I'm here too. Checking in daily.

Kidding! I'm checking daily to see if there's any movement. Hope your computer is purged of demons soon, Shisumo!

At the moment, I'm just barely staying active in the games I'm not running - posting via phone is a serious pain in the @$$. I'll stay active iin the discussion thread though so you guys know I haven't forgotten you...

FYI, Best Buy's website says the computer is on its way back to the store. I am optimistic that I will have it in a day or two... keep your eyes peeled. Wednesday is looking likely for getting things moving again.

I hope you knocked on some wood...


I've had a death in the family, so it's likely I'll not be posting for a couple days. If you don't hear from me, don't panic, I'll be back soon.

My sympathies, Stalwart.

My laptop should be back and ready to roll tomorrow afternoon.


Sorry, Stalwart. My condolences.

I'm sorry to hear that, Stalwart. My condolences on your loss.

My laptop is back. I'll be moving the story ahead now, but Stalwart, take your time - we'll be here when you're ready.


I'm back, and very grateful for your comments and consideration.

I'm actually surprised, considering the relative anonymity of the boards, I didn't expect them to mean so much. So also allow me to extend a heartfelt apology to the times I didn't comment on other troubles you have shared, because I was afraid they might sound hollow.


Amen to that. I have also found the thoughts and prayers of the folks on these boards are surprisingly important to me. It's an interesting phenomenon, this anonymous universe we have chosen to build for ourselves and each other.

It's contact, and we're human. We may not know each other in the traditional sense of the phrase, but I don't think that has any impact of the sincerity of our emotions when we have shared them, or our ability to recognize that sincerity when it is offered. I'm glad you're back, and I hope you keep doing well.

And now I have to have four sailors beat on you. Huzzah!


HP 18/28, AC 18/11/17, F +6, R +3, W +5, Init +1, Per +1

I really wish there was a teamwork feat that people would take besides Precise Strike. It's either a little too good, or the other feats are just a bit too underpowered, as it's the only teamwork feat I've ever seen people take consistently. *shrug*

Not directing this at you, Stalwart. Just a pet peeve of mine.


No no, you're absolutely right. Nothing else is good enough to waste a standard action to grant it, either.


Male Half-elf Storm Druid 3; 21/24 hp

Are xp granted to all party members? I was thinking they were, but don't want to get greedy for xp I did nothing to earn. Unless that was the DM's intent.


HP 18/28, AC 18/11/17, F +6, R +3, W +5, Init +1, Per +1

OK, no more searching for this paladin. It's rather fruitless with my +1. We'd be better served winning us friends and influencing people.


For this section, XP is going to be individual - I'll be fairly clear whether the XP is "for all of you" or just for "you" as we go along. The only group XP earned so far has been for making friends and for beating up the sailors during this morning's battle. In most cases, however, XP that is individual can be earned by each of you in turn - i.e., the XP Artevious got for getting his stuff back will be earned by the rest of you once you do the same. If you need me to, I can go back through the thread and give you individual XP totals so far.


Male Half-elf Storm Druid 3; 21/24 hp

I think I'm missing some of the "helpful-making" xp, but otherwise, I should be OK. I haven't been adding what sounded individual because I thought that might be the case.


Just a note to point out that there have been a few small updates to the campaign info page, crew-wise.

So... I'm thinking about starting a Shattered Star PbP when the AP releases next month. Rather than do an open recruitment, I'm just going to try to build a group out of the players I'm already playing with. So if anyone in this thread is interested, send me a PM and we can discuss the details.


HP 18/28, AC 18/11/17, F +6, R +3, W +5, Init +1, Per +1

I will have sporadic access starting tomorrow (8/15) until next Monday (8/20) as I will be at GenCon Indy. I'll try to check in, but my schedule will be very busy, so I'm not sure how well that will work.

I'll see you all soon!


Just back from GenCon last night waaaaay late. Probably going to be a day or so before the thread gets going again.


Male Half-elf Storm Druid 3; 21/24 hp

A wee notice:
By the way, I will be taking a week in one of my favorite places - somewhere new - and am unsure of my posting availability. I expect to be back to normal availability on the 16th. I'm sure you note that I did not say back to normal - I'm not really there now!


Just an FYI: Shisumo may be a bit sporadic, as his laptop is being repaired again. He may be able to post via phone, but...


Just checking in to note that my laptop is still likely at least a week away. *sigh* I promise I'll be back as soon as I can...


Woohoo! Laptop back and functioning! Look for a "getting things moving" post later today!


