Start.

Since nobody responded to my previous email, I'm assuming that we all agree to the rather concise, and succinctly written guild charter that I emailed y'all earlier. Since we decided that Alex (Churdon) is the one who hires us, he is the first Grand Fawaz. All hail the Grand Fawaz, may his reign be long and prosperous. For everyone else, bob and weave you fools.

Hey guys, lets focus on trying to get our group together and figuring out what this illness is.

Ok we can just head out then. Its been weeks and I want to experiment combat soon.

Apparently its nighttime. I didn't know that, but I guess I could have figured it out. I have a bedroll, but no tent. Should we try to stay in the lumber camp or camp outside it?

It took 8 hours for you guys to get to the Lumber Camp. I'm assuming you guys are well out of visibility from the camp itself or risk running harassment from the loggers.

How does the pet initiative work? Do I command him on my turn and then he acts on his own turn?

Also I made a survival check to gather firewood that was never resolved. Did that happen before or after the encounter started?

Useful Link

We'll say pets go on your initiative. It just makes things easier. You have to give a command to your pet to make it attack, which is an action and roll a handle animal roll to succeed.

How are you guys doing? Getting the hang of it?

yep making sense now.

Do we want to attempt the tactical withdraw once Churdon is free from the pot? This encounter seems terribly difficult for us right now?

How does everyone like it so far?

So far so good.

How close are we to everyone being around for an in-person session?

Probably depends on Stefan being back, and when marc could come down maybe weekend.

I should be back Thanksgiving weekend. I don't think I have anything planned so I'm free the whole time. Otherwise. Stevesie is ready to loot the monastery. He doesn't care about religious idols and curses.

I'll be coming down for Thanksgiving weekend. We could probably meet then.

Do you want to try for the Wed. before Thanksgiving or do it Friday?

Friday is better. I come in late on Wednesday.

Are we still planning on doing something on Friday?

Presumably...??

So since we don't have a guild name I say that the current Grand Fawaz (Churdon) has to pick a new guild name or we get a new Grand Fawaz.

Naming a new Grand Fawaz, as ours is too lazy to make a guild name. Voting closes at the end of March.

Rules as per our guild charter: The Grand Fawaz can only be replaced by a successful mutiny, or by if the Grand Fawaz steps down from office.

Voting
Strawpoll

Description: This creature is a blackened, bat-winged fiend's head. Tentacles dangle from chin and scalp, and its fanged mouth hangs agape.

The green monster moves out of reach and lets out a shriek.

Shriek (Su) Instead of biting, a XXXXXX can open its distended mouth to shriek. Those within 60 feet who hear the shriek and can clearly see the creature must succeed on a DC 12 Fortitude save or be paralyzed for 2d4 rounds or until the monster attacks them, goes out of range, or leaves their sight.

The red monster moves towards Kalani, but its action is dependent on whether or not Kalani makes his save.

Since it is now April first somewhere in the world. We have concluded the voting for new Grand Fawaz. Since the votes are now 2 for and 2 against. Churdon Aenas is now the Plebeian. (The guild charter says successful mutiny, it is unclear if this require more than a majority vote, so I'm going to let this pass). Per our guild charter: section V The Grand Fawaz subsection b Succession sub-subsection i The Plebeian sub-sub-subsections 1-7.

i The Plebeian
1. Any time a Grand Fawaz is replaced, the Grand Fawaz to be replaced shall be known as the plebeian. The plebeian is the worst, and the new Grand Fawaz is automatically better than the previous.
2. In the spirit of fairness, the plebeian receives a loot share equal to the share of the rest of the party, minus one gold piece because he sucks.
3. The plebeian is not allowed to leave the guild for any reason.
4. The plebeian may not hold any guild offices.
5. The plebeian may only be replaced by a new plebeian.
6. The plebeian still has one vote on all guild matters.
7. The guild mascot is the current plebeian.

Congratulations Churdon! You are now the official guild mascot! New Grand Fawaz is Stevesie "Silky Smooth" Silverstache. The guild name is the Stevesie's Sinners. Our mascot is the chunky Churdons! Thanks for casting your vote, expect an updated guild charter in your emails boys.

New Guild charter amendment:

Bill Nye, the Science Guy
1. The mutiny of a Grand Fawaz may not occur when a bill is currently being voted on.
2. A peaceful mutiny of a Grand Fawaz is to be considered successful with a vote of at least fifty percent of all guild members in favor of the mutiny.
3. The guild is sponsored by Fig Newtons, and as such the one gold piece that the plebeian loses from his share of the loot goes to the Grand Fawaz for his hard work getting this impressive sponsorship.

Votes

You have one week to vote (April 7th)

Are people coming in town this weekend for the holiday? Did we want to meet up and try to speed up the basement of the monastery / regroup and decide where we want the party to go?

In hindsight, yes :P

So are we banking on Churdon, Mr. I have a magic weapon, to kill the allip? Cuz Stevesie is feeling slightly useless right now.

Yep. pretty much.

Ulfgar and I are going to be out of town starting on Sunday for about a week. Hopefully we get a few moves in before then....

Ok, thanks for the heads up. I was going to wipe away this fight since it's dependent on 1-2 people that's taking a prolonged time span to handle.

Should we aim for a live session some time soon?

Sure let's do a live session.

Ulfgar goes to uni on the 22nd of August. That means we have one weekend left if we want to do it the 18-20.

It's a bit last minute, but how are people looking this weekend?

I'm down.. marc?

Probably won't be able to make it this weekend with such short notice. Maybe skype in?

I'm free all tomorrow and Sunday. Do people want to make a trip to the city?

I'd prefer doing it today because I have to start packing tomorrow

We should probably switch this to a text / MMS message if we want a chance to try to coordinate this. Even then, with Marc remote only, it might not work out.

Thanksgiving weekend live play through?

I would be down for live play

Yea, let's do it. Friday or Saturday preferred.

I might be able to do Friday. Saturday I can't because we're doing Thanksgiving with Sandra's family.

We want to keep this up or no?

I think we're on hold until the next live session opportunity...
