I am, welcome back!
Ready! o wo/
Looking back in the history, the post describing the "wrong" box actually had the right phrase on it. So even if we were expecting a puzzle about tiny little details, we didn't have the right information to actually accomplish this. We looked like fools for nothing.

Well.
Anyway, let's find a monster or something. :P

The post describing the wrong box had To my House I am bound on it. Whisp explained the box you were looking for had To my House am I bound. Admittedly the only difference is the I and Am are swapped, yes, but it was deliberate. And since it was very unpopular, both the penalties and rewards for catching onto or missing such subtle details have been removed from the later sections. I am very sorry you feel I made a fool out of you guys, but the idea was to start you guys thinking about wordplay and the like for the more political section. Again, those word play sections have been removed now, and this will not happen again. Promise.
Also, I may not be around tomorrow, as I'll be heading to my Grandma's funeral...and then going to work, since I couldn't arrange cover. Well, no, my boss offered...but she's 6 months pregnant and working the morning shift, so I couldn't let her do that. Sorry to start us up again only to possibly take another break, but Fridays can sometimes be...hectic and I'll like as not only have an hour or two spare.
Ack! My bad, forgot I never came back and finished that post.
I did wonder...
Chirping crickets...
I'm waiting to find out what Ellara saw, I don't really have anything to add right now.
*Cackles madly*
The Shapeshifter's Handbook is out. >D
That bodes well.
Yup. XD It was always my intention to focus heavily on the transformation side of things, and this ensures plenty of interesting new options.
Sorry for the delay. I've been...what's the term for not really well? Oh yes, unable to breath your human air.
I'll be posting tomorrow/later today. If Karnelia (who is also having issues) hasn't posted by then, I'll bot her as needed.
I'll try and get a post in ASAP, sorry about that.
Karnelia, Kiyomi?
I'm still waiting for some response as to whether A4 is really still alive after 62 damage.
Hey all, uh, big apologies for that looooooooooong delay.
I was pretty ill these last few days but I'm getting better.
A4 is down.
This week is going to be pretty crazy. Lots of meetings at work, and juggling termite tenting, prep and taking care of the dogs in my off time.
I'm not sure how much time I'll have, so please robot me as needed.
I'll move you guys along once you finish this conversation. I get the feeling deciding on what to do with prisoners and the like will be an important one.
So, I've realized that I've got 2 talents to spend, and I've finally learned about advanced talents and drawbacks and all that stuff.
Also, while Mystic's randomness is fun, it's also just more things to keep track of, so I'm thinking of swapping out that dip for something else.
I may be posting an updated Julie statblock proposal, now that we're out of combat.
Drawbacks are good - but remember that Advanced Talents need permission. XD
Currently my plan is to spend one on getting the Protection Sphere, for even MORE armor class. :P
Well, all the Protection Sphere Advanced talents are caster level 10 or higher, so we'll cross that bridge when we level up to it.
Hmm... My theoretical modifications are getting to the degree to where I should probably just wait until we level up or rest for the night. I've discovered I can finagle around my build by switching to Hedgewitch, resulting in doing literally everything I can do now, but with slightly less uses per day, but with a lot more out of combat utility.
Seeing it would reduce my uses per day past what I've already spent, it wouldn't be fair to make those changes now.
Send me your thoughts and I'll look them over, let you decide on rebuilding before we level up...which shouldn't be too far into the future.
Sorry, as some of you already know I got distracted by a family issue, my step-father being diagnosed with cancer.
So, shall we assume you leave the remaining attackers under Seria's well armed care? Do you want to finish them off? Or would you like to present a third option?
If she has no objections, I'd be happy to leave them with her. o wo/
Julie favors killing them, but not so heavily she'd insist if someone else was firmly in favor of leaving them alive.
Lady Karnelia has willingly stepped out of this decision.
I favor eliminating them as well. But if Seria believes she can handle them, I would reluctantly allow this.
So, as you might have noticed, I'm running really slowly in this game. I'll be honest - I don't know why. The story is in my mind, the interest is there, but the energy isn't.
As some of you know from other games, I am having some personal issues. The details are a little depressing, but I'll sum it up as I've lost or am about to loose a lot of close family members over the last 18 months or so. I've already lost my brother and grandmother, and now I'm losing the man who raised me when my actual father decided sleeping with everyone and drinking all the food money were good plans.
To the surprise of no one, I've been diagnosed as having depression. The main symptom of that? Lack of energy.
For some reason, while I've been...OK at keeping up with other games and such, this game keeps falling by the wayside. For one, I keep thinking other folks need to post, and when I start thinking 'maybe I sould deal with stuff anyway' I tend to get distracted. Mostly, I admit, by Stardew Valley.
So, basically, I intend to keep going. However, for at least a short while, I am going to be slow. I'll therefore understand if folks want to drop out.
When one of my other GM's stopped running for two years, when he posted "hey, anyone still interested?" I responded within 24 hours. I'm a long-hauler. :P
I'm still here. o wo/ And plan to stay here for as long as the game's going to be running.
Real life happens. And sometimes it really sucks. I'll be here as long as you want to keep going.
The attacker dudes are currently cowed into submission, yes? Or do we need to put them down for the count too?
Dead or dying, mostly.
It's not that Karnelia gets talked over, it's just that she asks for permission and consensus and other people don't bother asking or responding and just do things.
The difference between the two is semantic at best.
Also, to make things clear: I have no issues out of character about people acting over Lady Karnelia's head.
Being hesitant and not taking her place is who she is (mostly due to her family life), and it's only logical that more assertive or forceful characters would step over her.
I'm heading to previously mentioned funeral shorter, and won't be available for a couple of days. Sorry folks. Feel free to discuss how to escape the death trap.
Julie plans on laughing for awhile.
It's our post guys, also, how about that Spheres of Might playtest?
Mostly, I'm looking forward to the full version. XD Also, hoping Paizo fixes its error sometime soon.
If folks wanna rebuild into Spheres of Might, that is acceptable. I like what I've seen so far.
And yes, errors are a pain in my ass.
Holy.. Dueling Sphere.. Bleed damage that works for my chainsword and Cut From the Air... Yess..... If I can still take Smash From the Air at level 9 I totally wanna make the switch..
Well played Ellara. We all know who's going to be the favorite now.
So...what the hell happened?
The short version is dead relatives, physical illness and depression sapped my energy, and this game just got...forgotten. Unfortunately, I'll be honest - it's going to remain so. I've lost my drive in the plotline for now, I'm afraid. And my energy is still very hit and miss.
This doesn't automatically mean I won't pick up this idea at a later date - I've done so with another game - but for now...yeah.
I am terribly sorry, both for stopping so close to end of the first part and for not simply admitting it. I kept thinking 'I'll go pick that up' and then...not.
Thank you all for being wonderful players.
Jon.
It's alright, Jon. Life happens.
I'll be honest, I never really managed to get into Karnelia's character and was mostly just pushing along because I didn't want to flake out.
Thanks for DMing, and I'm happy to keep going on our other game.
Thanks for the game, everyone!
