My, what a romantic genesis. I want to see Daen dance like that!

By the way, I do love Daen's character. In case you can't tell. You do a wonderful job with him. It's odd for me being in a group with so many superior writers... I just try to keep up with all of your awesomeness.

Since all my PFS PbP games completed, I've started reading Long Vigil to get more of a Daen fix. Aest and Daen -- that was a brilliant game. I'm so sorry that it had to end.

You'll find this amusing. My workplace did a Kris Kringle this year, and I was absolutely stumped trying to figure out who mine was. (I was buying for our Japanese teacher; I got her lollies, seasonal origami, and a maneki neko, which she loved.) Mine left me castanets, ornaments, and gave me no clue as to who they were - until the last day, when they sticky-taped a QR code over my pigeonhole.

Intrigued, I left it there, downloaded a QR scanner at home, and scanned it the next morning.

It took me to this.

From there, I was pretty easily able to figure out who my KK was, because only Adam (one of our reception teachers), with his sense of humour, would have thought to do that.

On a more serious and game-related note, I have to confess that I don't quite know what to do with Daen in-character. I like to bounce off other characters, and he doesn't seem to offer a lot of bounce, so I'm kinda lost, and I feel pretty bad about it.

Yep. In the car. Welcome to 'Straya! I'd see if it was possible to fry an egg on the footpath, but unfortunately we've had a cool change! Sweet, sweet 25 degrees Celsius, how I've missed you...

What a small world. I know the people who made that video. My GM for my live Kingmaker group is part of the Twin Cities Klingon group that runs Commedia Beauregard and the local Klingon Christmas Carol, produced in the original Klingon with a Vulcan translator.

I'll let Kris know that my fellow players from Australia and Denmark liked the video. He and his wife (also a Klingon) will get a kick out of that.

And now my brain is wondering what Klingmaker (a mashup of Kingmaker and Klingon culture) would be like. I won't tell my GM because them he'd DO it.

I think the problem is that you both are stoics. Also, Daen has withdrawn into his own shell lately. That's part of the reason that I want the month of game time waiting for Daen's anwer to be over. I think that Cyanne could pull him out of that shell.

Hmm

PS Aest -- It's Christmas. We can go on hiatus until Monday. We'll just all chat here. It's okay!

It's suddenly slow at work. So... I got bored and decided to look up Golarian holidays and festivals.

*Coughs* Clearly, this was NOT because I was trying to find inspiration for an in-game holiday song for all of you.

Sense Motive DC 12:

Bluff: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Yeah, I guess that even with my high bluff modifier, that lie really isn't believable...

And guess what? Gametime the 21st of Pharast is Vernal Equinox, aka Planting Week, one of the three major Erastilian holidays. And, um, we're heading to an Erastilian shrine with an Erastilian priest and the body of our own dear Kaz, a fallen comrade who was true and faithful to Erastil. We've even had a heartfelt Erastilian conversion of another PC.

This timing feels cosmic...

That month can't come soon enough, because Cyanne seems to be the only one who can get anything out of him. I feel like a failure, because nothing I do in-character seems to open any kind of RP between the two, up to and including dying.

Ooooooh. Good find! Freaky timing, that.

As for the brief hiatus, y'all know I'll be here chatting away anyway. *shrug*

Daen is grieving, Kaz. He's just grieving in a very shut down mode -- throwing himself into work, pulling away from the group, unable to handle Cyanne's tears because they might trigger his own. It's very hard to write a character going through that kind of depression, and I admire Oterisk for attempting it. Our group is so shut down with grief that we're hardly talking to each other at all. Cyanne had to have a conversation with her mongoose and the ghost in order to have someone to talk to!

You can't come back too soon, Kaz.


On top of all that, some characters just have a better rapport with others. It's easy enough to see in day-to-day life. For example, I liked all my coworkers at my last job and we all got along as group. However, even though we were a team, there were some that I was more inclined to be open with than others and the same was true in reverse.

I think that given the nature of these games and the possibility of the players behind each character becoming close, we expect that all the PCs will be equally close with each other as well when it's not always that nice and symmetrical. Unless there's a major personality clash between PCs every group I've seen almost always reaches the point where everyone views everyone else as a comrade, but if there's something weighing on PC A's mind, they're more likely to talk to PC C about it than PCs B or D - for whatever reason.

Hilary, that was pretty spot on. You have quite the understanding of Daen, if I have to take a hiatus, I might have you pinch hit for me.

Daen did offer to spar sometime. When you come back it would be an easy way to get some RP going with the guy. He'd be more than happy to discuss the business of the trip, the charter, or even if you were curious as to his growing up or even his ethics. Daen can be pretty chatty, but you might need to ply him with a question or two. He'd probably even return the favor. I think the two could have many interesting conversations, but Daen isn't really one to volunteer an icebreaker.

