please check in, kiddies.
Yo.
Checkin' in!
I’m thinking about buying the campaign setting Rule of Fear to learn more about Ustalav for this campaign. Also, for fun. If I do, will it spoil any elements of this adventure path for me?
i've looked through the book a few times. Nothing seemed to be spoiler-esque so know yourself out
In case we need to refer to the previous threads, could you put a link to them in the Campaign Info?
technical difficulties, posting resuming tomorrow with any luck
Eloise,
sorry i didnt get a submission in under the deadline. good luck with the game.
It's okay. ^^ I have an interesting crew in there.
Apologies for interrupting with some shameless begging, but I'm looking for 2-3 replacement players in a PbP I'm running HERE. The party is currently fifth level and consists of a human destined sorcerer, a half-elf ranger (with big cat animal companion), and a gnome summoner. Drop me a PM if you're interested.

Totally OT Dragon!
if posting is (still) spotty for the next few days, I'm sorry. I'm moving on friday and life is exactly what you would expect because of that.
Understandable. Moving is always a pain. Thanks for the update, and good luck with the move.
Good luck! I hope you found good movers. I’ve had a string of friends who had bad experiences with less-than-professional teams. Definitely worth the cost of hiring from a well-known company.
My home network is down AGAIN! >_<
I have no idea how long this is going to take to be fixed. I'll try to keep up with posting, but please DMPC me if necessary... I hope to be back fulltime soon.
To all my gamer peoples:
I am sorry for the delay and lack of updates with this game. I am not dead, nor have I abandoned you fine gaming folks. This game will resume in the near future (Monday, most likely) and I would like to thank you all for your patience and understanding.
Party on,
DM Corvus
Moving is always a pain. Glad to have you back with us.
I'm glad to hear we're still on. ^_^ Good luck with the rest of the move.
if eloise ends up picking up any spells please list them here, and make your rolls to learn them as appropriate.
I'm thinking...
Blur
or
Minor image
Both have much to recommend them, but I don't have the cash to buy and scribe both, so I'll decide in the traditional way of my people: .
(Yes, I was referring to gamers as 'my people'. ;) )
Blur it is! Spellcraft to learn:
Naah! :-| I've been having rotten luck, rolling to scribe new spells in my book lately! Oh, well. I at least have a scroll of Blur for when we really need it, and I can skip the 40 gp scribing fee...
as established in our previous thread, so many many months ago, when a magus levels up, the free spells they would get will instead function as immediate passes on their attempts to learn / transcribe new spells.
i believe you should be able to get this one as a reward for leveling no? Unless you previously spent the slots at Alendru's way back in ravengro?
Yeah, I got some new spells back then. ^^
Unless the librarian helping me constitutes a +4 bonus to my Spellcraft check, I have a scroll and that's that.
yeah what the hey. dont say i never did nothin' for ya
I never have, my good sir, and hopefully I never shall such an unkind thing! ^^
I have jury duty tomorrow, will post later on in the day
Good luck, and be proud to serve the cause of justice!
It pains me to say this, truly, but I am going to have to bring this campaign to an end.
Unfortunately / Fortunately, I've gotten something of a promotion, and the time I usually spent dedicated to this and other PBP endeavors has vanished.
So, thank you one and all, this has been a lot of fun. you've made a good adventure path great with awesome characters and RP, and I hope when I have more opportunity to participate in PBP again we can roll together in the future.
All the best,
Corvus
Augh. :(
*sigh* I'm really enjoying this game...
Good luck to you, of course, DM Corvus. I do not begrudge you your success and hope to see you around again.
To the other players: shall we try to recruit another DM to guide us through/into the darkness of Ustalav? We have a wonderful group, and I'd hate to see this game end when we've gotten this far.
Congrats on the promotion, DM C, and good luck.
Recruiting a replacement is worth a try; not many people get to do the second parts of APs on the boards.
Right, then. I'll set up a recruitment post and link to here.
Let's keep our fingers crossed...
Mine are crossed for sure. We got this far, so hopefully someone can pick up for me. There's so much great stuff in this adventure path down the road.
