Souls for a Devil

I wonder how many pbp's TR was planning on running simultaneously when he started this one?

LOL - spot on. I think depending on how things turn out, there will be less party splitting in the future. It's been fun though.

The real question is, can Savendir, Corvin, and Matsumoto succeed where Flavia and Mason did not. I suspect we will be more of a rescue mission than a reinforcement.

On the upshot, Flavia and Mason should be glad that Savendir knows where you are. If he hadn't been there when you were investigating the outside of the building, you could be in a lot more trouble.

Hey now, we're doing just fine. And Flavia thought Savendir was going to get the big guns... :P

It's called 'aggressive investigation'.

Uh Oh

OK, so maybe there's a possibility we might need a hand...

Help, please.

Good news - I sent Flash a FB message bringing him up to speed. He should be rejoining soon.

Also, the pace may have to slow down for a few days. Tonight I have to prep for my Rise of the Runelords game that we are playing Friday night. This weekend we are heading to Austin, TX. This past week in the game has been exciting for me too.

Aaaaand I am back. Sorry for my absence guys. :(

Huzzah!

Aaaaand I am back. Sorry for my absence guys. :(

Welcome back Flash! Glad you can rejoin us.

"Mason, on the other hand, probably would not have had the presence of mind."

Mason gets no respect. :)

I obviously missed something by not reading spoilers.

I'm so glad that you read this.

I like reading the spoilers, and I've been good about compartmentalizing player knowledge and character knowledge. :)

I've had a few experiences where the party meets back up and I say, "So what happened?" and they say "Read the spoilers" and that is no fun, so I have taken to doing like taig. (Unless the spoiler specifically says not to, but now in the day of private messaging, that doesn't happen often.)

Yeah, if the spoiler says "GM only" I won't read it.

Yeah, I typically let a few accumulate then go back and read them in a block so they flow better. Just hadn't read that one. Besides, with the way this one is working, it's purely up to GM TR as to where each party is in their respective timelines, regardless of the chronological order of posting.

A bolt comes flying at Corvin as he enters the warehouse. Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20, Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5 The bolt pierces Corvin in the leg.

I'm sure there's a joke in here somewhere...

LOL - I totally didn't intend that. I was just trying to think of a good body part to enhance the drama and that is the first limb that popped into my head.

Uh oh! I just TPKd my family's party when they faced the BBEG in this town. I might need to make an adjustment to the encounter for you guys.

lol... I'm sure with Rokuro's bad rolling even a scaled down opponent will mince him.

I'M THE G%#+!~N BATMAN!

NOBODY MAKES ME BLEED MY OWN BLOOD! NOBODY!

I'm not sure Savendir will know what to make of Corvin after this. His delicate elven sensibilities, after all...

Seriously, though, loving this party.

Land on the guard! That would be made of awesome!

Apologies for being absent for several days--I was in the process of moving, and was without computer or internet access. I would have let you guys know beforehand, but I didn't see it coming myself. I should be good now.

I hope everything worked out, Shiny. Do you have a decent place?

I'll be at GenCon this weekend, so my posting will be spotty at best. You can throw Mason at the bad guys if you need to.

I hope everything worked out, Shiny. Do you have a decent place?

It's the size of a shoebox and smells like cat piss, but my two best friends in town live in the same building, so it's not a total loss.

Looks like I spoke too soon. Things are going remarkably pear-shaped right now. If you don't mind, I'm going to need you to GMPC Corvin for a few days, at least until things get sorted out.

Speaking of Enard... Tordek, was it you who was in touch with Mothman for a bit? I was hoping he would have returned :(

I know that Mothy is only temping at the moment and he was having issues with his PC. So I think computer time has been hard to come by for him lately.

hah! How's that for a failed Perception Check. None of us spotted that the Wedge Road actually ended before it got to The Trick Door...
:)

I'm not entirely clear on whether Golarion elves sleep... Is that a holdover from previous editions that Paizo never really clarified one way or the other?

I believe they sleep normally but are immune to sleep effects.

Healing: I see Mason channeling once for 6 and 1 wand hit from Savendir for 2, leaving Flavia at 17. Did I miss some?

hmmm... Nope, I must have just figured that since I made it to full and I was down really low, that everyone would have made it back up to full after sleeping. My potion and more hp from the Cure must have made the difference. Sorry

I didn't realize you were so injured. I think Savendir had 2 channels left and 2 1st level spells which could be converted to CLW, apart from a +11 Heal check. With that much healing available (without even getting to his wand of CLW), it's hard to imagine Flavia would still be down HP in the morning.

Yeah, 3 points natural brings her to 20, so with a channel or two, she'll be fine. Can we hand-wave that everybody is at max, then?

I just noticed that there are new Posts? grrr... it hasn't been showing this in my Focus. :(

The RSS feed works again, so that's been nice for me for reminder purposes. <Knocks on wood> :)

Happy Birthday Tordek! :)

I'm gonna be away for a week starting tomorrow. I believe I will have some internet access but other than my phone I'm not sure how regularly.

Thanks for the birthday wish Flash. I didn't notice that there were new posts.

Sorry everyone that I haven't been posting. I've been getting slammed at work. Things should get better soon as I have a new person starting Monday in engineering which take some of the burden off of me.

Thanks for your patience.

My new person is picking things up quickly and I interviewed several promising candidates for my open engineering and engineering manager position. This means soon I will not have to work 2 jobs like I am doing now, and my schedule can return to normal. (14 hour days were beginning to wear on me.) This week posting should be back to normal. Thanks for the continued patience.

OK, I'm mostly back now. Found out why my borrowed backup PC has been having issues with Paizo.com, and it's been fixed.

Flavia and Savendir: Summoning spells have been cast for your missing friends.

Mason willingly failed his save.

Sorry for my absence.
