Ready. I just need to decide on new spells once we get through the night.
I say we go ahead and pick a player or two to complete the party and get things rolling again.
Indeed!

Welcome Sorak and Wynies!
Hello everyone! Nice to meet you!
Eager to start whenever it feels appropriate!
@GM: Forgot to ask, but is retraining allowed? If so, I'd like to retrain some HP to tank up a little more.
Level 3 > Roll 9 > +1 hp for 90gp
Level 4 > Roll 7 > +3 hp for 120gp each (360gp)
Level 5 > Roll 8 > +2 hp for 150gp each (300gp)
Level 7 > Roll 7 > +3 hp for 210gp each (630gp)
Level 9 > Roll 8 > +2 hp for 270gp each (540gp)
Level 10 > Roll 9 > +1 hp for 300gp
Total: +13hp for 2280gp
Hi everyone! Thanks for inviting me onboard!
EDIT: Actually I do need to finalize wealth. Lots of stuff to add up and make sure I'm under the cap. I'm sure I am since I estimated by underspending a bit.
I also think you have a bit more HP then your sheet says Wyniess :).

I had a loved one just die in my arms, posting will be reduced in terms of pace.
Although I am the GM here, and can totally add cameos of my very awesome grandma.
I am very VERY sorry to hear that sir. I personally would love to game with an NPC of your very awesome grandma. My sincerest condolences.
Also very, very sorry to hear it.
Lots of love for all the family. May the good memories you've shared with her warm you through this moment.
I'm very sorry Liliyashanina. My condolences to you and your family. I'm wishing all of you the best.
Very sorry for your loss, GM. Take break as long as you need. We will be fine until you are back in a decent headspace.
But also, welcome to the new players!
Today is a long work day for me, so I'll get a post up first thing on Friday.
Just catching up on recent posts. @Liliyashanina: Sorry for your loss. Take your time getting back to normal posting habits.
Welcome new players. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and your characters. I started this campaign as the GM but recently retired and shifted the responsibilities to Liliyashanina. I opted to create a character and join as a player because I very much want to see this story to the end if possible.
My posting schedule currently will be generally any time except Tuesday and Thursday when I'm working double shifts as a teacher. I sometimes can post in the afternoon on those days.
I may not be able to post much on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as I work a double shift those days. 'Bot me if necessary. I've written spoilers in my profile with dice-bot texts for common rolls like attacks and skills, so check there to quickly copy and paste the text for the 'bot rolls. Thanks.
Added a reference image for Sorak in his stat line!
I have mostly unf+*!ed myself enough, game will resume fully on wednesday!
My work schedule has changed. For the next five weeks, I'll be unable to post generally after 3 PM (same time zone as New York City) on Monday through Thursday. I'll check games in the morning and make what posts I can.
Also, I may be traveling on April 6-9. I should have some access to Wifi and a laptop, but if a post is needed in this period, please
'bot my character. It's possible the trip will not happen, in which case I'll let you know. (I'm hoping to see the total solar eclipse on April 8 in Ohio, USA.)
@GM: Not sure if you missed my knowledge roll... do I know anything about the place? Was waiting for an answer before posting again.
Need to check that give me a bit
I am sorry for not posting recently. As I said I would be, I was traveling since Saturday morning and while I had some time on the weekend with Internet access, I had trouble signing on to Paizo and could not bet a password reset to work. I'm just now able to post again, but now I'm crunched for time as I get caught up on my work and all my games. I'll post as soon as I can, but I'm okay with 'botting my character if it will help keep things from bogging down.
Prepping the next big fight, no pressure ;)
Sorak doesn't have any ability to do any extra recon. Also doesn't have spells and other ways of transportation lol.
I'm good with whatever you want to do.
@GM Liliyashanina: What is the Worldwound terrain? I could see it count as Planes (Abyss), but if not that, perhaps Desert?
Many times, terrains overlap, so many could apply because they focus in different things (plane, geography, vegetation, climate, etc). As an example, if we were to travel to a forested hill in a snow covered Abyssal realm, we could apply Cold, Forest, Mountain, and Planes (Abyss)!
If the Worldwound is indeed Planes (Abyss), then Sorak could easily go ahead the rest of the party to scout, since his skills will be amazing.
It counts as Planes Abyss and as Desert.
I need to prep spells, which may take me a while since there are a lot of options. I will look for spells that can help travel quickly.
What do we know about how far away the site is and any overland hazards to be aware of?
Should we move up to tier 4 since Sorak and Wyn are?
Should we move up to tier 4 since Sorak and Wyn are?
Nanana, we are special!

