I will be on a staycation from work from Wednesday 8/26 until Monday 8/31. During this time, my posts will be significantly less frequent, especially on the weekend, as I am celebrating my birthday!
Anyone want sushi, finely diced?
You could take a roundabout route back to the city to avoid the ambush, or draw them out to confront them. Up to you.
Waiting on you guys to respond or provide your next course of action.
I think we're gonna go looking for a missing deep merfolk delegation.
Sounds like a plan to me! Find where the merfolk were last seen and go from there. Oh, and sell our loot!
Let me know how you plan on looking for Drecissa. Magic, asking around, something else?
Terana will ask around, what is this magic you speak of? And she'll sell our loot!
Are people ok with donating Wavebreaker's spear to Talisantri? If not Terana will 'buy' it and donate it herself.

Claim anything else you want and take it out of you 31,963. :)
I can spare the 10k. I presume we don't have time to actually get stuff enchanted right now, so I'll deal with upgrades later.
I'm totally alright with just removing Seaspike from the loot, recalculating the spread, and donating it to Talasantri.
Yeah, I'm all right with that too.
I concur with donating it.
In that case we all get 30,269.25gp.
Terana spends 32K to upgrade her belt to +6! :)
Should have talked to Arianda...about buying a ring of regeneration...
Ooooo, shiny! Next time :D
Arianda is up!
Posting now. Sorry, still been struggling with anxiety.
Gideon and Tobar are up!
I will be on vacation from Saturday 10/10 until Monday 10/19. During this time, I won't have much chance to post.
Arianda and Gideon are up still.
Hey, all. I've noticed that the posting rate for this game has dropped significantly in the past few months. I find myself in a position where I have too many games going on at the moment, and I have been considering closing down this one. Are you all interested in continuing on? We are near the end of book 4 but there are still two more books to go. I will keep going if everybody wants to do so.
I'm fine with finishing it off, how are our players doing? I was sick all weekend but I'm recovering now.
I will go along with the verdict of the longer-running group. I try and keep up, but real life has stymied my ability to do so. As such I will abstain but go along with what the group and DM decides.
You know my views boss.
I know that I've been a lot quieter lately than I normally am and I apologize for that; having a five-month-old at home takes up more of my time than I anticipated it would.
That being said, I will pledge to do my best to do better and keep up if others are willing to continue. I've never had a PbP run as long as this one has and I'm really enjoying the game, but if you've got too many irons in the fire, I understand wanting to drop the one that's cooled off the most.
It already seems like two players are ok with shutting it down, and if that's the case, I'm alright with closing up shop here. I wouldn't want to be the guy who forces it to keep going when other folks want to let it go.
By "finish" I meant "complete the AP," but I'll go whichever way the wind blows. Even if this wraps early, that just frees up Brainy to run something else, muahahaha! :)
Y'know, it's funny. Years ago, when I was first doing PbP gaming, I could keep up with six or seven games at one time with little trouble. Now I sometimes have difficulty with two. I guess that's what adding a wife and kid to the mix will do for you!
Thanks for your input, everybody. Looking ahead, the last two books are very combat heavy, and I think it would take an inordinately long time to get through the rest of the AP. Unfortunately, I think it would be best to just call it here so we can better focus on some other games.
Thanks to Gideon and Tobar for sticking around since the beginning (August 2017)! It's been a good run, but the situation has certainly changed in the past 3 years. I look forward to seeing you all in other games.
I'll make this one inactive in the next day or so. :)
I completely understand your perspective. Thanks so much for running the game for as long as you did; the last three years have been such a blast with this campaign!
