Hey Cos, I just want to make sure that the new card I added is the one being used for this order. Its the Mastercard.

I've run into continued difficulties, but the messageboard is too public for my follow-up questions. I'm sending you an email about this order. Check your inbox! :)

Thanks,
cos

Perhaps harpies just practice male infanticide. So the half-orc PC would find out that his first-spawned son is destined to be made into a sandwich...

A Harpy sandwich? Now I've heard everything lol. What would that taste like anyway?

Hey Cos, I just want to make sure that the new card I added is the one being used for this order. Its the Mastercard.

Tr is indeed Thursday. Are you thinking you'd like to join the game?

Very much so. Have you been able to get a start date and time frame (time everyone should be there to when we need to head out lol)? Oh, and if the times good would ya like me to see if a friend or two can join up?

How about next Thursday 3pm? If that's too early, let me know. Store closes 9pm but will stay open to 10pm for us most nights. I like 6 hour sessions or so. And absolutely, friends of yours would be welcome. Let me know how many, as I don't want the table to be over 6.

I think we're at 4 (including you - not including any friends) now.

I'm getting excited!

I'll see if I'll be free but barring any unknowns I should be good. I might be able to get atleast one of my friends, our local card shop was closed so I wasn't able to chat with anyone yet lol. I'll keep ya posted on that. In any case, I'll be wearing a dragon hat for easy ID.

I'm prob the closest without living there lol. I live in Kingston, about a 15-30 min drive, depending lol. The only issue is that I can't drive. But I do know where your trying to have it. I love Dragon's Den. I'd be more then willing to try and help ya out.

Edit: And the thought of meeting fellow paizonians is a nice bonus lol.

Well, I'll certainly let you know when the game is going to be, just in case. It's starting to look like a Mon. or Tr. In my happiest world it starts Tr at around 3 or 4pm. In my next happiest Tr. around 6pm and the the game moves to a second location and continues after the store closes.

Still waiting to hear from players, but as of now it looks like 3 are lined up, including Greengrunt, who plans to drive 3 hours from Binghamton to play! That dude is one hardcore Paizonian!

Would Tr stand for Thursday? If so then I might have a slight prob as thats when I normally have my own game run lol. I could prob move it to Wensday. Either day should work out for me.

Hey Cos and all of CS,

I was wondering when this order is going to ship. I'm almost certain its been payed for, if not my bad lol, and it seems like a long time since it was originally placed. Not trying to sound impatient lol, just curious.

The order has not yet been paid-for. In fact, it appears that there was some problem with the payment method previously, and it was not properly re-processed as it should have been. I have re-processed the order and we will be getting it shipped out to you as soon as possible.

Thanks,
cos

Thanks Cos. I'm always pleased with how quick you guys are.

Hey Cos and all of CS,

I was wondering when this order is going to ship. I'm almost certain its been payed for, if not my bad lol, and it seems like a long time since it was originally placed. Not trying to sound impatient lol, just curious.

I heard rumor on G4 that Speilburg(sp) was/is interested in filming the HALO movie. Thoughts? And on topic, I hope to see District 9 soon. Looks cool, sounds cool, MUST SEE!!! Lol

Um. Whoa. Uh. Okay. Who am I to judge their love.

You know you've got a way out there topic when you make Wes studder like a drunk lol.

I've seen my fair share of interesting moments in D&D and other RPGs so I say go for it. And if ya do, you should ask Hugo Solis, fellow board poster lol, to draw up a family portrait.

Why not just let him sunset his character without it dying? And bring in something new? I mean it seems more disruptive and less fun to have a suicidal player, then to just allow a logical RP escape, and bring a new character in?

I offered retirement but he was dead(no pun) set on getting killed lol. To be fair to him, all of us didn't really mind it and he still fought hard in battle. Effectivly he turned meat shield. Though my reason for not letting him die sooner was that I didn't have spare sheets at the time and I didn't want to force him to sit out the rest of the night. I had been hoping that he'd live long enough to let Razorhorn get him lol. Death by dragon always gets the bards singing.

