					A foul omen looms in the sky over the scoundrel city of Riddleport, an ominous shadow that defies the light. Is it a curse laid millennia ago by forgotten mages?

		   Getting ready to leave again, for PaizoCon. I'll be back Tuesday. In the meantime, does someone want to roll Knowledge checks for Calla (remember she gets a bonus to identify monsters) to see what we know about the threats. I feel like starting here (at the Crystal Plaza) makes the most sense, since we know we'd have a safe place to rest/recover with the shaitan, then go in order of easiest to hardest based on our Knowledge checks.

		   Sorry I had to break my own 24-hour posting rule. I had the misfortune to brick my phone on the very same day (Friday) that someone ran a truck into the fiber junction that serves my neighborhood. No internet all weekend. But, I should be able to post from work, so I'm ready to keep moving. Thanks for your patience.

		   Hey, would you guys be interested in joining a Discord server for this game? I started doing this with my SFS games as a way for players and the GM to get questions answered or prompt for actions without having to wait for everyone to check the boards.   If anyone is interested, I will set one up. It will not be required, but I thought it could come in handy.

		   I'm willing, but I'm new to Discord and don't know personally how much faster it would be. I'm willing to do whatever, though, to keep things moving. -- That said, liberating command is an immediate action, so Kel should be able to cast it and then do another action. If there's no quick response, let's assume she uses it on someone else (roll randomly, if we have to) and DMPC a full action for her.

 Nice thing about having the barbarian, when I miss clues I can claim it's good roleplaying ;)

		   Okay, I'm guilty. Looking at the scale marker on the map, it should be taking you guys several DAYS of flight to move between areas (Overland flight says 64 miles for an 8-hour day of travel, and the map says it's about 160 miles from the fetid Palace back to the shaitan's temple.  I am tempted to hand-wave the travel part, given that Anklebiter has a "we all fly fast" spell, as well as some protective "we sleep safe at night" spells. Unless you guys just want me to roll those random encounters?
