Hey gang! Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm back home, recovering from the surgery. Got some very good news from the neurooncologist. The mass that they found in my brain is a grade 2 astrocytoma, the lower grade it could've been. The neurosurgeon was able to remove (according to him) 95-98% of the tumor with the surgery, which my wife has already told you.

At present, because the tumor is grade 2 and the nature of grade 2 astrocytomas is that they are very slow-growing, I do not require any follow-up treatment in the form of radiation or chemotherapy. Moving forward, the treatment plan seems to be that I'm going to have to have an MRI done roughly every quarter to check and see if the tumor has started growing again. When it does, it is at that point that I'll need to seek out radiation/chemo or whatever. But for right now, I am hunky-dory!

That's great news (I think)!

Glad to have you back and recovering.


I guess that's the best news you could have expected...glad to see you back Phil

Very well, Sir. Although smashing in skulls with your brass knuckles seems to be working fine, adding a little slash is smart. Might I also suggest one of our fighter-types put the short bow to use as well?


Male Human (Chelaxian) Fighter (Brawler) 3

I really have no idea what I'll use it for other than maybe selling it when we eventually go to port. For now I'll hang onto it just in case.


Male Human

Please forgive my recent lack of posting! I ended up having to go back into the hospital for a few days because of a concern that I had caught a bacterial infection at my surgery site. There's still a little bit of worry about some fluid that I have underneath my skull, but I'm not running any fever of significance (hasn't been higher than 99.6 in the last few days) and I'm four days into a 10-day dose of antibiotics, so hopefully I'm good to go and will have this thing licked very shortly.

OK Folks I'm going away to Games Expo UK tonight and won't be back until Monday Evening my time. Playing 4 PFS games over the three days (and some Paranoia) so I won't be without my Pathfinder fix


M Gnome Conjurer

Just a note that I am on summer break and will be on the road quite a bit this month. Given the slow pace, I likely won't be out long enough to delay anything, but if so DMPC me- just don't get me killed!


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

It occurs to me that I should put it out there that Devon has been crazy busy packing house and moving for the last week. We should get the last of his stuff moved tomorrow, but it may be a couple more days before we have any forward motion here.

Sorry for not posting something sooner. It's been an exhausting and hot several days.

Okay guys really sorry about the delay. Had the moving week from hell and it was during the great west coast heatwave, blargh. I am trying to get back on my feet at work (get Internet at my house) and in general get back to business. I probably won't post much through the holiday weekend but I will be back in business on Mon for sure.

Shadow Lodge

Just letting all my PbP's know. I'll be moving here shortly, so my posting might get a little scarce for a week or two.


Everybodies moving it seems.

Uhmmm...my description is where? S#*& lost a post, sorry.

I hate when that happens. I always leave and return to the thread to make sure the post took. I used to write posts in Word and then cut and paste to make sure I didn't have to rewrite things, but I've gotten lazy and pay for it now and again :P


M Gnome Conjurer

Loots:
locked spellbook
ring of alter shape- swim speed and gills, slight curse
wand of cure spell storing
black wand?

how is everyone doing for underwater locomotion and breathing?

i've got a ring of swimming, no water breathing.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

I have a natural swim speed of 30', spells that grant underwater breathing and a swim speed (but only 6 castings total), and 3 Potions of Waterbreathing.

So between spells and potions I can set up myself and 4 others with swimming and breathing, with one 1st level spell left over.


Female (posing as male) Human Swashbuckler Rogue 2 (favoured class)/Urban Ranger 2

Mel will take the risk with the ring


M Gnome Conjurer

Underwater action summary:

Hassan- Swim speed, air bubble (3 min)
Ajani- Swim speed, pot. water breathing (2 hrs)
Mel- Swim speed ( alter self ring), gills, pot. water breathing
Quillin- +6 swim (swimming ring), pot. water breathing (2 hrs)
Fjori- +10 swim, air bubble (3 min)
Bart- +9 swim, air bubble (3 min)

I think there was another ring of swimming out there?
EDIT: found it. Mel already had a standard ring of swimming from the ghoul whore hoard. so that's available if she's upgraded. too bad they don't stack. I'll have to find some aquatic mobility spells next level.
Mel also won't need a potion of water breathing as she has gills with her ring.

I think that Hassan should spare his spells on us non-swim speed lubbers until we actually need a swim speed for combat.


Jaunty Brigand Nair-do-well 1 / Upstart 3

Makes sense. I forgot the ring also grants gills, so that potion can go to someone else I suppose.


M Gnome Conjurer

Hey all,
I'll be backpacking in Yosemite next week and unplugged.


Female (posing as male) Human Swashbuckler Rogue 2 (favoured class)/Urban Ranger 2

Mel will certainly give up the first ring to anyone who needs it.


Male Human (Ulfen) Ranger (Freebooter) 3

Fjori might want it...as well he would be interested in giving up his +1 cutlass (I need another light off-handed weapon to get max bonus!) and go back to his boarding ax.


I think the Grindy's will take you up on the Fjori if no one else wants it :p

Male Historian/Curator

ummm no...thats ok!! lol..


M Gnome Conjurer

i'm not seeing what the plan is- distract the fishing party or the guard or both and then what? is this their lair?


Female (posing as male) Human Swashbuckler Rogue 2 (favoured class)/Urban Ranger 2

Essentially I want to follow them..this isn't their lair but the fact that they are fishing means they will be returning to it

I'm back everyone. Ill be posting again shortly once I've got caught up on everything I've missed.

Hey everyone I apologize for this and I will post this everywhere I can so that folks can be sure to run into it:

There have been some recent developments in my life both logistically and emotionally that are going to need my focus and attention. While I think I should be able to continue to play after a short hiatus I think it best if I discard other more time consuming activities for the health of my family and in fairness to all of you folks who I play with.

I should be back in about a week or so to posting but I think it best I shut S&S down. I would rather be proactive in the other games I am in rather than constantly struggle and then find myself unavailable on all fronts. I apologize for the abruptness of it all but hopefully we can continue our other games in earnest. I appreciate any tolerance or patience you can muster. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about your troubles Devon and I hope things work their way out! I have enjoyed playing and thank you for being such a great DM. Please keep me in mind if you start up a new game.

just a note...please close the game off...I hate having games that are no longer running on my board...


M Gnome Conjurer

yeah, sorry to hear that, but take care of yourself first. and ditto on inactivating the game up properly when you can.


Male Human

I'm really sorry to hear you're having trouble on the home front, Devon. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, for certain. I hope that there's a light at the end of the tunnel for whatever situation you're in. Good luck!


Hi all,
Well, I figured we must be nearly through the first book and in fact we are about two rooms away from completion. So my thought is why not just wrap it up. I can run the last bit if you like. I think the devilfish is going to eat our lunch anyway and Quillin is pretty much spent with offense anyway.

What say you? For Quinn? Death or Glory?


Male Human

I'm game!


Male Human (Ulfen) Ranger (Freebooter) 3

count me in!!


Go for it..

Allright fellows, shall I shut it down?


Male Human (Ulfen) Ranger (Freebooter) 3

Sad to see it go....but I guess we need to....enjoyed playing with all of you and hope to do so again...if anyone is running the second book, I would love to continue on with Fjori....


Male Human

It was fun! I really enjoyed it. Thanks for running it for us, Devon!


I seem to be cursed in most games never to get much past 4th level..in fact I have an entire parties worth of characters at that stage I really don't ever want to have to rewrite them back to first again either.This was a fun game and had some great moments in it..
