnapping me tonight for our anniversary -- I'll catch you all again on Sunday.
Hmm

GM Hmm |

Yay! I'm glad that the grand musical number is appreciated! I'm just glad that they got to sing once before you killed them all!
Hmm

I don't think it affected anything, but the morale bonuses to Will saves from good hope and Inspired Rage don't stack.

GM Hmm |

It didn't affect anything but good to know.
