Assuming that's ok with you of course :-)
Need 24 hrs - hope I can retro bets etc
Glad the GM got the reference :)
It's not a proper game without a Monty Python reference :-)

I had a rule in my home game that every Monte Python reference immediately earned you one negative level that could never be removed.

Cool! Three more Python references and I get to play as a Lich!
We used to have a punch buggy rule for MP references... but mainly because it led to a 30 minute quote fest most games that screwed up game play.
These days, as one of the elderly, I take comfort in the odd MP reference
Yeah, it's a good thing this is an online game or you likely would've heard me say when we first met Biffy: "A tiger??!! In Chateau d'Ambreville??!!"
Been furiously ill for the last few days. Bear with me for another 24 hours.

Rest up and get well.
I am beyond impressed by how you are running this! This is beyond amazing!
Sorry - update in a few hours - Non-Standard Life Event occurring.
Sorry for the brief hiatus - I'm currently between jobs and every hiring manager in London has suddenly arrived back from holiday and wants applications, tech tests, phonecalls, interviews etc. This means I have to spend loads of time doing that, and, worst of all, actually iron some shirts! I've been a bit distracted. I'll post something later this evening.

Its all good. Good luck with the job hunt!
That's a relief. I was afraid the game had died!
Ah the joys of the job hunt. Going through it myself. Best of luck!
If all else fails, come across the pond! Berks here assume anyone with an accent must be a bloody genius.
Yes, but can you get a decent cup of tea?
Best bring your own and make it yourself. :-)

Tea? Bleh!
What skill is used to fire the bombards?
Bombard is a ranged attack, so BAB plus DEX, with a -4 unless someone is proficient in cannons.
As for my week, I have had 9 interviews in 6 days. Just waiting to hear.
Just wanted to make sure.... Was it Capt. Marie-Therese who read/sang the sea shanty?
No, it's just a bit of background fluff - maybe compiled after the event. I suppose Marie-Therese could have written it. Or maybe Stephen, who should be back from being dead real soon now.
We appear to have lost Corlan, which is rather unfortunate as he is the center of the current events.
That sucks. Can we play on without him? Either get someone else in the tub or 'lose' the encounter and move on?
We'll play out the encounter, and then we'll see what happens.

This is playing out far more colourfully AND how I would see the Ambers playing out warping the very reality they live in better than I remember the module as having been.
Could Celeste use Interstellar void. To freeze the water in the Gropey hot-tub?

They're probably a bit far away to freeze, but sure, I'll certainly let you chill their hot-tub water to freezing cold, which will be, like, totally bogus dude, and give them a large circumstance penalty to pretty much everything.

When they get within 30' feet she will.
Shrinkage man!
Sorry!!! I'm back!
Looks like Corlan gave his stuff to Lucia. I totally don't remember that.
So...I'll try to get Corlan his longsword back next round if someone else will man the cannon.
GM: What would be involved in getting the sword back to Corlan? How far is he from 'shore?'
Well, you could attempt a heroic R2D2-to-Luke toss with Corlan plucking it out of the sky...
Or Lucia could rip the door off a cupboard and try surfing out to him...
Ask Mordan to summon an eagle?
Anyway...
"Well isn't that just typical!" bubbles the water elemental angrily. "That's all we are to summoners, isn't it? Something disposable. You use us and then cast us aside, once you've had your satisfaction. You drag us out of our homes and trap us...wherever the hells this is. You lead us on and then you break our hearts..."
It sobs quietly.. "I have a name you know. You didn't even bother to ask that, did you. I'm just a...a thing to you. Sit on that man' head, put out his hair, then clear off. I feel. I compose poetry. I have depths. But no - just pluck me from the water then walk away once you have no more use for me..."
"I suppose I'll just slope off and sit in some cistern or something until whatever anchoring magic is in this place dissipates. Don't worry about me. Not that you ever did. You heartless bastard."
It begins to slope off moistly down the hallway.
This was bloody amazing! Shades of Douglas Addams as well
I didn't consciously mean to channel Marvin, but now you mention it I can see it.
"Trapped in Chateau D'Ambreville? The first million years were the worst..."
Just back from PaizoCon Australia. Gimme a few hours to post
I'm going to be without internet access until Monday afternoon (though I should have a brief posting window on Sunday). Bot my character as needed.
I was on holiday for a few days. Back now
Sorry about the delay - I had laser eye surgery, and it screwed my eyes for a bit - I couldn't look at a screen for very long.
Err...how are so many zombies attacking us through the doorway? Kind of defeats the whole purpose of bottlenecking them. That being said, bottlenecking in a PbP game can get awfully boring for those not in the front line....
So...run away??!!
While we have a quiet moment perhaps Celeste can now try to indentify the Ioun stones.
How many spellcraft checks does she need to make?
Oh yeah, the ioun stones. I'll assume you take the time you need to work this out:
1 Dusty Rose Prism (+1 insight bonus to AC)
1 flawed Clear Spindle (no need to eat, but must drink twice as much. Whisky counts)
1 Nacreous Grey Sphere - immune to aging
1 cracked Pale Ruby Trillian - +1 to Stealth checks
1 Tourmaline Sphere (die at -CON+2 hp instead of -CON hp)
2 dull grey stones that don't appear to do anything
Of course, to get the benefits you have to have them whirling around your head. Anywhere else that might look ridiculous. Here...
Tourmaline Sphere (die at -CON+2 hp instead of -CON hp)
Hopefully that's -[Con+2] hp, as opposed to [-Con] + 2 hp!
In case it is not obvious, I have no idea how people from Kentucky speak.
Quick Note: I'll probably be offline for the next couple of days (jury duty tomorrow (at the least); holiday Friday). I hope to catch up on Saturday and will give an update then if I actually get picked for a jury.
Hi all - I've been rather unwell hence the silence. Bear with me please, and I'll post a bunch of updates tomorrow.
I've been in a depressive slump for the last 2 weeks so the slow down in game play is okay by me.
As the GM and some of you may know, I don't have home internet and post from my local library. Well, I went to the ER last night and found out that I have a kidney stone. The doctors are hoping I'll pass it within a week. Right now the pain's not bad, so my tentative plan is to visit the library briefly every other day to catch up/stay current in the games I play on these forums. If the pain gets as bad as I'm told it might, that's subject to change. So if I disappear...that's the reason. I'll try to post an update when I can.
The GM may bot my character as he sees fit.
