Ruins of Azlant

Game Master Aldizog

I'll get back to the game soon. With the holiday weekend and some amazing spring weather, I am hitting the trail for some much needed outdoor therapy.

Fantastic choice.

Good for you Mioki. I did the same (on a bike) yesterday.

So we have an interesting encounter that this party might be ill-equipped for. There is definitely things you can do if you want to RP it out.

But, if so inclined . . .

yeah, I had a feeling we were in trouble when I checked and saw we had no ability to channel energy (usually what you do with a haunt).

Haunts also usually have a specific thing they want done that dismisses them. Although we may not have enough information to do that with this one.

If it takes more than a couple posts sure we can skip it but it sounded like Korwal wanted to have a shot at it.

There is a specific feat to let martials deal with haunts, but Brannart doesn't have it. Might dip a level of Brawler to be able to pick up things like that on the fly. Or just get Barroom Brawler at level 4.

There's another feat to let martials deal with incorporeal undead (which this could also be).

I largely don’t have a great idea just was hopeful it wasn’t a haunt.

I'll move forward tonight to the next building unless someone RP's a solution or some type of commentary before then.

Yah if it isn't plot critical it may be easier to just move past it and throw the XP in someplace else.In a face to face game I would try a few things real quick but in PbP every action takes time.

I think it will become plot-critical, but it is possible to move on and revisit it at a later point. Could be fun to RP, if you want.

So, it sounds like we should at least try to interact with it some more.

I do not want to give too much away, but I do not want to slow the game either.

You might learn something if you return to the chapel. Will that information be immediately helpful?

Like I mentioned, it is possible to continue the adventure and revisit. It is important to the adventure, but can be bypassed for now.

I think there are fun role-playing opportunities, but the pbp version could take awhile. As a group, do you want to spend the time and slow the game or do you want to pick things up? I am fine with either. I think your characters are starting to dialogue together well which might make for interesting conversation if you return to the chapel.

What would your characters do? RP that out if you want. Good RP also leads to XP and Hero Points. ( and possible bonus magical toys) Effort offered / effort gained

I’m gonna be mostly inactive for a little while, I’m in the twin cities and as you likely know there are other things occupying my time and attention

Personally I don't mind a slower pace with heavy RP but apparently it is common in pbp for people to get so wrapped up in the minute to minute details that the story comes to a halt. Otherwise tho I think it is fine to dedicate a page or even two to an encounter especially if it is interesting or otherwise provides info you can't get elsewhere.

Kowal, take whatever time you need. We will be here. I hope you can stay safe and that situation settles down with justice served.

PaleDim, Vexas cracks me up. Do you have a dry-smart sense of humor or is that all Vexas. Either way ... LOL.

I think somewhat yes, but Vexas is definitely one of my less emotional characters. Glad you like him :)

Apologies if I was not clear when you first entered the chapel. No one got very far when you first heard the voice and the chalice started to rattle. Once that happened, you all high-tailed it out of there. Sorry, hope this clarifies things. There is plenty to search in the chapel.

Will be back Tuesday night / Wednesday. The wife and I are doing a short getaway and going to visit one of our favorite Bed & Breakfasts that have reopened and do some hiking on one of our favorite waterfall trails.

Good for you guys have fun and be safe.

Hey everybody,

I'm sorry for going missing on you. It's been a very hectic couple of weeks. At work we had two back to back short notice and short deadline extra projects added on top of our regular work. With what free time I've had I really needed to do other things than sit in front of a computer yet more.

Things should be getting back to normal now, and I'll be catching up on reading up to date on posts and posting myself. Within a day or two I should be all caught up and back in the flow.

Hey Guys:

Sorry, I need a few days. Just feeling burned out. Need some time away from the screen. Between long work days and Zoom calls I am screened out. I need to re-energize with some solar power.

Hope you all understand!

Hope you all understand!

Absolutely. Every day I feel drained from being on video calls for half of the day or longer, and by the end of the week my brain feels like mush.

I'm in the same boat all the time lately. Zoom Skype Zoom Skype Database Database.

How's the new bunny?

No problem woth me!

We're here to enjoy the game.

How's the new bunny?

Maizie is doing great! Thank you for asking. She is surely the queen of the house. She recently had her first vet appointment and got a clean bill of health. The vet told us she has Flemish Giant in her. These rabbits can get up to around 20 pounds. Maizie is 9 pounds right now and still growing. Might need a bigger house. :)

Next post is finally up. Thank you for sticking with me while I work some things out. Feeling better now and ready to find out what happened to all of the colonists!

Sorry for my absence I am back now, I should be able to post tomorrow.

Glad to have you back Kowal. Hope this message finds you, your family, and your community safe.

I'm off this week end, back Sunday afternoon/evening.

Hey Everyone,

Sorry for the absence. Life has been busy, but good busy.

With the long summer days, I find myself needing to get out for a hike or kayak after work. This leaves little time for games before I find rest for the night.

I am slowly backing away from my other PBP games to limit my screen time and increase my outside time. That being said, I would like to keep this game going, but at a slower pace. (at least for the summer)

If you are all ok with 3-4 posts a week, we'll keep playing and get to Book 2 by the time we retire. :)

Let me know your thoughts and if you are on board with this.

{it is late so I will not post tonight, but I will catch up on the weekend.)

Cheers!

I have no problem with a slower, but consistent pace.

No problem with that either

Could you just tell us what your Security clearance is , Citizen, and who told you about the Exterior of the Complex Alpha? Aren't you happy with everything the Computer is doing for your enjoyment inside the Complex?

Perfectly alright with me. 3-4 posts a week is about the pace for every campaign I've seen that makes it long term.

I understand. Enjoy the summer and avoid burnout.

perfectly fine with me.

Just figured I’d check in here. Any updates on availability?

Sorry, lots of good stuff is happening. This weekend I will be back home and ready to post. I got a promotion. It all happened very fast and I have been away from home and my pc. Do not like posting from phone or work laptop.

I now oversee all of our clinics in our NJ/ PA region and I have been taking the tour to engage staff and visit the facilties. I will be home tomorrow night and off on Friday to get my head back in the game. If you are all down, I will be ready to go.

Hey, congrats Mioki!

I'm ready when you are!

Congrats! and no pressure what so ever just figured I'd check-in.

Nice! Good deal. Yeah, still here!

Still there too!

Congrats on the promotion!

Also here!
Congrats on the promotion!

Hey congrats and welcome to the Garden state :P

Game is back on! Thank you for your patience.

Oh, and go ahead and Level Up to 2!

Let me know of any major changes. Especially if your Initiative or Perception changes.

Also, for you in the States have a great Holiday Weekend. For others, enjoy the weekend.

Cheers!

Will try to get my level-up squared away tomorrow. Probably taking Power Attack, but maybe Aquatic Combatant.

Max or avg hit points on level up? (I'm assuming avg, i.e. d8 => 5)

Level 2 done.

Perception is now +8

Ranger combat feat (Archery path) : Precise shot

Happy 4th of july

Max or avg hit points on level up? (I'm assuming avg, i.e. d8 => 5)

For Hit Points:

1st 4 Levels: Max HP

After 4th: Player's Choice - Avg. or Roll

Brannart is leveled up.
No change to Perception or Initiative.
I took Aquatic Combatant as the feat, but hopefully by level 4 will have some gear that makes it less necessary and can use the free fighter feat retraining to swap it out for something else.
Swim is now +8 after ACP and he can always Take 10.

Yeah, more hit points! ^^
