Sometimes it helps to get things done to feel better, and sometimes you get things done when you feel better.
Whatever the case, I'm glad you're feeling better, Jon.
Who is the guy you've used for Remington?
I hadn't noticed actually. Probably a reflection on me.
Glad you're feeling better.
Remington's image is Jacop Tintorreto's Ritratto Di Scipione Clusone Con Il, a protrait of Scipio Clusone...not featured in the image on the website is his dwarf valet.
Oh yeah, that guy.
Should I wait for Izami? Cuz...
Go ahead and post. If Izami hasn't been able to post by thi evening I'll have her make a dude bleed from his brain.
Morgan, I was really hoping for at least an annoyed glance at the "herding cats" comment.
I considered it. But for him, being unherdable is something of a compliment.
I don't see how they're going to bond if you don't let her annoy you.
I just love that Morgan's primary contribution revolves around napping.
If only there was some magic triggered by knocking things off tables.
Hadn't I had my charm, I would have actually fallen asleep casting that spell.
The giant armoured undead can have another round, if you guys want...
Shadow eidolons can't be healed by normal healing magic?
Rules wise, there is some wierdness with Synthesist Summoner Eidolons, or there was. Because they counted as temporary hit points only things that specifically targeted an Eidolon would work, or something like it. I'm at a work terminal and can't look up the details right now.
GMJon has pretty much all of it, shadow eidolon isn't the issue, it's that synthesist eidolons can only be healed by eidolon-targeting spells as technically summoner and eidolon share 1 hit point pool and the eidolon's are temporary hit points and normal cure spells don't give temporary HP. It would be very nice if it was otherwise as the healing is pretty bad until Nurai gets access to 3rd level spells.
Huh. I had no idea. Thanks for the info.
An explanation and an apology are both needed and overdue.
Recently, I've begun to feel out of phase with all PbP RPGs that I've been playing, either as a GM or a player. If any of you were in my games, you know that I've entered a hiatus of undefined length, thinking it was GM burnout. Apparently, it was not only that. Despite my life stabilizing in a new routine as I started my PhD, something has changed in my mind, and playing has become to feel more and more as a chore and less of a pleasure. It's not the stories, the GMs or the other players, I've been enjoying immensely the games until now: I think I've just saturated myself with PbP, with reading and reacting, and with the engagement every day. I've tried to soldier on, hoping it was just a phase, but in the end I can't force myself to play against my will.
I honestly don't know if and when I'll be coming back. I entrust Morgan to your care, especially dear Jennifer. He would enjoy being your familiar.
If/when I feel more like the player I was, I hope that you'll be here to come back to, but if it doesn't happen I'd like you to know that it's been a pleasure to play with you all.
Merry gaming, may your rolls be high and your loot be plentiful.
Well, we're sorry to see you go. You and your characters have been fun to play with. Hopefully, you enjoy and get your joy of the game back. But for now have fun and good luck with the PhD.
Farewell, Morgan/Aurora! I completely understand reaching burnout on something, so kudos on recognizing your limits and focusing on what's important. Good luck on the PhD.
Agreed with the above. I will miss seeing your characters be, well, themselves. Take care.
The sub we're in is NOT part of our job, right? I mean, our clients are probably interested in it, but it's not one of theirs, right?
They don't even know it exists, and won't if you don't mention it. Nor will they likely care directly about it - it's a slightly out of date Russian vessel. You're working for the British, more or less.
That's what I thought, but I wanted to confirm. Thanks.
Quick FYI: Things are crazy in my life right now. My wife is in public health, so she's working pretty much 24/7 due to COVID 19 stuff and a city-wide water supply issue here in Houston, so I'm pretty much single dad for a few weeks. I'll probably need to drop off for a day or two (like I did this weekend), here and there. I intend to catch up, but feel free to bot me if needed.

Not a problem, and my sympathies to your poor wife and yourself. I can only imagine how hectic a scare like this must make her job. Every hypochondriac with a sniffle must be beating down her doors, screaming they have the damned thing.

That's not far off, some days. Thanks for understanding.
It's with a lot of regret that I'm announcing I have to pull out of all my games - I simply don't post often enough, and I'm actually kind of afraid of posting in PbP. No, I don't know why (it's clearly irrational); I like the games, I like the characters, and I like the other players. You're all wonderful. The problem is obviously me, and none of you deserve to have me dragging you down. I'm sorry I cannot be better. If anyone wants to chat or just say hi, I'm active on Discord, and you can find me on the Drop Dead Studios server (a link is available through the Spheres of Power Wiki).
(Also, feel free to keep using Izami as a sword. >.> Randomly losing your weapon is bad.)
We'll be sorry to loose you, and hopefully I'll see you at some point in the near future.
Take care. We'll try not to break you.

Aw, bye Rednal. You're a fun poster.
I understand being overwhelmed by trying to keep up your hobbies. Take care of yourself, and please don't think that you're a problem or not good enough.
Anyway guys, let's strap Izami to Morgan's back and send them ahead to spring any traps.
So, my plan is to tweek this module so it's suitable for 3 folks, then do some re-recruiting between modules. If anyone has any friends they'd like to see join us send them our way.

Update: They closed the schools today through March 30th due to the community spread of the coronavirus. Next week is our Spring Break, so I've already taken the week off to watch the kids, but the week after that is still up in the air. Wife is still working crazy hours, children are still small and needy, but I should have some help from my retired mom occasionally. My youngest has really started acting out at school (we're assuming because of the drop in personal attention and an overall community anxiety that seems to be everywhere), so some time away from school may help her by giving her less she needs to rebel against and give her teacher a break. Anyway, I'll still be inconsistent from time to time.
Yikes, fun times.
I lost my internet for a few days but I'm trying to catch up.
And yeah, good luck with the quarantines everyone.
The part that exploded?
Someone refresh me on what exploded previously?
The last one of the Chests had a trap on it. A summoned creature was sent it to open it off without disarming the trap. It was on the 1940's ship you were on before, and briefly went back in time (?) on.
Not that I have any illusion magic, but remind me what Artyom looks like?
Small, slight, dark-haired and heavily bearded.
I'm assuming they won't be in range of the flamethrower any time soon, but when would it be practical to rain down automatic leaded fury?
When they're about two rounds out. You can fire now, but it'll be with 1 range penalty and no touch attack.
Thanks, Nurai, for throwing them off guard by trying to negotiate with them!
Alright I'll wait.
I wasn't being sarcastic towards your action, Kaelic. Jennifer's probably already ruined a "peaceful" resolution with her silence spell. Maybe. It's kind of up to the individual spellcaster if they take it as an act of aggression.
But I don't see how Jennifer would know about Nurai's message spell.
No I meant I'll wait until they're 2 rounds out to shower them with bullets. Obviously I wasn't paying attention to Jennifer.
A wise tactic.
As soon as I figure out how to use this rifle I intend to lay down some suppressive fire.
Need to look at the reference doc and my sheet to figure out what's up.

I did the bloodmath. Checks out.
I really feel like any circumstance that involved +140 to a d20 roll should not be a thing.

Jon, it was 148.

Yes, the 8 is important. Who knows what would have happened without it.
