@Garvid: not a problem; hope things even out soon.
@Li: yep the bolts are fine.
I'll plan to post an update tomorrow.
Sorry I got caught up. Plan to post tomorrow.
No worries! Do your thing.
Further questions with Laori?
Just a disclaimer that we are using the X card in our game: info here.
If something strikes anyone as uncomfortable, for whatever reason, just post here, or send me a PM, pointing out what subject matter is making you uncomfortable, and we'll gloss right over it.
This came up once in a live game (Crimson Throne, in fact), when the group had apprehended Gaedren and one of the player's wanted to torture him.
Thanks for mentioning this, Wicked.
Personally, I'm into BDSM in real life, so the present encounter with Laori is completely fine with me, but I spoilered my post in case other people feel different.
No worries here.
In general, life is pain.
We are born crying, and when we've cried enough, we die.
Play on.
“Life is pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.”
Happy US Mother's Day! It's been a busy few days but I plan to get a post up tomorrow moving us forward.
I can understand why Laori was scrying on Kynes but is there a reason she chose Li rather than the others? Other than she's probably the weakest link. It's not like it matters, I was just curious
I disagree that Li is the weakest link. But who said it was Laori scrying on Li? ;).

That does answer my unasked question. I thought maybe someone else was scrying since it corresponded with the recurring nightmare.
And for being the weakest link I think Li's will save is one of the lowest, if not the lowest, of the group which would make her the easier target. That's all I had meant.
The next couple of weeks are going to be some of the busiest of my life, so if I don't post feel free to bot me/move on without me. I'll see you on the other side.
Good luck, and take care of yourself!
Regarding Li's question: For this combat, I'll allow you to use the round to make ranged attacks as the creatures fly in. Not exactly RAW since they won initiative but it makes sense that if you see them coming you'd get a shot in as they approach.

Thank ye, sir :)
Excited I might actually get to use my bow for once. And Dex Rage makes me particularly dodgy.
Mouse, Talfyn, and Yazi are still up for the round (Yazi has made an AoO but still has a full round of actions). I know we've got a lot going on. I'll give it one more day before botting :).
How far do we have to move from the area to not get caught by the Cinder Cone eruption?
Now that is to be determined :).
Heads up that I am having surgery on Monday the 25th and will be unable to post for a few days. Bot as needed.
Wishing you a fast recovery!
Trusting that everything will go well and that you’ll have restoration of health.
Have a lovely deep nap and a quick recovery!
Hope all goes well, Yazi!
Wishing the best. May it feel like a nice vacation.
@Talfryn, I rule that you're aware your own shadow evocation is an illusion, meaning you auto pass the save. In that case, you'll only take 1/5 the damage from detonate, so 5 damage rather than 29.
Thanks!
Talfryn throwing out an awesome spell...just waiting for Garvid to do an internal coup de grace!
Garvid's going to explode out from within the worm in a massive welter of gore, screaming, "This isn't even my final form!"
See, my mind went straight to Drax the Destroyer from Guardians of the Galaxy - imagine Garvid faintly screaming inside the worm while stabbing constantly. XD
Sorry, GM - forgot to update my AC, the bite definitely hit me with my Reckless Abandon. I'll start updating my block every post. I've changed my Stalwart to standard Combat Expertise, AC in block now correct.
I notice you rolled 2d6 in your post. Its bite damage, with power attack, is:
Ah! That'll do it! I'll update when I can.
aaaand both Garvid and worm are grappled.
How we doing, folks?
SWAMPED, personally.
I just finished celebrating Canada Day in a responsible, socially distant manner :)
Everything else is the same for me.
Happy Canada Day!
Things are a little busy for me, but keen to pick up the game again.
Glad to see your surgery went well, Yazi =)
As others have said, swamped. :) But things are getting better. (Now let's hope they stay that way!)
Anybody heard from the DM?
Last I heard on Discord was that he was waiting for a computer part...
Hope everyone's still doing ok out there.
Echoing Mouse's thought. I'm doing ok and I hope everyone else is too.
Am ok, swamped with work at the moment.
Hanging in there!
Crimson Crew:
So first, I’m really, really, really sorry for disappearing. Despite all the things going on, I should have reached out and communicated with you all. I know I probably led some to worry about what had become of me. That was selfish. I didn't reach out to you, and I'm sorry.
Every time I’ve sat down to write and explain where I've been, I just haven’t known what to say...
I'm doing fine. During quarantine, despite having more time at home, I became ill at ease and just couldn't find the fun in many things that I had before. Other things took their place and absorbed my time. As far as play-by-post, I had worked it into being part of my weekly schedule in such a way that the disruption in working from home just completely threw me for a loop. My interest waned. Any effort to return felt forced, and so I’ve stayed away. And the longer I waited, the more permanent my decision seemed. I wasn't ready to step away from my games, and certainly not to suspend Crimson Throne. Now, I can recognize that my decision is made. I am declaring the game indefinitely suspended.
I want to thank you for having me with you on your adventures. It’s really meant so much. Play-by-post has been such a large part of my life, and I’ve had the chance to interact with such phenomenal people that I never would have connected with otherwise. To step away has felt like leaving home. Especially this game, which has had so many wonderful moments thanks to you.
But I am still not ready to return. I might be ready again, one day. If so, I look forward to seeing what you’re all up to. I really do wish you all the very best.

Hey Wicked!
First and foremost, I'm so glad that you're doing well - or as well as any of us can be doing in such times.
Secondly, thanks for the phenomenal game and for the fun. I'm blessed to have gone on this journey with you.
It's completely understandable that you need to step away. Real life always takes precedence.
You know where to find me if you're ever wanting to return. And if not, I wish you all the best because you deserve it.
Take care :)
Hey Wicked, no worries at all, I'm glad to hear you're (relatively) okay.
I completely understand where you're coming from, this pandemic has done a number on my mental health and that of everyone I know. I also lost a lot of motivation for the things that I used to be passionate about and I rarely can find it in me to enjoy anything. I discussed this with my therapist, who suggested that a lot of my passions and hobbies were 'play behavior', and we're not inclined to play when we don't feel safe. I feel that rings true.
I hope that you can return to this game one day, as I have thoroughly enjoyed it and I am looking forward to continuing our group's adventures.
And, if anyone here is looking for a new game and has a *powerful need* to play War for the Crown, I have a recruitment up until end of this week. :)
I completely hear you, Wicked. Current circumstances have done a number on just about everyone, and you've gotta do what's right for you. If you decide to come back and pick things up again, I'll be glad to join right in. (And Yazi, I'm'a hit you up for War of the Crown. Lemme think on a character idea and I'll chime in on its recruitment.)
I totally get it Wicked. Similarly, I've dropped from all my PBP games save one. When the motivation is gone, its gone.