Yath gets fly ALL the time at next tier, and her feet will never touch the ground again :)
Belana: Challenge accepted either of you can get myth 4 next combat.
Ah, oh well. Yath can't help much with recon then. No overland flight, and teleport but she can't teleport everyone. Oh, wait she has scrying if anyone wants her to try that.
Wyniess has the ability to plot a course to our destination, making a K. Geography check and giving all of us a +2 (or +4 depending on the result) to a bunch of skills. We should for sure take advantage of that.
@GM: As per Yath's request, I'd like to try a knowledge check to figure if Sorak could know about some of the demons in a more personal level, if possible.
You actually remember the name Jaaruunicka. A truely ancient hag, who was rumored to have been part of a plot against Mestama, demonlord of hags, herself. The plot failed, but her survival and entry into the service of Shifkesh speaks of her considerable power. If one shoots at the queen and misses, but survives, one is close to queenhood oneself, perhaps.
You know that she has betrayed every single parlay in which she ever participated. And that she has an ability to cause treason and heresy by simply talking, perhaps akin to some wizards that can cover their spellcasting. Silence spells could be great ideas.
While popular with Shifkesh and Baphomet, she is a known foe of Mestama and Mazzmezz, of the former due to having plotted against her, of the later due to some type of robbery she performed.
You have also heard of Arueshalee. A Succubus who, is apparently genuines in her belief in Desna. It is the one who is hunted, interestingly however not by her former Nocticulan superiors, but by those pledged to Baphomet and Deskari, as well as by those hired by them.
Those pledged to the Lady in shadow seem to be... observing this Desnan Succubus, but not interfering. Something Desnas counterintelligence has picked up upon.
@GM: Are you planning on moving us anytime soon? It has been over 2 months since I've joined and so far we've RPed at the gate and then entered the city... at this pace, I'm afraid the year will go by before we reach our mission.
I'm concerned. Do you need some help with this AP? I'm asking this because I've noticed you posting frequently on other games and specially in recruitment threads...
Its like, GMing is a lot harder then posting especially with a degree of changes in characters, in addition, mythic is harder to balance then non mythic.
That and a loved one dying.
Oh well, lets get one with it. I am assuming everyone is satisfied with the precautions they took and are now off to the greengates monastery?
Map titled greengates is in my header.
It's a lot to do. You've been doing a lot of additional work, which is great for us, but I'd be okay with sticking to what the AP provides, with maybe a few modifications if those NPCs are under powered.
Also if you need more time to grieve, I'd understand and be okay with more delay.

Apologies, everyone. I lost my dot in the gameplay thread for some reason. I’ll get a post up tonight!
No worries, it was me who was radio silent! Oh, feel free to look Sorak in the eyes while you have detect evil on and he does his planewalker thing (please exhange a tidbit from each others backstories via visions).
The demons and their human seeming slaves/mercenaries are about to attack the tower again, you get one turn of buffing.
I assume the tower is the one in the SE corner. We could let them start the attack and then try to provide a second front.
Yeap, you could absolutely do that, they have not detected you yet.
Hum, is Wynies still with us? Her last post was almost 2 months ago.
I am assuming she is not.
Since a large combat is about to break out, I will do the following things:
--Init is rolled by me
--Saving throws are rolled by me, if you fail, I will include the information if it is surgable or not, so the use of resources is up to you
--Does anyone have something akin to opportune parry and riposte/guardians block etc. and if yes can you give me a recap? Does Ellena have Paladins sacrifice prepped?
@GM: Aside from Surge, I have nothing else that "disrupts" the combat flow. As a GM myself I know these are a pain, so I usually avoid those whenever possible.
Just to laugh at myself, my last massive fight I ran was a 3 sided fight.
And I was like, yes, lets run the next one by the book.
But I had a soundtrack in mind, some possible plot developments, and getting players to actually think about decisions.
To get you guys (and girls) in the mood, the gm approved soundtrack for the first phase of this battle.
I don't think Yath has anything... but let me look. Nope, all good to go.
She does not, GM.
@GM: Sorak's initiative is +10 and he has +8 on top of that thanks to Favored Terrain. This would put him at 26 and among those that are up I believe.
True, I went by your init at the time I looked at your header :).
