Do you folks wish to follow either of the routes suggested to you by Grishelmuk (one through the petrified forest, the other through a demons layer and the croning ritual), or do something else entirely?
Not entirely clear from her speech, but only one person would have to do the croning ritual to safely pass the second way.
Shanya |
I'm more inclined to go through the petrified forest, myself. I don't want to see any of our teammates get croned--I'm not sure if it's permanent or not.
DM Ranginui |
A solid arcana or spellcraft might help on that matter, once you've a chance to study the wards. Grishelmuk's vague description does help much in the moment.
Avora Teremocles |
Petrified forest, if we're taking votes.
DM Ranginui |
Seems to be headed towards petrified forest. I'll give it a little bit to allow for dissenting opinions.

Quick Update:
We're approaching the end of escrow and I'll be moving into my new digs shortly afterward. I should have my computer set up first thing and I'll be back up to 50% posting capacity at least. I apologize for the slackiness this past couple months.
DM Ranginui |
I updated the combat map (in my profile header, not the game header) to be a closeup, to help ameliorate the scaling issue and improve google doc load times)
Avora Teremocles |
I am travelling today and will post tonight.
Shanya |
This is going out to all the games I'm involved in. I'll be unavailable from October 30th to November 1st, as I'm going to a local convention and I'll only have my phone for Internet access. I'll try to keep up to date with my campaigns, but for those games I'm playing in--please feel free to bot me to move things along if it comes to that.
For the campaigns I'm currently GMing--I'll be back as soon as I can on November 1st to move us along. :)
Kalt Ìsson |
Sorry to hear it, Rango.
The rest of us can post in the meantime!
Avora Teremocles |
Hope that everything works out, Rango.
Avora Teremocles |
I'm making ready for a holiday. I will be gone to Walt Disney World from Nov 10 through Nov 18 and will not have access during this time (okay, more correctly, I will have access, but do not intend to check in). If you are playing in one of my games, please excuse the untimely delay. If I am playing in one of your games, please bot me or let the other players dictate my actions (within reason) until my return.
Kalt Ìsson |
Sven? The forward momentum of the whole tale, the success or failure of our mission, all depend on your next post!
Okay, that may be overstating it. But you're the only one besides the Ankih-bot who needs to post to close out this round of combat.
Kalt Ìsson |
You are easily the most thoughtful Ulfen to have posted in this game in the last 28 minues.
Sven Bjornson |
As we're once again approaching the holiday season, I encourage all my DMs to make sure their Paizo wish list is up to date. For reasons.
Kalt Ìsson |
So, shall we revisit the notion of picking up an arcane caster somewhere? Ankih's gone, and Mug hasn't posted anywhere in months that I can find.
Thoughts? If yes, ideas on who to recruit?
Avora Teremocles |
With the onset of the Christmas season, my life just became undeniably hectic (or rather, moreso). Until January, almost every day on my schedule is filled. While I will try to check in at least once a day, my posting rate during this time is not guaranteed to be regular.
If you are in a game I am running, please be patient and I will try to keep somewhat regular.
If I am in your game, I will try to check in daily when possible. If I am slowing things up, please bot me as necessary.
Avora Teremocles |
Remember where I said earlier that my life was getting more hectic? Well, I'm at a convention this weekend and will likely not be available Friday through Sunday.
Kalt Ìsson |
All - I will be travelling from Dec 17 to Jan 8, with unpredictable internet access. I will check in and post when I can, but please bot me if there's a need.
DM Ranginui |
Sorry, its been a super busy weekend/week. Will try to get back to posting when I can.
DM Ranginui |
I will be happy to be done with this book just so I can stop having to look up how to spell Kostit... Kostchu... Kostchtchie.
I put out a post for a replacement arcane type here
Kalt Ìsson |
There are definitely some orthography challenges in this campaign.
Thanks for looking for a new playmate for us, Rango!
Shanya |
I'll be happy to be done with this huge-ass dungeon crawl. :(
Thanks for opening up a recruitment for a replacement mage, GM. :)
DM Ranginui |
I edited out a ton of it. As dungeons go, it's not terrible, lots of interesting relations between denizens. Still a huge dungeon, though.
