Reduce Person would give Elaina or Arya +2 attack, +2 AC, and +1 damage- though the step down in weapon damage dice would make it a wash on average- so I think that would be a better general buff to have available.
It's up to you. Everyone seems to be holding their own for now, considering only Mimi and Elaina have appropriate weapons for zombie fighting.

Sorry for the slow posting. It's been all but impossible for me to get a post through without the forums eating it.
Solution seems to be to write the post on the PC and then email it to myself so I can copy/paste on my phone. Why the phone is reliable is a whole other question.
That's alright, Mimi needed some quiet time.
The website could use some work. I had the "can't connect on a computer but can connect on my phone" thing a week ago.
We are looking for another person for this game. So you know, check is out and see if you like it.
I swear, the forums work perfectly for awhile, and the moment I have to write up a combat post, the most complex posts that I really want to be able to do on my computer, and they crap out when posting.
Um, Arenel and Valghaz are in a different area than Mimi, Elaina, and Arya.
To move things forward (we've been idling here for awhile now), I had everybody cross the pool using the rope idea mentioned earlier.
Valghaz and Arenel stayed behind as dwarves don't swim. The idea was that they would wait for the others to open the trapdoor. So is the encounter meant for the others who went out?
I think Mimi's plan was to tie a rope to the door frame so that you wouldn't have to swim across so much as just pull yourself along the rope.
Presumably we could have also used the rope to get all of our heavy gear across the water as well, and then waited while you reequipped anything too heavy to wear on your journey.
I think it's a much better plan than splitting the party again, and helps move things forward quicker.
I prefer the splitting up part for story and character development purposes, but we've been at this obstacle for almost three weeks what with site outages and slow posting, so I'd rather just move things along. We can chat in a tavern after we make it back.
While I can understand moving things along for time reasons, one of the best things about PBPs is the fact you have the time to just sit and do character development. You don't need to pack as much as you can into 4 or so hours. You can focus a lot more on the characters than the actual mechanics. I mean the bit with Elaina took, 3 days I believe?
Either way there is no changing it now, but I am a bit saddened by the fact a chance for character development got pushed along. We'll just have to find another time for it.
I completely agree with you on the merits of PbP's, but I don't think we're losing anything from moving on in the main story. I assume this is the boss of the level, there's probably plenty of time for talking next. I don't think there's anything else physically being in the cave is going to reveal since we've found out Valghaz doesn't swim (do any dwarves?) and Elaina can't and Mimi cheats.
Mimi cheats.
Hey hey there, knowledge is power.
You can always continue the RP portion in a time-separated way...just include the conversation in a sectioned-off area of your post, whether it be a quote, or just a simple line of hyphens to indicate it happened before the current events.
RP is fantastic, and I love that you guys are so into it, but the group has been at this specific room - with the urchins and deep pool - since June 15th (even longer if you count when you first encountered it and then rested). PBP games go much slower than in-person games, yes, but some kind of momentum still needs to be maintained.
Anybody alive?
I'm here!
Same.
Here, just not sure what our next step should be.
Have a look through the treasure again. There's something in there that could be of use.
How long would the elemental last? Think the best thing would be to have it walk through the wall and push the rocks off the trap door.
Elemental Gems are CL 11 and basically cast summon nature's ally, so it would be 11 rounds.
I'm surprised no one objected to Elaina controlling a large elemental...
Anything to be out of those acursed tunnels, honestly.
I'm going to be travelling interstate for a four day conference from tomorrow and probably won't get a chance to post anything while I'm there. Please feel free to bot Arya as required, although it looks like I'll mostly about to be missing out on RP, unfortunately.
Assume she will be drinking heavily and trying to encourage Elaina and the others to get along.
It sounded like people wanted to RP for a bit, but then no posts. Should I move things forward?
Sounds good to me.
Sorry, I've been out with the cold. I tried to get through post but well... it didn't go well.
Valghaz, you still with us? Arya and Elaina have been dominating the posts recently, but weren't you going to meet with Arenel in a bar?
I'm sorry for my absence. Life has been...difficult, lately. I'll try to make a post as soon as possible.
Valghaz is out for about 2 weeks or so. I'll be botting him if needed in combat.
Sad day, but I understand.
=(
Good luck with your stuff, Valghaz.
Sorry to hear that, hope things get better soon.
I hope all's well Valghaz!
We ready to move the plot forward?
Certainly! Sorry for holding things up so much with Arya and Elaina's little adventure. I guess it was bad timing that the others didn't get a chance to roleplay as well since Valghaz is away.
What Arya said. But where oh where has our Valghaz gone?
Tis a question I would like the answer to as well. Though I would have liked to roleplay I don't want to hold us up as I have no idea when he will return if ever. So yes. Moving on.
Ready to go! The break has been fine with me. I've had a very busy couple of weeks so it came at a good time.
Sorry I've been a bit less active lately, my mom had back surgery and I've mostly been taking care of her because well... I don't trust my stepdad to do it. He's just not good with that kind of thing.
I'm sorry for my absence. But I have things in order now, and am back if you'll have me.
<3
Gladly my friend! ^_^
Thank you. I'm getting caught up now. Glad to be back in the group
Also if you still want to do their date, we can just do that along with what we're doing now. I like to separate past and present with this
================================
I for one want to see the date
Glad to have you back Valghaz!
I too would love to read about Arenel and Valghaz's date.
