Tales from the City of Opal
Game Master Patrick Curtin

Well, time again for me to add to my bank of airline miles. I'm leaving again for Turin on Saturday, and won't be back until the following Saturday (the 6th). Please feel free to DMPC me in that time when needed.

What are you guys, >chicken??<

Hey, chickens can be dangerous. Haven't you ever seen "The Gamers: Dorkness Rising"?

And yes. Yes we are.

Actually ..no I haven't

You can find the whole thing free on YouTube. It seems like something you'd enjoy.

FYI- I'm going into Peter Pan musical show week. SO limited posting, although I'll try to keep up once a day. :)

Rags Remember! Second star to the right, and straight on till morning!

Good luck with the play, we shall miss your input!

Lol! Thanks Pat!

Actually, not a bad tech rehearsal tonight,

Or, as I like to call them, 'Stumble-throughs'
:)

One down, 6 more days to go! ;P

Hey all, just a quick note. I will be intermittently posting as I have a lot of Fall cleanup to do to ready for Samhain. I will attempt to keep current as best I can.

Hey,
I survived Peter Pan! (Yay!)

Still busy,... (Boo!)

Should be able to catch up by Tues or Wed. (I hope!)

:)

See you soon?(ish?) ;P

OUCH!
Nice one-liners Shiny & Guy!

You guys are making me work WAY too hard to keep up with you! ;P

No worries Pat,

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.

Glad to hear it Shiny! :)

Sorry for the delays ... Life, well, you know ..

Oh i know! ;P

RL still kidney-punching me.
Sorry so slow posting. I probably won't be available again till after Thanksgiving.

SO!
Happy Turkey day everyone!

See you after the turkey-induced coma! :)

I'll be away on business again beginning tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon and returning Friday. Please DMPC me as needed.

Hello?
Did every one survive the Tryptophan coma?

:)

I'm here, just unsure as to y'alls intentions ..

Yeah, I think I got corn-fuzzled with the holiday break and usual end of school semester insanity. ;P

I thought we had decided (majority if not unanimous) ;) to clear the top deck (which I believe we have done) and then rest until dawn, and progress below with the sun up.

However, having re-read a few posts, and thinking about it, Izk makes a good point. Al we need is for some mold-rat or something to sneak up on us while we're asleep. Bleech.

OK, how is every body on powers/spells? MAgnus hasn't hardly used any so far,

I recast my vote, I say we continue, all in favor? ;)

I apologize for not being around as much as I should be. I've been keeping away from the Paizo boards recently, mostly because all I end up doing is signing in and hiding threads.

Egan has hardly done anything today...so he is ready.

I apologize for not being around as much as I should be. I've been keeping away from the Paizo boards recently, mostly because all I end up doing is signing in and hiding threads.

Yeah I hear that. I am holding onto the OTD by a very slender thread.

Plus we've kind of stalled with the whole 'go down into the hold or nap till morning' question.

Yeah, but THAT just tells you how good a job you're doing with the whole slime-queen thing!

How many times have you actually had players/PC's that were nervous/afraid of facing the beastie in question?!? ;)

Nice work! :D

So lost nitifications on this game. Fortunately seems we haven't gotten that far in 56 posts and I also happen to be playing a character prone to slipping into trances.

Yeah I apologize. I have to get back on track with these games. The holidays are taking up a bit more time than I would wish, and the next xhapter of this game is tricky.

Hazards of the format, AND the time of year I think. ;)

I'm still good to go, just waiting for teh chance to pick it up.

Also, I've actually been working on my self-post-control. Trying to make sure I don't OVER post as I have tended to do in the past. (This is made easier by keeping busy in RL) ;P

Heh, take your time! I just dread the next post being,
"So, you step in something SLIME-y",...

;D

FYI folks, I have to cobble up a map, but I have a large stretch of free time tomorrow, so I am hoping I can make it happen

Will wait till the mass dogpile to select action since I'm last apparently

Merry Christmas everyone!

I should be in brazil from the 8th-22nd of January, and probably won't be able to post. Feel free to DMPC Izkrael once we get there. I'll drop another post here verifying my departure. Thanks!

Merry belated Christmas Guy!

Tá bom Iz, enjoy your trip!

I have been sidelined by a few unforseen circumstances. I expect to have some quality time Saturday morning, I am hoping to complete the map at that point. Thank you all for your patience.

Happy After-Christmas all!

Am currently on vacate to Oklahoma, should eb able to check in periodically, but will not be 'back' until a couple of days after New Years.

So, In case I miss you all, Happy New Years! :D

Apologies folks. I have been having a rather downer of a past few days, and my heart has not been in PbP. I will hopefully get some done tomorrow.

I'll say the same thing as in the Silver Rose thread:

As always life comes first Patrick, don't feel pressured by us, come back when you're ready.

Also if you're feeling down around the holidays you should know you're not alone, lots of folks feel that way, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. The most important things in life are friends and family and not the stupid things we can afford.

How come everyone else can say in a few words what takes me paragraphs?

Ditto on what Guy said. Hopefully things will look up for us all soon. :)

ALso, sorry for the absence, Got sick on my OK vacate. I'm back now. Physically. Mentally probably needs a few more days. :)

Guys once again I have to apologize. My daughter has been sick these past few days, and I haven't had time to update. I will attempt to update soon. Thanks for your patience

All good. Hope she gets better soonest! :)

Yep, RL takes precedence. Hope she feels better asap!

Hey all. Just a quick update. My entire family is now socked in with the creeping crud. I will keep you updated, but at this point I'm feeling very sluggish and unmotivated. Hopefully things will be better come next week

Crud-B-Gone!
<POOF!>

DId it work?

Sorry, was worth a try. ;P Hope all the monkeys feel better soon! :D

Technical question guys,

Since MAgnus never got to actually unload the Frost Touch spell he cast before the others successfully chopped down the walking firewood pile, I believe he is still holding the charge.

So, How long CAN a caster hold a charge for a touch spell? As long as he doesn't cast any other spells? (presuming you stay awake to concentrate on holding the charge?)

It's been a while since I played with touch spells, (I try to keep casters OUT of combat! Not that it ever works out that way.) And am reading up on them. Just wondered if anyone else knew off the top of their heads?

Man, I tell you pre-made modules are easier, but sometimes the encounters are a bit hairy.

Hairy, but cool! :)

Just a heads-up: I've been dealing with some issues outside of game, and my posting will probably be somewhat spotty for the next couple of weeks.

You got it Shiny.

Best wishes Shiny.

Hope to see you back soon, happy and healthy! :)

Speaking of healthy, how IS the monkey-clan doing now? All over the holiday creeping crud I hope! :)

Healthy but buried in snow.

That storm hit us as well, it started Friday night around 10, and kept going till Sunday around noon.

Wow. I miss snow.

But not that much! ;P

As much of a pain as it was to dig out yesterday I'd prefer snow to the summer heat.

Yeah, there IS that! ;P

My personal theory about weather is this,...

"If it's cold, you can always put on more layers. But if it's hot you can only take off so much,... before you get arrested. (And your still hot!)" ;P
