Have we checked any of the recovered items for magic? If the items themselves are the keys, it's possible they'd register as such with a detect magic.

As far as posting rates go, I really like both this game and this group! I certainly hope we can keep going - this is one of the longest running games I've been priveledged enough to play in; it'd be a shame if it fell apart on us now!
Any suggestions for languages Sabinus should learn via the headband? He already speaks Infernal, Osiriani, Varisian, Shadowtongue, and Abyssal, and I guess can pick up 5 more now. And does Sabinus get one more because his INT bonus is now +6, or is that only for starting languages?
Whoa--that's a lot! Can you keep language slots open? :D Hard to say what we will need yet.
You get another for the Int boost.
I think draconic and elven are always solid choices. I don't know if there's ever been an adventure where something didn't show up written in draconic or elven at least once. Giant is probably a safe bet too. If you want to pick up any summon monster spells, the elemental/planar languages will be helpful in communicating with whatever you summon.
You get another for the Int boost.
Correct.
As for posting rate, if you're posting at least once a day, my earlier message is largely not for you. Weekends I'm much more lenient about, I tend to think of those more as a bonus if we can post during that time.
Sorry about my absence and for not checking in. My lung collapsed on boxing day and my summer classes started a week ago and I've had a fairly full plate. (I kind of assumed Ava would cover for me and didn't PM, sorry!). I'm more than willing to step up my posting to keep the game rolling again. I'll have two more weeks of full time classes and another week of assessments and then I'm off until March.
I'm sad to have missed the chance to roleplay over the downtime. The quiet spells in this game have been some of the most awesome, roleplay wise. I'm also annoyed to find I didn't actually finish leveling up nor save all the numbers I crunched (at least fighters are fairly simple in that regard). I'll get on that as soon as I catch up in the gameplay thread.
Edit: Have we considered that our Erinyes head might be the key? Or that there's a password?
Hope you're feeling better!
It's a good thought about the Erinyes. Another good reason we shouldn't destroy the head just yet.
The lovely female Pathfinder smirks at Lucon, giving him a long look, before shrugging and attempting to answer the large carpenter, "Not yet there isn't. Personally, I think this lead we're following will give us some answers. But other than they're shadowy, nasty, and a plague upon this city, I can't say."
Having said her piece she turns to Yako with an arched eyebrow and mouths the word 'Mister!?' to the irreverent gnome. Yako smiles evilly and gives carpenter a sinister look of promised revenge.
Oh boy, serves me right for falling behind. Oops :P. I'll admit I've kind of lost the thread of things a little bit, so I'm glad to be chasing new plot threads. It should give Lucon a chance to speak up a bit more.
...why are all these devils speaking Abyssal? :p
I might be unavailable for the next 48 hours, depending on whether or not I have access to the internet. If all else fails, I should be able to make brief posts from my phone.
I'm ready to proceed to the cove whenever. FYI, I'll be out of town this weekend, including most of Monday (MLK day). So, I'll be able to post during the day on Friday (until about 3pm PST), but then I may not be able to post again until Tuesday morning.
Also ready to proceed. Enjoy your out-of-town-ness, Sabinus! =)
Anyone chipping in for the wayfinder? I just want to get that daylight oil (so good for the hair, adds body and shine) and then we are good.
I've offered up to 200 gp for the wayfinder. Just let me know how much is needed and I'll update my personal coffers!
Lucon can chip in too.
Have a good weekend, folks. I'm off soon. Too bad the Paizo site went down when it did...
Cya when you get back Sabinus. Those darn outages can kiss my face.
Looks like. I have a connection, so I may try to sneak a peek. But this is family time...
Plrrrp. Looks like the servers ate my post. Ah well, it was just me failing a survival check; so I'll leave that to Caladius.
Mine too! Yaaarrrrggggghhhhh.
Just had to get that out of my system.
Gahhhh why was I not more diligent in researching Shadows in-character and stocking up? OOC I knew they were coming, but taking the initiative is something I don't do enough of as Lucon. Definitely something I have to work on.
I guess I can't hope to be prepared for every challenge the party face. Here's hoping there's more to this next installment than magic locks, incorporeal beasties and cryptic puzzles.
@Lucon, happy to be a part of your longest/furthest running AP! :) I certainly hope to have this AP finished within two years, and if we could do it in one that'd be icing on the cake. Not that I'm eager to stop playing of course, but rather I'd like to have things move faster for you all as a group.
It's not too late to retro the reach weapon. Obviously like to avoid too many retro benefiting players once combat starts, but due to your absence and intention to pick one up, it's fine with me. What? You don't like oars? ;)
Cheers!
So...after a review of the rules, it looks like one cannot use a Sp Touch Attack and UAS at the same time. :(
Ahhh nuts. :)
So one or the other huh?
As far as I can tell. However, I could flurry one UAS and one Touch attack.
Man, Enko, I am still just so delighted in that level of cleric you picked up. What a dramatic and fun choice that was. Props, yo!
Thank ye, Caladius! I'd done research for a while, trying to figure out how to add on to the melee capabilities (not DPR) of a monk, and found some bad touch cleric builds...a bad touch cleric/monk build is even better, and we haven't had a healer for a while---AND the undead abound, so it works out all around!
Hey! Not that I don't appreciate having a cleric in the party, and not that I disagree that a more traditional healer will be helpful, but Sabinus has been taking care of the healing duties quite nicely!
Remember the tenet of witchcraft: Thou Shalt Not Be A Primary Healer--Thou Shalt Debuff Their Faces Off And Force Them To Heal Instead. But yes, nice healing and restorations, Sabby.
I thought that's what PbPs are... ;)
What'd you write?
Do you want to break the 4th wall, or whatever, and tell us which entry is yours? Very cool that you're in the Top 32!
Neat, Viscount! I like that it's an item with lots of out of combat, campaign-world applications. Good luck on the next round. I think the bestiary entries get revealed tomorrow!
Mug, the parchments, both from the Crux and from the cache, are cut off on the left and right edges when I open them. Is this intentional? Are others having the same problem?
Hey folks, just had an uber busy day at work today, and get-the-house-ready-for-baby activities when I got home. I should have time tomorrow if I don't get something up tonight.
@Sabinus - Is there more than one parchment? I'll narrow the image as it was not intentional.
I mean the parchment in the crux (from the other day) and the one in the cache.
Mug, could you put a link to the documents in the campaign info tab if you get a chance? I want to be able to check back and make sure I'm up to speed. I have a nasty habit of forgetting important names and plot threads over PbP.
Will do that , good idea.

I've updated some links in the campaign thread. The "Council of Thieves Image" or "CoT Image" link typically will have the latest interesting image or document, as well as a link to the other image(s) of interest. Hope this helps some people!
Having some ISP trouble, so might be a little patchy until it's sorted out. They say they're "down for scheduled maintainance", but it's the middle of the day... So I don't really know what's happening with that.
Sorry for the absence today. Been extra busy at work the last little while. I hope to get the round resolution up tonight.
Sorry guys. Works been a killer and my wife's nearly ready to pop out another kid (aka= understandably needy) and free time has gotten scarce. Hang in there!
Congrats and good luck! I'll just keep doing my daily checks here.
