Hey, fellow Paizonauts!
I can't keep up with pbp any more. Life is just too hectic right now.
I've really enjoyed the game; my replacement better be wicked awesome.

Okay, any votes for me flicking through the adventure and figuring out how to kill the golem? I own everything Paizo, pretty much, but can't remember any thing about this adventure beyond 'infiltrate the cult'. Or, y'know, I could PM Doug? Maybe he's just annoyed that ear-piercing scream makes the golem auto-implode and he's missed his TPK?
Swoop takes to the air to get away from the swarm . I step away and channel His power to heal my allies and myself.
I can channel healing now, it won't affect a construct. How is everyone for healing?
Maybe the swarm form is only for a number of rounds a day? Then we can tough it out? Does Kerret know with his knowledge check?
I move beside Swoop and cast Protection From Evil on my new ally.
Swoop flies up and over the battleground to land behind Lorant. I step into Kaylee's place and swing for the mask-thing.
I send swoop to harass Egarthis.
While I pray for Erastil's aid and then step forward beside Kaylee.
Kerret is our best armoured member right now. Time to get on the front line where you belong!
Preparing for the worst, I cast Bull's Strength on Lorant.
I lay a hand on Swoop's wing and brandish my weapon as we await our foes.
I pull up the rope, "Let's get into that drawer: maybe we'll find something we can use?"
Swoops soars into the room while I struggle gamely up.
I peer into Swoop's enigmatic eyes and feel his understanding. Swoop flexes his wings and waits for Kaylee to take to the skies.
I look taken aback at Lector's question, "The god who I have sworn my life and soul to has directly intervened and sent this gift to me. Don't imagine I will turn him away or abandon His gift to these cut-throats and charlatans." Kaylee's plan puts more cheer in my face, "Swoop could accompany you and serve as a guard while we climb. How do we get up there?"
I scoop up the potions and pass one to Kaylee. "Let's get going." Swoop follows, eager for some space to soar.
I grin at the bird and strokes it's plumage, "Old Deadeye provides for his flock." Then I take the mace as it heads for Lector, "He knows his way around that rapier; let me swing this lump. Once we are away from the dying I call on His aid again.
At any rate, I pray over Kaylee.
The failure of Lector's spell might mean that Krant has a magical club! If so, we need to get it into Lorant's hands. Has anyone taken non-lethal damage? I have an ability to heal that which I can use seperately from the wider healing.
Swoop is alert and ready to attack if the man makes an aggressive action or goes for his rapier.
I move forward and stabilise Kaylee with my sacred touch while talking to the remaining priest. "We all know this is Krant's fault. Just tell us where our things are being kept and we'll leave. Nobody needs to die here."
I command the priest who attacked Swoop to drop his weapon. Meanwhile, the focused Roc continues to assault Krant.
The bird continues to attack Krant .
While I rush to Kerret's side and call on Erastil healing warmth.
"Erastil be praised! We fight for a real god!" Instinctively, I understand my bond with the over-sized bird and send it in to harrass Krant.
Then I call on Erastil to bind our foe .
I could use 'command' next round to make him drop it.
Personally, I would rather we faced 'our adventure' rather than having things fixed.
Actually, Doug, while I have my head screwed on a little, I am concerned that us players are spoiling the adventure... definitely not for PCs: The first adventure was all set up for us to make small-town farm-folk: so, we made those kind of characters.
The adventure did a good job of motivating us to leave Kassen but now we're fish-out-of-water. Not because we're in a town but because we're doing sneaky espionage stuff. You were smart to bring in Lector but, ultimately, these aren't espionage characters. Lorant and Vastar are square-jawed and honest. We don't really trust lies to get the job done.
I am a modules subscriber and always flick through them. I vaguely remember that the whole thing is meant to play out in the temple... seems like we've blown that gig. You might want to consider putting the McGuffin somewhere a bit more appropriate for us (we can do RP, espionage is the problem) and sending us off on more adventures there. If you don't want to design something then use a cool 3PP or somesuch? Written modules have expectations on the players to colour insie the lines and design appropriate characters. We haven't done that (for good reasons) and are probably screwing up the whole written adventure. Don't be afraid to bail on the written adventure when us players screw it up.
Updated, but I need to deal with two things. 1. I have an elemental gem of water. I can't see any use for it so should/would have sold it.
2. How to introduce my Animal Companion.
I think I missed a level when I had computer problems. I will take Vastar up to level 4 ASAP.
I call on His aid and cast bless.
I dither nervously,
Beneath my mask, I roll my eyes.
I move to help Elvar to his feet but he is too swift and I follow quietly into the courtyard.
I nod in approval with Kerret's suggestion. This place, it drags people down.
"The others don't like Krant either. One of them told me that he broke someone's neck once: they fear him." I shrug, "It could be useful."
I embrace the manual labour: a chance to clear my mind and replicate the feeling of helping the community that I get in my ordinary service. If we are with others, I do my best to muck in, help others and offer the odd encouraging noise or supportive statement. In the long run, it seems like the other novices could help us to get ahead of ourselves.
I follow along obediently, looking forward to wearing a mask so that I can pull a few grimaces. The whole time I rack my mind: who can we gossip with? Where can we find records or maps?
I juggle the mask and bindfold before settling on tucking the mask under my arm and wearing the blindfold.
