”The nostalgia of things unknown, of lands forgotten or unfound, is upon me at times. Often I long for the gleam of yellow suns upon terraces of translucent azure marble, mocking the windless waters of lakes unfathomably calm; for lost, legendary palaces of serpentine, silver and ebony, whose columns are green stalactites; for the pillars of fallen temples, standing in the vast purpureal sunset of a land of lost and marvellous romance. I sigh for the strange and hidden cities of this world, with burning brazen domes and slender pinnacles of gold and copper, that pierce a heaven of heated lazuli.”

OK, first things first: sincere apologies for lack of posts.
Good news: I got a promotion. Bad news: I now have a metric ****-ton of extra work to do, plus travel.
I’m still around, but I won’t be able to post once a day. We’re looking like – at best – every other day. If I am holding stuff up please just bot me and I’ll do my best to catch up.

Yay, promotion! That's exciting!

So, how will you guys deal with this?
I want to move the game, but I also don’t want to deny the players the choice of what to do about the current situation.

I think we (I guess Damiel and I) had decided that Damiel would attempt to talk to our shadow.

sounds good to me...Vik has no idea what is going on...being a city boy and all :-)

Today is the 6 month anniversary of when we started this campaign (August 28.) Might be a good time to look back on the adventure and character development. We're still in the first book so we haven't had too major of a story arc yet.

Well, I've made a couple of changes to the normal game, and there was one major turning point, you guys just aren't aware of the implications yet. :D

Thank you for GMing Aku! I'm invested in the multiple stories going on so I'm always excited to see new posts from everyone. We have Djbelle's horse, Tegan's sister, the bandits...

I've updated the map with the explored areas, as well the points of interest.

@Tegan
Rendyl will be able to tell you that the giant frogs are just that, giant frogs. They have 1 INT score, and are just some wild animals.

We lost power Friday at 1800, and it didn't come back till Sunday morning. Did spend Saturday afternoon and night over my sons house, but they had not internet service as that was down where they lived. At least it was warm. Spent yesterday just cleaning up and enjoying the warmth at home. Will get something out tomorrow, as I have to go to work this afternoon.
Paladin/6
GM, do you mind updating our timeline? I've forgotten where we are. Charting the territory throws me off.

Goodness, Damiel...weekend from Hell. Glad to have you back. :)
Human Hero Killer1 / Holy Assassin1 / Deceiver2
@Tegan
I'll do over weekend. To tell the truth, I'm lost as well on the timeline. I'll have to go back to the last event mentioned, then log all events after that, and their date. That might take some time, so I'll do it once I'm free and lazying about on weekend.
Paladin/6
@Damiel: That sounds like a loooong weekend!
@Aku: I think tile exploration is the most confusing part. Side note: I'll have to pick a random day to be Tegan's birthday. Probably some time in Winter.

In case you missed it.... Pathfinder Second Edition

What?! But Starfinder just came out! They should focus on Starfinder.

Exploring sounds good to me!

I'll update later today when I get home.

Been sick as a dog and exhausted since Wednesday. My son and I went to JFK airport (209 miles round trip) on Wednesday evening to pick up 10 puppies being flown in from Cayman Islands (he is the Adoptions Manager at the local SPCA), and didn't get home till 1:00AM, after putting them in their pods for the night. Exhausted, cold and sick for me....
And Happy St. Patrick Day. My grandsons 24 birthday.

@Damiel
Hope things are better for you.
@Tegan
I lied! I slept the entire weekend due to sickness and ended up not updating the timeline, sorry. :(
@All
So, it seems we lost Djebelle as well.
What you guys prefer at this point?
Keep her as NPC and cleric of the party?
Or recruit some new players to join us?

Hope you're feeling better, Aku!
As for Djebelle, I feel that 4 is probably an ok party size, but the lack of healing is definitely not. Maybe we should pick up a cleric thru recruitment?
Paladin/6
I was creeping on Djebelle's other characters. She got a promotion in February and was handed a lot more work and travel. I'm happy for her promotion, but I'm sad I won't know the story behind her horse! :(
I think one to two new players would be great!
Where are the Sootscale Kobolds in the Kamelands and Tatzlwyrm supposed to be? I think the four current players could probably complete those encounters.
Human Hero Killer1 / Holy Assassin1 / Deceiver2
The kobolds are somewhere south of the trading post, no one knows for sure.
As for the Tatzlwyrm... that's even a deeper mystery.
You guys can try a knowledge local, to gather information about rumors and see if you can pinpoint a location for your search.
Paladin/6
See y'all in a month, Gun Goddess Miss Fortune just released. Just kidding... or am I? ;) Man, I just reactivated my World of Warcraft subscription too and Wizards are AMAZING on Diablo 3 right now. Too many games!
Music really pulls me into games. I love the Gun Goddess song (reminds me of Starcraft) and the loading screen music for Warcraft AHHHH!!! I don't even know what to do with myself! XD
Human Hero Killer1 / Holy Assassin1 / Deceiver2
Moved the party token on the map.
@Damiel, hope things get better.