That being said, I think a dip in Celestial Bloodrager would be pretty cool for Kaz. If you weren't sold on the familiar, picking up Variant Multiclass Barbarian (no alignment restriction) is one of the best VMC's to pick up. Rage that scales, Paladin abilities that scale, rage powers and uncanny dodge and endgame DR are flipping cool. You are just shy on feats. If you take a one level dip in Cavalier, that's a good bump, no penalty on ride checks with your mount, challenge, and Mounted combat. If you did the VMC, I'd stick with Paladin until you got your bonded mount and think about it from there.

I will never be able to bot you.

If I were to pinch hit, I could run you in combat, and occasionally make a cutting remark or a dour observation, but that would only work for a very short time.

Your dialogue is endlessly surprising to me. I love watching Cyanne and Daen spar with one another, mentally. It's also really interesting watching Daen go nuts with the over analysis of everything.

The most I could do with Daen is give you lines in one of my flash slash pieces, or in my big Disney musical numbers. Besides, Cyanne is in love with Daen's mind, the passion with which he speaks. To bot that... That would be like masturbation. It's no fun to carry on romantic dialogue with oneself.

Are you going to have to go on hiatus?

I know that you're looking at working two jobs, and that your four small children and wife likely need you more than we do, but man... we would miss you. You're the pepper in our stew.

What would this game be without Daen providing a dour contrast to the rest of us cheery types?

Still, family comes first. Do what you need to do, and we'll all support you.

Hugs,
Hilary

I agree with Lady Ladile on this. I see Daen and Kaz as friends who respect each other but also view the world in very different ways. They don't know how to talk to each other but they still like each other.

We're getting into the holidays so I'm expecting posting to either slow or go stop in all of my games. I'll be here when we're all ready to carry forward. If you need to take a hiatus beyond that Daen I totally understand, just don't vanish or Lali will cry ;)

I might have to go on hiatus. Internet is one of our hefty bills and honestly we can survive without it for a couple months. The kids don't need it for school and the wife and I can get by. There's a couple of books we've been meaning to read to each other like we used to do before we could afford internet that could actually stream with regularity.

The good news is that the first day of classes for the new job had 26 applicants for 12 jobs. The second day there was 17. I don't usually like to toot my own horn, but I'm pretty much a lock at this point. I'd likely get the job as one of the full time ladies is a friend of mine and she wants to get me into teaching swim lessons. Private swim lessons is relatively lucrative, and if I get into that I might do pretty well. I do love to teach.

I won't vanish. I'm not the type. If I do have to go, I'll give plenty of warning and possibly a recommendation or two to take my place and a good story exit. The whole getting rid of internet thing would make it a bit hard to keep posting, but I might even have a trick or two in my sleeve to make it happen even if I have to go that route, so don't worry about me running off yet.

Awh that sucks (The no internet) and thats great (Potential job). Lots of places offer free wifi in a pinch though, like McDonalds or libraries.

That's a great solution for people who aren't parents of small children.

Daen's a devoted dad of four, and he's going to be working two jobs. Realistically speaking, the library and McDonalds are not going to cut it. When at McDonalds with his kids, they'd be clamoring for treats he could not afford to buy them. He'd also want to interact with the kids who'd be yelling, "Daddy, daddy, watch me do this!"

When I went through a time like this (a one year old at home, husband out of work, me working tons of extra hours) we avoided places where we had to pay to play. Libraries will be a little better, but once again if you're at the library with your four small children you'll want to spend time with them, snuggling up with them and reading them the books that they find for you. Daen's unlikely to be one of those awful internet parents you see in a library who's playing a game online while the children run wild.

I know that when I went through this, the only times I could post to my writing friends were late at night after the kids were asleep or early in the morning before they woke up. If I hadn't had internet at home, I wouldn't have been online at all.

Oterisk, could you bring Mrs. Oterisk over here to read this? I can see the appeal of paring down right now and you two focusing on just your family and each other. But I could also see the use of having a low bandwidth internet connection that you can use to keep in touch with job networks, far-flung family and email.

How much would such a thing cost for you two? I've gone through what you have, and come out the other side to a much stronger financial position. I've occasionally subscribed to an internet novel that I wanted the author to keep writing. I'd like Oterisk to be able to keep writing, too. I could easily spend thirty bucks that I would not miss to give you guys a month of low budget internet.

Would you guys let me do that for you? I couldn't afford a new apartment for Kaz, but I could do something small like this.

Hmm

Hmm, you are an absolute sweetheart. I could chip in to this fund as well.

Also, my posting will be sporadic until Christmas is over. I have a lot going on this week that is eating up my free time. I'll post when I have a chance, it will just take me longer than usual.

Three things.

1) I'd hate to see Daen go. I really would. I understand if a hiatus becomes necessary, but I'll still sulk :P
2) Hmm, you're an honest-to-goodness sweetie. Never change, you perfect cinnamon roll.
3) I'll also chip in if needed. (And if I can afford it, what with moving out in a few months.)

