:(
I actually got some encouraging news tonight: the reason they ended up back in the hospital was due to a side effect from an earlier treatment. They were put on heavy calcium supplements back before the cancer diagnosis, and too much calcium can cause weird issues. So that was diagnosed right away and they should be back home early this coming week. Assuming there's not yet another curve ball...
Knock on wood!
They say no news is good news, but sometimes...sometimes it really is good news. Let's hope it stays that way.
That is encouraging news!
Sorry yesterday was the first day of school back with students, It was craazy!
FYI. I am out of town this week, visiting my mom (in largely unvaccinated east central Illinois...yay).
Good luck. Mask up, and try to stay safe.
Uuugh, one of my classes has been exposed to COVID, by the 3rd day of school!
Ugh. They really need to suck it up and face the reality that with numbers rising everywhere due to delta, remote learning needs to remain a valid option.

The whole damn WORLD needs to suck it up and face the reality that the pandemic was never OVER once we got a vaccine, because that vaccine still needs to be distributed and a majority of people THE WORLD OVER need to receive it for it to be effective because otherwise STUFF LIKE DELTA WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!/rant
Sorry for edging into the political spectrum but how everything regarding this has been handled makes me feel AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
I am up to 13 students having to quarantine as of a few moments ago. So far 3 cases of the virus that I am aware of,
*Sigh*
Stay safe.
My niece refuses to get the vaccine because she "doesn't know what's in it". I don't even know where to begin with that.
I got her daughter, who turned 13 this year, a couple of graphic novels that include coming-of-age themes, including Vol 1 of Wayward. My niece decided it was "too old" for her because it features a girl, her daughter's age, cutting herself and it contains a fair bit of bad language. But, her live-in boyfriend, who she kicked out for being physically abusive and then took back in, and who she caught smoking meth, is apparently OK.
My niece is a real piece of work.
Wow. I'm sorry for her daughter.
3 cases so far in the school and I have like 40 kids in quarantine. I should be back this weekend.
Ready to begin again!
What's left to explore here?
Just the courtyard at this point. Outstanding items (since it's been a while):
- Cleaning the chapel area
- Identifying the armor and dagger from the demon's lockbox
I had an argument with a parent today whose kid who has to quarantine because they have Covid over telling the student she could do a worksheet when she got back. I was told I was a terrible teacher...
Was...the parent demanding the kid be exempt from the worksheet entirely? I know MY mother would have said what you told the student was perfectly reasonable!
No, she was mad that I told the student she did not have to do it until she got back to school.
What? Did she want them to do it right away or something? They were mad at you for even OFFERING an accomodation?!
Ya.
Arloric, there are potions of CSW in the loot pile. See the loot sheet link at the top.
Will post in a bit. I can use Lay on Hands. Was planning on burning the rest off as offensive attracts but healing is a big deal.

Let's retcon it and assume you did healing before moving on. I think that would make sense given his HP total.
Entitled parents think they can do and say as they please.
Alright, I'll admit that's a definite first. With parents that entitled, you'd think they'd jump at a chance for their child to be accommodated...
3 cases in the last 24 hours, including a football player who had a football game on Friday and the aftergame festivities....

Shall we, then? I'm itching to carve up a nabassu!
Arloric, your HP should be a LOT higher than 41. Something is wrong on your char sheet. By my calc, using PFS rules, you have:
8+5*5 = 8 + 25 = 33 HP base for character level
+ 6 HP for Con bonus
+ 6 HP favored class bonus (or are you putting that into skills?)
+ 5 HP boon granted at the end of book 1
+ 5 HP 1st guardian tier
+ 3*6 = 18 HP for Exposed to Awfulness campaign trait
----------------
= 73 HP
Unless none of us succeed the will save.
Don't forget: hero points let you reroll any d20, or add +4 to the results after a roll (since we can preview rolls here, I can't give you the option of adding a +8 before the roll is known).
I'll spend the point. And give everyone a second roll.

Excellent work there. That first round was looking rough.
Does anyone have any flight spells or things of that nature?
Owlcat's WOTR game is AWESOME!
I've tried recreating Arloric in it, but it's not really effective: there's no option for planetouched types to pass for human, so he'd have to have horns and a tail if I play him as a tiefling, and when you type in the name, his fully hyphenated surname won't fit. And there's no real way to roleplay his Sarkorian heritage from the options I've seen. There IS the Mendevian Orphan background, but I imagine that won't really reference Sarkoris in dialogue. *shrug*
I was thinking about buying it.
Hey all, I think Kelly has dropped. It's not just our game though: there are no recent posts from their most active aliases since late June, which suggests priorities have shifted for them.
I'll run their char through the current combat.
I forgot to update her stat line.
Okay, seriously, I asked this question earlier and I didn't get an answer.
Does anyone have any way of granting flight to our front-liners? The nabassu can fly, and we can't afford to fight it outside otherwise.
Unless Telarin can cast Fly I'd assume not. Granting the ability to fly isn't really something most classes can do. We have ranged weapons that work just fine and actually have a better range than most of the demon's abilities.
I do not have that spell in my repertoire.
Well, perhaps we can get away with crippling its wings so it can't fly.
Worth a try, but targeting individual limbs is under optional rules

I am OK with incorporating called shots. You might find an opponent doing the same in turn, though.
hehe fair is fair.
I am pretty easy-going, or like to think I am, anyway. :) If you want to use something new on a case-by-case basis, I am up for it as long as it's not 3pp or obviously broken. For example, I have a group that likes to occasionally use dirty trick combat maneuvers. The effects are minor but they are fun, and can be a good use of an action if you can't otherwise be effective. And I give small bonuses for creative thinking because telling a good story together is part of the enjoyment.
For called shots, I won't initiate them as I think debilitating conditions tend to punish PC's more than NPC's except in certain circumstances (such as this one). PC's are expected to live and thus have to deal with them, while NPC's either die or exit. So I'll leave that up to you.
