Very sorry for my absence, but the house has been a freezing and dusty nightmare for the last few weeks. The builders have been very slow in getting things done and the trying to live a normal life under these circumstances has been nigh on impossible. At last the roofing in almost complete, as said most walls are down, but we are waiting for the weather to improve enough to have the rendering at the front done, before we can get the front of the house watertight. It goes rendering, balcony then windows and doors.
At the back of the house we are running the kitchen out of boxes as we wait from the kitchen room to complete its build and the kitchen installed. We have no work surfaces except for the top of the fridge and cooker. Hopefully we will have a kitchen installed by the end of February, the floor is down, just waiting for the water from the mains to be connected to the new pipework, which is being dug out now. 1st fit electrics done, now for plasterboards and plastering to be done, including the ceiling etc.
So life has been a bit rough, (not to mention my wife's car was written off when the wind blew my son's motorbike into it, looking to get another car very quickly).
It meant I stopped posting in all games and haven't been on the Paizo boards at all.
We are coming out the other end.
If you are still wanting me to continue in the game, I can start posting more regularly after the weekend.

Guys, I'm going to have to beg your indulgence for a short while. I've had several very long work days (12+ hours) in a row, and this afternoon just as I was sitting down to update my PbPs my father called to tell me my mother is in the hospital. I'm not likely to worth anything for a day or two. Please bear with me and DMPC as needed.

Shisumo - I realize that it's been a while since your post. I hope your mother's OK. Mine had a cancer scare last year, but she's recovered. Brutal.

potion of invisibility
22 gp
Ralf
wand of Glyph of Warding (5 charges)
thunderstone

My mom is much better. Thanks for asking. We thought at first she'd had a stroke, which is why I was so unsettled, but it turned out to be dehydration and low salt levels. Still could have killed her if my dad didn't get her in to the hospital when he did, and it took a few days to get her home again, but she's pretty much back to normal now.
Back on topic, I am mildly inclined to keep one of the hand crossbows, just because Torch is proficient with it and it might come in handy someday, but otherwise I think it's a good split.

I'll go back and check .. oooh so I did ... best update the sheet ...
Although my character doesn't want to , I'm not worried about the detour to the lake ...
... well I am worried ... just think we should go there too.
Anyone breath underwater????

Maestro Gelikugel Abermonkey |

We really dropped the ball on this one. I forgot about the sunken treasure, and we never bought any of the supplies in Kalabuto that we might need to explore underwater. Gelik is all for treasure, but when it comes down to it, all he can do is hold his breath for a few rounds. If anything happens, he can't cast any spells. Useless. We might have to give this a pass unless Ralf or Kamal can cast soem kind of water breathing spells.

GM BT - What can we get in Kalabuto for the wand of Glyph of Warding (5 charges) and several doses of spider vine poison?

Black Tom |

Oh, I'm sure he's coming back. I just meant that he's not currently available. RL issues make me a little grumpier than usual.
By the way, Ralf is your primary healer, but if you think a fifth/sixth character would help, we could certainly recruit one.
So in the absence of helpful magic, I suggest that you leave the wreck alone and proceed with your quest, as per Ralf's suggestion.

Thanks BT for everything, its been a blast with you as the GM. Should you ever want to come back into the gaming fold at the Paizo boards, I for one would welcome you with open arms.
Good Luck with the future and thanks once more ....
... Guys, I would really like to carry on if we can either find a GM, or one of us takes over GMing and we get a replacement character....
whant do you think?

PbemDM |

BT - Thanks for a great gaming experience! Best of luck in the future. I hope whatever your reasons are for dropping, they aren't too negative.
I'd like to continue playing, but I can't GM. I have a Play-by-email game that takes up all of my DMing time. If any of the current players want to jump in and DM, that's fine with me.
