DM Carbide's PFS Emerald Spire

Game Master John Woodford

We're coming up on the end of the level, and I still haven't heard anything directly from Khel. I'd prefer to keep moving to the next level, although that would mean recruiting a fourth player to replace him. What do you all prefer?

I'm not going to have much of a chance to post before Sunday.

Day job rolls here, and let me know which hex you want next (if any).

Perform: 10 + 18 + 4 = 32

Increase the result by 150% for the usual reasons.

Not going to bother with hexes. We've got all the really good ones at this point.

Happy Easter to all of you who celebrate it!

Anyone else want a hex?

Merchant: 1d20 + 13 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 4 = 22

I will take E this time.

I want a hex but haven't checked to figure out which one... sorry. I'll try to check tomorrow.

No problem. Incidentally, don't forget your day job roll.

B3, please!

Schoolteachin': 1d20 + 18 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 18 + 5 = 30

+50% earned.

I'm getting the chronicles together. This is a level that they recommend Slow advancement for, so that's what I'm writing them up as.

Chronicle sheets:

Asvald

Eva

Torque

Senja will also get a chronicle after he gets back.

In his absence, though, what do you want to do? I'd like to continue, but
if we do I think we'll probably need to recruit a replacement for Senja. I haven't heard anything from Khel since last August. Are any of you in touch with him?

I can try to get a hold of him.

Any word?

I touched based with him but didn't get a chance to ask him about the game.

I'm going talk to him again tomorrow. I'll ask him then.

Thanks! Glad you were able to reach him.

Hey all - a thousand apologies for my abrupt disappearance and long absence. I had a pretty bumpy time last fall, went on a three-week raft trip down the Grand Canyon with very high expectations (I had done it once before) and had a very rough, scary trip, which ended with someone dying. I've been pretty shaken up, and let a lot of things go, including the few PbP games I was in.

I was lucky enough to get to do another Grand Canyon trip in March, which I did with my older son and some good friends, and had a really wonderful, restorative experience. I've got my head much more together now, and I heard from Feral that y'all would like Senja to return. I'd like that very much. I'll read through the gameplay thread and figure out leveling Senja up.

Also sorry to make such a dramatic return, just wanted to give some explanation for vanishing, since it's kind of against my principles to do that in PbP games, especially with so many folks I know.

Day Job, Craft (baskets): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (1) + 22 = 23

+50% earned from hexes, I believe

Welcome back! I honestly thought it was your job that was keeping you too busy to post.

So, do you want another hex? I'll finalize your chronicle once I know that. Also, since this level is one for Slow advancement, you may not be leveling yet.

Hey, welcome back!!

Sorry to hear about your first trip... that sounds awful! Glad that you had another one that went better.

We've missed you!

Yea that sounds awful but I am also glad that things are better.

Thanks, all. Glad to be back.

Carbide - I forgot to add my +6 Hex bonus to my day job roll, so it should be a total of 29. And I guess I'll take hex D1.

Carbide - I think you have all you need for my chronicle, just checking in to make sure there isn't something else you're waiting on me for.

AFAIK I don't need anything else from you, Senja. I just need to get my act back together and finish the chronicle. Thanks for the poke.

The final chronicle sheet:

Senja

Let me know if you're buying anything before we move on to the next level, and thanks for your patience.

Thanks for the chronicle. I've done a little shopping. I had a fair bit of gold on hand, so I bought First Aid Gloves, Eyes of the Eagle, Upgraded my Ring of Protection to +2 and picked up a second Lesser Persistent Metamagic Rod.

Will update my sheet pronto.

I'm going camping with bears to celebrate my independence from Canadia. See you all early next week unless I get eaten!

Speaking of bears, remember that Torque has a breath of life spell in the queue...even if Asvald goes down this round he's unlikely to stay down.

Enjoy!

How did those last two posts of mine get switched? The boards are being weird again/still.

The boards have been awful! Having been away from PbP for a few months, I'm amazed to return and discover that the Paizo site is worse than ever in terms of posting. It's such a mess.

On the topic of Asvald, Senja also has first aid gloves, and both he and Torque are next to the man-bear, so I think we can keep the big guy in the fight.

FYI, I'll be traveling July 11-20. I should still be able to post some, but will be on the other side of the date line and somewhat busy, so post schedule will be wonky.

I've been short of time to post the last few days because my wife is out of town, leaving me to take care of our geriatric cat (plus our slightly less-geriatric cat and the two younger ones). Since I'm not working from home any more, I haven't had much time in the evenings. Things should be closer to normal by the weekend, though.

I'll be away on vacation for the first two weeks in August, and won't be able to put up any game posts--we're camping, so I'm leaving my laptop home. See you all on the flip side!

Don't get eaten by bears!

And I will be away the last two weeks of August, also very unlikely to post.

Back, and uneaten by bears. I'll be testing for covid in a couple of days because there were a lot of people around, though.

Congratulations on your bear survival!

Welcome back, Senja! I should be able to get a post up tomorrow.

Apologies for not pushing this; I once again overcommitted on games for GameDay. Where do you want to go from here, and is there anything else you want to do by way of investigating the water?

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

I see the Santa hats for GMs are back--thanks, Oladon!

Heh, you're welcome. You deserve it! :)

Howdy, y'all - sorry for the long absence, I've mostly dropped out of PbP play (too much time on my computer with working at home so much) and I just haven't been checking my games much. I'll re-engage here and try to stay on top of it.

Glad to hear you're OK.

Happy New Year, y'all! Here's to another year of avoiding being eaten by bears!

I'm wrapping up a project review today and tomorrow, and will be slow to post.

I'll be out of town this weekend, and may or may not have a chance to post.

Incidentally, have any of you heard from Torque's player recently?

He's around. I can poke him on discord.

I'm traveling for the next few days, but will get a post up when I have a chance.
