<p>I'm just posting this here because this is where all four of my favorite Paizo-nians are (sorry we haven't met before, Patrick, but you can disregard this particular post :) ) and wanted to say that I miss gaming with you guys and regret how things went down with my disappearing early in the summer. Regarding that, my wife and I check into our local hospital in less than 8 hours for the planned delivery of my second son - so some of you may not even see this until after he's arrived! It's been a whirlwind summer and then autumn of... well, everything - but just because I abandoned my friends doesn't mean I've forgotten them! There's not much else to say to that, I suppose, but I do hope that you're all doing well.</p>

<p>Okay, so here's the "stich": between work, family, and school the last month+, I haven't had the energy to do much of anything that required any amount of brainpower: I've been able to play Diablo 3 for maybe an hour a night in this time precisely because it's mindless monster mashing (Rulgha's a biotch and has better-geared characters than me; expect his character to die soon in oh-so-sweet revenge). Every single night for the last two weeks especially, "I need to get Reaping Stone updated" just hasn't happened whether due to exhaustion, laziness, higher priorities, undiagnosed SAD, or whatever.</p>
<p><b>But!</b></p>
<p><ul><li>After four years of looking, I finally have a new job. I haven't started yet, but I've received and agreed to the formal offer that was extended and am currently serving out my final two weeks.
<br />
<li>The semester is almost over. I have one paper to write, and two final exams - the first of which is my first day at the new job. I have two weeks before the summer semester begins, in which I am taking one class.
<br />
<li>My wife is 15 weeks pregnant. On May 20, we are having the ultrasound to see if it's a boy or girl. We actually planned this one (my son was a happy but earlier-than-expected surprise), and are doubly-excited about this because she had a miscarriage late last fall. The C-section is tentatively scheduled for October 7 because my genes result in wide baby shoulders and it's just easier for all of us that way.
<br />
<li>Because of the above, I am not taking a fall semester class. That's right, I have no classes from the second week of August until the first week of February next year. I needed a break anyways, as my lack of energy to do even fun stuff is a lot worse for non-fun stuff and if I'd tried to take a class in the fall a) my wife would stab me b) I'd almost surely be a complete and burned-out wreck by Thanksgiving, which is perfect timing for going into final projects/exams.</ul></p>

<p>Also, Aelryinth: if you reset your quests, you can't access Act 5 until you've killed Diablo again which I found out the hard way for my Wizard and is why I played it on my Barbarian instead.</p>Yes, I'm also on the American server - although apparently that doesn't matter anymore. I'm with , but I don't actually know most of them as it's the Clan that my several friends from my World of Warcraft guild (even though most of us have long since moved on from WoW). I'll probably switch to PFS, though, because I have all of them as Friends and we're on Ventrilo anyways, so the alternate grouping with you fine folks is just fine with me!

Finished A3 and blew through A4 on Torment 1 like hot butter through a knife. My barbarian got a few legendary items over the weekend: almost exclusively 1-hand weapons, when I'm really looking for a Skorn. Not much in the way of armor upgrades, though. Damage has moved up to roughly 60K from 40K last week.</p>
<p>Wizard has had two legendary wizard hats drop, and a legendary belt. I'm still soloing Torment 2 as Cold with her because Rare/Elite packs in Torment 3 just slaughter me. Damage has held steady at 120K.</p>
<p>Also, crafting. If you have mostly Rare items with a few legendaries or just hit 60 recently, take a look at what you can get from the Blacksmith. Crafting Exalted Fine items can provide both my Barbarian and Wizard with possible upgrades - but it really needs the right mix of stats across all six bonuses to be worthwhile. Exalted Fine items are plan drops, but they're not particularly uncommon and I have that level for almost all armor categories - though not as much for weapons. Unfortunately, they're all Bound to Account: so no item trading with other players which is huge BS for those of us with long-standing gaming guilds/clans/etc.</p>
<p>If/when you make a Crusader, all the Crusader-specific items are already available with the Blacksmith as well.</p>Played a bit with Aelryinth and Ariaspinner on... um, Saturday, right?

<p>Shortly after your arrival in Maer-Varza, your chosen in was attacked at approximately midnight by cultists of the Scythe Mother in an attempt to infect as many folk as possible with a terrible disease. You managed to defeat most of the attackers, but the leader escaped into the sewers beneath the city. Giving chase and following a crude map found on one of the bodies of a slain cultist, you've been attacked several times as you make your way through the sewers.</p>
<p><span class=messageboard-bigger><b>Now:</b></span></p>
<p>Gathering up the loot from underneath the tentacles, slime-covered, and putrid-smelling corpse in the corner, you hasten to evacuate that particular area and get on with your self-assigned mission of dealing with the cultist leader once and for all.</p>
<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p>Over muck and filth, you've made your way through the sewers for another half hour toward your barely-known final destination.</p>
<p><b><i>You have entered another large cistern chamber. The landing above the cistern basin borders the chamber’s south and east walls, and is littered with garbage and other refuse that form a collection of garbage mounds that are each taller than a man’s head. The cistern’s water-filled basin is dominated by a bewildering array of mechanical stone gears, grinding brass machinery, and loud water-pumps that are attached to the cistern’s floor and ceiling. This machinery appears to be a complicated sewage pumping system.</i></b></p>
<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p><b>Surprise Round</b></p>
<p>Perhaps due to their constant, running battles with rats, Miraji is automatically suspicious of another attack upon entering this large, noisy room. Her fear proves wise, as she spots an enormous rat-man hiding in the back of the room and another vicious pack of rats - all of which are coming right at Katie and her!</p>

On the other hand, a CR 4 encounter at an APL 1 group is APL+3 = Epic encounter, suitable for end-boss fights but probably even more challenging (nominally-speaking) given the limited feats, spells, and hp pool of first-level characters.</p>

If Wyam is able to build enough trust with this character, he would try to get them to change by showing how honestly being out to help others can be more rewarding than merely making it through another day with hopefully a few more gold in the pocket. For characters that have done evil in the past, it's no big deal to him so long as the character regrets what they did and is trying to make things right or has already done so and learned from it and is now doing the right thing.
<p>In general, I see Wyam as being very self-aware in the sense that he's not perfect and that, as a mortal, has committed his own sins and will continue to do so despite his desire to be good. This could especially arise if his family or friends are tortured, kidnapped, etc: Wyam's as easy going as it gets until you piss him off (which will take a lot), but once you do that it's "war to the knife" which will always be a challenge for him to not succumb to and lose himself forever in. Wyam is a character who <i>could</i> lose the war by winning every battle, and it will take all he has - and the rest of the party as well - to prevent that.</p>GM Arkwright wrote:@Wyam Marshaal- I like.

<p>As for Sanderson, the man is a machine. According to his blog, <a href="http://www.brandonsanderson.com/blog/925/Another-Long-and-Rambling-Post-on-Future-Books" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">the plan</a> is something like this (each about a year apart):</p>

<br />
Stormlight 2
<br />
Stormlight 3
<br />
Elantris 2
<br />
Stormlight 4
<br />

Resolved to make her way home, Gutspiller wanders inadvertantly into the Rusty Ear Biter course.