DM Aku wrote: @Damiel, hope things get better. @DM - Things were not bad, just busy, but a good busy.
Also, I believe that you said that Hylaen has dropped. It appears that perhaps Djebelle and Vik may have dropped also. Any word from them?
Paladin/6
Yeah it feels like we lost half our players over night.

I'm home...but I don't think I'm who you're looking for.
CG Male Human rogue 13 Archetype(Scout) / Trickster 5
@DM Aku - Are you still here?
If you are going to continue, without Vik, Djebelle and Hylaen, I could drop Damiel and bring in a healer type (Soul Weaver) to replace Djebelle and you could recruit a Warrior (barbarian, fighter, etc) and a Rogueish character, which might be easier than another SoP character.

Human Hero Killer1 / Holy Assassin1 / Deceiver2
Here!
Sorry! It’s been some hectic months since the new manager joined the company. I’m most likely changing jobs in the next few weeks, so I reckon it might get better.
@all
So, how many others you want me to recruit? 2 and keep Djebelle as healer? Or 3 and ditch the cleric?

Sorry all...I have been having trouble trying to see Vik in this game at the moment...he seems to have become irrelevant to the story. I am not sure why that is...he had tried to connect with several characters, but for the most part, he was ignored.
I have played with DM Aku before, and really like his style, but I am just not sure if continuing with Vik is a good idea, or perhaps come back with a different character...
CG Male Human rogue 13 Archetype(Scout) / Trickster 5
@Vik - Whether you play Vik, or leave, or come back with another character is up to you and the DM. My opinion, we need a fighter, so I believe that you should stay with Vik.
@DM - If Vik stays; Option A - recruit a Roguish character, Damiel leaves and I bring in a Soul Weaver; Option B - recruit a Healer character and I stay with Damiel. I am ok with either, but I sorta like Option A.
@DM - We are in F12 and that is where the undead dude, Davik, is, right? I am "assuming" that the cave and mite are in F10? I'll post after the answers to this question, and the Vik / cleric question. It will make a difference on what Damiel suggest.
-- david aka Damiel

Paladin/6
Irrelevant to the story?! They took your best friend and loyal companion - your valiant steed! If anyone should want to go kill a bunch of bandits, I think it should be Vik. Vik is the master swordsman. (The best in the greenbelt!) Enemies will learn to flinch when they hear the whistle of his blade!
I'm enjoying Vik but you should play whatever makes you happy. That might be reworking Vik's personality and motives - or perhaps creating a whole new character. You should play whatever makes you happy. I think if we have two witches or two paladins or two of the same whatever, we can make it work.
To your connection note: I think Tegan has trouble connecting with people (which isn't great if you need to be a team.) Maybe defeating the Stag Lord will prove to be the "team-building exercise" that solidifies the party? I'm not married to Tegan's character outline so if I need to change some things about how she interacts or her abilities, I can.
I'm a peppy, happy person so Tegan's reserved nature is difficult to rp sometimes. I guess what I'm saying is that I am seperate from my character and I appreciate and value everyone in this game. Tegan has this troubled past; I don't. Tegan is skeptical; I'm gullible. And omgosh if I had a pet mule irl I would constantly be baby-talking to him/her. I can't imagine Tegan doing that XD
Human Hero Killer1 / Holy Assassin1 / Deceiver2
I've added the crossing token (E13) and the Mite was found on F12, which is where the party token currently is.
Human Hero Killer1 / Holy Assassin1 / Deceiver2
@Vik
I need you to decide if you still want to play, and if yes, with Vik or with another class.
@Damiel
That's fine for me, if you want to chance classes as well.
If you want to keep Damiel and just change the class, that's okay as well.
Male Human male, Fighter-2, HP: 16, AC: 16 Fighter
I will stay with Vik for the moment..maybe a bit of a change in his personality might make him a little more interesting and approachable...
CG Male Human rogue 13 Archetype(Scout) / Trickster 5
@DM - I'll stay with Damiel for now. Let us see how the recruitment for a healer goes, before I change anything. If it goes poorly, I'll do a complete character change, including new alias, but we will see.
