A River Into Darkness - GM Justaworm (Inactive)

Game Master justaworm

Guys, I've been getting over a throat infection that slowed me down a lot more than I expected. Hopefully I will get things back to normal this weekend.

I thought I might have more opportunity while out of town to play but that isn't likely going to be the case. I will be back to normal Wednesday, though likely a post wouldnt happen until late.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Back in action, working on a post tonight. Thanks for hanging in there!
We spent an extra day with my family in Florida and made it in last night.

Terrible week at work. I've basically worked, got home, spent time with kids before bed, slept, and started each day over. We have a big design review with the government coming up next week and hopefully normalcy returns afterwards. I will push as soon as I have a free hour.

Things should be settled down now and I hope to keep the pace moving a little better than before. Hope you are still along for the ride!

In case it needs to be said, Selena is just listening at this point and ready to move on.

Shwarto, Shakaro hit is with his response. He did 13 pts of area damage with the Thorn Burst ability. I was a little torn because it is listed as an area affect ability, though on the other hand what is a bunch of thorns going to do to 'weapon immune' fine gnats... I went with the rules as written here though.

I liked this random encounter more of the ambiance effect than any significant danger it posed. Disease, falling off the boat, and destroying the boats cargo were the biggest hazards.

Fair enough. Quite reasonable if slightly unexpected (NOT a criticism at all).

Thanks for the explanation.

"turbo monkey," did not think I would see that in English and have it make sense, lol... (German "superturboaffengeil" is the closest)

I rebuilt Stig in Herolab, taking away one of his archetypes, because it makes my head hurt to keep up with, and changing his gear slightly. Having it on my alias makes it much easier to keep up with. He will most likely be dropped off at an appropriate story point though, and I think for now you all are fine with 4 1/2 PCs :).

He does have some pretty useful gear though, so take a look in the event that you need some of his assistance and I don't think about it. I am going to try and keep him as faithful to his character as I can in the meantime, though deliberately trying to not cross any GM lines.

So it looks like we can grab the Ironfang books for 50% right now used. Do any of you have these? Was it a good AP?

You know, the funny thing about that AP was that when I heard that there was going to be an AP featuring mass combat covering the Nirmathas-Molthune War, I thought "great! Now we can take control of the Molthune Army and conquer all the things!"

For those of you who didn't know, you end up being on the Nirmathas side.

I don't have any APs. I only recently bought the Core rulebook and the GM book. I've been relying on d20pfsrd up until this point. I haven't played many premade adventures, either. I've been thinking of getting some just to get ideas for things to do in my own campaign(s). I also don't know much about the Pathfinder canon universe, haha ^_____^"

You should watch for when they run a Humble Bundle promotion. You can usually pick up a ton of stuff that way for minimum $15 and max of however much more you want to donate to charity.

The APs and the setting guide definitely help with the Golarion universe

I’m going on vacation for a couple of weeks. Not sure what kind of internet access I will have so feel free to gmpc Waseem and Jaqu if I’m holding up the game.

Thanks Waseem, I'm sure we'll all miss the witty telepathic banter.

River Cruise by any chance? :)

We’re in Peru. Machu Picchu etc.i think there’s a boat tour at one point or another, hopefully no turbo monkeys!

Wow, that sounds awesome. Enjoy!

Tour proper starts tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it’s going as internet access allows.

Where are we located on the Whitebridge Station map? The main pier?

You are currently on the River Queen in the channel about 100ft from the pier downriver. The captain won't go any closer as to him there is nothing more important than the ship.

You will have to take the rowboat from the River Queen, but you can set in wherever you would like: likely the pier or in the jungle perpendicular to the River Queen.

FYI I'm going out to the country for the weekend (for my brother's wedding) and probably won't have net access. I should be back on track Monday.

I've had a lot on my plate this week, but I will have a chance to push the next round later today.

Hmm, we may have lost Waseem too. I will push on later tonight.

Sorry, I’ve been distracted. I’ll get a post up soon!

I don't know if the rat thing will work or not, but I wanted to try and this looks to be one of the best times to go for it.

I will be on vacation for the next week or so, but I should be able to still post.

Sorry for the delay on my end. I've been taking the kids to swim classes in the mornings this week (through next week), which has cut into my usual gaming management time. I will try to get on later tonight.

Technically Jaqu wouldn’t have ‘died’ until he got to -13 hit points. He would be automaticly dissmissed when Wassem summoned the spider.

I appreciate the flavor!

Also, I'm back from my vacation, so technically, I should be set.

Thanks guys, I've made it through the hectic 2 weeks and my schedule should be back to normal now. I'll get an update out there late tonight or tomorrow.

Honestly, I can't think of much more terrifying things that a horse sized spider charging from out a web and biting into me .... *shudder*

will get in an update later today or tomorrow.

Cautiously optimistic the site is back up

Fingers crossed !

The good news is that I had a post ready for when it came back online. But wow, down for 5 days? That is pretty much unheard of.

Clearly something went really wrong. But the issue seems to have been fixed.

I had enough time to see that the site was back up right before it went back down. All fingers crossed it's actually fixed this time!

Seems like it has been down more than not. If its up this weekend, I will hopefully be able to get an update in. Either way, enjoy your Labor Day weekend.

Hey everyone, I will be out of town for the next week and half. I will try and get updates in when I am able.

Heads up, I may not get a chance to post until the weekend. Sorry about any lack of fun ....

Hello folks.

I'm afraid I've been bedridden for several days. My stomach is still in knots but I'm starting to feel better and I hope to catch up soon.

Bot me in the meantime if necessary.

Ok, I am back'ish. I had an unexpected family situation come up. My morning time is a bit more limited for now, but I will get things rolling again here.
Thanks for you patience, and I hope everyone is doing well.

Take as much time as you need.

It's been crazy on my end, as well. Usually is, haha ^__^"

Yes, no worries on this end! You do you ;)

If any of you guys are in Canada, Happy Thanksgiving!

Those of you in the US, Happy Columbus Day (or Happy "Guy Who Was Looking For China and Ended Up In Puerto Rico" Day).

As a side note, one of Columbus' old maps has been uncovered and published recently. It was pretty interesting to see what explorers in that time understood and didn't understand about the world.

Cool! Happen to have a link?

Hey all, I am really struggling with free time, sorry about the lack of updates. Every day I think "tomorrow I will get a chance", but then it doesn't happen. Just wanted to let you know what was going on.

Guys: I've been having internet connectivity issues the last few days. My connection has been going out for long periods. I'm hoping that the problem is over but I can't say for sure.

I'm going to try and get caught up but since my window for posting may be limited I will handle threads that require short posts first.