DM Ranginui |
A summary of concepts submitted thus far from the recruitment thread. (In retrospect, I should have used this recruiting thread. Oh well, live and learn).
- Timeskeeper, Frjya Elvanna Jadwiga acting against her family, stats complete
- thunderbeard, gnomish (?) spirit or counter summoner
- Amazing Red, Lucius Cassius ex-Razmiran sorcerer (variant multiclass bard) on a journey of reformation, stats complete
- GM Arwright, dotted
- Mawgrim, Triaxian Sorcerer (verdant bloodline)
I'm not in a special rush to choose, but I will take your input for selection. Inspired by a certain IronCat's recruitment thread, when it seems like all interested parties have submitted I'll take a poll via pm.
Kalt Ìsson |
Rango - PM'ed you some thoughts on the submissions so far. What do you think your timing for this selection will be? I know we're not in any great rush, I just don't want interested parties to drift away.
DM Ranginui |
Why don't I give it until the end of the month, just so that we can have some sort of hard cutoff date.
Given the current pace of the game, it will be few weeks before we introduce the characters. Some creative introductions will be necessary - this adventure has a lot of structural challenges due to all the hopping around (Sliders!)
DM Ranginui |
At Khelreddin's suggestion, I closed the recruitment thread.. There appear to be 4.5 serious applicants thus far.
Timeskeeper, Frjya Elvanna, Jadwiga acting against her family, stats complete
Amazing Red, Lucius Cassius ex-Razmiran sorcerer (variant multiclass bard) on a journey of reformation, stats complete
Mawgrim, Merisem Bayark, winter-born Triaxian crossblooded-sorcerer (boreal and verdant bloodlines).
Gyrfalcon, Tiknesr Th'th'th'th'slifp, an acerbic if humorous ratfolk witch (and ratling familiar). Stats mostly complete needs adaptation to RoW campaign. For the swarm!
GM Hills, Karyne Morozov, Jadwiga with fire in the blood Stats complete
GM Arkwright, dot
DM Crustypeanut, dot.
TwelvePointFivePercent, dot.
If anyone who has opined wants to change their mind, they are welcome to. Only two folks have voiced an opinion via PM, thus far; I will try to decide by the end of the month though.
Avora Teremocles |
Sorry for the extended absence without notice, folks. The family member that had congestive heart failure has been moved to a permanent care facility and I am one of the ones tasked with emptying her apartment and sorting through her things. I've been spending every day working from 8 AM to about 8 PM at that, then coming home and doing work for the convention that I am helping put on in a month. We have to get this done as soon as possible, because they want to rent out the apartment. I don't know how long this is going to take, but it shouldn't be more than another week, tops. I don't blame anyone for dropping me, or dropping out of my game, but I hope you will stick with it.
DM Ranginui |
My condolences! I had to do something like that for a friend with cancer once (minus the convention). Hope everything settles down soon.
Let us know if you want someone (preferably not me?) to bot Avora until you have time for the game.
DM Ranginui |
I invited gyrfalcon (Tiknesr) to join the this PbP group, after hearing the responses. Thanks for everyone's input.
The character wouldn't be introduced until after you leave Artrosa, naturally.
Kalt Ìsson |
I invited gyrfalcon (Tiknesr) to join the this PbP group, after hearing the responses. Thanks for everyone's input.
Cool, he looked like a fun one. But won't you miss getting to DMPC Ankih? ;)
Here's hoping he doesn't succumb to the Curse of the Arcanes that seems to plague this game.
gyrfalcon |
Hi, thanks for the invite! I look forward to joining you all. I had a lot of fun playing Tiknesr in a previous game, and I hope he'll be an interesting (and entertaining) RP addition here...as well as a capable caster.
I just invisi-dotted gameplay and will start to catch up a bit. I need to give him another once over, especially around his gear, but I'm basically ready to dive in and introduce him whenever y'all get to that point. (No rush!)
...And yes, I'll endeavor to avoid succumbing to any arcane curses...though this is a witch war afterall. ;-)