Congratulations on your promotion! May your new responsibilities bring you at least as much joy as PBeM did. :)
I’m afraid that a new GM might fall short of Corvus’s performance and sully our memories of an otherwise fine campaign. If one of you has a solid replacement in mind, someone mature, active and creative, I’m open to the idea, but I’d rather wrap up here than let a random stranger take over.
Alright, recruitment post up! Let's hope we get a few good nibbles soon. ^^ DM Corvus, I realize you're going to be busy soon, but will you be available to show any prospective new DM the ropes in the form of secret plot points you may have concocted and whatnot?
Sour Heck, I have made sure to add your requirements to the recruitment post. ^^ It'll probably limit the number of applicants slightly, but they are good requirements...!
Sour Heck--agreed. We'll have to vet for a lot of things, not the least of which is compatibility with the play style we've gotten used to with DM C. Though I think volunteers for the GM hat are rare enough that we're not likely to get someone casual.
All we can do right now is wait, I'm afraid... Let's see what comes.
If we don't have a good applicant by next week Friday, I think we can - sadly - call it a game. Agreed?
Agreed.
If someone volunteers, I'll certainly provide any and all guidance that I can.
Much appreciated.
Yes, indeed. *nod*
Darn it! I'd love to keep going, so I hope we can recruit a new gm.
If not, it's been fun.
While I'd love to run this with you guys, your posting rate requirement is much too high for my ability to commit. It looks like you've got a very clever and effluent group here -- I hope you find your GM. Best of luck.
My dear colleagues of the Hawthorn Society: would two to three story updates per week be acceptable?
It sounds good to me... ^^
Slow and steady is better than nonexistent. Yes.
I can live with that.
To the esteemed members of the Hawthorne Societie,
I hope this letter finds you in good spirits and in better health. Word of your exploits has reached my ears this very day from the local news crier. I feel obligated to reach out to you with this dispatch, and inform you of my interest in your activities there in Ravengro. I am dispatching my best scribe north at once to enjoin with you, and I entreat you to relay to him a detailed study of your exploits, though I know you have little enough time to do so what with all of your energies focused on cleansing and scouring.
In return for your assistance with his recordings, I will make sure that your names are indelibly inscribed in the annals of history. Both here in Oppara and in every city and town between here and Ustalav. My current business is in the trade of stories, and I just have a feeling yours is just unfolding and will be epic and exciting. Villagers and noblepeople will sing of your praises for generations to come. Grandparents will tell their grandchildren of your heroic deeds.
If that offer isn't enticing enough (and who would pass on such fame and glory), my agent is authorized to make a substantial donation in your name to the charity of your choice. Substantial.
You will recognize my scribe by his tall and portly appearance. He will be dressed very plainly, and will be wearing the thickest of glasses. His penchant for wine is matched in magnitude only by his lack of table manners. While he may seem crude to some, I find his work impeccable. He is my best employee. The fact that he is my only living employee has no bearing on this matter.
My heart races in anticipation to read what new feats of derring-do you may perform. I have complete confidence that you will find my offer irresistible, and will oblige me with this princely favor.
Your greatest aficionado from afar,
Ernst Gagnum
Former story collector to the emperor of Talidor,
Doctor of phrenology, philology, and herpetology,
Former first assistant the Grand and Royal Jester

I need a day or three to catch up on where you've been and where you may yet be going. In the meantime, if you should happen to find someone more appropriate for your group, then by all means, please run with that. Feel free to continue to recruit.
For the record, I'm a long time player, and long time GM for several systems. I won't state my age, but let's just say I was barely 12 or 13 when I began playing with that pink box. I'm still somewhat fresh off the PbP farm, but I catch on quick enough.
My typical posting rate may slow to as low as 3 times a week, although I'm capable of posting more frequently if properly prodded. I have PM'd Sir Corvus, and have (hopefully) humbly enough requested his insights into the campaign and group.
Thanks for stepping in, Storycrafter. Perhaps a slower response rate will give us more incentive for intraparty roleplay.
I'm looking forward to our new start.
