Great - I've put them in my character header (under a spoiler).
Obviously if there's some roleplay involved as well (such as with research) then it makes sense for me to do the rolling, but otherwise I'm fine with you botting that.
Might not be a bad place to warn, if I haven't already in recruitment or anything, that as a DM I am one to take liberties here and there with the system to better suit my needs, maybe doubly so with horror stuff where in some cases Pathfinder actually kind of works against the spooky. So, there'll be deviations here and there from the norm, if it's anything that effects you in a meaningful way it'll be explained so that you're not actively getting f!~#ed over.
That's all fine with me. I've only one Knowledge skill at the moment (local) but I've added it to my character header to make it easier for you to see DM
That's fine with me as well, DM.
Work going a little nuts. Will post late tonight after I get back. Sorry for the delay.
Because the other group has more to do, more sites to visit, would it make more sense for us (Ellie and I) to hold off a bit on our part in the library?
My concern of having everyone hit up a bunch of locations while leaving you and Ellie to sit around waiting after your knowledge checks is definitely a concern on running the myriad of investigatory stuff we've got ahead of us, not sure how people want to handle it.
I'm fine with sitting around for a while if it fits the story better, so maybe let them do a bit of investigating before we do our stuff towards the middle/end? Or what do you think, Ellie?
Fine with me! I don't have the skills for socialising anyway :-)
Neither do I :-)
@DM Frightmare - do you want us to spoiler our posts as well?
Nah if you guys want to post your stuff plain it's fine; I'm more blocking things off with spoilers so that people can easily see when a section is meant for them, since a three-way-split party can run the risk of some wildly different response times depending on how everyone syncs up and if posts get a bit out of step, this helps keep everyone at least knowing at a glance what's their stuff to deal with. In a situation where the party is split, spoiler tags aren't meant to keep information away and you guys are free to read the other spoilers and see what's happening; it's only for when people are together and I'm singling people out with information that we need to worry about anything different.
Which knowledge skills would be applicable for the research checks?
Didn't realize the rolls were hopping in so quick whoops. I'll be posting in gameplay what's going on with the library.
@DM - is there more research to do, or shall we rejoin the others?
You've finished this library so now it's just a matter of waiting for the groups to converge back on the home right now. There's more research to do but you need to find and get access to those libraries first.
One thing I'd like to sort out story-wise is getting Christoph dispensation from the Church to honor Lorriomor's will. That probably takes the form of a letter to his superior and sent by a courier. Can add that to a future post, but wanted to give a heads up on something I'm thinking about.
Sorry all - got called away with work. Catching up on the gameplay posts now and will post something in a bit.
So it's looking like our to do list is something along the lines of:
1. Visit the Unfurling Scroll and talk with Alendru Ghoroven
2. Find the hidden crypt mentioned in the Professor's notes
3. Try another talk with Father Grimburrow
4. Psychic reading(s) on some of the objects we've found
Anything else?
Do we want to split up again for this?
EDIT: in case any of you are interested, I'm currently recruiting for a Kingmaker/Ultimate Intrigue mashup. The link to the recruitment thread is here. It's an open recruitment but I'll give strong consideration to people I'm already gaming with.
I think that about covers it. There are those other libraries as well, but our characters don't know about them yet.
And I'll definitely check out that mashup.
That seems to cover most of it. I can't think of anything else that's super significant.
About what time is it, in game? Evening?
DM hasn't posted for almost two weeks.
A good point. I don't see any posts on aliases either. I like our group dynamics and each of the characters (including mine), so if Frightmare doesn't respond to a PM I'd be down for looking for a DM.
Same here, I'd like to continue with this group too.
Me too, I think we're doing really well together.
EDIT: And for the psychometry thing, it depends on how late it is in game. There should be plenty of time to pull it off tonight.
Me too.
Same! this is a great group and I'm having a lot of fun :)
Any luck with the PM?
I sent one yesterday morning but haven't heard anything back (so that's ~19-20 hours without a response). Do we want to give a day or two? A week? I'd probably say that if we don't have a response by maybe Friday to go ahead and start hunting down a new DM (pretty quickly so we don't lose momentum).
Yeah, I'm good with Friday. At least the DM gets a good chance to respond by then.
Friday sounds good.
Agreed!
No responses as yet. I guess we start looking? I'm going to be out tomorrow, so might be better if someone else posted to look for a GM. I can post tomorrow night otherwise. I assume we're gonna want to find someone we're all ok with? Keep the same build rules?
I'd prefer the same build rules, so we don't need to rework our characters any.
Sorry for my lack of communication over the last few days. Work is pretty hectic at the moment.
If possible the same build rules would be great. Hopefully, we can find someone willing to take over the group!
Yeah, I agree.
Alright, so it's been 3 weeks since our GM posted and a week since we sent the PM. I hope things are going well for him/her but I think we can go ahead and hunt down a new DM. I"ll post in recruitment and link that here shortly.

Great work, Christoph!
Excellent job, mate.

Alright, PM'd Cyber and replied to the recruitment thread. He should join shortly.
Great, good work Christoph!
Hello all, thanks for having me! I will re-read the game thread and post something later today, in about 4-5 hours.
Okay so looks like the next steps are:
1) Visit the Unfurling Scroll
2) Talk to the innkeeper again
3) Try the psychometry skill unlock on the Professor's journal
3) Try to get access to the church's secret stash
4) Visit the memorial
Is this about right? Are you going to split the group again to try some of these tasks in parallel?
Welcome to the group, and thanks for your services Mephit. I will read through the most recent posts again and get something up tomorrow. My posting will be spotty for the next week. I'm a cab driver, and I live in the Black Hills of South Dakota where currently the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is going on, and I'm working 9 more 12+ hour shifts in a row. So, I'll do what I can, but no promises til next Sunday.
Welcome and thank you, CyberMephit! I appreciate you picking up the game and am eager to get back into it. So far as our plans, I think that covers it all. I imagine we'll probably split up again (if only so that Christoph and Elisa don't anger Father Grimburrow again). I think we discussed all visiting the Unfurling Scroll first, then splitting up on the other tasks depending on what we learn. Can't seem to find it in character though so maybe I'm just mis-remembering.
Like the others said, Welcome, and thanks for taking over the game!
Yeah, I think that was the plan. Like Christoph says, we might avoid Grimburrow for now and let the others try to talk to him instead.
Here's a link to the discord I created: https://discord.gg/56e6sK7
Sorry all for the delay in getting back into it! I've been setting up my own PbP and it has become a bit all-consuming.
Hello CyberMephit, and thanks for taking over.
Christoph - what's the Discord link for? I have so many sign-ins and log-ins to different things that I'm reluctant to take on another one...
Posting in-game now.