Name: Kenpachi Zaracki
Race: Male Half Orc
Class: Barb 5
Adventure: Armagenddon Echo
Location: Conservatory (set piece)
Calyst: Shocker Lizards and refusal to get healed

The barb's player had started having second thoughts about this char since Void and had been trying everything he could to kill him, from purposely making houses on Devil's Elbow fall on him to saying he doesn't want healing. Luck always seemed to make the damage low and if he forgot to state his no heal stance during a rest I'd have him heal anyway.

He finally found a way to get killed. I ran the set piece from Echo to let the PCs level up before the big trip into the echo itself. I had earlier overruled his claim that he didn't get healed at base camp(he didn't say anything before they started so I said the elves healed him). He then made it a point to rush to a new room after every fight. By the time he found the shocker lizard nest he had only 1hp left(the will-o-wisp had fun shocking him). The Sorc had first go and cast Flame Sphere. Playing up the lizards only seeing the barb in the door following that, they launched their letheal jolt at him, turning him into a well done barb-aque.

Good luck you guys and congrats for 6 nomies. Out of curiousity, how many ennies has paizo won over the yrs?

Heres hoping for a full on portrait and stat block next month. Its gonna be sad to see her story end though.

Hey again Cos. Andrew, again lol. In order 1169198 there are two books that were payed for in a previous order. Pathfinder #21 and Pathfinder: Dark Markets were in order 1160953 back in april but for some reason were sent back to you guys by the post office. Can you adjust the price so I don't end up paying for them again? Thanks. (If I ended up double thread posting this, my internet hiccuped)

hey again Cos. Srry to once again post but in order 1169198 pathfinder 21 and pathfinder: dark markets were payed for in order 1160953 but were sent back to you guys for some reason. Can you adjust this please? Thanks.

All set. Thanks again for all the help Cos.

Hey Cos, I'm pretty sure everything is fixed now so can you reactive my subs. Seeing how I didn't miss a month can you combine the books from order 1169198 with this months? Thanks again for understanding the problem that came up. This is why Paizo is tops on my shopping sites.

Srry for multi thread posting. Didn't know if I should have made this or post in the old.

Cos, can you suspend my subcription for now? I figured out why my card went lack of funds (the other cards were temps from family and have sinced expired). Someone apperently got hold of the replacement card for my expired one and had been using it while i was waiting on a replacement for that one. I'm trying to work this out with the bank. srry for not putting a hold sooner. this has taken longer then i thought. And when I get this sorted out can you combine this order with the next in the subcription and add the price of both together? I'm truely srry for making the order sit unpayed for so long. thank you ahead of time.

Does Channa use a Wayfinder?

I havn't seen one mentioned, doesn't mean she doesn't have one, it may not be on her during this particular trip though... especially after being captured as a slave

Good point. Forgot that detail.

Does Channa use a Wayfinder?

Granted. You get to play the Wizard in a 4e game.

I wish I was marooned on a desert island.

Granted. Your now on a sun parched island with nothing but sand around you with a horrible sunburn that leaves your skin a deep maroon color.

I wish I could find alien life.

Cancel... umm... canceled.

So... I don't have to do anything, right?

*nods* i wasn't with them when they got the book so i had assumed when they said they got it that it was the right one lol. Srry for confusing you cos

Damits Dungeon Table:

Instead the owner can command the table to grapple any single opponent, of large size or smaller, within 20' of the table. A successful grapple indicates that 1d4+1 tentacles lash out at the victim dragging them onto the table and attempting to pin them.

Tentacles... Why does it always have to be tentacles...

I think the judges may have thought this one was a joke for reasons best left known, but unsaid.

*facepalms* Oye, and right after our chat on this very topic too on friday huh Leeman? The unintended R rating seems to be the reject point.

Lol cancel the cancel Cos. Turns out they got the wrong book so I would like to keep this order going.

Hey Cos, can you cancel order #1148905 for me? I ended up getting the book as a gift. Thanks.

I'm gonna step in for a friend who entered and repost his item for you guys since I think Clark's still on page 2 and this was on page 4 lol. I'll pass on what you guys say to him next time I see him. IMHO, I think my friend went abit too gonzo here.

Forgive me if this isn't word for word, I cant seem to find my save of it. (Yes, SRD, I know, didn't know where to look for proper format til after the entry was submitted and zip file wouldn't open..."

