No matter what Cyrus says, my sincerest apologies for the lack of quality GMing. I had though this to be done before I left, and I thought I'd have a bit more downtime. Alas the stars were not aligned.
Some behind the scenes stuff, Uliyara is the daughter of the baroness from Dalun, and she, like Kuragen wants to leave the frozen waste to explore. I regret not role playing her better, rushed the intros never really got her voice down in my head.
When attacking the Ulfen, that skipped an encounter where you get swept up into an Ulfen raid on Dalun which proves very messy.
This is conceptually a good adventure and I did not do it the justice I could have. The more scenarios I read and author's posts I read, the word count limitations really have a detrimental effect. I would suggest you play this core if you could and try the border dispute with a good GM.
Overall I hope you did have fun and sorry again for not fleshing it out more.

Don't kick yourself GM - This may have been subpar for you, but is still better than many other GMs I have seen. GMing is time-consuming and not easy, and in my opinion, even more so on PbP, because of the much richer storytelling that is possible.
You don't have anything to apologize for, as always I am grateful that you who GM take the time to do it, and allow me to play/write stories! This group is fantastic. I can't wait to meet half of you in less than a month, and I hope that there is a time when we can all meet down the road. I haven't had this much fun gaming since Lockwood ran season 2 of Skull and Shackles.
(hey... we have to finish that by the way...)

@ GM_TheBobJones: I thought the game went awesome, dude. I really liked it. I don't think you should apologize for anything, it was amazing! For my part, I hadn't noticed anything lacking from the roleplaying of Uliyara, and was totally into the plot twist with her. Again, dude, I thought it was awesome.
@ Cyrus: For sure, we should wrap up the finale of season 2 soon. I've been thinking about that AP lately and am disappointed that we faded out just at the climax. It will happen, sometime soon :)

@ Ibid I think we left off with Voda getting plucked out of the sky by a boulder... Somewhere around there. Maybe we are past that and I survived... Now I am terrified to find out... And the real climax was the masquerade ball. I hope that assassin shows back up somehow. Maybe I can launch a rescue mission for him... If he isn't dead when we get back.
Sorry for the mind dump everyone else... sometimes you just gotta write your thoughts down before you forget them :)

Checkbox: Was the ice diamond worth at least 900gp? If, then: Recover a gem worth at least 400 gp plus 100 gp per level you possess during an adventure.
@John: despite how you feel, this was a great game. Thanks for running!
There is no gp value but the author stated on the GM thread that it is safe to assume it is worth 900 gp so yes Amaranti.

Ohhh... Forgot about the jewel, that is probably a harder box to check, I will do that one too.
@ibid, it's the faction cards, free download, checkboxes are actually on the honor system, I'll send you the pdf (or the link) when I get to my computer tonight.

They're largely not worth it. First boon for the grand lodge is a whopping +1 to an acrobatics, climb, swim check with half the armor penalty (not too bad for Lort in a do or die situation, but if you have a serious armor penalty, you likely haven't invested the ranks to make do anyway!). I'm seriously considering saving myself the paperwork and throwing them in the garbage. Then the OCD competitive advantage freak in me starts tapping me on the shoulder. Little bastard.

Ha, I know I've heard of them, probably through reading the posts on our games, but I hand't ever looked into them myself. I think initially I thought you all were referencing specifc faction missions written into each scenario, and I figured the Grand Lodge faction missing-thingys hadn't come up yet.
It's good to know what they are though, I'd like to at least take a look, and then I'll probably scrap the whole idea of doing them at all :)
No problem , will work on chronicles tomorrow bright and early
Sorry again for the delay, Here are the Chronicles All reported, let me know if I goofed.
Thanks again everyone!

Thanks for the chronicles, and no delay - I very clearly remember you said Thursday!
Guys, just take a moment to check out the "wereguild thralls" negative boon for just how bad things can get if you don't kill those goofy Ulfen ship trappers at the start. Lort's decision was definitely in character for him, but I'd be lying if I said that meta didn't also play a part.
