FWIW, Sapphiria was trying to indicate that someone needed to pick a door for her to cast dispel on, because it's one of her known spells (and therefore doesn't cost her mythic points to cast).
Ah...well we'll get the hang of it soon enough. Next level I'm taking sign-language

This is the disadvantage in play! :)

It's cool, we'll work it out as we go.
I can't believe I missed Grey... I could have had half of you in one round!
I thought Casting Defensively was still possible with Pathfinder?
Not when you roll really badly :)
Aaaand the streak is broken...
sorry for the delay in response. Lightning strike took out my power and internet, everthings good now will be responding soon.
Sapphiria, Thrall currently is only 4 hp down, since his maximum has decreased due to his Con penalty. You should probably same your spell.

Would you like a lesser restoration instead?
I won't say no to that, though it's up to you to manage your spells :)
Incidentally, Thrall, your HP status bar still says 10/70 10/56 (not sure why you have two entries), so unless you want me to keep casting healing spells...
Yes, that's why I kept track in Thrall's posts. There are two entries - normal and with Con Penalty.
My bad folks, I could have sworn i had posted that like a couple of days ago.
Posting in a moment
My wife has decided to have family over in spite of the pandemic, so I'll be away through the weekend.
Have a good time!
Be as safe as possible.
Be safe
So my symptoms continue to increase. Unfortunately, unless immediately life-threatening, testing seems to be by appointment only around where I live & the earliest appointment I could get is Monday morning.
What I'm saying is I may have Covid-19, so if I don't post again...
Well, I had a lot of fun playing with you.
Man, im not really religious but thoughts and prayers and hopes my friend. I hope you get better.
Wow, Grey. Hoping for the best.
Good luck man!
Hang in there! Our thoughts/ prayers/ energy/wishes are with you.
In retrospect, I may have been a wee bit melodramatic in my previous post.
Obviously, I still haven't been tested yet & everything still sucks...
But I'm pretty sure I forgot/slept through my last dose of advil & I only feel as bad as I do after the advil kicks in, so...
hopeful.
99%+ chance of survival. Hope often favors the warrior whose courage holds. Stay positive and fight thorough it. Keep moving if you can.
That's a completely fallacious statistic disregarding every other variable. I or people close to me have lost a dozen people already this year. Be smart, take precautions, get tested and treated if needed and listen to the experts. Not the idiots.

Sorry I dropped that bomb with no/little follow up.
Monday I got tested. I still have to wait three business day for results, but I have been feeling progressively better every day since Sunday.
At present, my only real complaints are a stabbing pain behind my right ear if I sit in front of/too close to an electronic screen for too long.
I have been continuing to self-isolate, admittedly not perfectly. I was the responsible adult in the house before & some habits refuse to die, or pause without near-physical restraint.

Just got my call. Apparently I was really melodramatic, because according to my test result I did not have Covid-19. Just finished talking with my boss, I will go back to work Tuesday of next week.

Time to replace the melodrama with mellow drama!
The death rate here in California has been about 1.25% of the confirmed through testing cases, including the critical cases we have brought in from Mexico. However experts here believe about 22% of the residents have been exposed to the virus.
Many of us have had it, experiences ranging from no symptoms whatsoever to being really sick. Two people I knew of have died in the same family who travelled to Mexico then came back. Most people around me that have had it felt like they had allergies with surging symptoms at night. I had the difficulty breathing and dry cough part, high heart rate and temp. Many more unconfirmed cases are all around because they don’t always test people unless they broke the 39 c mark. They tell people to remain home and recoup if the symptoms are not severe.
Luckily only two people under 18 have passed away of it in the whole state of 40+ million. Over 60% of the deaths have been people over 70 with the vast majority being those 80+. It rips through nursing homes.
Survival rate here is still over 99%, but I am aware that is not the case in many other areas of the world. 1,765,058 Californians have tested positive since March, 22,150 COVID related total deaths in CA, 269 were from today.
We are testing over 300,000 people a day here.
I hope the new vaccines make a positive impact.

I'm happy to hear that you tested negative. Get some rest and plenty of fluids, and feel better.

Sadly, I live in a Deeply Red state, with a Governor who happily ditto's the Presidential Administration's 'party line'. I live in Missouri, near the Kansas/Missouri border. Don't ask me why we call it the Kansas/Missouri border instead of the Missouri/Kansas border, I suspect it has something to do with that nation-wide donnybrook that no one has gotten over from about a hundred-fifty or so years back. Just about every ICU in the state is at capacity. We would try to move some of our worst cases, but every neighboring state's ICU's are also at capacity. I work in retail, part-time; the week before I started self-isolating, I had a customer tell me 'it was all bullshit' when I handed him a mask because he wasn't wearing one in-spite of clear signage stating it was required just to be in the building. I am fifty, live with my maternal Uncle & my son. When I first actually thought I might have it, I was terrified that they might get it. As has been pointed out by others with much more medical/virological experience than I; 'everyone talks about the death-rate' when it's the as-yet-uncertain long term aftereffects that may be more frightening really. 'Cause the evidence is there that there are a lot of potential ones & most of them will f$*# you up it looks like. We also don't yet have data to prove people who have been infected won't have flare-ups in the future like with chicken-pox/measles or herpes. That's why it's called novel. Every day, the scientists are learning more & more, but some things require literal years of experience.
I am also hopeful for the vaccine. If/when it becomes available I damn-well will take it.

I do not miss retail right now. Nothing like customers to ruin the Christmas Spirit during the holidays.
What a small world (PbP space). I have a lot of family living in St Louis proper. My in-laws have recently moved out to Festus (I have heard it’s nice?) and my wife was born at Normandy Osteopathic South.
My cousin is Chief of the Division of General Medical Sciences in the Department of Internal Medicine at Washington University. My wife’s cousin works for the Coroner’s office who is in turn married to someone who is an ER nurse, who is in turn related to family in Law Enforcement. Sigh, so anyway you could say they have an “elevated” risk for exposure. My whole family was supposed to be back in STL for a wedding in April, obviously that didn’t happen.
In recent news the hospitals have been testing samples here in Southern CA that show the virus was here at least since October of 2019.
It is going to be a wild ride for a while and we can’t ask to be let off.
Keep your spirits up and remember “Fear is the Mind Killer.”
I will face my fear.
Indeed small world in pbp. I live on the illinois side of St.louis.
Took me a second to realize you meant the Halfling NPC...

No no, I meant you.
Just kidding.
I'll be off for the holidays, everyone - not back 'til Monday (sorry, meant to send a pre-warning, I usually do).
..and by back, I mean back online. It's not travel, it's toddler. ;)
Also: Happy Holidays, everybody!
Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays and high hopes for the New Year!
Is Arthas OK? I've been holding back waiting on his response to Nurah...
Drop him a PM? I think the holidays have got everyone out of synch. I know I am!

Apologies for the delay. Login issues plus a windstorm has knocked out my home internet locally. May be a few days.
But I WILL be back!
I am here.
Me too.
Hope everyone is okay.