    I'm really glad for the spoiler. I knew the 'Big Mean Thing' was at the temple Kaz wanted to go to, killing it's been at the top of Lali's list for a while. And I knew we were taking Kaz to the temple of Erastil to bury him, but someone how my brain did not automatically make the connection between the two. /facepalm

    I am going to start taking detailed notes on everything Lali sees/wants so I don't derp out on things again. It's been a few months since we ran into the Fey in real time, but in character it's been what, two weeks? Something like that? Lali should have remembered right away

    I do take notes from time to time. And for my own purposes, I have a Daen answer countdown in Cyanne's spoiler mainly because otherwise I'm afraid at the speed of pbp we'd both forget. (Does that sound pathetic?) Still, at the rate we've been going, three weeks from now may well be May in real life. So, I'm trying to do my best to track it. I also keep notes on other things in my Cyanne doc in Google, but they're sporadic.

    It's probably good that Kaz hasn't heard any of the songs Cyanne performed for him. He'd be so embarrassed.

    Merry Christmas everyone, I do see that people are in the giving mood. I appreciate the sentiment, but things may have to be reassessed. I got the job and I start on Saturday. If I can float things until tax returns, I should be golden, so that should mean no hiatus barring catastrophe.

    In any case, you're all a bunch of sweeties.

    I might be a little sporadic over the next couple of days, but I'll check back in after the holiday with more solid news. I just wanted to get my post up so the combat could move farther, and it kinda turned into a novel. These things happen. Sleepy now.

    Also, for your perusal, here's roughly what Kaz should look like post-resurrection. hp roll: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

    The crunch!:

    I hope everyone had a good Christmas! Mine had a few hiccups (my father got me towels and coathangers, which was practical but rather impersonal, and my aunt remarked on my dog's death in a painfully insensitive way), but I was in (mostly) good company and got some cool t-shirts.

    Looking good, though im slightly confused where the hawk is coming from. Is this the class edit we were discussing or am I just not seeing the source? Also, what bloodline? Celestial im guessing?

    As for my christmas, it was great. First time in years weve been an actual gathering of 10+ people instead of just my parents, me and my sister. Sister just had her first child (Just christened last week, named him Anton)a few months ago, so our family and her finances family decided to gather for xmas. Was really nice.

    Got exactly what I wished for, which was boring clothes for the most part and some new running shoes. I use birthdays and xmas to restock on shirts and socks :)

    Celestial, taking a bloodline familiar for flavour. Kingmaker isn't big on evil outsiders, so the 1st-level bloodline power wouldn't see much use, and getting bloodline spells a level late isn't a big deal since I won't be multiclassing for long. If there can be some kind of limited 'speak with master' thing going on, Edel could serve as a guide to help ol' Clueless realize all his fancy supernatural abilities, plus bloodrage gives a mechanical benefit if Kaz gets all worked up again like he did with Tartuk.

    Could this work?

    Aww, sounds like a great way to spend Christmas!


    @Kaz Emmissary causes the Familair to no longer give alertness or Share Spells. If you used Hero Lab to generate this, you need to put Emmissary as an Archetype on Kaz and as an Animal Archetpye on the Minion tab for the hawk.

    Looks good otherwise.

    Nice job on the song, Kaz.

    Luthor, I'm jealous. My family hates to give me practical stuff. I'd love to be able to use Christmas to stock up on necessities, but no dice.

    Everyone else, it's snowing here in Minnesota.

    Here we go a-shoveling
    Scraping down the path
    Here we go a-ice-chipping
    After winter's wrath...

    Ice and snow come to you
    May you shovel the whole day through
    May the GM bless us and send Kaz back here
    May the GM send Kaz back here!

    Yep, the brain is officially off its leash and romping around the room. It does that!

    Hmm

    Emissary is a Familiar archetype, also from Familiar Folio. Swaps out some of the normal familiar abilities for others.

    You got an upgrade on your electronics. Doesn't that count as practical?

    I think hes just using the Bloodline Familiar option from the looks of it, so get to have Alertness.

    Yes, it also counts as a luxury. I wanted to lower the amount of Christmas spending we do years ago, but that's a battle I lost.

    Still the upgrade was very nice and useful!

    Has the Guidance listed under the familiar, which is why I thought Emissary.

    Yep, the familiar description lists emissary on Kaz's sheet.

    Huh, thought I'd done all that. Could be a bug, or something they haven't gotten to yet. No biggie, I can fix it manually. It'll just have to wait until I get back to my computer.

    ETA: or I could be misremembering, since I've just woken up...

    Okay. So. Today was the last day of family for Christmas. I'm pretty tired and have an early morning, followed by travel. Regular posting will resume tomorrow night or the next morning, for sure.