HP 18/28, AC 18/11/17, F +6, R +3, W +5, Init +1, Per +1

And, because I like to see how wise taking 10 is...what if I had decided to roll it?

1d20 + 21 ⇒ (12) + 21 = 33

Only slightly. It's possible that might have bumped him from hostile to indifferent, but I'm cool with just the one step.


Male Half-elf Storm Druid 3; 21/24 hp

I have received a gift horse and, rather than looking it in the mouth, I'm going to go for a ride. I will be far from home and computer for the next ten days or so. Please bot Chum in my absence.

Talk to you soon!


HP 18/28, AC 18/11/17, F +6, R +3, W +5, Init +1, Per +1

Once again, enjoy yourself, Master Chum!


Male Half-elf Storm Druid 3; 21/24 hp

Thanks, Master Reis!

The gift horse in question was a ticket to a Caribbean cruise on the Carnival Magic. We had several days at sea and stopped at Montego Bay (Jamaica), Georgetown (Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands), and Cozumel (Mexico). We got to snorkel out to a shipwreck and hike to (and climb up!) a Mayan pyramid.

I know some of you are much more traveled than I am, so this might not sound like a big deal for you, but this was an absolutely amazing experience for someone that had never even been to the seashore. It's going to be very hard to return to reality...


HP 18/28, AC 18/11/17, F +6, R +3, W +5, Init +1, Per +1

As someone who rarely leaves the Midwest, and has never left the country, it's safe to say I am less well-travelled than you. Sounds like an amazing experience - hopefully, I'll be able to take a cruise one day myself!

Ahoy, chaps! I'm afraid I needs must make an announcement. Following swiftly on the heels of Chum's recent voyage, my scribe and ghost writer, who assists me on chronicling the deeds and derring-do of yours truly, will also be taking a short leave for travels to sunnier climes. I anticipate my actions will resume in earnest in a week's time, so in the interim, please know that I shall continue to support the Wormwood and her crew wherever they may sail.

I sincerely hope you do, as well. Those people are good at what they do.

It looks like that bit of XP has tipped me over the 2,000 mark. We're doing the medium progression, right?

I don't know if everyone's at the same amount as I am. I may be a little ahead because of my entertainment XP.

Let me know when you'd like for me to start with leveling up my character.


The mod does award differing amounts of XP to different characters, and yes I believe that Art is placed the highest. The difference is likely to be small enough to disappear as a practical matter even by the time we start approaching level 3, but for now, there will be different instances of leveling for different characters.

You can go ahead and start leveling up now if you like.


I went back and double-checked everyone else's XP total, and the rest of you should all be at 1950, just about ready to level yourselves. (Ainvar, it looks like your math is slightly off and you also missed the XP you got for making Cut-Throat Grok helpful.)


Male Half-elf Storm Druid 3; 21/24 hp

That's why I list the details like that, thanks for the check. I've found more than once that I added a reward and forgot to adjust the total - probably did that again.


HP 18/28, AC 18/11/17, F +6, R +3, W +5, Init +1, Per +1

And I was slightly off...by about a thousand XP.


So yes, you can all level up now. If you have any questions, let me know.

EDIT: and I'll answer one now that I should have already done: use half-hit-die-plus-1 for your hit points at the new level. So (assuming everyone sticks with their current class), Artevious and Eleuterio get 6+Con mod and Evril and Chum get 5+Con mod.


If video games have taught me anything, my elven heritage should mean that I can just walk up the line while shooting my bow and possibly carrying a dwarf.


Or at least while talking smack to a dwarf about how many foes you've killed. Wait, that wasn't a video game.


Hey guys, my job has pounded me flat at the moment, and it's probably going to take a day or so to get me feeling something like human again. I'll move things forward again Thursday morning.


HP 18/28, AC 18/11/17, F +6, R +3, W +5, Init +1, Per +1

Just out of curiousity...

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Would have missed anyway. Now I just look like a badass. >:D


HP 18/28, AC 18/11/17, F +6, R +3, W +5, Init +1, Per +1

Wait.

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait.

Did I just...win?


Yessir, you surely did.


F: +2 R: +6 W: +3 Per: +10 Init: +3 HP: 18/21

sorry for working a little blue, there. Ev's had about alls he can stands, and he can't stands n'more.


Male Half-elf Storm Druid 3; 21/24 hp

To let you know, we are packing up our bicycles for few days on a rail-to-trail in Iowa. I don't know how much Internet access we will have over the next week, so please don't let Chum hold things up - please feel free to take actions on his behalf. Have a great Memorial Day (if you are in the States) and a great week (wherever you might find yourself)!