Shard of Fractured Timelines:
A shard of fractured timelines looks like an ordinary quartz. Twice per day you may look through the shard and see several iterations of what may happen if you attempt certain tasks. It will let you see what would happen if you fail or succeed at your next skill check, but not what happens during it, for example using a shard on a search for traps would show you disarming the trap and you getting attacked by it, but not where the trap was.
In addition a chaotic character may equip a shard as a monocle as a standard action. Doing so provides a +1 insight bonus to all saves and to armor class. After wearing a shard in this manner for one minute per day, it will start to show you things that likely will not happen and all bonuses become an equal penalty due to bad information.

Moderate Divination; CL 8th; Craft wondrous item, divination; price 9000gp; weight negligible

Did I get owned by my srd or was my item too boring?

Order is finally here lol. Not sure where it hid but I have it now. Thanks again Cos

Now that the Message boards are back up, I would like to point out, that . . .

I did warn you.

:P

Indeed lol. And sadly my friend did not make it. Always next time

drum roll

Too early?

By about 2 mins now lol

I have a friend who entered that I'm rooting for. Course if he does get in the 32 I lose voting rights to be fair to everyone lol. Good luck to everyone though.

What? Who said you need to be fair to everyone? There is not a thing wrong with voting for your friend as far as they go. You can be fair and "objective" with your other votes if you like.

Lol, I forgot that each round lets ya have more then one vote. And after hearing that you voted for yourself makes me feel better about voting. But again good luck to all the top 32.

Making it - divisible!

Hey Cos, I fear that this order might have become lunch for the mail. From what I see, the order is about a week late. Then again I don't know how mail days got tossed due to weather. Thanks ahead of time for your help.

It is running a little late at this point, but it is most likely just delayed. Please give it another week, and if you still haven't seen it, let me know.

thanks,
cos

Will do Cos, though on a side note I had another order ship the same day as this order and it's arrived lol. But I'll keep my eyes on the box.

Are the larval akata vulnerable to salt water as well? Is there a way to cure void death infection with salt water, such as drinking it or performing surgery and applying it to the parasite directly?

this is actually pretty smart and my barbarian player has been asking about this treatment option lately ever since he got infected. I would recommend perhaps giving a +2 fort save bonus against the disease for enduring a saltwater in the wounds treatment.

Dude, I'm totally going to get lambasted for this now. The naming convention was just too cool (and too ingrained in my inner 9 year old's brain) not to ape. And the battle at the end (also on youtube) was terrifying and AWESOME.

LOL awesome vid Wes. I see why I drew a blank. I've never seen that fully.

So I dropped Lavender Lil into our game and she has caused all kinds of hilarity and now I have a pc who is in love with her! Anyone else get any use out of her and her relation to Zincher?

In CotV the PC's basicly save his rep by dealing with the drow. They could use that to free Lil from Zincher, though idk how well even that would work in terms of blackmailing a crime boss out of "his girl". That or swap skymetal for her freedom. I wish the PC well in this. Beyond that part of the AP idk how well you can use her.

And a certain Disney movie about witches. ^_~

Racked my brain and I'm drawing a blank. What movie Wes?

Landside-baded tsunamis are actually MUCH larger and dangerous than earthquake based ones; Riddleport's lucky that the math on this impact only sent a relatively small one and not a 100-foot-plus monster its way!

There's two real world examples to back this up. The tsunami a couple years ago and the one made during the eruption of Kakatoa(sp). The more current one was earthquake based and every video of it shows a small, though far inland pushing, wave while the island volcano blew up so badly that it basicly caused itself to collapse, forcing waves that were easily 1/4 if not more the height of the empire state building out toward nearby villages. Heck, it blew up and collaspe so violently that it was heard half way around the world.

I recall reading that one of you guys at the office there, I foget who and where I read it, said this was the creepiest spell they had ever seen written. And I can't blame them lol. I can't wait to get my friends on the end of this baby.

Think paizo could remake the game someday? I really love this game.

I'm sure Gary Gygax would have loved the monsters you guys have put in the PF bestiary(s). Ik I do.
